It would be difficult to state with certainty the amount of reve-
nue which may be anticipated from the establishment of the Sub-
Marine Telegraph. Careful estimates have been made by persons
competent to undertake this part of the subjeet. The Telegraph is
capable of printing one hundred messages of fifteen words each, in
one hundred consecutive minutes; and if the whole of the commu-
nications between Europe, Great Britain, India, and America, might
be supposed to employ eight wires twelve hours a-da . it would give
the large income of 96,0001. per annum, at a tariff of one shilling
only per message of fifteen words. It is believed to be no more than
a fair calculation to place the probable income at 25,0001. per annum,
which, after allowing a sufficient amount for working expenses and
maintenance .of Telegraph. will return a very liberal per tentage on
the Capital employed.
The following sources may be named from which a considerable
proportion of the revenue will be derived :—viz., Government Dls-
.patches of the different countries; the Press, English and Foreign;
the Public Funds; the Paris Bourse and London Stock Exchange;
Bankers ; Merchants ; " Lloyd's " Correspondents ; the Markets ;
the India Mails ; the communication.; of Manufacturers ; Ship-
owners; the private Messages of Travellers, and other individuals;
In short, every description of intelligence that is capable of being
conveyed by electric agency. There can be no doubt that the em-
ployment of the Telegraph will progress as its usefulness is estab-
lished, until, like railways, it will become a political, A commercial,
and a social necessity : and that the undertaking, which mi,,ht be
brought forward on national grounds alone, will prove to be a sound
commercial speculation.

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. Ile may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

the magistrate, and she signed it; after that no fur-
ther questions were put to her. Mrs. Taylor was
examined at the police court, and the prisoner was
remanded.

The CORONER now suggested that the examination
of the daughter of the prisoner should take place.
The announcement excited some sensation among the
jury and those present.

- The girl was then admitted. She is ordinary look-
ing, with an expression of face anything but agree-
able. She held her head down during her examina-
tion, and occasionally cried. Being sworn, she said
her name was Anne Eastwood, and she was 16 years
of age. The deceased was her mother-in-law, and
her name was Elizabeth. She did not know whether
she had any other name. Her father's name was
William; he worked for Mr. Stewart, of Putney
as a labourer ; he was 46 years of age. On
the 3(1 of this month she went to a place of
service, and left her home at about half-past nine
in the morning. At about seven o'clock the next
morning she heard that something had happened,
and she went home. She did not leave deceased till
near her death. She went with the child to a neigh-
hour's. Was not absent twenty minutes, and on her
return she found her mother-in-law dead. She saw
her father at Horsemonger-lane Gaol on Friday.
She went to ascertain whether he knew of his wife'.
death. Her father had taught her to read, but she
could not write. He had set her copies on a slate.
Examined by Mr. Gum mi—My mother-in,law
was often tipsy, and once threatened she would drown
herself. She has said nay father bad connexion with
me, but there was no pretence for it. She was always
taunting him.
The inquiry having been now brought to a con-
clusion, _ _ .

The CORONBB summed up the evidence, remarking,
with considerable clearness, on the principal points
affecting the prisoner, and concluded by anticipating
their verdict would be no other than murder.
The room was then cleared, and after more than an
hour's deliberation the jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful murder against William Eastwood."

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LEWES
AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.
LEWES, SATURDAY EVENING.—The proceedings
opened before Mr. Gell and a jury of freeholders, re-
specting the recent deplorable occurrence on the
Brighton and Lewes ,line, was resumed for the third
time at the Shire-hall of this town at nine o'clock this
morning.
Mr. Lain, the chairman of the company, Mr.
Slight, the secretary, Mr. Faithful, the solicitor, and
Mr. Craven, the locomotive superintendent, were
again in attendance.
The evidence having been closed, the CORONER
proceeded to sum up. Having gone through the
evidence, he said the first questioa they had to decide
was the cause of the accident. If they were satisfied
that it arose from the sleeper, then they would con-
sider whether it was so placed intentionally, and
whether the evidence was so far satisfactory as to lead
them in fixing the guilty party. For his own
part he did not see that quite clear, but it was for
them to judge.
The jury retired, and after being away for nearly
an hour and a quarter they came into court with the
following as their verdict :—" We find that the deaths
of the deceased were caused by the train running off
the rails and passing over the Newmarket archway ;
that a broken sleeper was found on the spot after the
accident, but by what means it came there does not
appear to the jury; that in this instance the tender
preceded the engine, and that the train passed down
the Faliner incline at a greater rate than directed by
the company, and the jury are of opinion that such
'practices were dangerous, and that had the engine
been placed first, or the tender been provided with
iron guards, the probability of safety would have
been much increased; that the jury express their regret
that so much connected with this accident should
have been moved before their inspection, by which
they were prevented from so complete an examination
as otherwise might have been afforded."
The proceedings closed shortly after five o'clock.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-ADMIRAL SIR CHARLES MALCOLM.

The death of this gallant and distinguished officer
was very generally reported yesterday; and we are
sorry to believe the report to be correct. With our-
selves, the whole service will lament the death of this
good- man—a true British officer in every sense of the
word—one whose characteristics were liberality, gene-
rosity, philanthropy, and gallantry; and whilst pos-
sessing all these superior qualities, which make a man
estimable in every relation of life, he added to his other
endearing acquisitions a warm appreciation of all that
was good, rn.ble, and admirable to those who had the
honour of his acquaintance.
We have not space to-day for O'Byrne's sketch of Sir
Charles Malcolm's twenty-six years of active career in
the navy. We can only remark that it was as brilliant
as it was useful, and that he was no less distinguished
by his gallantry against the enemy than for the improve-
ments he has been the instrument of carrying out in his
profession, and for the unceasing support he has ren-
dered to scientific undertakings.
Sir Charles Malcohn's name and rank constantly re-
mind as of the late Sir Pulteney Malcolm, G.C.8., his
elder brother, the celebrated commander at the Donegal.
He was also brother of the late General Sir John Mal-
colm, G.C.8., and of the late Colonel of Marines, Sir
James Malcolm, K.C.8., who was with Lord Howe at
the relief of Gibraltar, &C. A fourth brother died a
lieutenant in the navy; three sons and a daughter sur-
vive, and two of the former we believe are in the navy.
The promotions that will take place consequent on Sir
Charles Malcolm's decease are the following:—
Rear-Admiral the Hon. Glanville Leveson Proby be-
comes vice-admiral of the blue, vice T. Brown, to be
vice-admiral of the white, vice the Hon. G. Elliot, C. 13.,
to be vice•admiral of the rod.
Captain Houston Stewart, C.B. (June 10, 1817), one
of the Lords of the Admiralty, becomes rear-admiral of
the blue, vice Sir P. A. Green, K.C.H., to be rear-ad-
miral of the white, vice Hon. W. Gordon, to be rear-
admiral of the red.
Retired Captains J. A. Murray, Thomas Renwick,
Henry Iligman, George Howson, J. M. Ferguson, John
Gourly, A. Baldwin, and H. C. Deacon (1817), being
senior to Captain Stewart, become retired rear-admirals
without any increase of pay.
Lord Radstock, C. 8., will then be the senior rear-
admiral for promotion, and Sir John Ross, C.B. (1818),
now in the Arctic regions, will be the senior captain
on the list. Captain F. W. Pennell comes within the
14s. 6d. halflay list, and G. A. Elliot, within the
12s. 6d. list.

A captain's good-service penston also reverts to the
patronage of the First Lord of the Admiralty.—Herald.
ROYAL MARINE GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—The First
Lord of the Admiralty has conferred the good-service
pension of 1501. per annum, which was held by the late
Colonel It'Callum, on Colonel Samuel Burden Ellis,
C.B. This is a most fair and just selection. Colonel
Ellis served in the Ajax, in Calder's action, and at Tra
falgar; and was commander of the Marines in the Chi-
nese war.

PLYMOUTH ROYAL NAVAL CLUB.—The members of
this club dine together on Tuesday next (to-morrow),
the anniversary of the battle of Bunker's-hill. June 17th,
1775, in which the gallant corps of Royal Marines took
so distinguished a part. A large party is expected to
meat on the occasion.

Surgeon James Holbrook (1809), on the retired list,
died at Cheltenham, June 11, aged 63.
Paymaster Cornelius M`Dermott (1809), died last
week at Portsea.
EXPEDITION IN REPAIRING THE DAMAGE OF THE RE.
TRIDIITION.—The Retribution, 28, Captain Warden, was
taken into the large new dock at Portsmouth on Friday
last; it was about two o'clock P.N. when the water was
pumped out, and the shipwrights sot to work; at about
eleven o'clock on Saturday morning she was again taken
out of the dock, having had her damage made good. The
shipwrights worked by flambeau light till ten at night
and recommencod at three in the morning, and by ten
o'clock had set all to rights, having put in amidships about
80 feet of false keel, forwards 25 feet of false keel, a
scarfing piece in the main keel, two pieces of planking
where it had been rubbed nearly through, and 225 sheets
of new copper. This was accomplished by the perse-
verance of the dockyard authorities, whose zeal and
energy cannot be too much applauded; many competent
persons having imagined that her repairs could not have
been completed in less than three days; the ship was
actually only in dock 24 hours. To make room for the

the latter the ship's company
will live, leaving her fine

Wellesley,
to
the

t"
Her Majesty's ship
• Spithead, June, 1851.
" Dear Captain Goldsmith,—The constant intercourse
incident to our official duties has originated and confirmed
in my mind sentiments of friendship and esteem towards
you which time cannot efface; but as this intercourse
will cease to-day, permit me through you, as Captain of
the ship, to offer to Commander Schomberg, to Lieute-
nant May, to Captain Mitford, and to the superior naval
and marine officers under your command, the assurance
of my unqualified approbation of the uniform tenour of
their conduct, and of the mutual forbearance, so credit-
able to their judgment, which has maintained uninter-
rupted harmony.
" The excellent counsel promulgated in the judicious
discourses of the Rev. Mr. Parish, has contributed to
the most salutary results; and it is gratifying to add that
the zeal, attention, and steady demeanour of the warrant
officers, and the quiet and very orderly conduct of the
petty officers and se Amen, impose on me the pleasing and
satisfactory duty of conve)iog to the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty these facts, so praiseworthy
and beneficial to the service.

" With feelings on this occasion of no ordinary occur-
rence, believe me, dear Captain Goldsmith, yours sin-
cerely, " DUNDONALD."
W e understand that the 43d Regiment, now at Clonmel,
is under orders to embark immediately for the Cape.
