THE SUBMAIIINE TELEGI?dPII.

Dovaaa SATURDAY.-7Yesterday, the great able,
for telegraphic communiecion between this country
and the Continent, the progressive stapes of which
. have already been recorded, was at length completed
by carrying it up one mile out of the sea to Sangatte,
on the Cal is coast. Telegraphic communication be-
tween Calais end the South Forelend—the latter about
three miles from Dover—was, practically, zed, for the
first time through a perfected sea cable, effected be-
tween coast and coast; and it is therefore hoped that
ne interruption will arise to continuous and success-
fill telegraphic intercourse, when arrangements at
present pending are completed. The portion of cable
that has just been added on the main length is one
mile long, and was manufactured during. the week
at Wapping, in the same way as the entire cable,
and: was. worked off the wire rope machine in about
a day. It left the Thames on Tuesday by the
Red Rover steamer; and though only weighing be-
tween seven and eight tons, it had to be taken to
Dover. and Sangatte by water, as it could not be
conveniently coiled up into the compass of a rail-
way truck, and sent by the South-Eastern Railway,
which would have been the means of forwarding it
faster. On arriving at the point on the French coast
where the extremity of the cable, a mile out at sea,
was anchored
_to the pilot buoy, the Red Rover was
joined by the Fearless, Captain Bullock, R.N., who
has remained upon the spot until the operations should
be completed. Here the end of the submerged cable
was hauled up by the workmen on board the steamer,
and the additional mile spliced on to complete it, the
"join" being secured by iron clamps screwed over it.
The inner cores of copper wires were braized together,
and the overlapping strands of gutta percha, bitumized
yarn, and galvanized iron wire securely interwoven.
As calm a state of high water as possible was selected
by Captain Bullock for the purpose, so as to prevent
the pitching of the vessel from affecting so nice an
operation. The part of the cable where the "join"
occurs is thought to be as strong as any part where
nothing of the.kind occurs ; but is is curious that it
should exist at this particular place, where it will have
to contend against the ebrasion of shingle on the beach
and other casualties, and which in the experiment of
last year sawed asunder the gutta percha cable on the
rocks round Caps Girsnez. The communication is
now perfect between coast and coast, though it suited
parties and purposes to say it was so before. Captain
Bullock, who co-operated throughout with his valuable
nautical knowledge, left Calais to-day with the Fear-
less for Portsmouth; and it is only fair to mention
that the unskilful manner in which the cable was paid
out, and which resulted in its short coming, is gene-
rally attributed here to the engineers and not to those
who piloted the expedition, and who state that one of
the chief causes of the cable running short arose from
the fact that while the B'azer was being towed out
by the Fearless at only two miles an hour, the cable
at certain intervals was run out at tin:rate of four and
five miles an hour, which necessarily caused it, from
want of regularity in the delivery motion, to take the
sea-bottom in a series of loops or "kinks," thus ac-
counting for.each mile of cable not covering its allotted
mile of sea. The affair since it happened has been
the general subject of conversation here, particularly
among the sea worthies, who ask how it was " the
landlubbers did not take out enough yarn," and - that
in this case the " miss was good as a mile." It is
now regretted that Mr. Cubitt, the company's head
engineer, and who is well known for marine engineer-
ing, was not, present with the expedition.
It is not yet known at what precise date the wires
to connect the cable at the South Foreland with the
telegraph-office of the South-Eastern Company here
will be completed, but this would bo only the work
of a day or so, as during the past week the connecting
wires for the purpose have been manufactured. They
consist of the usual copper wires enclosed in gutta
percha, the latter to protect it, being covered with
spun yarn., it being known that gutta perche, on ex-
pesure, expands with heat end contracts with cold.
The wires, forming about a two inch chord in diame-
ter, will have to be run for about three miles along
the coast intervening between Dover and the South
Foreland. Some negotiations have been going on be-
tween the promoters -of the Submarine Telegraph
Company and the South-Eastern Railway Company,
with the view of establishing some working arrange-
ment, but nothing conclusive has been come to,
though it is understood that something in the nature
of a toll arrangement for working over each other's
wires, similar to the working of railways over one
another's lines, will bo arrived at. On the other
hand, it is said that messages of twenty words may
be sent ,from here to Paris, by arra»gment with
the Great Northern of France and other rail-
ways, for 15e., being about ss. more than is
now charged for a similar message between
London and Liverpool or London and Dever ; so that
probably, • although nothing is yet known as to the
tariff, the expense of an imponderable dispatch of this
kind between London and Paris will come to 203.
Should no arrangement be made with the South-
Eastern Railway, the promoters have power under
their charter to run wires between London:and Dover
along the high road. Considerable difficulty is of
necessity experienced in the adjustment of any tariff
in connexion with an enterprise so novel, nor is the
matter found to be susceptible of such careful esti-
mate, as in the carrying out and construction of a
railway. • For these reasons it has been found diffi-
cult to state with certainty the amount of revenue to
be derived fr.& the undertaking, to enable it to pay
as a commerard speculation. It has been calculated
that the auba 'lrina telegraph will be capable of print-
ing 100 me ges of fifteen words each in 100 copse- '
t
cutive roinu. s, and that if the whole of the commu-
nications between Europe, Great Britain, India, and
America, might be supposed to 'employ eight wires
twelve hours a day, it would give a return of 96,0001.
per annum, at a tariff of only one shilling per
message of fifteen words. It is calculated, however,
that when the four or more cables are completed and
in full operation the probable return will be 26,0001.
per annum, after allowing for working expenses
and maintenance of telegraph and works. The cost
of the present cable has amounted to about 16,0001.,
or with contingencies to about 20,0001. The proba-
bility is that the remaining cables intended to be laid
down will cost 20,000/. each, which will render a
costlier scale of tariff necessary. The sources of re-
venue calculated upon are the Government dispatches
of the different countries, the newspapers (English
and foreign), the public funds, the Paris Bourse and
London Stock Exchange, bankers, merchants, Lloyd's
correspondents, markets, India mails, and general
messages. _ _ _

The extension of the telegraphic wire to Marseilles
is now looked upon in France as an indispensable
adjunct to the completion of the submarine telegraph,
since the ramification of the wires between Paris and
that port would place the capitals of both countries
in instantaneous communication with the Mediterra-
nean. The cost of doing this, by completing the link
betv:een Chalons and Avignon, is estimated at under
3.0001. On the other hand, the telegraphic commu-
nication is now completed from Ostend to Trieste,
giving a through stretch of telegraphic communica-
tion little short of 2,000 miles. Telegraphic extension
is also progressing throughout the east of Europe.
Three great routes are now being laid down through
the interior of Hungary; and the Turkish Govern-
ment have come to the determination of laying down
the telegraph in Turkey, and it already reaches
Brussels, Cologne, Berlin, Vienna, and the Adriatic.
It is a somewhat curious coincidence that, although
the establishment of a submarine or continental tele-
graph originates with British enterprise, England
will be the last stage in the transmission, and the last
recipient of all its European intelligence, although,
from the instantaneousness of the method of commu-
nication, the intelligence, whatever the boundaries,
may be said to be übiquitous. It is not to be ex-
pected, however complete the international arrange-
ments for the purpose may be, that the fluid estafette
will find its way without a break from France, Bel-
gium, Prussia, Austria, or Russia, since unavoidably,
owing to the intervention of agency and language,
communications ultimately intended for this country
remainsrouo
gt
disadvantage will work for England.

pany, with a view to the promotion of

consented to carry a wire or wires from

graph to the observatory at Greenwich , so as to con-
nect it with the submarine

and simu

transit of a star over the meridian of London and
Paris can thus be notified in a minute, together with
the time of its transition. The longitude of both
places, and of different places on the Continent, can
also be easily obtained, and the most accurate records
of comparative astronomy be recorded and preserved.

ton, aged .53. This gallant officer, it will be re-
membered, was promoted for his excellent service in
the command of the Fair Rosamond, in the West
Indies, and has recently come home invalided from
the same station from the command of the Persian, 12.
Lieutenant John A. Sanford died at Haslar on
Wednesday last, at the early age of 26 years. He
was son of one of the Members for Somerset. He
was Second Lieutenant of the Dauntless screw-fri-
gate ; was one of the most promising young officers
in the service, and was beloved ; his decease will be
sincerely deplored by every one of his messmates and
acquaintances.

Paymaster Shugar (1795), died at Portsea last
week, aged 76.

Commander-in-Chief Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Sey-
mour, C. 8., G.C.H., was in bis flag-ship, the Cum-
berland, 70, at Halifax on the sth instant, and will
leave for the West Indies about the first week of the
next month.

The royal yacht tender, the Fairy, Master. Co-
mmander Welsh, arrived yesterday morning at Ports-
mouth, and went into harbour. The Victoria and Al-
bert royal yacht will now go up to her moorings, and
be laid up for the winter.
Frolic, 16, Commander Vansittart, hrls gone along-
side Portsmouth Dockyard, and will be paid off on
Thursday. She has been a most happy ship during
the whole term of her commission, and has come home
in excellent order.

Hecate, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, has
been ordered to be detached from Commodore Mar-
till's command at Lisbon, and to return at once to
Shithead.

Hercules, 74, store-ship, went out of Portsmouth
harbour and anchored at Spithead on Saturday
afternoon. She has on board a quantity of stores for
Malta. She is manned by the Bellerophon, but will
probably proceed to Malta before that ship.
Modesto, 14, Commander Lord W. Compton, left
Davenport for Leghorn on Friday.
WRECK OF A FRENCH CORVETTE.—lntelligence
has reached us, by the overland mail, of the wreck of
a fine frigate of war belonging to the French Republic,
called the Alcmene, mounting 36 guns, commanded
by M. Le Compte d'ilarceurt, on the west coast of
Sidney, New South \Vales. Towards the latter end
of June she proceeded on a voyage from Hobart
Town, and on the 3i of July, when between Kiapara
He ad and Hockianga Heads she was driven ashore on
a formidable ridge of sand. All exertions proved
fruitless in getting her off. Nearly the whole of the
crew succeeded i❑ reaching the coast, bat unappily
all were not preserved, between 12 and 15 poor fel-
lows having perished in trying to reach the beach.
Several of the officers and men, after obtaining aid,
pushed their way on to Auckland, and having in-
formed the governor of the lamentable event, his Ex-
cellency instantly adopted the most prompt measures
to afford them assistance. The lost of the frigate will
reach to upwards of 30,0001.

rOUTSMOUTII, SUNDAY.—The Rattler screw-sloop,
Commander MeHersh, received orders on Friday
night to proceed to sea yesterday, and Lord Frederick
Fitzclarence, the Lieutenant-Governor of this gar-
rison, Lady and Miss Fitzclarence, and suite, em-
barked this morning for passage to Madeira. The
Governor was most cordially greeted on his embarka-
tion at the Victoria-pier, whereon was congregated a
large assemblage of the military and the townspeople,
although the weather was very unfavourable for the
exhibition of any " demonstration." Prior to his
leaving, the town-council of this borough voted him
(Lord Fitzclarence) an address, expressive of their
gratitude for the many benefits he had endeavoured
to confer upon the town by improving the suburbs,
and regret at the cause of his premature remcval from
the military presidency of the district.
By letters from China, to hand yesterday, we are
informed of the holding, and of the result of, the Court
for the trial of Commander Peter Cracroft and the
officers and crew of her Majesty's screw-sloop Rey-
nerd, lost on the Batas Shoal, in the China Seas, on
the Slat of May last. The court-martial assembled
at Penang on the 3d ult., on board the Fox, 42,
Commodore Lambert, and consisted of the Commodore
as president, and Captains Austen, of the Hastings, and
Barker, of the Amazon; Commanders Shadwell, of the
Spbynx, and Tarleton, of the Fox. The Court having
heard all the evidence in support of the case, and what
the prisoners had to allege in their defence, found that
Commander Cracroft and Mr. M'Ausland, the master
of her Majesty's ship Reynard, had committed an
error in judgment in approaching the shoal at all on
the south side, and that the evidence showed that no
soundings had been tried for (it was also shown iu
evidence there were " no soundings" thereabout) nor
leads kept going; and that, nevertheless, the conduct
of Commander Cracroft and the officers had been
most exemplary and praiseworthy since the vessel was
lost, and that they had done all in their power to save
her, and had not abandoned her until all further at-
tempts were useless; therefore, in consideration
thereof, the Court only adjudged Commander Cra-
croft and Mr. M'Ausland to be admonished to be
more careful in future. The other officers and ship's
company were, of course, fully acquitted. Every
officer in the squadron, without exception, regrets
that Commander Cracroft was not " fully acquitted,"
for a more skilful navigator and better officer, not-
withstanding this unfortunate casualty, does not exist
in the service. In returning him his sword on the
rising of the Court the President delivered it with a
very handsome acknowledgment of Commander Cra-
croft'a high merit and professional character, which
Admiral Austen; the For
we sincerely trust will weigh favourably in the minds
the Amazon, 26, Captain
of the Lords of the Admiralty. Commander Cracroft
caught the mail just after the close of the Court, and
Shadwell, were ail at

Everything betokens in Paris a rapid and impor-
tant change in , the political situation. By the dis-
missal of his Ministry, the Prince Louis NaeoeEoN
has virtually proclaimed his adhesion to the cause
which is identical with that of the maintenance of
the democratic institutions. An occurrence of this
extraordinary character should not be regarded
lightly ; neither should it be imputed at once to the
paltry motives of administrative intrigue, or to a con-
temptible solicitude fur personal aggrandisement.
Hitherto the course pursued by the Chief 3.lagis-
trate of the Republic has been one singularly open
and above-board. From the December of 1348 to
tha October of 1851, he has manifested upon all avail-
able occasions his resolve to remain truthful in hie
allegiance to the interests of Republicanism. Aware
that to those interests he was originally indebted
for his supreme position at the bead of the French Go-
vernment, he has explicitly, and in one or two memor-
able instances spor taneously, declared his determination
to act in every way h accordance with the oaths
taken by him on his first election to the Presidency.
Those solemn engagements he has not yet foregone.
He has broken faith in no one particular with the six
millions of electors who invested him with the glory
of their suffrages. Imputations are, of course, thrown
out against him, to the effect that he still cherishes
n ambition to grasp the baubles of imperial autho-
rity. Bat those imputations hose are based upon no •
authentic proofs of such a hankering after the diadem i
and
the sceptre, saving
the testimonies afforded
long since at
fully of those ad Strasbourgtur and Boulogne—the
having already been
expiated by his six years,

in the dun-
geon of Ham, and by the of his subse-
quent banishment. Guilty as he was of that

then he has repeatedly evidenced his

of office to retire again into the privacy from which
he was summoned, by the almost unanimous
voice of the population. Such, at least,
he has pledged himself to do in language
admitting of no possible misapprehension.

men also who have an interest in promoting the pur-
poses of the rebels, and in fanning the flames of dis-
cord between the Hottentots composing the Cape
Corps and the white settlers. The colonists them-
selves do not hesitate to accuse certain parties of a
desire to destroy the white settlers, in order to
establish a sort of theocracy of which they
themselves shall be ministers. It surely can
be no difficult matter to discover from the
soldiers of the Cape Corps themselves who are the
traitors who spread these false reports, and when
discovered they should at once be brought before a
court-martial, and if found guilty, no matter what
may be their station, speedy execution should follow
the sentence, let the sentence be what it may. The
Boers, too, we are informed are not inclined to exert
themselves very effectively in support of the British
rule. At this we are not surprised. The Boers have
been shamefully ill-used by successive Colonial
Secretaries, from Lord GLENELG downwards, who have
managed to raise feelings of active hatred in the
minds of a race naturally the most phlegmatic and
most obedient in the world. The origin of all the
Kafir wars which have happened since Lord GLE-
NELQ held the seals of the Colonial-office may be
traced to the unfortunate refusal of that nobleman
to ratify the treaty entered into by Sir B. URBAN
with the Kafirs, which would have secured to us
a military frontier, and have rendered future Kafir
wars impossible. The Noble Lord, however, chose
rather to be guided by the mistaken views of certain
very well-meaning but weak-minded persons at home,
who could not have any practical knowledge of the
subject, than by the representation of the Governor
of the Cape Colony, and the lives of some of our
bravest troops, the loyalty of some of our most-
devoted subjects, the property of thousands of colo-
n colo-
nists, s:s, and upwards of five millions of British money

By the Levant mail we have received Constanti-
nople journals to the 4th, but their contents are
without political importance. A few claw before the
SULTAN had attended the launch of Ai frigate the
Niz unie, which had undergone a complete restora-
tion. The Sultana VALIDE, and the Princesses of the
Court, went by sea to the Admiralty, to witness the
ceremony. Two elegant tents were prepared for the
SULTAN, and several others for the Ministers and high
functionaries. The SULTAN was received, amidst the
firing of cannon, by the GRAND VI3IER and CAPITAN
PecliA, the troops presenting arms. After examining
the vessel, the SULTAN gave the signal for the launch,
and after a while the frigate glided into the water
amidst flourishes of trumpets. At this moment, by
the SULTAN'S order, an Ulema recited a prayer for
the protection of the vessel and the glory of the SUL-
TAN'S arms.
