ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The novelty presented to visitors this week, at this very beautiful place of resort, has, so far, been successful in attracting the attention of the public. Yesterday evening, there were perhaps more people on the grounds than on any day during the present season. We observe that, to-day, the vegetable show will supersede the floral and horticultural exhibition which, for the past two dais, has been so much admired. rit ° B PECTS OP THE MONEY MARKET.—In the Herald it atetated that an i ncr eased demand for money is becoming that be apparant, alth oug h th e t erms have not advanced ' Il i' 2 4 per cent.,—the Bank minimum. , Still, the re i,,nl of the app li cat i ons show that first-class paper can only Inore t °eca s ional cases be negotiated below that figure.

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH•COMPANY.—We have been requested by the secretary to this company to give publicity to the following 'statement as to the pre sent condition of the company : .___ This undertaking, in its relation to the original share holders, stands at the present moment very much in the position of ' a business of great value, for thg goodwill of arge sum which now rec further capital . _ cable has demonstrated the `alniost certain success which will . attend all future welldirected efforts, to submerge a telegraph across the Atlantic between Newfoundland and Ireland. The many important messages transmitted through the Atlantic cable, serve to illuStrate the great advantage of attempting to restore it to. working order, and show clearly the benefits to be derived, both by the nation and the shareholders, from the permanent establishment of such a means of communication. . The success, therefore, though partial, which has attended the company's first and most arduous step in their proceedin g s, must be baked upon as a great scientific triumph, out of which, here after, the most valuable commercial results will arise. Even the disappointment, which has at present overshadowed the original eateiprize, owing greatly to accidents and disasters most untoward and most unlikely to occur again, must not be looked upon as irreparable, until the company, by means of the capital now sought to be raised, has .had the opportunity of entering upon a skilful and properly organized effort :for the restoration of the existing cable. 'ell if such an effort prove fruitless, the quantity.of cable if own 1 n;nl,2;rl nn and criLl mill nriihnltly morn than nay the Cost of Making the . attempt, and the Undertaking will shares were eagerly sought after; on the contrary, the high principles on which the company, . has been ton:. ducted; its increased subsidies from Government ; the guarantee of fr per cent. ; the valuable traffic arrange- 'rnents in America ; the absolute necessity that rnessages probability of ot , stnining - a policy of insgra risk, of. submersion ; the Willingness, of 'th contractors to guarantee, underlarge penalties, even the due and proper working of the cable after it is laid • down these are elements of a new "and, valual3le, character, • which. :'rom i position, and render - it a very fair and promis ing investment, independent of its national features. No public undertaking of Similar novelty and import ance, has ever been at once so rapidly and successfully deve loped as the Atlantic Telegraph, and few have been brought into a similar position at a smaller prelithinary. cost, in pro portion to their magnitude. Jn the month ,of June, 1857, their enterprise was entirely untried, and its pos4bility gen erally disbelieved. In the month of August, 1858,, it had become a demonstrated faCt—unequalled in th e world' s history. The directors nre striving to the utmost, to profit by the ex- perienee which constant attention to the business of the com pany has enabled them to obtain. They have pledged them ., L - „,,+;1 thav -have losal before the most eminent seientiWa'authorities of the age and obtained their mature decision ; with' this. object they. securer tne warn. ... cordial co-operation of the following eminent gentlemen, who will form a Consulting committee t6inYestigate and ad vi .p the directors 'and the restiorisible''offi - ders of, the com- Pally, as other member FIRE AT.

The floating engines belonging , to that establishment, as well as tho — se of the London Brigade, were promptly on the. spot, and got- to work under the direction of 17.ngneer Morris, but the-fire was not subdued until) , ery, considerable darnagewas done. The hotels and lodging ; houses at Blackpool, in this county, are very busy, both , back and front. The beach cottages have been doing, a good business some two or three months, but not so in the rear and -back streets. The de: partures and arrivals being now much more uniform than in past years, we do not observe that 'pressure and crowding which was so uncomfortable to visitors as well as the lodging= house keepers.

Hutch inson and Earle, at Runcorn Gap, through the liberality of their employers, enjoyed their annual holiday and excursion. The fine passenger steamer Manchester, was chartered for the day, and placed at the disposal of the excursionists. At an early hour of the morning the workmen, to the number of 450, embarked, and the steamer, with her living freight, proceeded to Eastham, where her passengers landed. A field had been hired there, and, seated on its grassy slopes, the men partook of a plentiful breakfast, the viands con sisting of beef, and bread and cheese, and "good strong ale," with a provision of ginger beer for the teetotallers and younger portion of the pleasure-seekers. The dejeuner, though not exactly d la fourchette, or disposed of in a mode that would have received the approval of Beau Brummel, seemed, nevertheless, to be a_ source of hearty enjoyment, fice of human life, which has for some years happened in As, per laps, most of our readers wi remeniber, the and reminding one, from its primitive an a sastantial nature, of a baronial breakfast of mediaeval times. After its conclusion, various pastimes became the order of the day. In one place a group of 'aspiring atheletes emulated each other in agile wrestling and daring leaps.

Here, a circle enclosed a party engaged in a, game of rounders ; there, two or three wandered away, " deep in the fern," amongst the trees that skirted the field ; whilst, attracted by the music of a band which accompaL nied the expedition, an additional portion might be viewed dancing to to quote t ,onions strains and everywhere reigme ney were origin Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides set sal earlier portion of the day. The health and prospers the firm having been toasted with vociferous cheering, the men then embarked on board the steamer for a trip down the river, being joined for a short period at the great land- ing stage by .JOhn Hutchinson, - P,sq. and Oswald Earle, Esq., who were received with the most enthusiastic - welcome from the men and the loudest strains of the band.

Kellett and Powell, were reciprocated by the toast of the clerks and staff of the Liverpool offices, coupled with the name of Mr. Shape—the proposals and responses of the toasts being interspersed with songs, many of them in vocal power of no inartistic character. After spending a most pleasant and interesting day, the men arrived 'back at Runcorn Gap shortly after five o'clock. The exigencies of the works rendering it impossible that all the men could be spared at once, those who remained behind received an extra day's pay. It was impossible to survey the merry faces and contemplate the gratified looks of all who had shared the pleasures of the day without feeling that such excursions bring about a much better understanding by the employed, of the identity of their employers' interests with their own, and without breathing a portion of the spirit of N. P. Willis, the American poet, when he said— of an hour after the first discovery of the fire, these unfortunate individuals were seen running about in a state of frantic terror, with the certain prospect of a dreadful death, in one, or two ways, before them.

Two men, named respectively Thomas Seddon and Edward Jones, threw themselves from one of the windows on the south side into the area beneath, and although th ht F - large It stirs the blood in a good man's heart, And makes his pulses fly, " To catch the thrill of a happy voice, /ley were caug. .33 , a tarpaulin which was held to receive them, Seddon, who is a Very stout man, was killed on the spot, both his thighs being broken.
