TO THE EDITOR OF THB SUN.

SlR,—Many people are dissatisfied with the word
newly invented by the Foreign•Ofce, tel9gram ; and I
think upon good grounds. It is deficient in strength.
You cannot get a hold of it to g ve it a "hirst" with the
voice. How inferior is it to its predecessor, " telegraphic
dispatch," in this respect ! How inferior to mast of
*Jur English words ! It belongs to the race of the mono•
grams, anagrams, epigrams, &c., all weakly words, be-
cause they won't take a good stout accent. But look at
epigrammatic point. What a forcible expression this is !
Why! Because you have the accent. I think this is
the hidden cause of the dislike to our new friend Tele-

gram.
Will you alllw me to introduce to you a stouter gen.
tleman, who will stand more wind. It is my friend
Telemyth. The th, will bear any distension of the voice
You will then have, instead of " a writing from a dis-
tance," "a word from a distance." You have here a
word of pure Greek origin (TEXec, end, or distance; and
,uvOog, word), and a forotbili expression, like all our
words that end in th, as pith, wrath, oath, truth, death.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Ascog, Oct. 19. LINGUA FORTIS.

(From Punch )
Here is a bother, here's a to-do,
About using one letter instead of two !
And why are the Greeks to teach us to call
A thing the spalpeens niver heard of at all I
(Unless you suppose the spark in the wire
Was known to them by the name of Greek Fire).
End it with Phi, or end it with Mu,
What does it signify which you do ?
End it with Mu, or end it with Phi,
The point's not worth, a potaty's eye.
Contemn such ulthrapedantic appeals,
And put your shoulders to these two wheels :
Reduce the charge, which now is plundering,
And teach the clerk to spell without blundering.

were put up for sale in the City of Cork by order of
the Commissioners. The property, consisting of
the demesne lands of Lots, Lotamere, &c., situate
amid some of the most beautiful scenery on the
banks of the Lee, produced 23,625/. five lots only
were disposed of, the amount realised by their sale
being sufficient to discharge all the encumbrances
on the estate. The Lew petitions in the Encum-
bered Court embrace property to the extent of about
11,0001. per annum. The Earl of Kenmore is a
petitioner for the sale of his estates in Carlow, Kil-

THE BANK OF ENGLAND RETURNS

Each day now furnishes to the financial world an
illustration of the way in which they strive for dis-
tant facilities and neglect those at their door. If
the Atlantic telegraph were in operation, what
would be the first messages sought ? The state of
the bullion in the banks on both sides. But as r, -
gards the Bank of England we have the power to
get the information, and permit it to be kept back
until, practically, it is useless. All the calculations
of our merchants andmanufactuters should be made
with reference to the probable movements of the
money-market, yet it is only after a lapse of seven
days that they become acquainted with each return
of the Bank of England on which those movement,
depend. While every effort is made to develop,
at any cost the system of instantaneous communi-
cation through all regions of the globe, a kn:owled.p
of the few figures upon which more than anything
else our commercialjudgments should be formed h
allowed week by week to be withheld, although the
very object of providing for their publication
was that they might serve as the speediest
signals to check all imprudent action. But,
objectionable and ridiculous as the case thus
appears, it does not end here. Although the go-
vernors and directors as a body use efforts to
prevent those figures which they withhold from the
public from transpiring for the banefit of individual
speculators, it is notorious that absolute secrecy is
not preserved. Even if there could be any plea for
the concealment they profess to regard as desirable,
it would thus be cut away. Indeed, in proportion
as theyassert the necessity for it they condemntbeir
own laxity, which renders it unattainable. The
management of the Bank during the last six or
seven years has been in all essential respects so
sound and so honourable to the country that it is
disagreeable to have to enlarge upon the disregard
of the interests and just rights of the commercial
community manifested on this point. Some montli;
back, when public attention was greatly aroused
to it, there was a belief that arrangements would be
made to enable the publication of the returns to
take place in the Gazette of Tuesday instead of
Friday, or, at all events, that they should be
publicly posted at the Bank on the morning of
Wednesday. The intention, however, seems tl
have been allowed to drop. It is to be hoped it
still exists, and that the delay in its fulfilment has
been but accidental.—Times.

A DEATII-BED SCENE.
London, England, 1857-10-21

THE IIV:DIAN MUTINIES.

The fallowing are extracts from a letter dated
Allahabad, Sept. 6
:
" General Oatram's forces marched into two columns,
The first,
of 683 men, left this yesterday (sth) at one
o'clock. The sennd, also of 630 men, marched with the
General at 10 o'clock last night. The alvance column
it is intended should rea,ch.esernpore on the 10th inst.,
and the General on the 11th of Sept., and if General
Havelock Las by that time
managed the crossing, the
whole force will at once mono on to Lucknow, and the
place has every chance of being relieved by the 15th or
16th, and, even allowing for delay in the crossing by the
20th. Tho rivers litre :11 fallen wonderfully, the Jumna
laving gone down 30 feet in a week ; this will help the
crossing greatly, and enable us to act on the enemy's
flanks advantageously
on the march to Lucknow, which
could not be done at the tiros of the previous advance
owing to the whole country being under water. We
have informs' ion that the Lucknow garrison have pro-
visions to last them until she 20th inst. Gen. Outram
has taken some heavy guns drawn by elephants."
In another letter it is mentioned that Mr. Co'xin
is prepared to aid a column advancing on Delhi
with camels and other carriage as they approach
Agra. At Meerut they have also collected car-
riage to some extent. The sth and 90th are armed
with Enfield rifles.

In another letter, dated the `9th of August,
writes from Allababad

We have sent on 400 men this Week to Cawapore
by train (40 miles), and the sick and wounded men of
General Ravel' ck's force are now on their way here,
and will come in the last 40 miles by railway."
It appears from the above cxtracti that in addi-
tion to the two columns of Outram'a force of
683 + 680=1,363; a detachment of 400 men had
preceded him, which would give a total reinforce-
ment of 1,763.

HER A AJES2 S T.II I? AT RE.

Last evening leTadlle, Piceelotniei and Signer Giuglini
appeared for the first time as Lecia and Eigerdo, in
Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor," •.-hich had not
been performed for some years at llor MajeAy's Theatre.
The house was crowded to the ceiling, as on the famous
"Jenny Lind nights" of old, and its general aspect was,
as may be well imagined, the intrinsic sp:endour of the
vast salle cansidered, really imposing and magnificent.
Tire anticipationsexcited by the announcement of Madlle.
Piccolomini for the ill-starred heroine of Sir Walter
Scott's novel were very great, and anything less than a
triumplient re,ul, would have been a disappointment.
Fortunately, however, the gifted young artiste was fully
equal to the "situation;" and if we mavjudge by the over-
whelming n pplause bestowed upon her from first to last,
she must have more than satisfied the reason, senti-
ment, and imeginae ion of her audience—which, it should
be remembered, was one of the most numerous and
critical ever assembled within the walls of a theatre.
Signor Giuglini, though nut in the best possiule voice,
fully sustained the great reputation he has gained with
such unprecedented rapidity in this country, and fairly
shared the honours of the evening with his fair compa-
nion. The claims to unqualified eulogy of that most ad-
mirable artist, Signor Belletti, who personated Enrico,
mot also be duly acknowledged in recording the general
success to which his abilities so largely contributed.
Piccolomini and Signor Giugl;ni, however, were
the " bzigt:t, particular stars," and theirs were the
efforts which created a furore, such as we have rarely
witnessed even in Italy, where people are addicted to
excessive demonstrations of delight, and where these are
consequently less significant and valuable,

Country Markets.

DERBY SIWITHFIELD.—MAY 5.
There was a good supply of fat beasts to-day from the
North of Engbni, Rotherham, and Liverpool markets;
Ley. the best quality was in good request, and yet a few were
left unsold. The number of sheep was large, the greater
part being without their wool ; the demand was rather flat
in the earlier part of the day. The supply of fat and
36 store calves was large, and in request. Fat pigs scarce,
and higher in price.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The return of that accomplished and popular vocalist,
Madame Bosio, h:si, for the last few years, been looked
forward to as a special event in the season of
ne Royal Italian Opera. Gilda, in " Rigolette,"
is one of Madame Bosio's most finished perform-
ances. She sings the music to perfection : every
note has its force and meaning, and her ornaments are
always tasteful and elegant. Her acting is full of par-
pose and intelligence ; and, in brief, we question if Verdi
Kimself has seen so efficient a representative of the he-
roine cf his opera. Madame Basin last night appeared
in that part, and was received with the warmth due to
so distinguished a favourite. She was in her best voice,
and sang as charmingly as ever. Signor Mario, who had
reserved himself from the preceding Saturday. sang most
delightfully, and acted the part of the roué duke with
consummate ease and grace. Signor Ronconi appears
to the greatest possible advantage as the court jester,
and his last scene is a most powerful exhibition Of disap-
pointed revenge and overwhelming sorrow. The parts
of Sparafucile and Madalena, as before, were assigned
to Sig. Tagliafico and Mdmo. Nantier Didree, and could
hardly be played with greater effect. The lady's one
scene is admirable. "Ls TraViata " will be given on
Thursday next, with Madame Bosio and Mario.

SPAIN.

The Madrid papers of the 3d discuss at some
length the recently discovered conspiracy, but
t. !ley contain nothing new about it, except that
its headquarters weie at Lisbon, and that it Was
neither exclusively Carlist nor republican, but a
mixture of both. At Granada, strong patrols c!f
cavalry were parading the streets,) and other nub-
tlry precautions were being enforced ; the cause of
the apprehended disturbances in that place wag not
the con T-racy in question, but the dearness of food.
It is said ti,at numerous Carlis's, in virtue
recut amnesty, are returning to Spain. A treaty
has jus.. been signed between Spain and the Argen-
tine confederation concerning consular reg,ulatv:ng;

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1857.

Yesterday the new Parliamentary session was
briefly but formally inaugurated. The Political
Bill of Fare furnished by Ministers in the
Royal Speech—as usual—was one of the meagerest
description. Consolidation and improvement of
the law—modifications of the testamentary and
matrimonial jurisdiction exercised by the Ecclesias-
tical Courts—prevention of fraudulent breaches
of trust Voila tout ! After the magnificent
Response given to his Appeal by the constituencies
—thus much, and only thus much, is yet vouch-
safed in return by Lord PALMERSTON. These
3 little peddling promises of something like a
change for the better—as a reciprocation, for-
sooth, of benefit to the Country, in reply t 3 the
noble majority sent by it to the new House of
Commons—a clear majority of 100 Liberal Pal-
merstoniaus ! A ha'porth of bread for all this
sack ! It rests entirely with Lord PALMERSTON
himself, at the present moment, whether the sack
hereafter to be given to him shall be of a very
different description indeed ! Parliamentary
Reform-•—he told the house this distinctly last
evening--" it would be highly inexpedient" to
enter upon during the present session ! He in-
sisted that it must be postponed. He maintained
that nothing at all could be done with it in 1857
—that, at the very earliest, 1858 must witness its
ventilation in the Legislature. And who upon
earth did Lord PALMERSTON take his cue from
upon this vital question ?—from whom but my
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR ! As if he, of all the
Sages within the walls of Parliament, were the fit-
test personage to be accepted as the Arbitrer of the
political Destinies of the whole population ! Upon
this subject—the subject of Reform—he, the
Prime Minister of England " quite concurred"
with his noble friend—.the bungling and fanatical
Sabbatarian Nay—the Premier not by any
means contenting himself with this (as if remarks
like those were not sufficiently flippant for the
occasion) added, a little later on—" If the House
has Confidence in Her MAJESTY'S Government, it
is for them now to exercise this forbearance, and
not force the Government to declare themselves on
particular points : BUT [Observe this l] If the
House is not willing to wait till next session it had
better say so, and let some one else be put in
office who would do it earlier." (Laughter [of
course !] and Cheers.) Precisely—inauy a true
word spoken in jest, Lord PALMERSTON. It had
much better, the House had nautili better, as the
Prime Minister good humouredly suggests, say so
at once—declare at once, and that, moreover, as
distinctly as possible, whether it is really pre-
pared or not to wait meekly in the dark until

CORN EXCHANGE.
Fresh up, to-day, the receipts of English wheat were
again very moderate. The attendance of buyers was far
from numerous, yet the demand for all kinds of wheat of
home produce ruled steady, and Monday's prices were well
supported. _

The imports of foreign wheat are only 520 quarters.
That article was firm in price; bat the business doing in
it was by no means extensive.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded full currencies.
The supply o barley was limited, and the trade ruled
steady, at very full prices. -
Malt—the show of which was only moderate—moved off
slowly, at late rates.
Oats were rather dearer than on Monday, ani the value
of beans, peas, and flour was well supported.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The show of beasts in to-day's market was only moderato,
yet the demand for most breeds ruledinactive, at Monday's
quotations. We were fairly supplied with sheep. which
ved off slowly, at the 1 .te &cline in value. Lambs were
rather dull, at from 5s 6d to 63 41 per Blbs. About 301
came to hand from the Isle of Wight. We had an im-
proved inquiry for calves, at full quotations; but pigs and
mulch cows commanded very little attention.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The return of that accomplished and popular vocalist,
IVlAdAtue Bosco, h s, for the last few years, been lioked
forward to as a special event in the season of
the Royal Itelian Opera. Gilds, in " Rigoletto,"
is one of Madame Bosio's most finished perform-
ances. She sings the music to perfection : every
note has its force and meaning, and her ornaments are
always tasteful and elegant. Her acting is full of pur-
pose and intelligence ; and, in brief, we question if Verdi
6itnself has seen so efficient a representative of the he-
roine of bis opera. Madame Basic, last night appeared
in that part, and was received with the warmth due to
so distinguished a favourite. She was in her best voice,
and sang as charmingly as ever. Signor Mario, who had
reserved himself from the preceding Saturday, sang most
delightfully, and acted the part of the roue duke with
e,msurninate ease and grace. Signor Roeconi appears
to the greatest possible advantage as the court jester,
and his last scene is a most powerful exhibition of disap-
pointed revenge and overwhelming sorrow. The parts
of Sparafucile and Madalena, as before, were assigned
to Sig. Tagliafico and Mdme. Nantier Didiee, and could
hardly be played with greater effect. The lady's one
scene is admirable. "La Traviata " will be given on
Thursday next, with Madame Bos) and Mario.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1857.

Yesterday the new Parliamentary session was
briefly but formally inaugurated. The Political
Bill of Fare furnished by Ministers in the
Royal Speech—as usual—was one of the meagerest
description. Consolidation and improvement of
the law—modifications of the testamentary and
matrimonial jurisdiction exercised by the Ecclesias-
tical Courts—prevention of fraudulent breaches
of trust Voila tout After the magnificent
Response given to his Appeal by the constituencies
—thus much, and only thus much, is yet vouch-
safed in return by Lord PALMERSTON. These
3 little peddling promises of something like a
change for the better—as a reciprocation, for-
sooth, of benefit to the Country, in reply to the
noble majority sent by it to the new House of
Commons—a clear majority of 100 Liberal Pal-
mei stonians A ha'porth of bread for all this
sack ! It rests entirely with Lord PALMERSTON
himself, at the present moment, whether the sack
hereafter to be given to him shall be of a very
different description indeed ! Parliamentary
Reform—he told the house this distinctly last
evening—" it would be highly inexpedient" to
enter upon during the present session ! He in-
sisted that it must be postponed. He maintained
that nothing at all could be done with it in 1857
—that, at the very earliest, 1858 must witness its
ventilation in the Legislature. And who upon
earth did Lord PALMERSTON take his cue from
upon this vital question ?—from whom but my
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR ! As if he, of all the
Sages within the walls of Parliament, were the fit-
test personage to be accepted as the Arbitrer of the
political Destinies of the whole population I Upon
this subject—the subject of Reform—he, the
Primo Minister of England " quite concurred"
with his noble friend—the bungling and fanatical
Sabbatarian ! Nay—the Premier not by any
means contenting himself with this (as if remarks
like tho3e were not sufficiently flippant for the
occasion) added, a little later on—" If the House
has Confidence in Her MAJESTY'S Government, it
is for them now to exercise this forbearance, and
not force the Government to declare themselves on
particular points : BUT [Observe this I] If the
House is not willing to wait till next session it hail
better say so, and let some one else be put in
office who would do it earlier." (Laughter [of
Precisely—_many a true
course !] and Cheers.)
word spoken in jest, Lord PALMERSTON. It had
much better, the House had much better, as the
Prime Minister good humouredly suggests, say so
at once—declare at once, and that, moreover, as
distinctly as possible, whether it is really pre-
pared or not to wail meekly in the dark until

GREAT BOAT RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

OP THE THAMES AND £4OO.
The great aquatic event on the tapis is the expected
race between Messenger and Kelly for the Cham-
pionship of the Thames and 4001. The stakes have been
completed ; and at a meeting held on Wednesday night,
at Mr- Salter's, the Feathers Tavern, Wandsworth, urn-
Pl:es were duly chosen on either side. The present
wilder of the championship—Messenger—is a waterline
at Teddington ; his opponent in the present match fol-
lows the same occupation at Fulham. Both of them are
fine young men, very evenly matched in weight. Mes-
senger is avowedly a moat finished sculler, his style being
the very Ile plus ultra of perfection ; but Kelly is
‘lightly the favourite. The distance over which they are
t coctend is from Putney to the Ship, at Mortlake, and
the time, Tuesday afternoon next, at about 4 o'clock.
Messrs. Searle have chartered a fast steamer for the
conveyance of the elite of the Thames. Mr. R. Main hag
also chartered the Citizen K steamboat. He ha; like-
wise just finished a beautiful set of sculls for Kelly's use
on the occasion. They are on the same principle as
those made by Mr. Bain for Kelly when he beat Buttle
at Norwich. Messenger is training at Biffen's, at Ham-
mersmith ; Kelly at Salter's, Wandsworth. Bith men
are in very fine condition.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
The schooner races of this distinguished club are to
take place on Friday, the 19[1 of June, instead of Satur-
day, the 20th, as previously arranged, owing to the im-
possibility of procuring a steamer on the latter day suffi-
ciently large for the requirements of the club. The race
will terminate at Greenhithe instead of Rosherville.

The funds opened with increased firmness this morn-
ing, but subsequently experienced seine rather violent
fluctuations, owing to a measure adopted by the Bank,
which seemed for a time to be greatly misapprehended.
This was a refusal to continue making advances on
Government securities. Upon its announcement it was
construed as a sign that, instead of the resources of that
establishment having improved, an increased pressure
was apprehended, and Consols experienced an immediate
fall of a.half per cent. Ultimately the grounds of the
decieion and its really unimportant character became
better understood, and a partial rally took place. It
appears that loans on stock which were made during the
last shutting, and should have been paid off at the be-
ginning of April, had been renewed from time to time,
first for a fortnight, and next at intervals of seven
days, until the present date, and that, having at
last dwindled to a comparatively small amount, it
was considered that the time had arrived for them
to be closed, especially as the money market was
assuming a better appearance, and there was no plea
for continuing exceptional aid. The parties, how-
ever, had relied upon again procuring a renewal, and
insignificant as was the total required, the sudden
refusal compelled them to offer any terms for it in other
quarters. At the same time, the motives of the Bank
were adroitly represented in an alarming light by ad.
verse speculators, and the entire affair having occurred
in the midst of the Consuls settlement, while many pur-
&ewers were anxious to carry forward their operations
to the account oa the 4th of June, an unusual degree of
confusion and eireeitement was created. Perhaps it is to
be regretted that the renewal had not been declined im-
mediately after the payment of the dividends, when, as
the Bank do not hold themselves bound to make ad-
vances on stock, no one could have complained of hav-
ing been taken by surprise ; but the non adoption of
this course was caused, most likely, by a desire to avoid
creating needless inconvenience, and in the belief that
by increasing the charge, and gradually contracting the
periods, ample warning would be afforded that they
were not to be indefinitely continued. Under the cir-
cumstances, therefore, the only ground for complaint is
that the notification was nit made before the commence-
ment of business, or that, to avert the mischief uninten-
tionally inflicted, the loans were not continued for a few
days longer, with a positive intimation that they must
then be finally met.—Tintes' City Article.
