This Company is farmed for the what has

cheap cemmunfention, by Electric Telegraph, between London, Li-
verpool, and Manchester, and an uninterrupted connexion, by means
of the Submarine Telegraph, between those places and the Continent
of Europe.
It is proposed to construct one main line of Electric Telegraphs
from Dover to London and Liverpool, connecting Manchester sled
Birmingham, which will unite with the existing Submarine Tele-
graph to. France, and with that which is about to be laid down to
Ile glues, under concessions from the French, Belgian, and ether
foreign Governments, which secure au exclusive and direct corre-
spondence with the tefegraphic systems of the Continent, extending
at the present year over 10,000 miles. . ,
These lines will be laid underground, under the powers of the Act
of Parliament, according to the most approved modern system, by
which the Telegraph wilt be secured from interruption by atmos-
pheric or other cruises. and the Company guaranteed against all cost
or maintenance tbr ter emus. A sufficient number of wires will be
provided to enable the Company to carry on a large business at low
rates, which affords the surest source of profit in an undertaking
where increase of traffic is not attended by any corresponding in-
crease of working expense.
Itesponsible contractors have guaranteed to lay down the entire
lines in question, extending over about 300 miles, :complete in
every respect, and including all preliminary and Parliamentary ex-
Penses, purchase of patent rights, See., and also to ensure the main-
tenance.and satisiartory working of the lines for ten years after their
completion, for the sum of 112,0001.

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1852.

Never, perhaps, was there a financial statement
looked forward to with greater interest, we may
almost say more intense anxiety, than that which is
announced for to-morrow evening. On it will mainly
depend the future position of parties in this country.
The really independent electors, those who are not
the mere serfs of some aristocratic patrons, or who
have not surrendered themselves to even more cor-
rupt and degrading iefluences, will naturally decide,
in accordance with the views then enunciated.
The just and salutary principle of " measures not
men" is now very generally recognised, and valuable
boons will not be rejected because they are tendered
for acceptance by men who have not hitherto ar•
rayed themselves on the popular side. There is no
reason why any proposition of Mr. Dssuaees's, if
desirable per se, should be less acceptable than if it
emanated from Sir CHARLE3 Woon. There could
not by any possibility be found, either in or out of
the House, a greater stickler for ancient abuses, a
more inveterate opponent of all improvement, than the
Right Honourable Baronet showed himself to be,
during the five or six years that he mismanaged the
national finances ; so far as he was concerned, any
change must necessarily be for the better. It would
be difficult, indeed, to produce snore melancholy ex-
amples of fiscal imbecility than tho " brick-dust
Budget" or the " precious Budget," notwithstanding
the numerous alterations and emendations to which
they were subjected during their progress through
Parliament. With Mr. DisalEr.r, however, the
case is different. He may be mistaken,
but he cannot be contemptible. His propositions
may be objectionable, but they will not excite the
unmitigated scorn of friends as well as foes. Should
he bring forward anything opposed to the wishes of
the people he will be steadfastly and resolutely op-
posed. He may bring defeat, but he will not bring
shame and disgrace upon his colleagues.
It is by no means improbable that every notion of
a bread-tax in any shape or form will be definitively
abandoned. The Right Honourable Gentleman very

Next in importance to the commercial poiiay is the
principle on which the direct taxation of tine country
is to be maintained. It is but too painfully notorious
that a property or income•tax cannot be dispensed
with. It must be retained in some shape or form,
and it is useless to delude ourselves with the hope
that it can be 'got rid of in any fixed period.
There are very few of the existing imposts
that would not be sale cted for repeal, rather than the
property-tax, if a judicious and bona fide attempt
were made to render it as equitable as practicable,
and to remove the grave and insuperable objections

Lumley's previous announcements, and the most effective refutation
of the unwarrantable attacks to which ho has been subjected. I On this point we entertain strong expectations of re-
lief from Mr. DISRAELI. He can sympathise with the
hard-working professional man or artist, struggling
to maintain a position, and hoping against hope in
the arduous contest. He can feel for the " hope
deferred," for the aspirations after fame of him who,
although compelled to keep up an appearance, can
scareely afford the ordinary comforts of life to his
family. 'What must be the feelings of such
a person, when the tax - collector comes
to his door, applying for a rate on ima-
ginary profits, not one-fouth of which were
available for his own use ?—when he is threatened
with Exchequer proceedings, at the moment that
he cannot provide a joint for his children, a coat for
himself, or a decent gown for his affectionate,
though despairing wife—when his attempts to
show that, even the interest on debts long
before contracted, had reduced his income below
the starting point, are rejected with disdain by the
assessors or Commissionere, in case of appeal ? We do
not believe, then, that this monstrous grievance, this
gross absurdity, will be sanctioned even for a single
year by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He may not
be able to bring forward a permanent measure during
the present session, but he will at least give some
intimation as to his future intentions, and modify
Schedule D so as to remove some of the most potent
arguments that have hitherto been put forward.
We may also reasonably hope, from what fell from
him on Mr. MILKER GIESON'S motion, that the
advertisement duties will be either entirely abolished
or reduced to one-third of their present amount. We
would fain hope that there will be a total repeal. It
would not be worth while for 50,000/. per annum to
retain any vestiges of the objectionable system.
There will, of course, be other matters
brought forward, but we have mentioned the chief
topics, and if the explanations be satisfactory, we
have no doubt that every fair-play will be shown by
the people who have so unequivocally expressed their
disapprobation of anything approaching to a factious
opposition.

PATTERSON, the originator of the Bank of Eng-
land, during the course of the seventeenth century,
became involved in one of those appalling calamities
which, once read, fasten themselves like fiery burrs
upon the imagination. If, at any time, the event referred
to could be forgotten elsewhere, recollection of it
could never at least be obliterated in Scotland.
There, if nowhere else, the memory of the expedi-
tion to Panama must be indubitably preserved, car-
rying unutterable anguish, as it did, into
so many households both in the Low-
lands and in the :Highlands. Although the
project was strictly commercial in its character,
it was at the same time a sublime enterprise, the idea
of which emanated in the first instance from the
noblest principles of philanthropy. It was intended
to unite (by opening up either on land or water a direct
line of communication across the isthmus of Darien),
the commerce of the two vast oceans washing the
opposite shores of the American continent--trans-
forming the comps-atively narrow strip of
earth connecting the northern and southern
portions of that siamese continent into the
world's highroad of trade, blending the mer-
cantile transactions of Africa and Europe on the
Atlantic with the mercantile transactions of Asia and
the eastern Archipelago on the Pacific. Such was
the sublime undertaking proposed by WILLIAM PAT-
TERSON, and which, if carried out with a munificence
compatible with the grandeur of the genius in which
it originated, would have constituted England in
truth the arbitress, under GOD, of the destinies
of the human race, while it would have tended to
realize with astonishing rapidity the golden dream
of civilization. Everything connected with that ill-
fated project, however, it is well known failed—failed
utterly and irretrievably. Auspicious though the
morning was that witnessed the sailing of the vessels
of the expedition, the unfortunate colonists on board
those vessels were from that very morning doomed to
destruction : they were doomed, moreover, by two
circumstances—the parsimony of the men en-
trusted with the management of the enterprise,
and the cruel and most culpable negligence
shown by the authorities in not transmitting
to the isthmus of Darien the assistance that might
ultimately have been afforded by the Government.
Arrived at their destination, the victims of this united
parsimony and negligence speedily began to taste
the bitterness of the cup of misery they were
destined to drain to the very dregs. ssailed first of
all by the neighbouring barbarians, they soon found
their provisions running short—and before many
weeks had elapsed a fatal disease, arising from the
very soil, thinned their ranks, the mortality being
likewise frightfully aggravated by the torments of
starvation. Scarcely six months have elapsed since
the narrative of that awful catastrophe was revived
to the remembrance of the people of these islands by
the last work that ever came from the hand of
poor ELIOT WARBURTON. Fated himself to be im-
mediately afterwards destroyed by a calamity yet
more fearful than the ghastly tale his gifted hand
had penned, WARBURTON unconsciously dwelt,
as by a sort of premonitory fascination,
upon incidents almost literally foreshadowing
the loss of the Amazon and his own premature and
appalling disappearance. Yet in the 'midst of all
these passages of terror—passages from their singu-
larity remarkable enough to bewilder the philosophy
of the psychologist—the large heart of the traveller
thrilled with sympathy for the sufferers in the old
Darien expedition, and his voice rose in eloquent ac-
cents of denunciation against the miserly authors of
their destruction.

A story simpler in its details, but quite as fearful of
its kind, will be found given elsewhere in our impression
of this evening—the narrative of the deaths of Captain
Galli:sums, of the Royal Navy, and six com-
panions, who had proceeded on a mission-
ary expedition to the savages of Patagonia—
deaths in like manner resulting from the slow and
agonizing torments of starvation. It will be perceived
from the documents referred to, as published
to-day by ourselves, that this most lament-
able catastrophe was attended with equally
harrowing incidents throughout, and that it was no
less attributable to a shameless and criminal negli
Bence on the part of those upon whom the
duty of affording aid to the sufferers de-
volved. Unhappily, however, we cannot observe of the
scheme which was thus brought to a hideously disas-
trous termination, as we have already remarked of
the famous Darien expedition, that it originated in a
truly admirable and affecting philanthropy. It was
an enterprise by which the projectors in-
tended to convey to the barbarians of Patagonia
the blessings of Christianity. Blind, like so many
others, to the ignorance, and the paganism, and
the criminality, and the sufferings, and
the degradation of thousands of our fellow-
creatures—and not merely, be it said, of one's fellow-
creatures but of our fellow-countrymen also—nearer
home ; ,these benevolent aspirants for the glory of
extending religion to the remote localities of Tierra
del Fuego forgot, we conceive, the weightier
responsibilities of their position in their over-eager
anxiety to carry the light of the Gospel as
far southwards as into the dens of the
squalid natives of Patagonia. They forgot,
it would seem, those more immediate claimants
moon their philanthropy who have been termed so
very awfully by Mr. MACAULAY—" pagans in the
midst of Christianity and savages in the midst of Ci-
vilization." The dreal'ul deaths of Captain GAR-
DINER and his companions are traceable, therefore,
to this culpable, and we are almost fain to call it
criminal disregard of that charity which "should be-
gin 6t name"—the heathens of England being shame-
lersly overlooked in a preference for the heathens
of Patagonia. But for this cruel perversion
of the he ,liest principles of philanthropy, the unhappy
victims
-of the mission would never thus have been
sacrificed
on the r0:.13 near Picton Island, in the
vicinity ef
intolerable
Tierra del Fuego. The record
of their- agony in being literally starved
to death , after protracting existence by devouring an
occasional
fox or penguin, by catching a few mice
as deli cacies, by
- consuming
garden-seeds for
broth, by
_picking muscles and limpits, and
ultimat( ?ly even by
boiling
into a Jolly, reads less like
h tueewspraopeker-t

nouncement than like a pass'ge from Constable's
Miscellanies. Successively, one by one, the
victims dropped off from sheer exhaustion—BAD-
COCK, a Cornish fisherman; Errwm, a carpenter ;
BRYANT, cnothtr Cornish fishermen ; WILLIAMS, the
surgeon ; PEARCE., a third sailor from Colnwall;
MAIDAIENT, the catechist; and finally, the
hapless Captain GARDINER himself, who is
presumed to have expired on the 6th of
September, 1851—the previous year having witnessed
their departure upon this ill-judged and ill-fated ex-
pedition. From the horror inspired by this ex-
traordinary narrative, let us hope that the
efforts of philanthrophy may hencefoward be
directed to the Pagans and savages living (alas ! that
we should say it) in the very midst of us—in the
slums of our manufacturing towns., and in the rooke-
ries of our metropolis—instead of being first extended
to such out-of-the-way and unwilling recipients as the
barbarians of Patagonia or the negroes of Boorio-
boolangah.

The Magnus Apollo of the Protectionists—" Sir
Fits and Starts," as our facetious contemporary Punch
jocularly, terms the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—wiII to.. •
morrow claim the most sweet voices of a purely agri-
cultural constituency. He has already exhibited all
the fickleness of an electioneering MACEFATH. Un-
dismayed by the numerous defeats which he has
already sustained, or by his still more disastrous
victories, he rushes madly into the arena,
and, mirabile dicta, selects Ipswich as the
scene of his future exploits. While he was
paying devoted attention to the consti-
tuency of Exeter, he surrenders at discretion to
the blandishments of Harwich, promising, however,
a return to his allegiance when he had
----
sown his wild oats. Scarcely, however, had he
obtained a seat scarcely
was he entitled to add
the magical letters M.P. to his designation, than he
deserts the charmers, allowing them to bewail his in-
constancy. Like the fair young knight, "he
loves and he rides away." Earnest are the
protestations touching the vows which he
addresses to the object of his latest ad-
miration. To gain its favour there is nothing too
absurd for him to assert, no pledge which he
is not prepared to swallow. He distances
BALL and BOOKER, and even GEORGE FREDE-
RICK YOUNG is nowhere in the race. At
the moment when those long pledged to protection,
who gave sterling proofs of their devotion to the
cause when there was a possibility of retaining a
bread tax, are abandoning their former
positions, seeing that they are no longer
tenable, the Solicitor-General of Sir EL PEEL, who
continued in offize notwithstanding the change of
opinion in his leader, and who voted for the repeal of
the Corn•laws, in obedience-. to the orders of
that Premier, now comes forward with ridi-
culous pledges that can never by a possibility be
realized.

Will the electors of East Suffolk suffer themselves
to be thus palpably hoodwinked, to be so grossly
humbugged, and made laughing-stocks in the eyes of
the community ? Is there no reputable country gen-
tleman of orthodox opinions whom they can prevail
upon to come forward, and who would make a fitting
colleague for Sir EDWARD Gooch ? We should have
thought that there would be many such, ambitious of
the honour of representing his native county. It
would appear as if the Learned SOLICITOR .GENERAL
was to have a walk over on the present occasion,
as if no one supposed that a seat for
the brief duration of Parliament would be worth the
expenses of a contest; but this will not be so at the
general election, and we shall be much mistaken if
Sir FITZROY KELLY have not ample cause to deplore
the infatuation that induced him to prefer the doubt-
ful chance of a county representation to the certainty
of a borough, and to abandon the moderation which his
colleagues in the Ministry, and their more sagacious
followers, are generally exhibiting.

QUEEN V. CHICIIESTER.—JUDGMENT.
Mr. CROWDER prayed the judgment of the Court in
this case. The defendant was convicted of a nuisance
at the last Exeter assizes.
Lord CAMPBELL—What was the nuisance?
Mr. CROWDER said it was a weir in the defendant's
possesiion which had obstructed the navigation of the
river Taw. The prosecution was instituted at the in-
stance of the Admiralty authorities, who felt that the
public interest repaired that the weir should be removed.
Lord CAMPBELL—Certainly, it is of the last import-
ance that the nuisance should be abated.
Ir. BARSTON said ho was instructed to appear for the
derealasd,n thie wh° a
very
rolore, old one, and was originally erected by his
point a poor labouring man. The weir
landlord, who, in wa
of fact, was the real offender.
The weir, however,
was in the courso of removal; and
it w
hoped the Court would see no objec-
tion to the defendant being discharged from custody.
Mr. CROWDER said the conviction took place us far
back as the last summer assizes, and the weir had not
yet been removed.

air. BARSTON said there was a I,4»zet fide intention on
the part of the landlord to remove the weir immediately.
The defendant was a poor man, and in consequence of
his imprisonment his wife and children had been thrown
upon the parish.
Mr. CROWDER said he would consent to his discharge
if the defendant would give security for his re-appear-
ance on a future occasion in the event of the weir not
being removed.
Mr. BARSTON said his client was quite ready to give
such security.

stand over on those terms.—Judgment deferred ac-
cordingly.;
