ALEXANDRIA AND CONSTANTINOPLE CABLE.--A most
extraordinary fatality attends the Alexandria and Con-

stantinople cable,i Mr. Newall, who has just,arrived in
London, has again failed in laying the link of cable
which is wanting to connect Alexandria with Constanti-
nople. It appears he succeeded in laying the cable from
Candia to within about 70 miles from Alexandria, the
deepest water having all been. passed over, when a flaw
of insulation was. discovered, which compelled him to
stop paying out. The flaw was about twenty miles from
the ship, and when the cable was picked up to within
about three miles of it, it parted in about 1,500 fathoms
of water.—China Telegraph. • •

Miss AUGl7E:TA3sox.—Tiie Glasgow Herald's
Paris correspondent, writing some time ago regarding
this lady, who is shortly to sing here, remarks :—" The
event of this week has been the debilt of a new artiste
at the Grand Opera, Miss Augusta Thomson of Glasgow.
The first British singer who ever trod the boards of the
Parisian Opera appeared on Wednesday evening in the
character of Matilda in the opera of Guillaume Tell,'
and with complete success. The voice of this young
lady is a soprano of extraordinary volume, purity, and
beauty; and although the role of Matilda was not by
any means calculated to show her great talents to the
best advantage, she fairly captivated her audience by her
graceful and fine rendering of the air, Sombre Foret,'
and the succeeding duo with Arnold. Many ' bravos'
greeted the young stranger ; and in the following acts
she fully maintained her newly-acquired fame."

IMPORTANT ARBITRATION CASE AT DUDLEY.—
SWINDELL AND OTHERS AND THE BIRMINGHAM
CANAL COMPANY.—An important arbitration case was
brought to a termination at the Dudley Arms Hotel, on
Monday night last. The question at issue may be
briefly stated as follows :—The Park Head Tunnel of
the Birmingham Canal Company is on the estate of
Lord Ward, and Messrs. Swindell are tenants on that
estate, and consequently the mines and minerals belong
to them. Upon the company making this tunnel, it
was determined by mutual agreement that the canal
should not be undermined, and that the compensation
to be given to Messrs. Swindell for giving up between
four and five acres of mine,:should .be referred to arbi-
tration, in case the parties concerned could not agree.
Messrs. Swindell .claimed £12,000, 'and the company
appealing against this claim, the commissioners awarded
them £lO,OOO. The company again appealed, and on
Monday a jury was sworn, and several practical men
examined. The jury, after being twice locked up until
a late hour, awarded Messrs. Swindell £B,OOO. The
company gave notice of appeal, and the case will there-

The Hungarians long ago declared that it was their in-
tention to agitate until they had regained their
consti-
tution, and a very remarkable ' anti-centralisation'emonstration has just been made at Essegg, a royal free
city in Slavonia. The committee for examining into the
proposed municipal law met at Essegg at ten in the
morning of the 24th October, and at twelve o'clock its
members had unanimously resolved humbly to petition
the Government to be pleased to regulate the affairs of
the community and all other internal matters in a con-
stitutional way—that is, by means of a diet.' The
members of the committee were the Lord-Lieutenant of
the county, the representatives of the districts of
nd Essegg ; the Burgomaster of the
city of ESsegg, and other persons of note."
