TJIIESTE, SEPT. 9.

Accounts have been received from Constantinople
to the 4th. In consequence of the late Hatti Hou-
mayoum, recommending economy in the expenses,
the Minister of Justice and four of the superior
clerks of that department have been named intend-
ants of the five sultanas.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (2d edition),
dating yesterday (Friday), 6 p.m., says :
" It is very positively stated hsre, on the strength
of letters from Constantinople, some of which arc
understood to have been received in official quar-
ters, that there exists a conspiracy to get rid of the
present Sultan, and to replace him by his brother
Abdul Aziz. Some of these letters assert that,
when the recent stormy scene occurred at the
Porte, when Abdul Medjid so vehemently apostro-
phised his Ministers, and accused them of leading
the Empire to ruin by dilapidation of the finances,
the Sultan added, that he knew that a certain
party desired to put his brother to reign over
them in his stead, but that they would not find it
so easy a matter to make away with him, and that
they would do well to bear in mind that he was a
descendant of Soliman and of Mahomet 11., and
the son of Malunoud. It is further stated that the
conspiracy had gone so far that the majority of the
foreign Ambassadors at Constantinople had thought
proper to inform certain leading persons in the plot
that, if Abdul Aziz came to the throne by violent
means, he would not be recognised by the European
Powers. All this is news of rather a startling charac-
ter. With Turkey in the European concert, and
brought so near to us by steam and frequent inter-
course, one fancies that the days of sack and bow-
string must be gone by, never to return. If the facts
be as above stated, we must soon have confirmation
of them. Meanwhile, the source from which they
reach me is sufficiently trustworthy to warrant
their communication to you. From the same
quarter I learn that Turkey and Persia have been
on the brink of a complete rupture, and that it was
to prevent this, and to re-knit the almost severed
thread of diplomatic negotiations, that Ferukh
Khan remained at Constantinople."

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

The Moniteur says::—" It results from informa-
tion which has reached the Government that the
produce of the taxes and indirect revenues for the
month of August exceeds by more than five mil-
lions that of the corresponding period of 1857, and
that the real surplus is nearly six millions, if the
double decline on the registration dues, which has
been suppressed since the eommenceMent of the
present year, be taken into account."
Count Walewski, who, as we stated, had pro-
ceeded:from Vichy to Biarritz, will prolong his
residence there until the end of September..
Lord Stratford de Bedeliffe, a letter from Mar-
seilles states, has left that port for ConAantinople.
The Brussels journals seem of late to have taken
to tinDanlye§ the speciaityer p4l4,4hing;errone9llo

accounts of disasters to consular agents in the East.
A Paris correspondent of the Independance of Brus-
sels says :—" I have just received a piece of intelli-
gence which proves that the statement previously
given of the massacre of Christian consuls is not a
fable, as has been asserted. M. Delmas, consular agent
of France (the locality I do not yet know) and his
wife are said to have been massacred by the Mus-
sulman police, and a young girl violated. lam
promised more ample details to-morrow."
The Constitutionnel, in giving the above, adds :

"We believe this statement to be completely un-
founded. There exists no French consular agent
of the name of Delmas, and we think we may
positively state that no fact of the kind has been
hitherto officially communicated to the French
G overnmen t."

BOURSE, Sept. 10.—The market has been very
buoyant, but shares have been still more in request
than Rente. Threes have been done at 72fr. 50c.,

THE ATLANTIC. TELEGRAPH.

The first despatch containing general public in-
telligence transmitted by the Atlantic cable from
this country to America was printed in the New
York papers of Aug. 27. It was ample and com-
prehensive, and included intelligence of high im-
portance, and as showing what has been done and
may still be expected, it is worth re-publishing. It
was as follows :

" Valentia, Wednesday, Aug. 25.
" Later and highly important, intelligence has
been received from China.
"iA treaty of peace had been concluded with China,
by which England and France obtain all their de-
mands, including the establishment of embassies at
Pekin, and indemnification for the expenses of the
war. _

" Later Indian news are to hand, the dates from
Bombay being to the 19th of July. The accounts
represent that the mutiny was being rapidly
quelled.
" To-day's London papers have a long and in-
teresting report by Mr. Bright, the Atlantic
Telegragh Company's engineer.
" The royal mail steam-ship Asia, with the mails
for llalifax and Boston, is to be despatched from
Liverpool on Saturday next.
" The screw steam-ship North American, with
Canadian mails, was to leave Liverpool to-day for
Quebec and Montreal ; and the United States mail
steam-ship Fulton, for New York, was to be de-
spatched from Southampton to-day."
The above despatch was received at Trinity Baby
at about nine o'clock on the night of the 23th, and
would have been here in ample season for publica-
tion in next morning's papers had the line in Nova
Scotia not closed at nine o'clock. We understand

that after the cable is opened for business all the
land lines will remain open night and day, and the
speedy laying of the cable from Placentia Bay,
N.F., to Sydney, N.S., or to Portland, Me., will
obviate much of the delay and uncertainty in trans-
acting business between New York and Trinity
Bay.
The editors of the New York papers, taking note
of the satisfactory announcement of peace with
China, found fault with the Valentia telegrapher
for omitting to state what was the effect of this
good news upon Consols and cotton. The New
York Times observes :

" There is still a feeling of disappointment, and
we do not think it at all an unreasonable one, that
the electricians will persist, for no good reason
whatever, to deny the public the knowledge of the
length of time which is required to transmit a mes-
sage from Valentia Bay to Cyrus station. The
despatches from Valentia should be dated at the
hour when the operators commence sending them
over, and until this shall be done there will be a
feeling of disappointment and impatience, on the
part of the public, at being deprived of what they
feel they have a right to know."
Mr. Hilgard, an assistant in the United States
Coast Survey, left New York on the 24th of Aug.
for Trinity Bay, to ascertain when the telegraph
cable may be used for the purpose of determining
longitude. Mr. Hilgard will remain long enough
at Cyrus station to satisfy himself as to the capa-
bilities of the cable for transmitting signals as
rapidly as will be required for his observations.
There, was, however, even then much doubt as to
the possibility of obtaining results at all prac-
ticable for scientific purposes, until the apparatus
then in use should be more perfected, as the trans-
mission appeared to be too slow. Until the ticking
of a clock can be marked, nothing can be done in
this way.
The correspondent of Saunders' News Letter,
writing from the scene of the late banquet at Kil-
larney, says :--" It is understood to be the opinion
of some of the leading electricians in connection
with the company that the defect exists at a dis-
tance of at least 300 miles from the shore. Were it
within a range of 100 miles it is believed that the in-
jury would be capable of remedy, but of course in the
deep sea portions the catastrophe must be irreme-
diable so Tar as the existing cable is concerned.
Such a result would be the more, to be deplored from
its taking place in the moment of gratulation and
triumph, but the anticipation of the Viceroy will
doubtless be realised, that " even if the present
venture should be,unsuccessful in maintaining its
place, the energy and enterprise of the people of
this country will not allow it to die away."

THE TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPIL—The Debats
publiShes the following letter addressed to it by M.
Babinet, of the Institute of. France :—"'your
readers may' have seen that I was one of the first to
pronounce the success of laying down the Transat-
lantic Telegraph to be something, miraculous. The
event was the more meritorious that, in a recent
conversation with one of the heads of the French
telegraph lines, we agreed that it was nearly im-
possible to obtain a satisfactory working from a
conductor of that kind. In fact, the electric cur-
rent, by running along a metallic wire, and par-
ticularly one enveloped in other wires, produces a
powerful electrical charge, which, in freeinr, itself,
gives signals completely foreign to the despatch.
The only remedy is to wait patiently until every-
thing has become again calm, which requires a con-
siderable time.. It is nearly the same as what would
occur in a room where there is a very strong echo,
and where a person speaking would be obliged
to stop at each word. This embarrassment had
already occurcd on a small scale in the line
across the English Channel ; but the weakness
of the electric return currents allowed the incon-
venience to be got over by the use of a mag-
netic apparatus which was not too easily affected.
The telegraph to Algeria already suffers materially
from this cause. As to the Transatlantic Telegraph,
of which the English and the Americans are so
justly proud, it is well known that the message
from the Queera to the President of the-Union re-
quired 20 hours' continued labour. It is said to be
in contemplation tp lay down a second cable ; it
would have been more.prudent to get a dozen made
at once. With the results obtained, it is difficult to
understand the boldness of the self-approbation of
the journals which so loudly applaud the transmis-
sion of 100 words in twenty hours."—[M. Babinet
is surely mistaken. In the letter from Mr. 'George
Saward, secretary to the company, which we pub-
lished on the 23d ult., it is stated that " the Presi-
dent's message, with addresses, numbered 143
words, as transmitted, and occupied two. hours in
its passage through the cable, including several re-
peats and corrections. ]

TRIBUTE TO CAPT.zIIN
GOI?GO2V. DAYMAN OF THE

The St. John's papers publish the following in-
teresting correspondence
" St. John's, N.F., Friday, Aug. 13, 1858.
" To Capt. Dayman, ILM.S.S. Gorgon.
" Sir,—The Chamber of CoMmerce of St. John's
cannot allow you to depart from this port without
tendering their congratulations to you and to your
officers on the successful termination of the great
enterprise of laying. the Transatlantic Cable, in
which you have assisted. As commander of the
Cyclops, you greatly facilitated the undertaking by
the accurate and scientific sounding of the Atlantic,
and as Captain of the Gorgon, both Capt, Hudson,
of the Niagara, and Cyrus W. Field, Esq., have
borne ample testimony to the great value of your
services in leading the Niagara, by your very cor-
rect great circle steering, from mid-ocean to Trinity
Bay. It has been gratifying to the Chamber of
Commerce to hear the high terms of eulogy in
which the ser' ices- of the Gorgon have been spoken
of by so good a judge of naval skill as the distin-
guished commander of the United States' frigate
Niagara, Captain Hudson ; and it will afford them
still greater
.gratification if they should hereafter
learn that tlu Lords of the Admiralty had marked
their sense of the value of your service and of that
of your officer s by well-merited promotion.
" WALTER GRIEVE, President."
