The French Government have authorised the
French Atlantic Telegraph Company to lay a sub-
marine cable between Brest and England. It has
also authorised direct communication between Eng-
land and America by means of the French tele-
grao. Until the laying of the special cable be-
tween Brest and England the French company have
the use of an extensive wire to Brest, via Newhaven
and Dieppe.
The annual general meeting of the Eagle Insur-
ance Company was held on Friday last at the com-
pany's office in Pall Mall. The income of the year
tvas shown to be £540,499 18s., and the realised
assets upwards of £3,000,000. Mr. De La Rue,
the chairman, entered into a full explanation of the
State and progress of the company, and his observa-
tions appeared to give great satisfaction.
Great annoyance is expressed at the delay of the
directors of the Metropolitan Company in announc-
ing the dividend. The audit, although placed in
first-rate hands, may be long and protracted, but
every endeavour should be made to get out some
proximate estimate as soon as possible. A variety
of reports are circulated, which damage the value
of the property, and until an official intimation is
afforded these fluctuations in prices will continue
to take place.

A serious event in connection with life assurance
interests has occurred in the circumstance of an
application Laving been made to the Vacation
Judge in Chancery for the appointment of a prov. -
Bional liquidator of the Albert Life Office, whose
outstanding policies amount to between £3,000,000
and £4,000,000. It is understood that in order to
avoid the consequences that would inevitably result
from a sudden and unqualified liquidation, bad in
all cases, but absolutely ruinous in assurance mat-
ters, a scheme will be submitted to the policy
holders, through which, by their consmitiug to
sacrifice some moderate proportion of their poli-
cies,
be reconstructed on a basis
c.. the company m
that will leave no doauybt thenceforth of its stability.
Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Malins has ap-
Pointed Mr. Frederick Maynard liquidator of the
Valparaiso Waterworks Company, and also of the
karine Investment Company.
The directors of the London and North-Western

aaltihwe enaYhsuaivile_ issued their report for presentation
g meeting of shareholders. The ac-
eonnts for the past half-year show a disposable
balance of £1,058,714, which enables the board to
rfora dividend at the rate of 5i per cent.
rr annum. on the ordinary shares, and to carry
b'arward a balance of £30,662 to the credit of next
half-Year. The directors, considering that the
between

ladDundalk and Greenore, report that the
aad has been obtained and the contract for the
that
let on favourable terms. The directors state
Pat they have entered into an agreement with the
post-office authorities as to the telegraphs of the
y~°llll/anY) the substance of which is, that in lieu of
PaYMents heretofore made, the wires and posts
will be maintained by the company, for which they
receive a minimum rent, an annual sum for
talutelaauce, and have a complete system of tele-
arYll4 for railway purposes.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-71,is Day.

WES rmiNSTER.

THE TALLYMIN. —A female attended before Mr. Selfe,
and said—Please, your worship, what am Itodo ? My
husband threatened my life, and turned me and the chil-
dren out of doors last night.
Mr. Selfe—Why did he do that ?
Applicant—There's a gentleman comes to our house,
and the landlady opened the door and told him to walk up
stairs. My husband had had some things of him, and he
wanted a pair of boots. When my husband came home
he asked me if ho had been up stairs, and said he would
not havo any - tallymm there, and then he turned Mt)
out into the streets.

M. Selfe—What ! Had he got a little green iu his eye ?
You must have a summons.

A MODEL LODGING HOUSE.—E. Druller was charged
with being drunk and incapable, upon the testimony of
Police-constable 77 B.
Prisoner—Please, your worship, I went to Croydon, and
coming back I had two glasses of whisky and water, which
lam not accustomed to. I have been very much punished
by being locked up all night; I hope your worship will
not tine nio.
Mr. Selfe—Oh, you must pay for lodgings at this estab-
lishment. You axe lined ss.

THAMES.
ROBBERY AT A RAILWAY BTATION.—CAUTTON TO
TRADESMEN.—Georgo Bales, aged 47 years, and John
Lewis, 15, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with
stealing a truss and a half of straw, and two cheeses, the
property of the Great Eastern Railway Company. The
elder prisoner was a carman, in the service of
the railway company, and the younger prisoner
was his helper. In consequence of information that
the prisoners were iu the practice of rubbing the
company of goods entrusted to them to deliver to
tradesmen, Inspector Russell, of the railway police,
watched them on Friday evening and saw them drive a
van to the premises of a cow keeper, named Pettitt, in
Shoreditch, to whom they handed a truss and a half of
straw, which Pettitt put under his cows. Some money
passed from Pettitt to Bales, and the :prisoners were about
to leave when Russell, who was accompanied by a police
sergeant named Walter Fisher, rushed from his hiding
place
,and the prisoners 'were captured. Bales said he
had received the straw from the housekeeper at the Lon-
don Dock station, and what he had dono was a bad job,
and he must put up with it. He should not have sold the
straw to the cow-keeper if he had not been persuaded by
the bo3 to do so. On searching the van the officers found
two large cheeses covered with straw. They were part of
a load of upwards of 1,000 which the prisoners had to de-
liver to three tradesmen in the course of the day for the
railway company. On inquiry it turned out that there
was a deficiency of seven cheeses. Bales said he
made two over after the delivery of the right number,
which was not true. The boy said the carman told me to
do this; we only received 6s. for the straw, we asked Bs.
for it, but the cowkeeper would only give us 6s.
Mr. Paget said it appeared the company had been plun-
dered of their straw, and three tradesmen of their cheeses;
He remanded the prisoners for a week.

IN7'ERNATION AL BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY, This Day.

The Oxonians took a breathing this morning early
across the common. There was a good sprinkling of com-
pany here as early as 11 o'clock. At a little after that
hour the Harvard gentlemen went out for practice in pair-
oared gigs. They have hitherto been using oars by
Ralph, but a new set were being coached for this
morning from Ayling. At 12 o'clock Mr George Morrison
came down to the boat-house with the Oxford crow to go
for practice in tub pairs. The Harvard gentlemen are ex-
pected to row up up the entire course at four this after-
noon on the flood, the Oxford gentlemen to follow their
example at six this evening. There is a heavy scud blow-
ing hero from S.W., which will be very unfavourable for
tiials, and there is at present every appearance of a com-
ing storm. We hear Mr. Chitty was down hero this
morning, and visited the American gentlemen. The
American time for the whole course last night was 23 min.
—very fast.

Egham Races, 1870, will take place in the same week
as this year; and Windsor August will be held on the
Thursday and Friday following. The stewards elect for
Egham are—Admiral bous, Count Batthyany, G. Payne,
