THE MEDITERRANEAN TELEGRAPH
On the 10th of September, says the Lon
den Star, intelligence reached town OF the
successful submergence of the cable in the
Mediterranean, and it now unites in in
Simultaneous intercourse England and Eu-
rope with Africa The expedition started
from Cagliari, on the Sandman coast, with
the cable in the hold of the Elba, and be-
gan paying it out, commencing from the
African coast from Bona, on the Algerine
frontier Preliminary operations were
commenced on Monday, and the center
cable submerged and communication eff
fected with either coast on Wednesday
evening. The distance between Caglia-
ri and Bona is $50 miles-an island of
rocks, called Galetta only intervening
short way from the African coast. The
weight of the cable in the former expert
ment that failed was at the rate of eight
tons to the mile; whereas the weight of
the cable, now so successfully submerg-
ed, has been reduced to u tons to tho
mile, or about equal to that of the Allan
tic cable, and this, added to the perfec-
ton of the machinery for paying out and
the skill of the engineering manipulation,
tended greatly to facilitate the operation
under circumstances Of much physical
difficulty, since it was fonnd from the
survey and soundings made by engineer
Delmarche, of the Tartarus, that the pla-
teau of the Mediterranean presented
depths and inequalities in the compare
lively short distanc of $50 miles, as forni-
dable to be mastered as any in the At
lantic. Every assistance was afforded by
the French and Sandman Governments
to the company who have an exclusive
privilege granted them for fifty years by
the two Governments-the French Gov
eminent giving guarantee interest of
per cent on $4,000, and the Sandman
s per cent on 100000 About one
half the quantity Of cable required to
extend the Mediterranean telegraph
from Sardinia to Malta, and from Malta
to Corfu, is manufactured; and as soon as
the other halfis ready these places will be
brought into the range photographic con-
nection with England and the continent.

AN ONO ELoPEMENT.-Quite an excl
tement was created at London on Tues
day, dy the appearance there off we'll
dressed negro having in company with
him genteel appearing, but simple-act-
ing and evidently weak-minded white girl.
From the facts subsequently gathered, it
seems that both resided at Morrow, and
that the negro had induced the girl to run
away with him, and she had left her faith
er's home to follow the fortunes of her
ebony admirer
The couple arrived at London on the
evening train, and rode up in an omnibus to
the hotel, but on arriving there, the land
lord took the girl into the house, but re-
fused to permit the negro to stop, and
therefore turned him out By this time
a considerable crowd had gathered about,
and the negro, fearing personal violence,
took himself off to another part of the
town.
The girl seemed infatuated with her ne
gro lover, and expressed wish to cling
to him; but the negro, fearing he might
be mobbed if he persisted in taking the
girl with him, advised her to stay at the
hotel, which she did through the night. The
pair had not yet been married, but it was
their intention to call in the aid of a
Justice at London, when the "consumma-
ties devoutly to be wished. was interfer-
cd with by the people of the town. The
girl was to be sent back to her friends yes
terday. She is represented to us as come
ly in appearance, genteelly dressed, and
though not intelligent, exhibited fair qua
ities of mind, yet not of the strongest
character Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. 29th,

The Evenings.

In the summer evenings
When the wind blew low,
And the skies were radiant
With the sunset glow,
Thou and | were happy
Long, long years ago.
Love, the young and hopeful,
lowered DER us twain,
Filled us with sad pleasure
And delicious pain,
In the summer evenings
Wandering in the lane,
In the winter evenings
When the wild winds roar,
clustering at the chimney,
Piping at the door,
Thou and | are happy,
AS in days of yore.
Love still hovers DER us,
ROBBED in white attire,
Drawing heavenly music
From an earthly Tyre,
In the winter evenings
Sitting by the fire.
