ATLANTIC TELE&RA PH COMPANY.

The report of the directors just issued expresses
the desire of those sent in anticipation of the ordi-
nary annual meeting, to lay before the shareholders
the present position of the company's affairs, and
to submit to then the policy of the board in refe-
tenets to future proceedings. The Atlantic' Tele-
graph Company was registered under the Limited
Liability Act, 1856, on the 21st of October in that
year. On the sth of December, in the same year,
the whole of the shares had been fully subscribed
for, and in a few days afterwards the entire deposit
of 2001. per share had been paid up. An act of
complete corporation was obtained during the last
session. The borrowing powers, however, which
had been applied for were objected to by ie Com-
mittee of the House of Lords, and so limited in
amount, that, at the present time, th3' company
have no borrowing powers whatever. The dire ots
relate the progress of the attempt made last year to
lay down their telegraph cable, with the history of
which the public is acquainted. After quoting the
opinions of the commanding officers of the ships
composing the telegraphic squadron, the directors
state that they "assent to their general principles.
They think that the formof the cable is well suited
to the object in view, and that with apparatus
properly constructed and wel attested previously,
there will be comparatively little difficulty in suc-
cessfully laying it on the next occasion. They also
agree that, in the ensuing attempt, it will be de-
sirable to join the c shies iu mid-ocean, instead of
staring from either shore. They are further of
opinion that considerable modifications are required
in the paying-out machinery before a second
attempt-be-made to lay the cable, and especially in
that portion of it which relates to the retarding of
the egress of the cable. Tue machinery has, there-
fore, been submitted to a scientific committee, con-
sisting of Mr. Penn, of G..eenwich, Mr. Joshua
Field, of the firm of Maudslay, Sons, and Field,
Mr. Lloyd, of the steam department of Her Ma-
jesty's navy, and Mr. W. Everett, chief engineer
of the United States frigate Niag tra. The
&rectors having solicited the United States govern-
ment to permit the return of Mr. Everett to this
country, for the purpose of aiding this enterprise, are
happy to state that their wishes have been complied
with, and that Mr. Everett is now in England, de-
voting his entire attention, in conjunction with
Messrs. Easton and Amos, and Mr. Bright, the
engineer of the company, in advising upon, and
superintending such modifications in the paying-out
apparatus, as, after a series of experinieets, added
to the practical knowledge gained during the late
operations, may in their opinion be the best. After
due consideration as to the expediency of again at-
tempting to lay the cable in the month of October
last, the directors concluded that the attempt would
be imprudent and hazardous ; and they therefore
decided upon discharging the cable from the ships,
for the purpose of having it carefully examined and
re-coiled, and of housing it until after another sea-
son. To this end application was made to the Lords

Commissioners of the Admiralty, who, with groat
kindness, have appropriated to the use of the com-
pany, at Keyham, a vacant powder magazine, and
the surrounding premises, on which the company
has erected wooden tanks, properly roofed over,
and suitable for receiving the cable. The cable
itself has been pasted through a mixture of tar,
linseed oil, pitch, and beeswax, previous to its
being re coiled in the tanks, in order to its effectual
preservation from atmospheric influence during the
winter. The premises granted by the Admiralty
at Keyham, afford also room for the convenient
carrying forward of the general electrical arrange-
ments, and for pursuing important scientific in-
vestigations tending to their improved efficiency.
The manipulating staff are kept busily engaged in
practice upon commercial messages of the same
character that would be daily passing if the wire
were open for traffic, by which means they will Le
come throughly accustomed to the very peculiar
mode of signalling adoptedby this company; whose
system, owing to the unprecedented length of the
Atlantic conductor, necessarily differs from that of
any ether telegraph company. The company have
accepted an offer made by Mr. John Macintosh,
for raising the remainder of the submerged cable ;
the basis of the arrangement being, that the com-
pany incurs no risk or expense in case of failure ;
but undertakes to pay a stipulated rate or price
per mile for all cable delivered in good order at
Devonport. The length of the cable now at Daven-
port, including the recovered portion, is 2,163
miles. In addition to this the directors have con-

tracted with the Gutta Percha Company, and with
Messrs. Glass, Elliot and Company, for the manu-
facture of 400 wiles of new cable, which is now in
courses of delivery. The total will thus be restored
to 2,563 miles—alengtb, which in the first instance

was thought to contain a sufficient margin for
" slack," and for all contingencies, but which the
directors, acting on subsequent experience, and im-
pressed with the opinion that no point in the com-
pany's operations on the next occasion should be
left to uncertainty, are now disposed to think in-
adequate. An outlay will consequently be involved
for furnishing the further length of cable, now be-
lieved to be necessary (about 300 miles), which, as
it had never been anticipated, was not provided for
in the estimate upon which the first issue of shares
took place ; and the balance of subscribed capital
being therefore inadequate to justify the directors
in entering into any further engagements, it will be
necessary, in order to meet this originally unfore-
seen contingency, that au issue of new capital be
authorised at the meeting on the 18th February,
and provided for without delay in such manner as
may be resolved upon. As experience, however,
has now fully satisfied the directors that an increased
length of cable is one of those points which, on the
resumption of operations this year, may materially
contribute to the success of the undertaking it is
presumed that the shareholders and the public will
readily assist in providing the moderate amount of
additional capital required for that purpose, and for
leaving in hand a sufficient balance to meet any
contingencies that may still be unforeseen. It wll

be seen- by the financial statement appended hereto
that up to December 31, 1857, the company had
received on capital and interest account the sum of
347,398/. 13i. 11d. The expenditure to the same
date had been 301,4001. 10s. 10d., leaving a total
balance of 49,698/. 3s. id. to meet existing and
future engagements. This balm ice consisted of
45,998/. 3s. id. in cash and securities, and
3,700/. calls unpaid at that period. The latter item
has been reduced to 1,600/., by payments made
subsequently. Deducting from this balance, the
liabilities of the company in respect to the new
cable now being manufactured, &c., and the ap-

proximate eztimate of probable chArges that will
occur in carrying forward the operation of laying
the cable next season, amounting to 26,0311., there
would appear to be a balance of 13,6671. 133. I.d.
only available to meet any unexpected expenditure.
The value of the cable on hand at Devonport and

in course of manufacture is computed at 224,8321.
and the stores and miscellaneous property remaining
in possession of the company may be estimated at
11,9001. ; making a total of available property iu
the hands of the company (inclusive of the balance
of unexpended capital) amounting to 286,4301.
The costs and expenses attending the manufacture
of a further length of 300 miles of cable may be
estimated, in round numbers at 30,0001. It will
therefore be necessary be necessary, in ordEr to
place the financial affairs of the company in a state
that would justify the board in entering into this
further liability, that an additional amount of ca-
pital should be raised. And, as the directors feel
confident that they will be enabled to conclude an
arrangement on fair and equitable terms with the
original projectors for the extinction of all the ex-
tensive privileges seemed to them by an agrefment
made between them and the provisional committee
on the 29th day of October, 1856, the directors
earnestly recommend that further provision may
also be made for this purpose ; and they would
suggest that the requisite amount may be raised by
the issue of new shares of 201. each ; and that
authority be taken from the shareholders, at the''
same time, to convert (after the cable shall have
been successfully laid) the entire capital into shares
of the same nominal amount as the new shares."
Reviewing the past the direciors say, " Thee is
uo discouragement in the future. No element of
failure has-been developed which is not completely
within the grasp of science ; no natural obstacle
has arisen to forbid the most complete and s Atis-
factory termination to the work ; on the contrary,
every anticipate difficulty has been practically sur-
mounted. Electric signals bad been sent and re-
ceived satisfactorily throueli the entire conductor,
2,500 miles in length. The cable had been laid
along one of the most difficult pbrtions of the route
with the greatest facility. The deep soundings of
the Atlantic had been reached, and the psi feet pos-
sibility of communicating by telegraph with Amp..
rice bad advanced from theory into certainty, whet,
the ripening hopes of the first year's labour were
suddenly put an end to by a description of accident,
which in all human probability would never have
occurred had wore taw bees wade Ayailobio tor,

the elaboration of the company's arrangements, by
postponing its operations until another year."
The directors notice the fact that during the late
panic the telegraphic cable would have saved more
than its cost to both countries. The importance
of the communiettion to trade gives indications of
a handsome return to the shareholders, especially.
wh"n taken together with the annual sub -1(1y of
14,0001. a-year accruing from the English G ivern-
went, and of an equal amount from that of the
Milted States, making a total guaranteed income
of 28,0001. per annum, added to the protective pri-
vileges that have been accorded to this company in
Newfoundland and ehewliere.
The directors state that they cannot close their
observations to the shareholders without bearing
their warm and cordial testimony to the untiring
zeal, talent, and energy that have been displayed on
behalf of this enterprise by Mr. Cyrus W. Mld,
of New York, to whrm mainly belongs the honour
of having practically developed the possibility, and
of having brought together the material me ins for
carrying out the great idea of connecting Europe
and America by a.submarine telegraph.

THE LATE ATTE.IIPTED ASSASSI-

NATION.

We take from yesterday's Moniteur the follow-
ing remarks made by the Minister of Public In-
struction, M. Rouland, in the address delivered by
him upon the occasion of presenting the prizes to
he students of the Philotechuic and Polytechnic
Societies for the instruction of the working classes
in Paris :
The Imperial family has been true to its noble
traditions. Napoleon I. led on the French people
in his-own steps to defend his national right, de-
niad at that time by all the mouarchiedof Europe.
He placed that people everywhere, in the camps,
coulicils, and admini,tratio►ss. He loved them,
wished them to be great and honoured. B. th of
Clem, the people and the Emperor, lived with one
heart, one and the same thought ; and during
their strong halts, when the din of battles slept,
they founded together by their manners and laws
that new France which has no equal among na-
qons. Therefore, when the Emperor, exiled from
his country, went to die on the rock of St. Helena,,
his name continued to live in the depth of men's
souls, and his glorious image, hovering over fresh
generations, received frora them an ovation of re-
spect previously unknown to history. Napoleon
ll[., in his turn, spurning all vulgar ambitions,
and having saved that France which anarchy
wanted to sully and enslave, came to offer the
people the clasp of a powerful and friendly hand.
Consecrated by universal suffrage, he has brought
the country hack to a true feeling for great
things ; he has invited France to pirtake
with him all his ideas of justice and national dig-
nity. In his hands the flag of France has egsi❑
found its ancient glory, and the astonished world
has greeted in our young soldiers the discipline and
bravery of the old phalanxes of the army. So
many glories and services, so much devotion and
intelligence, have assured to the Emperor the love
of the people, but they have not been able to avert
those savage passions which, disowned by every
nation, as they ought to ba by every asylum,
attack princes and governments for the purpo,s3 of
gratifying some frightful lust of murder and
destruction. God has given no name to these
infamies and insane appetites of the human mind,
and nations only term them by the horror they
inspire. Our children will refuse to 'believe in
these lameirahle recitals of infernal machines scat-
tering death amongst a whole mass of collected in
dividual that it thus might reach more surely a
noble and loyal sovereign and his well-beloved
consort, whose grata, confidence, and inexhaus-
tibe kindness could nut protect her from the
implacable hatred of the regicides. But let them
at least find, in our annals, the expression of our
universal indignation. Gentlemen, the whole mass
of the people has risen to brand the assassins. It
would have risen likewise to crush their criminal
success and to protect toe infant heir of the greatest
popular name iu modern times. I bear witness to
their loyalty, honour, and patriotism ; and you all
will repeat with me, workmen and masters, rich
and poor, these words which France has ratified—

. _
Contempt and maledictions upon those who dis.
Louour humanity."

LA TV AMENDMENT SOCIETY.

' A meeting of the members of this society took
place lastevening at their rooms, No. 3, Waterloo-
place ; Mr. W. S. CoorcsoN in the chair. The
minutes of the last meeting having been read and
confirmed,
Mr. HASTINGS read a report on a proposed bill
for providing an index to the Parochial Registers
of Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials in England.
It was proposed that the index should commence
from 1750, the extracts from the various registers
throughout the country from that date to 1837 to
be furnished by the ministers of the various
parishes, the cost of which to be paid by a rate
in each parish. The alphabetical index to be kept
at the General Register Office, and searches to be
allowed at a moderate charge. The committee were
of opinion that such a work, if completely and
accurately achieved, would be of considerable bene-
fit to the public, and would be worth the expense
and trouble attending it. It would diminish the
expense of tracing pedigrees and making out titles,
which at present, there being 12,000 registers in
England, was often very considerable, and the
difficulty sometimes attending it being ahnost in-
surmountable. While they agreed in the necessity
for such an index, they on several points dissented
from the proposed measure. The provision for a
parish rate to deiray the cost of copying the regis-
ters was calculated to excite much opposition. A
more serious objection arose as to the mode of ob-
tainine, copies of the reg7ster from the labour it
would cast upon the clergy, and the inadequate
guarantee for the accuracy of the work. The value
of the index would entirely depend upon the accu-
racy of the transcripts, winch could only be ensured
by employing careful and intelligent copyists, and
a diligent supervision, which could hardly be exer-
cised on the plan proposed. The opinion of the
committee was that a bill ought to be paseed com-
pelling incumbents to forward to Somerset-house
the original registers, to be there copied under the
supervision of the authorities, and, when copied,
returned to their original depository ; that the
transcripts so made shall be properly indexed for
the purposes of reference, and made secondary evi-
deuce in the case of the loss of the originals. The
commit*ee see no reition wly the work, if gradually
and economically effected, should draw on the re-
venue of the country to any burdensome extent.
The registers would pass free through the Post-
office, in pursuance of the Registration Aco.
On the motion of Mr. BENJAMIN JONES, seconded
by Mr. HERBERT BROOME, the report was accepted,
and ordered to be printed and circulated.
Mr. HasTINGs called attention to the fact of the
deficiency in the law relating to legitimacy, there
being no provision enabling a man to prove his
legitimacy unless on a question of disputed pro-
perty. He moved the appointment of a committee
to consider the matter.

Mr. FRANCIS seconded the motion, which was
agreed to; and the proceedings terminated.

prepared for them, and they have ben constantly

and every requisite for comfort. Many come to
Calcutta with only the rags they have ou, and some
' in men's clothes lent them on their way down. Some
of these ladies are in the most deplorable state of
health, with constitutions ruined for life from their
sufferings. We have had large supplies of beauti-
ful new clothing sent oat from England for distri-
bution among them. The ladies and women from
Lucknow are daily expected, and we have prepared
everything for their comfortable rec*tion. The
stories circulating about the garrison duriog their
long and terrible trial are most extraordinary.
The sense of danger was so intense that after a time
they became callous to death. For 120 days they
were constantly under fire, and only 4 days passed
without the loss of some of their number. More
than half the garrison were killed. The ladies now
write down from Allahabad that the reaction and
quiet of their present condition is almost as painful
as the siege itself. The torpor of death seems to
have crept over them, and all are giving way under
it. Young brides of a few weeks are grown auto
aged, grey-hailed widows, not to be recognised by
those who saw them a few months ago. eit seems

AN AUDACIOUS MENDICANT. —A man named Brog•
non was three days ago tried by the Tribunal of Cor-
rectional Police of Charleville for a singular species of
what the law calls " mendicity with threats. He
pretended to be somewhat of a sorcerer, and used to
hawk about for sale among the peasantry and
and
rings, which be said had been blessed in the chapel of St.
Hubert, in Belgium, and which had the virtue of curing
various maladies, and were in particular a preservative
against hydrophobia ; and when people refused to buy
them from him he looked at them in a strange way,
murmured unintelligible words, and then, with singular
gestures, exclaimed, " I condemn you to repeat 25

[ADVERTISIIMENT.]—The distinguishing
0 characteristic of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food is succinctly described by
one of the sufferers who have been
relieved by it, as having
" done all that medicine failed
to effect." Without recourse
to clyster or bolus, it affords
a perfect cure in the most in-
veterate and distressing cases of
disease
connected with the
nerves, stomach, liver, kidneys,and • •
intestines, as exhibited
in au innumerable variety of malignant forms. The ms. to f
those who have taken the trouble to acknowledge personally
the benefits they have derived from the Food now consider.
ably exceeds Fifty Thousand, and includes persons of all
classes, from the peer to the artisan. Honest Sergearit Noels,
of H.M.S. Cro-odile, who declares that he has been re.
stored to health and life by it, and " wishes every peer
creature labouring under disease could become acquainted
with the Food ;" is as ex,licit in his thanks as Lord Stuart
de Decies, Major-General King, the Ven. Archdeacon Stuart.
&c., &c., &c. Mr. J. S. Newton, of Plymouth, declares to
the same effect :—" For the last ten years I have been suf-
fering from dyspepsia, headaches, nervousness, low spirits,
, sleep essuess, and delusions, and swallowed an incredible
1 amount of medicine without relief. lam happy to say that
your Food has curd me, and I am now enjoying better
health than I have bad for many years," Ex uno discs
ontnes. In every instance, the report is the same—perfect
cure—health, ease, and happiness, after years of vain experi-
ment, and the outlay of continuous sums of money in
physic. At 'no epoch in the history of humanity has such
a mass of indisputable, incontrovertible evidence been
brought to bear upon a topic involving the most
momentous consequences to ,the well-being of all.
