Communication by Electric Telegraph between Great Bri-
tain and America is no longer a theoretical proposition, but
an accomplished fact.
The development of this enterprise—one of the greatest of
modern times—is entirely due to the Atlantic Telegraph
Company.
In consequence, however, of the accidents and injuries to
which the first Cable was subjected before its final and suc-
cessful submergence, a considerable loss, and still greater dis-
appointment, have resulted to the original Shareholders ; but
the Directors are sanguine as to the permanent success which
awaits their future exertions.
The Subscribers to the Preferential Capital now about to
be issued will not be affected by the losses of the first pro-
prietors.
The Preferential Capital will consist of 120,000 Shares of
£5 per share.
It is proposed to call up 50 per cent. of this amount, viz.,
10s. per Share to accompany the application for the Shares,
and a further sum of £2 per Share on allotment.
These Shares will have all the privilege of guaranteed Pre-
ferential" Shares in the Atlantic Telegraph Company, under
the following resolution of the Extraordinary General Share-
holders' Meeting of June 8, 1859.
Resolved,—" That the said Capital of £600,000, or so
much thereof as may from time to time be issued shall
be and is hereby constituted. Preferential Capital of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company, and the Shares therein
shall be entitled to receive upon the amounts from time
to time paid up, a Dividend of 8 per cent. per annum,
payable half-yearly, out of the balance of profit in each
half-year.
" That after 8 per cent. shall have been paid on such
Preferential Shares, all the old capital of the Company
shall next become entitled to a Dividend of 4 per cent.
" That after such 8 and 4 per cent. shall have been re-
spectively provided for, the whole capital of the Com-
pany shall participate equally, pro rata, in any addi-
tional profits.
The dividend on the Preferential Shares is ensured by the
guarantee of the British Government. of 8 per cent. per an-
num for twenty-five ye irs on all am.,unts called up and em- 1
ployed not exceeding £600,000, the condition being that the
Cable shall be laid and work successfully.
_

In case of temporary mispensiooof working, from injury to
the Cable or other causes, the Government will allow a libe-
ral tifne for its restoration, during which time they will con-

tinue their guarantee.
The dividend during the time the Cable is successfully at
work is further secured by subsidies amounting to £20,000
a-year from her Majesty's Govet nment, and 70,000 dollars or
more than £14,000 a-year from the Government of the United
States.
The Companyts minimum' secured or absolute revenne.
therefore, without taking into account the grftt receipts that
may be expected from commercial and other messages, will
be £34,000 a-year, commencing from the day when the Cable
is successfully laid.
The connexion which has already been established between
this Company and the New York, Newfoundland, and Lon-
don Telegraph Company secures a full participation in the
valuable privileges and traffic arrangements possessed by
them over all the telegraphic systems in British North Ame-
rica and in the United States.
In addition to the annual subsidies already spoken of, the
Atlantic Telegraph Company will, by means of this connexion
enjoy special advantages with reference to reductions in tariff,
and special facilities for the transmission of "through" pas-
sages over the whole continent of America, enabling them to
serve the publie in a manner that cannot be competed with,
and at a profit to themselves which could not be attained by
any. other Company.
The construction of the next and future Cables will, in many
essential particulars, differ from that of the first.
The experience now possessed by the Company of the course
along which the Cable has been laid, and which is the only
line across the Atlantic Ocean hitherto demonstrated to be
practicable for submerging a Telegraph Cable, is of the
greatest value.
The further experience of this Company in the electrical
and other phenomena developed by them on the longest of all
Telegraphic Cables will, it is believed, result in the working
of messages at twice the rate that has lately been expected
from an Atlantic Cable.
The Directors will enter into no engagement or contract
without seeking the mature advice of the highest scientific
and practical authorities in this country and in America, with
whom they are in treaty, and whose names will shortly be
published. This will enable them to decide with confidence
upon the external form and construction of the Cable, its
specific gravity, its insulation, and the size of its conductor.
The Directors are fully alive to the importance of a prudent
economy, and it is expected that a sum far less than that which
power has been taken to raise will be ample to cover the
manufacture, insurance, and submersion of the Cable ; but
the first object of the Directors will be to secure the most per-
fect and the best manufacoured Cable that can be constructed.
Proposals have already been received froin respectable con-
tractors, which, if accepted, will ensure the manufacture of the
new Cable at the smallest cost consistent with efficiency and
durability. These offers are such as would ensure, under the
protection of effective penalties, its careful submergence and
its efficient working for one mouth.
As a further precaution, the Directors contemplate being
able to take out a policy of insurance to cover the risk of the
successful submersion of the Cable from shore to shore.
The earliest operations entered into will be directed to an
endeavour to resuscitate or raise the old Cable, for which pur-
pose the Directors have obtained permission from the Govern-
ment to employ, in the first instance, a sum not exceeding
£20,000 out .of the new guaranteed capital. If successful in
these endeavours, the British Government consent to com-
mence at once to pay £14,000 a-year, which they will increase
to £20,000 when the new Cable is 'laid, whether the effort to
resuscitate the old Cable be successful or not. The subsidy
of 70,000 dollars per annum from the United States Govern-
, ment will also commence at once if the attempts to restore the
old Cable are successful.
The Directors will not commence any works nor conclude
any contracts till the amount of new 8 per cent. Preferential
Stock subscribed for reaches £300,000 ; and they undertake
that, if the subscriptions do not amount to that sum at least,
they will return to the Subscribers the deposits advanced by
them, deducting only the trifling sum per Share incurred in
the preliminary expenses attendant on the issue of this new
capital, and any portion of the £20,000 which may have been
expended in attempting to raise or resuscitate the old Cable
which shall not be balanced by the value of the Cable so re-
covered.
It is believed by the Directors that, under the foregoing
proposed arrangements, a very promising investment is offered
to the original Shareholders and to the public, and that the
accomplishment of the great work is thereby rendered to a
large extent secure and certain.
Applications for Shares will be received in the form set forth
below, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, at the
Offices, 22, Old Broad-street, E.C., London ; the first deposit
of Ios. per Share being at the same time remitted to either of
the undermentioned bankers. This amount will be returned in
full if the Shares are not allotted.
By order.
GEORGE SAWARD, Secretary.
22, Old Broad-street, London, 1859.

SIR BENJAMIN HALL'S FAREWELL
TO MARILEBONE.

On Satarday there was a very fully-attended
meeting of the Representative Council of St. Mary-
lebone held at the Court-house, it having been an-
nounced in the circular that the Right Hon. Sir
Benjamin Hall would attend at one o'clock to take
leave of the board on the occasion of his ceasing to
be the member for the borough by reason of being
raised to the peerage.
Mr. George Poland, parochial churchwarden,
occupied the chair, and Sir James Hamilton, the
Crown churchwarden ; the rector, the Rev. E. J.
P. Eyre, and most of the leading members of the
body, were present. Shortly after 12 o'clock,
The RECTOR rose and begged. the permission of
the chairman to address a few observations to the
vestry, and to propose a resolution which he did not
anticipate for a moment would elicit any very great
difference of opinion. It was a well-known fact
that that vestry was composed of gentlemen of all
shades of political opinion. Although that was the
case, and although they might many of them differ
with the political sentiments of one to whom he
was about to refer, still he was sure they would
not hesitate to join with him in expressing their
sentiments of respect and gratitude to one who had
served them for a long series of years most faith-
fully and zealously as their representative in Par-
liament, and who had devoted his great talent and
untiring energy to the best interests of that parish
and borough. (Cheers.) More especially did he
believe they would join with him in an expression
of their approbation of the public career of one who
was on that day about to take leave of them in his
public capacity as their representative for ever.
(Hear.) It had pleased her Majesty to raise to the
peerage the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, who
had for so many years represented that borough in
Parliament.. That was only a just recognition of
his services, but it behoved that body who •were
about to lose them, to tender their acknowledg-
ments for the great ability , the extraordinary zeal,
and for the courteous attention and readiness with
which he had attended to their interests during
the long period of twenty-two years in Parliament.
(Cheers.) He begged to move "That the congratu-
lations of this vestry be offered to the Right Hon.
Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., on his elevation to the
House of Lords; and at the same time he be as-
sured of the sense which this vest.xy entertains of
the great ability and zeal with which he has de-
voted himself to all matters affecting the interests
oflthe parish, and of the readiness of access and
courteous attention which he has shown to all per-
sons.connected with it during the twenty-two
years he has represeented the borough of Maryle-
bohe in the Commons House of Parliament."
(Loud applauie.)
Mr. DIFFAN GEtt, jun., had the greatest pleasure
in 'seconding the resolution. The borough of Mary-
lebone were about to lose a valuable representa-
tive. The great exertions of the Right Hon. Sir
B. Hall in the cause of local self-government would
ever be remembered, he hoped, by the electors of
Marylebone. They had ever found in Sir B. Hall
a faithful and courteous member, such a one as he
feared they should never find in any future repre-
sentative. (Hear.) At that moment the borough
of Marylebone was in the greatest difficulty to find
a man to fill up his place. (Hear.) He thought, al-
though they should lose his services, that they
must all of them rejoice at the honour which it had
been the pleasure of her Majesty to eonfer upon Sir
B.i Hall. He had earned his high and distingnished
pogition, and his (Mr. D'lffanger's) earnest hope
%V s, that he might live many years to enjoy it.
He would say, in conclusion, that he hoped the
bokugh of Marylebone would be able to find an-
other representative who would pay the same at-
tention to their local as well as general interests as
the right hon. baronet had done. (Cheers.)
Mr. B. H. SMART having had the honour twice ,
to isecond the nomination of Sir B. Hall, once
when he stood with Sir Charles Napier and the
ot4er time when he Stood with Lord Dudley
Start felt proud and delighted to support this
re iolution

Sir JAMES HAMILTON said, having been twine
placed in a position of antagonism with Sir B.
Hall with regard to the representation of that
borough, it would be an ungenerous an ungracious
act on his part if he did not bear his willing testi-
mciny to the great courtesy, as well as the zeal and
ability with which that right hon. baronet had so
long represented the borough in Parliament. (Loud
cheers.) He (Sir James Hamilton) was not going
to affect so great a piece of humbug as to say that
he' accorded in the political sentiments of Sir B.
Hall—(hear, hear)—but he would say that he had
been a long-tried and most valuable representative.
(Cheers.) To expect that there was a chance of
any gentleman who possessed Conservative tenets
coming forward, or be likely to represent that
borough, he felt was out of the question, and there-
fore he could only express a hope that the borough
might be able to obtain for the future as good a
member as Sir Benjamin Hall. (Loud applause.)

Mr. HODGES observed he felt much pleasure in
saying that he most fully concurred in the motion
which had been proposed. (Cheers.) He would
bear his most willing testimony, with one excep-
tion, to the courteous manner in which Sir B. Hall
ever received deputations from his constituents.
(Hear.) The tact which he had always displayed
he would carry with him to the House of Peers, in
which no doubt he would prove himself a very
valuable and prominent member.
Mr. WEBB bore his testimony to the thorough
business habits of. Sir B. Hall as a member of Par-

liainent, and the resolution on being put was car-
ried unanimously, amidst loud acclamations.
• The RECTOR then moved that, on the arrival of
Sir B. Hall, the resolution of the board be read to
him by the chairman—that it be engrossed on
vellum, and subsequently be presented to the right
hon. baronet.
Professor MARKS seconded the motion, which
was also carried.

An application from a deputation of ratepayers
was made to be present in the body of the Court-
house, to hear the address of Sir B. Hall upon his
arrival, which was put and carried.
About one o'clock Mr. Edwin lames, the
borough member, entered the Court•house, and
was received with a round of cheering, and was
followed almost immediately by the Right Hon.
Sir Benjamin Hall (Lord Llanover), who was re-
ceived by the whole assembly, which was very
crowded, standing, and with cheering, which, hav-
ing subsided,
The CHAIRMAN read the resolution to the right
hon. baronet, which had been previously adopted by
the vestry.
Sir BENJAMIN HALL then addressed the meet-
ing. He said he felt deeply gratified by the reso-
lution they had passed ; and when he reflected that
it was the expression of feeling of a body in which
there were many gentlemen of political opinions
widely differing from his own, the resolution was
still more gratifying to him. He was grateful for
the support he had received during the long period
he had represented that borough in Parliament.
The right hon. baronet then said—After my long
connexion with the borough of Marylebone, it may
be expected that I should state generally the cir-
cumstances which have led to my retirement from
its representation. During the progress of the
formation of the new Administration Lord Palmer-
ston sent for me and expressed his regret that at
the present time he could not offer me a seat in the
Cabinet, but that he would not give the office of
First Commissioner of Public Works to any other
person, without placing iat my disposal ;
mind
that if, upon consideration I , should be of opo
that I could not, as a member of the House of
Commons, again accept that appointment, unac-
companied by a seat in the Cabinet, he was of
opinion that there should be some public recog-
nition of my services, and he proposed to submit
my name to the Queen for elevation to the peerage.
(Loud cheers.) He also said that my services would
still be of value. (Cheers.) I did consider that I
could not remain in the House of Commons, hold-
ing office, without a place in the Cabinet; and I
therefore accepted the seat in the House of Peers
which had been offered to me in so gratifying a
manner. (Cheers.) With regard to his public
life the right hon. baronet said he had represented
the borough of Marylebone for a period of 22 years.
When he first came forward, in Rm.
- I personally
unknown to the electors, although not publicly un-
known, for he had for some years previously been
member for Monmouth, and consequently his poli-
tical opinions were well known, he did so on a re-
quisition signed by 2,000 electors, requesting him
to come forward in the place of Mr. Henry Lytton
Bulwer. There weje then but 8,000 electors, and
having a requisition from one-fourth, he was in-
duced to comply—(hear, hear)—and he was returned
at the head of the poll. It was a remarkable fact
in the history of that borough, that no man, except
himself, had ever sat as its representative for two
entire Parliaments. Since he had been their mem-
ber he had had no less than six different colleagues.
The first was Sir Samuel Whalley, whose seat be-
came void for want of the property qualification.
Next came Lord Teignmouth, who only sat out the
remainder of the Parliament of 1837 ; Sir Charles
