The MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH FORE
sHADowED.-In Baily's Dictionary, edi-
ton of 1730-127 years ago-under the
word "Loadstone," is found the follow
ing foreshadowing of the Electric Tel
egraph:
"Some authors write that by the help
of the magnet or loadstone, persons
may communicate their minds to friend
at great distance; as suppose one to
be at London, and the other at Paris, il
each of them have a circular alphabet,
like dial plate of clock, and needle
touched with one magnet, then at the
same time the needle at London was
moved, that at Paris would move in like
manner provided each party had secret
notes for dividing words, and the obser-
walton was made at set hour, either Of
the day or the night and when one par
ty would inform the other of any mat
ter, he is to move the needle to those
letters that will form the words, that
will declare what he would have the 9th
er know, and the other needle will move
in the same manner. This NAV be
done reciproeally."

The BRITIsH EAST INDIA COMPANY.
The British East India Company has
dominion over realm covering mill
lilo IN and half of square miles, with
po pulation of upwards Of one hundred
and sixty millions. This vast empire
embraces every variety of soil and eli
mate, and its productions are varied and
valuable. The money capital of the
Company is 616,00O,0O0, or nearly
eighty millions of dollars, and its annual
revenues, which are annually increas=
ing, are estimated at one hundred and
thirty-fve millions. At the date of the
last report, the Company consisted of
1850 stockholders, privileged to meet in
general council. The holder of $4,000
of stock has one vote; Of $4,000 two;
of $4,000, three; and of $4,000, four;
provided always he has been in posses
sion Of the same twelve months. The
whole number Of votes at the present
time is estimated at about 1900. These
stockholders, thus qualified, meet once
in three months, in general council
They elect the court of directors and
board of control, in whom is vested tho
actual government of India.
The employees of. tho Company are
divided into five different class es-civil,
clerical, medical, military and naval
and comprise nine or ten thousand per-
sons. The Governor General receives
salary of $4,000, and his perquisites
are valued at 100000, yearly; the
members of the Governors council re-
ceive an annual salary of S4S, 900, the
bishops $4,000 to $4,000, the law
judges, thirty in number, $4,000, and
the collectors and magistrates Sc, 900 to
$4,000. OF the revenues of the East
India Company, the land tax is most
productive, yielding annually S75,OoO,-
600. Next in Importance are the reve-
nues derived from the opium trade,
which amount to S3O,OOO,OOo yearly.
The standing military force of the Com
pany is about three hundred thousand
men, Europeans and natives.
Although a vast and selfish MONOPOLY,
the East India Company has, in pursa=
ing its gigantic schemes of self-aggran-
dizement, accomplished great deal in
the way of developing the resources of
the country by building roads and con-
structing railways and magnetic tele-
graphs. Although mainly advantage
Gus to the Company, these and other
great improvements indirectly benefit
the native population by furnishing
them with the great levers of civiliza.

Walkers MS07ent Beharior on board
tie st. Marys-F'rom the moment Wal
kerwent on board the ST. Marys, his con-
duct was characterised by great inso-
lence to Commander Davis, who had
saved his life, and to all his officers with
whom he came in contact Com. Davis
kindly invited him to mess with him in
his cabin, which he did the whole voy-
age, but Walker became so insulting
that while the fllibusters were waiting
two or three days here, for the Aspin-
wall steamer, Com. Davis never visited
his own cabin except when he was oblig-
ed to communicate with his prisoner.
Com. Mervine. on Sunday, sent polite
message to Walker, asking him how
many of his officers were able and will
ling to pay their own expenses to the
United States, to which Walker replied
that "when he had need of an agent he
would appoint one" The Commodore
then sent for Henningsen, and put the
same question to him. He answered that
the question would be very delicate
one for him to propose TO his brother Of
ficers. Commodore Mervine responded:
We'll, Henningsen, as many of General
Walkers officers, including himself, as
hold his tone, will remain on board my
ship until go to California, when 1 will
take them there Upon this being re-
ported to Walker. he got down from his
high horse, and sent to Com Mervine to
say that himself and Henningsen would
pay their own passage, but he could say
nothing as to the others. Walker char
ges Com. Davis with having enticed his
men to desert and with unjustly deliv-
ering over the schooner Granada TO the
allies.

JENNY LIND COMING TO AMERICA

JENNY LIND COMING TO AMERICA
A correspondent of the Christian En-.
quirer writing from Vienna, says:
"While in Dresden we had the de-
lightful pleasure of seeing Jenny Lind
often in her domestic capacity of wife
and mother, and it is a great source OF
satisfaction to me to find her in those
most interesting relations of life as hap
Ply as it is possible to imagine She has
a fine boy three and a half years old.
Her voice is as excellent and touching
as ever; if anything, more so; and l
am glad to be able to say that we have
at least chance of hearing her again
in the United States, for she will proba-
bly, settle down, permanently, either in
England or in the United States, within
six months; and although l think that
she will prefer the former country, am
almost sure that she would in such case
visit US. as she has a great desire to re-
visit America, not for the sake of max
ing money, but because she likes the
country and the people. Still, if once
there, she will sing, for she must be
singing"

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON A
Malta paper says that some parts of Sic
lily have been lately visited by dreadful
tornadoes, which have caused consider
able damage to the plantations to the
westward Of the island, tea airing up trees
by the roots, and driving everything be-
fore them. In plantation of $4,000
olive trees, only a few dozens are re-
naming. A similar thing occurred at
our island on Friday last, between three
and four p NJ, at St. Antonio, Balkan,
Attard, and other places to the west
ward The atmosphere on a sudden
became obscured, and Immediately af
terward blew a perfect hurricane. Some
say it was the effect of water-spout.
Trees in ST. Antonio gardens and in the
vicinity were torn up by the roots. A
sentry in his box on guard at St. Anto-
Mo was carried away, box and all, which
hurt the man very much. 4 small child,
it is said, was actually borne away in
the village Of Attard, and, we believe
not vet heard of. Carts were literally
sent into the air. a large quantity of
barley prepared in a field for treading
out, was all swept away, and not grain
to be seen. Two massive iron bars of
the gate of St. Antonio were broken in
pieces; the gate was closed, but opened
by the force of the wind. The garden
of Mr.. Clincham adjoining st. Antonio
was completely destroyed; trees rooted
up, and others broken, about sixteen
large stone columns smashed to pieces,
and the garden strewed with straw and
bits of lavender, brought from some
distant place. We have not heard all
the particulars relating to this affair, but
we are given to understand the damages
to be much greater than what have
come to our knowledge. In parts of
the country rain had fallen in torrents,
which made the roads the following
morning in some parts impossible.

guage:

have but sea at foot in the perllous

flavor of his first wine is delicious as the
opening scenes of life, or the entering
upon stme newly discovered paradise;
look into my desolation, and be made to
understand what dreary thing it is
when man shall feel Himself gong
down precipice with open eyes and q
passive will-to see his destruction and
have no power to stop it, and yet feel it
all the way emanating from himself; to
Zee all goodness emptied out of him, and
yet not be able to forget time when it
was otherwise; to bear about the pite4
Gus spectacle Of his own ruin could he
see my fevered eye, feverish with last
nights drinking, and feverishly looking
for to-night's repetition OF the follys
could he but feel the body of the death
out Of which l cry hourly with feebler
cutlery to be delivered-it were enough
to make him dash the sparkling bever-
age to the earth in all the pride of it's

queer crowd upon the train, and the

motley mass was a seedy looking Dutch
man, who took a seat in front of us, and
we noticed as the collector of the tickets
and the ''rhino" approached, he twisted
about uneasily, and looked particular
nervous. At length the dreaded money

Fare, sir,' said he, extending his

feeling in his pockets. After much
fumbling, he pulled out suspicious
looking Spanish dollar and handed ii
over.
look here, my fine fellow said the
conductor, rubbing his thumb over the
coin, 'that won't DO with me- You
must pass off your bogus money on some

"Vot is de matter?' queried the

A REPORTERS ANEcDoTE OF Ma
CAULAY.-"At the annual anti-slavery
meeting, Il think of 1926 Mr.. Macau-
lay, whose fame as brilliant speaker
at the Union Society at Cambridge, and
a society of the same name in London,
had preceded him, delivered the first of
those brilliant orations with which the
country has been since delighted. AT
its close, told Mr.. Macauley that from
his rapid mode of speaking, and from so
much of the merit of the speech being
dependent on the accurate collocation
of the words in which his metaphors
and figures were expressed, it would be
only an act of justice to himself to fur
nish report of the speech.
At first he hesitated, and expressed
some doubt whether he could furnish
sufficiently ample notes for the purpose;
but he said he would ''think of it," on
my telling him, if he thought proper to
do so, | should pay due attention to the
notes, provided he forwarded them to
the Morning Chronicle Office by eight
O'Clock that evening. On coming to tue
office of the Morning Chronicle at that
hour, | found large packet containing
a verbatim report of the speech as
spoken-the brilliant passages marked
in pencil, and the whole manuscript we'll
thumbed over, furnishing manifest de-
notement that no speech in Enfeld's
speaker was more laboriously and faith
fully committed to schoolboy's memo
ry, than was his first essay in public
eloquence committed to memory by the
great historian of the age"

A Line of Steamers Betueen France

A Line Of Steamers Betyeen France
and observation-disclosures Wise, of Vir-
ginia, has been holding correspon-
dence with NJ. Laconture in reference
to line of steamships between France
and Virginia. Governor Wise estimates
the aggregate wealth of Virginia at
eight hundred millions of dollars. He
says if the French company will make
up a cargo of French goods for one
steamer, and give thirty days notice of
her arrival at Norfolk, the Virginia and
North Carolina merchants will purchase
the goods and have a return cargo of
their produce. If this one succeeds,
the French line to and from Norfolk
and Havana will be established. If
it must have aid by contribution it will
almost be sure to have mail contract
under appropriation by Congress; for
the southern States will no longer vote
for appropriations to any northern line
to carry European mails, unless equal
amounts are voted to one or more south
ern lines. He further proposes that il
European capitalists will bring THEN
funds to complete. the Kanawha Canal
and Covington and Ohio Railroad, he
will recommend to the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia to guarantee a stipulat-
ed interest of at least six per cent, and
the entire redemption of the debt in
thirty-four years, and an appropriation
from the State Treasury Of two hun
dred thousand dollars per annnm to aid
in sustaining a line of steamers of suf-
ticient class, or the Europeans to con-
struct the works, and take them for a
stipulated period of time.
