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 th e concession granted by the Imperial French Government to Baron Emile d'Erlanger, of Paris, and Mr. Julius Reuter, of London. • This concession boars date 6th July, 1868, And confers the privilege of laying and working Subinarine 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 the 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 iu 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 ploymentp The power of transmission of the new cable is estimated, according 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 annual income of £132,000. Practically, the proportion of days and hours lost would in all probability bo less than is assumed in this estimate. The working expenses of the new line 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 lino 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. Pierre to the United States, about 722 8,047 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 £BlO,OOO is payable in cash by agreed instalments during the manufacture and shipment of the cable. The remain ing £llO,OOO will be payabl e i n th e f o ll ow i ng manner , viz., £BO,OOO in fully paid-up Shares, after the section from Brest 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 up 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 be employed in laying the deep sea portion. Sir Samuel Canning with a competent staff will ha. - e charge of the submersion of the cable. Sir James Anderson will act on behalf of, and watch over, the in terests of the Company. The cable is contracted to be shipped in June next, and the lino is expected to be open for traffic in the course of next year. The cable will be of the 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 the Cable shall have been successfully laid, and shall have continued to work satis factorily for 30 days. They will also be 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 per cent. to the Sh a reholders. These contingent profits will, for con venience, be attached to a portion of the fully paid shares. It will be eeen from this that the Concessionaires look only to the success of the undertaking for their remuneration, and for the repayment of the expenses they have already incurred.'

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 havo recommended it for the following reasons: — By keeping in the 500 fathom line upon Milne bank and around the southern edge of the Grand batik there is no possibility of ice, or of any other agency that oan be sug gested, iujuring the cable. Tho northern edge of the Grand bank was avoided, because it is uncertain at what depth the icebergs ground. They aro said, upon good authority, to ground at times iu 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 tho track of ice floes. _ _ _ These dangers are avoided by the track chosen for the proposed cable, and I am 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 tho Milne bank and from the Grand bank to St. Pierre, and thence•to America (upward 3 of 1,200 miles), will bo laid in water of such `easy depth that repairs will be a matter of certainty ;and we are justified, from the soundings which already exist, in affirming that the depth of water along the deep sea portion 'can be ho " PAINLESS DENTISTRY 1" A NEW PAMPHLET, Free by post for four stamps.

HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. RITPTURES.—BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

Gontlemoni—At your request wo have much pleasure in handing you the present report on the cable recom mended by us to be laid from lirest to St. Pierre, and from St. Pierre to tha coast of tLe Unit d.States. The Filly Sapliug Stakes of 50 s)vs each, 3) ft, for two year old (lilies, Bst Nib each: the secolid to save her 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 71 tons, while the strain re quired for submersion iiee , l not exceed 14 cwt. Even if it should be necessary to haul back any portion already laid, the strain need not exceed 13 tens in the deepest water. The strength in, therefore, amply suffi.:ient to meet all contingeacies, with a margin quite as great as is allowed in any ordin .ry engineering cousti.uction or operation. We need hardly remind von of the experimental proof which has boon given that this form of cable can, oven if broken in the deepest water, .bo recovered by dredging, but we i take the opportunity of expressing our deliberete opinion that this success was not fortuitous, but that the experi ment might be repeated as often as required with a like result. Tho power of transmitting messages through long submarine lines is no long er a ma tt e r of doubt, and the laws affecting their transmission are 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 sigrnalling 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. The shallow water section will be a heavy cable, protected ,against rust by a bituminous compound, as used forihe 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 be 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. Y(11.1 secure the advan tige of a direct communication; and the risks you run aro not greater in any way than those already surmounted. We are, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants, WILLIAM THOMSON, HENRY C. PORDE, and C. VARLEY, FLEEMING JENKIN. LATIMER C LARKE, Messrs. Erlanger and Router. stake. T.Y.C. .5 fur. 1.1 yards. 16 subs.

Owing to the delays which occurred in previous races, the start was delayed for some little time. The compe titors were saddled in the enclosure with the exception of the Middloham pair, Mandrake and Tabouret, who were put through their toilettes near the starting post. Hudson, on the favourite, was distinguished by wearing a brighter coloured jacket than Osborne on Mandrake. At the first attempt the flag was lowered to an excellent start. Ilium jumped off in front, but when they had fairly settled down to their strile the running was taken up by Tabouret, who cut out the work in alvance of Wild Briar and Ilium at a fairish pace, succeeded by Fervac ques and Mandrake, who were clear of The Spy and Fairwind, the rear being brought up by Lord Palmerston and Honesty. At a quarter of a mile Wild Briar rushed past Tabouret and took up the running, and held a clear lead until reaching the mile past, when the lot took close order. About half a mile from home The Spy passed Ta bouret and Ilium; when in the line for home Wild Briar gave way, and she was followed immediately after by The Spy. Fairwind then took a clear lead, and though chal lenged at the commencement of the Stand, he came away and won in a cantor by a length and a half, five lengths separating second and third, Wild Briar was fourth, Ho nesty fifth, Fervacques sixth, Lord Palmerston seventh, The Spy eighth, Ilium last.

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 re ca i ve wages th e same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at ls. 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 38. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the School or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study at th e School, and the remaining fire 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 those pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval arc hit ec t s f or obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be 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.

In spite of more favourable weather, the fever does not disappear. The general mortality in town and country, and especially in the latter, has cer tainly diminished; it is, however, far greater than it ought to be, and particularly in Port Louis, where the death-rate is 10 per cent. per annum. The population of the whole island was 340,000 last year, and the mortality was over 41,000 ; yet, not withstanding this enormous fatality, the authorities kept squabbling in a most disgraceful way. The Government and municipal authorities did not act as they ought to have done ; and the General Board of Health, hampered as it was by th€, L3cal Board, and by the ill-health of Dr. Reid, the Vice- President, who has just rosignel, made little sani tary effort to improve the state of the public health. We arc glad, therefore, to see some chance of earnest work being done. his Grace the I)uke of Bucking ham sent a despatch to the General Board, recom mending a system of drainage for Port Louis ; and, although many of the local papers resisted the idea on the most absurd and ignorant pretexts, a move ment in the proper direction has been taken. A Com mission, including the resident engineer of railways (who, we hope, is a good sanitary engineer also), has been appointed to decide on the system of drainage to be sanctioned ; and the Commission have re solved to request his Excellency the Governor to order a block contour survey to be made, prelimi nary to the whole question. The Fever Inquiry Commission have also appointed a sub-committee, including three medical men, to prepare a concise report on the evidence already obtained, which should have been collected in a useful form long ere this. Whether the efforts now being made will come to anything, it is difficult to say ; but, should they not have a speedy result, it is the duty of the Government at home to take the matter up in a more earnest spirit, and sand out a Commission to inves tigate what has been shameful, and we might add criminal, mismanagement and neglect, on the part of the authorities, of the sanitary means at their disposal.—.

During the past day or two no little commotion has been produced in Hutchinson-street, out of Baker-street, West Derby-road, and its immediate neighbourhood, by an occurrence which, trivial enough in itself, is our rounded with a perplexing degree of mystery. About two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the inmates of one of the houses near the junction in Hutchinson-street with Baker. street were startled by a stone crashing through a pane of glass in the kitchen window, which looks out into the back yard. At first it was thought the stone must have been thrown by some child, and no particular notice was taken of the matter ; but presently another missile struck the window and broke another pane of glass. At short intervals throughout the rest of the day, up till nearly eleven o'clock at night, stones, pieces of coal, and other missiles were thrown at the window, until almost every pane of glass that it contained had been battered out. The occupiers of the house, unable themselves to discover the quarter "rom whence the stones, &c., came, commu nicated with the police, and several constables appeared ipon the scene. They were equally unsuccessful in their endeavours to discover the author of the mischief. Visits were paid to several of the neighbouring houses, but without in any way clearing up the mystery, and numerous stones were thrown while the officers were actually standing by the window at which the missiles were aimed, without their being able to tell from which direction they came. Yesterday, the bombardment of the window-- or rather, of the shutters, which had to be closed—was resumed, though not so con tinuously as on the previous day. Half a dozen detectives were sent up from the police-office in' the course of the morning, in the hope that they would pounce upon the offender, but they were obliged to depart baffled in the object of their visit, and the mystery which surrounds the affair is not yet cleared up. As might be expected, all manner of conjectures have been hazarded, but it is generally believed that some foolish individual, armed with a catapult or other propulsive weapon, is gratifying his propensity for mischief in this peculiar fashion. One singular feature about the affair is, that although there are numerous other windows equally within range, only this particular one appears to have been selected as a mark.—Liverpool Mercury. LAW AND POLICE. ILLTREATING A WIFE AND rAIIILY.—At the G reenwich Police-court, before Mr. Maude, Thomas Owen, a young man described as a law-writer, and who appeared him. self to be well nourished, was brought up on a warrant charged with that, being of sufficient ability to maintain his wife and five children, he had allowed them to become chargeable to the Greenwich Union. He was also charged on a summons with assaulting his wife. The relieving officer, from inquiries he bad made, proceeded to the house, where he found everything in a very destitute condition, and the whole of the children were almost in a state of nudity, having only an old gar. ment on them. He inquired of the wife respecting her husband, and she said he was a law-writer, having three " seats " at an office in Serle's-place, fields, where he employed others to work, and that his earnings were from three to four guineas per week. He at once relieved the wife and children, and on bringing her case before the board of guardians relief was ordered to the extent of 2s. 6d. and three loaves of bread per week, his instructions being to summon the husband, and failing ‘o appear to which a warrant was issued for his apprehen h;oll. The day after the relief was given he again visited the house, and found that two of the three loaves had been taken to another house for safety, as the prisoner had threatened to throw anything away that was obtained from the " parish." A more shocking case bad never come under his notice, and on asking the eldest of the children, a boy of eight years of age, if he could read, he replied that he could not. The accused was remanded. TIIE HALIFAX GAS CASE.—It was stated that Mr. 2ohn Firth, of Halifax, had been found guilty, at the West Riding sessions at Wakefield, of stealing gas, the property of the Halifax corporation. On the application of Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson the court granted a case for the Court of Criminal Appeal, as to whether the taking of gas was a continuous taking, as alleged by the prosecution. Mr. Firth was released on bail, he finding two sureties in £lOO to come up for judgment in the event of the Court of Criminal Appeal sustaining the conviction. GROSS BRUTALITY BY A COLLIER.—At the Liverpool Assizes, Anthony Fillingham was found guilty of the manslaughter of Phillis Hayes, a woman with whom he cohabited. He had behaved with the most atrocious brutality, had beaten her about the head with a poker, had kicked her from room to room, and at last had thrown a bar of iron at her which stuck in her forehead like an arrow. He was sentenced to penal servitude for iife. MAGISTRATES AND MAGISTRATES.—A few days ago a sergeant of the B division charged a young man at the Westminster Poliet-court with having been drunk ; but t' , e defendant produced testimony which appeared to prove, not only that the charge was unfounded, but that he had been violently assaulted by the officer. Mr. Selfe was so convinced that the defendant's version of the case was a true one, that he dismissed the charge, stigmatised the sergeant as a man utterly un worthy of belief, expressed an opinion that he ought not to remain in the force, and recommended the young man whom he had arrested to prosecute him for an assault. This has been done, and the matter was again investigated on Thursday, but with a very different result. Mr. Ingham, who presided, declared that the evidence for the complainant had failed, and that the sergeant's statement of the case was the correct one. There had been no want of discretion, and the officer had simply done his duty. The summons was dismissed, the com plainant to pay a guinea costs. Sir Bernard Burke is, it is stated, rapidly recover• itg from his illness. The Prime Minister, on the part of the Crown, has nominated the Rev. W. H. Thompson, M.A., to the vicarage of Exmoor, Somerset, vacant by the preferment of the Rev. Morton Drummond, M.A. ACCLIMATISATION OF BEES IN RUSSIA. —An exhibition of bees has just been opened at Moscow, under the auspices of the Acclimatisation Society of that city. It comprises a collection of hives of all times and all ^•ountries, of instruments and utensils employed in apicul• lure, and of the perfumed honey furnished by the bees which suck the plants known popularly by the names of Ivan-tchai and Koporski-tchai. The honey and the wax are shown in all their stages, from their appearance in the comb to that which they present when variously prepared for commerce. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHAMOITNIX. —The statement that Miss Stevens, the young lady who recently lost her life on the Mer de Glace, was climbing a mountain at the time, and was crushed by the rolling down of a large rock which she had loosened with her staff, is contradicted. A correspondent says that she was sitting with her sister at the side of the Avegron, when a small stone was started from its place by the slight but constant movement of the glacier, rolled down to the lowest point, from which it bounded, striking Miss Stevens upon the top of the head and instantly killing her. EMPLOYMENT DURING CASUAL DISTRESS.—A prize of 12.5 is offered by Mr. W. R. Lloyd, for the paper containing the best and most feasible plan for the tempo rary employment of operatives in casual' distress. The paper is to be read at the forthcoming Congress of the Social Science. Association at Birmingham. The prize will be adjudged by the council, and the name of the successful author will be announced at the opening meeting. Papers competing for this prize must be sent to the general secre tary, at the office of the association, 1, Adam-street, Adclphi, not later than the 21st of September. THE POLISH MONUMENT.—The inuaguration of the Polish monument at Rapperschwyl, in the canton of St. Call, Switzerland, took place on the 16th instant. The proceedings were opened with an eloquent address delivered by Count Platen. The chairman of the Municipal Council of Rapperschwyl, the Landman of St. Gall, Herr Kinkel, and M. Anatole de la Forge, of the SWle, also spoke. At the dinner in the evening, at which there were three hundred present, Count Platen read letters from eminent men in all parts of Europe, wishing well to the cause of Poland. Communications were also received from the working men's associations of England, Belgium, Switzerland, Hungary, Germany, and Holland. Speeches were delivered by General Perczel, M. Henri Martin, the French historian, Herr Kinkel, and the American consul at Zurich. There was enthusiastic applause when the consul protested against any oppressive alliance between the United States and t'w. persecuting Government of Russia. The following is an extract from Count Platen's opening ad dress :--" The international character of this day's cele bration, which is intended to perpetuate, by a monument, the memory of Poland's long-continued struggle, and the presence of so many eminent men of different countries and of representatives of Poland, gives great significance to this demonstration. Poland decimated, despoiled, blood-stained to-day as it was a hundred years back, only awaits an opportunity to enforce her right, for right is the basis of modern societies. What would become of Europe if the Mongol-Muscovite ideas were substituted for European ideas ; that is to say, if the right of the strongest were substituted for that by virtue of which peoples preserye their t raditional nationality and independence 1" • - a 3 iug hey the nar- ace. it a ortn o.") lone :hey de- tcr. fter i,sq., The aged testi- a 1 ;. ; I; li
