THE DAY'S NEWS.

The usual weekly meeting of the West Derby
Guardians was held at the Workhouse yesterday.
The proceedings were confined to the adoption of
• the report of the Visiting committee, that steps be
. taken towards securing increased accommodation
for the inmates. Several members appear to be in
favour of erectinc, a new building. Others think
that that would' be a useless and unnecessary
expenditure
Those gentlemen interested in the completion
Of telegraphic communication with America had
yesterday an opportunity of hearing from Mr.
Field, of New York, the chief projector, a full
bxplanation of the arrangements entered into for
this iropot.tant purpose. A large number of gen-
tlemen accordingly attended the Underwriters%
Roetns, at one o'clock yesterday, when Mr. Field,
at great length, entered into the history of the
- Atlantic telegraph, how it came to be thought of,
and the steps that had been taken in the matter.
it would appear that already 242,000 miles of
telegraphic wire have been laid between St. John's
and the British North American section. They
had telegraphic communication from New
Orleans to St. John, Newfoundland, on the

American side, and from the uttermost por-
tion of Europe to the West Coast of Ireland,
consequently there is only about 1,900 miles of
wire to be laid. During the survey not one rock
was found in the soundings from Ireland to
° Newfoundland. As to the cost, Mr. Field said
that in all it would be under .C:350,000, and he had
no doubt it would amply repay all who entered
into the scheme. if all goes on well, the com-
munication, will, it is said, be in fair operation

towards the end of next summer.
Our readers will, from time to time, have had

their attention drawn to the antics of an attorney,
named Goodere. He is a regular attendant at the
police-courts, and gives the magistrates and others
infinite trouble, by his ungentlemanly behaviour.
It will be seen that Mr. Sands, yesterday, pro
tested against his way of doing business, and
threatened to take severe measures to compel him
to treat the court in a respectable manner. It is
to be hoped that Mr. Goodere will have the good
sense to pay attention to the bench, and not trifle
away their time with petty annoyances, which are
far beneath what shoulid emanate from an
4' attorney and a gentleman." We hope to hear no
more of such exhibitions as those of yesterday.
Their repetition aro getting quite offensive to all
. right thinking men.
The affairs of the defunct British Bank have

again been brought before the public. Yesterday,
at the Equity Court, before Vice Chancellor
Kindersly, Mr. Rolt appeared for the assignees
in bankruptcy in support of a motion which was
brought on exparte on Saturday last, having for
its object an injunction to restrain the official
manager from issuing any placards or advertise-
ments for the sale of the property of the bank,
and from proceeding with any actions against
creditors of the company. From the proceedings

it appeared that the official manager had some
130 0001 on hand, and was prepared to pay a divi-
dend at once of 7s to 8s in the pound to creditors,
who had proved under the bankruptcy to the
extent of some £200,000 ; but it also appears that
debts to the extent of some £550,000 had been
proved in Chancery. The Vice-Chancellor said, he
should decline making any order on the motion.
But, inasmuch, as no unnecessary or improper
expense ought to be incurred, he should direct
the chief clerk not to sanction the commencement
of a prosecution of actions, except in eases where
he might deem it necessary for the interest of all
parties that such actions should be brought. With
- regard to the placards and advertisements, he
would direct the official manager, that no more ad-
vertiseeients be issued, until the further order of
the court. By tills means the matter would remain
as nearly as possible in statu quo until the court
_ was enabled to give judgment on the pending
motions. The costs of this particular motion to be
. reserved until after judgment upon the more im-
portant question.
Our Continental news will be found at length in
another column. From Paris there are contra.
• dietory rumours with regard to the anticipated
movements of the Emperor. Some state that he
will positively co to Fontsinbleau this month.
Others, that public affairs will prevent his Majesty.
At the council of ministers held on Tuesday, at
St. Cloud, some important explanations took place,
which may effect the modification of the ministry,
at least to a certnin extent. Several arrests had
been made in Paris. It is announced that the
comnlissioneas of the five great Powers are to set-
tle at Constantinople the question of the Principa-
lities and the Black Sea, Bolgrad, and the Isle of
Serpents. It is stated that the Council of State
has recently come to a resolution that in future no
