I'ilE FJWLVCII ATLANTIC CABLE.

For the past four months the manufacture of this
line has been actively going on down at Greenwich.
The cable is nearly similar to those laid down in
1865 and 1866, with the exception of the "ore in
the present being larger, and weighing 100 lb. of
copper more per mile. The object of this en-
larged core is to attain a greater speed of
transmission, and although the electricians
of the company predict so low a rate as
twelve words per minute through the new cable,
we question whether this rate will not be greatly
exceeded, for the reason that the present Atlantic
cables are worked at the rate of fourteen words,
and in ordinary conversation so great a speed as
twenty-five words a minute have been read with-
out any difficulty. The cable may be said to be
a very strong one, its actual strain being 71
tons, while the strain required for the laying
need never exceed a ton, and to haul in
any laid portion the strain would not be
over a couple of tons at the most. The first
section, from Brest to St. Pierre, measures 2,325
miles, and the second section, from St. Pierre to the
Unitel States direct to New York or some point
between New York and Boston, is 750 miles long,
making a total in miles of cable, 3,075. Sir James
Anderson, who superintends the whole work on
the part of the company, has recorded his opi-
nion that by keeping upon the Milne Bank,
and around the southern edge of the Grand Bank,
there can be no possibility of injury to the
cable from icebergs. And it is a well-known
fact that the icebergs never " bottom" in over
90 fathoms of wather ; so, by acting upon Sir Jas.
Anderson's advice, the line would never be out of
500 fathoms of water. The Great Eastern, now
lying off Sheerness, by next March will once again
have resumed her telegraphic attire. In the place
of those costly and magnificent saloons with which
she was adorned nearly two years ago by the French
Company, huge dark and gloomy cable tanks will
stand ready to receive the several portions of the
cable as they arrive from Greenwich in hulks, and
by June, 1869, the big ship will be under weigh
with her precious cargo valued at nearly a million
of money.

CONSPIRACY AGAINST AN INSURANCE

COMPANY.

On Saturday, at the Manchester City Sessions, the trial
of Lockett and Kirk was resumed an d concluded. The case
occupied the court for nearly twelve hours. The accused
were charged with conspiring to defraud the Liverpool and
London and Globe Company. The insurance company
prosecuted them for claiming compensation for goods,
which they alleged bad been destroyed by fire, an assertion
which was disputed. A great deal of evidence was heard,
that of Stevenson, a fireman of the Manchester brigade,
being very important. He said that it would be absurd to
state that everything could be destroyed without leaving a
trace behind in a fire of that character. No evidence was
called to prove the existence of the goods which were said
to have been burned, and in the course of the inquiries
some facts came out not very creditable to the
prisoners. The Recorder having summed up the evidence,
the jury convicted both the prisoners, and the Recorder
pronounced sentence upon them. lie said that they had
been found guilty upon conclusive evidence, and it was
very fortunate for them that they had not been charged
with burning the premises. Lockett would he imprisoned
with hard labour for two years, and Kirk for eighteen
months.

THE CONFERENCE ON THE EASTERN

QUESTION.

_.-~

The arrangementsfor the Conference, which is to open this
week at Paris, are completed ; indeed, they are so complete
that it is difficult to see what the ambassadors are to do when
theymeet. All the States which were party to the Treaty of
Paris will be represented. Greece, not having signed the
treaty, will not be allowed to vote, but her representative
will take part in the deliberations. Turkey has
given her consent only on condition that the
five points of the ultimatum be discussed ; if any other
topics be introduced her ambassador will at once
withdraw. Russia attempted to get the privilege of
voting for Greece, but it seems that she has had to give
way to the Western Powers on this point. It was also
insisted that Turkey should withdraw from the ultimatum
anything of a tenour offensive to Greece. This endeavour
has succeeded no better than the other. Saturday is the
day on which the Conference is to begin.
