EIr. Cyrus w. Field on the Atlantic

At Philadelphia, recently, Mr. Cyrus W.
Field spoke for a about three-qnartcrs of an
hour. Thompson was in the char, and Lorin
BIodget, Esq, secretary. One OF the tables
on the platform was covered with specimens of
cables used n different parts of the world
The address could scarcely be called lecture.
1t was exceedingly interesting, abounding, as
it did, with allusons to the experiments, sue
cessluI, or otherwise, which had been made
with respect to submarine cables all over the
world
In the commencement of his remarks he
said that on his return from ludia to England
he had stopped at Jnha Isand in the Red
Sea, the first point OF telegraphlc communca-
tion with London. gentleman there was
exceedingly deSirOus to telegraph to that city.
He Was rble to do so, and the message deliv-
cred in fourteen minutes. 1t a telegraphic
cable were once established between this conn
try and England, the benefit of the result can
oUly be approXimated III computation. -
Throughout the discourse the speaker alluded
to the efforts which had been made here and
elsewhere, and made remarks akin to those
made by most of the prominent speakers on
the subject in every country.
The directors of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company believe that this important work
committed to their charge is at length fully
ripe for execution. They have the fullest con-
fideHce in the suliciency of the scientific and
practical facilities which now exist for testing,
submerging, and working loug deepsea cables.
This confidence and these facilities have in.
creased and been matuIed during five years of
careful consideration, inquiry, aud experience; ;
and being brought forward on the present oc-
casion in conjunction with advantageous and
weldigested business arrangement, the direc
tors have faith in the establishment of perma
nent and efficient telegraphc communication
between Europe and America by way of Ire
| land and Newfoundland. An enterprise so
important, and now become so comparatively
easy to accomplish, appeals not only to the
great commercial interests of Europe and
in both countries its benefits to peace and
civilization it is impossible to estimate MesSrs.

The CITY.-For the last week our city
has been unusually full of strangers and
all our hotels have been crowded with
merchants, who are here from all parts
of the surrounding country making their
fall purchases of dry goods, groceries,
boots and shoes, and ready made cloth
ing, &C., for which Evansville affords
such fine facilities for supplying.
Only those who visit and go through
the extensive dry goods and grocery
houses of this city. and the mammoth
boot and shoe establishments, can form
out faint idea Of the immense business
transacted by our enterprising and lib
eral dealing merchants.
In fact, Evansville is fast becoming
great commercial center, and but for
the distressing want of dwelling houses
for rent or sale would soon out-strip all
the cities of the State in growth and
prosperity.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-We are told that
a man was set upon Friday night about
8 o. clock, near the corner of Third and
Walnut streets, and robbed of 800 AS
no complaint has been fled in the May
or's Office, or any of the Offices of justice,
we are somewhat inclined to doubt the
whole story, though it may be true, as
our city is infested by large number of
persons who never work any, and have
no visible means of support, and the
natural inference is that they i've by

We think that the police should make

presence of these miscreants. If it is
not the duty of the City Marshal and his
deputies to ferret out these plunderers oil
honest men, let the City Council establish
a Detective Police, whose duties should
be well defined.
