AMERICA.  The question as to the immediate prospect of reestablishing telegraphic communication with America will be added on Wednesday week. The company are then to hold an extraordinary meeting to submit the terms they have obtained from the Government, and to see if £6oo,ooo—the required amount of new capital—can thus be raised. It appears that the Government are ready to guarantee a dividend of 8 per cent. per annum for 25 years, provided the cable is in successful operation and capable of conveying 100 words an hour. Also, that they will pay £20,000 per annum for messages. The company, moreover, are to be allowed to spend £20,000 out of the new guaranteed capital in attempts to make the existing cable available. They are likewise to continue to enjoy the benefit of the original arrangement for a paymedt of £14,000 per annum from the United States' Government. In return they are to surrender the exclusive right of landing cables on the shores of Newfoundland. The directors consider that these conditions should induce the shareholders to subscribe the necessary amount, especially as the risks of the work will be greatly reduced not only by the experience gained, but by a variety of new precautions. They , propose to guard by a policy of insurance against accidents or loss from the process of submerging the cable, and also that the contract for its manufacture shall be accompanied by provisions for its efficient electrical working for a considerable period. The new capital is to be in the form of preference shares of £5 each, entitled to all the net profits of the 8 per cent., and to divide all furthereempany up to the original shareholders. A r profits with reconstruction of the Board is at the same time to be effected, as well as a reduction in the number of its members. Finally, the directors point to the 'urgent claims of the undertaking from its advantages in a political sense. "If England," they remark, were compelled to take up arms for the defence of her colonies or her commerce, its absence at such a crisis wotld be a national disgrace,--a calamity the more bitter on account of its easy prevention, considering the perfect facility with which the work can now be brought to completion, if a warm and publicspirited effort be made."  On the 16th of March last the deceased purchased a ticket at New York to go by the. steamship Bremen to Southampton,n andhe sailed in her on the 19th of the same yoenkti month. o.s w n Prior that t he eh intendedis departure he made it generalill to return to Germany. ,faait.he earliavneA in his possession on leavinc, reside at " Wolfstein from 160 dols.

From the above facts it would appear that the paper found near the deceased, signed, as deciphered at the inquest," Heinrich Matterigh," and announcing the transmission of five dollars to the mother of the writer, was written not by the 'deceased himself, but by his brother. It may be remarked, that at the time the body was lying in the Pier Storehouse one of the spectators who visited it inquired whether either of the persons in whose company the deceased had been seen on the day preceding the murder was a butcher. The inquiry, as our reporter understood, was founded on the circumstance-of the wrist having been divided at the his aim with sou join t, and also of there being but one stab in the body, leading direct to the heart. It was asserted, ho stab is however, that even if acquainted • h suicide is tin i nt the assassin, that one with anatomy, can rarely take iletvnhascaalemasreiesosfanmdlicredretia. sufficient to effect his object.

Isishand which would serve for identity may probably oect in concealing his have been to spare the feelings of his parents.  Proposed by Mr. J. FARNELL, and seconded by Mr. Justice HALLrBuRroN, M.P. (Sam Slick), "That, in order to prevent the possibility of a successful attempt being made to invade this country, it is essentially requisite that volunteer corps should be established in every part of the kingdom, and it is the opinion of this meeting that a corps should be forthwith formed for this district of the county of Middlesex."
