ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

It appears that the scientific committee appointed to
consider the best form of cable for submersion between
Europe and America have recommended the one prepared
by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., No. 45. The conductor
consists of a copper strand cf seven wires (six laid round
one), each wire gauging 0.144 of an inch, and the centre
strand 0.444 of an inch, and weighing 3001 b per nautical
mile, embedded for solidity in Chatterton's compound.
The conductor of the old cable of 1858 consisted of six
wires laid round one, being about half the gauge of the
new one, and weighing only 1071 b per nautical mile.
The insulator of the new cable is to consist of gutta
percha, in four layers, between each of which is to be a
thin layer of Chatterton's compound, making a diameter
of the core of 0.164 of an inch, weighing 4001 b per nautical
mile. The insulator of the old cable was formed of three
layers, and weighed 2611 b per nautical mile. The external
protection of the new cable is in two parts—first, the core
is surrounded with a padding of soft jute yarn, saturated
with a preservative mixture ; next this padding is the pro-
tective covering, which consists of ten solid wires of the
gauge 0095 of an inch, drawn from homogeneous iron, each
wire being surrounded separately with five strands of
Manilla yarn. The whole of the ten strands thus formed
of the hemp and iron are to be laid spirally round the
padded core. The external protection of the old cable con•
sisted of 18 strands of charcoal iron wire (each strand was
composed of seven thin wires), laid spirally round the core,
which latter was previously padded with hemp saturated
with a tar mixture. Each wire strand was of No. 14 gauge,
and entirely unprotected from the action of the sea water.
The weight of the new cable is to be 351 cwt per nautical
mile, while that of the old one was 20cwt. The breaking
stain of the new cable 71 tons, and of the old cable 31 tons.
The strength of the new cable is to be equal to 4.61 times
its own vertical weight in the deepest water (2,400 fathoms),
while that of the old cable was only 2.05 times the strength
requisite for the deepest water. The scientifi3 committee
recommend various precautions to be adopted for testing
the core, the joints, and other parts of the cable during its
manufacture and when completed, so as to insure, if pos-
sible, the utmost success.

ENCE,

TAT I'ERSALLS'.—LAsT NIGHT.

The heavy nature of the settling upon the late Warwick
meeting attracted a larger attendance this afternoon than
usual, coupled with which the chops and changes to which
the wagering upon the Northamptonshire Stakes has been
subjected duting the past week added many to the number
who stood heavily committed on the race. Members began
to drop in at a very early hour, and shortly after 2 o'clock
the room and yard became almost thronged. Money, as
usual at this early period of the season, appeared extremely
plentiful, but from the numerous and cross accounts to be
disposed of it was not until considerably past 4 o'elock that
anything in the shape of speculation upon the first event on
the card was entered into, the transactions upon which, as
will be gathered from our return, were solely noticeable for
the complete knocking out of Lioness and Blithfiold, and
the increased support given to Lord Zetland, Gardener,
Wingrave, Costa, Gibraltar, and Fairwater, each of which
were backed to win some hundreds at their respective prices.
Dollar di I not appear to pass current, and Touch-and-Go,
evidently affected by her name, was under a cloud, many of
her admirers evidently biding their time until her number
was exhibited. Flying FL.h was installed first favourite
for the Spencer's Plate ta 10 to 1 ; and Templar and SJap-
stone were mentioned at 14 to 1 eaca, and at a point over
those odds Wild Thyme and Biondella were introduced.
Little or nothing was done on the Two Thousand; 11 to
2 was currently offered on the field, Paris, as usual, remain-
ing at his old market price, 6 to 1. Canbuscan, however,
did not receive so kindly a greeting; the reports of his
having been stopped in his work evidently having gained
credence; his openieg price remained unnoticed some time,
until at last 15 to 2 was betted to some money by a well-
known speculator, who again laid 7 to 1 to the close of the
room.

The Chester Cup was all but a dead letter; the only
transaotioa that came under our notice was the demonstra-
t,on made against Golden Pledie, one in the secret suc-
ceeding in laying 40 to 1 against him.
THE DERBY.—Scottish Chief gave evidence of great
vitality, as most of the bookmakers declined to dispute the
advance, and in consequence those who were anxious to
join his standard were compelled to accept their price, but
the layers appeared remarkably shy. Cambuscan's posi-
tion in the Guineas apparently had some effect upon his
friends for this effect, as 14 to 1 to any amount could have.
been obtained of those who are generally foremost, whether
right or wrong, to perform. against a tottering favourite.
Coast Guard was in some request at his quoted odds, as
was Forager, Prince Arthur, and Blair Athol, beyond
which those given in our price current were but nominally
supported.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
BOW-STREET.

THE SELF-ACCUSED MURDERER OF EMMA JACKSON,—
Inspector Williamson, of the detective police, attended
before Mr. Vaughan this morning, and reported to his
worship that the man Edward Collins, who had given him-
self up as the murderer of Emma Jackson, in George-street,
some time ago, was still an inmate of St. Giles's workhou:e.
He had been examined by the medical officer, and although
that gentleman felt little difficulty in pronouncing him a

unatic, yet he had informed him (Inspector Williamson;

that he should like to have the man .a short time longer
under his observation before he pronounced a decided
opinion. He (Inspector Williamson) had taken the girl
who admitted the man and ill-fated woman into the
brothel on the morning of the murder to see the person
who haci accusad himself of the crime, and she in the
most positive manner had stated he was not the person. She
said she was certain that he was not, because Collins (the
man in custody) was a very lame man, and the person ehe
let into the house on the morning of the murder was not.

Mr. Vaughan asked whether There were not any other
persons who could (peak to the appearance of the real

murderer.

Inspector Williamson replied in the affirmative.

Mr. Vaughan said it would be as well that those parties
should see the man, and also if there was anything found
on the prisoner which would indicate who and what he was,
it had better be acted upon, because it would not be safe to
discharge such a person without he had some parties to
take charge of him.

Inspector Williamson said in a day or two he would
have the friends of the prisoner in attendance, and until
then he would leave the man in the care of the surgeon of
the workhouse. Although, from what he had already heard
from that gentleman, there appeared to be not the slightest
doubt the prisoner was a lunatic, he had already made some
reference to an asylum in which he had been an inmate
some time ago.

STEALING A GOLD WATCH AND OPERA-GLASS.—
Albert Ray, a young man, was charged with stealing an
opera-glass, of the value of three guineas, the property of
Mr. Rol'ert Downing, of 30, Great George •street, West-
minster, civil engineer, and a gold watch, of the value of
the property of Mr. Emanuel Brunulli, of 65, Brook-
street, Bond-street.
It appears that the prisoner was servant to Miss Kellock,
of 9, Hanover- street, and absconded in the early part of last
year; and after ho was gone a number of articles, the
property of gentlemen lodging in the house, was missed►
including the opera glass belonging to Mr. Downing, and
the watch the property of Mr. Branulli. Madgett, 74 5,
took the prisoner into custody on March last on another
charge, and duplicates relating to the opera glass and watch
were found in his possession. This morning, on leaving
the House of Correa ion, where he had been undergoing 12
months' imprisonment, he was taken into custody by Ser-
geant Edwards, 12 C, and Madgett.

Mr. Downing deposed that in the early part of 1863 he
lodged at Miss Kellock's, 9, Hanover-street, Hanover..
square, and was robbed of his opera glass, which he subse-
quently identified at a pawnbroker's.
Remanded.

BREAKING INTO A WINE CELLAR.—Elizabeth Rush.
ton, a young woman, servant to Mr. John Percival, tobac-
conist, of No. 3, Panton-street, Haymarket, was charged
before Mr. Tyz Whitt with stealing Fix bottles of champagne,
five of claret, four of port and three of brandy, of the
value of £5, the property of her master.

From the evidence of Mr. Percival it appears the prisoner
entered his service on Thursday last, having been engaged
from a registry office. On Sunday mornings and Monday
morning the prisoner was found to be labouring under
intoxication, and the police were called in, when on mak-
ing a search they found the wine cellar had been broken
open, and Mr. Percival missed a numb:r of bottles of
wine, some of them being found in the ptisoner's room,
besides several empty bottles.
Prisoner said sie was very sorry.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho had no drubt she was. She had
entered a person's service and began robbing him directly.
He would remand her for a week, but considered it a case
for severe punishment.
Mr. Percival said he did not wish to press the case
with severity, as he thought it was the prisoner's first
offence.

Remanded.

The Archduke had the good sense to see h,ow foolish
it would be to impose such a burden on Moxico, and
refused to sell his new subjects before he had his
empire in possession. Thus the grand "combina-
tions" of which we have heard so much of late are
dissolved, and the Archduke will go to Mexico, with,
a small sum of money in hand, trusting to his good
fortune to be able to make better terms in the csPi"

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the only Commissioner,
and disposed of a short list of cases, principally releases.

RE RBA..

This bankrupt had been a baker in Wood-street, Si
Luke's, and applied for his release.

His Honour said it appeared the bankrupt had been
bankrupt before, and asked whether he had obtained his
discharge under that bankruptcy ?
Plaintiffs id he had not.

His Honour—Then I cannot interfere—you must get rid
of your first bankruptcy before I can release you.

RE FYFE.

This bankrupt was a warehouseman in the city, and his
release was opposed on the ground that he was connected
with a person named Edwards, and gave him a recommen•
dation, on which he obtained goods, which soon afterwards
found their way to Burton's sale rooms.
His Honour said he would not interfere until after the
meeting for choice of assignees.

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.

The annual meeting of the g‘lvernors and guar-
dians of this charity was held ye,:terday at the
Scottish Hospital, Crane-court, Fleet•si.reet—Sir
George Clerk in the chair.

Mr. DANIELLS, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that the charity was in a sound and
prosperous condition, but that the constantly in-
creasing numbers of deserving candidates for ad-
mission into the asylum rendered it important that
there should be a large accession to its funds. Dur-
ing the past year 111 children had been maintained
and educated in the asylum, end at the election in
June next five bays and four girls would be elected
from a list of 23 approved candidates, The annual
subscriptions for the past year had been £GS in
excess over those of the previous year, and
£7OO had been invested from the floating balance at
the bank, making the total sum now invested
£20,000. The donations at the last anniversary
dinner had amounted to about £l,OOO. The report
concluded by expressing the desire of the committee
to admit a much larger number of children as soon
as the state of the funds would warrant such a
course.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the meeting on the improved
condition of the charity within the last four years.
He was happy to be able to state that the Duke of
Argyll had consented to preside at the ensuing
annniversary in June nest, and that the Caledonian
Ball in aid of the funds would also take place at
Willib's Rooms in the same month.

Sir. J. H. MAXWELL seconded the motion, which
was agreed to.

Sir G. Abercromby, Sir James Mackenzie, Cap.
rain Conway, Dr. Drury, and Messrs. Cargill, M.P.
Dundas, Grant, and Clerk, were elected on the
committee, in place of the eight members retiring
by rotation,

The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.
