The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH ENTERPRISE.
Nearly nine hundred miles of the cable were
completed on the 18th Of June, and the ope-
ration Of transferring the coils to the hold
of the Agamemnon, was then about being
commenced. The London Times contradicts
the reports that the Niagara was untitled to
receive one-half of the cable manufactured
at Birkenhead. On the morning of the 9Th
inst, the Niagara left the Thames for Ports
mouth Backyard, where she will be arranged
for the reception Of the Liverpool portion Of
the WIRE ~t e... RI -. ~.
DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING. The St. Mary's
Beacon mentions several cases. A hand

same storm. Mr.. George Buckler's house
in the same neighborhood was also struck,
but we are pleased to learn, ne material in
jury was done. The schooner Olive Branch.
Capt. j. &. Lathrom, during the storm on
the 9th, was also struck by lightning whilst
laying off Forrestville, on the Patuxen1

CROPS in ST. MARY's CoUNrY.-Tle St.
Mary's Beacon has the following later ntel-
ligence in regard to the crops in that vi
cinity:
We are sorry to be obliged to chronicle
the continued depredations Of the army worm
in every section of our county. So devas-
tating have been the ravages of this worm
that in parts Of the county we have heard OF
the complete destruction of large fel(s of
wheat. Nor are, their attacks confnd to
the wheat, but corn, tobacco, timothy, nay,
every thing green, is seized upon with @idi-
ty by the Unsuitable depredators. some
farmers in this neighborhood have ALREADY
commenced cutting their timothy on this
account, though not more than half gr'wn,
upon the principle of ''half a loaf beingbet-
ter than no bread" The Charlotte Tall
and St. Inigoes districts, as far as wecan
learn. are the greatest sufferers as yet,
though the faces Of some of our farming
friends hereabouts are decidedly elongted
in view of the damage from this SQUIRE to
theis wheat, corn and grass crops. We
don't wish to be considered alarmists, but
really, what with the obstruction by ely
and the poor appearance presented by eight

DESTRUCTION TO THE Wharf.-The An
napolis Republican states that on South and
West rivers, and the Severn, in Anne Ar
undel county, the army worm swarms in
countless millions, destroying in their march
wheat, corn and grass. In Calvert county
their ravages are said to be equally destruc-
tive, leaving the farmers with gloomy pros
poets before them. pc. ....s.

: THE BURDEEL EsTATE.-From Perusal
OF the testimony given before the Surrogate
in relation to the disposition of the property
left by the late DR.. -Burdell. of New York,
we are satisfied of two things, says the
Clipper, viz:-That DR.. Burdell was not a
man whose example should be initiated =
and that Mrs. Cunningham was his wife.
We think that the fact Of his having married
her is conclusively proved. The theory that
Eckel was the man whom she married has
been overthrown by competent testimony
by witness who swears that he was in the
company of Eckel until late hour of the
night on which Mrs. G. was married. No
thing. so far, has been proved against Eckel,
and he should be acquitted by public opin-
ion of all connection with the murder. The
estate will probably be decreed to Mrs. Cum
ningham. @3 .--,-.es 81. s,at. -.

GREAT HAIL STORM. Sunday after
noon last most terrific thunder storm pass
ed over Washington city. Hail also fell for
some ten or fifteen minutes with great force.
The stones were of enormous size, some
weighing FIVE or six ounces, doing immense
destruction to skylights. and windows Of
churches, and other public and private build
ings, the government Conservatives, etc.
Several private galleries of art are also Sc
riously damaged. $780,.
The trees were half stripped Of their foil
age and the grain, vegetables and shrubbery
beat to the earth In some cases horses and
COWS were severely cut by the hail. The
storm appeared to have extended over a
breadth of some twelve miles. Its course
was about southwest to northeast. We
have no reports from the plantations, but
the crops are no doubt greatly injured.

FIRE AT CAPE MAYA serious fire &C.
Cured at Cape May on the night of the 18th,
destroying the Mansion House and the Kur-
saal. Two small houses were also consum-
ed. The neighboring hotels escaped. The
Mansion House was one Of the oldest estab-
lishments on the island, and was for many
years occupied by Col. Ludlam. The Kur-
saal was located Immediately in the rear,
and was used generally for balls and con-
certs. Cape May has been rather unfortu-
nate within the last year. The destruction
of the Mount Vernon House took place sew.
eral months ago, and now a similar calami-
ty has happened to the Mansion House, thus
greatly restricting the hotel accommodations
at this favorite seaside resort. There are,
however, still enough left to comfortably
lodge several thousand visiters
