Lord Newport, who has been selected by the Con servatives to succeed Mr. Cust in the representation of North Shropshire, has at length issued an address to the electors, in which he:says :—" My political opinions are Conservative, and, I believe, are in ac cordance with those of the hon. gentleman, whose place I seek to fill. If I have the honour of being elected as your member in Parliament, I should wish' to reserve to myself an independent judgment on all matters affecting y our interesst, and those of the country, but should go there prepared to give a general support to her Majesty's Government. On the great question of Parliamentary Reform which now occupies so much the public attention, I should be prepared to assist in the endeavour to pass a measure which would considerably extend the fran chise without unfairly distribu'ing the balance of political power. • There is another question which I feel i 3 a subject of great interest to a large number of this constitueney—namely, the malt-tax. It is a tax which in my opinion presses heavily upon some classes, and when a revision of taxation is under the consideration of the House of Commons I consider that this tax should be among the first, if not the first, to be removed." After some deliberation, the Liberals have decided not to contest this seat at a time when a dissolution of Parliament appears to be a not improbable event. Lord Newport's return, therefore, will not be opposed. these undeserved denunciations which had been hurled against him, and he felt it was painful that one could not enter on the conflict of politics in Edinburgh—in a city which represented the intel lect, the refinement, and the poetry of Scotland without being stifle 1 with; the due. of i dr.!ary pers7malities, or being involved in the mysteries of small and paltry intrigneA. Mr. Moncrieff, who was enthusiastically received, was awarded a cordial vote of thanks for his explanation=, ani some cinversa don ensued as to the necessity of a thorough orga nisation of the ward conunitte, s. THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. On Saturday b.nd the previous day the metropolis was placarded with posters, headed " The Echo to Lowe's Speech," and announcing that a meeting of the working men of London would be held on that afternoon at four p.m. in Trafalgar-square, for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Govern ment measure of Reform. At the hour appointed for holding the meeting there were certainly not 200 persons assembled,whe had come for the purpose of taking part in the poli tical demonstration about to take place. At four o'clock some three or four persons mounted the northern side of the projecting stone work of the Nelson Column between the lions, and unrolled two flags, one blue and the other yellow, on which were severally inscribed the words, Registered Manhood Suffrage, and " Vote by Ballot." Immediately after this Mr. George Potter, whose name appeared on the placard con vening the meeting, as chairman, and Mr. Hartwell, as secretary, with some other persons, made their appearance, and also mounted the stonework of the column, which soon became crowded. The assembly in front gradually augmented, bat at no time were there more than 2,000 persons assembled. On the motion of Mr. BROOKS, Mr. G. ParrEtt was voted to the chair. He said that was only a preliminary meeting, and had been convened at about three days' notice, and therefore they could not expect a very large gathering, but there was one thing most satisfactory, and that was that those who were there were the genuine sort of men. r They were going to have a series of 'theseitectitga-at.4o4xo'cl o ck wry Satciday *ter ' BOW for some weeks tO come, and then these Meet-. Tugs would no doubt culminate in a great national demonstration. (Cheers.) They, no doubt, all pretty well knew and underkood as well as he did how the working classes had been ignored by what was going on in Parliament, and how the Tory Go vernment wished to make them believe that they were enfranchising the working classes by the addi tion of 100,000 votes, whereas the bill of last year would have given them an increase of 200,000 votes. They (the working classes) had assembled there as honest men to tell Government that they had offered a measure of Reform which the working classes of England had determined not to accept as a settle ment of this question, sad that they were deter mined never to rest until it was properly and justly settled; that they were unanimously determined never to cease agitation till it was settled in a man ner which should give to the working classes the right to the franchise they were fully and fairly en titled to. They did not want agitation, but they were determined never to cease agitation till they obtained their rights. (Cheas.) What were those rights? He would tell them. The right to the privileges of citizenship in this great country, which they hail helped to make so. It was the working classes which in the main produced the wealth of this great country, and had contributed to the great power and pres6 . le-r.761.1tit. 4.44,)y....1 amongst other nations of the world. In return for this all the working classes asked was to be permitted to have a voice in the management of its affairs. (Hear.) Was there anything unreasonable in that? (Cries of " No, no.") Many people had said Lord Derby and the Tory Government could not deal with the quesion of Reform. (Hear, hear, and oh !) He (Mr. Potter) could not understand that, and when be found the Tory Standard of that morning ad vising the Tory Government to consent to a mea sure of household suffrage, he questioned very much whether the Tory Government would be able to deal with it. (Hear, hear.) All he (Mr. Potter) could say - was that if Mr. Disraeli would give them household suffrage and a lodger franchise he should be inclined to hold his peace for some , time to come. (Hear.) But the working classes were determined not ;to be trifled with, and when they found the Tory P ress advising household suf frage it showed tl.at the working classes had screwed the Tory Government up pretty tightly ; and unless they were wise in time, and gave the working c l a sses their just rights, they were determined to screw a great deal. more.

(Hear.) The working men of England could live without a week's pay now, as no doubt many of them had had to do before, when out of cmploymmt. Well, suppose they left off work for a week, then he should advise all the working men to walk about the streets of this great metropolis day after day,. stop all the traffic, and stop all business, and in fact reader themselves a public nuisance. (Cheers, and laughter.) It was far better that they should render themselves this public nuisance at once than that they should be compelled to continue this prolonged agitation— (hear, hear)—an agitation that might in all proba bility lead to more serious consequences. One of the days of the week when the working classes ceased from labour he would have set apart as a day of humiliation, when the working men should go to St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, and pray t hat a great and impending calami'y might be averted and a revolution avoided. (Hear, hear, and laughter, in the midst of which some one called out " Bosh," and some uproar ensued.) For whatever might be the result of these agitations, the govern ing powers would be responsible. (Hear, hear.) He did not advocate physical force, but after the money which had been expended, and the sacrifices which the working classes bad made, to prove that they were in earnest in demanding, and to the justice of their being entitled to the franchise, delay was dangerous. For hirty• four years this thing bad been going on ; the country had increased in population, advanced in intelligence, power, were still dep r i ve d o f th e and wealth ; and yet with nn this the great The feeling p ermea ti ng th e right raaSs ° o f f t c h i e ti:e:h in ip ti . nitY whole nation was that this Reform question should be settled, and if the Tory party wished for peace they had the power to settle it. (Hear, hear.) After referring to the position of the lodger who paid £2O a year for his apartments having no vote, whilst the tenant who let the house out at a profit and lived in the kitchen had a vote, Mr. Potter concluded by stating that on the following Satur dayhave two or th ree p l at f orms, as require, in Trafalgar- square . (Ap oecasti h o e n y m l i V g o h u t l d (Ap plause.) Mr. CONNOLLY moved the only resolution that was proposed :—" It is the opinion of this meeting that the Government measure of Reform, as ex plained by Mr. Disraeli, is most unsatisfactory in its character, and a fraud on the rights of the work ing classes, and we hereby call upon the Liberal members of the House of Commons to resist any measure of Reform which did not recognise the just representation of the people; and we are further of opinion that any measure which does not include an extensive lodger franchise will not be satisfac tory to the working classes." He had been told that if he moved a resolution on this subject in Tra falgar-square he would see the inside of a prison, but prison or no prison ho now moved it. (Cheers.) tie clenowicel the fancy franchise schemes of Mr. Disraeli, which he said pve the franchis , with one hand and drew it back with the other. The working classes were not to be humbugged into the belief that giving the vote to the " rat catcher and the pedlar, to the parson and the s•Alool master," was extending the franchise to them, and therefore they would have nothing to do with him or his franchise, and would be satisfied with nothing short, as a settle:nent of the question, of manhood suffrage and the ballot. Mr. UPSIIALL seconded the resolution, and con tended that they had more to hope for from thy• Tories than the Whigs and false-hearted Liberals, and now the Derby Government had the opportu nity of making themselves respected and beloved by the working classes if they would mete out to them a measure of reform. Mr. LUCRAFT and Mr. RICK ARDSON lIISO ad dressed the assembly, and the resolution was put and carried unanimously, after which the meeting peaceably dispersed. T. T.

An active canvass is now going on between the rival sections of the Liberal party in Edinburgh, and it now appears certain that the " Independent Liberals" will make a strenuous effort to secure both seats, while Mr. Moncreiffs supporters are as fully determined to retain their share in the representa tion, if not to recover the ground lost at last election. On Wednesday night Mr. Moncrieff, before leaving for London, addressed his aggregate committee, and urged his followers to be prepared to meet the new attack. Ou the subject of the Annuity-tax Bill he made a long explanation in vindication of his conduct, showing that he had been the first of many who had tried it to succeed in reducing the amount of the clerical impost, and in doing away with invidious privileges of exemption. He main tained that the Act of 1860 was a bargain between the friends of the Church and the opponents of the tax, and the settlement then effected, by which the tax was reduced from 10d. to 3d., ought to have held good at least for the present generation. Ile also entered into explanations to show that while the Act afforded facilities for the redemption of the tax, these had not been used by the Town Council, which had now petitioned for its total abolition. He complained of the conduct of several leading Dis senters in town, who, having again and again ac cepted the resolutions on which the Act of 1860 was founded, new turned roues.' upon him and censured him for his faithful adherence to the bargain he had made in their behalf and for the good of the town. He did not object to be opposed as a candidate for the representation of the city, but he did object to Naval and Military Intelligence. VALETTA, Feb. 26.—The screw troopship Tamar, Capt. F. W. Sullivan, C. 8., arrived on the 19th from t'ortsmonth 22 days, Kingstown 14, and Ply mouth, 10, with the 61th Regiment (2d Stafford- Shire), - which is to relieve the 84th (York and Lan caster) under orders to proceed in thesatne vessel to Jamaica. The Tamar encountered very boisterous weather in the Bay of Biscay. Having disembarked the 61th Regimenton the 20th inst. she will embark the 84th on the 28th inst., and sail the following day for Jamaica, calling at Gibraltar and Madeira. It is expected that Lord C. Paget will soon take the squadron out for a cruise in the Malta channel for the purpose of exercise. The Arethusa, 35, Captain Macdonald, returned on the 21st inst. from Alexan dria, which port she left. on theBth inst. The Racer, 11, Commander L. Brine, and the Eudymion, 21, Capt. C. Wake, are expected shortly, the first from Alexandria and Suda Bay, the latter from Alexan dria and the Levant. The Prussian screw frigate Gazelle, Capt. L. Henek, returned here on the 15th inst. from Naples. The two Dutch vessels of war, Adolf Hertog von Nassau, frigate, 50, and the Von Speyte, 22, corvette, which lately arrived here from Naples, and which were expected to proceed to Cadiz, have left for Holland direct, after the receipt of a tbl'egraphie message from the Minister of Marine. The corvette left on Tuesday morning early, the 19th, and the frigate on the 20th. The Caradoc, despatch vessel, Lieut.-Com. Wilkinson, is under orders to leave Malta on Saturday next for Constan tinople, calling at the Piraeus en route. The Bishop of Gibraltar proceeds in her to Athens and other places in Greece where there are English communi ties. Her Majesty's ships in port are the Victoria (bearing the flag of the Commander-in-Chief), Hibernia (bearing the flag of the Admiral-Superin tendent), Ocean, Prince Consort, Arethusa, Assur ance, Cockatrice, Tyrian, Caradoc, Hydra, Psyche, and Tamar. The screw steamship Rainey, 79, 500 horse power, Capt. A. Heneage, flagship of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir H. Keppel, K.C.8., fitting for ser vice in China, where she relieves the Princess Royal os flagship, has received her officers and crew, and has shipped her armament and the greater portion of her war department and other stores. Accord ing to present arrangements she will take her de parture from the Nore for China in the early .part of the ensuing week, calling at Portsmouth, wtiere she will ship the remain -ler of her officers and crew. Vice-Admiral Keppel proceeds to China by the overland route, in readiness to join his flagship on her arrival. The full history of the Crimean gunboats has, it appears, yet to be written. The Naval Storek •eper at Portsnmt% having retired from active service on the superannuation pension, a successor was ap pointed by the Board of Admiralty, and two gentlemen at Portsmouth were deputed to " take stock" of all public naval property in the port. The persons employed upon this duty have not yet proceeded far with their work, but already the annexe of the mainyard, the Haslar gunboat-yard, and slipway at Haslar many thousands of pounds worth of stores have been found which have no place on the Storekeeper's books, of which no one has responsible charge, and the original value of which has, therefore, become frightfully deteriorated from neglect. The majority of these stores consist of the machinery which be longed to the now broken-up hulls of the Crimean gunboats. This collection of costly machinery has been placed in a storehouse underneath Nos. 1 and 2 sheds in Haslar-yard, but, as already stated, no one had charge of it, and therefore no one can be blamed. The machinery of the gunboats thus stored away at Haslar cannot have cost the country much less than £50,000. But very little work has been had out of any of it, yet as it now lies in the half-built store house that has been provided for it no ordinary visi tor to the yard would look upon it otherwise than as worn-out machinery and old iron. Adviees from the West India station report that her Majesty's steam transport Simoom, Capt. Leth bridge, It.

She left Sierra Leone on Jan. 1, arrived at Barbadoes on the 17th, left on the 21st, and arrived at Demerara on the 21th, which port she left on the 25th. The Simoom was under orders to leave Port Royal for England on Sunday, the 10th ult., bring ing home the following officers (many of them mem bers of the late courts-martial atJamaica) and fami lies :•—Dep. Com.-Gen. Plant and family ; Capt. Johnson, Ist West India Regt., D.A.A. General of Volunteers ; Mrs. Johnson and family, Mrs. Col.

Vesey, arrived at Port Royal on the sth from Honduras. The Jason had left Honduras for Vera Cruz. The Constance and Sphinx were at Barbadoes on Feb. 7. The gunboat Min strel arrived at Grenada from Trinidad on Jan. 28, and after coaling proceeded for Barbadoes. The arrivals and departures of troops at the camp at Aldershot, consequent on the exchanges of sta tions usually made at this season of the year, still continue. On Friday detachments of the Ist, 2a, and 3d Battalions Grenadier Guards, and Ist Bat talion Scots Fusilier Guards arrived at the North Camp, and proceeded to occupy quarters in I and K lines. On Wednesday the dismounted portion of No. 2 Troop, Military Train, will proceed from the North Camp station of the South Eastern Railway, via Reading, to Liverpool, for embarkation to Dublin. This troop will be relieved by No. 1 Troop from Dublin, which will arrive at the camp by rail on the Bth or 9th inst., and by march on the 23d inst. C Battery, 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, will arrive at the camp from Leith Fort by steam and fail on the Bth or 9th inst., and by march on April 5. Several other changes of station will shortly take place, the effect of which will be a considerable augmentation to the strength of the division at Aldershot. Colonel R. W. Lacy, 56th Regiment, has been appointed to the command of the Ist Infantry Bri gade at Aldershot, from the Ist inst. inclusive. The Ist B atalion Coldstream Guards were re lieved in Dublin on the 28th ult. by the 2d Bat talion of the same corps, under the command- of Colonel Artnytage. The Ist Battalion, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Le Couteur, arrived at Euston station , about 10 30 a.m on Saturday morning, and were marched to St. George's and r3hehca Barracks. The conduct of this battalion during their visit to Dublin has been exemplary. Detachments of the Battalions of the Scotch nisi ier and Coldstream Guards, numberin4 7 ofTic tn.l 200 men, under the command of Captains Lade Lod Smith, have arrived at Eastbourne, for the pur pose of undergoing a course of ba!l 1 ractice at the Government Loge.

The story of the Atlantic Cabla told by CI - uus W. FIELD, at the banquet given in his honour in November last by the Chamber of Commerce of New York, is a simple and elopunt talc of a won derful achievement. His return to England recalls the circumstances of the great triumph of science —circumstances mai) vvhi4 he is so inti mately associated that' if the event is to hand any one man's name down to posterity that name will be—Crrms W. FIELD. Just thirteen years ago, for four successive even ings, six gentlemen gathered around a table, in the commercial metropolis of America, on which lay maps and charts, plans and estimates, to consider a project to extend a line of Telegraph from \ Nova Scotia to St. John's, in Newfoundland—thence to be carried across the ocean. That table was Mr. FIELD'S ; and it was he who, with all the enthu siasm of an earnest nature, with a great and bril liant project before it, was impressing the practi cability of the scheme on the gentlemen around. Happily for the great undertakings of the world the imagination bounds over the rugged difficulties raised by nature at every turn, and often entraps the instruments suitable for carrying to a success plans of the greatest difficulty by presenting those plans under an aspect of comparative ease. When CYRUS FIELD thus commenced the formation of the Atlantic cable belittle anticipated the 13 years of trial and labour before him, the heart-breaking and the financial failures involving for so long a period all connected with the enterprise in heavy loss. But his was not a nature to be baulxed by difficulties, and as they rose before him so rose his determina tion to surmount them, and to his indefatigable energy and undaunted pluck is due the final success which has showered honours on many, and national advantages on all. It took two years and a half to carry out the plan, and over a million and a quarter of dollars were expended by these few gentlemen before even this small instalment of the great scheme was completed. But if CYRUS FIELD now saw some of the real difficulties that ley before him, he had gained in what he had already accomplished, an amount of knowledge and experience which peculiarly • fitted him for fulfilling the task to which he had de voted himself. Great interest was excited in the subject by scientific men of America—MOßSE, HENRY, BACHE, and MAnnY. The telegraphic plateau was discovered in 1853 by the United States ship Dolphin, and the Atlantic was sounded three years afterwards from Newfoundland to Ireland by the United States ship Arctic. In the summer of 1856 CYRUS W. FIELD proceeded to London, where the possibility of the enterprise began to be BRETT, Sir CHARLES BRIGHT, and Dr. WIIITEHOUSE, entertained. In connection with Mr. JOHN W. the Atlantic Telegraph Company was organised. Capital w.s enlisted, and the British Government commenced that generous course which it continued to the end, completing the soundings across the Atlantic, assisting in laying the cable, and offering an annual subsidy for the transmission of messages. Then followed the joint expeditions of 1857 and ISSB, in which the Niagara and Susquehanna took part with the Agamemnon, the Leopard, the Gorgon, and the Valorous; the officers of both navies working for the same end with a generous rivalry. The capital, except one quarter taken by CYRUS FIELD, was subscribed in Great Britain. ' Although the directors were English merchants and bankers, there was one American—whose name is honoured in both countries for his princely benefac tions to each—who, we need scarcely say, was Mr. GEORGE PEABODY. We all know the result. For one short month Messages were transmitted to and fro, feebly, and in broken sentences, but the enthu siasm the success excited, outlasted the cable. It went out as a spark in the mighty waters, and left its promoters in blank dismay. For eight long years after Mr. CYRUS FIELD had to bear that kiud of odium which attaches to a visionary whose wild scheme has caused a heavy loss and vast labour uselessly and unprofitably thrown away. After the failure of 1858 came the darkest days. An untried scheme can excite hope and enlist a hearty support, but it is hard to galvanise into life a thing which has been tried and failed disastrously ; the freshness and novelty are gone, and the feeling of disappoint ment checks further effort. Nor did Mr. FIELD'S discouragement stop here. The great political questions which had been agitating the Union burst into the fury of an unparalleled civil war, and in con sequence he was thrown wholly on a foreign country to secure the means for accomplishing the enter prise which nothing but the faith which removes mountains could haVe prevented from sinking with the dead cable into the oblivion of the waters of the Atlantic. It is fortunate for the success of great enterprises that there are always men in high places whose instinct guides them aright in spite of the fashion and feeling; of the hour. The directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company were no ordinary body; and in this day of just and universal con demnation of those who have guided joint-stock enterprises it is a cheery thing to be able to record , the action of these gentlemen. The Chairman, the Right Hon. JOHN STUART WORTLEY, took up the cause when its future looked darkest; and the Deputy Chairman, Sir CURTIS LAMPSON, gave his steady support, and earned for himself and his descendants the title of a baronet. But dark though the days were, the inherent soundness of the cause was working out i s regeneration. The British Govern mmeennt nnd appointed a o practicalinvestigate the whole subject. For tw o y ears this commission nieoese c sat, and the result w as a clear conviction in every mind that it w as p ossible to lay a tele graph'e Atlantic. Science, too, and ex- a cross th per i en ce were crnn of to eminent scientific men a ll this while being applied to mo ters began to prepare for a fr esh attempt. In practice. Yet it w as not till 1863 that the p ro- I spite of the War then raging, CYRUS FIELD went from city to city in his endeavour to enlist in his cau se the sympathy and interest of his countrymen. Th ietisey; he sympathy i l d i obtained—but4they gave tiou eaan canvas, in vain e bea l i e ful w resolutions, appointing for a more substantial support. • "i n one of these a a n c d o i p n a n s i e t itlee someef , solid ut n "not get a solitary subscriber !"

When almost all deemed it a hopeless scheme; one New Yorker came forward and purchased stock to the amount of $lOO,OOO, and Mr. LORING ANDREWS had the pleasure of listening to the talc told that evening by CYRUS FIELD, and receiving the reward his generous faith had met, in the success of the enterprise. It was clear to Mr. FIELD that the position of America rendered it hopeless there to obtain the necessary support ; so he returned to England to find almost equal discouragement. Six hundred thousand pounds were required ; and his utmost efforts had been insufficient to I raise half that sum.

His story here tells like a romance in eS --- ** Asiatics so delight. H e was i n the &Bert' d S t thirsting for the spring. Before him lay his scheme —practical, he felt sure ; a mine of wealth to those who would heartily engage in the undertaking, and a boon to mankind. But where was the good genius through whose magic power he could be guided into the way of fulfilling his destiny ? It was at this juncture that he was introduced to Mr. THOMAS BI:ASSEY. "I went to see him," said Mr, FIELD, " though with fear and trembling. He re " ceived me kindly, but put me through such an ex " arnination that I bad never had before. I thought " I w.:s in the witness box. He asked every pos " sit& question, but my answers satieflA him, and he ended by saying —‘ It wai an enterprise which " ' ought to be carried our, and that he would be " ' one of ten men to furnish the money to do it.' " Encouraged by this noble offer, Cvatrs W. FIELD Sue cee,led in enlisting in the cause Mr. JouN VENDER, of Alanclie.Aer, who undertook to bear an equal share with slr. BrtassEr. The action of these two gentlemen was a turning point in the history of the undertaking, for it drew to wards it men of great wealth, such as Mr. GEORGE ELLIOT, Mr. BARCLAY, and Mr. BEWLEY. The result was the formation of the " Tele graph Construction and Maintenance Company." Sir RICHARD GLASS was made managing director, and he was admirably seconded by the secretary, Mr. StitrrEn. The Great Eastern was purchased, and with the Great Eastern came that able officer, Captain Sir JAMES ANDERSON. Thus organised the cable was prepared with infinite care by Mr. CHATTERTON and Mr. WILLOUGHBY SMITH, and, as fast as ready, taken on board the vessel and coiled in three enormous tanks. On the 15th July, 1865, the ship started on her memorable voyage, to end in a disappointment sufficient to break the heart of a man with less faith than that of CYRUS W. FIELD. For a week all went well. Twelve hundred miles of cable had been paid out, and but six hundred re mained, when, hauling in to remedy a fault, it parted—anddisappeared in the depths of the Atlan tic. For days and nights the bottom of the ocean was dragged, and though the lost treasure was three times grappled, every effort failed to bring it to the surface. Again Mr. CYRUS FIELD returned to England defeated—yet full of hope and resolution, for thoseon whose supp3rt he relied knew that an accident only had stood between them and success. Measures were at once taken to make a second cable, and to fit out a new expedition, and soothed by that knowledge he returned to his family in America. But Mr. FIELD was destined to endure another great disappointment before the full sunshine of success burst on the enterprise. The Attorney-General of England had given his written opinion that, without a special Act of Parliament, the company could not raise new capital by the issue •of 12 per cent. shares. The works were stopped, and the money received from subscribers returned. Again Mr. BRASSEY stood in the gap, declaring that, if required, he would put down £60,000 more. But it was necessary to organise a new company. Ten gentlemen met in London and placed on the table £lO,OOO a-piece, and thus arose the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. Tho bonds were opened to the public through the eminent American banking-house of Messrs. MOR GAN and Co., and in fourteen days the whole £600,000 had been raised. It was the 2d day of March when the Company was registered. Yet such was the vigour and despatch, so great the knowledge gained by the long spell of bitter expe rience, that in five months from that day the cable had been manufactured, coiled in the Great Eastern, stretched across the Atlantic, and was sending messages, literally swift as lightning, from continent to continent. " This was not a lucky hit," said the teller of this story, " a fine run across the ocean in " calm weather. It was the worst weather I ever " knew at that season of the year. We had fogs " and storms almost the whole way. Our success " was the result of the highest science, combined " with practical experience, everything being per " fectly organised to the minutest detail." In dee 1, nature had done her worst—and man had triumphed. But the work was not over. The new c ible had been stretched, still the old one re mained to be recovered. We regret our spice is not sufficient to tell the story of this wonderful achievemeut, which excited even more surprise than the successful laying of the cable. CYRUS FIELD aided in the task, and saw in its success the bright reward of years, of anxiety, and toil. It is thus that he sums up when standing as the honoured guest of scores of the most cele brated of his fellow-citizens —" It has been," he said, "a long, hard struggle—nearly,l3 years of anxious watching and ceaseless toil. Often my heart has been ready to sink. Many times, when wandering in the forests of Newfoundland, in the pelting rain, or on the deck of ships on stormy nights, alone, far from home, I have almost accused myself of mad ness and fop)* to sacrifice the peace of my family and all the hopes of life, for what might prove, after all, bat a dream. I have seen my companions, one and another, falling by my side, and feared that I, too, might not live to see the end. And yet one hope has led me on, and I have prayed that I might not taste of death till this great work was accomplished. That prayer is answered, and now, beyond all acknow ledgments to men, is the feeling of gratitude to ALMIGHTY GOD. Of the results of this enterprise, I commercially and politically, it is for others to speak ; to one effect only do I refer as the wish of I my heart, that, as it brings us into closer relations with England, it may produce a better understand speak against England, words of ing between the two countries. Let thosewhomwiusltl censure E ng lishmen to joinin this of their bread and enterprise words of cheer, which I sha ll language. I have eaten too em m e t f t r c o h m kindness other from than mine. I have received th re is eei them in the darkest hours never forget. If any drank of their cup, and I have lN , ords of mine can tend to peace and goodwill they shall not be wanting. I beg my countrymen to re tnernh,r the ties of kindred. Blood is thicker than water. America, with all her greatness, has come out of the loins of England, arid though there have been sometimes family quarrels—bitter, as family quarrels are apt to be—still, in our hearts there is a yearning for the old home, the land of our fathers ; and he is an enemy of his country and of the human race who would stir up strife between two countries which are one in language, in race, and in religion." Through this tale of intere,t there runs a vein of a most generous appreciation of the labours of others. Above all, comes that heartfelt sentiment of attach ment to the old mother country, which in the far hereafter will be productive of great good. Cables may cross and recros each other in the still depths of the Atlantic; devices may be discovered by which messages can be sent more speedily through this or other agencies ; the wire of to-day may bear to that of a century hence the proportion of the galley which carried Columbus, to an ocean steampacket of this day ; yet the name of CYRUS W. FIELD will remain, and the story of his success be told with pride in thousands of American homes. . We hail then with pleasure the fact that associated wit this story will be a warm and hearty sympathy fur England, and a just appreciation of the motives and objects which influence her people.

MURDER AND SUICIDE. —Jane 111 4 Carthy, who murdered her dau3hter Hannah last Tuesday afternoon in Shoreditch, and then cut her own throat in four places, died on Friday from the wounds she inflicted on herself. Her recovery was. regarded as hopeless froth the first. There is no doubt that she was insane. She had been de lirious during a greater portion of Tuesday morning, as well as on Monday cv,!ning. She was an industrious woman, and her health broke down from overwork, while endeavouring to support her four children, of whom the girl Hannah was the youngest.. The disgrace brought on her family by the imprisonment of her husband for theft ap [ pears to have been the cause of her insanity.
