fresh injury is reported to have happened to one
of the cables of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
The accident which has caused the parting OF the
cable has occurred about seventy miles from Hearts
Content, near the locality of the former fractures Of
the line The injured cable is the one laid in 1866
and which has alone suffered from casualties. The
present is the fourth fracture that has occurred in
the 1860 cable on the Newfoundland side. About
six weeks since fault was also discovered
in the same cable short distance from
Valentia A steamer has been for some time
past lying Off the harbor, waiting % for fair fair
weather to proceed to the spot where the fault
exists, to repair the damage. The cause of these
fractures has not yet been distinctly stated, but
there is reason to believe that the course taken in
laying the cablethe latter portion having been laid
that the cable has been injured by chadng upon
them. The first injury to the cable OF Hearts Con-
tent had every appearance of being caused by an
iceberg settling down upon it, The second injury
bore traces of wilful damage and suspicion attaches
to strange craft, which, during the time of the
excitement about the Fenians, was seen lowering
near the spot where the rupture took place. The
1865 cable remains perfectly safe, as it is laid
in a channel that was carefully surveyed. This
is the cable which was lost in the attempt to
lay it by the original Atlantic Telegraph Company.
When the Anglo-American Company took up the
work in 1866 they were successful in their task and
having laid the cable which they had on board the
Great Eastern, they returned to midocean and grap
pied with and raised the lost cable OF the previous
year, which has ever since continued to work unin-
terruptedy, while its younger brother has suffered
from not less than five mshaps. But for the sngu-
lar good luck OF the Anglo-Amerlcan Company
which enabled them to pick up the lost cable from
Cle Deu OF tne Atlantic, communication with Anne
RIGA would have been interrupted five occasions
and each time for considerable period.


In order to provide against contingencies such as
these which have just occurred, quantity OF surplus
cable has been stored at Hearts Content which may
he put on board ship there and at once made avaa-
ble so as to render unnecessary the delay and eX-
pense of making the voyage the whole distance
across the Atlantic by the repairing ships.


Fortunately, the communication between the two
countries has not been interrupted for moment by
the failure of this 1866 cable, ana we informed
that the number of messages sent through Friday
last was larger than upon any day on which the line
has been open for messages.

The following extracts snow the state of the New
York money market yesterday


From the Herald.


"The calm prevailing in Wall street had no inter-
ruption until late in the afternoon, when the stock
market became weak in consequence of teegraphic
reports of a panic and large decline in wheat at
Chicago Now, the wheat market is to the Western
metropolis what the stock market is to New York,
the centre OF speculation. Here our operators,
there they deal in the products of the soil almost
exclusively. The great panic which recently visited
New York Is just reaching Chicago. We find In the
plethora of money in the banks the indisposlton Of
Eastern capitalists to buy Western grain or to dis
count grain paper. The grain which has accumu-
lated in Chicago, or which has been bought for
future delivery requires money to carry. The
situation is exactly the same as 1t was in the New
York Stock Exchange. The bulls in both places
have had to sell, and hence the panic and de-
cline. The rise in gold under clique manipu-
decline to 130@131 has divested these operations OF
success, and the operators will doubtless suffer
nifty If the nefarous system Of grain speculation is
broken up. With lower tariff for the different
grades it will be possible to revive our export bust
ness which is the real source OF national and social
prosperity. Wheat must undoubtedly undergo the
ordeal through which stocks have just passed. When

The acquittal of Mr.. William Varley will surprise

Among the many that lie buried and
awaiting the day Of accOunts,I will here re-
fer to one only. How many of our ministers
of the Gospel-how many of our laymen
are there, who mever try to do good through
the public press!


1 know of few men, not by any means
more gifted than thousands of their fellows
men not offce-b bearers in the church, who
have been doing incalculable good by watch
ing opportunities to give "a word in season"
to some one or more of the political press.
A judicious remark, briefly set down concern
ing some passing event, or on some senti-
ment which had previously appeared in the
paper-in these and other ways they watch
for opportunities to exert good influence
upon society. A vast deal might be done to
improve the moral tone of the secular jour
mails of the country, if good people were
more disposed to use the talent now ''laid up
in napkin


Again, how many there are who never
seek the columns of religious newspaper as
means of doing good. We have reason to
be thankful that our religious journals are so
ably conducted. Our editors are hard work
ing men, and deserve all commentator.
The instruction and qualification derived
from those who are faithfully trying to edify
the Church by writing for them, should be
fully acknowledged. But the number is too
small; we should have greater variety. Why
cannot this be supplied? In the Synod of
Virginia alone Il take that merely for the
sake of an example, there are three-score
and ten ministers, at least, every one of
whom might write for the Central Presbyte-
riam ten articles year, each from ten inches
to column in length. But if they would
give only five, of condensed, pointed thoug ght,
it would be plenty.

terrible accident occurred at about half-past
10 o'clock last evening, which has since been
attended with fatal results


A young lady named Laura Carswell, q
T. aeher in one of our public schools, who re-
sided with her father Mt No. 1115 Market street.
was the victim. She was retiring at about half
past 10 last evening, and was all ready to get
into bed, when she turned to n coal-oil lamp, IL
Is supposed, and attempted to eXtinguish the
light by blowing down the chimney. The flame
was thus blown down into the oil, and the lamp
exploded, throwing the blazing oil all over Miss
CaTswell's night-dress and the clothing she had
just taken off, lying near. Enveloped in flames,
she ran screaming into the entry communicating
with her room, where her father Immediately
afterwards found her. He made every effort to
extinguish the flames, and a brother of the
young lady's tore up piece of step carpet and
threw It over her head This saved her head
from burning, but her whole person. from her
neck down, was horribly burned before the
flames could be extinguished.


By this time Miss Carswelrs room was on fire,
and 1t required the efforts of the family to save
the house from destruction.


Mr.. Carswell, in his attempt to save his
daughter had his hands badly burned, all the
finger nails being burned off one hand, and the
other so much injured that it will be a long time
before he can again use it, it, indeed he ever
can.


Medical aid was Immediately summoned to
dress the wounds and alleviate the sufferiugs of
the poor girl, but the physicians pronounced her
case hopeless one from the first. She fingered
on from the time of the accident until about 10
o'clock this morning, when death put an end to
her sufferings. During great part of the time
she lived after the accident she was entirely un-
conscious and was doubtless thus saved from
much of the anguish she would otherwise have
suffered. Her body and hands were most
severely burned and her person, except her head
and feet, was one mass of scorched flesh. ~

years old, in the full bloom of early womanhood,

character, and leaves large circle of friends to

Departure of n FiIibuster steamer from


We have fuller particulars of the escape OF the
DeIphine from Boston, which was announced in our
telegrapbic columns yesterday


The steamer Delphine, Captain McKim, arrived at
this port (Boston on Sunday last from Philadelphla
market. The steamer has since been lying
at Grand Junction wharf in very quiet
manner, giving no outward sign OF anything
irregular in the movements aboard, and appa-
rently the public had no cause of suspecting her
business here to be other than that OF q
purely mercantile character. Yesterday, however,
some information was given to the Hayten Charge
dAfTaires, George Raester, who was a.guest or the
city, which caused him at once to make an effort
to detain the seamen on the ground that she was
designed to render aid to the rebels OF Hayu; but
unfortunately for the purpose, no United states ot
cials could be found TO take action in regard to the
matter, owing TO their temporary absence from the
city. In the meantime the steamer had escaped.
She disappeared from her berth some time in the
night and passed the outer marine stations at High
land Light and Cape Cod at 10 O'Clock this fore
noon on her way TO sea She took out clearance
papers yesterday for Kingston, Jamaica at the Gus
tom House, after business hours, and according TO
her manifest she is laden with provisions. The re-
venue officers under direconsof Collector Russell,
have had some surveillance over her for a day or
two past and nothing occurring to warrant her de-
tention on their part, she was furnished with the
usual papers when going on a foreign voyage.
Her sudden departure so soon after the ac-
ton OF the Haytien Charge dAnares would
seem to give strength to the suppostion that
she has ON board material for the rebels
in the island OF Hayt who at last accounts, were
apparently gaming important advantages over Sal
nave, the ruler of that distracted island The Del

Strawberries s.-Southern Illinois is the
great strawberry growing region OF the West
furnishing supplies not only to the Chicago
market, but to Cincinnati and St Louis
The latter place depends almost entirely upon
Southern Illinois for its supply, vet so abund-
ant is the crop that cOnsignments from that
quarter arrive in Chicago throughout the sea-
son large enough to enable the wholesale fruit
erers Of that city to ship them in large quanti-
ties to other markets. north and east. Some
idea of the extent of the strawberry crop in
Southern Illinois may be gathered from the
fact that the strawberry growers of Golden
alone recently advertised that from the 20th of
May to the 18th of June they would require
one thousand strawberry pickerS. From about
the 20th May to the middle of June, when the
season is at its height the quantity Of straw
berries imported from Southern Illinois by Chi
cago dealers averages about three car loads q
day, each car containing four hundred and fifty
bushels. The middle of June, when the sup
ply from Michigan commences, the receipts
average about five hundred bushels q day fol
ten days.
