moderate alleviation. The matter does really, we do
believe, demand a close, searching, and immediate
investigation.

The complete and triumphant success of the
Transatlantic Telegraph naturally leads to the con-
sideration of the extraordinary changes that must
inevitably follow the almost miraculous event. It is
certain that the advantages afforded by instantaneous
communication will be gradually extended, until
every important colony and dependency can commu-
municate with Downing-street, and receive au
answer within a few hours—that time being required,
not for the transmission, but for the framing and
reading of the messages. The time required for a
special messenger to deliver the missive at so short a
distance from the head-office that it would
not be worth while taking a cab, would be a
hundred, aye, a thousand-fold that consumed
in the passage from Newfoundland to Valen-
tia—nay, more, or passing round the world,
whenever the magnetic wires are carried to
the extent at which we have no doubt they will
eventually arrive. " Puck's" boast that he would
place " a belt round the globe in forty minutes," is
left immeasurably behind. It will not take even
forty seconds, or the hundredth part of forty seconds,
to pass over the entire circumference.

This will easily be understood by the following
simple facts :—Light is calculated to travel at the
rate of (in round terms) 200,000 miles per second.
The electric spark is supposed, and with much ap-
pearance of truth, to be transmitted at the same rate.
The circumference of the earth is 25,000 miles, ergo,
the earth may be traversed in the one-eighth part of
a second ; so that the difference of time between
London and Greenwich, and London and Hong Kong,
will not be an appreciable quantity.
We may easily imagine the extraordinary effect of
being enabled to understand the progress of events
in China at the very time of their occurrence; to receive
despatches from our Plenipotentiary, and answer
them within the time fairly allowable for considera-
tion ; to know how Lord CLYDE, of Clydesdale, is
disposing of the Hindu rebels, and what may be the
extent of the reinforcement absolutely required, so
that there might neither be an excess nor a deficiency,
but that the happy medium might be selected.
The political importance of such speedy cemmu -
nications is sufficiently obvious. It would be well
worth while is incur an outlay of many millions to
effect so great an object ; but for the preseat
let us rather regard it in its social aspect. It
will strike at the very root of the higher class of
crime. No absconding bankrupt can hope to arrive
at a city of refuge or haven of safety. He must take
weeks or days to arrive at his destination, when the
account of his crime, and the description of his per-
son, will have reached it long before, and a police
officer will be the first to welcome his coming, and
(in consideration of the reward) look brighter when
he comes. It is difficult to say what may be the full
effect on commercial morality ; but whenever the
telegraph is established it will tend to the diminution
of crime by multiplying the chances of detection.

It will also arrest the progress of gambling specu-
lations, in which so many innocent persons are vic-
timised. Men will not be inclined to enter into
dealings with parties who possessed information of
which they knew nothing--who were virtually play-
ing with marked cards or loaded dice. The cry of a
shoot crop will no longer be possible. The "ursine "
fraternity will be deprived of their most formidable
weapons, and the feverish fluctuations in prices,
which have occasioned so much mischief to all classes,
but more especially to the consumers, will be effec-
tually prevented, when the state of the
rent markets of the world can be ascertained at
,a brief notice, and a synoptical chart of prices
presented to every person interested, at
a moderate price. Trade will then once more become
what it was in the olden time—the noblest pursuit
that could be followed. The merchant princes will
be more flourishing than ever ; and commerce will
prosper, and the welfare and happiness of the people
of every nation in the world, be greatly promoted.
We have just seen the inauguration of a mighty
system, of which no man can predict the results. It
certain that it will greatly increase human power.
Let us fervently hope that it may multiply the hap-
piness of mankind in a similar ratio.

THE CONFERENCE OF PARIS.

PARIS, AUG. 11.
To-morrow there will again be a sitting of the
Conference. It is thought that another will take
place on Saturday, and that the signatures will be
finally affixed to the proceedings on Monday.

DEPARTURE OF THE EMPEROR
AND EMPRESS FOR BREST.

ON BOARD THE ARCOLE,

MONDAY MORNING.

Yesterday, at 5 o'clock, the Bretagne, bearing at
her masthead the broad pennant of his Majesty,
sailed majestically out of Cherbourg harbour.
The cannon of the different forts saluting the squa-
dron, and the cheers of the many personi assembled
on the yachts and small steamers in the harbour to
see the squadron leave, might still be heard when
they were almost out of sight. The weather was
splendid, and the vessels, taking up the following
order of march, steamed onward for Brest:—ln ad-
vance the Bretagne; on the right of her, and some
distance in the rear, the Eylau and the Arcole ;
on the left, the Don avrert and the Napoleon.
The small steamers were allowed to proceed
as they could, and finding that they could not
keep in the line, they took a short way through
some passes near the shore, and now, as I write,
they are coming up to join the line. We are
near our destination, Brest, and I shall con-
tinue the description of the trip as soon as we have
been landed. The ceremony will no doubt be a
magnificent one. I find that we have just been
joined by the two steamers Austerlitz and Isly, which
will give our procession a formidable appearance.
Nothing could exceed the brilliancy of the spectacle
offered by the fleet last night; the vessels we:e bril-
liantly illuminated, and owing to the fine weather
were enabled to keep together. Music was heard
on several of the vessels, and the sailors
seemed determined to let it be known that
their Emperor was beloved by them ! their re-
iterated cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" " Vive
l'lmperatrice" testified to this beyond a doubt. The
officers were obliged to keep ordering silence. One
thing I noticed especially—the Emperor, accompa-
panied by the Empress, had visited this ship (the
Arcole) the day before leaving port, and the crew
had been inspected by their Majesties. The Empress
had addressed a few kind words to some of

he old sailors, and to one of the young
officers who had lost an arm in the Crimea ;
her sweet manner had won the hearts of these people,
and the most frantic shouts of " Vive l'lmperatrice !"
were uttered by the crew at each moment. Hearing
this shout just as I write the above, I went on deck
to ascertain the cause, and found there that this
signal was given to the fleet :—" The Empress de-
sires that all sentences and punishment be remitted in
the fleet." And, in consequence, the loudest shouts
for her longevity continue. Another signal has gone
up to the masthead of the Bretagne. It is to an-
nounce the increase of pay of the seamen—those hay..
ing served a certain length of time. We are now
drawing near to Brest, and I shall discontinue, as
the cannonading is almost deafening.
The sight presented on entering the harbour was
a glorious one; all the shipping-was decked with in-
numerable flags, and the white smoke of the cannon
filled the air, while the loud reverberations shook
the town to its centre. The appearance of Brest is
quite picturesque, and, seen at this moment, beautiful.
As the Emperor embarked on board of the splendid
gondola that was to take him on shore, the Imperial
flag was doffed, and each ship of the escort thundered
a return to the salutations of the surrounding forts.
An immense crowd was collected to see the Impe-
rial party land, and as the Emperor stepped on shore
the wildest cries greeted him. " Vive l'Empereur,"
" Vive l'lmperatrice," was yelled in every tone of
voice; young and old joined in the cry ; and his
Majesty has just cause to be proud of the reception
given him by the inhabitants of Brest. To-morrow
the Emperor is to visit the town, and the most stu-
pendous preparations are being made to receive him.
At the moment I write the bishops and clergy are at
the Prefecture, having an audience. The people of
Brittany are evidently determined to prove their re-
spect for their Sovereign ; and the warmth of the
present reception, compared with his former one,
marks the great inerease of the popularity of Louis
Napoleon. To add to the attractions of the great
file, the weather is beautiful ; in fact, ever since the
departure from Paris, the Imperial party has had
the same fine weather, the same clear sky, and the
same enthusiasm has met it on all sides. The streets
leading to the Prefecture are jammed with the popu-
lace, and the most prejudiced person cannot but see
that the feeling evinced is genuine. The old town o
Brest affords much to gratify the sight-seer, and to.

morrow I shall try to procure some informatilii b a ou
it that may be of interest to your readers. To-mor•
. .

row night a grand ball is to be given, and their
Majesties will be present. No doubt the ceremonies
of to-morrow will be highly interesting.

INDIA AND CHINA.

The following items of news were supplied by
Government :
"Service Message received from G. F. Edmendstone, Esq.,

be at Mahara on the lltb. several of the rebels are said to
have fled from Gwalior in the direction of the Kotah
boundary."
"Service Message from O. Plowden, Esq., dated Nagpore,

"Scindiah yesterday entered the city and occupied the
Palace, his reception by the people was very gratifying;
the fort is occupied by British troops all is quite right.
The Bazee Baie and ladies of his family joined the Maharajah

" Service Message from G. F. Edmonsistone, Esq., dated
Allahabad, 24th June, Thursday, 11 p.m.
dated 22d June :
"The following has been received from Sir Hugh Rose,
" 'On the Gwalior,lay of the general action with the Gwalior
rebels on the 19W inst , the force under my command took,
exclusivc of the guns in the fort, 10 guns iu the field from
the enemy, one of them a brass 24-pounder, a brass 18-
pounder, a brass 8-inch mortar, several English 9-pounders
and guns of other calibre, great quantities of arninuniti..n,
waggons, and warlike stores of every description, and 70
elephants. When the troops went to occupy the Fort of
Gwalior, after the capture of the city by storm, Scindiah's
authorities having reported to me that it was vacated, they
found the gate shut, and a detachment of fanatics opened
fire on them. Sun having- set, I caused the fort to be
surrounded, and the next morning a detachment of
the gallant 23th Bombay Infantry stormed and
took it. Their brave leader, Lieutenant Rose, was
killed. I sent a column of Horse Artillery and cavalry,
tinder Brigadier-General Napier, C. 8., in pursuit of the
rebels,
who fled in great disorder after the defeat of the 19th
inst. I also directed another column from Dholepore to

"Service Message from G. F. Edmondstone, Esq., dated
Allahabad, 26th June, 6.30 p.m.
" We have the following information from Agra, dated
26th June. The party of fugitive rebels from Gwalior, who
crossed the Chumbul, have been largely joined by the other
fugitives at Sreemuttia, 30 miles west of Dholepore, and,
from an information just received, had moved to Maklee-
pore. It is supposed they are making for Jeypore, but their
movements on the next stage will indicate whether they are
bouad for Bhurtpore or Jeypore. They have no guns, but
have 17 elephants, and are about 7,000 horse and foot.
Captain Orr moved on the 25th towards Goonah. Order

" Service message from G. F. Edmendstone, Esq., dated
Allahabad, 27th June, 10.15 p.m.
" The following telegram of to-day's date has just been
received from Agra :
" ' The whole of the rebels from Gwalior reached Hin-
down during the 24th inst., and by morning of the 26th,
their number, with camp followers. was estimated at 15,000.
It appears that they have a few zumboorues on elephants.
They appear to be divided in opinion as to going to Bhurt-
pore or Jeypore. Captain Eden writes that the first
intelligence of the movements of the rebels caused great
alarm, but this had since subsided. Captain Nixon keeps
a stout heart at Bhurtpore. Brigadier Showers marched
for Futtehpore Sickree last night with a small force, which
will be increased as detachments sent to Dholepore, now
returning to Agra, can come to Futtebpore Sickree.' "

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
CALCUTTA, Saturday, 3d July.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Nubia,
with the London mail of the 25th May, arrived here on the
24th ultimo. The electric telegraph, on the 28th ultimo,
reported arrival of the English mail in Bombay on the 23d.
On the 29th and 30th we received the telegraph bulletins,
giving us the heads of political accounts, as also quotations
of East India produce in London. The commercial accounts
by both the above opportunities have not been such as to
lead to any activity in our export market here.

the entrance of the Grand Canal. The walls are neither
• very high nor strong, and the suburbs form a very large
part of the city. The Grand Canal here has little appear-
ance of an artificial channel, and tides rise and fall as they
do in the river. Owing to the diversion of a great part of
its supply of water, by the reason of the falling of the Yellow
River, few boats now come to Tientsin, and this famous
work seems to be of little utility to the capital. Perhaps the
difficulties of its water level could be removed by modern
engineering skill properly applied, but the immediate effect
may be to incline the Chinese Government to admit foreign-
ers to the port, and allow them to bring the supplies of grain
to the capital. The river allows vessels of 10 feet draught
to come up almost at any tide, after they have crossed the
bar.

" Few shops have yet resumed their business, which was
suspended on the arrival of the steamers ten days ago ; and
the people have begun to remove into the country with
their families to a great extent, taking with them their
valuables and treasure. The authorities have been para-
lysed since the forts were taken, and took no means of de-
fending the city, if indeed they were not utterly helpless;
most of their quota of troops were at Taku, where others
were collecting before the forts were taken.

" Tan, the
.governor-general of the province of Chileli,
has been nominally degraded, but retained in power ; he is
superseded in his post as commissioner to negotiate with the
foreign Ministers by Kwei-liang and Hwa-sha-na, two
men of high position. The former is younger brother of
Iliang, just retired from the arduous post of governor-
general at Suchau, and is the third member of the Cabi-
net at Pekin, besides bolding other posts. He filled the
station of provincial Treasurer at Canton about 1836, and
has long been conversant with the policy of his country.
His coadjutor is a Mongolian, and now President of the
Board of Civil Office, and has been known more at the
capital than in the provinces. Both these Commissioners
are over 70 years of age, and announce that they have been
invested with full powers to treat; consequently the English
and French plenipotentiaries will now have a valid reason
for meeting them.
" The people of Tientsin are likely to suffer much from
the presence of the foreign Ministers, and the force they
have brought to the city, and still more from the ex-
actions of their own officers and their suites. Supplies
are furnished by the municipal authorities, and it
is to be feared that the real owners are not paid fair
prices, and feel themselves helpless in obtaining them.
Petty acts of rudeness committed on the people by
the foreigners are also exaggerated, and these things have
already had their usual effect in arousing a sullen resent-
ment, which may ere long find means to make itself felt.
The feeling of terror and amazement now existing can
easily be turned into one of hatred by a series of petty out-
rages, and the Chinese officials know well how to stimulate
it if they can make good use of it.
"Good beef and mutton, pears, apples, apricots, radishes,
grapes, yams, and plenty of ice, have been furnished. No
good fish are seen in the markets, which are probably at
this moment less amply furnished than usual. Wheat and
barley are the chief crops, and these are sowed in drills, not
broadcast. The population is dense, but the beggary and
squalor are more than proportionate. The people are not
so large-limbed or vivacious as the Cantonese, nor so well-
dressed or housed, and in winter must suffer greatly.
"A few days will decide, probably, whether the demands
made upon this Government are likely to be complied with,
or whether a protracted war on a quiet helpless people like
those around this city is to be dragged on. A meeting is
appointed to take place ou Monday, the 7th, with the two
new Commissioners,"

HAMBURG, AUG . 9.
The expectations which had been formed as to the
good effects which the recent attack of gout might
produce on the general health of the King of Prussia
are not likely to be realised. On the occasion of
a recent visit of the chief Court physician, Dr.
Schonlein, it was found that no amelioration had
taken place in the nature of the disease, and that
there was such a complete failure of memory that
there appeared to be no prospect of his Majesty
ever being in a condition to reassume the exercise
of the royal authority. The settlement of the Re-
gency question will therefore become more neces-
sary than ever; and if the rumours which have
been circulated of the intention which Queen Vic-
toria had to interfere in that matter have had any
foundation, her Majesty will find that any difficul-
ties that may have been anticipated have been
greatly diminished by the progress which the ail-
ments of the King continue to exhibit. On a mat-
ter of such moment, however, the physicians who
have already been consulted have thought it well
to have their own opinions either confirmed or con-
troverted, and for this purpose they have called in
to advise with them eminent men of the medical
faculty from Dusseldorf and other cities, who have
all taken the same view of the complaints of the
royal patient, so that all idea of anything like a
permanent recovery may now be considered as utterly
hopeless. Under these circumstances it is fortunate
that the desire of the King to leave Tegernsee and
take up his residence at Potsdam, while the Queen
was in the neighbourhood at Babelsberg, has not
been gratified ; for the presence of so great an invalid
at such a time would have cast a shade over the
anticipated enjoyments at the remeeting of mother
and daughter, for which nothing in the demonstra-
tion of respect, which was the purpose of his Ma-
jesty, could in any degree have compensated. All
accounts from Babelsberg concur in representing the
great happiness which the Princess Frederick Wil-
liam looks forward to in the visit of the Queen.
It appears to occupy all her thoughts, and as the
great object of her royal highness is to make both
the Queen and the Prince Consort feel themselves
at home, all is arranged and rearranged, within and
without the palace, in such a manner as to induce
both to imagine that they are in some well-known
and much cherished spot in England. It is truly
gratifying and pleasant to see nature thus main-
taining its sway in high places, where it might have
been supposed so many distractions might have
occurred to counteract its influence ; and, great as
must have been the Queen's pride in receiving at
Cherbourg the homage due to her as the Sovereign
of a mighty empire, there cannot be a doubt that
her Majesty will, as a mother, derive a more heart-
felt joy in the affectionate though silent embrace of
her much-laved daughter than all the pageantry of
Imperial France, with the thunder of her artillery,
could ever have bestowed.
It is possible that before this letter reaches there
will have already appeared in the Morning Post a
programme of the royal voyage and journey, so that
anything that could be said from hence on that sub-
ject might only be a less authoritative repetition of
what has already been better told. It is therefore
only necessary to say a few words as to the arrange-
ments at this end of the route. At Hanover it is no

longer intended that the royal travellers should
remain during the night, and their stay there, there-
fore, will not extend beyond a few hours, during
which the King and Queen of Hanover, who return
from Norderney to-morrow for the purpose, will
entertain them at a dijelincr dinataire, or luncheon ;
and, as soon as their royal guests have taken their
departure, the King and Queen will at once return
to Norderney, where the sea breezes are said to have
proved very beneficial to his Majesty, whose blind-
ness is a great affliction. It is not to be expected
that Queen Victoria will at the short interview at
Hanover enter at all upon the procedure of that State
in the matter of the Duchies ; but Lord Malmesbury
may find a good opportunity of speaking the senti-
ments of the British Government to the Hanoverian
Ministers; for it is well known that all the difficul-
ties in the way of a pacific settlement of that question
may be attributed to the line of conduct which
Hanover so obstinately pursues in that affair. In
former letters some reasons have been assigned for
the policy thus pursued by Hanover, in addition to
which there are many who allege that the present
King and his advisers, having deprived the Hano-
verian people of almost all the constitutional privi-
leges which had previously been conferred on them,
now seek by an excessive zeal for the political rights
of ethers elsewhere, to divert attention from their own
doings at home ; and though this may momentarily
serve such a deceptive purpose, it will not the less
surely eventually bring with it its own righteous
retribution at a time when it may be neither ex
petted nor convenient.

The conference held here on the subject of mari-
time law has now been adjourned until the 4th of
October. Their labours are reported to have been

so severe as to have injured the health of two ol

heir most active and intelligent members, and though

no great result appears yet to have been attained;

there is reason to believe that a system of proceed
ing has now been arranged, which, if followed otr

udiciously, may be most useful in the further pro
. _ _ _

secution of the important work which has been con

fided to them.

EXPECTED RESIGNATION OF BISHOP TROWEE.-
Bishop Trower, of Glasgow, seeing no prospect of his being
able within any definite period to resume his residence in
the diocese, has deemed it his duty to seek the advice of his
episcopal rethren with reference to its future superintend-
ence and administration. He states that there are three
courses open to him :-1. His entire resignation of the see.
:2. His resignation of the diocese of Glasgow only, retaining
that of Galloway, as a separate see. 3. The appointment of
a coadjutor-bishop. The Bishop considers that there are
many important reasons against the first course at the present
time; but will not object to it, if total resignation should
seem best to the Episcopal College. With regard to the
second, he has reason to doubt whether such a proposal
would commend itself to the judgment of his brethren.
His Lordship has therefore applied for the appointment of
a coadjutor-bishop.— Union.

THE LATE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY.—The late
lamented marquis, says the Glasgow Herald, was a keen
sportsman,
and kept a pack of hounds, with which he hunted
the county. In his capacity of master of the hounds he was
courteous and obliging to all, and not many mouths since the
popular feeling embodied itself in a splendid banquet which
was given to his lordship in the county town of Dumfries,
and which was attended by lovers of the noble sport from all
parts of the country. His lordship also took much interest
in the turf, and at times betted largely, much to the regret
of his friends, although it is believed that fortune generally
favoured him. His last adventure in this way was an un-
successful one, however, for it is stated in an official sport-
ing journal that he took what is termed a "fancy bet" o
£B,OOO to £3OO against Mr. Merry's Saunterer, for the
Goodwood Cup, which, of course, he lost. The winner is
understood to be a West Highland distiller, well-known in
Glasgow sporting circles.
LORD BROUGHAM.—The Carlisle Journal thus
describes the workmanlike style in which Lord Brougham
went through his duties in cutting the first sod of the Eden
Valley Railway a few days ago :—" Lord Brougham re-
ceived from the brawny navvy who stood beside him a neat
spade, with which be cut the first sod, and threw it into a
handsome mahogany barrow which 11941 been pr,videtl fur
the eccaiun. His lordshlp then, with a vigour as remark-
able as it was characteristic, wheeled the barrow along some
planks that had been laid for a distance of some ten or
a"dozen yards, emptied its contents, and then, in a truly
navvy-like manner, turned his back, and pulled the barrow
to the point whence he started. During the operation, the
most deafening cheers resounded from every part of the
field. His lordship appeared Wby pagch Aratavi 1411

THE QUEEN IN GERMANY.

FROM THE COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen anchored in the Scheldt at 8.30
the evening of the 10th, and at Antwerp at 6.30
upon the morning of the 11th, after a very fine
passage.
The following telegram from Lord Bloomfield was
received at the Foreign-office :

"August 11, 5.30 p.m.
" Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and suite have just

arrived at the Breidenbach Hotel, Dta;seldorf. All well:"

The Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince
Consort arrived at Antwerp in safety yesterday, and
were met there by their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Prussia, the Prince having come from
Ostend expressly to meet her Majesty, in order to'
accompany the Queen and Prince Consort to Pots-
dam.

Her Majesty and the Prince Consort left Antwerp
for Dusseldorf, where the Queen and Prince were to
sleep last night. This morning the Queen will pur-
sue her journey to Potsdam, where the Queen and
Prince are to arrive this evening, and will there meet
their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
Frederick William of Prussia.
