TIE NEW GABLE.

THE NEW CABLE.
New York, Dec. TO-
n statement appeared yesterday that the
new ocean cable would be in working
order last evening. Mr.. Ward of the di-
rect United States cable company declared
this assertion to be incorrect, as the con-
ncction would probably not be established
until some time next week. The new cable
has already been fully described in these
columns. 1t is the largest now in exist
encc, and cost CT 100000. 1t was made
by Semens Brothers, in Woolwich, Eng
land. The Atlantic &c Pacific, the Frank
lin and other Independent lines, in connec-
ton with which the cable is to be used,
have built direct telegraph lines from Bos-
ton to Rye Beach, so that communication
with London can be had without touching
Newfoundland. The officials of Rye
Beach have been speaking with those on
the ship Faraday, by means of this cable,
from distance of fifteen miles What the
rates of the new company arc to be, and
whether they will be lower than those now
prevailing-0nc dollar gold per word-has
not yet been determined.
THE BAY RIDGE HEROES.
Some of our citizens propose to get up a
testimonial to the heroes of the battle with
the burglars at Bay Ridge. If the sugges-
ton should be carried out sum of money
to the two hired men who took part in the
ARRAY would, no doubt, be welcome, and
would not be misippled Mr.. Holmes
Van Brunt and his son might happily be
each presented with rifle and revolver,
accompanied by the expression of hope
that all the New York burglars when prac-
Using their profession may go to Bay
Ridge
THE STORY OF CHARLEY ROSS,
and the tragedy of the dead burglars, grows
in interest with the revelations of each day.
The identity of Mosher with the child
stealer seems pretty thoroughly established.
All the testimony tends to this conclusion.
If it is correct, the worst is to be feared III
regard to the child. Indeed, we have
painful story of a child, drowned in an un-
frequented spot, which during the summer
was favorite haunt of these men. Moth
ing short of the restoration OF the child can
heal the sorrows of a tragedy astounding
in itself, and bewldering as much from
what is known concerning it, as from what
remains 10 be revealed.
TIE BOOKS OF TIE PACIFIC MAIL COMPANY,
| arc in Washington, in obedience to orders
| from the ways and means committee.
| When they are returned n statement will
be made up down to the list of December.
| This statement will show actual earnings
of fully $1,000, 900, exclusive of receipts
from other sources, and will show that
| s 100000 has been expended in putting
the old steamers in thorough order, while
the balance due on the present completed
fleet of iron steamers has been paid and
| 100000 on the three new iron steamers
now building. AS late as last evening the
Central Pacific railroad company had not
| signed any contract with the Occidental
and Oriental steamship company, the vari-
GUS statements to the contrary notwith-
standing.
| The Washington testimony of yesterday
must confirm the now general belief that
an immense sum of money was spent in
the Pacific Mail company's interest at
| Washington, and serve to increase the de-
sire of the people to know exactly how it
was distributed but to understand the full
import of the testimony we must know
what Mr.. Irwin has had to say on the sub
ject. Mr. Parsons $4,000 was but pit
lance Of the several hundred thousand dol
lars charged to profit and loss.
SUSPICION OF DEATH OF CHARLIE ROSS.
1t is now thought by some that the body
of the child found in Newark Bay, on No
vember 18th, was that of Charlie Ross.
as it was there that the sloop of Mosher
was anchored frequently during the last
fall
DISAPPOINTMENT.
The argument in the Beccher-Tilton case
on the mo'ion Tor bill of particulars,
which was TO take place next Monday, has
again been postponed to the latter part of
next week.
THAT MISSING WITNESS.
The Tribune says the j. c. S. Colby of
Missouri, who was yesterday confirmed as
consul to Chin Kiang, is the missing wit
ness who was so badly needed in the safe
burglary case, and who was then on his
way to San Francisco, to take passage to
China with the above appointment in his
