THE TELEGRAPH.—We have been favoured with
the result of four signals sent from Liverpool to Holyhead,
giving their exact time at one o'clock for the stations to
regulate the time-pieces, and at the same time to ask the
question, "Is there any thing to report ?" to which an
answer, either " Yes,"or " No," was received in the follow-
ing almost incredible short period :
Monday..... 3O seconds
Tuesday s2 do. do. 144 miles.
Thursday 3O do. do. 144 miles.
Friday 27 do. do. 144 miles.
Making an aggregate distance of 576 miles in one second
under two minutes. The weather during the week was
extremely unfavourable.—Liverpool Standard.

A scene occurred a day or two ago in the March
des Prouvaires only worthy of cannibals. Two boys, who
had quarrelled, fought with the ferocity of bull-dogs, biting
and tearing each other's flesh with the most savage fury.
At length, tired of this, one plunged his knife into the groin
of his adversary, and this put an end to the contest. The
wounded boy was carried into the restaurant of M. Court,
who drew out the knife, still sticking in his groin. A me-
dical gentleman who happened to be on the spot paid the
unfortunate boy all the attention his case required ; and the
other boy has been taken into custody.—French Paper.

We learn by a letter from Florence, 15th inst. given
by the Augsburg Gazette, that several cases of cholera had
occurred at Pisa and its environs, and caused a general
alarm, which, however, lasted but a few days, as several
had since passed without any one being attacked It appears
that the disease has nearly ceased at Leghorn, whence up-
wards of '20,000 persons had fled to Pias, Florence, and
other neighbouring places. Several of these fugitives have
died, but few of the residents have suffered.

It was only on Wednesday the Sheriffs, the City
Gaol Committee, and a great number of gentlemen, in-
spected the alterations and improvements which have re-
cently been made in the gaol of Newgate, when it was the
concurrent opinion of all that escape in future would be im-
possible. Yesterday morning, however, while removing
from one part of the prison to another, a man of the name
of Vidler seized a rope, which had been carelessly left, and
found his way to the top of the prison in a trice, and de-
scended by the aid of the rope from the summit into War-
wick-square. The prisoner was under sentence of trans-
portation for life, for horse-stealing, and would have been
removed to the hulks to-morrow. As he is well known,
there is very little doubt but he will be re-captured.
