cessant destruction. A special mechanism has been
invented to detect the injured places; but, scarcely
repaired, the indefatigable enemy has made a fresh
breach at another point, and proves himself more
troublesome and exasperating than the most crafty
demagogues under direct orders of the Central Revo-
lutionary Committee could be.
Instead of devising means for counteracting these
lamentable delays and constant interruptions, pains
appear to be taken to aggravate the evil and make it
permanent. Berlin is made the central depot of all
telegraphic communication from Posen, Bromberg,
and Stettin on the one hand ; from Werberg and
Breslau on the other hand ; from Hamburgh, as
well as from Frankfort and Leipsic ; and, lastly,
from Verviers and Aix-la. Chapelle. A dispatch from
Frankfort to Calais, instead of going the direct road,
has to travel a few hundred miles out of the
way, vise Berlin, where an immense file of retarded
messages is constantly accumulating. At the present
moment that most unfrequented portion of the line
between Berlin and Magdeburg is broken up, and, in
consequence, delay, irregularity, and uncertainty with
regard to all electric communication throughout
Germany has arisen. Another bad arrangement
is, that ‘‘ through dispatches" are stopped to give
way to intermediate messages, whilst the opposite
system has justly and successfully been adopted in
the management of the old diligence and the
modern railway. But through dispatches are gene.
rally sent from station to station, causing an im-
mense loss of time, there being twenty-six stations
between Berlin and Verviers alone; most of the
officers are unable correctly to work Mori's apparatus,
which is alone capable of transmitting messages from
one extreme to the other. The figures are not suffi-
ciently known by the clerks, who, consequently, are
always inquiring whether they have rightly under-
stood or not, heavy fines being inflicted for incorrect
intelligence, which are deducted from their scanty
salaries.

A private company would find it to be to their
own interest to satisfy the demand of the public ; but
M. Von der Heydt, the Minister of Commerce, and
Mr. Nottebohm, the chief director, are perfectly in-
different about the accommodation they afford. No
wonder, then, that the public make as little use of
the telegraph as possible, and that the receipts of
last year should not have covered the expenses. The
complaints, however, becoming extremely numerous
and frequent, the authorities have at last decided on
laying down a second wire above ground, a consider-
able portion of which, especially the part between
Berlin and Magdeburg, is expected to be completed at
the end of next month. The amount required for its
construction will be advanced by Government, since
the sum granted by the Legislature has long since
been expended.

The Times and Daily News, anxious to procure
the quickest possible intelligence for the mercantile
community, have undertaken, at considerable expense,
to furnish in their daily publications the exchanges
of Vienna, Berlin, Hamburgh, and Frankfort of the
preceding day ; but this most desirable object it has
hitherto been impossible to accomplish from the
irregularity and delay on the Prussian line. Dis-
patches sent off from those different places, between
two and three o'clock, P.M , arrive at Verviers inva-
riably in the course of the next day, a speed with
which the railway might successfully compete.
Surely the English journals ought to be assisted by
the German Governments in their expensive endea-
vour to publish the continental exchanges and prices
of funds at the earliest possible period, since the
German houses established in England, and the mer-
chants in Germany trading with this country, derive
the greatest benefit from it, and since it tends to
give a more solid basis to the transactions in the
money market, and to deprive it of that gambling
character, of which the continental Governments
justly complain. A step in this direction would save
the Austrian Government the trouble of sending
police agents on 'Change, and the unpleasant experi
ment of occasionally imprisoning the leading " Bears."
They should learn a lesson of well-bestowed genero-
sity from the British Ministry, who grant to a private
company an Admiralty steamer to assist in laying
dow❑ the line of the electric telegraph across the
Straits of Dover; they should learn business habits
and quickness from the Americans, who have in a few
weeks nearly completed the wire between Quebec and
Halifax, including its submersion in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence.

A telegraphic congress is to be held at Vienna on
the Ist of October. Lord Palmerston ought to
exert his influence on that occasion to promote the
British interest. The English press ought to be re-
presented in that most important council, and we
should then entertain the pleasing hope that the
present congress at Vienna, unlike its famous prede-
cessor, would tend to free the nations of Europe from
the bondage of ignorance, and contribute with the
quickness of lightning to spread truth and knowledge
over the whole surface of the globe.
I hare the honour to remain, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
J. GERSTENBERG.

DIABOLICAL ASSASSINATION at LYONS.

A most extraordinary crime was committed in the
Thiliatre des CAlestins, at Lyons, on Monday evening,
during the performance. Just after the curtain rose for
the second act of Adrienne Lecouvreur, a slight cry was
heard in the principal gallery, and it was followed by
extraordinary agitation. The cry was uttered by a young
woman, who had been stabbed in the breast with a
large poniard-knife by a man seated behind her. Her
blood spurted on the persons nearest her, and she was
immediately conveyed to a saloon, where a medical man
paid her every attention. But all his efforts were
unavailing, and in a few minutes she expired. The
assassin, who made no attempt to escape, was
secured. The performance, after being suspended
for three-quarters of an hour, was resumed, and the
spectators, notwithstanding the fearful drama which
had passed before their eyes, paid great attention to
it. The murderer it was subsequently ascertained,
is a young man named Jobard, aged twenty, clerk
to M. Thiebaud, a tradesman of Dijon. Having
embezzled some money belonging to his master,
he feared detection, and resolved to get rid of life.
But having received a very religious education, he
could not reconcile himself to the idea of suicide,
because, as he says, he would have had no time, after
striking the fatal blow, to demand pardon of God.
Accordingly, he determined to commit a crime
which should cause him ,to be sent to the scaf-
fold ; the period which would elapse between
the perpetration of it and his execution being
sufficient, he said, to enable him to make his
peace with the Almighty. He hesitated some
time as to who should be his victim. First, he says, be
thought of killing the President of the Republic on
his visit to Dijon ; but the reflection that he :would
bring disgrace on his mother, who lived in the town,
prevented him. Then he entertained the idea of mur-
dering a priest as he was returning from celebrating
mass, and bad said to himself that such a crime would
not compromise the victim's salvation, as he would
probably then be in a state of grace ; but this idea
he also abandoned. At last he resolved to
kill a woman, but without fixing on any one in
particular. He thereupon determined to go to Paris,
but instead of taking the railway train for that city,
he took the steamer to Lyons. Immediately after
his arrival he bought a large poniard-knife, and then
proceeded to a house of ill-fame, with the intention
of killing some girl, but his courage failed him.
He then proceeded to the theatre. He quietly
witnessed the first act of the piece; and, on the
commencement of the second, drew forth his
knife. He carelessly picked his nails with it for
a moment or two, and then suddenly plunged it
with all his force into the left part of the breast of
the victim. Her husband, who was seated by her
side, not seeing the blood, cried, " What have I done
that you strike my wife ?" " Nothing," said the
murderer, with great sang froid, "Nothing. I
don't even know you." The unfortunate woman had
strength to pluck the knife from the wound, and she
was then removed. She was the wife of M. Ricard, pro-
fessor of mathematics in the Lycee of Limoges, and
daughter of the proviseur of the same college. She had
only been married six months, and was enceinte.
She and her husband had only arrived the previous
evening at Lyons from Limoges, on their way to
visit some relatives at Avignon. One of the Lyons
papers states that the morning after the crime the
husband disappeared, and it could not be ascertained
what had become of him. The murderer expresses
not the slightest regret for his horrible crime.—

ADULT DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION.—Last
evening a special general meeting of the governors and sub-
scribers to this charity was held in the board-room, Red
Lion-square. From the report it appeared that during the
ten years the institution has loan established it has afforded
assistance to many hundreds of the adult deaf and dumb, and
an effort has been made to give those who come within the
sphere of its operations religious instruction. The report
concluded by stating that the present premises occupied for
the purposes of the institution not affording the requisite
facilities for the full development of the projected improve-
ments of the charity, a special building fund tee been
opened, to purchase, or build, in or near London, an Asylum
for the Employment and Religious Instruction of the Adult
Deaf and Dumb, to be as far as possible a self-aiding institu-
tion by the labours of its inmates and dependents. From
the statement of accounts appended to the report, it appeared
