IE.R=ARTi

-L. t. ' •

In •Angmt. 1851, the promoters of the Stibnaarine Telegraph
formed themse'ves into a French Company (Socitee en Comman-
dite), and, at their ow•n risk, and wit • their own funds, established
the telegraphic communication between Dniver and Calais.
Ihe c4ble was laid down on the 25th September, 1851, and on the
13th November following the• telegraph was opened to the public for
the transmission of messages, since which time it has worked
ithc ut the slightest irregu'arity orinterruption.

The feasibility of a h4thinarme Telegraphic communication having
been thus -nccessfuliy proved, the promoters consider that the time
has now arrived to Invite the public toe -operate with them in deve-

lopi.,g the resources, and extending the advantages of this important
undertaking.

me folio-wing brief statement will show the actual position and
prospects of the Saba arine Telegraph :
A royal charter of incorporation having been obtained for the es-
tablishment of the Submarine Telegraph between England and
France, it Ms been determined to surrender the same, in order that
one with more extended powers should be granted, so aii to' suit the
circumstances of the. Company, enabling them to establish a Sub-
marine Telegraphic Communication with Belgium and the, other
parts of the Continent of Europe, in addition to France.
The draft of this charter is now before the Board of Trade, and it
Is believed that it will be finally granted at the next Prey Council.
The capital of the French Company consists of 75,000 shares of 1/.
each. This sum has,.been_expended in the purchase of patent rights;
in securing the exclusive concession for ten years granted by -the
French. Government, to take date from Ist -July, 1852; in previous
experiments and In constructing, laying down, and perfecting the
existing telegraph. •
It is proposed that this property shall be surrendered for shares
of a corresponding value in the Company now forming under the
aforesaid extended Royal Charter. _

The promoters have also obtained an exclusive concession from
the Belgian Government, and are assured of important privileges
from other foreign Governments.
The Charter of Intcorporati :n will unite these different conces-
sions and privileges, thus securing to this Company the exclusive
right of telegraphic communication between Great Britain and the
Continent.
During the short time which has elapsed since the completion of
the Submarine Telegraph the development of this mode of commu-
nication has been retarded by the delay and- expense incidental to
the transmission of messages over the wires of otner Companies, the
Submarine Telegraph'forming only one link between Dover and
Calais, in-the chain of Continental-communication, and depending
on other bodies at each end for the transmission of their messages.
Notwithstanding., however, the present very imperfect arrangements
and unavoidably high charges, the receipts have, from the first day
of ()Petting, stead.ly progressed, and are now sufli- tent, after de-
ducting all expenses, to pay, a dividecd of upwards of five per cent.'
on the existing capital. of 75,0001., while the experience of the
working has been such as to leave no doubt that the traffic will be
at once immensely increased when the. proposed arrangements are
carried out by which London. Liverpool,. and Manchester will be
placel in direct and instantaneous communication with Paris,
Havre, Marseilles, Brussels, Amsterdam, Thinaburgh, Frankfort,
Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, Turin, Genoa,And all the principal towns of
Europe. • ..
In order to provide for the large accession of business consequent
on these arrangements, and to secure, the telegraphic communication
witirthe Continent aga'nst any risk of interrupti m, it is propose& to
lay down a Second cable between France and England, and also one
between Dover and Ostend, where it will be connected with the tele-
graphic systems of Belgium, Holland, and Germany.
Responsible parties have undertaken to provide and lay down these
new submarine lines of a superior construction, and with a suffi-
cient number of wires for carrying' Out-any amount of traffic that
can be *anticipated, tor* the sum of 70,000/., to include all patent
rights, and all preliminary and other expenses incidental to the
Belgian and other concessions, which will become vested in this
Company.
The Charter will authorise the raising of a capital of 300,000/. to
be employed in completing a perfect system of Submarine Te-
legraphic Communication between this country and the Conti-
nent; lay under the arrangements above referred to, not morn
than 75,0001. of new capital, in addition to the 75.0 0/. already ex-
pended, will be required to carry out the objects in immediate con-
templation.

The European and American Electric Telegraph Company being
formed under the powers of the Act of Parliament in connection
with this Company, the arrangements for completing the extension
of the Submarine Telegraph to London, Manchester, and Liverpool,
will be immediately concluded, when the French Government have

undertaken to provide independent wires for the exclusive use of
the Submarine Telegraph from Calais to the centre of Paris. In the
course of a few months, therefore, the Exchanges of London, Liver-
pool. and 311. cheater, will be brought into instantaneous communi-
cation with that of Paris ; an 1 the same principle may be carried
into effect with al! the other cities of commercial importance through-
out the Continent of Europe:

An estimate of the vast extension of business ;which must follow
such a devel potent of Telegraphic Communication, under a system
of nio !crate eharges, may be arrived at by a consideration of the
marvellous 7 esults which attended the introduction of the Penny
Postage. The day of experiment with the Submarine, Telegraph has
passed, and all, theret
_re, which now remains is to afford every
facility to the puhlic to avail themselves of an invention which is
evidently destined materially to affect the interests of the Commer-
cial and Political World.

The object of thia Conmany Is to complete 'the chain of canal
communication between the Zuyderzee and Meppen, on the river
Ems, in the kingdoin of Hanover, and to purchase abaut 11,500
acres of arable freehold Peatfiell in Holland.
On areference to the map accompanying this .Prospectus, It will
be seen that such communication commences irom the luyderzee,
runs up the river Yessel, thence by canal to Zwolle, from which the
Declares Canal • extenis as ar as Or Lmsbergen, within. a short
distance cif the frontier town of Koevorden.
Far the completion of the junction troth Gramsbergen to Keever-
deekthaxemlisite amount .has been voted by the local authorities,
and the works Will be commenced simultaneously with those of tne
canctiprojected by this Company.

The preposed Canal wilt, 6:l'. from Koevorden to Meppen, a dii-
tance 0122 miles, making, when completed, a direct communication
by canal of about 52 miles, whereby a distance of about 2.00 mites
of tedinus and 'dangerous navigation will be sated to the shipping
of Hanover, wh brings the timber and other produce of that
country, and part of rsus4a, to the various ports of the Zuyderzee
and other parts of the Netherlands. At Meppen, the river Haze,
Which drains the south-eastern portion of Hanover, and the Lingen
Canal, form ajunction with the Ems, which is navigable-as high
as Monster.
The total cost of the Canal frPm Meppen to Keevorden,
including the purchase of the land tur the seat of the
Canal, Is estimated at . ...

The probable amount of tonnage, computed upon the actual-traffic

or 7 per cent. on 75,000/.; an amount of otitlay which will be consi-
derably reduced by the value of the excavated material.
This is independent of the other important object in this adven-
ture, viz., the P.:.at Field, consisting of about 11,500 acres, now to-
tally neglected for want of mean. of out:et, which would immediately
be provided by the projected Canal. .
This property is situated within the boundaries ()Is the Dutch
territory, and when the peat shall have been cleared, the surfaca
will be available for ag,ricultural purposes, and readily saleable at 0/.
per acre. ,
It was, therefore, natural to conclude that such a property,
though now totally unproductive of profit, would acquire great value
when the means of carrying the peat aq fuel to a good and sure mar-
ket were established ; and, in consequence, after pr ,tracted negotia
tion with the numerous parties interested, a tract of rich freehold
peat-field, reported to be of an average depth of 20 feet, and compris-
ing about 11,500 acres in extent, has been purchased on very advan-
tageous terms. .

This enterprise is, therefore, no speculation founded upon the dis-
coveries lately made, in the properties or treatment of peat, but
based upon the fact that peat is the only fuel prodneed in the country,
and in general use. The custom of the country before working a
peat field is to lift and burn the top sod, on which buck wheat is
sown during five or six years, and the return is a net profit Of 41. per
acre.

This, on 11,500 acres, during five years, will give 46,000 i., or up •
wards of 6,0001. per annum for seven years (two being allowed for
draining), leaving the mass of peat to be dealt with as fuel, and after
that the surface for agricultural purposes.
With regard to the profit upon the peat as fuel, an average an-
nual sale in the following manner may be relied upon :

12 go to tne dagwerk. The sale of fuel will begin with the com-
mencement of the canal near Koevorden. The annual produce may
be fairly estimated as averaging upwards. 47,000/.
The promoters are perfectly aware of what has lately been done
In the treatment of and with the products of peat: and, if it should
be found that greater profit can be realised, by the adoption of any
novel process than by an invariable everyday sale of the article,
such advantages will not be neglected.
The projector has obtained the umal conditional concession from
the Governments of the Netherlands and Hanover, and will receive
the definitive concessions immediately upon the necessary capital
being subscribed.
This Company is therefore formed upon the condition that the
projector shall transfer the peat field estate purchased by him, at
-
cost price; together with the seasons, drawings, detailed estimates,
and other documents relating to the canal. and the enterprise gene,

Messrs. Taylor and .Bright's Circular states :—We con-
tinueivitkotit iMports, with the exception of a single parcel of
barley, and the market has exhibited much tone and firmness
during the past week; the weather has beau cold and dry,
with easterly winds predominating. Rain is much needed
for the pastures, and spring-corn is being extensively used for
feeding purpoies. Which.enables some advance on each article
to be realised. Oats, especially,, are scarce, and in demand ;
and there is an extended sale for Egyptian beans at somewhat
aver late rates. There was only a moderate supply of wheat
from our farmers'to-day; and. best samples were held firmly at
2s per qr advance, and 1s per qr was generally acceded to by
our millers, who are for the.. mdst part rather bare of stock.
A little more inqUiry for foreign, but as noted above, we are
without import, and chambered-parcels are held at relatively
higher prices than English, with no great choice of quality.
Not much business passing in barley, and mainly for want of
supplies. Oats are 6d_-per-qr:, dearer, and scarce ,a. like ad-
vance is established on beans of all sorts. In peas we hear
of no transactions. Without much business passing in lin-
seed, owing to so, man/ mills being closed, the market is well
supported.

LIVRIIPOOL, 'APRIL 27 =We have an almost unexampled
long period of confirmed droughty weather, .now upwards of
two months, parching the pasture lands, laying a number of
farmers under strong contribution to find food and water for
their starving cattle,. sheep, and lambs. The. wheat plant is
looking vigorous and well, and no weather suits it so well as
dry. Spring sown corn and pulse will be affected if rain does
not come aeon, but at present no injury of moment is spoken
of. The week's imports of grain and flour are moderate,
whilst there are good exports to Ireland and coastwise. There
has been an upward tendency in the price of oats, oatmeal;
beans, peas, barley;and Indian corn, during the week. Wheat
and flour at full prices. At this morning's market we had a
healthy demand for both local and distant consumption, and
some purchases of American flour were made on speculation.
The advance oh last Tuesday's quotations was general, viz., Id
per bushel on wheat, 64 per barrel and sack on flour, Id per
bushel on oats, 9d to Is per load on oatmeal, Id per bushel on
barley, is per quarter each on beans and peas, and is to Is 6d
per quarter on Indian corn. There is no indication of a change
to moist weather.

TIIE RACE FOR THE GUINEAS AND :THE
FIELDS FOR TO,MORROW'S RACES AT
NEWMARKET, &C.

TO THE. EhITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The rues for the Two Thousand yesterday was
;o the Ring generaly of a most startling character, for

it proved CiOnd a doubt that all in the rear of the
winner have not the shadow of a chance for the great
event now approaching at Epsom. I was never more
surprised in my life than by the result, as I (lid not for
an instant entertain the idea that Stockwell was likely to
prove the winner, especially after his performance in the
Craven Meeting with Alcoran; the race, however, ex-
emplified the truth of Burns' words, that
The best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft aglie,"
for after Stapleton had made as good running as he could
for half the distance, Stockwell went to the lore at an
increased pace, cut out the work for the remainder
of the dietauce, and won very cleverly by half a
length. Iloinebrewed beat Films for second honours by
a length and a half; Maidstone struggled home a bad
fourth; and the pony of the north, Daniel O'Rourke,
a worse fifth. Stapleton, Hoalakin, and Lapidist close
together in the rear of Dan; Ambrose acting the part of
whipper in, having been beaten all the way.
The effect on the Derby betting was electric; Alooran
advanced to 10 to 1, taken on the strength of his victory
in the Craven week, over the Two Thousand winner,
which, however, is a bad criterion to go by, as Stock-
well's form was four or five pounds at least better yes-
terday than on that occasion, and Stockwell to 10 to 1
layers. The whole of the field behind Stockwell was
sent to the right-about at extreme outside figures, vari-
ous prices, from. 50 to 100 to 1, being offered against
them. _ _ .

until this evening.
The One Thousand Guineas Stakes, D.M.—Bay
Rosalind, Toga filly, Lady Harriet, Caloric, or Janina,
Glenluce, filly by Verulam out of Quadroon, Kate, and
filly by Lancelot.
100 Says. Stakes, D Jl.—Lord Orford's Alcoran, Lord
Exeter's Stockwell or Ilex, probably the leiter; Houlakin,
and Wingenund are very doubtful runners.
The One Thousand this year is more than usually
mysterious; Bay Rosalind, who, bad she been in form,
in the phraseology of the Ring, could have walked away
from the rest, having done but very gentle work for a
long time past, can hardly be expected to beat her
thoroughly-prepared opponents. The Toga filly stands
no chance whatever of repeating Stockwell's feat for
Lord Exeter. Glenluce is not up to the mark. Qua-
droon filly is very much fancied in the north, where
she is set down as the absolute winner. Kate has been
backed for a good deal of money by the metropolitan
division, but, to my thinking, will not be a winner. In
short, I expect that the best of Mr. Magenis's couple, or
the Launcelot filly, will furnish the winner; and that Bag
Rosalind will be well up.
ALCOBAN of course will win the .100 Soya. Stakes, as
Stockwell, it is said, will not ran against him ; and the
match for 100 over the T.Y.C. will, I fancy, be carried
off by the Palma filly.

bone, and three ribs on the left side are broken, and his
chest contused; it was feared, for a considerable time,
that he had also received some internal injury, but reac-
tion having taken place, alt fears on'That bead -have been
removed. Although going on as well as can be expected,
his recovery is looked upon as very doubtful.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 27.
(Before Mr. Commistioner HOLROYD.) •
IN RE H. BROOME.

,Thektu.krupti who iyti§ A....pugilist and a victualler in
the Ila#mirket applied for his certificate.
. .

Mr. Linklater supported; Mr. Cooke, for the assig-
nees, offered no opposition.
Mr. SAYWELL, for Mr. Hutton, complained that
shortly before the bankruptcy Mr. Huttont had sold the
bankrupt brandy, which was to' have been for cash, but
after the delivery of the goods no cash could be obtained.
Upon the bankrupt being mot as he was about to go to
the Metropolitan races, he again promised to pay the
money; none, however, had been paid.
Mr. Hutton and his clerk were called, and positively
stated that payment was to have been made on delivery
of the brandy. On the delivery being made the bank-
rupt was absent, and payment was promised in the
course of the same afternoon.

The bankrupt, on being examined, said that no men-
tion was made at the time of effecting the purchase that
cash was to be paid on delivery. An offer of 103. in
the pound had been generally assented to by his credi-
tors, but in consequence of a few of them declining to
accept that rate of composition bankruptcy had been un-
avoidable.

Mr. LINKLATER urged that the bankrupt had had a
good prospect of success, but he had met with heavy
losses. He was happy to state that Mr. Hutton, being
now satisfied that the bankrupt had made a bona fide
offer of 10s. in the pound, would not further oppose.
His HONOUR said he considered the transaction with
Mr. Hutton to have been one for cash, and he thought
there was good cause for complaint. Having regard to
all the circumstances, the certificate (third class) would
be suspended for nine months. He hoped he would leave
off the disgraceful practice of priz3-fighting, and he
would observe that no excuse would ever be accepted in
that court for the almost total failure of a trader to keep
books.

Protection from month to month was granted.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April_ 27.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant• Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.)
Ann Scanlan, aged thirty, apparently a foreigner, vria
charged with stealing a piece of silk, the property of
John Monk.
It appeared that several weeks back she went into Mr.
Monk's shop and looked at a number of different arti-'
cies. She selected a number of silks, shawls, &c.,to the
value of about 201., and ordered them to be sent to No.
5, Lansdowne-villas. After remaining half en hour in
the shop she left, and immediately afterwards the piece
of silk was missed. The direction given by her was
found to be a false one, but nothing more was seen of her
till about six weeks afterwards, when she was appre-
hended, and was recognised at the police court by' the
assissant at the shop who served her.
Mr. RIBT ON, who defended, said the prisoner had re-
peatedly informed him that there must be a mistake, for
she was not the person in the shop.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The ASSISTANT-J lIDGE-1 think you have been here
before, for I am sure I remember to have seen your very
interesting face before this day.
The prisoner said it was a mistake.
The ASSISTANT•JUDGE said, she had at any rate had

12 months at the Old Bailey, and as then berg; then was
a slight ono they must have known something more
against her. He had no doubt she was a regular shop-
litter, and he should transport her.
The prisoner declared that her husband for 18 years
was editor of the Observer nowspapt.r. He died very
suddenly, being one morning found a corpse in his bed,
and she was lett destitute.
She was sentenced to seven years' transportation.
Mr. PARRY, in the course of the day, made an appli-
cation to the Court referring to the late card cheating
Rtraicnhsaarcdtiosnilaist, a solicitor, for obtaining, by threats andßrighton. It appeared that a bill had been
preferred to the grand jury and found by them against
false pretences, four bills of exchange—namely, two for
1201, one for 2401., and one for 2001., from John Broome,
for the purpose of compounding an indictment preferred
against John Broome at the last Lewes assizes for cheat-
ing at cards; and he applied to have the indictment
transmitted for trial at the Central Criminal Court, as
this Court,
he said had no jurisdiction to try it.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, in that case it would go
over as a matter of course.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

FRESHWATER, ISLE of WIGHT.—D ESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
—This village was nearly destroyed by fire on Monday,
it broke oat about ten o'clock in the morning. Eight or
nine houses very soon fell a prey to the flames, including
the Red Lion Inn, a linendrapers, a grocer's, a baker's,
and a carpenter's shop, stock in trade, furniture, and all
consumed—all the work of an hour.
Eleven weeks of cold, piercing, easterly winds has con-
verted what should be green fields into brown barren
lands. The hayricks are fast disappearing, and water is
becoming very scarce; vegetation is completely at a
stand.

DISEMBARKATION of GENERAL BOSAS.
DEVONPORT APRIL 27.—According to previous ar-
rangements, the ex-Governor of Buenos Ayres, General
Roses, family, and followers, landed at the dockyard
yesterday afternoon, where they were received by some
of the principal officers of the establishment. Carriages
were in waiting to receive the visitors, and they pro
where-
ceeded forthwith to Ptloorshead's Royal Hotel,
they are still sojourning.
It is said to be the desire of General Roses to remain,
at least for a time, in this neighbourhood, where eedca.
yours are making to obtain a residene.
During the voyage, Mr. Dryden, the paymaster of the
steamer, acted as interpreter for the General and
party,
as none of them speak English.

STOCK EXCIIANOE.—We had a very Bat market to-day,
and comparatively little business was transacted. The chief
sales effected are for distant markets, but generally, so far as
Birmingham holders of stock are concerned, little disposi-
tion to sell is manifested. London and North-Westernswere
done at 124 for next account.

THE LONG DROUGHT.—Tbis is usually a summer
word, but we must apply it to the absence of ra►n in any ap-
preciable quantity, for one of the longest periods in early
spring that we remember. The heavy rains of January and
February gradually subsided, the last wet day being the
18th February. From that period to the present, the num-
ber of days on which any rain, snow, or sleet has fallen may
easily be enumerated. They are only the following seven :

• The Bill on the copper coinage, recently adopted
by the Legislative body, was presented to the Senate
on Monday, and immediately discussed and adopted.

Prince JEROME BONAPARTE opened his saloons at
the Luxsinbourg on Sunday evening, for the first
time. • The reception was most brilliant and nume-
rous. A great number of the diplomatic corps were
present, as were the President of the Legislative
Body, the Vice- President ef the Council of State,
and all the Ministers ; the Archbishops of Bourges, of
Paris, and of Bordeaux ; most of the Senators, and
a great number of the Legislative Body. Amongst
the 'ex-Peers of France and ex-Deputies present were
Duke Decaz,s, Ginned! Perncty, General Count St.
Cavaignac, Admiral Btudin, the Marquis de Boissy,
and the Marquis de Larochejsquelein. Amongst the
foreigners of distinction were Prince Nicolas de Nas-
sau, the Duke of Brunswick, General Count Ester-
hazy, General Ribinsky, &c.
On-Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, the wooden
barrack of the pyrotichnic establishment in the Bois
de Vincennes was blown up. It contained all the
rockets..with stars intended for the fireworks of the
10th May, All .the workmen were absent at break-
fast when the explosion.took.place. It is said tolave
been caused by the heating of the salts in the compo-
sition of the rockets, as they were not sufficiently
neutralised. • The loss is estimated at 60,000 f.
For some days past experiments have recommenced
art Vincennes with the howitzer invented by
.the
Pittisda-Paesini4i' of the Republic. This new piece
of artillery has produced still more decisive results
than fit, (lid_ last year. The PRINCE intends to be
present-at some of theMgis during the present we,4ls.___.
A trial of a new carabine intended for the cavalry
has also commenced at Vincennes.
The Moniteue de Armee states that the hat at
present worn by the gendarmery is to be before long
replaced by the high rough-haired caps worn by the
grenadiers: This change,. it is said, will take plate ,
about the month of July.
The following inscription is to be place in letters
of gold on the coffin of the Zurznoa at the lava-
lides:—
".Napoleon Bonaparte, born the 15th August, 1769,
chef d'escedron of artillery at the siege of Toulon, in
1793, at the age of 24; commander of artillery in Italy
in 1794, at the age of 25; general-in-chief of the army of '
Italy in 1797, at the age of 28; he made the expedition
to Egypt in 1798, at the age of 29; was nominated First
Consul in 1799, at 30; Consul for life after the.battle of
Marengo, in 1800; Emperor in 1804, at the age of 35; -'
abdicated after Waterloo in 1815, aged 45, and died the
sth May, 1821, aged 52."
The Moniteur du Loiret, after giving the details of
the approaching ceremony of delivering the colours to
the army, says :—" The date of May suggests to us
a curious reflection. On December 20, 1848, M.
MARRAST, in the name of the National Assembly,
proclaimed Louis NAPOLEON BONAPAETE President
of the French Republic to the second Sunday in May,
1852. It was, then, on Monday, the 10th May next,
that Louis NAPOLEON appeared &tally condemned to
return to private life. But that is precisely the day
on which will take place the military fete, the solem-
nity and brilliancy of which will be, as it were, a new
consecration of his government.

The long-announced opera of Le jay' Errant,
composed by M: HALEY; and written by MM.
Scams and Br. GEORGES, was produced at the
Grand Opera on Friday, and the expectations of the
public were in a great degree realized, for a more
gorgeous theatrical spectacle has probably never
been presented on the stage, and the music of M.
HALEVY exhibits all that scientific knowledge, and
command over the resources of the orchestra, for
which this able composer is already celebrated. The ,
literary portion of the work is, leis happy ; though the
authors have availed themselves of
,all the privileges
of the improbable to an extent amounting to the im-
possible, a libretto of less interest or less imagination
has seldom been published. The piece was, on the
whole, fairly but not remarkably executed ; the best
singing of the night was by Rime. TEDEMO, whose
fine lower notes have been made admirable use of by
fht.Evr. The choruses and orchestra performed
their dutit.s unexception..-thly, and on the latter rested
a serious part of the weight of the representation.
But the great clement of success is the scenery and
magnificent style , in which the opera is placed upon
the stage, the former displaying a series of perfect
chefs If teuvre in scenic art, and the splendour and
variety of costuutes, with the number of subor-
dinate figurants, filling up every picture in
a manner at once so complet and so dra-
matic as to render Le Juff Errant one of the most
remarkable pieces- ever presented to the public.
One or two of the scenes would hardly be tolerated
on thiEnglish stage. A representation of the day of
with the vale of Jeosaphat crowded
judgment is see'',
with the souls of the departed, while the angels of
death and judgment are heard calling the dead to re-
surrection• e are next introduced to the bottomless
pit, where countless demons are seen in full activity
pouncing on the condemned, and casting them into
Gehenna, while angels and seraphs lead the just to
the regions of eternal bliss, which are beheld in the
distance.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the inst.
It was reported that a difference of opinion existed
between the President of the Council and the Mi-
nister of the Interior relative to the new law on the
press ; the former being disposed to grant the conces-
sions demanded by the responsible editors of news-
papers, the latter insisting on the strict execution of
the law. But it was not believed that this discussion
would lead to any modification in the Cabinet.
The Funds had again fallen, the closing quotation of
the Threes was 43-A. The decline is said by the Epoca
to be owing to English holders having taken advan-
tage of the recent high prices to effect sales.
