CYRUS W. FIELD.-The New York Tribune
thus sketches the connection of Mr.. Field with
the Atlantic telegraph:
ut is now some four or five years since MI
Field undertook the magnificent enterprise which
has rendered his name illustrious 1t had been
previously some four or five years in the hands of
a company which made very little headway-bad
IN fact accomplished little, and were making no
progress That company might by this time have
achieved connection with Newfoundland, but
we doubt it. Mr.. Field at once addressed him
self TO some of our most liberal capitalists. and
induced four OF them to unite with him in the
undertaking. The moment the papers were sign
ed, each of the five drew his check for 30 900
making up purse of $4,000 to form the nest
egg OF the enteraIise. From that hour to the
present, Mr.. Field has given all his energies and
means to the Atlantic telegraph. He first visited
Newfoundland and obtained from its government
the necessary concessions and privileges the
next step was to form a Geographic connection
with that island across the bosterous Gulf of ST.
Lawrence; then to secure the cooperation of
English capitalists finally, the support Of the
two governments; and now he was ready to
commence the great work of preparing three
thousand miles of cable to be laid or lost between
newfoundland and Ireland. Step by step, Mr..
Field has proceeded in his great enterprise, ably
seconded, of course, on both sides of the ocean
but he has been the undaunted, indefatigabe. an.
lmatlns master-sprit of the work on both CONT
nents, on the ocean, and from first to last. And
the civilized world will this time take care that
no plausible American shall despoil the Coum.
o1s Of ocean telegraphing OF his noble and hardly
worn honors."

YOU'VE LADIES BOARDING SCHOOL, PRovI-
DENoE-This school, whose advertisement ap-
pears in another column, is under the care of
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Buel, returned missionaries
from Greece. The superior excellence of this
school for thoroughness Of instruction, and for
the unusual facilities it affords to young ladies
seeking the culture and refinement of finished
education, is most heartily endorsed by those
gentlemen to whom reference is made. The
board of teachers, eight in number embraces
those who have had large experience in teaching,
and whose eminent qualifications need only to be
known to be appreciated A young lady, enter
ing this school, will be placed at once amid infu-
snces which must tend to develope all her mental
powers in the highest degree: and, being sur
rounded by those whose tastes and sympathies
have received the best culture, she will necessa.
rily acquire a refinement of character and man
ners, such as it would be difficult to obtain in
school differently constituted. The family of
Mr.. Buel we know to be pre- emnently home
for any pupil who enters it, and parents may RELY
upon all the attention and watchful care over
their daughters, which they would need at their
own fresides. We can, therefore, with the ut
most cheerfulness, commend this school to pa.
rents, as one, the advantages of which. in every
respect, are not surpassed by any school in New
England. ~

The eiestrIc current is perfect.
That part Of the ocean near this coast where
the cable is laid, is north Of the Banks, and in
water so deep that the icebergs cannot affect IT,
while water in Trinity Bay at the head Of which
the station is located. and which is 60 miles from
the entrance, is from 1850 to 200 fathoms deep.
Mr.. Field has received congratulatory dis
patches from the President Of the United States
the Governor Of Massachusetts,, the Governor
General Of Canada, the Governor Of New Bruns-
wick, and from all parts Of the Union.
A dispatch from Baltimore asks II IL is true
that the cable is laid, for they can't believe IT,

lou cannot imagine the intense anxiety and
suspense on board the Niagara during the whole
time the cable was being laid for negligence in a

SUICIDE OF A MERoHANr.-Wrlkes II

SUICIDE OF A MERCHANT. Wylkes Epson,
we'll known merchant Of Waterbury, CT,
committed suicide on Saturday, by hanging
himself. He was man of property, and a
stakeholder in the Brown Brothers Company,
whose establishment was burnt down on
Thursday last, but as no loss was then expe-
rieneed by the Company, it is believed that it
could not have been the cause of the fatal
act he had been a spiritualist for about
four years, and for several months he had oc-
casionally shown symptoms Of mental de-
rangement. The verdict of the jury was

KANzAs ITEMs.-The wheat in Kanzas was
not so universally destroyed by rust as has
been represented. A letter from Ossawato-
mic says that the wheat there was secured in
good condition, and corn, if the season con-
tinues favorable, will yield beyond precedent
There was fatal quarrel at Ossawatomie,
growing out of a dispute about some wheat,
in which a Mr.. Way was killed by William
Miller, who inflicted five stabs, any one of
which would have caused death.
A party of seventeen men had returned
from the Kanzas gold diggings on Green riv-
er, bringing considerable quantity of the
dust with them. They were satisfied with
the prospect, and came only for a supply of
provisions for their company Of hundred or
more. They were damming the river, and
making canal to turn it out of its bed, and
expected great results from the operation.
One hundred of the two hundred and
seven miles of the Hannibal and st. joseph
Railroad, through Northern Missouri, are
now completed, and when the whole road is
finished, Kanzas will be within three DAYS
ride Of Boston. The completion of this road
will tend to increase emigration to Kanzas as
Western Missouri,

A Cum OprnAr1oN.-The Nav York onr.

respondent OF the Charleston Courier says:
1.-The manner in which Commodore Van
d@rbilt came in possession of this new steam
ship-the Ocean Queen-is little singular.
He had got up an opposition to the line of
Morgan Co., running between New Orleans
and Galveston, and, in order to get rid of
him, this concern asked him what he would
take to draw off. His terms were the new
steamship Ocean Queen-and two hundred
thousand dollars in cash. Morgan & Co. con-
cluded that this was buying him off cheap,
and so Vanderbilt pocketed this large sum of
money. and came into possession of the new
steamer.
