Mr.. Peabody, on the 22nd ultimo, gave q
grand entertainment to MIR. Mason, the un-
ted States Minister to France, who was for q
few days his guest at the Star aud Garter
Hotel. London. The number present was
about eighty, of whom two-tnirds consisted
or the principal Americans now in L,ndon.
The English visitors comprised the Lord
Mayor and Lady Mayoress; the Countess OF
Glasgow, whose father, Sir John Sinclair,
was close friend and correspondent Of Gen.
Washington; Lady Cbantrey, Sir Emmerson
Tennant, formerly Vice President of the
Board of Trade, Sir Joseph Paxton, &C.
Mr.. Mason produced most agreeable
impression, not only in his speech in re-
ply 10 the toast in bis honor, but by his
extreme tenevoeuce Of manner. MIR. Ken
needy. of Baltimore, proposed the health Of
the Lord Mayor, and the other speakers
were Sir E. Tenant. Mr.. Raymond OF New
York, and Gen. Campbell, the United St.tes
Consul at London. Previously to the din

SypttiiigO d Son.

A correspondent of the London Times re-
lstos the following story-if story it is-lo'
eating the parties in Vienna. Strange things
happen frequently in the "old country"
"A few days ago, Baron S,lberstein died
here, and after bis death no money was
found in bis house, though he had always
passed for wealthy man Inquiries were
made by his beir. and on its being discovered
that banker had paid into biz hands the
sum of 10000 forms but few days before
his death. his valet was arrested by police
man Oh suspicion Of having made way with
the money. AS the man said that his mas
ter LETT his bed couple of days before be
died. in order to burn some papers in the
stove, the bedroom was searched. Nothing
but the remains If documents we're found,
and the servant was kept in custody until it
occurred to some one that 1t might be ne well
to examine the other stoves. The examina'
ton was made, and the numerous remains
of bank notes Of 1000 forms each, proved
the innocence of the valet and destructive
meas Of bis master. The Baron, who WAS
divorced from his wife. often expressed
doubts about the legitimacy of hls only SOD;
and in order that he should profit as little as
possible by bis death, be burned bank notes
to the value OF 10000 forms (.ClG,2oOl--
When the door of the stove was opened, the
word Thousand" was distinctly visible on
many Of the consumed notes, which, OF
course, fell to pieces when touched"

Tn. "Gre., Achievement"

1t is peculiarly gratifying to Americans
that this gigantic enterprise was first con-
ceived iu this country. 1n spite OF all the
objections urged against it, small company
of New York capitalists perseVered with
determ inaton that was proof against all dis
enlargement About four years ago char
ter was obtained from the government OF
Newfoundland, granting tbem the exclusive
privilege for fifty years Of running tele-
graph through that island, and through
any OF the adjacent waters. An approprls-
ton OF sos. 900 for the construction of bril-
die path over the southern portion OF the
country was also secured, and the interest
on $3.50, 900 for twenty years, and present
of fifty square miles Of land, which the
company were allowed to select from any
portion of the island. With these aids, in
the latter part of 1856, complete communi-
cation was established between those points,
by the successful laying Of a submarine ca
BILE across the Gulf of st. Lawrence, from
Cape Ray to Cape North. the land limo hav-
iug been completed two or three years pre-
viously. By the agency of Mr.. Cyrus W..
Field. one of the company, the whole amount
