This Company has been formed for the purpose of making
and maintaining telegraphic lines of communication, both
submarine and on land, in every part of the world.
The facility of intercourse which telegraphic communi-
cation now, in such extensive operation, has afforded to the
public in its varied communities—Political, Commercial,
and Social—has rendered that which was, but a few years
ago, regarded merely as a scientific experiment, absolutely
necessary for the purposes of our social system, and a
highly remunerative investment. It has been found that,
as in the case of railways (although to a much greater ex-
tent), telegraphic cables have uniformly developed a con-
stantly increasing traffic, with this remarkable and special
feature, that the more distant the points brought into con-
nexion, the greater the proportion of business done.
Experience bits proved that increasing receipts from the
working of submarine cables bring with them only a
trifling proportionate increase in the amount of working
expenses.
Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company and the Gutta Percha
Company have hitherto together had the principal share in
the manufacture of submarine telegraphic cables.
The former firm, who have undertaken the manufacture,
laying down, and maintenance of the cables, have hitherto
obtained the inner cores of the cables from the Gutta
Percha Company, which has, in this branch of its trade,
confined itself entirely to the production of that part of the
cable.
Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company have, during the last
ten years, manufactured and laid down in different parts
of the world no less than 6,500 miles of Submarine Tele-
graph Cable, whilst the Gutta Percha Company have, dur-
ing a like period, manufactured upwards of 9,000 miles of
insulated wires for Submarine Telegraph Cables now iu
work,
It has been ascertained that the manufacture of entire
cables could be more securely and beneficially carried on
by uniting in one establishment the manufacture of the
outer cable and wires, and the execution of the portion of
the work heretofore separately executed by the Gutta Percha
Co mpany,and with this view contracts have been entered into
for the purchase of the entire machinery, premises. plant.
patent, stock, goodwill, &c., of the Gutta Percha Company,
by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company ; and that firm have
agreed to transfer to this Company, at the cost price to
them, the work so acquired. A contract has also been con-
cluded with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company, for the
acquisition, by this Company, of their manufactory,
premises, patents, stock, and business, the consideration
being paid, to the extent of £lOO,OOO, in fully paid up
Shares of the Company. Under these combined arrange-
ments the Company will enter into possession of the atual-
gamated business and be entitled to their profitaas from the
Ist of January last.
The Company's business will be conducted under the
personal superintendence of Mr. Barclay and Mr. Glass, as
managing directors, assisted by the efficient staff of the
united Compenies.
The agreement with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company
provides for the assignment, with the consent of the Trea-
sury, to the Company of the lease held by that firm of the
Submarine Telegraph between Malta and Alexandria. The
Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez Telegraph, held by Messrs.
Glass, Elliot, and Company under agreement with the
Telegraph to India Company is also comprised in the
arrangement.
The large profits which have hitherto been realised by
bath of the above firms, and the prospect which exists of
considerable extension of the business, justify the expecta-
tion of a large return to the Shareholders, independently of
the profits arising from the working of the telegraph lines
above referred to.
Copies of the above contracts, together with the Articles
of Association of the Company, may be inspected at the
Solicitors' Offices.
Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed
form ; but no application will be considered unless the de-
posit of Ll per share has been previously paid to the Bankers
of the Company. This deposit will be returned if no allot-
ment is made to the applicant, and if an allotment is made,
it will ba applied towards the payment then due.
An option will be given to the Subscribers of taking one-
fourth of the Shares allotted as fully paid up Shares.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Brokers.

special hypothecation of the whole export duties leviable at

caibo, and Ciudad Bolivar. These are warranted by the Go-
vernment as wholly uncharged (or that, if any claims can be

crease is expected. In the event of aeydeficiency, the amount
is to be made good by a further special hypothecation of the

periodically by the interest on bends that shall have been
bought up or redeemed.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

EPSOM SPRING MEETING.
The gathering, the adjunct of the fine weather taken into
account, bids fair to tread closely on the heels of the great
May Carnival. There is the same crowding of trains at
London, Victoria, end Waterloor—the same holiday look
pertaining to the people on the hill, to the great majority of
whom the City and Suburban and the Great Metropolitan
are things of nought. Many of the especial characteristics,
indeed, of the Derby Day are tending to rob the Epsom
Spring of its most business-like features. The weather,
though cold, was not unseasonable. The Thal Gtakes, for
which the Irish mare Caroline was made a very warm
favourite, proved a surpris.e to her backers, as she never
showed prominently in the race, which was vei y cleverly
snatched from Vivid by Lord Stamford's Gemma, the
latturs jockey laudiug her a winner in the last few strides
by a head. Trumps carried off the Heathcote Plate easily,
and Jessie did ditto in the London-bridge Stakes.
Speculation on the City and Suburban has shown no ex-
ception to the rule which has applied to the other spring
handicaps. It has been, until within the last week or so,
languid in the extreme. Liston held a solitary position in
the quotations from " the Corner" for some time, and when
others came into the betting still kept the lead, until his
performance at Croaton• park last week sent him out of the
market. Gordian Knot was immediately elevated to the
premiership, and with Veterinarian as second favourite
maintained that position until Jarnicoton, coming with a
rush prior to the race, left off on equal terms with him.
There was a tedious delay at the post, but at length they
got away to a fair start, Moulsey making the running and
keeping the lead until the distance, where Merry Hart and
Lord Burleigh joined him, Lord Westmoreland's horse
winning cleverly by a length, amid loud cheering.
The Two-yr-old Stakes saw another scattering of the
favourites in the hollow victory of Garderieure, who de-
feated Lord Coventry's crack in an easy canter. The
Inkerman Plate wound up the day's sport with another
victory for the fielders in Prescription.

During the afternoon the stewards of the Melton meeting
investigated the objection brought by the owner of the
second horse in the National Hunt Steeplechase against the
rider of the winner, and the following notice was posted on
the board :

The Stewards of the National Hunt Meeting having
beard the evidence brought by Mr Behrens against Mr F.
Loton's qualifications as a gentleman rider have decided
that Cooksborough is disqualified.

• Vivid, with Golden Dust and Gemma on her right,
jumped away with the running, closely attended by Tippler,
Reserve, and Caroline into the straight, when the two
leaders drew in advance and came on in company to the
stand, where Gemma headed Golden Dust, and in the next
few strides obtained a slight advantage and won a fine race

After a short delay at the post, they were despatched in
close company, but after running a few strides Dilston on
the far side came on with a decided lead of the favourite,
who was closely attended by -Virginia and Tailor to the
bend, rounding which the former was joined by Trumps,
the pair running together to the road, when Dilston was
beaten, and "Virginia came on in attendance on the favou-
rite, but failed to quite get up, and was beaten after a good
race by three-quarters of a length : a bad third ; Dilston

The favourite, on the outside, jumped away with a
slight lead, having Mountain Maid, Village Belle, and St.
Thomas as his immediate followers, but as they rounded
the bond the Spasms colt dropped away beaten, leaving
St. Thomas with a slight lead, which he held to half-way
in the distance, where he was headed by Verdiere, who re-
tained a clear lead to the enclosure, when Jessie came with
a rush and won a close race home by half a length ; three
parts of a length between the second and third ; Ida was
fourth, and Mountain Maid fifth; St. Thomas last. The
winner was sold.

I land, 100 to 8 agst Flying Fish, 20 to 1 each agst Count
Cavour, Merry Hart, Juliet, and Voluptas, 25 to 1 each agst
Brindisi and Exchequer, 40 to 1 each agst Lord Burleigh,
King of Utopia, and Bradamante,
The difficulty of getting the horses to the post was con-

siderably increased by the repeated breaking away of
Cadiz, Merry Hart, Flying Fish, Bradamante, and Gordian
Knot, who upon each attempt of Mr. M'George, to get them
to him jumped round and ran to the brow of the hill. At
last, seeing an opportunity, he lowered his flag some 30
minutes after the appointed time to an equitable start.
Summerside, on the upper ground, was tho first away, but

after running a few strides she was headed by Moulsey, who

came on with a clear lead, followed in a body by Brindisi,
Summerside, Aunt Judy, Exchequer, Bradamante, and
Merry Hart, and wide on the lower ground succeeded Lord
Burleigh, close up with whom were Veterinarian, Cadiz,
Flying Fish, and Lard Z etland, the others following
closely in their wake. Coming through " the fuzes"
Moulsey considerably increased his lead, and as ho entered
the old course he appeared to be clear of his horses, some
three or four lengths in advance of the favourite, who,
having threaded through his horses as they rounded
the turn, came on second, close up with whom were
Brindisi, Bradamante, Exchequer, Summerside, Flying
Fish, Merry Hart, Gordian Knot, and Cadiz—then came
Lord Burleigh on the lower ground, who was also attended
by Count Cavour, King of Utopia, Fiancee, Jarnicoton, and
Countersign, the rearmost horses being brought up by
Trumps and Voluptas. These positions were retained as they
descended the hill, and on fairly reaching the dip the colours
of the favourite speedily disappeared from the front, and his
place was immediately after occupied by Bradamante, on
whose right came Brindisi, Lord Burleigh, and Merry Hart,
Summerside, with Gordian Knot, having been disposed of
as they crossed the road; which left Flying Fish, with Lord
Zetland, Cadiz, and Count Cavour as their immediate fol-
lowers. Moulsey (taken for Tom Fool) retained his promi-
nent position to the half distance, where Mordan eased him,
which letup those who were closely in his wake, but dying
away shortly after he was headed by Bradamante, who came
on with a slight advantage to the enclosure, where he was
joined by Lord Burleigh on the lower ground, and Lord
Westmoreland's colt on the upper ground, the former for a
brief period holding out hopes of the success of the cherry
and spots, but on reaching the centre of the stand he ap-
peared to succumb to the weight, and again left Mr. Gre -
vine's nomination in the van, but who within half a dozen
strides of the chair was challenged by Merry Hart, who
won very cleverly at last by a length, half a length separat-
ing second and third ; Moulsey was fourth, close up ; Ex-
chequer fifth, Brindisi sixth, and Flying Fish next. Then
came at wide intervals, all pulling up, Lord Zetland,
Weatherspy, Jarnicoton, Fiancee, Effie, King of
and Tom Fool, behind whom were Juliet, Count Cavour,
Veterinarian—Trumps being the last of all. ,
