I anticipate, from the soundings about to ba taken by the French ship of war, that a good deal of favourable ground will be found from Milne bank to the Grand bank of Newfoundland. I am, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, (Signed) JAMES ANDERSON. 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 tin, coast of the United Srates. The deep sea cable adopted is almost exactly similar to tlytt used in 1863 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 74 tons, while the strain re quired for submersion need not exceed 14 cwt. Even if it should bs necessary to haul back any portion already laid, the strain need not exceed 11 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 anv 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 recovered by dredging, but we take the opportunity 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 transmitting messages through long submarine lines is no longer a matter of doubt, and the laws affecting their transmission are well understood. Wo 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. The shallow water section will be a heavy cable, protected ftftnlst 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. Wo are, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants, WILLIAM THOMSON, HENRY C. PORDE and C. F. VARLEY, FLEEMING JENKIN. LATIMER CLARKE, Messrs. Erlanger and Reuter.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS The ol•ject 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:/korking 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 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 as,istance to the undertakiug, 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 in; 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 rat) the line will find constant em ployment. 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 titne, and consequently only ten 1 ours a-day for actual work, and taking sOO woi king 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 be 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 be 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 io 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 2,323 miles. 2nd section, from St. Pierre to the United 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 £BlO,OOO 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., £60,000 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 re 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 line 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 i n the conuctor has been increased from 3001 b. to 4001 b. per, knot. By this me ans greater rapidity of tran sm i ss i on 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 Shareholders. 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 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'Erlauger, Julius Reuter, Esq. Dear Sirs, —With reference to the route projected f or 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 there is no possibility of ice, or of any other agency that can be sug gested, injuring the cable. The northern edge of the Grand bank was avoided, because it i s uncertain at what depth the icebergs ground. They are said, upo n goo d authority, to ground at tim i es n 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 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 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 bo a matter of certainty ; and we aro justified, from the soundings which already exist, in affirming that SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

London 56, Harley-street, Cavendish-square, W. it Liverpool 134, Duke-street, and Brighton ATTENDANCE DAILY. PILICE 4d. STAMPED . 53) THE 11EIV AMERICAN AMBASSADOR. (From the Anglo-American 2 inles.) His Excellency the American Minister is now due at St. James's, and will, we hope, immediately take his place among the Representatives of Foreign Powers. Knotty questions have still to be unravelled, but an American Minister with the capacity and experience of Mr. JOHNSON would find little difficulty in settling these with a Lord STANLEY if they were lefc simply to ground that settlemont on equity, sound sense, and interna tional law. The obstructions lie in the people on either side the Atlantic, and it is in their prejudices and interests that both will find the difficulties of the task. To a greater or lesser extent these will continue to exist, and like a farmer who seizes on fine weather to house his crop, these statesmen should avail themselves of lulls in national passions, hatred and malice, to get such questions safely stowed away. The time is propitious, and we desire to see the chief actor on the stage. Contrasting the present with the state of things which met his predecessor, Mr. JOHNSON has every cause to congratulate himself. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS left the States in dis ruption, to take his place in a society openly advo cating the severance. An ambassador moves in the very class wherein the feeling most strongly ran in favour of the South, and a good Union man like the late Minister could scarcely fail to be offended wherever -he went with the ostentatious display, however unintentional as regards himself, of sympathy with those who were trying to break up the Union. Though the heart of the general mass of the English people had a truer in stinct, yet the high rank of an ambassador militated against his mixing in a society which could scarcely fail to be more congenial. Those alone who have lived in a circle in antago nism to the opinions with which they are imbued can tell how disagreeable the contact is. It is a perpetual state of irritation, a surrounding depres sion, something added to the hope deferred which makes the heart sick. Mr. ADAMS had to witness from this side the terrible struggle, which, to the people here among whom be mixed, seemed so cer tain to end in Southern success. A man's faith must be built on a rock to withstand the influence accompanied by such adverse circumstances as characterised the first years of the war. He had to represent a country in the throes of a revolution, at a Court little less than hostile to his Government. But REVERDY JOHNSON enters the vacant place, the representative almost of a Continent, of a nation the world have learned to raspect from the great physical power shown, an-I accredited to a Court which desires, above all things, to con ciliate the young giant. As one of the leaders in the Senate, as a great constitutional lawyer, as a Conservative statesman, Mr. JOHNSON will be welcomed. Many questions have to be settled ; foremost among which is the subject of naturaliza tion and the claims left by the strife. There are m mny others on both sides got up by the Fenians, and more dangerous cases may yet be created by that organization. But the time is propitious, and in the present temper of both sections of the Anglo- Saxon race we do not think it would be easy, how ever unscrupulous the acts of the Fenians to disturb the harmony. One of the questions was discussed by the Pall Mall Gazette last Thursday—the costume in which the Aineriean Minister is to appear at Court. IVe cannot complain of the sarcasm in this instance, knowing the proneness of our contemL porary thus to discuss most questions, and Con gress really deserves what it gets for making a fuss on such a subject. To give point to its remarks, the Pull Mall relates the following absurd story : —" There was, for instance, the case of the Minister at Paris SOM.; years ago, which is often related iu American cireles. hl , l to be presented to Louis PHILIPPE, and pondered much what manner of costume he should wear. While still distracted by the doubts of a girl who is pre paring for her first ball, he happc ied to see in a tailor's shop a dress which seemed expressly made for such an occasion. He had the presence of mind to order it at once. The appointed day arrived, and the Minister made his appearance before the KING, clad in a uniform well calculated to surprise the head of an almost ' effete monarchy.' But he was amazed and disappointed to find that his Majesty wore the dress of a simple citizen. ' If,' said the Minister, I had known your Majesty was going to be so plainly dressed I would not have put on this'—pointing with a rueful air to his finery. Sir,' replied Louis PHILIPPE, lam too happy to think that there is any costume in France which bas attracted your approbation. You have done our field marshals much honour.' For it was as a field marshal that he had paid his respects to theKiNG." After describing what Mr. YEA3IA.N did at Copen hagen, what Mr. ALVIN P. HOVEY did at Peru, and how he was made a Major-General, the Gazette goes on to say—" There were other Ministers who wisely threw themselves into the humour of Con gress with enthusiasm. Mr. HALE, statioaied at Madrid, wrote a glowing account to Mr. Seward of the elegant appearance he had made before the QUEEN, dressed as an American gentleman should be, and not ' decked out with the silly parapher nalia common in Europe.' There, ' the lacquey of the palace will, as a matter of course, be more gor geously dressed than himself.' Is not that the case also when the American gentleman goes dressed in plain clothes ?" Of course, General BUTLER could li not expect to escape scot free when Americans are discussed. The Gazette says :—" That hero might have shown his contempt for the despots of the old world by arraying himself in a drapery of the flag of his country, or in a suit of trappings made of the scalps of his slaughtered foes. But Gen. BUTLER is not coming. We are to have a simple gentle man instead, and we have no doubt that he might go to Court in a shooting -coat if Congress decided that such attire was necessary to show the world that America is a free and independent nation." The public will wait with curiosity for the appear ance of the American Minister at Court, and as Mr. JOHNSON'S portly figure will require ample cloth, and give scope for braiding,, Congress has a good block on which to try the new costume. It is, however, a gratifying sign when such questions obtain prominence, for the less a Minister has to do the better. We hourly hope to hear of his Excel lency's arrival, though we fear London in its ex tremity of dullness, as at present, will not prove a lively city for several weeks to come. A CRAB FACTORY.—A gentleman at Annapolis, Maryland, fenced in a cove near the mouth of the Severn river, and commenced the cultivation of crabs on a large scale. He has put in aboat 4,000 and feeds them on a coarse fish and any kind of refuse meat. A squad of them will attack a catfish and devour it in one night, picking the bones as clean as a pack of wolves pick a deer. The soft crab is only the hard crab with his coat or shell off. Before shedding his shell he is worth only half a cent in the market ; without it he is worth a dime. He sheds his hard shell but once a year, and then remains a soft c►ab but a few hours, when a new shell is again formed. But few soft crabs are seen, owing to the difficulty of finding and capturing them in the " nick of time." This difficulty it is proposed to obviate by the hording process, whore the stack can be examined every day, and as fast as a crab is found with his coat off, he is caught as a soft crab and mirkoted accordingly. The location of the crab pasture is at a point where the tide regularly ebbs and flows, giving the crabs a plentiful supply of their natural element. WORTHY TIIE CIRCU3ILOCUTION OFFICE.—A doc tor who went to settle in a village out West, on the first night of his arrival was summoned to attend a sick child. He looked at the lit tlesufferer very attentively, and then do livered this oracular opinion :—" This byar babe's got the smallpox, and I ain't posted up to postules. Wo must approach this case by circular treatment. You give the little cus this draught. That'll send him into fits. Then send for me. I'm a stunner on fits." The editor of an Eastern paper says:--" We have adopted the eight-hour system in this office. We commence work at eight o'clock in the morning, and close at eight in the evening." !FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

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 ls. Gd. 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 School or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining 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 stibsequent 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 Saptember and three following days.

The following is the letter from Dr. Pusey read at the Wesleyan Conference now being held at Liverpool. It was addressed to Mr. Bedford, the ex-president. " Rev. Sir,—As you are now assembling in Conference you will not, I trust, consider it an intrusion if I write to you upon a subject with which, having been long resident at the University of Oxford, I am well acquainted—the bearings of Mr. Coleridge's Bill on its religious condition and your own interests as a religious body. "That bill has commonly been advocated, in the House of Commons as being in the interest of the different Dis senting bodies. lam convinced that it can be in the interest of no religious Dissenting body, of no Dissenting body at all excepting the Socinians, and not even of them permanently, for Socinianism, being one of the most inconsistent of all religionisms, can maintain no long hold upon the human mind. It must go downwards towards Deism even while it continues to call itself Christian, or to acknowledge some unreal Christ of its own invention. " But this is a time of increasing consistency. People will take their side more and more either with the old creeds of the Church, or with some form of religion which, whatever it may call itself, will be essentially atliciaic or pantheistic. The effect of Mr. Coleridge's bill would be to legitimatise this conflict within the University of Oxford. The body whose interests it would advance would be those whose indistinct belief is ever being pre cipitated downwards, who hardly know what they them selves believe, and who, under the name of progress, are ever retrograding to the hopeless scepticism before our Lord came. It is true that this (although a diminishing party among our young men) does exist among us ; some have gone'far further than this—to the denial of Christianity itself, of their own free agency, and of God. But they are of course iu a false position in a university which has any test or any common faith at all. The effect of Mr. Coleridge's bill would be to legitimise their position and acknowledge them among the teachers of our Christian youth. You would not wish your own youth so to be taught. The only result which I can imagine of his bill would be to drive our future clergy also to seek their education elsewhere, as, in matter of fact, in France. The bishops, in order to exempt their candidates for orders from the soul-destroying influence of the University of France, obtained for them from the Emperor Napoleon an exemption from the necessity of passing ;through a university course to which they had been subject under the previous dynasties. " Supposing the present state of things to be changed, some of us have thought of two alternative expedients. The one would be to substitute for subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles an acknowledgment of the faith ac cording to the Nicene Creed. This would admit to all the privileges and the fellowships of the university any mem bers of Dissenting bodies who hold the common creed of Christendom, such as you hold, and such as, at least, the Particular Baptists and the Independents hold all Dissenters, in fact, who have not lapsed into Socinianism. The other plan which has been publicly advocated by Mr. Liddon and myself would, I should think, be more accept able to the religious Dissenting bodies—viz., that we should each teach according to our own belief until God bring us to one mind, and that out of the funds of the college pro vision should be made for those Dissenting bodies who wish to be represented in the university. In a word, that new colleges should be founded out of the revenues of the old ones for the different bodies who hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Better, indeed, even to decide that Socinianism should be endowed than to allow that all colleges should become Socinian, sceptical, deistic, athiestic. " Either of these ways would be religious ways, and how ever unacceptable such plans might be to the Liberals at Oxford—because they both of them presuppose the con tinued recognition of a definite faith—they would, I am 6ure, be to the vast majority of the members of the university far preferable to Mr. Coleridge's bill, which would intrust the education of our youth to (as it may be) deist or atheist. " For ourselves, I have always observed that proximity and intercourse lead to a better understanding, and that the only hopeless alienation comes from absolute sever ance. " Allow me to commend this subject to your considera tion and your prayers, and forgive me if I also beg you to pray, as we do, that all these unhappy breaches may be healed, and we may be all one fold, under one shepherd. If we pray, God will hear us in His own way. " Yoirs, very faithfully, in Christ Jesus, "E. B. Puszr." In the discussion which followed the reading of the letter Dr. Waddy objected that Dr. Pusey had no locus standi in the Conference ; thought they had better take no official notice of the letter, and moved the order of the Prest sympathised with what Dr. Waddy had said ; there 1", al an idea in the letter which he did not like, and they were not to be caught by the golden bait. —Mr. Arthur said they would, of course, show Dr. rusey every respectful courtesy, but other letters had been received by that Conference from persons quite as honour able as Dr. rusey. Some said the universities must be national, and not denominational ; but Dr. Pusey seemed to think that such a change would lead to pantheism. No wonder he thought so, for Socinianism must get the better of mere forms and ceremonies ; but Methodism, he believed, had nothing to fear from Puseyism or anything else, and all they asked for themselves was fair play and no favour. The Bishop of Oxford had established a small college of his own where young men spent some time in preparing for the ministry after they had finished their university course, and did-not that establishment recognise the fact that the Church had work to do apart from the university ? He hoped the Committee of Privileges would not allow themselves to be played upon by any extraneous influences so as to prevent them from availing themselves of openings in the nation.—Dr. Rigg said the letter proved the party of exclusiveness to be in. cxtremis with regard to the universities. He did not take the letter as any great compliment to the Wesleyans. He (Dr. rigg) would be no parti p to endowing colleges of all denominations what ever might be their respective creeds.—Mr. Shaw sug gested that a respectful acknowledgment of Dr. Pusey's letter should be sent to him, and that he should be in formed that his letter had been read to the Conference. — Mr. Arthur sustained Mr. Shaw ; and, finally, it was agreed that the ex-President should acknowledge Dr. Pusey's letter, as it had been originally addressed to him, FOREIGN TRADE OF BELGIUM.

THE ABSCONDING OF A LIVERPOOL MERCHANT.— All doubt is now set at rest as to the Liverpool merchant whose sudden flight early in the week created so painful an impression. According to the tenour of a police notice, the person in question is Mr. W. J. Harris, the managing partner of the firm of George Wright and Co., of 2, South John-street.
