munication has been regular and constantly Inaintainod
with Heligoland, and !by way of scientific experiment that
island has been placed in connection with Hanover, there
being 840 miles of submarine cable and nine, miles of land
line between Heligeland and Cromer, and 28a miles of
cable and eleven of land wires between Cromer and Hanover.
The cables and land wires placed in one circuit, in relay,
made a total of 620 miles : and through this great length
peifect :signals were interchanged. with very great rapidity.
The Danish Government are erecting specia wires to ac_
commodate the traffic anticipated- to pass by the Danish
cable, and the line will speedily be opened to the public.

THE .13,1z:inc.—According to the latest advices reeeirtj
at Hull .the Baltic .irade is not in a very brisk position tit
present, -freights being very low, and cargoes SO scarce that
some of ithe English -steamers were bringing home deals.
The Zebra .fiteamer, belonging to Messrs. Brownlow, Lums-
den, and Co., arrived at that port from -Cronstadt on Satnr-
lay last, with a general cargo of linseed, flax' tow, tallow,
and £BO,OOO in gold. Messrs. Gee and Co.'s steamer
,r, with a like cargo, but no gold, arrived at Brun
previous day. When these vessels left the Baltic
dozen Russ;an frigates and line-of-battle ships were
sad.ni; down the gulf in the direction of Revel, where it
is believed that the Czar is congregating a number of Ida
war ships, probably because at Bevel they will not be ice-
bound for a month or so after Cronstadt is unapproachable.
A Aim:tun-2f DIOGENES.—M. Privat d, Anglemont, the
writer whose death we lately announced, was remarkable
for his eccentricity, preferring
to live among the lowest
ranks of society to tlae
most .comfortable residence. It is
impossible to ve an idea of the carelessness with which
this modern Diogenes bore big existence. During the last
four years, in particular, that be had no regular employ-
ment, he never had an3r fixed resitienee, and very often not
a dinner. That he felt the misery a thi3 wretched exist-
ence cannot be affirmA
for several opportunities were
offered to him to improve it, but Jac appeared to prefer an
unsettled life to a regular orse. On .oneoceasion, M. Pereire sent him to Ile d'Adam, charged with a literary werk "(hid

ganglia were, that trey constituted not only
.ores of the Vanoits organs of special 'sense, but of Corn-
..on sensation also ; tliat they were in Tact the seat of sensa-
torial consciousness, and the source of. those consensual or
instinctive actions Which resulted' from senation, and were
performedwithout th.l influence of a emiding or con troll ing will.
Numerous facts had been brouglieforward, and arguments
adduced, in support of the view that thalami optici consti-
tute the centres of. sensation, 'and the 'corpora striate& the
contres of instinctive or sensori-motor action. The peri-
plicric expansiOn of the grey matter of the hemispheres was
connected with theie ganglia by that which on the one
-hand were supposed to convey the impressions received by
the sensorial centres upwards to the grey matter, so as to
give rise to perception, and on the other hand to carry
downwards the mandate of the wilt to the motor apparatus,
, which, obeying the injunction, brou„elit into play the par-
ticular set of mnsclm required for the performance of the
designed movement. There was no principle of neurological
science which had received more general assent, or was
more firmly established, than that the grey matter of the
nervous centres was the source of all nervous action ; and
considering the hemispheres with the light of this principle,
they could not but lookupon the convulsions of the cerebrum
as the seat of the mental functions,. the source of all
as the medium :by physical action and voluntary power, and the white matter
which,.c giring rise to thoughts and ideas, might even...
n acts of the will; but when the hemispheres
which impressions were . received,
were absent, when there was no peripheral expression
