Offices, 9, Moorgate-street.
On the 28th of August last, an experimental line of wire, twenty-
five miles in length, measuring, with its covering of gutta percha,
only half an inch in diameter, was successfully submerged in the
Channel, between Dover and Cape, Gris-nez, and communications
from England to France were printed by the Telegraph, which are
now in the possession of the President of the French Republic.
The submertion of the wire and the actual printing of the mes-
sages having proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, the practica-
bility and certainty of the undertaking, it now only remains to lay
down a number of permanent wires in a protective covering of
adequate strength to ensure them against accident. The experi-
mental wire was not expected to bear a strain of more than from
100 to 200 lbs., whereas the combined strength of the lines about to
be laid down is calculated to be sufficient to resist the anchors of
large vessels.
These wires will each afford a distinct line of Telegraphic inter-
course, connecting Great Britain with France, Belgium, Prussia,
Austria, and other parts of the Continent, whereby ultimately an
universal and instantaneous communication throughout the whole
of Europe will be established.
One great featm-e in this undertaking Is the advantages it will
offer to India and America. By the agency of a single wire, the
news by the Indian Mail on its arrival at Trieste or Marseilles, may
be delivered, printed in Roman type, simultaneously at Paris and
London—and at Liverpool, in readiness for the departure of the
American Mail ; while the remaining lines of wires may at the same
instant be conveying intelligence between Great Britain, and the
other countries of Europe.
The several departments of the English Government, viz., the Ad-
miralty, the Treasavy, the Woods and Forests, the Board of Trade,
and the Foreign-office, have expressed their approbation of the un-
dertaking, and their readiness to afford every facility for carrying out
its object in the most efficient manner.
It is proposed to vest the concessions in a public Company, to be
named the " Sub-Marine Telegraph Company ;" for which a Royal
Charter has been obtained.
The capital to consist of 100,000 Shares of It. each ; one fourth of
such Shares to be appropriated as paid-up Shares to the Conces-
sionaires and Patentees, in consideration of the transfer and assign-
ment of the concessions and privileges granted by the French Go-
vernment, and for the necessary licence to use the patents.
It is intended to issue only 50,000 of the remaining Shares in the
first instance, the allottees of which will be required to
pay up the
full amount of such i
Shares on allotment ; an as the Company is

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSOIANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STROET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL C.,ENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for MR.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last

year.
The number of lives assured between the Jet of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1350, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made tbr 138 Policies, amounting to 52,91731.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 186 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 63.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent"of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. His. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
741/. Is. leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. As. I Id.
Since last meeting loans were applietl for to the extent of 17,7001.,
bat 1,183/. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

NOTICE OF REGULATION FOR.
WHITSUNTIDE.
As It is computed that nearly half a million of the Working
Classes will arrive in the Metropolis during the early portion of next
week, the greatest precautions have been taken to prevent inconve-
nience ; and it is presumed that the residents of the Metropolis, who
can do everything when they please, will take advantage of the
excursion trains and steamers, which are judiciously provided to ac-
commodate two hundred thousand a day. In London many of the
Exhibitions will be open ; the British Museum, the National Gallery,
and many other attractions will be free, and among the principal
sights of London to which the public are invited, the magni-
ficent marts of E. MOSES and SON, in the Minories and Aid-
gate, and New Oxford-street, will attract thousands. At
their establishment may be seen the most extensive col-
lection of fashionable costume ever got together, and
among them the superb embroidered dresses intended for the
Great Exhibition. These specimens are worth travelling a thousand
miles to inspect, for art and science can go no further in the pro-
duction of embroidery. It would, indeed, be a matter of regret
for a visitor to omit calling at the Monarch Mart, for it is im-
possible to form the least idea of its extent, or of the variety,
elegance, and taste displayed in the dresses, which, in number,
exceed all belief. It should be mentioned to 'visitors that they
are invited to inspect not to buy, although the purchase of the
next article of dress a visitor may require, follows some time or
other, as certain as day follows night, for the articles exhibited are
as good of the kind as man can produce, and the prices so mode-
rately low, that people must see to believe. E. MOSES and SON
have devoted a separate Show-room for the plirpose of exhibiting the
embroidered robes alluded to, and they again earnestly invite an
inspection.

THE GOLD-DUST ROBBERY.--WINCHESTER, JUNE
9.—At l o'clock precisely this day, Mr. Charles Seagrim
(the Mayor) and a number of the city magistrates met at
Winchester Gaol, to conclude the formal reading and the
completion of the evidence of several witnesses who were not
present last Friday at the Guildhall. The prisoner was
brought into the visiting magistrate's committee-room by.
Mr. Sheppard, the chief officer of the city. police; and Mr.
Bircham, of the firm of Bircham and Co., in consequence of
the absence of Mr. Crorebie from illness, at once proceeded
with the remaining evidence. Mr. Peter Lee attended for
the prisoner. Mr. Field, the inspector of the detective po-
lice, was first examined, and then Mr. Jennings, the checking
clerk in the Southampton Dock Company's employ, who did
not appear on Friday last, and sent no explanation of his
absence. To-day he stated that he had received no notice
to attend, he did not think that he was required. Mr.
Barber's evidence with respect to the piece of black cloth
found on the prisoner was read, and the evidence of two
warders who had disoovered it, and had not been previously
examined, was taken; after which the prisoner was finally,
committed. The witness Jennings proved the extraordi-
nary fact that the box found had never received the Custom=
house seal.

INDIA.

Marin, MAY 30.—This morning the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steam. ship Ganges, with
the Precursor's passengers from Calcutta, arrived.
She has made the quickest passage on record from
Alexandria, only 7.2 hours ! The Precursor hav-
ing anticipated a strong monsoon took the south
passage, fell short of coal, and was detained on her
passage longer than could reasonable have been ex-
pected.
The Ganges brings Calcutta papers, which are for-
warded by her, as she probably will reach England
before the next regular mail, which will leave this on
the evening of the 2d of June.
The Bombay express, with London dates to 7th
March, which arrived on the 12th instant, followed
the next day by the general mail, did not exer-
cise any influence upon the export market.
Business proceeded without alteration in values.
Indigo remained without transactions, any offers
ruling below the pretensions of sellers. For sugar
the demand continued active at well maintained
rates, till within the last few days, when the high
rates of freight led to 3 to 4 annas reduced offers,
which had been partially accepted for the lower sorts.
Saltpetre was in less general request, and a decline of
2 to 4 annas had affected the medium and lower qua-
lities. Rice in the table sort much neglected, but
prices are not further depressed. Raw silk continued
in demand for the good and superior qualities, and
previous prices were well supported.
In the import market business bad been flat, and
much interrupted by three successive native holydays
which occurred in the latter part of the week. Money
was somewhat easier in the Bazaar. The total loss of
the Ganges Company's inland steamer Patna, with a
cargo valued at about two lass of rupees, had created
a little alarm in the market.
Iron remained on fair demand ; 3,500 mds. of spel-
ter had sold at 6-4 per md. Lead chill.
In the money market there was no change to offer.
The closing of the Five per Cent. Loan led to exten-
sive speculative operations in Government securities,
which raised their value rapidly ; but latterly the
spirit has cooled down, and prices are in a declining
tendency. The profits of the Bank of Bengal for the
three months ending on the 31st of March are equal
to Co.'s rs. 13-17-li. per cent. on paid-up capital, and
shares are in demand at our raised quotations.
In exchange, negotiations ruled for six months'
sight credit bills at 2.0 to 2.0 i, document drafts
2-0-i to 2-oil.
Freights receded shortly after last mail 10.0 to
15.0, but have within the last few days again nearly
recovered the fall.

LOSS OF TIIE NEPTUNE STEAM-SHIP.
This first-class splendid steam-frigate, known as
the London and St. Petersburgh steam-ship Neptune,
has, we regret to say, been wrecked on, a formidable
reef of rocks in the Sound of Elsineur, while pur-
suing a voyage from the Thames to the northern
capital. It may be recollected she was specially se-
lected to convey the numerous packages of Russian
manufacture and produce for the Great Exhibition,
which are now in the course of arrangemeut in the
building, and having taken on board almost as valu-
able a cargo, was on her return voyage when the un-
fortunate accident befel her. It appears she left her
moorings off Irongate Steam Wharf, St. Katherine's,
on the morning of the 27th ult., having on board
about 40 passengers, a general cargo of merchandise,
and some four or five carriages which were placed on
deck. She made the Elsineur light about half-past
ten o'clock on Sunday night week, the wind blowing
rather fresh from the N.N.W., but beyond that there
was no unfavourable circumstance. Nothing oc-
curred to create the least alarm until she had steamed
some eight or nine miles further, when suddenly she
" bounced" into a dangerous reef of rocks off that
part of the coast, called Swine Bottoms, off Logamas,
and all was thrown into a state of consternation and
dismay. The engines were backed, and every stra-
tagem was resorted to to get her off, but without
avail, the wind and rough sea acting on the vessel so
as to drive her further into danger ; and in less than
half an hour the water had burst through her com-
partments (for she was an iron-built ship), and her
hold was full up to within a foot of her main deck.
Before this time attention was prudently directed to-
wards saving the lives of the passengers; and the
ship's signals being fortunately seen, several craft
came down alongside of the wreck. Some were
landed on the Jutland coast, and others on the oppo-
site shore, Sweden. Vigorous efforts were made to
save several bales of indigo, and other valuable por-
tions of her cargo. In this the crew were successful.
During the following day, owing to the heavy gale
of wind, the ship sustained serious damage ; so much
so as to leave but little hope of her . being got off.
Upon the intelligence of the wreck reaching Elsineur,
the agents of Lloyd's dispatched thelietha steamer
to the aid of the passengers, and having shifted a
quantity of cargo, more or less damaged, she pro-
ceeded to Copenhagen. Other vessels, with diving
apparatus, having gone to the wreck, attempts will be
made, when she is lightened of her cargo, to get her
once more afloat; but this is considered impracti-
cable, as portions of the rock on which the steamer
struck have perforated and remain in her bottom.
Her loss is much to be regretted. She was hand
somely fitted up, and was a very fast steamer, having
250-horse power engines. From all accounts there
appears to have been no doubt that the ship was out
of her course. Whether this arose through an error
in judgment of those on board, or from some defect
in her compass, which is probable, the vessel being
built of iron, we have received no precise intelligence.
She was built at Waterford, and was nearly 500 tons
burden. It is reported at Lloyd's that. he vessel and
cargo were insured in several marine insurance com-
panies in the City, to the extent of;, 0,0001. She
was due at St. Petersburgh on the; 4th. Another
steamer has been placed on the station:

SHOCKING SUICIDE AT BRIGHTON.
An inquest was held yesterday at the Crown Inn,
Brighton, on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Jeffrey
Hodges, a gentleman who had been for more than tee
years connected with a mercantile firm it( London. Mrs.
Sarah Hodges, a widow, and stepmother of the deceased.
whose residence is at 6, Grove-place, Stratford, Essex,
stated that she came to Brighton with /eceased and her
own daughter on Tuesday last, and put up at the White
Horse Hotel. On the next day they took lodgings on
the Marine-parade. The father of the deceased died
two years ago, and deceased had been 14 an extremely
nervous state, bet lately had been bettei— During the
night of Sunday he called her up, and said persons were
about to murder him. She bathed hie temples till about
two o'clock in the morning, and ho then expressed a
wish for some tea. The servant went into the kitchen to
make some toe, and as witness's child cried, and de-
ceased promised he would lie still ia bed whilst she went to
quiet the infant, she left him. On returning to the room she
heard deceased say, " I shall murder naz sister; I must
do so, that she may not have the suffering that I have
had—she is sure to go to heaven;" and added, " they
are coming up stairs to murder me, I'll jump out of the
window." Witness hastened into the room, when she
saw the window open, and deceased's shirt flying in the
air, as ho was descending from the window. She imme-
diately ran down stairs and found him lying on the gravel
path in front of the house. He was sensible; his right
arm was broker, and shattered in two places. She lifted
him up, and assisted him into the house. He said a
young lady to whom he had been engaged had been the
cause of it. He took hold of witness's hand, and said,
" Teach me to say my prayers. Witness knelt, and
held his hand, and ho repeated the Lord's prayer and
the blessing after her. The surgeon then came in. He
lingered till about ten o'clock on Saturday night, when
he died. He attempted his life a twelvemonth ago last
March at Hastings, by cutting his thrA4 After that
ho got better. Ho had a relapse, and theitbad a keeper
for a fortnight, but latterly, till last week, had become
more rational. The height of the wintlott was about 30
feet from the ground. The jury returned a verdict of
" Temporary insanity.
