Thursday May 24th Prince Gortschakoff has sent instructions to the Rus sian representatives at the courts of the great powers explaining why the Turkish Ambassador was not in vited with the Ambassadors of Austria rance Great Britain and Russia to receive the proposals of Rus sia relative to an inquiry into the condition of the Christians in Turkey Prince Gortschakoff says the condition of the Christians in the Turkish empire is a question of general interest reserved for the conside ration of the European Conference which for nearly fifty years has consisted of the five great powers ex clusively among which Turkey is not included It had not been necessary to call the representative of the Porte to this assembly of Ambassadors beaause he signed the treaty of the 30th March 1 856 The same claim could have been made by Sardinia whose participation in the negociation in question would have been opposed by Austria It was therefore necessary to exclude the Porte in order to avoid the admission of Piedmont and to confine the deliberation to the great powers only THE CATTLE SHOW AT CORK Plans for sheds and other buildings for the National Cattle Show to be held in Cork this summer were submitted on Saturday to a joint meeting of the County of Cork Agricultural Society Com Market Trustees aud generally approved of The site of the Exhibition is to be the yard and ground attached to the Corn Market At the northern side of the yard near the Exchange will be erected the cattle sheds wliiqh will cover a space of about 1000 lineal feet and will afford accommodation for 200 head of cattle The horse sheds will be erected along the passage at the eastern side of the market and will contain 200 lineal feet of space for sires intended to accommodate 30 and 220 lineal feet for mares which will accommodate 40 animals By the arrangements made should a larger amount of ac commodation bo required in this department it can be provided Inside the horse sheds along the eastern side of the yard and about half way along the southern side will be erected the sheds for sheep in which de partment about 300 entries are expected At the opposite side and meeting the sheep sheds at the southern side are to be those for the pigs which are arranged in an ticipation of 90 entries The implement sheds will be erected on the ground at the southern side of the yard and will occupy a space of 1300 lineal feet arrange ments being made for 1000 feet additional should it bo required The centre of the yard will be used as a pro menade during the show and through all the sheds will be commodious passages by which visiters will be en abled Without to inspect the animals closely i There will also be a covered promenade between the cattle sheds and the Exchange at the northern side 330 feet long bv 1 wide and in this will be arranged pens for the poult rv I lie number of animals for which accommodation is to be provided may seem rather small for exhibition embracing the whole of Ireland but none bitt the very best will be admitted to' competition so that the exhibition will contain only the very cream of various breeds of cattle horsesj in the country The plans for sheds have been executed by Mr Robert Walker architect and engineer a pupil of Sir John Benson and who has been connected with several important works in England' The temporary buildings will be put up wider his 'superintendence and through the manner in which he has arranged his plans all the sheds at present standing will be made available for the show so that the attendant expenses will be much less in proportion than those of the national cattle shows in other places Tenders were received by the committee on Saturday for the supply of timber when that of Messrs James O' Connor and Son

morning publishes the law con cerning sugars and calices which has been agreed to by the senate The same paper also publishes the order of the day of matters to be discussed in the next sitting of the senate among which are petitions relative to the import of iron and to the execution of the treaty of commerce between rance and England The Emperor of the rench is said to be more and more dissatisfied with the Piedmontese government and aomplains that the period previous to the ratification of the annexatidn of Savoy to rance has been taken ad vantage of to sell the crown lands which should revert to rance T11E ATLANTIC COMPANY (from the Weekly Register') That epigrammatic old gentleman kSamuel Johnson is we think reported somewhere by his frierid Boswell to have said If you want to have your business pro perly done you had better do it Whether we are accurate or not in our recollections of Bozzy into whose pleasant pages we have not dipped this many a day does not greatly matter after all for the maxim which we have placed above in inverted commas sufficiently commends itself to the common sense of mankind without even the authority of the author of Rasselas to enforce it Our Irish fellow subjects at all events have got the conviction firmly impressed upon their minds that nobody can do their business for them better than themselves and they seem stoutly resolved to do it We frankly confess that we think them thoroughly and unquestionable in the right But let not our readers start in alarm We do not advert to day to any new demand of the Irish people for a native parliament for a repeal of the Union or anything of that sort No nothing of the sort is on the cards at present What we refer to now is the growing deter mination manifested everyday of our fellow subjects in Ireland to get into their own hands the complete and unreserved management of all their own business in railways mines and steam ships which resolution we heartily commend and most earnestly wish it God It is a truth shameful to us in England dis creditable to our patriotism and by no means sugges tive of that shrewd good sense which we claim for our that whilst our capitalists have spent incredible sums in the wildest and unsafest speculations in Europe and America they have hardly invested a thousand pounds of capital in Ireland Look at that case even of Richd Cobden from whose commercial you would have argued wiser things When England after the repeal of the com law presented him with a magni ficent testimonial of its gratitude he might have pur chased with it cheaply a noble estate in Ireland for the Incumbered Estates Court had just commenced working then and valuable properties hurried into the market were going for a Cobden wise specu lator invested the money in American railways and has lost it The Irish estates were bought up to the value of 18 millions principally bylrish traders and that in vestment the solid earth itself is paying them from six to eight and in many cases even more than ten per cent But there is some English capital invested in Ireland not much though and Englishmen have the control of' some Irish undertakings It is our shame to to confess that almost as a rule these undertakings so controlled by English directors sitting in London are in comparably the worst managed in the country No wonder then that our Irish fellow subjects following out Dr wholesome maxim' and desiring to have their business well done should resolve henceforth to do it' themselves A great authority William Dar gan stated some time ago on a public occasion and proved by unquestionable statistics that the railway lines of Ireland are the best managed and (stranger still) the most remunerative in the whole United Kingdom There were he said one or two lines in Ireland ill conducted and unprofitable but these were managed by a directory of Englishmen sitting in Lon don Then what was said of Irish railways was equally true of Irish banks And when last year in that grim commercial panic which spread from New York to Liverpool bank after bank in England and Scotland went down (revealing stories of fraud and blundering most shameful and humiliating) tbe banks of Ireland stood unscathed and triumphant It is this proud so fully justified by facts of their own fitness to do their own business best which urges the Irish shareholders to get the manage ment of the Transatlantic Steam Packet Company into their own hands And they are unquestionably right That steam packet undertaking is a noble one To the Irish energy and enterprise to which it owes its origin it is most creditable and it will be a deplorable thing if so promising a project is crippled by mis management 'And we have no hesitation in saying that crippled it may be unless the supreme directory of the company be established in Dublin and the board be composed of the' great leading Irish shareholders who their own business best Ju their determination to get the control of this great national for it is nothing less transferred from London to the capital and centre of their nation Dublin tiie Irish shareholders have our cordial sympathy aud we heartily pray that they may succeed When we see what results native energy is already procuring for when we note the great and hopeful fact (hopeful for Ireland but by ro means creditable to English capitalists) that every i zf COURT COMMON PLEAS' (Before the Chief Justice Mr Justice Ball and Mr Justice Christian): Hartnett Lecer MP Mr Curtis applied on behalf of the plaintiff in this cake for liberty to substi tute the writ of summons and plaint by Serving the solicitor and tiie agents of the defendant in Dublin It was an action in which a breach of contract was alleged in not providing the plaintiff with certain necessaries on board one of the vessels of the Atlantic Royal Mail Company in the year 1858 The Court granted the application directing that the writ should be served on the solicitor of the defendant on the Dublin agent of the company and on the de fendant himself through the post O'Connor Reynolds The arguments of counsel on the new trial motion in this case having concluded the court reserved judgment D'Arcy vAshe The court was occupied during the remainder of the day hearing arguments in this case which was at hearing last term COURT EXCHEQUER Chief Baron Baron itzgerald and Baron Hughes sat at half past two They were en gaged up to that time in conference with the judges of the Bench it is believed in reference to cases which had been argued before them in the Court "of Error Harford the' Right Hon Sidney HerberC Secretary at Bar Mr 'Heron for the 'plaintiff "renewed his appli cation 'for liberty to substitute service upon William Roche Esq solicitor Colonel rorne RE and Cap tain Synge RE' for the defendant the Secretary at War The is a builder and brings his action to recover 5307 for works done by him upon a chspel at the Curragh canip'It was swdrn that Col rame and Captain Synge represented the defendant in this very transaction for they had measured and inspected the works sued for Counsel referred also to acopy of the Journal which contained an adver tisem*nt headed War and requiring 'tenders for the completion of the very chapel in ques tion to be sent to the office of Colonel rame at the Castle the district commanding engineer The name paper contained another advertisem*nt headed War and the name at foot was that of Mr Roche It was sworn that a letter was sent on the 11th May to the defendant to the War Office but no answer had been received If the plaintiff could not substitute service he would be driven to sue in England Baron Hughes said the difficulty was this that al though Sidney Herbert was sued in his official capacity yet if the action were successful Mr Herbert would be personally liable even though he ceased to be Secretary at War The Chief Baron said the court should take car? that in the substitution of service both the official and indi vidual capacity of Mr Herbert should be regarded There should therefore be a substitution of service also upon the land and law agents of the defendant Order granted accordingly Brennan Williams and Sergeant itzgib bon moved for a conditional order for a new trial in this case the trial of which terminated on Saturday Tt will be remembered that it was an action for trespass and false imprisonment by the defendants who belongto the constabulary They arrested the plaintiff in April 1858 on suspicion as they stated of larceny The particulars of the case have been published There was a verdict for the plaintiff for 3501 The learned counsel submitted that the defendants had reasonable cause forjwhat they did and were thereby protected The Court after some discussion granted a conditional order COURT PROBATE (Before Judge Keatinge) In the Goods of Malachi Reddican Mr Ilarkan applied to the court to have the service of tiie citation made in this case deemed good service The deceased had been a farmer residing in a place called Sneggan county Sligo and had died leaving a farm and some chattel property which were however incumbered with debts A petition for the sale of the property was presented in the Landed Estates Court and Judge Dobbs made an order directing that a personal representative to the deceased should be raised administration not having been at tiie time taken out to him Counsel referred to ah affidavit of John process server which recited that he had gone to the residence of the parties concerned for the purpose of serving on them a citation requiring them to take out administration Upon his going to the plase a number of people commenced shouting and he was refused admittance to the house Tiie next of kin were three children William Jane and' anny and his widow but he was not able to see any of them and believed they kept out of the way for the puipuov wawivuig ueiugserveu witli the citation He posted copies of the citation on the doors of their dwell ings being unable to lect personal service His Lordship Are they in possession of the property? Mr They are in posesssion of the lands which are to be sold His Lordship said that the service should be deemed good service unless cause was shown to the contrary within four days after the service of the order and that the delivering of the copies of it to the several defen dants or posting the same on their residences be deemed good service Crozier Mr A Purcell applied on be half the defendant for a subpoena to Mr Burkitt at torney to give evidence witli regard to the question of costs The case had been tried in the last after sittings and a verdict returned condemning an imtrammif i on by the defendant as the last true will of Matthew Crozier deceased Since the trial the defendant had dis covered valuable evidence which at the trial would have gono a considerable length in sustaining his case He had ascertained that the deceased had executed a lease to which Mr Burkitt was a witness and that Mr Burkitt had about twenty withjhim in whicli the de ceased had notexhibited any want of intellect His Do you intend to apply fer a new trial Mr No my lord we make the application only for the purpose of showing that we acted bona fide in the matter Tt is only witli respect to tiie costs His lordship Can I for tiie purpose of making a different ruling as to costs go into new evidence Mr Purcell said that the costs were in the discretion of the court and it would be very material in the con sideration of the question of costs that the court should know whether the defendant had reason to believe that the document he propounded was a valid will Judge See what an innovation it would be in ail proceedings of this kind to go into now evidence on the subject of costs which ought to have been brought forward at tiie hearing of the case Mr Purcell It is a matter of importance for Mr Philpot that he should be saved from costs as really lie had very little interest tinder the will We have besides the evidence of Mr Burkitt the affidavits the parties in support of the case made by Mr Philpot at the trial His Lordship I could understand all this if you were moving for a new trial But now you come here with out notice to the opposite party to ask for a most ex traordinary order Can you refer me to any ease in which anything of the kind was done Mr Purcell said that he conceived that the court could receive no evidence as the case lie submitted was stm to come beforerit lhe trial decided by the jury was in the nature of an issue seat from the court and was like an issue sent from the Court of Chancery His Lordship I understand that you acquiescing in the'verdict want to bring fqpvard this evidcnee not to ground an application for a new trial but to save your costs If you wish I will take you down as moving for this subpoena and let it stand for the final consideration of the case Mr Purcell tliat Mr Burkitt was willing to be examined if the court should so direct but he did not wish to volunteer Tiie difficulty was that the grounds on which he applied were such as ought properly speak ing to be relied on in moving fur a new trial The property however was so very small that if there were a new trial it would be swallowed up Judge Keatinge And you would have to begin by paying all the costs of the former trial I am of opinion that granting this application be most dangerous as a precedent 1 will let the case stand over until Wednesday next and in the meantime the defendant can consider whether or not he will apply for a new trial Henry Spring Joanna Spring Townsend ap plied on the part of the plaintiff that the appearance purporting to be put in by the defendant should be set aside The deceased in the case was a farmer resid ing in the county Kerry and died without leaving issue On the 16th bruary the put in a citation and an appearance was put in purporting to be from the defendant who was tiie mother of the deceased It since transpired that she had not authorised any one to put in an appearance for her but that it had been put in by an attorney who had been instructed so to do by one of her sons The attorney in question believed at the time that the young man was authorised by his mo ther to act for her The court granted the application The court will hot sit on Whit Monday and Tuesday that the abuse in question or the causes of it have even yet the rwoiuuon was been removed this part of the matron's statement

consider that the presence of tiie matron when any such scenes ure expected to take place affords the best chance if attended by the exercise of firmness and at tho same time kindness of demeanour on her part for bringing the inmates to a proper sense of their duty The commissioners have been less anxious in making these remarks to vindicate their pre I vious censures of the matron's conduct than

considered by tbe board that day In the mean time fdt that tbe cemniisfioiiers had passed a severe but undeserved censure upon the guardians for their opi nion bf the matron Dr Wall expressed his opinion that the matron had been guilty of great negligence in reference to checking lhe clothing and that the statements of the commis sioners as to her conduct were fully deserved Mr Byrne said the union clothing was under the charge of various male and female officers for whom security was taken He could not understand then how the commissioners could hold the matron respon sible for the clothing in the way they did Dr Wall repeated his statement of the negligence of the matron about the union clothing and mentioned an instance where lie said there was a great loss owing to her neglect tc check the returns Mr Place seconded the motion that the letter be con sidered that day week Passed A pauper inmate named James Hyland was reported by the master for having left his work in the garden and gone into one of the yards also for being found in the possession of a small quantity of He was brought into the board room and iu reply to the chairman ad mitted that he left his work to go into the yard to cool dimself the labour being severe The cocoa was given to him he said by a party who had been in the hou He handed in a letter to the cliairman and after his explanations which were given with an air of superci liousness towards 'the guardians as if he had a limited opinion 'Of them generally withdrew He was for merly it is said in good circ*mstances but has been for some time in the workhouse Tiie Clerk read a letter addressed by Hyland to the commissioners in which lie advanced statements against the master for the way he managed the house and ac cused that officer of not crediting the union with cer tain dinners which paupers who might be temporarily out of tbe house did not partake of Tiie letter which he handed to the chairman contained statements to the same effect Several of the guardians expressed their opinion that Hyland was a turbulent pauper who gave a great deal of trouble and that his statements against the master ought not to be entertained He was called in and re primanded for being in the yard Mr Byrne begged to bring under the notice of the board the following letter which James Hyland had sent to the master: Sir As I will be pn pass this day for the purpose of endeavouring to get employ ment and as it is probable that I will not be back in time for dinner which takes place at two pmJ take notice that I require of you to have my dinner re served for me and such use shall be made of this notice as I may deem (laughter) He (Mr Byrne) on seeing that letter at once wrote across Nd pauper is to have diilner or any other meal unless on the workhouse premises when tiie meal is served except he or she is absent on union business' It was clear that Hyland was on the watch to bring charges against the master who was perfectly free from them The Master produced his book in which were entries of meals returned on various days to the stores Mr Place concurred in the view as to Hyland being turbulent and the master blameless but questioned the legality of not giving a pauper his dinner because he happened to be out at meal time on pass It was proposed to imprison Hyland in the cells for making a false charge against the master but Mr Otway deprecated such a course as being calculated to deter paupers from making complaints when real grounds existed and it was not therefore persevered in inally the whole matter correspondence and all was referred to the visiting committee for a report thereon I THE LATE INQUIRY THE CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN The clerk read the following letters Poor Law Commission Office Dublin 23d May i860 The Commissioners for Administering the Laws for the Relief of thp Poor In Ireland have received the resolution of tlio Guardians of the South Dublin Union relating to that part of the recent inquiry which affects the conduct of the Roman Catholicchailuin stating that as the Poor Law Commis sioners have all the facts of the case before them and as they alone haro the right to appoint and remove officers of this class thqguardlans decline to make any remark or suggestion thereon In the propriety of this course thecommissloners acquiesce on the ground stated in the resolution They have already communicated their own views to the guardians on the Roman Catholic conduct' and they regret to find that the opportunity afforded to that officer for receding from the position in which he has placed himself in regard to the discipline of the workhquse has not been' taken advantage of The commissioners have therefore suggested to tiieRoman Catholic chaplain the propriety of resigning bls office and a copy of their letter to him to that effect is sent liere wuh for tne guardian iniormatIoufli i nw By order of the Commissioners Basks Chief Clerk Law Commission Office Dublin 23d May Revekesd Sib The Commissioner for the Relief of tiie oor in Dublin have considered the letter addressed by you to tiie Guardians of the South Union iu reference to the letter of the commissioners of the 2d instant a copy of which tiie guardians Communicated to you in putsuanceof a request from the commissioners to that effects The commissioners staged in that letter tlist the acquit tal of the male officers COURT CHANCERY TO SOLICITORS AND THE PUBLIC' At the sitting of the court the Lora Chancellor I mentioned yesterday that I would declare this morning what course I considered should bo taken in this case so far as the professional character of Mr I ethers ton II is concerned Mr Brewster QC (of counsel for Mrs If ybnr lordship would allow me to say a word before you enter into the matter I make the statement which I propose to mention with the concurrence of Sergeant LaW son who is now speaking in the Rolls The Chancellor If you please Mr Sergeant Lawson desired me to state that yesterday had an interview with Mrs Orme our client and that she desired him to express to the court her anxious desire that no further proceeding should be taken in this matter that Mr etherston has 'done most ample justice to her and that she and every member of her family are desirous that nothing further should be done Mr Warren QC counsel for Mr etherston (who spoke in such a low tone of voice as to be serreely audible) said in substance that Mr etherston had de clared his determination whatever his legal rights were to act as lie had done towards Mrs Orme so as to do the fullest justice respecting her The Lord Chancellor So far as the interest of Mrs Orme is concerned everything lias been done that jus tice can require but I intimated at the close of the case that th ire remained behind the duty that devolved upon me of onsidering what tiie result of all these transac tions ight be I am placed in regard to that in a double character of great difficulty I am here the head of both branches of the profession I am here may say bound to protect the public and I am here bound to see that every member of these' professions discharges his duty to the public and to the court itself with perfect fidelity with perfect integrity and with perfect absence from any course of conduct which might prejudice the interests of the clients confided to his charge I am fur ther here in this I am a member ex officio of almost an tne public bodies ot winch Mr etherston happens to be the solicitor and I am therefore placed in the difficult position Of determining what course I should individually in one sense and publicly in ano ther advise and pursue I stand in a peculiar position as regards this case I am willing to avoid any course of action which would cast any permanent slur upon the character of the family upon the cha racter of the gentleman himself or upon the profession to which he belongs I am most anxious to avoid that but I do not myself see what course is open by which it can be avoided 1 must leave that for a little time to Mr etherston and his better advisers will there fore let the matter stand over to the last day of this term in order that if possible some course may be taken by him under their advice which may enable me to see that justice is satisfied the public protected and tiie feelings saved of every man who regards the honour of the profession ROLLS COURT Homan Skelton This was a petition for specific performance of a covenant in a lease of 1827 The lease was made by'llosabella to James ojde of certain lands in the county Louth and tho covenant in respect of whicli the petition wasfiled provided that Rosabelia should if she entitled so to do either separately or jointly with others entitled grant to James orde his heirs and assigns a lease of the said lands for a longer term than was given in the lease then executed This was to be done at tiie request and cost of James orde his heirs or assigns and the longer term was not to exceed tnree lives but with a covenant for perpetual renewal on payment of a pepper corn as a fine on the fall of each life The petitioner seeking to have this covenant in the original lease car ried out is a judgment creditor of Robert who became entitled to the interest The respondent represents the interest of Rosabella1 The de fences first that this was a personal covenant of Rosabella and is not binding upon the estate secondly that the right having accrued in 1827 it is now barred by the statute of limitations It was further relied upon that James in respect of whom as well as of Robert the petitioner claimed had made a watercourse on the premises which it was contended was waste and was a forfeiture of the right to the lease sought to be obtained and it was submitted that the petitioner had no right to sue he be ing merely a judgment creditor and having no light in the lands Laches were further relied upon as defences In order tb prove that the lands increased in value Bv flin maLinrr a flin zixuma VA UAAXz IIMGVl VVUkOC IU JUQ9tAUU i Neville County Surveyor of Louth was examined Mr Christopher Mulvany Engineer of the Grand

o'clock their lordships having been engaged in consultation with the Barons of the Exchequer in reference to a case which had been argued before them in the Exchequer Chamber' ay the City of Dublin Steam Packed Company In this case which had been argued on the previous day ahd the facts of which have been published in the reeman The Chief Justice aid tliat the court had con sidered the case very fully and had arrived at an una nimous Jopinion upon the main portion o'it There was a small portion of the case however which did not involve essentially the merits upon which they had not been able to make up their minds namely the question as to 32 which hod been paid by the plaintiffs in pro viding food for cattle The court would defer giving judgment in order to give tiie parties an opportunity of coming to some arrangement on that point Mr Ball QC who appeared for the Stcampacket Company said that they would have no objection to pay that sum which was all the plaintiffscould expect After some conversation the case was allowed to stand until the next day J' Kiddv Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway Company Mr Hamilton moved for a conditional 'order fora" mandamus to compel the Dundalk and Enniskillen Rail way Company to remove an obstruction to a county road whicli they had intersected by their railway and had thereby stopped up so as to prevent it being used by the public The road in question was presented for at an extraordinary presentment in 1846 and which was to be made by the Board of Works The lino had been marked ont and the land purchased and in the year 1854 tiie grand jury of the county ermanagh made a presentment for the completion of the road Before the year 1846 the Dundalk and Enniskillen Company get their act of parliament but their plans and specifica tions did not embrace any pbrtionof the towrilands through which the road rartfbht by a sopoml act which they ob tained these townlands were included and by their plans and speci fications which ere lodged in 1 857 they proposed to raise the connty road nine feet and to cross it at the level They had made their railway but instead of raising the road which they were bound to do by the act they had built permanent fences on each side of the railway and cut off the road from public traffic The county surveyor would not take up the road from the contractor until these fences were removed and the road raised but although frequent application had been made to the railway company they had refused to do anything I Their Lordships found some difficulty in the absence of a plan of' the proposed works in making the order sought and postponed the case for the production of a copy of the plans and specifications DISPATCHES (rom the Evening reeman of last night) GARIBALDI'IN SICILY

people not knowing who had landed but the authorities had despatched 2000 troops to follow up 1000 by sea and 1000 by land It appears that Garibaldi ran into Marsala about 3 pm and steered direct for the pier Each man had two breech loading rifles a revolver and sword and there were eight waggons and four guns The whole were landed in one hour and a half All but about 400 were in Marsala before the Neapolitan steam ers opened fire About twenty minutes after they entered Marsala the Neapolitan steamers came up and sent a boat on board one of the English men of war we had two there the Argus and to ask if it was an English force landing Receiving an answer in the negative the boat returned and the vessels ran in beating to quarters but it was some time before they began to fire and not till all the troops had quitted the vessels They gave one or two lame excuses for this such as that they feared to fire lest they should kill some of the crews of the English men of war who were on shore or they feared to damage the property of Mr Ingham and Mr Wood house near which the men landed as the English govern ment always insisted on the Neapolitans paying very higlilyfor any damage done by them to any property Tho Neapolitan captain sent on board the Argos requesting the captain to send on board the two Sardinian steamers and demand their surrendering This the captain declined stating that he had to keep the most rigid neutrality The Neapolitan boats then very cautiously approached the Sardinian steamers and with great care and much watching one man was at length bold enough to ascend the side and shortly after he was seen brandishing his sword with muclt ges ticulation and proclaiming the steamer a prize Not a word was on board both vessels had been com pletely abandoned To return to Garibaldi he imme diately telegraphed his arrival at Messina and then destroyed the wires hastily armed 700 volunteers who offered at Marsala and on the 12th set out towards

water is liable to become mixed ith it find in marine cables when covered with ropeyam and iron wire these faults have hitherto been detected only after submersion By the plan of Mr Reid however all such defects nre alleged to ba certain to be discovered A coil of gutta pereha? from one mile to five is placed in a strong cylinder that can be made air and water tight The first operation is to exhaust the cylinder when a vacuum is formed a column of water is allowed to rush in and fill up all the holes and crevices formerly filled with air The cable is in this state tested with a delicate galvanometer and noted A pressure is then applied equal to the pressure of a column of water the height of which is equal to the depth of the sea where the cable is intended to be laid whetherit be: the Atlantic or any other This is continued for acer tain time when the wire is again tested Ontherpres sure being removed another testing takes place and it is affirmed that if the smallest defect in the insulating medium or mechanical injury however minute and in visible to tho naked eye then exists its detection is inevitable The disease can accordingly be removed or repaired and the manufacture proceeded witli inally it appeal's that the whole expense of the testing tails short of 5s per cent of the cost for making jhe Times of yesterday Luxuriant A sample of grass growwon tho lauds of John
