CHRISTIANIA, MARCH 2

The Morgenbladeo censures the .policy of Den-

CATTLE DISEASE 11tEVENTION.

Sir M. sTENVAitT asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Hume Department, whether, considering the short
time that had been afforded for the consideration of the
" Cattle Diseases Prevention" and " Cattle, &c., Impor-
tation" Bills, and the importance of the interests concernsd,
he would postpone until atter Easter the second reading of
these bills P

bin BRUCE said that bill had been in the hands of hon.
members for three weeks.

THE GALWAY CONTRACT.

Mr. BAXTER. asked the Secretary to the Treasury,
whether there was any truth in the following statement, ex-
tracted from the Galway Gazette;—" The directors of the
Atlantic Company have applied to the Post-office authori-
ties for permission to discontinue the mail service between
Galway and America until June next. They have
also intimated their intention of entering upon
negotiations with another company for the use of steamer s
to commence the service at that time, as the ships of the
company will not be in readiness to sail even then. The
directors are reported to be of opinion that they can never
carry out their contract with the ships at present in their
possession, and will, in all probability, endeavour to effect a
sale of their interest in the project, with a transfer of the radii
subsidy, to some existing company more capable of carrying
out the project than they are :" also, in how many Lastances
the vessels of the company have kept contract time : and,
if her Majesty's Government is still of opinion that this
service is a great public benefit to Ireland.
_ _

Mr. PEEL said that the Alexandra Company had ap-
plied to Government to allow the contract to be suspended
until June next, and were engaged in negotiations that
they believed would enable them to commence operations
about that time. Luring the aim months' contract the com-
pany had failed in four voyages. (Laughter.)
VACCINATION,

In reply to Mr. Biartzs,
Mr. LO WE said that he was not aware that any bill
on this subject would be introduced this session.
LOCAL LEGISLATION IN AUSTRALIA.
Mr. CHILDERS asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies whether any despatch had been received
by a recent mail from South Australia, intimating that Mr.
Justice Boothby (one of the judges of the Supreme Court
of that province) had decided that all the local legislation
of the colony since 1850 was invalid, and had on that ground
refused to administer one of such acts ; and if so, what
course her Majesty's Government intended to take to
remedy the evils which must arise from such a decision ?
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that a communication on the
subject had been received, and he trusted that measures
would be adopted that would remove any doubt in reference
to the same.

ON CHLORATE Or POTASSA AND ITS USE IN OXYDISING

THE BLOOD.
Dll. I. P. SARGEANT, M.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
(18351, will shortly repeat his Lecture on this subject
at St. James's Hall, Piocadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,
and sarsaparilla.-56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE,
(Before the Judge-Ordinary and a Common Jury.)
HALL v. HALL AND StALL.
This was a suit instituted by the husband, an auc-
tioneer, residing at Banbury, against his wife, by reason
of her adultery with the co-respondent, a nephew of the
petitioner.
The marriage took place in 15 3, and they resided hap-
pily together at Banbury till 161;3.The co-respondent, a
young farmer, residing at Stockton, near Banbury, was
on vtay intimate and visiting terms with h;s uncle, the
petitioner. Since that time he had sold off his stock and his
farm, having also a sum of £l,OOO which hud been lefthizu by
will, with the intention of proceeding to Australia, ho
being a taarri©d man with three children. The petitioner
had no suspicion of the want of fidelity on the part
of his wife until the month of July last, when she expressed
a desire to visit her friends at Brighton during the painting
and repairing of their house, to which the petitioner
assent/el, and arrangements were accordingly made for
the journey. To his amazement ha was afterwards in-
formed that his wife had been joined by his nephew
at the place where they occupied the same apartments in
the house of Mr. Lorimer° front the 28th of Juno to the
29th of July. On the respondent's returning home the pe-
titioner, having been informed of her infidelity, refused to
received her back when she wrote a very penitent letter
acknowledging her fault, and praying and imploring for-
giveness. The petitioner refused, and instituted the present
proceedings to dissolve the marriage of which there was no
issue.

At the conclusion of the evidence,
The learned Judge said the adultery had keen clearly

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCII 5, 1864.

The panic which occurred a day or two since at
the:Paris Bourse, has, when we come to look into it,
a threefold and very remarkable significance. It
arose oat of a sudden flying rumour first whispered
about, at eleven o'clock at night on Wednesday last,
in the official salon in the Duo D'AloßNY's palatial
residence on the Quai d'Orsay, where that emi-
nent functionary was holding his weekly reception,
as President of the Corps Legislatif. The
rumour then ran there to the effect that his
Holiness Pope Pita the Ninth was
dead. Happily this rumour proved--as could
alone have been expected from the remembrance
that according to the last advices from Rome the
health of the Sovereign Pontiff was as satisfactory
as possible—wholly and completely without any
foundation whatever. The falsity of the report,
however, was
not credited until the report had
found its Way
to the Bourse, and there created
the panic to which we have alluded. And it is
this, moreover, we 'an that has, when it comes to
be looked into, s°/er

so distinctly threefold a significance. It

CANTERBURY HALL,
The Fairy Entertainment, entitled

PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
vell, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of " The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when " Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'ceil of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1864.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHIC COMPANY,

The ordinary half-yearly meeting was held yes-
terday at the London Tavern—Sir I. Carmichael in
the chair.
The report states that the receipts for the past
half-year, derived from 185,380 messages, amount
to £25,184 Is. 23-d.; for the half-year ending 30th
June, 1863, from 160,404 messages, £22,144 2s.
Bd.; and for the half-year ending 31st December,
1862, from 172,881 messages, £23,427 ss. 60.
Since the last meeting of shareholders a considers-
able reduction has been made by the different
administrations in Germany in their internal tariff,
which, it is expected, will cantle a still further in-
crease in the traffic. Owing to the prevalence of
the unusually tempestuous weather during the
autumn of last year several of the cables suffered,
unfortunately, considerable damage, and have
burdened the revenue with much larger expenditure
than usual for repairs. Notwithstanding, however,
this additional outlay, the directors are enabled to
recommend a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum, although the capital has been largely in-
creased by the issue of the new stock ; to add the
sum of 1:2,518 Bs. 2d., being 10 per cent. on the
receipts, to the reserve fund (which will then amount
to £6,441 75.); and to carry over £774 13s. 9id.
to the next account. After referring to the death
of Mr. Brett, the directors announce Mr. J. Stuart
Wortley and Mr. H. Moor, M.P., as candidates for
the two vacant seats at the board. They also
mention the resignation of Mr. Courtenay, the late
secretary, and the appointment of Mr. Clare as his
successor.

Oxford and Cambridge Athletic Sports.

OXFORD, Friday Evening.
Ai the fixture for the Oxford and Cambridge athletic
sports approaches the interest of the public in the event in•
creases, and there is a general desire that they may come
off without let or hindrance. The fine open weather to-
day has had a very beneficial effect on the ground, and,
although "heavy going,' it will be better than might be
anticipated from the recent rains.

Mr, Lawes, of Cambridge, and a host of his fellow-col-
lsgians, have arrived to-day, and to-morrow morning a
special train from Cambridge will bring a more numerous
body of Cantabs. There seems a desire to back the " light
blue to win the majority of the events; but, as
one of those, viz., the long jump, is a certainty, the Oxonians
are shy, although the high jump may be almost looked upon
as a foregone conclusion on the part of Oxford. The mile
race engrosses most attention, and from the time taken by
the champions of both universities, it looks a good thing for
Mr. Lawes, whose partisans are backing him freely. The
100 yards race, quarter of a mile ditto, 120 yards hurdle
race, 250 yards ditto, and steeplechase, the remaining six
events, would puzzle the moat accurate observer, and until
the fiat of the judge goes forth it will be a difficult task to
point to a winner. The sports will commence as soon as
possible after the arrival of the " special" so that the oppor-
tunity of witnessing them and returning to Cambridge the
same evening will not be lost.

PROOF CABLES.

Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, if the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty were aware, when
they issued the advertisement dated 19th Jan., 1864, an-
nouncing that the Transport Board have no objection to the
reception of Messrs. Brown, Lennox, and Co.'s certificate of
proof of cables for ships hired by that department tip to Ist
July, 1864, instead of those required by Lloyds' committee,
that Lloyd's committee had extended the same privileges to
many other manufacturers as they had done to Brown,
Lennox, and Co. ; and whether the Admiralty would there-
fore, on application being made by any of the chain makers
whose certificates were recognised by Lloyds, be,prepared
to extend to such chain makers the same privilege as they
have granted to Messrs. Brown, Lennox, and Co., and to
notify the same by public advertisement, as they did in
January last in respect to Messrs. Brown, Lennox, and
Co.; and whether the navy estimates would be proceeded
with on Monday.

Lord C. PAGET replied in the negatiTe to the last ques-
tion. lie was not aware that there was any other firms
besides those mentioned had applied to be allowed to test
cables up to July next, but if applied to the Admiralty
would be prepared to consider the matter fairly.
➢IETROPOLITAN RAILWAYS.
In reply to Mr. HASSARD,

Mr. M. GIBSON said he intended to call attention on
Monday to the report of the select committee, and to move
that certain undertakings ehould not be allowed to be pro-
ceeded with.
