Friday last, 10th, on board her Majesty's ship
Agamemnon, in keyham Basin. An extra place
for deposit has been constructed her upper deck
abait the foremast, capable of taking 18th miles
each flake or layer. Here about l40 miles de-
posted up to yesterday. Thursday evening, al
an average Of y miles day 1t will contain
together 260 miles, which forms the first por.
ton to be laid. The place of deposit last
year, in the hold, made the coil oval in
one direction close to the kelson, and oval in
the opposite direction above A different arrange
mcnt prevails now; two additional bulkheads have
been knocked away, and the hold presents the
appearance of basin perfectly circular in every
part. The cone in the centre is u feet inches
high and has diameter of 10 feet at the base and
feet at the top; it will be encircled by 1850 miles of
cable. The remaining $50 miles are to be coiled on
the orlOp deck, where the heavy shore end was
placed last year. a new guard has been fitted for
the AgamemnOn s stern, to prevent the cable from
touling the propeller. The cage previously used
was weakened by its proximity to the copper on the
ships bottom which served as negative to the iron
The galvanc action of salt water on it during the
last eight months has rendered it desirable to pro-
vide new one, which will not touch the surface
until lead line is reached. On board the Niagara

moved, space prepared of 33 feet in diameter
equal to the reception of from $50 to 100 miles OF
cable. For the approaching trial the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company appear to have made very complete
arrangements through their engineer-in-chief, Mr..
Bright who has been some days at Plymouth.
The London JiorRing Herald of March 25th, SAYS:
''W sorry to learn that the youthful and only
daughter of wealthy commoner, and niece of a
noble earl, has, within the last n hours eopcd with
a nobleman holding prominent position in society,
and whose name is as familiar as household words
to readers from having repeatedly appeared be-
fore the public The nobleman alluded to is, we
regret to say, married man. but for some years he
has been estranged from his wife, who, we believe
is now residing abroad 1t is presumed the guilty
couple have fled to the continent, as they were
traced to Dover yesterday afternoon"
This Thursday morning, Watt, the engineer on
board the Cagliari at the time of her capture, and
so long ncarcerated in the prisons of the Neapoli
tan Government, arrived in London by train from
Dover and was gladly welcomed by his friends,
who had been in waiting for him.

THE NIAGARA'S ARRIVAL AT PLYMOUTH.
This splendid vessel returned to Plymouth on
Monday evening from the United States, and an
chored in the Sound on Tuesday morning. She left
New ork on the 9th inst, and has experienced
very heavy southerly gales during her passage
across the Atlantic On several occasions the YES
sci logged over 300 miles in % hours. Both steam
and sail were used on the voyage, and the vessel
made some excellent runs. Her arrival was de-
layed, however, from the quality of the coal used
being unsuitable to the furnaces clOgging the ues
and rendering frequent stOppages necessary in order
to clean them. Since the Niagara last left Ply
mouth no alterations have been made in her internal
arrangements for the reception and stowage of the
electric cable.

MIR. ALLSOP's OFFER TO STAND HIS TRIAL.
We have been informed, on good authority, that
Mr.. Allsop has offered to surrender himself for trial
If the Government will guarantee his expenses. The
part taken by this gentleman in the recent Partisan
tragedy has been entirely msconstrued by the pub
lie. He ordered the grenades of Mr.. Taylor under
the impression that they were to be used in egit-
mate warfare, or in so near an approach to it an
lnsurrectonary struggle might be considered. Mr..
Allsop's impression that the grenades were for
the service of the national party in Italy.
lie had no idea that assassination contem-
plated by his colleagues, that the Emperor of
France was the person against whom their measures
establish his innocence of the charge under which
DR.. Bernard is awaiting trial. that the above
mentioned offer has been made with the condition
stated. Mr.. Alsop is not in position to encoun-
ter the expenses Of State trial, in which he could
not recover costs if the suit went in his favor
When we hear that f20, ,000 has been spent by one
side only on the British Bank trial, we can form an
idea OF what Il man has to encounter in the way of
costs when he enters into legal conflict with the
Government. As Mr.. Allsop is at present in a
place of safety he is not likely to rush voluntarily
into so ruinous an engagement. But we believe he
is quite ready to surrender and take his trial. if he
can be insured against pecuniary injury in he
satisfies the country of his innocence We shall see
whether the offer is accepted.

REPORTED ARREST OF ALLSOP.
a man, supposed to be Allsop, who stands charg-
ed with having been one of the conspirators to
aSsassinate the Emperor Of the French, arrest
ed at keadue, on Thursday last, by Mr.. William
Frazer, architect of that place. The person so
charged was handed over to the police, who at
once brought him before F. X. Tension, ESQ.,, Lord
Lieutenant of the county, and }. Il. Little, j. p.
and we have heard on examination, the prisoner not
having satisfactorily accounted for himself, was re-
manded to the of the police for further inquiry.
The man appears to have been in some respectable
position: his person corresponds exactly with the
description given of Allsop.
LORD PALMERSroN AND THE DERBY GOVERNMENT
"A reply to the Tiverton address. which was
forwarded to his LOrdship fortnight since, has
been received from Lord Palmerston He thanks
his constituents for entertaining favorable an
opinion of his conduct while at the head of affairs,
and adds that he cares not on which side of the
House he sits if the present ministry adopt the
ures and carry out the intentions of their i'm
mediate predecessors. He intimates his intention
not to give the Derby government unnecessary
trouble.
On Tuesday Mr.. Roebuck gave notice of motion
which it was thought would cause no ordinary stir
when the affair to which it related comes before the
House. \ bill has been introduced for dsfranchi-
sing the freemen of Galway because of their noto-
riOus and uniform corruption. When debate took
place on the introduction of this bill, Sir Thomas
Burke, with the greatest imaginable cooness, rose
and stated how he succeeded in eecting the return
of his relative, Lord Dunkeen, by the payment of
Il
he would move that the seat of Lord Dunkellen be
declared vacant, and that Sir Thomas Burke be ex-
PEELED the House.
In the House of Commons, the Chancellor of the
EXchequer brought forward the Indian bill, which,
in some respects, resembles the measure intro
duced by the late Government, and in other es-
sentials appears to be decided Improvement.
The number of the Council, for example, fixed in
Lord Palmerston's scheme at eight is to be raised
to eighteen nine to be nominated and nine to be
elected. of the nine elective members, four are
to be returned by constituency interested in In
dian stock, or having practical acquaintance with
India by residence; the five remaining members
are to be returned by the Parliamentary cOnstitu-
encies of London, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow,
and Belfast. This change cannot fail to greatly
popularize the new scheme, which was approved OF
by Lord Palmerston, and likely to become law,
and which occupied large share of attention last
evening.
