THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
The report Of the Anglo-American Tcle-
graph Company (Limited) has been is
sued, in anticipation Of the general meet
ing on the I'd of August next. Ii states
that the net profits for the eleven months
ending on the goth Of June are more than
sufficient to meet the sums Of El25, 900
and t25, 000payablc to the company as q
first charge upon the working OF the two
cables and the lines Of the New York,
Newfoundland, and London Telegraph
Company. The charge for repair OF the
cable damaged in May last will amount to
between 1000 and 9l2,O0O; while,

date steps will be taken to effect the ne
ccssary repairs. The directors recon-
mend dividend of 25s. per share, which,

AMERICAN GUNS.
The London Times reioiccs that they
have "gauged the power Of the strongest
American gun likely to be brought against
us on any OCCASION" and adds:
"Wc find that the penetrative effort Of
the l5-inch gun is inferior to that OF the
English 9-inch rihed gun under circum-
stances the most favorable to the former.
The American gun weighs as much IS an
English 9-inch and a finch together, its
life with battcring charges is stated by the
American military authorities to be very
low, and il VIC compare it with the Eng
lish gun nearest its own weight, the latter,
though ono and quarter tons lighter,
would be driving every she'll through the
sides Of an iron-clad against which the
smooth-bore could but rap bcsccchingly
and without effect It is an easy matter
of calculation from data obtained on We'd
nesday that the 15-inch American cast
iron shot would have been stopped by the
Lord Warden, Bellerophon, Lord Clyde,
and ships Of that class but the steel shot
would have penetrated all except the Her
cules or Monarch, which are not yet alloat.
This supposes range Of seventy yards
and direct blow"

Jicriquc tel quill est, describes the charac-
ter OF Juarez as follows:

dent of the Republic. After the flight Of
Comonfort, in 1858, he succeeded to the
Presidency, Notwithstanding the intrigues
Of his competitors. He is L man Of some
talent, exceedingly cunning and tenacious
but quite Insignificant IS politician or
administrator. His courage is not supe-
ror to his capacity as a statesman. When
the fighting for and against him was going
on at the gates of Mexico under the Re-
public, one of my friends went to say to
him, President, get on horseback, and
hasten to the Alameda to sustain the spirit
of your soldiers by your presence 4
cannot ride on horseback replied Juarez,
phlcgmatically, as he lay stretched on 4
sofa, continuing to smoke. Wei, get on
donkey replied my friend, who could
not restrain his indignation. 1t is not
worth while,' replied the President, after i
moment Of reflection on the advice, the
bent of which he did not perceive
THE QUEENS BOOK.
Queen Tictoria's memoirs of Prince
Albert produced quite sensation. Her
Majesty relates all the circumstances at
tending her first introduction TO her future

QUIET VISIT.
The visit of the French Empress to
