all possible expedition, the Niagara for the Ame-
rican continent, the Agamemnon for Telegraph
House, Valentia Harbour, Ireland, the chosen
spot of her destination. This rendezvous in mid-
ocean then, towards which the wire squadron is
now bent on steering direct is, as nearly as possi-
ble, 52 deg. 2 min. north latitude, 33 deg.
18 min. west iningitUde. Whence the cable is to
be trailed on the American side to 47 deg.
49 min. north latitude, and 54 deg. 0 min. west
longitude. While the before-mentioned Telegraph-
house at Valentia is situated, on the other hand,
in 51 deg. 66 min. north latitude, and 10 deg.
25 min. west longitude. A glance at MERCATOR'S
chart, or, better still, at a terrestrial globe, will
explain the submarine route instantaneously.
Fortunately, before the last great move is
made, when the Niagara and Agamemnon are
running out of sight of each other—every con-
ceivable precaution has been provided against—
the results, these precautionary measures, of many
tedious, most anxious, and many of them most
ingenious experiments. Engineering skill has, for
the present at least, exhausted its suggestions
upon the enterprise. With fair weather and an
ordinary amount of that good fortune vulgarly
called luck—when everything goes together har-
moniously—there appears at this moment to be
something like a reasonable certainty of a success-
ful issue this time to the undertaking. It
is not unreasonable, we think, to hope
that this expectation may be fulfilled, and
that our long-cherished day-dream may at
length, indeed, be happily realised. It is
not by any means, of course, the first submarine
telegraphic cable that will have been deposited
safely on the bed of the ocean. There is the cable
between France and England. There is the cable
between England and Ireland. There is the cable
to Holland. There are the cables threading here
and there the submarine intricacies of the Medi-
terranean. One after another—after repeated
failures these deep-sea lines were ulti-
mately and happily payed-out and deposited. It
is only continuing the previous system upon a
larger scale—the application of this grand pro-
ject to the bed of the Atlantic—a project that
elsewhere has again and again been carried out
with such conjunction of propitious circum-
stance. Still, at the same time, hopeful though
we are, though we reasonably may be, we cannot
in reason be more than sanguine. The enterprise
is of a most beneficent and humanizing purpose—
it is calculated, when completed (for it is only, of
course, a question of time), to knit together the
whole human race with the bonds of peace and
universal brotherhood—and therefore we may
hope and pray to the last that it may have the
blessing of Divine Providence.

The Moniteur says :—" The Emperor had the
pious idea of assuring to France the possession of
the habitation in which the Emperor Napoleon I
terminated his days, and of the tomb in which his
ashes reposed. Associating itself with the august
solicitude of his Majesty, the Legislative Body voted
to the department of Foreign Affairs an extraordi-
nary credit of 180,000 f. The acquisition of these
precious remains is now a fait accompli. An
order of the proper authorities of St. Helena on the
18th March last, and ratified on the 7th May fol-
lowing by the Queen of England, conferred on the
Emperor of the French and his heirs for ever the
absolute property of the domain of Longwood and
of the tomb of Napoleon I. Thus, thanks to the
friendly intervention of the Government of her
Britannic Mtjesty, these sacred places, in which
incomparable destinies were accomplished, belong
henceforth to France."

" It appears," says the Moniteur, "from offi-
cial returns that the indirect taxes and revenues,
in May last, show an increase of 1,949,477 f. over
those of the same month of last year. The augmen-
tation would be 2,637,9gf. if the double deem° on
registration dues, which has ceased to be levied
since the commencement of the year, were taken
into account. The increase is 7,908,507 f., com-
pared with May, 1856, and 7,354,548 f. above the
estimates for the budget of 1858.
M. Cremieux has undertaken the defence of M.
Proudhon before the Court of Appeal.

some little affair of Monaco, has suddenly left for

an unexpected difficulty.
It is very positively stated that the judges of in-
struction of Versailles have made what is called a
decree of " non lieu," in the affair of M. de Pene,
the English of which is that the prosecution against
Lieut. Hyenne is buried, and he will be free to
pursue his military career, and enjoy the esteem of
his comrades, who approve of his conduct. This
result was to be expected.
Prince Napoleon will leave Paris for Algiers, it
is said, in July, but only for a visit of about a

definitive departure in the course of the autumn.
A visit from the King of Greece to the Emperor
