Mr. 00N1NOHAM wished to ask the noble lord
whether he could give the hoses any information with
rag: rd to the submarine telegraph which had been laid
down between Malta and Alexandria.

Lord C. PACET said, in answer to the question of the
hon. gentleman (Mr. Coningham), that the Admiralty had
nothing to do with the telegraphic cable between Malta
and Alemadris. In answer to the other question, he begged
to my that, on the 6th of April, 1860, Mr. Piggott applied
for permienion to lay down a telegraphic wire from Porta.
mouth Dockyard to the Isle of Wight. The Admiralty
objected to a line being laid across the harbour of Ports-
mouth, but gam him leave to lay one down between Afoot..
stoke and the Woof Wight. Mr. Piggott afterwards wrote to
the Admiralty, not a report, but a mere announcement that
the line had been laid down ; but the Admiralty had
nothing to do with the submarine telegraph at all, and
therefore no answer boyood a mere acknowledgment of the
letter was required.

SIR BALDWIN WALKER.

Lord C. PAGET TriZeditTinfOriili73l;oube that the
Avon had bow sent out that morning to endeavour to in-
tercept Sir Baldwin Walker in the Narcissus. (A laugh.)
Sir J. PAKINGTON—After the statement made by
the noble lord, I wish to ask whether it is true that no
telegram was sent from the Admiralty until half•past eleven
o'clock today; and second)y, whether the Avon is not
reckoned one d the slowest akips in ber Majesty's service!
Lord C. PAGET—It is perfectly true that the orders to
the Avon way only sent out this morning ; but it must be
rausembered that the Avon started from Davenport, and
we have none of Sir Baldwin Walker having put out to ma
from Yarmouth roads, where he had taken shelter yesterday
nicanieg if cossequeoce of the gale. It is, therefore, quite
possible that the Avon may succeed in cutting him off.

SOUTHWARK,

A respectable-looking man named Richard Car, was
charged with stealing wood belonging to his employers,
Messrs. Jeffs and Co., oarpenteis, Stanifonl-street.
Sergeant Leogridge, 10 L, said he saw the prisoner
and a little girl, whom be ascertaieed to be his daughter,
leave the prosecutors' premien with several planks,
some of which were joined together with glue and
planed smooth. Witness stopped them, and asked
the prisooer what he was going to do with the
wood. He replied that he was going to take it
to a job. Hs, however, did not believe him, but took
him back to the ton' premises, when it was ascer-
tained that he had not only stolen the planks, but had
made them up in his meters' time. Witness took him
into custody, mad afterwards searched his house, when be
found part of a new drafter made up, and the wood found
on the prisoner was to complete it. He also ascertained
that the prisoner had directed his daughter to call at the
workshop and carry the wood from his masters' premises to
his own house.

-J;fliTidentifirod the wood as his property. The pri-
ooner bad been some time in the employ of the firm at good
wages, and they heretofore hollered him honest.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, end

graceful robbery, and be should not be doing his duty unless
he punished him severely. He therefore sentenored him to
six mouths' bard labour.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

The Paris Patric receives from London the fol-
lowing information, which it state; to be " new" :
"If the answer to the English nate should not
be favourable, Lord Lyons will leave Washington
in three days and will transmit the orders of his
government to Admiral Milne, who will in that
case immediately leave Jamaica with his squadron
to take up • position at Norfolk, a Virginian
port on the confines of Carolina, which
will be the basis of the English naval operations.
France, we are assured, will maintain an attitude
of armed neutrality. Admiral Milne will leave at
Havannah a division of frigates, destined to take
part in the operations against Mexico. Seven
ships of war, recently armed, have already started
one after the other for the Antilles, and it is
thought that all the vessels ordered to reinforce
Admiral Milne will be at Jamaica from the 25th to
the 30th of December. In case the Washington
cabinet should surrender the prisoners taken from the
Trent, that affair will, of course, be settled ; but •
new question will then be raised by Lord Lyons,
viz., whether the bloekade of the Southern ports
is effective, and negotiations upon this point will
be actively carried on. These negotiations will be
of a very different character from the first, for they
will bear upon a question affecting the commercial
interests of all the powers."
The Pattie also says :
"On the 7th inst. the following vessels of the
French navy were at anchor in the New York
roadstead :—The steam frigates Bellune and Po-
mona, the steam corvettes Catinat and Gassendi,
and the steam aviso SurcouL Other French vessels
of war will shortly be sent there."

THE KING OF PRUSSIA AND HIS
SPEECHES.

Thespian& which has been imputed to the King of
Prussia, as his reply to the clergy of Letzlingeu, and
the authenticity of which is denied by the telegram
of yesterday, is totally different in spirit front
that made by his Majesty to the inhabitants of
the town at the railway statin. The latter is
similar to several other discourses made of late by
his Majesty on the subject of the elections ; an
ass it was published on the authority of the burgo-
master by the King's desire, there can be no doubt
that it is genuine. The apocryphal speech re-
ferred to by the telegraph is thus reported by the
Jima: &Stung :
At the reception of the clergy the King said that Is the
past waver, after the attempt at Bad,en, be received the
meet Isochieg proofs of the love and alt./awe of Ms people,
sad cm his joeeoey through the country he was received
from MID end to tbe other with unceasing revereuse. What,
I however, had become of the mu kg of devotion whin\ had
followed the ougeilkent solemnity of the ononation? The
people had answered by the elections in the wont possible
way. Yee had been sent to Berlin who had been sentenced
as political offender, sod had only received permission to
return by the amnesty.
According to this report the King concluded
with the following words :
My basis will, however, be the same, and wOl be Melo.
Wad I have received my crown from the altar sad how
ths bands of God. I thank God that I ?now full well I
ban received the crown by God's grace. It has descended
to me through a line of glorious snessiors, soil I well m-
own it.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROX 00ft ow, OORILLYPONDILVT.)
PARIS, FRMAT EVX:111(0.

It may be fairly taken for granted that the ex- I
traordinary letter, cited by the huMpenitlatice Beige
from a Paris pamphlet, "L'Emperenr Napoleon
et le Roi Guillaume," as having been written by
the Emperor to the King, at a date unknown, is a
genuine one. Although the pamphlet was pub-
lished in Paris four days ago, not a word is
breathed in any official quarter against the authen-
ticity of the letter. It shows that the Emperor
dues affect to have treated privately with the King
of Prussia of important political questions at
Baden Baden, and that he wished to renew discus-
sion with him unfettered by " diplomacy " at
Compihtfue.
A letter from Geneva, dated yesterday, states
that M. Thouvenel has peremptorily disavowed the
libellous article in the Coastatitionuel which has
justly caused so much sensation in Switzerland.
But the French minister refuses to put the dis-
avowal in the Monikur, and it does not even ap-
pear that the Ceastitutiopiad will be visited with a
rouonnaignel. This is not satisfactory, because
everybody knows that the Onistifutionad, which
has no opinions of its own, would never have run
its head against such a post unless it supposed itself
to be sufficiently prompted. In the present aspect
of affairs it only appears as if the French govern-
ment had said something rash which it cannot
stand to.

DENMARK.

The Dagblad publishes a long article on the

many towards a German fleet. The Danish journal
thinks there is not much reason to apprehend the
creation of a German naval force, but that Prussia
might increase her strength iu this direction.
Denmark must, therefore, bring her fleet up to such
a point of efficiency as to be prepared for any
movement that Prussia may attempt.

THE MARTYR OF THE RUGBY ROMANCE.

It Las been a matter of surprise to us from
the very commencement of the proceedings known as the
" Rugby Romance" that little or no allusion was made to
the child's state art? health. After reading of the sensation
crested in court by the appearance of the poor little sufferer,
with his head enveloped in lint and bandages, and his leg in
splints, the public naturally looked for some medical tes-
timony or report of the case; but nothing more was
heard of the little fellow. Having recently rectived
some information as to his state, we feel called upon to
lay before our readers the following facts :—lt appears
that notwithstanding the statement at first put forth, to
the effect that the child was a "fine healthy child,"
this soon turned out to be incorrect; on the contrary,
shortly after its discovery such a train of symptoms bepn
to manifest themselves, as clearly to show that the child's
constitution bad suffered materially in consequence of the
poverty, neglect, and injurious influences to which it had
been so long subjected. The child was brought back from
Brussels, and placed under the care of Dr. Scott, of Upper
Woburn-place, Russell-square. It appears that this gentle-
man found the little fellow much emaciated and debilitated,
and with marked indications of tuberculosis or scrofulasis.
There were disordered bowels, tympanitic abdomen, signs of
an enlarged mesentery, enlarged glands of the neck, pustular
eruptions behind the ears, blotches on different parts of the
body, and animal and vegetable parasites infesting the scalp.
One of the lower limbs was found in a very weakly and
deformed condition, and was placed in bandages and splints.
It since turns out that the poor little fellow got his femur
fractured. Although much improved since first placed
under Dr. Scott's care, he may still be said to be in a pre.
carious condition, as might naturally be expected from the
complication of evils to which this poor child was exposed.

tilated only by the stagnant atmosphere of the dark alley

TRADE ON THE COAST, ko.

Palm oil was rather plentiful on the rivers and on the
cease. but the prices still continued to keep up very high.
The health in the
.Bights, on the west coast, was, accord-
ing to the latent minces, very good. Strong sea breezes and
very cold weather had been experienced in Bonny River for
' ten weeks • in fact such as, in the memory of the oldest
trailers, have never been known before.
At Sierra Leone and Bathurst (river Gambia) there had
also been a continuance of very heavy rains. At Bathurst
many cases of fever had textured, but only two proved
fatal. The natives at Lagos and the surrounding neigh-
bourhood were very quiet. Her Majesty's ship Prometheus
was still inside the liar. The Buffalo was to proceed up
the Niger to render assistance to the war steamer &pew
and the exploring steamship Sunbeam—both of which
vessels were prevented getting down the river on account
of the lowness of the waters.

Speaking of the growth of cotton on the coast, the Writ
African Herald says :—" We are certainly not doing much
towards cotton planting yet; and, in spite of some en-
couragement and earnest recommendation from parties in.
tweeted in the welfare of this country, we do not think
much will be done till capital comes forward. Our native
farmers who are rich enough will not engage in the cul-
tivation of a new article, for which there does not, in
fact, seem to he a demand. Why do these farmer' grow
core, yams, Plantains, peppers, fruits? Why du they culti.
rate the palm tree ? Simply because they know that their
palm oil, peppers, corn, yams, fruits, he, find a ready and
onastant sale. Bat what merchant asks for cotton! Who
says to the farmer - "There are 1001. on credit for you. Go,
grow cotton and part roe with it at so much per pound."
But this is done to tbase who will bring palm oil, or corn,
or gold dust ; and until it is done in respect of cotton, none
will be grown—that is to say, not enough for exportation.
In the eastern district theme is prngteaa being made in the
cultivation of coffee, and we are glair to learn that the plan-
tations are doing well. The harvest this yew bas realised
out expectations, being better than usual"

TUN KING OF BONNY.

The brig Bewlch, with Poppet, King of Bonny,
his wife and suite, arrived at Bonny on the
20th August, after a lung and tedious voyage.
On the arrival of the Athenian at Bonny, the
purser, Mr. Le Brun Corric, and two of the
passengers went on board the brig, to pay
their respects to their Majesties. They found the
King bitting in his state room, dressed in an
admiral's undress uniform, surrounded by secretary
and clerks. He was in very good health, and
seemed glad when once more in sight of the shores
of Bonny. The Queen still adhered to the English
, style of dress—being enveloped in au enormous
crinoline, and a "Kiss-me-quick" bonnet. Sbe
was invited on board the Athenian to dinner, and
gladly accepted the invitation ; but towards even-
ing, to the great astonishment of those on board,
she refused to leave the steamer, it being, she said,
" too comfortable." After much expostulation and
a great deal of " palaver," the officers of the
Athenian, with the assistance of six Kroomeu (for
the Queen weighs about 17 stone), succeeded in
lowering her Majesty into a boat, and sent her on
board to her husband about two a.m.
_ _

The King had not landed up to the time of
the departure of the mail, and it wait then uncer-
tain when it would be safe for him to do so. Three
out of the four Regents, who have ruled the coun-
try during the King's absence in England, are
agreeable to his landing, and once more resuming
the government of the country, provided he be
satisfied with the cowries or revenues of the place
—which amount to about 7,0001. per annum—and
not trade. Those who are against his reigning as
king are principally people of his own house. Pre-
parations have been, and aro still making on a
large scale for a war ; but as the natives never let
the white men know their real intentions, one can-
not positively assert whether they will fight or not.
The white traders had applied to the senior
officers of the Bights for a gunboat to be kept in
the river until such time as King Peppel shall have
landed and been crowned King ; and also for the
protection of their ships and property.
On the let September a very extensive conflagra-
tion broke out in Bonny, and destroyed half of
the houses in the town, and a large quantity of
powder and rum. A new house, the principal one
in the town, the property of Ocho Sumbo,
was destroyed, besides several of his canoes, which
were moored alongside of his wharf. He did
not save a single article, and before he could go on
board any of the ships in the river he was obliged

in England who have known Ocho in Bonny will
regret to hear of biz loss, as he is a native who is
very much respected by all who have ever bad
dealings with him.
' The friends of the women who went with the
King of Bonny—one as a lady in waiting to the
Queen, the other as teacher—will, no doubt, be
glad to hear that they intend returning in the
Bewlch, being satisfied that Bonny is not a fit
place for any respectable white woman to live in.

Au imperial decree published by the Mina teur
enacts that, from the 15th of this month to the
30th of September, 1862, corn, flour, rice, potatoes,
and pulse, conveyed on rivers and canals, shall be
freed from all internal navigation duties paid to
government ; also, that foreign vessels conveying
cargoes of such articles shall be exempt from the
same duties. This is not one of the matter-of-
course decrees, carrying out the commercial treaty,
but a new measure, destined to lessen the pressure
of the present distress by facilitating the distribu-
tion of food.

Having promulgated, on the strength of the
detailed statement of the Araterecuin of Brest,
the extraordinary assertion that Prince Napoleon
made the passage from Boston to Brest in seven
days, I shall uot fail to record the exact truth as
soon m I can get at it. But truth, contrary to strict
commercial theories, is in this country an article
at once rare and little prized. Some papers now
say that the passage was made in nine days, and
others in eleven, but the dates of his departure
from Boston and arrival at Brest, aa given by the
Armoricain, namely Sept. 30, and Oct. 7, are notyet
corrected.

The Bourse has been dull without any peculiar

little effect on the market. It is supposed, how-

further accommodation from Germany. Rente

railways there was little variation.

THE OUTRAGE ON A LADY IN DUBLIN.

ARREST OF A CABMAN.

DUBLIN. FRIDAY.

At an inspection of cabmen that took place this
morning at the Lower Castle Yard. before the commis•
skaters of police, a man named John Curran was taken into
custody, and will be brought before the magistrates to-
morrow. It is poaitively statedthat be was ideutiliedby the
lady in question and another important witness.
Another account says :—"The papers contain paragraphs
on the arrest of the cabman, whose name is John Curran.
He has been positively identified by the young lady, and
be is now in custody. The identification bee to some extent
been strengthened by another party, whom it is unnecessary
to name at present. The cabman who is now in custody
was &Mug for a female proprietor. and gave, after identi-
fication, when questioned by the police, quite a different
account to that which be gave his employer as to his where-
iihouts on the night in question. He was taken to Chan-
cerylsne, and will be brought up to-morrow."

NAPLES.

NAPLES, MAT 7.
My latest report of the state of Mr. Blandford's
health, the gentleman who was assaulted in the
Riviera di Culaja, is that he is dying. The com-
missary of police, who is charged with the investi-
gation of the case, reports that 40 persons have been
arrested in several quarters. It will be almost impos-
sible, however, to obtain any result, as Mr. Blandford
has been from the first too ill to make any deposition.
Mr. Barber, our consul gamut, has demanded of the
prefect of police that a reward be offered publicly
for the apprehension of the guilty parties, and a free
pardon to any one compromised who will denounce
the person who gave the blow. The authorities are
doing all they can, I believe, under the circum-
stances to discover the guilty parties.
The Centaur has left Naples on another cruise.
P.B. Mr. Blandford has just died.

Larrrin the frigate, charged with a special mission to the

American consuls had just arrived at Irkutsk, by proceeding
op the Amcor. The complaints were very great there that
all gold and silver coin had 'milled from Siberia ; of the
silver it was known that Chins was the quarter to which it
had departed, in payment for tea, the Chinese now taking •
less quantity than formerly of Russian manufactures. From
Mischta on the frontier it was stated that, while very scull
quantities of goods were being received, huge quantities of
silver were arriving there by every conveyance.
