♦ BPIICIAL EDITION of ths " RXPILESS,*
eintsialag the results of the day's RYAS, is pub-
lished every evesing daring ths Sporting Beason, at
six o'skiek.

TIM necessity of at once establishing a telegraphie
communication with India was so strongly felt by the
public, and the claims of the rival lines were so
actively urged by their several partl.ana, that it was
seriously proposed ia some quarters to cut what
maned to be a Gordian knot by making both limo—
that by the Euphrates Valley to Hurrachee, and that
by the lied Sea to the same point. The Government
seemed bewildered, and between the two stools there
wee evident danger that the Indian Telegraph would
fall to the ground. For ourselves, we looked upon
the Euphrates line ea practically lapomible —in the
present state of affairs at any rate ; and were convinced
that it WY highly imyrubable, eves were it laid
down, that communications could be maintained by it

with any degree of certainty. We were inclined to
the opinion of a shrewd Damsacene, who was asked
what would be the effect of the establishment of the
line. When the machinery of telegraphic comma-
elation was explained to him, he replied " Ma-
" shallah it is very wonderful. Bat iron wire would
soon be cheap in the vicinity of your posts and
" wires, and the camels would bring fewer French
" nails from Scs.ndercon." With great satisfaction,
therefore, we learned that at length Oovernment had
decided on giving such practical support to the Red
Sea line as would ensure the raising of the necessary
capital for carrying it into execution. By the con-
tract with the Company the State guarantees to the
shareholders four-and-a-half per cent. on so much of
the capital of 800,0001. as may be called up ; or, in
the event of the Company being unable to complete
or maintain the lies, undertakes to take it off their
hands, reimbursing them the stun expended, with
four-antle-lialf per cent. interest. These terms are
in soma quarters considered too favourable ; some
people maintain that a smaller guarantee would have
sufficed ; but, looking at the enormous importance of
the undertaking to the nation at large, we are not
disposed to cavil about 4,0001. per annum, more or
lees, being has irded for its schierement.
_ .

The line to Alexandria will be completed during
the present autumn, and the Rid Sea and India
Telegraph Company propene to online this line
through the Straits of liab-el-Wandel to Kurrachee,
making, however, for the present, the first section
only as far as Aden. It will be remembered that
one of the great objections urged against this route
was the impossibility of laying a cable in the Red
Sea, or of keeping it in a serviceable condition. It
was, therefore, with great eatanishment that
we read the report of Captaia PULLIC4, of the
Cyclops, that, in his opinion, "no place can be
" better adapted for laying a telegraphic cable
" than the Red Sta." If experience prove
this opinion to be well founded, we hardly know in
what terms to describe those who, in maintaining
that the cable would be eat to pieces, either per-
verted the facts from interested motives, or indulged
in the wretched vanity of maintaining an opinion
without accurate data whereon to base it. We can-
not forget that it is the discussion of such points as
these that has left us, in one of the most critical
periods of our history, without the means of availing
ourselves of the aid of science to procure more rapid
information as to what was going on in India, at a
time when its attainment was of vital importance,
and might save or lose thousands of valuable lives.
It is another feather in the cap of Lord Delay that
he has come to a decision on a subject which seemed
to have paralysed the faculties of his predecessors in
office, and that at length we are in a fair way oi see-
ing a great national want supplied.
In selecting the Red Sea Line, we believe that
many important advantages are secured which in
the rival project are totally wanting. The Euphrates
line, until completed to Hurrachee, would have been
comparatively medals; for lee doubt if the half
savage people through whose district it would
run would have made much use of it at
the intermediate points between Aleppo and
its eastern terminus, except in the mode
pointed out by our Damascene ; at any rate
no use could be made of it until the railway
was completed and opened for traffic, which we
apprehend will take place about the next Greek
Atka& Nor do we see in what way the
safety of the wires and of the staff outplayed
se the line was to be provided for. The Sumas
would doubtless do his best to protect them,
but the value of that protection can be 'Gaily
measured. In the spring of the present year the
caravan with the gifts sent by the SCLTAN to the
shrine of the Prophet at Mecca was plundered by
the Arabs on the road to Damascus, and the SCLTAN
bad nothing better to do than to send fresh pre-
sents by another route, and compensate the pilgrims
who had been pillaged. By the Red Bea nate, at
any rate, the cable is under oar own surnilleace,
..nd if the SULT to be unable to protect it we can pro-
tect it ourselves. The Arabs may perhaps attempt to
Injure it at some of the stains, but they are not
likely to flak it op from the deep; and the damage is
consequently easy to repair, fee it lies on the great
high road of the Indian traffic. The distances be-
tween the various station' an also convenient, mu-
tinies the laying and repairing or replacing the
sable a work of little difficulty, besides supplying at
nom, es the works proceed, a mean. of rendering it
of practical utility before the w►ole line is laid
down. The stations and their dinners from each
ether are as follows :

SO that the first section asespriees nearly half of the
whole distance. As a profitable oewiturcial specs-
lation, its gamma would have been too uncertain to
attract capital ; but as a Goverainsat Guaranteed
Four-and-a-Half per Cent Stock it is cortain to be
high in popular favour; and when the Sues Canal
is earriad oat, we eaanot doubt that it will rapidly

gelato. The beam' Goverement, it is troo—probably
bit the sake of maintaining the traditional character
Of the party it reprommta for clinging to' obsolete

ideas and for being in arrear elf thasmonhes quietly
adopted the platitudes uttered by Led PAutaanwr
on this question. But we cannot appals that as
blind a policy can be long persisted in, and that, for
the sake of nursing an old woman's dream of exclu-
sion, the Government can be allowed not only to
eked out all Europe from the most convenient road
to the Indian Sea, but also to deprive ourselves of the
maw of speedy communication with India, on which
tilaea•intenanoe of our power in that country will in
all probability depend. Were any illustration required
Ile the folly of reducing the traffic on the Red Sea
to its lowest possible amount, the recent outbreak
at Jeddah naturally presents itself; and the latest
sews from Alexandria describes Cairo as being in the
greatest excitement, in consequence of rumours that
a fleet of boats, manned by Arab fanatics, was
advancing on Suez, and that they were to be joined
by others on land is making an attack on the Chris-
tians. Could such a rumour have even existence
were the Isthmus of Sues and the Rod Sea the high
road of the commerce of the East? and would not the
coast of Arabia become as safe for commercial pur-
poses as that of Syria ? It is to be hoped that the
completion of the telegraphic line to Aden may do
something towards rendering commerce more active.
At any rate it will keep us well informed as to
what is passing of • threatening nature in the
stronghold of Mahometan fanaticism.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FRAN Ora OWN 001111111.031DIXT.)
PARIS, TCLIDAT ETININII.

The Emperor, the Empress, and their suite left St.
Cloud this morning at half-past 9, for Caen, on their
way to Cherbourg. The imperial train left the
station of the Rue d'Amsterdam at 9 o'clock, convey-
ing Count de Chasseloup•Lanbat, Baron Benoit-
d'Azy, Viscount Duchate), M. Emile Pereira, M.
Lalfitte, M. Deleesert, M. Daily, and M. Simons,
directors of the Western Railway; M. Lamperiare,
manager of the working ; and M. Coindart, the secre-
tary. A few privileged persons had also obtained the
favour of travelling in some of the carriages. Oa the
arrival of the train at St. Cloud, a short pause ensiled,
after which their Majesties took their places in one
of the imperial carriages, accompanied by Marshal
Valliant and M. Rouher, Ministers of War and
Public Works (Count Walewski, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and Admiral Hamelin, Minister of
Marine, had gone the day before); the Princess
d'Easling, Countess de Labedoyere, and Countess de
Lonrmel, ladies of honour to the Empress; Generals
Fleury and Niel, first equerry and aide•de-camp to
his Majesty; and the other personages appointed to
form part of the imperial suite. The train then took
its departure, a short stay having to be made at
Mantes, Evreux, and Lisieux, at each of which
places there is to be a reception of the authorities
and principal inhabitants. The calculation made
was that their Majesties would arrive at Caen about
live in the evening, but the probability is that,
owing to the incidents of the journey, the hour will
be later.

Immediately before leaving Bt. Cloud their
Majesties attended mass in the private chapel, the
Archbiahop of Paris officiating.
A bronze table, upon which is engraved an inscrip-
tion commemorating the visit which their Majesties

will pay to the Bretagne, was sent to Cherbourg this
morning, to be placed on board that vessel.
. .

Several packages have been sent to Auray, con-
taining rich gifts to be presented by the Empress to
the chapel of St. Anne.
M. l)elangle, Minister of the Interior, has ad-
dressed a circular to the prefects of departments on
the subject of the late law on the false assumption
of titles of nobility. He particularly recommends
them to pay strict attention that the funotionaries
whose business it is to deliver passports do not insert
in those documents titles to which the persons ap-
plying are not legally entitled. In order to verify
their allegation the persons using those titles are to
be accompanied by two witnesses to identify
them, and they may be also called on to pro-
duce an extract from the register of their birth.
The minister concludes by recommending prudence
and discernment to the agents of authority, so that
the precautions prescribed may not have the ap-
pearance of vexations or inquisitorial proceedings.
The Petrie, being "of those who do not fear to
pronounce certain names," and feeling altogether
above that " false disdain which is often a cloak for
false (qy.) terror," feels not the " lout embarrass-
ment" in announcing the fact that the Count de
Chambord is (at Cologne, and that several French
legitimists have gone there to see him. It regards
these legitimist pilgrimages as an affair of sentiment,
and nothing else, and congratulates itself that the
imperial government is strong enough to regard
with indifference a demonstration similar to that of
Belgrave-square, which caused great anxiety to the
" family usurpation " of July. As a " party," it
considers the legitimists to represent nothing bat
revolutionary pretension', bu' it desires to pay
homage to the social influence of the old
legitimate families, who are a very impor-
tant support to " one of the most necessary
elements in the government of a people, the prin-
ciple of authority." It sets off against the
legitimists who have gone to the Rhine, those who
remain at home labouring in the councils general
and municipal councils, and whoso sons serve their
country in the army. Under another signature the
Patrie alludes to a rumour that M. Guizot is going
to Cologne, and expresses a belief that he is too
serious and too honourable a man to take such a
step."
The Bourse, now that the settlement is over, has
relapsed into its chronic state of dullness. The
Rents fell sc. for cash, and rose 15c. for account,
closing at 68fr. 20c. and 68fr. 40c. Mobilier fell
7fr. 50c. The Eastern railway fell sfr. ; Southern,
3fr. 75c. ; and Western, 2fr. 500. Northern and
Lyons remain without change.
The Presets says, in its weekly commercial review:
A great sassy commission-agents have visited Paris this
week to make purchase ; our masufscturers have, however,
been obliged to submit to reductions In order to elbot sales.
The Americans seem disposed to do business, but they gene.
rally ask for longer credit than is readily granted, and attempt
to beat down prime to a point which would entail a positive
km upon the seller. The Russians are now more liberal
customers ; since the last treaty of commerce our trade with
Russia has visibly improved. At Roubaix, Terming, and
Lille, business Is rather duller than it was, purchasersnot being
any longer looking after goods for the summer season. and
the period for laying in winter stock not having yet mired. In
most other manufacturing towns, however, there is quite as
much doing as can be expected at this time of the year. Raw
materials of all kinds and colonial produce are rising in price.
Stocks are low everywhere. The groat question of the mo-
ment Is the result of the hermit, as to which the reports are,
as usual, conflicting. We think, however, it may safely be
Inferred from all the sooonnie taken together that the crop,
although not equal to that of 1857, will turn out to be above
an average.

The annual election of the council of the order of
advocates took pl►ce to-day. MM. Marie, Berryer,
Bethmont, Plooque, Lionville, Lacan, Leblond, Jules
Fevre, Leon Duval, Allow, Deemarets, Geary,
Cremieux, Templler, Desboudets, Lachand, Landrin,
Coignes, Rivolet, Paillard de Villeneuve, and Thu-
rgau were elected. M. Mane, who is at the head of
the poll, is the eminent jurist who was a member of
the provisional government of 1848, and it is a
curious fact that almost all the others Sr. also re-
publicans. M. Berryer, the legitimist, is an excep-
tion. The council will proceed next week to the
election of a luttonnier for the year.
The Princess Csartoryska, daughter of Queen
Christina, was confined yesterday. The child (it is
not stated whether it is a girl or a boy) is the only
grandchild of the former President of the Govern-
ment of Poland.

The three Murillo' lately purchased by the State,
of the executors of Marshal Soult, for the sum of
300,000 fr., were taken to the Louvre to-day, and will
be hung by the side of the celebrated Madonna, by
the same master.

PAWS, WIDNESDLY.

The Emperor and Empress arrived at Mantes,
and were received by the Perfect of the Seine and
Oise and the other authorities. They wen raptur-
ously applauded by the people.
At Evrenz, their Majesties proceeded to the Pre-
fecture in the midst of cries of " Vive PE:ape/war!"
Vivr l'lmperatrice !" " Vire le Prince Imperial!"
Their entry into Caen was a veritable ovation.
The coreige traversed the town, which was wholly
illuminated and with splendid decorations.
At nine o'clock at night their Majesties were
entering the Hotel de Ville, to assist at the public
ball given there,—Port (Second Edition).
