TILE GREAT ATLANTIC SUBMARINE THE GULF STREAM IN THE ATLANTIO4
TEtEURAPII CABLg'.

The followin letters have been addre;sed to the
editor of the Times:—

" Sir,—l have just read in your paper of this
I morning a letter from the engineer of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company _relative to the article iu your
impression of the 22d.'inst:
" I have seen a specimen of this "cable," and
a reautifnl l;ttle rope,it is ; but leaving the ques-
tion of the efficiency of the copper-conducting wire
o those " experienced in telegraph matters," I may
be permitted, perhaps; to join the writer of your
article in expressing great doubt of the strength
and durability of .the rope.
" The 'gauge' of the iron wire forming:the strands
of rope is so extremely fine that it is hard to believe
(as we have been :told) that before oxidation pro-
ceeds to any injurious extent the iron will be pro-
tected by a casing of minute shellfish or particles of
shell and sand.
" I have a specimen of the Mediterranean cable,
and in that the thiCkness of the wire is so great
that one can see there may be time for this coating
of shell or sand to form before the oxidation of the
metal is comparatively serious. The Atlantic cable
is much smalier, much lighter, much more pliant,
and thus much more manageable than the other,
and so many experienced men are engaged about it,
and so confident of success, that it would have
seemed to me somewhat presumptuous to have ad-
vanced my opinion or doubts but for your interest-
ing article and Mr. Bright's rather incomplete re-
ply to it.—l am, sir, your obedt. servant,

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Bauci).—Before Lord Campbell and

Justice Erie and Crompton.)

THE CONVICT MANSELL V. THE QUEEN IN ERROR..
On Wednesday last the Court in thiscase granted
a writ of habeas corpus directed to the Keeper of
Maidstone gaol, to bring up the body of Thomas
Mansell, now under sentence of death for the mur-
der of lane corporal Burney, of the 49th regiment,
in order that he mightpersonallyassignerrors upon
the judgment upon which he had be.-n convicted.
The prisoner, it will be remembered, was tried be-
fore Mr. Baron Bramwell, at Maidstone, in Dec.
last, when certain objections were raised by his
counsel as to the manner in which some of the jury
ha I been challenged on the part of the Crown ;
and the Attorney-General having, in virtue of the
power vested in him, issued his fiat for a writ of
error, the Howe Secretary had respited the execu-
tiiin first, to the sth of Feb., and then till the sth
of May, for the purpose of enabling the points of
law raised in the case to be argued before this court.
The prisoner was accordingly brought up this
morning iu the custody of one of the officials con-
nected with the gaol at Maids one, and placed in
the first row behind the bar, which was teen neatly
filled with ban ist-e s. He is a man of ra her short
stature and thin franie, with a large beard of dark
brown hair, and strongly marked features, yet mild
aspect, and appeared to be about 30 years of age.
He was neatly attired in his own private clothes,
and seemed to be in good health, and little discon-
certed at the position he occupied.
As the proceedings were of a somewhat novel
character, we give them in the exact form in which
they took place.

rfr. F. Russell, the counsel who defended the
prisoner at his trial, said—My Lfrdß, the plaintiff
in error, Thos. Mansell, prays oyer of the record of
the indictment, and the proceedings against him.
Lord Campbell—Let it be read.
It was agreed chat the record shobld be taken as
recd.

Mr. Russell—lle also prays leave to assign errors
•n that record.

working expenses for the half-year ending June 30, 1856,
have been brought down to 40.56 ptr cent, of the re•
-ceipts ; and the manner in which the locomotive and
traffic departments have been conducted reflects the
highest credit on the officers of those establishments.
The details of the proposed contract with the East India
I Company for the Mirzapore and Jubbulpure hue are not
yet completed. At the suggestion of the Government of
India the company's engineers are taking borings of the
River Stitlej, with a view to determine the most eligible
point for .crossing that river; this will be the most irn-
purtant work on the line from Delhi to Lahore. As an
agent to succeed Sir M. Stephenson at Calcutta, the
board have appointed Mr. Edward Palmer, late of the
Great Western and Great Northern Rail way Companies,
who leaves this country for India by the mail of the 4th
May. The agency in the meantime hes been conducted
by Messrs. Stokes and Boyle ; the former the locomotive

superintendent in Bengal ; the latter the accountant of
the company in India. The consolidation of the shares

into stock under the resolution of the general meeting of
30th Oct last was carried out under the immediate and
personal direction of the board, and the examination into

the share and transfer department has only tended to as-
sure the board of the accuracy with which the business has
been conducted. The following directors retire :—Mr.

James Beaumont, Mr. J, D. De Vitre, Mr. Alexander
