MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Kent, a young man, describing himself as a tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with having a gold Albert chain; &c., in his posses ion, and not giving a sa'isfactory account of how he came poFsesed of the same. William Tooley, a de'ective of the C division, said that meeting the irisoner yes terday afternoon in Wardour-street, and noticing that he was wearing a gold Albert chain with a num ber of charms attached to it, he a , ked him where he _got the articles from, and he said that his mother had given them to him that morning. iNot being satisfied with the prisoner's story he took him to the station, and then went to his mother, who said she knew nothing about the property. I'risDner now said he picked the chain up near St. James's Church duce we,ks ago. The chain, with five lockets (one of them containing a portrait and hair and another being in the form of a slipper), a gold pencil cave, and also a railway key found on the prisoner, were produced. The prisoner was remanded. THE NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. Bell'sLifc says :—" The Newmarket Craven programme, as before remarked, is not a promising one, but there is such a host of horses in training at headquarters that more tempting cards may be tried each day than many imagine. In the Craven Stakes, if the grand Rosicrucian should be opposed by either of Joseph Dawson's three year olds, a contest worthy of the pahniest days of the stoke might be witnessed. So highly, in fact, do we think of Rosicrucian, and so greatly has lie improved since last year, that he must have our entire allegiance. As to the valurble Bently Plate the best of General Peel's lot should as nearly as possible win this race. Our own fancy is that Lady Masham will represent the stable, and she, Bosworth, and Atlas ought to defeat all comer.. For the Biennial, which has generally such an effect on the Derby betting, should Astolfo (or Captivator) meet Alexander in the Three Year Old Biennial, wagerinc , between them is likely to be very heavy; and as the race is famous for producing "turns up," it may be taken for granted that these so-styled cracks will not be unopposed. Judging from what reaches us, the main struggle will be between Astolfo and Alexander, and the first-named will very likely be the winner. Mahonia, who once had the honour of lowering the colours of Kiugcraft, is almost certain to win the 100 sovs. Sweepstakes on the Ditch Mile; and unless Major Fridolin has something pretty good, Etruscan will carry off the Sale Stakes. With reference to the Newmarket Handicap, the betting is somewhat swamped by the fact that Sabinus will con test the race. His weight (6st. 131 b.) is, however, no trifle to carry to the front up the hill that has so often before proved fatal to favourites, and, like many a good horse before him, the " crack " may have to go down be fore something at present held in light esteem. It is not at all likely, however, that such will be the case, and the horses that have any chance of upsetting the good thing may be counted on the fingers of one hand. Should however, Falkland not run, nothing seems likely to jeopardise the prospects of the favourite beyond Wildbad and Barford, the recently-named Blue Bell colt The latter ran well up to a certain point in the City and Suburban, and will have benefited by the time that has elapsed since that race was run. Thursday's and Friday's cards are best left alone until the middle of the week. There can , however, be no harm in suggesting that Midsummer will very likely win the Four Year Old Biennial, as Pero Gomez has been slightly amiss of late, and has, moreover to concede Midsummer_ 71b, a feat that he may not be able to accomplish over the long Ditch In course. " Vigilant " and " Wizard." in the Sportsman, say— Captivator being under suspicion, the Beckh: 'ton stable will be represented by Astolfo, • • • - ay be opposed by the new Two Thousand Gui , as favourite, Alexander. At one time as ranch as 150 to 100 was laid against Astolfo, but the layer soon found out his mistake, and would gladly have scratched the bet. There was, however, an offer to take 400 to 100 that neither Astolfo nor Alexander wins, and give a start with both, the fielder evidently relying on Noble man and Pandore, both of whom are mentioned as cer tain starters. I think that the race will be won by Astolfo. In the Newmarket Handicap the Blue Bell colt looks Sabinus' most dangerous opponent, and he has been backed for some money at 6 to 1 and 100 to 15, as have also the much improved Wildbad, who ran well over this course last autumn, and Falkland, who is said to have not done very well since his return from Northampton. Without going further through the handicap, I may state that the Blue Bell colt is the only animal from whom Sabinus need fear any danger. On Monday I shall anticipate the success of Rosicrucian in the Craven Stakes, as King o' Scots, who otherwise would be my selection, may not run. In the Brethy Plate I shall look for the success of Mahonia and Enfield, both , of whom are wonderfully yvel treated. The entries for the other races to be decided on Monday will not be made until the night before running. " Augur," in the Sporting Life, states the five days' sport are sure to produce some effect upon the prospects of the Two Thousand and Derby, as the running has invariably done in former years. Several of the old-fashioned stakes in the programme promise to be signal failures ; but, nevertheless, the week's sport will be specially interesting, although the presence of Sabinus in the Newmarket Handicap spoils that race, and m a k es it l oo k lik e a d ea d mora l f or the renowned gelding. It is a somewhat remarkable co incidence in connection with this three-year-old Biennial that though it has never been won by an animal who afterwards proved victorious in the Derby, two horses who were second in each instance—Caractacus and Blue Gown —subsequently carried off the " blue riband." Excepting the Newmarket Biennial and the Newmarket Handicap, there is really very little in the Craven programme, what once appeared to be a sensational match, that be tween Blue Gown and See-Saw, for 300 sovs a-side, threatening to fall through altogether, if we can judge from the contemptible figure cut by the Cambridgeshire winner at the late Croxton Park Meeting. There are six events appointed for Monday, but only a couple have closed at the present time of writing. The Craven Stakes has 13 engaged, but this number may be increased by post entrances, which are permitted up to the preceding evening. King o' Scots and Rosicrucian are among the entries, but they will carry 151 b extra as a penalty for ex emption from sale. Their opponents number among them Wildbad, Queen of Hearts, Kennington, and Strathnairn, who have no extras. The field will drop away materia.ly at the post, and I shall mpect the success of Rosicrucian or Kennington. The Bretby Plate Handicap, over the Bretby Stakes Course (6 fur.) has no fewer than forty-six animals nominated, and promises to bring together a numerous field, the distance being an extremely popular one. Bosworth, with his 51b extra for winning the Spencer Plate, has but 7st 91b to carry, and this should not prevent his success, though he will have most to fear from Lopez and St. George. Seven races are appointed for Tuesday, two of which are unclosed. Two or three of the old-fashioned stakes have obtained such meagre entries, and are so one-sided, that they are almost sure to fall through. The Twelfth Biennial, run over the Rowley Mile (1 mile 17 yards), is the great attraction of Tuesday, as, indeed, it is of the week, though, singularly enough, except ing the stable-companions Captivator and Astolfo, it contains the names of none of the conspicuous Two Thou sand or Derby cracks. Ido not think there is any crack among the non-public performers, and in assigning the two most prominent places to Astolfo and Nobleman, the judge's decision may be thus anticipated. There are six subscribers for the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each over the Ditch Mile (5 fur. 210 yds.), and Mahonia will doubtless be found much the superior of the remainder. The Twelfth Sale Stakes, for three year olds, has five very bad ones en gaged, of whom My Honey may be found the best. The Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, over the Ditch Mile, is a match between Newsman and Green Riband, and of the pair I prefer Green Riband. Neither Thorwater nor the filly by Blair Athol out of Rupee, the only two left in the Riddlesworth Stake; over the Ditch Mile, have run, but if Thorwater can race as an animal so highly bred should, Mr. Cartwright's daughter of Fairwater will vanquish Lord Stamford's representative. Out of the seven races appointed for Wednesday, four remain open until the preceding evening. The Newmaarket Handicap, over the last mile and a half of the Beacon Course, originally obtained sixty-nine subscribers, of whom the extraordi narily small number of nineteen paid forfeit. The field will, however, dwindle down, as numbers of the horses engaged are hips de combat, and Sabinus will frighten many away. With his 141 b. extra, the famous gelding has but Est. 131 b. to carry, which will not prevent his success. Wildbad(4yrs. , 75t.101b.), Falkland, 3yrs, 6st. 61b.), and Barford, the newly-named colt by Thormanby out of Blue Bell (3 yrs., Est. 101 b.), are the pick of the handicap. Falkland. will be meeting Sabinus on 61b. better terms than in the Metropolitan, and Lord Zetland's horse will be so much better in condition that he will make a respectable fight over this distance. Wildbad is strongly fancied at Newmarket, and the Baron's stable is in decided form. I look forward to seeing the two public performers, Sabinus and Falkland, finish first and second, in the order in which their names are written. The Column Stakes, for three year olds, over the Rowley Mile, may be won by Roderick Dhu or Carfax, and the Sweepstake of 50 sovs each by Squib. Thursday's races and the remaining events of the Easter week must be left for treatment on Wednesday, when I shall furnish from the Heath all facts and incidents bearing in any shape upon the future. " Harkaway," in Land and Water anticipates a victory for Sabinus in the Newmarket Handicap ' • lolt is silent with regard to oth er even t s a t th e Craven Meeting. The Field says with regard to the Biennial, the only horses, however, with winning chances are Astolfo, Alex ander, Captivator, and Nobleman ; and if Alexander has any Two Thousand pretensions, either he or Astolfo should secure thi s Biennial. The Sale Stakes (across the flat) will probably be won by Etruscan ; the Sweep stakes of 100 sovereigns each (Ditch Mile) by Mahoma and the Sweepstakes of 50 sovereigns each (Ditch Mile) by Newsman. Had Sabinus not been in the race, a goodly field of horses would have assembled at the post; but his presence may prevent several owners from sending representatives to compete for the stake. As the weights now stand the best of the horses left in are Arlington, 7st. 121 b.; Wildbad, 7st. 101 b.; Sylva, 6st. 121 b.; Captivator, Est. 111 b. ; Barford (the colt by Thormanbv out of Blue, Bell), Est. 101 b. ; falkland, Est. 61b. • Thin. skin, fist. 131 b. ; and Sabinus, fist. 131 b. (i nc l u din g 141 b. extra). The Column Stakes (Rowley Mile), once a race of importance, will this year be a failure, unless John Scott sends his dark Derby colt, Goldsborough, to run for it. At present, however, Carfax reads most like • the winning name, as does Wave in the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each (5 furlongs 140 yards). On Thursday, in the Eleventh Newmarket Biennial Stakes (Ditch in), Pero Gomez, if thoroughly fit, could not, despite his 71b. penalty, be defeated; but, owing to the St. Leger winner having recently been amiss, Midsummer may be found the most trustworthy candidate. For the Claret Stakes (Ditch in) Pero Gomez may be permitted to walk over ; and the brace of sweepstakes, run for on the Ditch mile may be credited to Nobleman and Goldsborough. I n t h e match over the Cambridgeshire course, Blue Gown ought to have little difficulty in beating S ee -S aw, i f the latter's running at Croxton Park was correct. A correspondent of the Bpectator suggests that if Earl Russell's plan of religious education be carried out, and a chapter of the Bible be read without comment, t should be given in the original Hebrew or Greek. The ehilden would 'derive quite as much benefit from the pro cess. and the sense of awe and mystery would be increased.

Account, May 4 94 i EASTER ENTERTAINMENTS, VAUDEVILLE, The new thea're in the Strand, the Vaudeville, opened on Saturday evening. The thea!re is said to be capable of seating 1,000 persons; there seems to be no seat from which the whole of the stage cannot be seen, and the construction of the building is certainly favourable for conveying sound. The de corations are of the Romanesque character, the colours are brighter than in some other theatres, and the effect of the whole lighted by a powerful sun burner in the centre of the roof is very pretty and striking. The entertainments consisted of a new three act comedy by Mr. Halliday; a new burlesque by Mr. C. Edwardes ; and a new farce by Mr. hay, which latter, however, was omitted by reason of the lateness of the hour at which the burlesque was brought to a close. " For Love or Money" is a domestic drama, showing the married life of two daughters of a certain Major Buncombe—the one the wife of a supposed millionaire on the Stock Ex change, the other that of a clerk with three hundred a year. The affectionate father-in-lawpatronizes the rich couple and merely tolerates the less affluent couple; but, as the result shows, the clerk i the better man of the two, as he is taken into parinership by the firm in whose service he is, and the millionaire falls into the hands of bailiffs on the breaking up of all his commercial bubbles. Mr. Montague sustained the part of the clerk, George Anderson, with excel lent effect, and Miss Amy Fawcett, as his industrious little wife, acted the part to admiration. Mr. G. Honey as Major Buncombe was specially commend able. The drama was a decided hit. The grand burlesque followed, and introduced the other mem bers of the company ; it was of the usual description, but it gave universal satisfaction. The opening night was a complete and decided success, and doubtless the Vaudeville will be one of the favourite theatres of the metropolis. OLYMPIC. The " authorised version" of M. sirs. Ilal6vy's and Meilhac's "Frou- Frou," by Mr. Sutherland Edwards, was produced at this theatre on Saturday night. The plot of this now famous French piece has already beEn explained in these columns. Miss Plessy Mor daunt, as Frou-Frou, lacks the physical qualifica tions for the part. Louise was played by Miss Mattie Reinhardt with grace and effecP. The part of the husband, De Sartorys, was enacted by Mr. John Nelson ; Mr. Charles Warner undertook the lover, Count de Valreas ; and Mr. Fisher, M. Brigard. The piece was well mounted, but it is questionable whether it will prove a remunerative success. GALE 2Y. The long-prom'sed opera bouffe, " The Princes 3 of Trebizonde," by M. Offenbach, was produced at this theatre on Saturday evening with great success. The opera bouffe was as smooth from the beginning to the end as though it had been three months before the public. Its music is excellent and in its composer's best vein. Mr. J. L. Toole sustains the part of CabriolQ with his usual comic force. Miss Losby sings with great taste and ability throughout her arduous part of Prince Raphael; and Miss Farren, as Regina, s;ngs and acts with frcslm;s3. The house was very full on Saturd ►y *evening, and the composer, M. Offenbach, was present in the stalls. The opera bouffe was preced2d by a comic operetta entltled " The Happy Village," and the little drama of " The Lucky Friday," in which Mr. Alfred Wigan sustained the tart of the old and superstitious Frenchman, Paul Rambaut. SURREY. " Clam" was the title of the piece performed at this theatre on Easter Eve. Clam née Jose ! hine Weatherwell is the daughter of a sea captain, who, having had a difference with his wife, deserts her and her two daughters, and goes off o❑ the long voyage. The wife shortly afterwards dies of a broken he.irr, and leaves Clam and her sister Nelly " to the waves of the world." The piece is similar to the celebrated drama " The Streets of London," and it gave the greatest satisfaction to a very crowded audience. GLOBE. The familiar French melo-drama " Robert Macaire" treated a la burlesque, is the special Easter attraction at this theatre; and with such a subject it is not surprising that so practised a burlesque writer as Mr. H. J. Byron should have adapted the original play, with the wildest drollery. Robert Macaire, the law and prison breaker, personated by Miss Fanny Josephs, becomes a most fascinating robber, in red pegtop inexpressibles and a tight-fitting purple silk coat, and Mr. J. Clarke's Jacques Strop, the ner vous companion of Robert, is a thief of the 'White chapel stamp, whose looks alone would make him a frequent victim of the Habitual Criminals Act. There is the festival in celebration of the marriage of the innkeeper's adopted son, at Which Macaire charms and robs the lady guests, and there is the night scene at the inn where the bride's father is eased of his portable wealth, but Ger meuil, more fortunate in extravaganza than melo drama, escapes assassination—a fear of damp sheets having kept him from bed—and Robert is not shot, because the gendarmes have a dread of the conse quence to themselves of firing guns which have been supplied by contract. There is a plentiful supply of songs, set to some of the prettiest of ill) popular airs, and a sufficiency of rollicking fun to secure its success. The burlesque is preceded by Mr. Craven's. comic drama, " Milky 'White," in which the author plays the. principal 'part, and is ably supported by Mr. Sinclair as Dick Daggs, Mr. P. Day as Archi bald Good, Mrs. Stephens as Mrs. Saddrip, and Miss Fanny Josephs (lessee and manager) as Annie White. STANDARD. Mr. John Douglass provides his patrons, by way of an Easter novelty, with a new opera bouffe on the subject of Guy Fawkes. Mr. Douglass has made the hapless conspirator present a " new way to blow up a king." There are three acts. The best part of the burlesque is its scenery. The banks of the Thames, with which the first act opens, are very prettily pic tured. Several old London streets are also cleverly represented. The conspirators, Percy, Catesby, and Winter, are severally Miss Leng, Mrs. J. F. Brian, and Miss B. Stanley ; while the part of Walter Tresham is taken by Miss J. Mathews, who gained considerable popularity here as the Grand Duchess. Guido, the comic man par excellence, found embodi ment in Mr. J. W.Wallace, whose•nose was a perfect marvel of art. Its literary merits were swallowed by a crowded pit and gallery, its songs and fun were received with applause, and the principal actors and the author (Mr. J. T. Douglass) had to undergo the necessary ordeal of the footlights when the ourtain fell. To-night Mr.Toole commences an engagement ith " Uncle Dick's Darling." CHELSEA. The new Chelsea Theatre, opened on Saturday night List, has very little to boast of as regards ex terior or interior. The opening performances were not so satisfactory as could be desired. We there fore defer our notice till a future occasion. THE FRENCH FUNDS. According to Reuter's telegrams the French Mutes to-day were quoted 73f. 77c. WESTMINSTER. A poor blind man besought the magistrate's advice under the following circumstances : --Applicant said he had for some years been a member of the Sick and Burial Society of St. Patrick, and had paid up all his subscriptions. A child of his died a few days ago, by which he was entitled to a specified amount. He applied for it in the usual way, when the society's officer stopped £l. No reason was assigned for the stoppage. The magistrate told the applicant he had no power, as the rules of the society set out that all disputes were to be settled by arbitration. THAMES. Diary Ann Brown, aged 12 years, and Sophia Brown, 43, her mother, wife of a mechanic, were charged, the former with stealing, and the other with feloniously receiving, knowing to be stolen, a large quantity of property belonging to Messrs Longue haye and Co., of No. 3 and No. 5, Bedford-place, Commercial-road, East. John Cook, a detective of the K division, went to the dwelling of Mrs. Brown, No. 66, Sidney-street, Stepney, and found a roll of chintz. He also discovered in the house and seized four sauce pans, a fire shovel, a coal scuttle, a set of fire irons, a large pewter goblet, and a great variety of other articles, all new. The girl was id the practice of visiting shops and stealing anything she could lay her hands on, and her mother encou raged her and received the property. The prisoners were remanded. FIRES THIS MORNING. + No less than 16 fires took place in the metropo litan district from six o'clock on Saturday morning up to six o'clock this (Monday) morning. A dis tressing accident by fire took place in the premises of Mr. F. Cader, No. 3, Dorset-street, Spitalfields, by which Mrs. Rachel von Cader, aged 35, was terribly burned. She was removed to the hospi`al, but no hopes are entertained of her recovery. A fire likewise took place in the premises of Mr. Fletcher, a dairy- . man, in Fitzroy -yard, Primrose Hill, which de stroyed the provender, stores, burned the roofs, and severely damaged the stable. The fire was caused by a spark falling from a lighted candle. THE 11101thAUNT DIVORCE CASE. In reference to thegreat case of "Mordaunt v. Mordaunt, Cole, and Johnston e ," p u bli c i n t erest seems likely to be `baulked for the p resen t. It w ill b e remembered that an ord:r to stay proceedings was made by Lord Penzance by consent of parties, with the view of trying the question whether insanity should be a bar to a petition for divorce and it was expected that the appeal from this order, entered on behalf of the p e titi oner , wou ld b e argue d before the full court in the course of the next sittings. There are, however, no appeal causes set down for hear ing in the new list, and it appears that within the last few days notice to prolong the term of summons has been filed on the part of the respondent, which has thrown the case over to the Easter Sessions of the Court. RAILWAY ROLLING STOCK. At the institution of Civil Eng,ineers, Mr. R. Price Williams read a paper on " The Maintenance and Re newal of Railway Stock." The author began by stating that the experience now possessed, extending. over nearly forty years, enabled the average life of each individual part of a locomotive and of other rolling stock to be accu rately ascertained. Tables were submitted, based on data furnished by several engineers, showing in minute detail the average lives and the net cost of the several parts of an engine and tender of recent construction, and therm" by calculation the mean money lif e o f th e whole structure was determined. It was shewn that the lives of the different parts of the engine varied considerably, from the break-blocks and other small items which required to be renewed every six months, to the side frames, plain axles, and other parts, which lasted thirty years. The first series of extensive renewals, which occurred at intervals of five years, consisted chiefly of the replacement of the brass tubes, and amounted during the period of longest life, or thirty years, to £973. The renewals of the crank axles followed in periods of hix years, and cost, during the whole thirty years, £256. The great bulk of the renewals, however, took place at intervals of seven and ten 3Tears, and included the engine tyres, boiler, fire box, and o th er costly portions, amounting altogether to £2,119 during the same period. The whole net cost of the renewals in thirty years amounted to £4,890, equiva lent to an average cost of £163 per annum. The total net cost being £1,788, it followed that the mean money life of an engine and tender of this type was 10.97 years, or practically eleven years. If the number of miles run were taken as the measure in life, and if 20,000 miles, per annum were assumed to be a fair average performance in steam, it followed that when an engine had run 220,000 miles, an amount would have been spent upon it in repairs equal to its first cost. A HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES. One of the most tremendous hurricanes that has ever devastated the West, Indies since 1783, was that of August, 1831. On the night before, at Barbadoes, the sea and air seemed restless and troubled, there were many signs of unsettled weather and an impending gale; but still nothing unusual was anticipated. The wind kept gusty and fitful, and about ten p.m., there w as a shower of rain which was s ucceeded by a treacherous calm. After this a dense mass of black cloud gathered over the horizon, and hung there in deep gloom. Abou t midnight a severe squall burst forth from this darkness, and fierce and sweeping rain followed, the wind blowing hard from the north-east, and every moment increasing in violence. Louder and louder it grew, till by three o'clock it had increased to a hurricane that ra g ed over thewhole island till five o'clock, the lightning every few minutes cleaving the darkness with keen blades of blue flame. Wherever the hurricane spread the houses were levelled to the earth, or the roofs blown off. The largest trees were torn up from their roots, or w ere snapped in two like reeds. Many person s were buri▪ ed under the ruins of the houses and huts, and the s urvivors cast forth to the storm and rain, at the same time bei▪ ng exposed to instant death from the ceaseless and dangerous drift of scattered boughs and timbers. The wind blew alternately from every poi n t o f the compasss After veering to east it went back to north west, shifted fiercely to east, veered to south-east, and about six o'clock in the morning broke from the south west with tenfold fury, accompanied by a perfect deluge of rain. This continued for two hours, and during all this time the houseless suff ered both bodily and mental torture. In many cases delicat e women, risen from a sick bed, and half naked, had to re ma i n in the open fields, separated from their husbands and childr en . Many infants, too, lost by their mothers,were left exposed to the storm. Everywhere was desolation, mourning, and woe. Those churches that were left were converted into hospital depots for the wounded ; the dead were piled in h ea ps till graves could be du g . Ab ou t s i x thousand persons altogether perished a t B ar b a d oes in this storm. This storm only touched a part of St. Lucia ; after a few hours the wind th ere wen t ent i re l y ' d own , and the evening was beautiful and ca l m . A t St. Vincent's every building was blown over and the town destroyed. At Granada n i ne t een sa il o f l oaded Dutch ships were stranded an d b ea t en to p i eces. Four ships foundered off Ma r ti n iq ue . I n t h e town of St.' Pierre more than a thousand persons perished. At Fort Royal, the cathedral, seven churcdes, and fourteen hundred houses were blown down, and the hospital of Notre Dame, in which were sixteen hundred sick and wounded, fell and crushed the greater part of the i nma tes. Altogether, about nine thousand perso n s perished in Martinique alone.—Tortola, too, suffered severaiy. The whole town of Rood Harbour was demo lished, two-thirds of the sugar-houses, and all the negro huts were destroyed, and 100 persons perished. —Ail the Year .Round. fiAttWAY TAXATIO*.—The Railway News sktes that the alteration of the payment made by railway com panies of 5 per cent. on passenger traffic receipts to a duty of 1 per cent. on gross receipts from all sources will a ff e ct the dividends on the various ordinary stocks to the following extent : The South-Eastern, London and Brighton, and Metropolitan companies benefit, as might be expected, the most.

TELEGRAPHS FOR CHINA.--The Danish frigate Tordenskjold with the floe steamers Cella and Great Northern have arrived in the Thames to receive some 2,300 miles of Hooper's telegraph cables for the China seas. The first section of these lines measures 1,200 miles, and will extend from Posetta to Shanghai, and the remaining 1,100 miles will be laid between Shanghai and Hong Kong. The Tordenskjold carries out the shores' end and part of the cable, and the other two vessels are intended to convey the remainder of the line to China and leave England next month. The cables consist of a copper conductor, a strand of wires, covered with layers of pure India-rubber, over which is placed the " separater" and a coating of patent material, which has been found to effec tually resist the a sof e greatest enemy a submarine has, the terado.
