and consists in insulating
the interior wires by means of indiarubber es well as gutta-
percha. These, after being laid up or twisted into a rope,
are passed through an anhydrous solution, and then covered
with spunyarn, and formed into a hempen rope, which is
again passed through another, but different, anhydrous solu-
tion. The whole is then passed through a wire rope ma-
chine, worked by steam, which encases the interior core in
a metallic wire rope, formed of 12 separate strands of 6 wires
each, or 72 wires, in all forming a solid 3-inch cable. These
plaits or close convolutions of wire are thought preferable
to the singe' spiral wire, es calculated to give greater flexi-
bility and strength, and to prevent any portion of the cable
from becoming unstranded. As it is manufactured it is
payed off the machine and formed into Flemish coil. The
cable is 70 miles long, allowing 10 miles for contingencies,
the distance from shore to shore being only 60 miles. There
are to be four Wires, making a total of 2SO miles of copper
wire, and of this 180 are completed.
CONVEYANCING COUNSEL.—Another feature in the
new Chancery practice to be adopted will be the ap-
pointment of conveyancing counsel. It
is lawful,
according
to the 41st section of the 15th and 16th of Victoria, cap. 80,
for the Lord Chancellor to nominate any number of convey-
ancing counsel in actual practice, not less than six, who
shall have practised as such for ten years at least, to be the
conveyancing counsel upon whose opinion the Court, or any
judge thereof, may act in the cases mentioned, and to supply
such vacancies in such list from time to time, and to distri-
bute the business among such counsel in such order and
manner as the Lord Chancellor shall deem fit. By the pre-
ceding section, the court and judges sitting at chambers are
empowered to receive and act upon the opinion of convey-
ancing counsel in actual practice in all cases in which, ac-
cording to the present practice of the Court and the Master's
office, it has been usual for the Master to require or receive
the opinion and aid of conveyancing counsel. The Taxing
Master is to regulate the fees to be paid to conveyancing
counsel.
DEPARTURE OF THE CANADA, STEAM-SHIP, FOR
HALIFAX AND BOSTON; AND OF ~„
SARAN SANDS,
SCREW. STEAMED, FOR AUSTRALIA.--On Saturday afternoon
the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship
Canada, Lang, commander, left Liverpool for Halifax and
Boston, with 140 passengers, a fair cargo, and the usual
mails, for the United States and the British American pro-
vinces. During the same night the screw-steamer, Sarah
Sands, Thompson commander, also left the Mersey, for
Queenstown, where she will take on board the London mails
of the 20th, and depart for Australia on the 21st. There
were only about 180 passengers on board when she left the
Liverpool dock, but it is expected that upwards of 400 alto-
gether will proceed in the Sarah Sands to Melbourne from

REPRESENTATION OF BURY ST • E Dmtnans.--mr.
Stuart's acceptance of the Vice-Chancellorship having
created a vacaucy in the representation of this borough, and
Mr. E. H. Banbury, the late Member, having decline,
a to
contest the borough, an invitation was sent to J. A. Hard-
castle, Esq., the late Member for Colchester, and that gen-
tleman has accepted the invitation, a, has issued an address
to the voters of Bury. Mr. Harden le on Thursday morning
commenced an active canvass, accompanied by the leading
by - members of the Whig par*, and was well received the
Liberal electors. From the well-known liberal principles of
the Hon. Gentleman, and his not being a stranger to the
' educated at the King
town (he having been Edward's
Grammar School), it is expected that the coming contest will
be very close, the last election having been—in spite of all
the influence used by Mr. Stuart's friends—lost by only nine
votes. Mr. J. H. P. Oakes (son of a banker in the town) is
the Derbyite candidate.
LONDON DISPENSARY. -- On Friday the usual
quarterly general court of the governors and subscribers to
this charity, established in 1777, was held in the board-
room of the institution, Church-street, Spitalfields, for the
purpose of receiving the managing committee's report, and
upon other business. The report stated that the charity was
making satisfactory progress, and that the average number
of patients, which was about two hundred per month, had
of late been greatly exceeded, most of the cases being those
of fever. Tuts had caused a much larger expenditure of the
funds placed at the disposal of the committee, and they,
therefore, expressed a hope that the public would come for-
ward and enable them still further to extend the benefits of
the charity. The minutes of the last court having been read
the meeting separated.
A CENTENARIAN.—An aged man, named Over-
throw, an inmate of St. Mary Magdalen Hospital, at Wot-
ton, near this city, celebrated his hundred and second birth-
day on Wednesday last, surrounded by some of his chil-
dren. On completing his hundredth year, the jolly old
gentleman offered to wager that he would walk a couple of
miles within an hour, but his friends declined to accept the
challenge.... Gloucester journal.
