TEE ATLANTIC CABLE OF 186 G.

Captain Sherard Osborn presents his compli-
ments to the editor of the Express, and is happy to lay
that, by telegrams just received, he learns that the re.
pairs of the 1866 Atlantis Cable have been effected at s
distance of 88 miles from Hearts Content, in spite of
severe gales, which have consideraby delayed the opera.
tions of our staff under Sir Samuel Canning.

Commenting upon the death of Sir F. Bruce, tM
Times remarks:—" Within a period of four years the
nation has lost the services of three members of one
family, who were each endowed with eminent qualifier
tions foe the important work to which they several
devoted their lives. Lord Elgin died at Dhurmsala in the
autumn of 18113, from the effects of a short excursion in
the hills following closely upon an exhausting mos
in the plains of India. He was but just aqui*
an intimate knowledge of his duty se Viceroy,
when an affection of the heart deprived India
of a ruler of long experience and great Anil/.
General Bruce. a devoted servant of the Crown, died while
in attendance upon the l'rince of W,111251 ; 1111.1 now their
brother who had shared with Lord El_rin the labours of his
mission in China, and who excelled him in diplomatic
skill if he wax not his equal in geniality of dimpuaition,lia
also been removed in the prime of his life and in the heillt
of his usefulcess. It is but a few weeks since Sir Fmk.
rick Bruce was pressed by Mr. Seward to accompany hit
to bis home at Auburn, and he must afterwards have re
turned to Boston, where he has already vent a part of t!e
summer. There, apparently, he contracted the temga
malady which sometimes sends ins few hours the strocied
men to their graves."

Ten proteatants are returned at Banbridge fur
trial and for party processions. Two have ben
acquitted.
