" On the afternoon of the 13th, in a perfect calm, the vessels of the expedition were all anchored off Cape St. Elias, about a quarter of a mile from the shore, the Elba rather closer in, and the end of the cable was safely landed, ready for starting at daylight next morning. During the night the weather changed, and Leo tine squally, with frequent Flowers, accompanied by much thunder and lightning; and indeed the appearances were so unfavourable that it was decidei to defer the starting: " By evening of the 14th November the weather again calmed, the barometer was high and steady, and at nine p.m. the expedition got under weigh, the Desperate leading and the Blazer having the Elba in tow. D ur i ng the night the weather was very calm, but a heavy s we ll from the eastward was soon felt, and in passing Cape Carbonsra (the S.E. poiet of Sardinia) this increased so much as to show that there had been strong wind, blow ing outside which had not been felt in the well-sheltered bay of Cagliari. The swell, being right abeam, caused the vessel to roll heavily, but the line was payed out without difficulty. On the morning of the 15th the clouds began to appear on the east horizon, and the wind to blow heavily from the south. By 11 o'clock this had increased almost to a g ale, and the vessel rolled still morn heavily, each sea wasing right across the decks, and it was found necessary, in order to steady her, to hoist fore-and-aft sails. Arid to this violent squall. , , with thunder and lightning clo.e over our heads, and you may conceive the anxiety of our situation. Under these circumstances the operation of payir g out the cable became extremely hezerdous on account of the d:fficulty of standing to the break, and passing freely from place to place. By the arrangement of the eerie and rings the cable wound steadily off the coil on to the break wheel, and the speed of the veerels being mair.ta.ined et about 41 knots an hour, the operation of the break in re gulating the speed of paying out was very . sati,facto , y. At ~ be height o the gale the wind veered round to the S.E., and the vessel being now much lietened, rolled less, And rose well to the waves. During the gale we were passing over the deepert water, extending a distance of 45 miles. The whole of this time cabins and berths (deck) were washed through, and cooking was out of the question. However, all were too anxious about the cable to think of such small inconveniences. About the very height of the gale the Desperate hoisted the signal, ‘" The barometer indicates fine weather," and shortly after, in truth, the wind began to abate, and by evening t ha I quite fallen, and though for some tines the sea ran very high, we were entirely relieved from our arxteties. "From this time all went smoothly, the seather con tinuing fire up to the last. "On Monday, the 16tb, at da3 light, we sighted Maii tima far to the northwarl, and von after the ecast of Sicily ; at sunset we were c ff On Tuesday otorning Ger) was in sight, and in the afternoon the Admiralty tug Hearty came out to welcome ua, with qr. Andrews, superint.ndent of the Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company, on hoard, to suggest an alteration in the landing-p'ace. For the purpose of et.- .iding this, Newall went on board t'_e Desperate to sec nloitre, having previously arranged signals for tho Eiba to stet r by, and her ,peed was reduced as mucb as possible. In consequence of the change we did not come to au anchorage till about 9 o'clock, instead of before dark, as we had calcula'ed on. The distance from shore was about three-quarters of a mile, and the op ration of landing the end in the dark was somewhat tedious, it being necessary to examine and mark out the entree cat - eft:l'ly. About 4 o'clock the end of the cable was landed amidst the cheers of our men and the Fa lors, who appeared as will pleased a•t ourselves with ihJ euc• cessfol termination of our labours. " During the voyage a constant communication was kept np with C.sgltari, and the cable was te►ted every quarter hour. It was also immediately on landing ested, and the insulation ascertained to be very good. " Messrs. L filer and Vieobelmann, in the employ. meet of Meser4. Siemens and Halske, cf Perlin, by whom the beautiful instrument, supplied to us were con etructed, have made a series of eelctrical experiments which we believe will be extremely valuable for future operations. These gentlemen also instructed the work. ing of the instruments during the whole voyage, and go on with U 3 to Corfu. " Since our arrival we have been engaged in complet ing the !and line, for which the assistance of a party of .appers and miner 3 has been kindly granted to Colonel Crawley, RE. In the meantime a temporary office is established in one of the military huts at St. GeLrge's Bay where the cable is landed. " We can scarcely express tie lively sense of gratitude we entertain towards the Governor, Sir W. Reld, Admiral Lord Lyons, and General Sir John Pennefather, for the kind manner in which they have aided us by their autho rity in all we have had to do to get through our work. " The gregale has been blowing with great violence since Friday morning, 21st init., but has now atased, and we leave this for Corfu to--norrow mot ning." The public must have experienced, at one time or another, the great difficulty and loss of time io selecting a really useful article, at a moderate price, for presenta tion. Parkin s and Gotto, of Oxford-street, have set an example which it would be well for others to follow. They have four large showrooms, open to the public, for the display of articles which are admirably adapted for presents upon any occasion. No eff.rt is made to attract admiration by superb lookin,g-glasse4 and costly gilding. On the contrary, this needless outlay has hews studiously avoided ; but the visitor is at once struck with the immense stock (of the value of many thousands of pounds), selected with excellent taste. Here are con venient travelling-bags and dres , ing-cases, fitted in the most complete manner ; beautiful specimens of Morocco and Russian cases ; splendid buhl, papier macl.6, and elegantly-mounted inkstands ; bibles, prayer-books, church services, b .und in pearl, tor oise-rhell, oak, &c. —in fact, an endless variety of artistic treasure/ ' OR terms surprisingly moderate.

This class of securities, although not immediately convertible. it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company arc collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos sible contingency. Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and increased tr.an time to time, at the convenience of depositors.

ARETIRED PHYSICIAN, whose sands of life have nearly run out, discovered while in the East Indies a certain cure for Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and General Debility. The remedy was discovered by him when his only child, a daughter, was given up to die. Ile had heard much of the wonderful restorative and healing qualities of prepara tions made from the East India Hemp, and the thought occurred to him that he might make a remedy for his child. He studied hard, and succeeded in realising his wishes. His child was cured, and is now alive and well. He has since administered the wonderful re medy to thousands of sufferers in all parts of the world, and he has never failed in making them completely healthy and happy. Wishing to do as much good as possible, he will send to such of his afflicted fellow beings as request it, this recipe, with full and explicit direc tions for makin it up and successfully using it. He requires each applicant to enclose him six stamps —one to be returned as postage on the recipe, and the remainder to be applied to the payment of this advertisement; Address to 11. James, 31.
