He energetically and eloquently called on all to help,
especially urging mothers to remove from themselves
the stigma that they were only it to nurse slaves,
by showing that they could indeed rear men.
Mr. ABEL HEY WOOD, in propos.iug the following
resolution, took occasion to defend the Manchsster
merchants from a sweeping attack which Mr. Thomp-
son had made upon them :—" That the cordial union
and energetic action of all reformers is now impe-
ratively requisite. That the principles advocated by
the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform
Association merit the support of the great body of the
people of this kingdom ; and this meeting, consisting
of reformers of every shade, pledge themselves to sus-
tain the well•directed efforts of that association. That
the conveners of this meeting are hereby constituted a
committee (with power to add their numbers) for the
purpose of organising a branch of the National Par-
liamentary Reform Association, to co-operate with
the council in London; and that the committee be re-
quested to take immediate steps for that purpose."
Mr. ScuoLsFIELD seconded the resolution, which
was carried.

Mr. J. G. MANTLE, a Chartist, came forward, and
after expressing his approval of all that had been Paid,
and his agreeable surprise at finding that the heads of
the movement had so much good stuff in them, in-
quired why they had left out the payment of Members
from their creed?

Sir J suua WALMSLEY said he and his friends were
quite willing to have Members paid, and perhaps the
best answer he could give the question was, that they
were quite willing themselves to be paid, and they
hoped the people would, at their earliest convenience,
take into consideration how they should be paid.
A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman,
and the meeting separated.

SINKING OF THE GREAT CABLE TE.

LEGRAPH.

DOVER, THURSDAY AFTERNOWS..--At four o'clock

this morning the vessels having charge of the sub-
marine cable arrived in Dover harbour from London.
At five, after a breakfast at the Ship Hotel, the gen-
tlemen in charge of it, accompanied by M. Foy, Ad-
ministrateur en Chef des Telegraphes to the French
Government, and Professor Jacobi, of St. Petersburg,
who had arrived for the express purpose, left for the
South Foreland, the point chosen for the point de
depart of the submarine cable. The English Go-
vernment most generously aided the undertaking by
affording the valuable assistance of that experienced
officer, Captain Bullock, R.N., with the Fearless and
Blazer. These were accompanied by the Black Eagle
steam-tug and the Red Rover, a tug in waiting. On
board the Blazer, the hold of which had been gutted
to make room for this gigantic metallic and gutta
percha tube, were M. Foy, Professor Jacobi, Sir
James Carmichael, Bart., Mr. Jacob Brett, Messrs.
Barlow, Humphrey, Crampton, Wollaston, and other
scientific engineers, including Mr. Stateham, Mr.
Brunston, Mr. Hutcheson, and others, who had ably
assisted in carrying out the works.
The vessels arrived off the South Foreland at half-
past six. The sun rose brilliantly on the occasion,
and exactly at seven the cable was landed. Mr.
John W. Brett, Mr. Brunston, and other gentlemen,
accompanying it to watch progress and keep up a corn-
muication at regular intervals from the coast, through
the several wires of the cable as it progressed in its
onward course to France.

At nine o'clock, when about five miles from land, a
feu de joi, was fired from the extreme end of twenty-
five miles of wire to the land, being a sort of electri-
cal cannonade, which was kept up from time to time,
amid the viva: and huzzas of the several parties en-
gaged in this useful, and, as regards its future advan-
tages, important enterprise. Several telegraph in-
struments were also must liberally allowed to be at-
tached, in addition to those of Messrs. Brett, the ori-
ginal projectors of the submarine telegraph, and the
needle telegraphs of Messrs. Cook and Wheatstone,
under Mr. Reid, and of Messrs. Henley. All had
an opportunity of sending communications to and
from the two extreme points, during its progress
across the Channel, in addition to the printing tele-
graph of Messrs. Brett.
This was kept up until the vessel, at one o'clock,
was out of sight. Several gentlemen who witnessed
it from the English shore, crossed by the boat to
Calais, at half-past two P.M., to see the landing of the
cable at Sandgate, when, by its connexion with the
wires at Calais, communications are expected to be
forwarded direct to Paris.

A continuous correspondence is kept up by the
different telegraphs, and a cannonade (formed by fu-
sees in connexion with the wires) kept up at intervals,
the word "fire" being given from side to side by means
of the telegraph, when, ,by the points of the several
wires at the terminals being brought in contact, the
explosion instantly takes place.

STRAITS OF DOVER, LIURSDAY.—The actual sub-
mersion of the great cable telegraph, now attracting
so much international attention, and which arrived
here by her Majesty's ship Blazer, was commenced
this morning at six o'clock, at which hour Capt. Bul-
lock, R N., was ready, with the steam-ship Fearless
and a picked crew, to pilot the convoy across
the channel. The morning was calm and
sea-bright, and the crews of both vessels ap•
peered animated with that feeling of adven-
ture which is naturally enough evoked by an experi-
ment of such enterprise and novelty as that of
underlaying some 20 miles of deep sea with the elec-
tric link of intelligence between the European conti-
nent and the capital of the world. The first thing
done, there not being sufficient depth of water for
the Blazer to be brought near enough shore, was to
convey the extremity of the cable to the South Fore-
land coast, where it will be buried deep in the beach,
and carried up the cliff. Ile Fearless then steamed
ahead, having made fast her towing tackle to the hull
of the Blazer, at the rate of two miles an hour, out to
sea, the men on board the latter vessel paying out
continuously the cable over her stern, from whence,
by the action of its own weight, it sank into the sub-
marine sand and valley. The track between the
South Foreland and Sandgate, the corresponding
point on the French coast, and which has been se-
lected as presenting, from soundings and surveys, the
fewest obstacles and probable disturbances, was marked
out by pilot buoys, and is chosen as the best site
for the submerging of the wire that could be adopted
by those having the best knowledge of naval and ma-
rine dynamics. The depth of the sea line at starting
point is from 20 to 30 feet, and its maximum depth
180 feet, or 30 fathoms. There being a surplus of 4
miles of wire over the 21 required, the slackening pro-
cess was well sustained, and the experience gathered
from the experiment of last year rendered the opera •
tion the more facile. The route adopted differs ad-
vantageously from the ono laid down last year, which
was in the neighbourhood of shifting sands. Messrs.
Crampton and Wollaston, the engineers, were in
charge of the engineering arrangements, and some
30 men and the necessary batteries being on board,
complimentary messages and notifications of progress
were sent over the progressively paid out cable
through the waveless depths to Dover. Fusees were
also, at intervals of miles, fired through it on the
foreshore.

At half-past one the gratifying intelligence was
conveyed through the cable that it was then half-way
across the channel, 10 miles; but at this stage of the
voyage it began to blow fresh, and the ripple at the
bows of the vessel at starting now assumed more of
the rolling sea, which occasioned a pitching of the
vessel that, for perfect facility of operation, bad been
better dispensed with. At about half-past five o'clock
the time at which the last train left Dover for Lon-
don, about 16 miles of cable had been successfully
steamed off and submerged, and as, consequently,
nothing further in the shape of a written dispatch
could be conveyed to town, the only medium for com-
municating the subsequent progress of submersion
would be

(BY SUB-SEA AND LAND TELEGRAPH.]
" COAST OF FRANCE, TWILIGHT.
" The cable is securely anchored two-and-a-half
miles off the French coast."

It will thus be seen that the great cable, after an
arduous expedition, was all but successfully landed
on the French frontier, and this is to be completely
accomplished on the renewal of operations to-morrow
morning (Friday).—Chronicle.

THE BLACK WALL DOCKS AND THE EAST ANL WEST
INDIA DOCK RAILWAY.—Within the last few days the ex-
tensive dock formed by the East and West India Dock Junc-
tion Railway at Blackwell, contiguous to the eastern entrance
of the West India Docks, has been opened for the admission
of shipping. It covers a space of nearly seven acres, and
its depth of water amounts to upwards of twenty-four feet.
The eastern side of the dock is devoted to the coal traffic.
Tramways are laid along the whole length of the quay, and
by several powerful cranes or lilts the coal is very expe.
ditiously raised from the colliers and deposited in the trucks.
In addition to the dock, and the company's works in the
immediate neighbourhood, a double line of rails has been
formed along the entire frontage of the eastern warehouses
of the West India Export Dock, so that the different bales
and packages of East and West India and other produce
may be lowered from the loopholes of the warehouses into
the trains, and, if necessary, may be conveyed to Aberdeen
vir2 the London and North-Western Railway without break
of carriage.

"ALARMING SACRIFICE."—One of our tradesmen
last week issued a number of handbills, announcing that
bonnets were to be given away at his establishment to all
corners. The doors of the shop were soon besieged by a
motley crowd, some of whom carried off one, two, three, and
in some cases, five bonnets each, which they obtained at the
extremely low price of—nothing! This fun went on until
some of the neighbours, with more sense than himself, in-
duced him to give over the losing trade ; and then the mul-
titude, who did not at all relish this stoppage of the sup-
plies, displayed their gratitude in a strong inclination to
"smash the windows of the liberal bonnet-bailder.—Cheiten-
ham Examiner.

A coach has been running for some time between
Brighton and London, taking the Horsham, Dorking, and
Richmond road; and on Monday another four-horse coach,
taking the alternate days, was put on. It is called the
" Recherché," and appears to be well horsed. The starting
of another coach in these railroad times attracted no little
curiosity, on Tuesday, in Castle-square, from wheace the

RETROSPECTIVE GLANCES AT TEE BED
FORD AND MANCHESTER AUTUMN MEET.
INGS, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
San,—At both the Bedford and Manchester meetings
up to the present writing my prognostications have been
gifted with more than ordinary success; at the former,
as I remarked last week, the Bedfordshire Stakes were
a certainty for Retail, he having had the race in hand
from end to end, winning by a clever length from
Panope; Leap Year a good third, Tho Wren and Ched-
dington betten di. 1 gave it also as my opinion that
the Tvs;es Years Old Stakes were considered an equally
conclusive affair in favour of Grey Tommy, altogether
this time overlooking my fancy Peppermint, who beat
the Grey into fits; the Grey finishing a good fifth, 'lam-
bi, tonian second, Fidgetty Girl third, Ethel wolf
fourth, St. Andrew, the My Dear colt,
Dangerous, nod Gilbert Gurney colt, being
where an) body might naturally expect they
would be—nowhere! The other races at Bedford,
With the exception of the Scurry Handicap, are net
likely to affk ct any future event of consequence; and
this icing only half a mie, I cannot discover the reason
why, on the strength of Manifold's victory, he should be
backed for the Cambridgeshire, which was the latest move
up lest night,. The Manchester meeting, which, by the
bye, Pas the first some seven years ago I tried my pro-
phetic quill and brain on, and with singular success
too, naming the winner in every instance, is likely to be
equalled this time, and is so as far as the first day is
concerned. The Champagne Handicap for two years
old I considered would fall to the lot of the High
Sheriff; but as some doubts were expressed as to his
startimg, 1 tock the light weight Liberty to successfully
represent the Sheriff's parties' interests. It is some hut
superfluous to remark that Liberty won cleverly;
Richard Primer obtaining the second place, and Captain
Flash the third. The Autumn Welter Handicap was
decided in favour of Mr. Carew's Agis, who I predicted
would turn up the trump card. My remarks on the
Great Autumn Handicap were all but verified to the
letter; one of my selected two—Trickstress—winning
cleverly by a length, Woolwich second, about whose
chance I observed, that he was burthened with too
much weight; and so it turned out, for had he been re-
lieved of some eight or ten pounds he must have won,
being one of the gamest little horses in the kingdom.
With the exception of Lady Eden, who was the third,
the field was scattered here there, and everywhere.
To-day's racing of course I cannot touch upon at pre-
vent, so will proceed to give a few hints on the First
October (query) Meeting at head-quarters.
Imprimis, it should be borne in mind by the dab-
blers in the odds, that the Nancy entered for
the Third Triennial Produce Stakes is by
Launcelot, out of Camilla, and was the property
of Mr. Moore; but a vast number of the sporting public
have already taken a fancy to throw away their super-
fiaous cash on this mare, considering her to be the
Nancy of the Goodwood and Chester Cups instead of
the wretch it is, doing, I believe, common hack work at
the present time. Its the Second Triennial Produce
Stakes Russborough figures among the entries, and
might perchance tempt some to back him; for very
potent reasons, however, well known to his noble nomi-
nator, he cannot start. It is not my present intention to
enter into a full analysis of the animals' chances engaged
in the various stakes in this meeting, but shall merely
observe, before throwing down my pen, that Lord Exeter
and Mr. Gratsiche will take the principal and
second monies of the Grand Duke Michael
Stakes—that HERNANDEZ or the BAN will win the
Third Triennial—the NIGGER the Second Triennial
—MERRY PEAL or MIDAS the St. Leger Stakes—
and LAPIDIST, in the absence of Hobby oble, will se-
cure the Fourth Triennial. Greyleg, a chesnut colt by
Pantaloon, out of Black Bess, has been much talked
about for this last-named stake in the various sporting
circles of the City and West-end, and something superior
is expected of him. The betting last night and this
morning has evinced an amount of briskness quite un-
common of late; the following are the latest quotations:
—Chesterfield Handicap (Manchester)-5 to 2 agst Ri-
baldry, take 3 to 1, 7 to 2 agst Trickstress, 5 to 1
agst Worcester, 5 to 1 agst the Calculator, 8 to 1 agst
