GREAT TELEGRAPH PRoJEcrs-FRAKcE AMI
ALsiERs-THE NBw CABLE BETWEEN EsdLANr
AND THE UNITED STATEs..-New York, Aug. 8.
Tho following is an extract from a private
letter. received by the Persia to-day, and da-
ted London, July %, 1859:
~ contract has been entered into between
+. N. Osborne, ESD, Engineer OF the Tele-
graph Cable Company Limited, "a manufac-
turing company,) and the French Government,
whereby said Company undertakes to connect
Toulon with Algiers direct by submarine ca
BILE, before the Both of November next.
The distance is nearly 500 miles, and the
depth 1880 fathoms, or nearly two miles,
This will be a grand experimental trial for the
light cables SO long advocated by Mr.. Gis-
borne, and if successful, will advance the
shares OF the British Transatlantic Telegraph
Company to high premium.
"The British Transatlantic Telegraph
Company will lay the line between Cornwall,
England and Blanc Sab, on Straits of Belle
Isle, in connection with the Nova Scotia, Bos-
ton and Halifax and Union lines during Au-
gust, 1860. The prospectus will be published
next week, with such names for directors as
will command public sympathy and confidence
in the enterprise. Osborne is also engineer
of this company.
1.-THE Transatlantic Gable Company is an
enterprise apart from the Atlantic Cable Com
pany, which has proved such failure. The
moving spirits in this latter company, which
is about being re-galvanized, are Peter Cooper,
A. S. Hewitt and Cyrus W. Field, who also
control the American Telegraph Company,
which, under their management, ..refuses to
transmit the foreign news dispatches over
their wires from Sackvilie to any other party
but the agent of the Associated Press, thus
compelling every newspaper in the country to
depend upon the American Telegraph Com
pany for their reports. The Atlantic Gable
Company, in the hands Of these gentlemen,
would be Just such another MONOPOLY
they could make 1t work-RnPoRFRR.

CRICKET MATcH.--We understand that O
match at the interesting and healthful game
of cricket will come off at West Chester, on OF
about the goth of tho present month, the
West Chester club having been challenged by
the Mechanics, Club of Wilmington, and said
challenge having been accepted. It is said
that the Mechanics numbers among its mem
bers some of the best cricketers anywhere to
be found; so our neighbors of West Chester
need not be surprised if the Club returns
crowned with victory. A short time since
the Wilmington Cricket Club was challenged
by the Mechanics Club, but said challenge,
we are told, was not accepted. The Mechan-
les Club is composed, principally, of me-
chanics.

GRLLErE's New MAP.-The plan of a new
map embracing Philadelphia and an area of
thirty miles in circumference therefrom, has
been submitted to us by Mr.. Pomroy, who is
now in this city soliciting subscribers and
making the necessary arrangements for COM
mencing a survey of the town and adjacent
Hundreds within the prescribed circuit. We
are told that Delaware City will be about the
limit of the map south, while all the villages
east Of us on the Jersey shore, all west of us
as far as Newark and West Chester and the
whole of the county north within the circuit
will appear upon it, reduced by careful and
accurate surveys to a scale of one inch to the
mile. Every public road will be surveyed and
correctly named, and so will all the dwellings,
mills, factories, schools churches, Post Offices,
work shops and county stores. Each School
district will appear and each Hundred be ex-
hibited in different color. To guarantee ao-
curacy in the spelling of places, names, &C.,
plan of the map will be submitted to the in
speotion of every subscriber whose name ap-
pears upon it. 1t is intended to make it so
accurate to the scale that the precise distance
may be ascertained from one place to another
by the use Of an inch rule. The plots of
towns will also be shown in side views sepa-
rate ond distinct from the whole, which will
include the counties of Philadelphia, Delaware
Montgomerys part of Bucks, Berks and Ches-
ter in Pennsylvania, and Camden, Burlington,
Mercer, Hunterdon, Gloucester, Salem and
Somerset, New Jersey, and New Castle, Della
ware. AS every property holders name will
appear on it with the road leading to and
from all residences, it must be a very valu-
able affair to the great mass of those living
within the limits noted far more SO than the
map of any single county or State could be.
1t will be of the most substantial material fur
nished at the extremely low price of $5-a copy.
Should this map be completed in the manner
proposed, of which we have the strongest as
surance, it will prove immensely valuable to
our city and adjoining country. AS it will
exhibit our beautiful little city with all its
surroundings TO the best advantage to hun
dreds of thousands of people who, perhaps,
would otherwise not be aware that our city,
embracing all the advantages Of town and
country, with unrivalled land and water COM
munication, existed in Delaware so near them.
Thousands of subscribers in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, who will take
this map, we doubt not know nothing of the
advantages which Wilmington offers for edu-
cational and manufacturing purposes. We
therefore, think we cannot too highly recon-
mend this map to the patronage of our people.
