The object of the Company is to establish and work a direct line of Telegraph between the Continent of Europe and the United States of America, in accordance with the concession granted by the Imperial French Government to Baron Emile d'Erlanger, of. Paris, and Mr. Julius Reuter, of London. This concession bears date 6th July, 1868, and confers the privilege of laying and working Submarine Telegraphs between France and the United States. The French Go vernment binds itself not to grant any other concession for lines between France and North America during the period of twenty years from the Ist September, 1869. A concession granted by the State Legislature of New York, for landing and working cables between that State and France, has been secured. Arrangements have been made with the Submarine Telegraph Company for the exclusive use of one of their wires between England and Dieppe, from which place tho French Government will construct a special wire to Brest direct for the Company. By this means, the valuable co operation of the Submarine Telegraph Company has been secured, and an uninterrupted route from England to the United States will be established. _ The French Government has promised its support and assistance to the undertaking, and an honorary committee of the highest position has been formed in Paris. It has been generally acknowledged that, both for poli tical and commercial reasons, the laying of a direct and independent cable from the Continent of Europe to the United States was only a question of time, and consider ing the extraordinary increase of telegraphic messages wherever new facilities are afforded, it is to be expected that the new undertaking will create fresh traffic, inde pendent of that of the old companies, sufficient to insure earnings of equal if not greater amount. It will be the object of the new Company to fix such rates for messages as will secure the largest possible traffic. The price to be charged is intended to be £2 for a mes sage of 10 words, and it seems not too sanguine an expec tation that at this rate the line will find constant em ployment. The power of transmission of the new cable is estimated, abcording to the report of the engineers and electricians, at a minimum of twelve words per minute, which, allow ing 14 hours a-day for waste time, and consequently only ten hours a-day for actual work, and taking 300 working days in the year, gives, at the rate of £2 per message, an anuual income of £432,000. Practically, the proportion of days and hours lost would in all probability be less than is assumed in this estimate. The working expenses of the new lino may be calculated to amount at the utmost to £30,000 per annum. The proposed cable will bo laid in two sections—the first from Brest, in France, to the French island of St. Pierre, off Newfoundland; the second from St. Pierre either to New York direct or to a point between Boston and New York, with a special line to the last-named city. The length of the cable is as follows:- Ist section, from Brest to St. Pierre 2,325 miles. 2nd section, from St. Pi erre t o the U n i te d States, about 722 „ 3,047 miles. To this length an amply sufficient amount of slack will be added. A contract has been entered into with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company to manufacture and lay the cable for the sum of £920,000, of which 010,000 is payable in cash by agreed instalments during the manufacture and shipment of the cable. The remain ing £llO,OOO will be payable in the following manner, viz., £BO,OOO in fully paid-up Shares, after the section from Brost to St. Pierre shall have been laid and tested satis factorily for thirty successive days ; £lO,OOO in cash after the section from St. Pierre to the United States shall have been laid and tested for thirty days, and the final payment of £20,000 in fully paid-up Shares after the entire cable shall have been six months in satisfactory operation. Allowing £lOO,OOO for the construction of the land lines, engineers' charges, supervision, and all expenses np to the opening of the line, and deducting the consideration here after stated to be given for the concession upon success, there will remain a balance, by way of reserve, of £BO,OOO. The Great Eastern will bo employed in laying the deep sea portion. Sir Samuel Canning with a competent staff will ha Fe charge of the submersion of the cable. Sir James Anderson will act on behalf of, and watch over, the in terests of the Company. tne T l h in e e ca is bl e e x i p s e c e o te n d tr t a o bected open pe b n e shipped in June next, and for traffic in the course of next year. The cable will be of tho best construction, and generally of the'same description as those manufactured by the Tele graph Construction Company for the Atlantic and Anglo- American Telegraph Companies. The cable will be pro tected by tar like the 1865 cable, and advantage has been taken of all the experience since gained. In accordance with the .unanimous recommendation of the engineers and electricians, the weight of copper in the conductor has been increased from 3001 b. to 4001 b. per knot. By this means greater rapidity of transmission is obtained. In tracing the route a detour has been made to avoid the risk of icebergs and anchorage on the banks of Newfound land. It is on these banks that all accidents to the exist ing cables have occurred. Sir James Anderson has recorded his opinion that the object thus sought for will be fully attained. The Concessionaires, by an agreement dated 3d August, 1868, and scheduled to the Articles of Association, have agreed to transfer to the Company their concession from the Imperial Government of France, together with all their rights under the concession from the State of New York, and the benefit of the undermentioned agreements, and to defray all expenses up to the registration of the Company in consideration of 5,000 fully paid Shares, to be allotted to them whenever tho Cable shall have been successfully laid, and shall have continued to work satis factorily for 30 days. They will also bo entitled to receive one-fifth part of the surplus net profits in each year, after setting aside a reserve fund, equal to 5 per cent. of the net profits, and after payment of a dividend of 10 pe r cen t . to the Shareholders.i These contingent profits will, for con venience, be attached to a portion of the fully paid shares. It will be seen from this that the Concessionaires look only to the success of the undertaking for their remuneration, and for the aepayment of the expenses they have already incurred.; Copies of the Agreements and of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and of the Concessions, lie for in spection at the Offices of the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs.

COPIES OF REPORTS OF SIR JAMES ANDERSON, SIR WILLIAM THOMSON, MESSRS. VARLEY , CLARKE, FORDE, AND JENKIN. London, 3d August, 1868. Baron Emile d'Erianger, Julius Reuter, Esq. Dear Sirs,—With reference to the route projected for the cable between Brest and America, I have recommended it for the following reasons : , By keeping in the 500 fathom line upon Milne bank and around the southern edge of the Grand bank thereis no possibility of ice, or of any other agency that clan be sug• gested, injuring the cable. The northern edge of the Grand bank was avoided, because it is uncertain at what depth tho icebergs ground. They are said, upon good authority, to ground at times in 90 fathoms. It is not certain at what depth the vessels employed in the seal trade may sometimes choose to drop an anchor for the purpose of keeping their station in the track of ice floes. These dangers are avoided by the track chosen for the proposed cable, and lam justified by my own experience in saying that the track from the southern edge of the Grand bank to St. Pierre, and thence to the place of land ing in America, is entirely free from any danger from ice, and does not cross any anchorage resorted to by the fleet of fishing vessels. The cable upon the Milne bank and from the Grand bank to St. Pierre, and thence to America (upwards of 1,200 miles), will be laid in water of such easy depth that repairs will be a matter of certainty ; and we are justified, from the soundings which already exiat, iu tinirmin that I am, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, JAMES ANDERSON. (Signed) London, 4th August, 1868. Gentlemen,—At your request we have much pleasure in handing you the present report on the cable recom mended by us to be laid from Brest to St. Pierre, and from St. Pierre to the coast of the United States. The deep sea cable adopted is almost exactly similar to that used in 1865 and 1866. The great merit of this form is its strength, both absolute and relative to the strains required while laying the cable. The actual strength of this hemp and steel cable is 7 tons, while the strain re quired for submersion need not exceed 14 cwt. Even if it should be necessary to haul back any portion already laid, the strain need not exceed 1-1 tons in the deepest water. The strength is, therefore, amply sufficient to meet all contingencies, with a margin quite as great as is allowed in any ordinary engineering construction or operation. We need hardly remind you of the experimental proof which has been given that this form of cable can, even if broken in the deepest water, be recov ere d b y d re d g ing, but wo take the oppprtunify of expressing our deliberate opinion that this success was not fortuitous, but that the experi ment might be repeated as often as required with a like result. The power of transmitti ng messag es through long submarine lines is no longer a matter of doubt, and the laws affecting their transmission ere well understood. We can promise with certainty that through your enlarged core you, will be able to send twelve words per minute, and by improved methods of signalling we expect to in crease this minimum considerably. The length of your cable, which will be in deep water, will be no greater than that of the existing cables, and it will rest on the same smooth and safe bottom. Tho shallow water section will be a heavy cable, protected against rust by a bituminous compound, as used for the Persian Gulf cable. The route avoids all considerable anchorages and all danger from icebergs, and should any interruption ever occur on this portion it can bo repaired with certainty and rapidity. In conclusion, the strength of your cable is such as to render its submersion a safe operation ; the route to be followed is eminently favourable, and a good commercial speed is certain to be obtained. You secure the advan tage of a direct communication, and the risks you run are not greater in any way than those already surmounted. We are, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants, WILLIAM THOMSON, HENRY C. FORDE, and C. F. VARLEY, FLEEMING JENKIN. LATIMER CLARKE, Messrs. Erlanger and Renter. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding Or en g i neer i ng establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded In the elementary prin ciples and practice thereof. The pupils will bo selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows Marks. Pure mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plain and descriptive), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus .. 2,500 Applied mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ... • 1,000 Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) '" ... 2,500 Practical marine engin eer i ng ( f or engineer candi dates only) 2,500 French ... „, 500 Elements of physic and chymisiry ••• 775 0 50 English grammar and composition ... ••• "' Geography and History ... 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached, to the School, in all respects as the .Admi ralty pupils ; they will recaive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the 5.:,h00l or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study at the School, and the nmaining five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi cal knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their. subsoquent career. The number of such pupils to bo selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights, The examination will take place on the 28th September and three following days.

THE MIDWAY ISLANDS.—The Secretary of the United States' Navy sent to the Senate on the 20th ult. a communication in reply to a resolution in relation to the discovery, occupation, and character of the Midway Is lands in the. Pacific Ocean. The islands, he says, were discovered by Captain N. 0. Brooks, commander of the Hawaiian bark Gambia, in July, 1859. In May, 1867, the Secretary of the Navy directed Capt. William Reynolds, commander of the steamer Lackawanna, to take possession, which lie did on the 13th of September last. Capt. Reynolds, in his report, described the harbour as formed very much like Honolulu, as rather more roomy and safe, but with not quite as much depth of water on its bar, which, how ever, appeared to be about 18 feet. Water was found oil the island at a distance of from four to seven feet. The soil will produce a good many . kinds of vegetables, and choice fish were found in the vicinity.

After some months' illness one who for many years h a s exercised no slight influence upon Eng lish politic 11 and literary life has passed away. On Mondayght Mr. John Dou g l as C oo k , the editor of the relay Review, died a t hi s c h am b ers in the .a - n ot i Albany. 'The immediate c ause o f M r. C ook ' s death was a eace of the liver which had troubled him for many ye. us. Towards the last it culminated in an attack of jaundice, which prostrated him so com pletely as to leave his friends no hope of his re covery. It; :may, however, be truly said of Mr. Cook that he , ((lied from want of rest. The habit of work was a. second nature with him. lie gave himself, it is true, a vacation every year, but w h en h e was away from his paper he was always craving: io get back to it. lie could never be induced to go abroad beyond the reach of letters or business cares, and he was apt to think that the time spent in taking exercise or recreation was time wasted—a mistake which has brought many a laborious man to his grave. He almost invariably passed his holiday in Cornwall, where he had esta blished his favourite home, and whither he had but recently removed his library. But Cornwall was not far enough away from London. His paper was the idol of-his life, and it was scarcely ever out of his thoughts. It happened this year that, for the first time, he was unable to meet his contri butors on the one day when they all met together, and the circumstance gave him great distress. In deed he had found himself unequal for months past to the close and unremitting attention which his duties demanded ; but he could never tear himself away beyond sight or sound of his journal. Even when his strength was gone his mind continued to wear itself upon it. It is common to talk of the " cynical" tone of our contemporary; with what justice it is not our business to discuss. But the chief editor was not a cynic —he hated false pretences and abuses of every kind, and was always delighted when either were efficiently and skilfully exposed. Among those who knew him there must be many who could testify to the innate kindness of his disposition, to the generous impulses which often prompted bis actions, to the quick perception which he had of talent in the young and unknown, and to the patience with which he waited for the fruit of that talent. He once said, " The only way to keep up a staff which time and change are always touching is to welcome young men, and never to despair of them because their first articles happen to be bad. Wait and see fairly what they really are ca- pable of doing." In this respect ho was a faultless editor. lie exacted a high stan dard of work, but he judged fairly of every man's productions. He soon found out in what direction a writer's talent lay, and turned it to the best advantage with wonderful skill. If he attacked many, there were very many more whom he was tempted to attack and spared, and his mind was singularly free from those prejudices which might possibly interfere with perfect freedom in the management of a paper. He scrupulously main tained the character of his paper for independence from narrow cliques, and frotn interests which those who labour for and in the name of the public must always disregard. The only fatal defect of a con tribution in his eyes was that it was not a work manlike production. Beginning his career as a journalist, like so _ • many other men who have since risen to distinc- tion, on the Parliamentary reporting staff of the Times, Mr. Cook had acquired a vast amount of practical experience in all kinds of newspaper work before he brought his matured powers to bear on the editorstiip of the Morning Chronicle, and subse quently of the Saturday Review. Only those who are familiar with the difficulties of journalism of the higher order can appreciate the tact, the brealth of vi~w, the personal and genial good-humour, and the business qualifications which enabled Mr. Cook to place the Review, which he created, in tha very front rank of English periodicals almost from the day of its first appearance. The immediate success of the Saturday Review was indeed at that time a thing without precedent. When, about twelve years and a half ago, its earliest numbers began to be talked about, no journal based upon the same plan was in existence. It was, as it has still re mained, a collection of political and literary articles and essays, supplemented with some six or eight reviews of books. Whether such a pub lication, unaided by the addition of news, and unspiced by the insertion of correspondence, could make its way beyond the narrow limits of the more cultivated class of readers, was a matter of considerable doubt. Nevertheless, the success of the Saturday Review, though gradual, was steady and substantial. Mr. Cook himself was in the habit of attributing its influence not so much to its general plan, as to the staff of able men whom he be had gathered around him as editor of the Morn ing Chronicle, and who were his coadjutors in his new venture. And there can be little doubt that he was substantially right. If the writers in the Saturday were audacious, self-reliant, contemptu ous, and rigid in the enforcement of their own canons of good taste, they were unquestionably as able, as brilliant, as well-informed, and as sound in their literary principles, as any men who wrote for a generation becoming daily more and more fastidi ous. In those days Mr. Matthew Arnold had not imported the German word " Philistinism" for the benefit of his generation; but it was the special, and prominent, and avowed aim of the Saturday Review to attack Philistinism wherever it showed its disagreeable and presumptuous head. Above all, it was independent, alike in its politics and in its literary and artistic criticisms. So far as its politics were of any definite complexion, they were, as was natural from its origin, of the Peelite type. In regard to the " cynicism" attributed to the Saturday Review, it is necessary to remember that when it started cynicism was in the ascendant among the more cultivated classes of English men. That aptness for universal unbelief, and 'or what may be described as a species of bitter and contemptuous universal charitableness, which was the result partly of political complications, partly of the advance of Palmerstonianism, and partly of the break-up of religious ideas which fol- lowed the secession of Dr. Newman and his friends ,o Rome, found precisely the organ which it desired ri the unimpassioned, witty, unsparing, and unpre udiced criticisms on men, women, and books, which under Mr. Cook's direction appeared week by week in unceasing flow. It was, moreover, only through ,his utter aversion from enthusiasm in its writers 'hat the Saturday exhibited that strange combina- tion of Iligh Church ecclesiastical tastes with a recognition of the truth of liberal principles in theo logy which has been its characteristic up to the very present hour. It needed no familiarity with its editorial secret to guess that among its numerous writers were men Of gY sorts of opinions, political, religious, and literary. 2-4 " favourite aversions" were the leaders of the Evanget-i•L 4 schools, and if it was ever cordial in any thing, it was c ordial in its dislike to men of whom Lord Shaftesbuiyis +he typo and the leader. Yet its adhesion to the views of such writers Its Dean Stanley and Mr. Jowett has always been, and still is, of the coldest and most qualified kind. On the whole, the Saturdayßertew, under Mr. Cook's guidance, has been pre-eminently a reproeutative journal, and, as such, has well de served th.power and the reputation it has gained. Without any effort, and without the slightest de termination of constituting itself an " organ," it has represented the cast of thought, the feelings, and the temper, of the highest order of London political, and critical, and literary life. Mr. Cook was little seen abroad, especially of late years; but in those circles where he was well known be will be remembered with sorrow and regret. The insurgents next attacked the hall door, and endea. voured to force it open, holding the coachman in their front to deter the defenders from firing. After half-an. hour's fruitless effort they retired, first swearing the coachman to secrecy. From the hour selected they probably believed that the family were at church. A working shoemaker, named Michael D. O'Halloran, was arrested on his arrival at Cork by a late train from Yougbal on Sunday night; on suspicion of being the leader of the attacking party. Other accounts make no mention of Mr. Drew and his sons, but state that a lady, reported to be Miss Drew, or a visitor, defended the house and fired from the window. NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE. GUS.

I .Details are now to hand of the inquest on the policemen, shot during the agrarian outrage in Tipperary. A s we have already announced, an open verdict was returned. Among other evidence given was the following : Constable Cleary, in the course of his depositions, stated : There were about 100 people, men, women, and children, near us when we reached Dwyer's house. They were shouting and calling out " Scully, the bastard !" and one man in particular in the crowd cried out, " We might as well be dead as 'alive." Before we came to Dwyer's the mob became more determined in their efforts to get at Mr. Scully, and I said to them, " For God's sake keep back, as we will have to use violence, for protect this man I :will." I went to Mr Scully, and said to him that it would be advisable to leave. i ‘ Is that your opinion ?" said he. " Yes," said I. " said he, "now for the junction." We were then about three fields from Dwyer's house. Dwyer's house was not, I think, in our direct way to the railway junction, but he led the way, and we followed him. He went by the back of Dwyer's, and turned short into the yard towards the door of the dwelling-house: Gorman, Maher, and Morrough were with him, and remained where he turned in, keeping the crowd back. I stopped the people at the corner, and while performing that duty I heard two shots. I saw Mr. Scully run across the yard wounded. He got in shelter of a pier, and ho shouted to me, " Come on." I went into the middle of,„ the yard, and commenced to fire at where I saw the smoke coming from. He was firing at the same time from behind the pier. He said, " Will anyone enter the house with me ?" " I will," said I ; " come on;" and we rushed to the house. It was then I saw Gorman lying apparently dead at the threshold. We got into the house, and I turned to the men and called on them to follow me; They did so at once. I did not bee any person in the house. I fired from the centre of the yard at the, porthole. Mr. Scully said there were people i n th e l o f t, " Very well," said I; "I will go there." I jumped on the table, and then perceived a hole in the thatch, quite large enough for persons to escape through. Just then Sub-constable Colleton said, "My God, Con stable Cleary, lam shot." We went out into the yard, and Mr. Scully and I forced open the door of the outhouse in which the porthole was ; he caught one side of the door and I the other. The door was barricaded with a lot of sticks. We found the back door open. Near the porthole was a blunderbuss, which appeared to have burst. I; looked out into the garden which the back door led to, and found a large number of footsteps there. I then returned to the yard, and saw Morrough for the first time. He was then dead. After tearing open the door of the house there were no shots fired, but there were a number fired after Colleton said he was shot. Morrough was lying near the porthole. From the beginning I should think there were seventeen or eighteen shots fired by what I may call the " opposite party." I did not see a single man_ of those who fired. After the inquest on Murrough and Gorman, an inquiry into the circumstances was held by the magistrates. Five of the prisoners were discharged, and the other four remanded. It would seem from the evidence at the, inquest that none of the persons who fired the shots can be identified. Proclamations are posted in Tipperary offering a reward by the Lord-Lieutenant of £5OO for the arrest of any of the party who fired on Mr. Scully and the police, and also a reward of £3OO for information which may lead to their arrest, LAW AND POLICE. HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY,-- At the Leeds Assizes an action was brought by Miss Clay, a teacher of music, who resides at Bradford, against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. On the 7th March last year she was a second-class passenger on the defendants' railway, and going to Huddersfield, when a collision took pace in the Bowling Tunnel. The plaintiff was in a carriage which was broken all to pieces, and crowbars had to be used to separate the broken wood• work and to liberate her legs, which were badly jammed in. The accident arose in this way. -he engine of the train in which the plaintiff was broke down in the tunnel, and a train from Leeds, for Low Moor; ran into the tunnel at full speed because the signalman had neglected his duty. Miss Clay was prevented from pursuing her profession, which formerly yielded £2OO per annum. The_ fury awarded £1,500 damages. ACTION AGAINST THE REGISTRAR OF A COUNTY Counr.— At the same assizes an action was brought by Mr. Williamson, a grocer, at Huddersfield, against 'the registrar of the county court in that town for neglect in issuing a summons. The plaintiff on the 7th Dec. levied under a bill of exchange against a person named Challon. The plaintiff wanted £25185., and execution should have issued on the 7th December, but it was not put in force until the 15th, and all that time was lost to the plaintiff. Judgment could not issue until the Ist of January, and the bailiff then was required by law to wait five days before he could sell. During those five days Challon became bankrupt on his own petition, and the plaintiff's execution was forestalled. For the defence, it was contended that the neglect was an accident. The fury awarded £5 damages. STACK-FIRING BY A RAILWAY ENGINE.—An action.which, raised the important point as to whether a railway com pany can be sued for damages occasioned by sparks from one of their engines has just been tried at Leeds. The plaintiff was a farmer at Darston, and lived close by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. He had a straw stack within thirty-eight yards of the railway points. As a train was passing, a piece of live coal from the funnel of the engine ignited the stacks, which, with a quantity of . farm produce, were destroyed. It was proved by wit nesses that at a cost of £2 an apparatus could be obtained which would effectually prevent the emission of live coal from an engine. His lordship observed that if there was a known mode of preventing the emission of sparks, the railway company were bound to use it ; and if all the rail way companies in England chose rather to run the risk of fires than to pay the expense of preventing them, they must abide by the consequences. The jury gave £134 damages. THE ROBBERY FROM THE rIILTENEY HOTEL.—At the Central Criminal Court Alfred Ball was indicted for stealing a quantity of plate from the Pulteney Hotel, where he was employed ; and Elizabeth Brown, George Henfrey, and Emily Henfrey, were indicted for receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen. Ball pleaded guilty, and it was proved that the other prisoners had been dealing with the property a very short time after it had been stolen, and on _their premises being searched some of the articles and a crucible for melting were dis covered. Mrs. Henfrey was acquitted, as the jury believed that she acted under the control of her husband, but all the others were convicted. Ball and. Humphrey, against whom previous convictions were proved, were sen. tented to seven and teu years' penal servitude respec tively, and Brown, who is 64 years of age, was recom mended to mercy, and was ordered to be imprisoned for a month. In a return received from a chief constable by ,he parish authorities, which records the dismissal of one of their police-officers, the crime is stated to be, " For attempting to marry his wife, being alive." THE DISASTER AT CADORE.—The loss of property )ccasioned by the fall of a mountain on the village of Ca.ncia, has been estimated at a million of lire. The three stone bridges of Peaio, Brunian, and Vallesina were washed the deluge. The Minister of the Interior and the away of Belluno have given 1,500 lire each fur OD FROM THE P rovincial , se houses were destroyed, and th e i r - the poor people the King of Italy. case has also been laid 1-) Or ga B ODIES . lES three more h., OARKsECcOVoLELR,YERI.O,IIOAn NLActiail yEit and bodies were brought out of the workings a th.: Oaks Colliery.
