THE REPORTED Loss OF THE BARK ELnA-The
account published in this paper Thursday,
telegraphed from Boston, of the loss of the bark
Eliza, of New York, Capt. i. 5. Pike, based on the
statements of Charles II. Rowden (the reputed Sc
cond mate of the vessel) and others, is entirely
without foundation. The Eliza was taken to Ham
burg about year since by Capt. Pike there Sold and
commanded another vessel which he also sold at
Hamburg, and was aiterward first officer of
the steamship Northern Light, and returned from
Bremen in her on the Goth ult., since which he has
remained in this city. We have these particulars
from Capt. Pike himself, who also states that the
man Rowden was his second mate in the Eliza
when she left this port about two years ago for
Norfolk, thence to the West Indies, and on her re-
turn in Nov, 1856, Rowden left the vessel. In
stead of a wreck, it may turn out to be case of
desertion, something worse, and ought to be in
vestigated.-Neo York Joarnal Of Commerce.

approved the laws, but the tenor is not given in
the papers. The schooner Aglae, which was stolen
by the mate from the roads of Coteaux on the 27th
of june had been forced to put into Carthagena by
stress of weather. The mates story was that while
lying at Coteaux, the captain was taken sick on
shore, and ordered him to make sail for Aux Cayes
where the vessel belonged; but that having been
driven to sea, after vainy trying to reach Jamaica
he had been obliged to 60 to Carthagena. No steps
had been taken to recover the vessel.-Ne,c York

BEET Roor SUGAR.-The increase in France of
the production of beetroot sugar is such as to be
ing the save-trade for the sake of furnishing the
French sugar colonies with labor adequate to the
production Of the sugar needed in France. The
amount produced in 1851 was ca 900, 900 kilogram-
mes; in 1854, 100000; in 1857, 5000 0OO and
this year it will not be less than LOG, 900 600 A
kilogramme, it will be recoected, is about two and
fifth of our pounds. The high price of grain has
checked the beet cultivation for three four years
will go into it. In fact, the homemade is gaining
so fast on the colonial production of sugar that the
Chamber of Commerce of Nantes calls loudly for a
protective duty in favor of the colonies, whose
sugar it is said ought to be encouraged on account
OF the large quantity of shipping employed in its
transportation.

To the Directors Of the Atlantic Telegraph Con.pony

GU should not look upon the cable as an ordinary
short telegraph line that can be worked through
directly. The cable has been successfully laid, and
telegraphc signals are passed through it at our

private dispatch from reliable gentleman at St.
Johns, who is in position to obtain the earliest
and most reliable unofficial intelligence concerning
the cable, which states that the instruments at
the communications from the electricians at the
Faentia office; but that, owing to as yet un-
explained cause, it has been impossible to commu-
nlcate that or any other intelligence to the operators
at Nalenta. This is state of things which often
occurs upon the land ines-i. G., one office can re-
ceIye correctly from distant operator, and vet be
unable to send word in return-and the difficulty
is sooner or later, found to be in the battery its
connections, or the instruments; and there is no
reason to doubt that the present difficulty in work
ing the cable WILL soon as the electricians can
compare notes, be speedily overcome.

ToBAcco.-A French paper, the Genie Industrial,
says it cannot account for the increase in
the consumption of tobacco in France 1t says that
while in 1880 the value of tobacco consumed was
$4,000 000 in lS40 it had increased to $l900O0 900,
in 1851 to O,000 and in 1857 to nearly S35,
OOO,0O0 Considering the extraordinary increase
in luxury and expenditures which have gathered
and advanced in France of late years. it is thought
probable that perhaps between forty and fifty mil
lion dollars worth would now be the annual est-
mate. The increase of consumption in Great Brit
ain, with proper allowance for smuggling, appears
to have been actually much greater than in France,
while the same is true of the United States and

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM FRIGATE NIAGARA,
From, }bs N.,, Y,~I. Iy.u,Jy ~ ...,


The Niagara was signazed off Sandy Hook as
early as nine o'clock yesterday morning. and the
general expectation was that she would Immediate
ly come up to the city and land her passengers
Such, however, proved not to be the case, as Capt
Hudson, under the advice of the city authorities,
deemed it best to delay coming up to the city until
such time as the proper preparations could be made
for her reception in public manner. The repose
OF the Sabbath would have been disturbed had the
Niagara appeared in New York bay yesterday, and
Captain Hudson has profound regard for the prop
er observance of the day. and by no act of his would
he have it devoted to other than religious dutes-
The frigate therefore, was detained off Southwest
Spit all day, no doubt much to the chagrin of those
on board, who in sight of home and near their fam
lies, were unable to regain them after so long an
absence.
This delay, however, will afford the city authori-
ties enough time to receive the Niagara in an ap-
propriate manner. hundred guns will salute her
from the Battery, while the national coors will float
from all the forts and shipping in the harbor. The
Spanish frigate Barrenguela will salute the Niagara
as she passes the Quarantine station.
The arrival of the Niagara was known in the city
early in the day, and number of persons assem-
bled on the Battery to watch her coming up. Her
non-appearance, however, led most of the specta-
tors to conclude that the report of her arrival was
untounded.
The ovation to-day will, no doubt, be on an un-
precedently magnificent scale.
