Alderman Blunt made an ineffectual attempt to get the Board to authorize Messrs. Whit- ing and Clark to act as counsel for the city free of expense, they having procared a stay of proceedings ‘on the execution on their own behalf. A long com munication was read from the Counsel to the Corpo- ration, giving a history of the whole case, blaming the Comptroller for refusing to pay the jadgment and recommending that he be compelled to pay. The communication was received, ani after some discussion adopted and five thousand copics ordered printed. A resolution was adopted authorizing the Counse! to the Corporation to compel the Comp. troller to pay the judgment, ‘The Fire Commissioners held their regular semi. weekly meeting last night, but no basisess of any importance was transacted. The Commissioners were not prepared to go into an investigation of the firemen’s fight in Nassau street on last Sunday even- Ing, and it was reserved for a future meeting. Harry Howard bas been lying dangerously sick for the pas’ four or five days. Yesterday morving his eondition was so low that his recovery was con- sidered doubtful, but he was reported better last night. Mr. Howard fortunately possesses an iron constitation, which is not likely to succumb to dis- ease, unless it be of a very desperate character. Another meeting in defence of the municipal rights of the city wae held in the Sixteenth ward last evening, at which the greatest enthusiasm was matifested. Resolutions denouncing the proceed ‘ings of the late black republican Legislature were unanimously passed, and strong speeches were made by Stephen H. Dillaye, Wm. J. Rose, Major Hen- | neasey, Mr. Swackhamer, Dr. Chadsey, of Schenecta- dy, and several others, which, togetber with several | bumorous songs,sung by Col. Hickcox, were received with the greatest manifestation of approval, after which the meeting adjourned at a late hour. The inquest on Margaret Dale, the person who ‘was so mysteriously buried at Shrewsbury some days since, was continued at Elizabethport yester day afternoon, when several witnesses were sworn, the principal of whom were Mrs. Ann Couover, wife of Dr. Conover, with whom deceased lived, and sister of Margaret, and Dr. Baldwin, one of the physicians who made the post mortem examination of the remains. The testimony of Mrs. Conover in many material points is quite important, giving, as it does, a succinct statement of the manner in which Margaret was affected from the day subse. quent to her falling overboard, as narrated by Dr. Conover at Shrewsbury, until her final death, which seems rather to favor the theory that she must have | died of sun stroke and congestion of the lungs. It appears from Mrs. Conover's statement, that the day preceding ber death was unusually warm, and that Margaret had been sitting inthe sun with no hood or bonnet on, and had complained considerably of distress in the bead dnring the afternoon. She also relates the particular manner in which her mind seemed to be deranged. An anonymous letter was yesterday received by Dr. Baldwin informing him that Dr. Conover stopped at the Highlands, just below Portsmouth dock, and placed a box on board of a market sloop, command: | ed by Charles Mills, for New York, as freight, but that the captain being suspicious that ali was not | right, refused to receive it, and that the Doctor then took and placed the box in his small boat again and | went up as far as Union, where be wanted to hire a man named Daniel Campbell to bury it, and would pay him well for it, but that he refusing, the Doctor employed 4 fisherman named Court Patterson to pi- | lot hia boat to Elizabethport. The inquest will pro- bably be conolnded to-day, as all the witnesses, ex- cepting Mra, Macknet and Dr. Green, have been ex- amined. They will be examined at 2 o'clock this af- ternooo, The excitement in relation to this strange affair throughout the vicinity of Union, Essex and Clinton counties, New Jersey, is most intense. The Commissioners of Health met yesterday. ‘Dr. Reed, of Llinois, handed in his communication ‘in regard to unwholesome meat. The purport of it ‘was the same as that given in yesterday's Henan. It was referred to the Resident Physician and the President of the Board of Councilmen. Dr. R. stated that he wished to obtain aid from the city, or some acientific persons, to make a thorough investi- gation of the matter. The schooner Volante, from ®t, Thomas, was ordered to discharge at Quaran- tine, The schooner Porto Cabello having returned from New Haven, where she went to avoid quaran- tine, will be allowed to proceed on Satarday, if all is correct. Dr. Thompson reported additional sick- ‘ness on board the bark Oaklend, from Havana, ‘The Board rescinded the permit previously given her to proceed on Saturday, and ordered that she be Getained at the discretion of the Health Officer. An interesting report upon a trial of breech load- ing rifles at West Point is necessarily crowded out by the pressure of other mattor, It is by far the ‘most important and extensive trial of firearms that has ever taken place in America Over twenty-five breech loading guna of different modela were upon the ground. The experiments were conducted be- fore « competent military board. Nearly one half of the recently returned Nicara- Quans have heen sent to their homes by private sub- scription, or the tender of free tickets on the routes leading thereto. A mass meeting is announced for this afternoon at 4 o'clock, to take some measures FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1859. for relloving the. necessities of the remaingor, oum-|-doubt.

On the eve of the consummation of the grandest work which has ever been attempt- ed by the genius and enterprise of man, we have thought it a fitting cccasion to collect together all the facts connected with the frst application of electricity to the telegraph, and to carry down the record to the latest accounts of the progress of this magnificent project. It wili be seen from this that within the last dozen years ecience has, in the perfection of the telegraph system, doce more to advance the interests of humanity than duriag any whole century of its labors. Even the sao- cess of steam navigation pales into insignificance before the advantages resulting from the rapid intercommunication of ideas between nations (o which the ocean telegraph is destined to produce, What commerce has hitherto ef- fected by slow degrees, this new auxiliary will accomplish with the swiftuess almost of thought itself. To enable the mind to gtarp the marvellous changes which it will bring about, we have given not only the past his- tery of the European and American telegraphs, but also a statement of all the propoeed connec- tions, Atrican and Asiatic, which at no very distant day will complete the chain of clectric communication round the globe. It would appear from the calculation that we have made, that of overland and sabmarine teic- graphs there are completed and in progress of construction at the present time— Uniied Stater, (overland). .... South Awerioa, (over lana) .. Europe (overlend)...... Tedia (overland)... Submarino (Tarope and Amoriss, This aggregate wil! be increased 1,700 miles by | the completion of the Atlantic telegraph, Of the Puropean and Indian telegraphs not more than from six to seven thousand miles of the lines com- menced are unfinished, and the next six mouths will probably see them all in operation, In the estimate of the American telegraphs above given, none but the lincs actually completed are included. The nine hundeed and fifty miles of submarine lines are also finished. This statement will enable us to form some idea of the immediate as well as pro- epective results to which the succesful completion of the Atiantic telegraph will lead. Within a fortnight from the present time, leaving out of the calculation the Indian and European lines which are unfiaished, we may anti- cipate that the cable which is now being laid from Europe to Newfoundland will place in connec- | tion nearly eighty thousand miles of telegraph. | By means of the submarine cables across the Bri- | tish channel we will then be able to communicate | with almost every capital in Earope, and, if ne. | ceseary, even with the Crimea. The inhabitants | of St. Petersburg and Moscow, as well as those of | the Southern capitals of the Earopean continent, will, in their tarn, be enabled to transmit mes- sages to all the principal cities of British North America and the United States as far South | as the Gulf of Mexico. These are the imme- | diate results on which we may reckon. | But casting our eye over the liges in constrac- | tion, or which are projected with a reasonable | prospect of execution, the mind loses it- | self in the contemplation of the vast) revolutions to which they must lead in the political and commercial relations of the world. Let us first, however, examine what those | lines are. First, there is the continuation of the submarine line from Sardinia to Bona, a distance } of only 125 miles, which will place Southern Eu- rope inconnection with the Northwestern coast | of Africa. Next, are two companies orga- nized for the construction of lines connecting India with Eagland by telegraph, both taking | their point of departure from Alexandria, and | connecting with the Indian lines at Kartachoe. | One of these, the Red Sea line, has received valuable concessions, and although the Euphrates Valley route has obtained no privilege from the | Porte as yet, London capitalists appear to be equally sanguine in favor of that project. A third | scheme proposes to connect Australia with India by telegraph, by way of Penang, Singapore, Ba- tavia and King George's Sound. Thus the three other great divisions of the globe will be placed in direct telegraphic communication with our own, provided the experiment now being made on the bed of the Atlantic be successfully carried “ out. It is impossible to speculate with anything like calmness or certainty on the results of the realization of these magnificent schemes, That they will have an important influence on the happiness and prosperity of the nations drawn to- gether in this close connection, there can be no tends to promote the activity of trado, it follows that commerce ge#eral y wusi Le largely bene- fitted by it both iu the multiplication and greater certainty of Ys operations. The -pirit of apecula- tion wil, however, receive a check in the eurtail- ment of the intervals of time clapsing between the arrivals of the foreign steamers, and the reckless erd imprudent will not in future have such a wide Jatitude for the grutifieation of their pas- sion for gambling. One of the greatest benefits, however, which will be derived from the ocean telegraph will be the influence whieh it will ex- ercise over the grain markets of the world. Rapid ond certain infurmation concerning the condition of the crops, the yield of the harvests and the ruling prices of breadstafts, cannot fuil to control holders and to keep down prices gene- relly. Were it attended with no other resalt then this, it would be worth all the expenditure of scientific labor and money which it has cost. On the political rejatfons of the world we baieve that these improved facilities of com- mvnication will exreise a still happier effect if misunderstandivgs betwecn gevernments are frequently caused by the difficulty of promptly interchanging their views, it is obvious that whatever tends to remove tuat obstacle and to facilitate a mere frequent exchange of sentiments betwe¢an statesmen will ciminish the dagger of natioual differences. How much, for instance, of the irritation and resentrent caused by the blun- Gers of Mr. Crampton on the enlistment question might have been avoided had the Atlantic tele- graph been in operation! The: another interest, however, which will be mcre largely gratificd by it than aay to whieh we have referred, and that is the numerous class of gcssips at both sides of the Atlantic, to whom a ‘newtpnper is an almost howly ecessiiy, and who live upon the excitement created for them by the steamer or the telegraph. We can p'cture to ourselves the all absorbing eagerness with which these our mos vajucd patrons wil look in our columns for the first operations of the uew Hne—the price of con- sols on the Loudon Exchange—a speech of Lord Palmerston in the House, appealing for American sympathy on the Indian revolt--or a success of the American horse Pryor—all oocurrences of the Frevicus dey. Taretucn we may be enabled to forwaid the London gobe-mouches an account of another Burdell baby farce--the positively last decision in the Devlin and Conover case—or the news of « fresh filibustering expedition by Walker. We have only attempted to shadow out faintly | the multiplicity of interests that will be bene- fitted by the success of this magnificent en- terprise. That all the benefits anticipated will immediately flow fro;n it would be too much to | expcet. The rate at which messages will be transmitted—a dollar a word—is too high for | mary to be able to profit by it at first. When, | however, it is satisfactorily demanetrated that | reduced rates will pay larger profits—the com. | pany will not be slow to extend the circle of their customers, even though vis will necessitate , the corstruction of additional cables, Until then let us be thaukful for the important advantages which we shall derive through their efforts. Tae Ansenat Prorerry—Saie Postpoxen— | Cavse or tae Divricuiry.—We poblished anu article in yesterday's Herany, narratisg recent proceedings in relation to the Arsenal pro- perty situated within the Central park. The purebase by the city baying been tempora- rily defeated in the manner described by us, the sale by public auction was to have taken place yesterday at the Merchants’ Exchange. Of couyse the speculators were on hand, anxious- ly awniting the putting up of the property. They were, however, disappointed. The Corpo- ration Counsel had procured an injunction so | ee ago as the 24th of June last, forbidding the | | fale | tecond doy of the general term of the Supreme This injunction is not returnable until the Cout, ia September, unless a motion should in | the meantime be regularly made to remove or continue it. Such motion has not been made, and consequently the injunction is still in fail force. A notification thereof made to the auc- tioneer prevented the sale yesterday, and it has been therefore postponed till the 17th of Sep- tember, The whole cause of the difficulty in the com- pletion of the purchase is this—-the property has | been aseersed come eight or nine thousand dol- | lars for the expenses of the Central park. The | question is, which shall pay this assessment, the | city or the State? The Commissioners of the | Land Office insist that it must be paid by the city, because the law under which they act is im- perative that they shall convey the property to | the city on payment of $275,000. On the other hand, the ordinance of the Common Council | directing the purchase, authorizes the payment of but $275,000 on the receipt of a valid con- veyance of the property, free from all incum- brarce. Of course, if itbe subject to an assess- ment of eight or nine thousand dollars it is not “tree from all incumbrance,”’ and hence the Cor- poration Counsel cannot approve a deed con- taining the condition that the city shall pay this assessment. The simple and proper course is for the Com- mon Council immediately to take the necessary steps to discharge or arsume the assesstnent, and then all difficulty in the matter will have been removed. Avyorner Ksow Noruive Catt. vor a New Partr.—The Louisville Journal, (Kaow Nothing.) utterly disheartened by the late Southern elec- tions, joins the Richmond Whig in calling for a new national party of the conservatives, North and South, opposed to the administration and the further agitation of the slavery question. But these Southern gentlemen are a little too fast. We must first lmve the solution of the Kansas ixsue in Congress, before we can have a recon- struction ; and it would very much facilitate this solution if our Southern Know Nothings, anxious for a new conservative national party, would come forth and sapport the conservative Kansas policy of the administration, At all events, it is a little too soon yet for the organization of a great conservative party upon the remains of the Know Nothing camp. Tarr Wit.
