SECRETARY (PRO TEM
Arthur Dovo", Esq.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex-
tending* the well-known iron ship-building establishment of
Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co., of HulL The capabilities
of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they
occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river
Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of
li3o fee.
The The present iron hip-building, power of the estab
is equal to the construction of 20,00 J tons per annum, at
which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs.
Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex-
ceeding 20,000 tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is
proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard,,
and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company i ave secu,
so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing
profitable demand for ships, and to erect rolling mills for the
manufacture of the iron required for ship builaing, as well as
for all kinds of railway and engineering works.
In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship-
building yards, there is a patent slip for repairingtheb ships of
the largest class. This is a highly profitable part oi
nese. The demand for the use of this patent slip been
such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Shasamuel-
s;,n and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some
years ago.
The situation of this establishment gives it special advan-
tages over others of a like character. The pri e of ship-build.

Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which
is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con-
ditions.
Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works.
The present orders in hand for ships, engines, and general
engineering work amount to above £300,C00, all at very rem-
' nerative prices.
Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who
have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted
with this branch of manufacture, show that after ma

The Woolwich Cadets.

The annual celebration of the athletic sports by
the Gentlemen Cadets of the Royal Military Aca-
demy took place. yesterday at Woolwich. The
weather was most agreeable, and the grounds were
filled with a numerous assemblage of visitors, ad-
mitted by printed tickets only. The sports com-
menced at 11 a.m., with the game of throwing the
cricket-ball, the best throw over a distance of 921
yards, having been made by Mr. Faushawe. This
was succeeded by a flat race, in which there were
26 competitors. The race was cleverly won by Mr.
Briscoe, Mr. Crookenden coming in second. At
half-past 11 Mr. Crookenden again came forward,
together with Mr. Medhurst and Mr. Moore, for
the third game, namely, standing high jump over a
raised bar 4ft. 2in. high. It was won by Mr. Med-
hurst. A running high jump followed next, over
a bar sft. 2in. high, which was admirably executed
by Mr. Dyce. A hurde race was next performed
over a distance of 130 yards and a flight of 12 hur-
dles. During this race, in which there were 21
competitors, Prince Arthur, accompanied by Major
Elphinstone, entered the grounds from Greenwich
Park, and took his place on the Grand Stand. He
was joined by Major-Gen. Sandham, the Lieut.-
Governor; Major-Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, com-
mending the garrison, and Staff, and other officers
and their families. This was a most interesting race.
Mr. Briscoe came in a good first, and was followed
by Mr. Awdry, second, and Mr. Medhurst third. A
fencing match next took place, and was gained by
Mr. Pulford. The seventh game consisted of
throwing a half-hundred weight, which was won by
Mr. Crookenden, whose final throw was 18ft 6in.
At a quarter past 1 a flat race commenced with 27
candidates. The race was well contested. The dis-
tance was 440 yards, which was accomplished in 69
seconds, Mr Briscoe coming in first, Mr. Pulford
second, and Mr. Dodsworth third. The next per-
formance was leaping with the pole. The best leap
was made by Mr. Beaver over a bar 9ft. 3in. high.
Then followed a most fatiguing race, one mile in
length, 32 starting in the contest and continuing it
with great spirit until within a few yards of the
goal, when the m,jority gave in. The race termi-
nated by Mr. Buckle coming in slightly in advance,
Mr. Blacksley second, and Mr. Curling third ; time,
4m. 55sec. After a single-stick match, which was
won by Mr. Medhurst, a steeplechase commenced
over 600 yards, gained by Mr. Medhurst, Mr.
Buckle second, and Mr. Awdry third; time- lm.
67sec. Putting the shot over a distance of 28 feet
2 inches was won by Mr. Awdry. Running wide
jump by Mr. Crookenden, 18 feet 8 inches. A :lin-
ing flat race was next entered by 36 runners, over
a distance of 880 yards, which was done in 2 min.
17 sec. Mr. Pullord and Mr. Buckle making a
dead heat, and Mr. Dodsworth a good third. A
most amusing hopping race next came on, and was
won by Mr. Crookenden. Afterwards there was a
hurdle race over 440 yards and 20 flights of hurdles.
This occupied only 1 min. 12 sec.—Mr, Awdry first,
Mr. Briscoe second, and Mr. Buckle third. The
consolation race commenced at 5 o'clock over a piece
of ground representing a rugged country, inter-
spersed with furze banks, and brooks five or six
feet deep. Some eight or ten cadets started for this
race, which caused considerable merriment, as they
plunged boldly, with one exception, into the first
brook. The race then lay with Mr. Tisdall alone,
who cleared the brooks and came in the winner.
The final, or 20th, game consisted of a strangers'
race of 200 yards over 15 hurdles, open to all comers,
and terminated shortly before 6, when the prizes
were awarded by Mrs. General Sandham, wife of
the Governor, in the following order :—To Mr.
Fanshawe an elegant dressing-ease ; to Mr. Briscoe
three prizes—a silver cup, a ring, dressing•case, and
opera glass ; Mr. Crookenden an opera glass, a pin,
a silver cup, a crop and spurs, and a desk ; Mr.
Awdry a locket, hunting-flask, a whip, and silver
cup; Mr: Dyce a set of studs, &c. ; Mr. Medhurst
a dressing•case, a fishing-rod, and silver cup; Mr.
Pulford, foils, &0., a ring, and cup ; Mr. Dods-
worth, a ridingwhip ; Mr. Beaver, a silver cup;
Mr. Buckle, a revolver, crop and spurs, a ring, a
powder-flask and shot pouch ; Mr. Black, a rifle ;
Mr. Clarke, a pipe ; Mr. Smythe, a pin ; Mr. Tisdall,
a cup ; Mr. Gower, a racket bat ; Mr. Briscoe, the
winner of most marks, a clock by the Lieutenant-
Governor ; and to Mr. Crookenden, the winner of
the greatest number of prizes, an opera glass, pre-
sented by Prince Arthur.

The French papers notice a project put forth by
M. Alexandre Lays, for the construction of a maritime
canal on Spanish soil which is to supersede the Straits of
Gibraltar, and to render " illusory the possession of the
fortified rock bearing that name." The capital required is,
it seems, about four millions sterling. The plans of M.
Lays have, it is stated, been carefully examined by compe-
tent persons, and the only thing now required is to find
some one willing to advance the money for carrying them
out. The dividend expected on the capital invested is not
mentioned.

Nothing can be more delightful than the weather
at Paris. The thermometer yesterday afternoon at three
marked 23 Centigrade (73 2.sths Fahrenheit).
THE UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH
COMPANY.—Yesterday, this new company opened
their offices in Edinburgh and Leith, so that " shilling
telegrams" may now be despatched from Edinburgh to
London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and all the
leading towns to which this company has opened commu.
nications. This is the first Scottish line of this company,
and it runs through Dalkeith, Jedburgh, &c., to
Newcastle, where it joins with the company's other
trunk lines. The Shilling Telegraph Company use
the printing instrument and relay system of Messrs.
Siemens and llalske, by which large towns are put in
direct communication with each other by a kind of auto-
matic manipulator, FO that the company have not only
brought us a boon of a " shilling telegram" system, but also
a kind of guarantee for efficient and quick working. This
company has also obtained the exclusive right to use Pro-
fessor Hughes' type• printing instrument, which prints the
messages in actual Roman type ; and the company are making
great preparations for extending the use of this instrument.
By means of this instrument a single wave of electricity
gives a complete letter, and at such an excessive speed
that the fastest writer cannot keep up to it. The company's
main trunk lines already open are from London to Liver-
pool, through Oxford, Leamington, Birmingham, Wolver-
hampton, Manchester, tkc.; also from London, through
Uxbridge, Nottingham, Sheffield, Wakefield, Leeds, Sun-
derland, Hartlepool, Newcastle, and Edinburgh, to Glas-
gow. Another trunk line runs through the west of Eng-
land, connecting nearly all the principal seaports. The
company's offices are situated at No. 1, Hanover-street,
Edinburgh, and in the Exchange-buildings, Constitution-
street, Leith.—Scotsman. •
