THE EXPRESS, TRI7RSD,

confidence in the present cable, and the
reasons on which he treed that want of
eanfidence, in our loans}... is
have led him to the conclusion the t
cable is fu too heavy to be w.
When the greater portion o • t as
made it was lighter that any previmsllrnott.
Its deceased weight was nut, however, carried out
far enough. Mr. LONOP.IDOE prefers the cable of Mr.
ALLEN, which is but little heavier in the sea than
the volume of water it displaces. The conducting
material in the centre of the coil is the strength of
the cable ; it has no 'steml metallic coating. It is
strong enough for every purpose (as is asserted), and
so light that one ship could carry the whole length
of cubic required to unite the two worlds, sod thus
all danger of a mid-ocean splice might be avoided.

We have mentioned these mathematical deduci-
flop., and the existence of a cable which fulfils them,
in no spirit of hostility to the inventors of the
present cable. We wish the renewed attempt most
heartily a ottoman' termination. Should it be un-
successful, however, there are still resources left,
and the solution of the great problem of the age will
not be rendered improbable by the failure of the pre-
sent scheme.

Should it be successful, it can hardly be supposed
that the exigencies of commerce can be met by a
single line of communication. lo either case we may
lice to see the mathematical theory of Mr. LONG-
RIDGE and the cable of Mr. ALLEY tested by
experience.

If these, too, should fail, remembering the story
of Barcr and the spider, we doubt not the enter-
prising spirits of both the Old and New World will
not rest till the teak is accomplished. Indeed, we
should not be surprised if we have to take a lesson
from the spider in the construction of its cable as Well
as from its perseverance. The spider is the best rope-
maker known. Its cable is both the lightest and
the strongest made in nature. It twists not its
strands, but lays them parallel. Thin though its
cable may be, it contains some five thousand threads
laid side by side. If we take a hint from its skill it
may even be more valuable than the lesson derived
from its perseverance.

OUDE.

No event of special importance has occurred is
Oude since the date of the Jut telegram. The rebels
are pursuing the policy of harassing and plundering
those who show themselves friendly to our cause,
and this, doubtless, prevents many from coming
forward openly and siding with us who are inclined
to do so. The Kapoorthella Rajah of the Jul.
lundur Nab has arrived :with about 1,200 infantry
and 6,000 cavalry, and will be employed in the
first instance in establishing order in the Poorwa
district.

NORTILWESTERN PROVINCES, BENARES

DIVISION.

A band of plunderers, in the Joudpore district,
have been surprised by Rajah Mohesh Naram, and
their leader, Phullee Sing, for whose capture a oon-
siderable reward had been offered, was killed, with
some others. Ohazeepore is again threatened by
Cramer Sing's party, who have been driven oat of
the Jugdespoor jangle by Sir E. Lugard. They
have burnt several of the railway bungalows in the
Ghazeepore district, on the right bank of the Ganges,
and they are now said to be at Ghummur, in the
Arrah district, where they are collecting boats for
the purpose of crossing the Ganges and attacking
Ghazeepore. On the 7th the Tahseel of Mahome-
debar], 12 miles east of Ohsseepore, was attacked
and plundered. Colonel Cumberlege, with her
Majesty's 97th and part of the 4th Madras Cavalry,
is protecting Ohazeepore, and Sir R. Lugard is
moving up ia the rear of the rebels.
