• PRINCE ARTHUR.—His Royal Highness Prince
Arthur, accompanied by Major Elphinstone, left
Blackheath yesterday morning in a private carriage, and
proceeded to Woolwich Dockyard, where his Royal High-
ness and suite embarked at twelve o'clock on board the
Admiralty steam-vessel Vivid, Master-Commander Suli-
van, for Antwerp, to join her Majesty and the Royal
family on the Continent. The arrangements of the em-
barkation were under the direction of Commodore Hugh
Dunlop, as flag-officer of the port. The Vivid steamed
down the river about half-past twelve o'clock, and a tele-
graphic message announcing her arrival at the Noro after
a very rapid run was subsequently received by the com-
modore-superintendent.

THE KING OF THE BELGIANS.—The King of the
Belgians, accompanied by the Duchess de Brabant, left
Brussels on Thursday for Ostend. His Majesty appeared
to be in excellent health. He took his place in the railway
carriage without assistance. His Majesty's absence will
probably extend to the Ist of September, at which date the
Queen of England is expected at Bakken.

His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador has left
Chandos House on leave of absence, and is gone to join
the Countess Apponyi at Ischl.

The Duchess (Emily) of Beaufort has left town
on a visit to Lord and Lady Londesborough at Grimaton
Park, near Tadcaster.
The Countess of Clonmel and the Ladies Soott
have arrived at Farrance's Hotel from Llandudno, North
Wales.

Lord and Lady Londesborough left town. on
Saturday for Grimston Park, Yorkshire, where they will
entertain a large party during the York races.

Atlantic Telegraph Company.

The several Boards of the companies interested in the
Atlantic Telegraph Cable held meetings yesterday to con-
sider their position under the temporary disappointment
which has occurred. Of course, at so short a notice no
specific course has been definitely settled, but we are at
liberty to state that a spirit of the utmost confidence in the
realisation of a great success during the spring of next year
prevailed in every quarter. The necessary overhauling of
the Great Eastern's boilers, the construction of new haul-
ing-in-gear, the manufacture of new rope, and other work
would, it is found, occupy too much time to allow of
another expedition being sent to sea this year with a cer-
tainty of success, but not the slightest doubt exists as to
finding with the greatest precision the position of the
broken end by solar observation, or raising and repairing
it with proper apparatus in May or June next.

The several companies are animated by the single prin-
ciple of determination to perfect the telegraphic connexion
between Europe and America, and are acting in perfect
harmony.

Immediate and energetic action will be taken not only to
complete during next sprang the laying of the present cable,
which has proved to be by recent experience perfectly
practicable, but to submerge another by its side, it being
the unanimous opinion of the directors of the Construction
Company and those of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
that economy and permanent efficiency will be most securely
attained by preparing immediately to lay a second cable
simultaneously with the completion of the first.

A SHILLING HOUSE OF Comm°Ns—if such a
thing can be imagined—has just been issued from
the press by Mr. Hardwicke, of 192, Piccadilly. It is
the eleventh year of publication for this little guide,-
book. Its contents appear undor the supervision of Mr.
Edward Walford, and will be found a valuable as well as a
handy index to the New Parliament.
A SIXPENNY GUIDE TO PRINTING AND PUBLISH-
ING—appears from the City Press, or Steam Print-
ing Works of Mr. W. H. (Jollingridge. It is about the
ablest guide anywhere to be found to all the ins and outs
of Printing and Publishing.

MAJOR F. H. DE VERE.—The latest intelligence
with regard to the condition of Major F. H. De Vere is
that after a most anxious night the inflammatory engorge-
ment of both lungs has yielded to the remedial measures,
and has partially subsided. Mr. Fergusson, the eminent
surgeon, visited Major De Vero at Chatham yesterday after-
noon, and concurred with Dr. Cockburn in viewing the
case as not altogether hopeless.
WINDSOR AND ETON HUMANE SOClETY.—Yester-
day afternoon a series of swimming and diving
matches, the competitors being youths belonging to the
towns of Windsor and Eton, came off at Athens, the
bathing resort of the Eton boys on the Bucks side of the
Thames. The contest took place under the auspices of
the Windsor and Eton Humane Society, which annually
offers a number of money prizes in order to encourage pro-
ficiency in the art of swimming. The prizes are raised by
subscription, Eton College, it is understood, having this
year contributed very liberally towards this laudable object.
The river side, on which a marquee had been erected and
flags placed, was thronged with spectators, while a num-
ber of punts and pleasure boats were moored in the stream.
The youthful swimmers, who were very numerous, showed
a great deal of dexterity, the contests being extremely
exciting.

SUICIDE BY A YOUNG WOMAN.—On Saturday
afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coro-
ner, held an inquest at the Caledonian Tavern, Stoke New
on the body of Miss Mary Ann Fryar, aged
20 years, who shot herself with a revolver. Mr. Franit
Stannard, 7, Somerford-grove, Stoke-Newington, was
examined, and said he was a Custom-house agent. The
deceased, who had lived with him as housekeeper and as
wife, was on a visit to him at the time of her death. They
had somo words. She called him a liar, and he said, The
lie is on your side." Remarking that he should never sal
that again she rushed out of the room, and, snatching up
loaded revolver, which was in another apartment, shot
herself through the head. After some further evidence,
the jury found that deceased had destroyed herself while in
an unsound state of mind.
LARGE TAKE OF TYNE SALMON.—The take of
salmon at the mouth of the Tyne during the last
few days has been large. In one case 135 fine large sal-
mon and 35 grilse were caught and sent to Newcastle. On
Saturday there was an immense take of this noble fish in
the Tyne, especially at Newburn. Cart loads reached
Newcastle in the morning, and found a ready sale at the
various fishmongers' shops in the town, at 9d. per lb., °
price much cheaper than butcher meat. It is many years
since such a large quantity of salmon has been taken i°
onb tide in the Tyne. If measures were adopted for a
mitigation of the abominations which are poured intone°
Tyne from sewers, manufactories, and other sources, 's
can be little doubt but the Tyne would regain its charac-
ter as one of the finest salmon rivers in the kingdom!

THE SUFFOLK POISONING CASE.—The. Clr
stances of the case of poisoning at Rickinghall, near '2l'°,
Suffolk, having been considered by Mr. G. A. Partridge,
the coroner for the district, that gentleman has ordered
the exhumation of the body of another of Silver's children'
who died about a month previously to the one upon who
an inquest has been held. The order has been compile:.
with, and Mr. Image, of Bury St. Edmunds, is nod' Per
forming the process of analysis.
