THE PEABODY OBSEQUIES.

The New York papers of February 1 describe the be•:
ginning of the ceremonies which took place in honour of
the late Mr. Peabody, and the interest which was excited
among the people. From all quarters marks of respect
were paid to the departed philanthropist, and a constant
stream of visitors passed in and out of the City Hall,
where the remains were lying in state. Thousands
came in by the early morning trains from distant cities.
The scene in the mortuary chapel was most impressive.
The New York Herald observes that no spectacle of the
kind was ever before witnessed there, and in an artistic,
paint of view it is generally believed to almost approach
the scene on the occasion of the funeral of the Duke
of Wellington, and to even rival the profuse
and elaborate emblems of mourning at the ob;e-
quies of the late Prince Albert and President Lincoln.
Admiral Farragut was among the first to pay his respects.

This Company has been formed to take over and extend
the w 11 known works of Mr. William Hooper, for the
manufacture of indiarubber core for telegraphic purposes,
and to add thereto the business of covering the core for
submarine cables, and submerging and maintaining the
same, whereby the Company will be enabl,:d to execute
the largest contracts for the manufacture of submarine and
land telegraphs. -
The value of Mr. Hooper's process for the manufacture
of core is now fully recognised. He has successfully carried
on his present business, and, with a comparatively small
capital, has made very large profits, sufficient to ensure out
of that branch of the business alone a handsome return on
the whole capital cf the company ; and, when the other
branches have been added, it is but fair to conclude that
the profits of this undertaking will favourably compare
with those of the existing companies.
Mr. Hooper has already manufactured, according to his
process, the cores for the following cat-les, all of which aro
in perfect working order, viz.:—Ceylon to the mainland of
India, the Persian Gulf cable, laid last year by the Indian
Government ; England to Denmark, Danish- Russian cable
(one section), Scotland to Norway, Sweden to Russia, be-
sides upwards of 500 miles laid in various parts of India,
Brazil, Australia, dm
Mr. Latimer Clark, while engaged as engineer and elec-
trician to the Indian Government, in a letter addressed to
Mr. Hooper from Bombay so recently as the faith October,
1869, says, in reference to a cable submerged in the Persian
Gulf:—" We have been examining, and I am bringing
home a specimen, of the very first sample of core which
you sent out in 1863 to the Persian Gulf, and which
has had no special care taken of it; it is as perfect as when
it first left England, and can in no way be distinguished
from a new sample fresh cut of the factory."
The Company, while posiessed of the exclusive right
to use Mr. Ilooper's process for the manufacture of india-
rubber core, will be prepared also to contract fur cables
with gutta perch,' core.
Mr. Hooper has contracted wilt the Great NO:there
Telegraph China and Japan Extension Company for the
manufacture of their cables, 2,300 miles in length, for
£396,000, and it is one of the terms of the agreement be-
tween Mr. peeper and the Company that two-thirds of
all profits from this contract slut!' belong to this Com-
pany, which will thus enter on actual and highly remune-
rative operations at once. Mr. Hooper has already made
considerable progress with this contract.

Mr. Hooper's works at Mitcham, which are capable of
executing large contracts for core, will be taken over for
£65,000. Mr. Hooper's consideration for patents and
goodwill will he entirely contingent on the success of the
Company, and consists of one half of the net profits of
each year after i per cent. per annum has first been paid
to the shareholders. At the end of 10 years the whole of
the profits will accrue to the Company.
Copies of the articles of association and of the agree-
ment with Mr. Hooper can be seen at the offices of the
solicitors of the Company.

panied by a deposit of .£1 per share, can be left with the
