TELEGRAPH FROM CONSTANTINOPLE

TO SMUMLA.

A letter from Constantinople of the 6th, in the
Courrier de Marseille, says :
"On the telegraphic line from Constantinople to
Shumla, by Adrianople, which is now terminated, the
different experiments have perfectly succeeded, and in a
few days it can be opened to every one. Its length is not
less than 106 French leagues. By the establishment of
the line, the distance which separates Constantinople from
Adrianople, and the latter town from Shumla, hereto-
fore but imperfectly known, has been precisely ascer-
tained. The carrying of the electric wires across the
Balkans,through almost impenetrable forests, and in which
it was necessary to have recourse to the compass only as
a guide, and which did not even contain a single tree fit
to be utilised—presented great difficulties. .M. de la
Rue, however, the contractor for setting up the line,
did not allow himself to be discouraged by any obstLeles,
and Constantinople is now in communication with all
the capitals of Europe. But it has been necessary to
provide for the security of the telegraph as well as to
erect it, and, accordingly, 51 houses for keepers have been
built on different parts of the line, and a complete sur-
veillance, by men on foot and horseback, has been organ-
ised. Employes to work the line have been brought
from France, and installed at the different stations. The
telegraph is to be conducted on the French system."

OPENING OF TEE MILTON CLUB.

This Club, which has excited so much attention in
the Nonconformist world, is to be formally and fully
opened on Monday next. It is au institution to
which we cordially wish the greatest success. It is
one which was urgently needed ; and it has been
established under circumstances of the most auspicious
character. Those with whom the idea originated have
displayed an energy and ability in overcoming obstacles
to the completion of the undertaking, which have never
been surpassed ; and we sincerely hope that its suc-
cess will be such as they shall feel to be an ample
reward for all the labour and anxiety which they have
undergone. Perhaps we are not saying too much when
we express our opinion that there are not half a dozen
men in England who would have gone through what
Mr. Henry Bateman, the great master-spirit of the un-
dertaking, has done, in bringing the Milton Club to that
completion which we now happily witness. We antici-
pate from the institution the happiest moral, social, and
religious results ; and we cannot for a moment doubt
that those for whose especial accommodation and bene-
fit it has been established, will vie with each other in
giving it their most hearty support. The central situa-
tion will constitute one great element in the success of
the Milton Club.—Morning Advertiser.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was
moderato, and almost wholly of the new year's growth. On
the whole, the trade ruled steady, at about Monday's cur-
rency.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was very moderate
sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were held at very full cur-
rencies.

We had a good demand for both English and foreign
barley, at extreme rates. The malt trade ruled steady, at
full prices.
The demand for oats ruled steady, and the quotations
were well supported.
Beans, peas, and flour wore quite as dear as on Monday,

On Monday the following appeared in our Corn Re-

port
" The arrivals of now English wheat fresh up to our
market this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, were
considerably on the increase, compared with Monday last ;
but those of old wheats were trifling. The show of the
former was in fair average condition, and the demand for
most kinds ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those of
this day se'nuight. The few old wheats in the market
sold freely, at fully is per quarter above the rates of this
day se'nnight."

[The above was correct up to a certain time ; but our
reporter neglected to send us the quotations at the close
of the market. lie now states that the wheat trade on
Monday c:oscd heavily, at 2s. to 3s. per quarter beneath
previous rates for new qualities. We regret this appa-
rent negligence, and shall take care that no omission
occurs in future ; for it is our especial wish to give the
most correct report of all the markets.—ED. SUN.]

environs. For eight days previous to the 14th there

MADAM] TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION. The Messrs.
Tussaud constantly exhibit the most praiseworthy en-
deavours to cater for public instruction and amusement,
and have produced a group of the most interesting cha-
racter. This group now contains most of the leading
characters—sovereigns, statesmen, and military and naval
heroes of the present war—all forming a splendid group.
The latest addition to this highly interesting collection of
portraits is the Dowager Empress of Russia, who, it is
rumoured, still occupies a prominent part in the counsels
of the Russian Cabinet. Her Majesty is represented in
a magnificent robe of black velvet, ornamented with
pearls and diamonds. We understand many novelties
are in progress, and will soon bo ready for public iuspec-
ticn,
