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 sur 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 ' , um 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 vithout 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.—Liverpooi Mercury. •-••• event on are he de 'ling both purpose, the Chase point of A opinion her vote THE SUN, LONDON, FIiIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1868.

The groat 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 hack 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 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 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. 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. Tho 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 for the Persian Gulf cable. The route avoids all considerable anchorages and all danger from icebergs, and should any interruption ever oocur 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. 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.

ILLTEEATING A WIFE .LND rAmmy.-At the Greenwich 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 had 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, Lincoln's-inn 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 boafd of guardians relief was ordered to the extent of 2s. 6d. and three loaves of bread per week, kis instructions being to summon the husband, and failing to appear to which a warrant was issued for his apprehen sion. The day after the relief was given be 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 had 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. THE HALIFAX GAS CASE.—It VMS stated that Mr. 'John 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, ho finding two sureties in £lOO to come up for judgment in the event of the Court of Criminal Appeal sustaining the conviction.

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 Air. Julius Router, of London. • This concession bears date 6th July, 1868, and confers the privilege of laying and working Submarine Telegraphs between Franco 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 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 now cable is estimated, according to the report of the engineers and electricians, at a minimum of twelve words per minute, which, allow tr.er xi Douro a clay for wacto fimo, and ennipapaontly 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 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.

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., £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 tho 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 ,7e 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 in the conductor has been increased from 3001 b. to 4001 b. per kuct. 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 Franco, 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 seen from this that the Concessionaires look only to the success of the undertaking for their remuneration, and for the lepayment of the expenses they have already incurred.'

COPIES OF REPORTS OF SIR JAMES ANDERSON, SIR WILLIAM THOMSON, MESSRS. VARLEY, CLARKE, FORDE, AND JENFLiN. London, 3d August, 1868. Baron Emile d'Erlan,ser, Julius Router, Esq. Dear Sirs,—With reference to the route projected for the cable between Brost 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 is uncertain at what depth the 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 so metimes choose to drop an anchor for the purpose of keeping their station in the track of lee floes. These dangers are avoided by the track chosen for the proposed cable ' and I am justified by my , own. , experionee in saying that the track from the southern edge of the Grand bank to St. Pierre, and thence to the plice'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 exist, in affirming that the depth pkyrAtur 41eng the deep ON pelti9l3 eau ke he SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTI7RE, &c. ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868. THE LORDS COMMISSION E RS o f t h e 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 engineering 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 be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and cumbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows .51.arics. 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 ... ___ Pra - ctical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) ... ... ... 2,500 Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi dates only) ... ... ... ... ... ... 2,500 French ... ••• ••• 500 Elements of physic and ehymistry ... 750 English grammar and composition ... ... 750 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 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 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the Szhool 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 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; an d they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer.

Hudson, on the favourite, was distinguished by wearing a brighter coloured jacket than Oeberne on Mandrake. At the first attempt the flag was lowered to an excellent start.

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.

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 the Local Board, and by the ill-health of Dr. Reid, the Vice- President, who has just resigned, made little sari tary effort to improve the state of the public health. We are glad, therefore, to see some chance of earnest work being done. His Grace the Duke 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 send 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.—British Medical Journal. The duties of Brigade-Major at the Royal Engi neer Establishment, Chatham, are ordered to be carried out by Lieutenant W. Merriman during the absence, on two months' sick leave, of Major R. Harrison.

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 life. MAGISTRATES AND MAGISTRATES.—A few days ago a sergeant of the B division charged a young man at the Westminster Police-court with having been drunk ; but t' , e defendant produced testimony which appeared to Prove, not only that the charge was unfounded, but that lie 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 ho dismissed the charge, stigmatised the sergeant as a man utterly un worthy of belief, expressed un 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 bad 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• mg 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.

It comprises a collection of hives of all times and all nountries, of instruments and utensils employed in apicul ,ure, 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. TILE FATAL ACCIDENT AT CILAMOUNIX. —The btatement 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 rollingdown 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.

THE POLISH MONUMENT.—The inuaguration of the Polish monument at Rapperschwyl, in the canton of St. Gall, 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 Eapperschwyl, the Landman of St. Gall, Herr Kinkel, and M. Anatole de la Forge, of the Side, 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 2f 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 the 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.
