Already there are many projectors and competitors in the Geld, some to ‘work the old rope, some to make anew, [tig not eheer- ing Wo find that public attention is almost instinctively direeted to the consideraticn of the latter project, and that, to the hopes and expectations of the majority, the present wire—laid at such a cost, and with such risks—is already regarded ag virtually lost and useless. Amnong those who have come forward with remedies for overcoming the difficulties of the Attantic, in case a new rope is required, is Mr. Rowett, who, that thore may bo no mistake about the matter, expresses himself as willin, to contract to lay the rope from Vatentia to Newfoundiand, everything included, for a3 smailasum as £182,000, or £200,000 less than the capital expended by the Adantic Company, Such an offer has naturally directed some attention to Mr. Rowett’s plan, which is simply that of a rope-covered electric wire instead of the oid mode of proceeding by a wire-covered rope, Mr. Rowett’s idea ig to have the conductor well and safely insulated with gutta percha, and then simply enclosed’ without further preparation in the strands of a common hemp cable about an inch in dinmeter. A picce has already been made—not with a view of sumaring what would be necersary for the Atlantic depths, but to illustrate the peculiar advantages which such a mode of construction gives over the wire cabie, This specimen is certainiy as light, as flexible as strong a8 could be desired, and thee three qualities must be the very sine qua non with all future Atlantic telegraph. ‘the cost of such a cable would be only, as Mr, Rowett alleges, £86 per mile, its weight about Sowt., and its breuking strain four tons, or nearly twice as much ax could ever come upon’ it while being submerged— nO matter what the state of the weather, or how the vessel might be plunging. To this particu- lar rope, a8 we have said, a certain amount of attention has lately been directed, owing, no doubt, to Mr. Rowett’s offer to take it in working order across the ocean to America for a regular contract price per mile. But, beyond the feeling due to an offer of such magnitude, and made with such confidence of success, neither the proposal or the rope deserve tbe notice they have at- tracted. Mr. Rowett’s idea of a rope covered wire is by ho Means a new one, and, what is moro to tho purpose, the cable is almost without exception far inferior in most important requisites to others that were designed some time before this was thought of. It is light, strong and fiexible, out xo are all such ropes, and so even is the pre- sent Atlantic cable (if we may still call it so) in a very high degree, The difference between Mr. Rowett’s rope and ok of the same kind is, that iv the former no adequate protection is given to the gutta percha, and never can be given by his method of stranding the hemp, whereas with all others this important point is carefuily considered and provided for. For these and for other reasons which show the cable to have been designed and constructed by a person unacquainted with what a sab- marine telegraph requires, it is of its kind an inferior cable, though it has certainly done good service in di- recting attention to the general question of rope covered wires for the purpose of deep sea telegraphy. All the experiments in very deep seas tend to show that the principle of @ rope-covered wire is the right one after all. For any depth ander 1,000 fathoms a wire rope is the best and cheapest; for great depths—2,000 and 3,000 fathome—it becomes the dearest, because ‘the worst and most difficult to submerge. No man who has ever seen a deep sea wire laid but must have been convinced that covering the rope with wire was only making a difficulty which required all the costly apparatus of paying-out ma- chines, Drakes and check tackle to contend against, and which in but too many instances it has ben im: possible totally to overcome, Any one, also, who has ever crossed the Atlantic, would. e1 to pay out a ece of common whipcord, without breaking it, from reland to America; because in such a case there would be no strain on it, and it could ran out as fast as it choso, ‘This ought to be the principle in which all very deep sea ropes should be laid down everywhere. A rope-covered wire, ligbt enough to be very ‘cheap, and because light therefore strong. with such a coil running from a steamer going ten miles or go an hour, adozen cables might be laid across the Atiantic ina twelvemonth if no other difficulties exist. It has beon urged that such ropes, if moved by currents at the bottom of tho sea, woul chafe through at once; bat, besides that this objection pao equally to wire, there exists proof positive that in the greater depths of the ocean the water is as motion- Jess at the bottom as the rocks on which it rests, During the soundings taken by the Gorgon, shells of he omg delicate: Lage Co Ha Pophyed at was imn- possible to perceive them without o magnifying power, were brought up. Yet these shells, even to their finest ridges, were uninjured, and had evidently lain with: out movement in those tremendous depths for ages. Another proof is, that whenever the strain upon the sound it line prevented bottom being at once discovered, and some 100 or 120 fathoms more line were payed out after the lead bad touched, it was always known to the foot what surplus had gone over, aa the line invariably sunk, ‘on the spot whore the lead had grounded, and came up jms tangled mass like a ball of cord, Such results could never have been obtained had there been any motion far below the surface, Bot a question arisos with regard to rope.cnverod wire, and, indeed, subtnarine cables of all kinds if iaid at very great depths, and that # how far the preseure or weight ofthe supermeowbent mass of water affects the gatwa pereba insulater. We may doubt the question whether water increases in density or whether it is compressible; but none can deny that it has weight at least, and this weight comes upon the hotter of the ocean and whatever reste there. The very minute and perfect shells being found at the bottom does uo more to disprove such « suppanition than an ompty egy-shell shows that there can be no such thing as au atmospheric pressure of fifteen pounds to the square inch. In both cases the pressure of water and air is equal inside and out. But in the case of the gutta percha insulater it is uot so, aud the Water press- ing w.th Immense external force would penetrate in many places where the guard hemp was at ail injured, and 60 gradually penetrate the substauce of the gutta percha as to reach the copper wire and geriousiy weaken its con. decting powers. We do not say that such an action does take piace, but if it is even possible, it would at onoe do away W th the fasibility of such rope covered wires as Mr. Rowett proposes. in any case, his plan of coustruct ing his rope i, as we bave said, inferior to many others of the same hun.

BY THURGRAPH FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL. - Loxpos, October 2—Noon. A grand review took place yesterday at Paris in presence of the Emperor and Emprese, The troops con- sisted of ten batallions of the Imperial Guard, amounting to 6,000 mea, Their Majesties wore received with great enthnsiaem, both by the military and by the people. The Moniteur of this morning contains a decree extend. ing to the 30th of September noxt year tho decree of Sep- tember, 1857, relative to the importation of foreign grain. It is again stated in the continental journals that tho question of the regency of Prussia ts stil! not settled. The Queen and her party, it is said, have induced the King to offer the Prince of & simple extension for six months of hie present unsatisfactory powers, and it ie observed that if the Prince were to these terms the matter would be quickly terminated, and the 8 rty overthrown. The Journal des Debates to-day is, pwever, of the opinion that at lator period the dim onities of the case have been vanquished. The nobility of the government of Voor, in Russia, who ‘were among the firet to form committees for the emanci. pation of tho serfs, have lately rent an ardress to the Em- poror praying that the measure might not be carried into fect in that provines, The Emperor did not receive the drees favorably, and replied thatthe measure should be executed, notwithstanding any opposition of the nobility. "he emancipation, the Fmperor is said to have replivt, will be carried into effect simultaneousty throughout the: whole of the «mpire, and that he would not allow any part of it to be deprived of the benefit of it, During his jour- ney the Emperor would not accept of any féte on the part of the nobility where they have shown themselves hostile to the measure.

Piccolomini in New York. ‘The steamship North Star, which arrived bere yeator day, brought the latest sensation prima dmna, Mile. Marietta F Jomini, who is duly consigned to Mr. Uliman by the director of Her Majesty's theatre, London. Mile Toccolomins is accompanied by several members of her family , and ha’ or a suite of ten persons, and a pyremid of baggage eutticient to wet up half a down po- fesgioval Saratoga belles. She proceeded to the apart ments whieh had been previously secured for hor at the Union Place Hotel, where she will remain for the present. Her début will take place at the Aca: demy on Wednesday next, in “La Traviata,’ the réle in which she made her great London sucess. Mlle, Piccolomini has suffered only slightly trom sea sickness, and looks remarkably woll. The career of this artist is so well known in the United States, throagh the numerous publications that have been made iu the TirRatp in relation to her movements, that it is hardly ne ¢ rsary todo more than to draw public attention to the leading poiuts in her history, Mile. Piccolomini’s career onthe #tage dates back only about five or six years nearly three of which have been spent in Loudon, whore the is truly called the pet of the public, She has not yet complcted ber twenty second year, and is a handsome binuctte, with a p ite, plump and symmetrical figure, The fascination of her manner upon the stave {8 the great scoret of the enthusiasm with which she infects the audience. Jn Italy her ardor and impulsiveness astonished an audience which is proverbial for the decided way in which it condemns what is bad and rewards what is good. In England, Ireland and Scotland Mile, Piccolomini bas always walked upon flowers, and now, like a feminine Alexander, she comes to conquer the New World, It is not our purpose to attempt to forestall the opinion of the public, but simply to record her arrival, and to say briefly who she is. Next Wednesday night will show whether our people will not be equally as enthusi astic a t ¢ fastidious audiences 0 the Old World, On board the North Star Mile. Piccolomini sang at a con- cert, the receipts of which were given to the sailors and firemen, who, when she left the ship, manned the yards and bid her adieu with three rousing cheers, Her inst appearance in England was at a concert at the Crystal Palace on the 28th September, of which performance the Times (20th) says:— Aconcert, chiefly of Ttalian vocal music, was_given esterday afternoon in the ventral transept of the Crystal Patace, t ¢ principal singers being Mademoiselle Picvolo mini, Signors Giuglini, Aldighieri, Roesi, and Custelli, from Her Majesty’s Theatre. The band—that belonging to the Sydenham establizhment—was conducted by Signor Arditi, Mr. Lamley’s own orchestral director ; and there was a sort of fashionable opera-tone about the entire proceedings. The occasion derived peculiar interest from the fact that it was Mademoiselle Piccolomini’s last appearance previous to her departure for America, to- wards whicu hospitable ani music loving country she directs her steps this day. ‘Mademoiselle Piccoloiini'’s farewell to England”? was the prominent line tn the bilis,and as the admirers of the vivacious and energetic little prima donna are legion, there was, iu accordance with gencral expectation, an immense attendance. Every reserved place had been secured in advance, the total numbor pre sent being not far short of 10,000, ‘The following will show ot what) the entertainment was composed :— PARTI of Rochelle’?

The Valorous comes here fer the purpose of conveying Sir Wiliam Gore Ouseley to Central America, as Special Prvoy from England, He was immediately notified of her arrival. He bas been in town several days awaiting her coming, ant will probably be ready for departure in about a week, Sir Gore Ouseley and Lord Napier, who is also, we believe, in town, will, it is likely, visit tho Valorous to-day. ‘The Valorous has become famous aa one of tho AUlantic cable expedition.

She was boarded about nine o'clock by a special reporter from this office, who was received in tho Kindest and most courteous manner by ber commanter, Captain Aldham. It was owing purely to fortuitous cir cumstances that the Valorons touched at Fayal, as she had no orders to that effet. Having met with considerabl: detention from head winds and bad weather generally, Captain Aldham determined to put into the Azores for the purpose of replenishing bis stock of coals, and it was on his arrival at Fayal that he learned, from the sur. vivore themselves, the terrible fate of the Austria, He at onco tendered a passage to New York in his vessel to any of tho rescued passengers, which was of courte gladly aecepted by them. A portion of the crew, however, who were caved, chose to remain at Payal, and await an opportunity for returning to Hamburg. One of the Indice broug!.t by the Valorous was the mother of four children, a’ of whom were lost. Among ti viving passengers of the Austria by this arrival here are Mr. R. V. Durfeldt, acivil engineer, em ployed in the silver and gold mines of Peru; Dr. Herbert Sheek, Mr. F. H. Lita, a lawyer ; Mr. George Kahimann and Mr. W, Recher. These gentlemen messed wit! the wardroom officers of the Valorous on the passagy fran Fayal, and from their statements Captain Aldham dim. piled the following concise but interesting narrative of the destruction of the Austria, which he has permitted us copy — The Austria left Hamburgfon the 1st of September, 1868, for New York, with a crew of 102 men, including officers, and 460 pargengers—firet and second cabins all fall.

Owing to tha stoong draught of air through the scuttle on the deck, the tre spread with great rapidity towards he main hatchways, and filled tho engine room with smoka and flame, suffocating the euginoers and stokers, who were prevented working the engines or stopping them. from the main hatchways the flames soon caught tho ‘ight and dry bulkheading of the offvers? cabins, from thence, like lightning, itepread aft towards the grand sa oons and up on deck, setting tire Wo the mamnmast,rigying, aud the two boats on each wile of the cigguig, thus com pletely cutting off the fore from the aiter pact of the ship, © that the officers, who were all in the fore part, could hot pet aft to render assistance or to give orders for the disposal of the boats.

The boats were algo su se~ cured that none of the passengers knew how ww lower them. The two foremost boats on either ekie bemg before the fire, were lowered by the officers wad crew; one rafely placed in the water, but the owber was destroyed, ‘The two midship boats on either side were in flames, and the three after ones were 80 enveloped with smoke and heat that few dared w go near them. Some attempta were made to lower them which did nut succeed, and the great rush of persons towards them and in thein caused them to turn over, and many were repeatedly thrown out of them into the sea by this meaus. The tackle of ono boat was so let go that it hung ap and down by the other end, and was dragged throagh the water, wraing over and over by the sumber of persons tying to gut into it, Many of the passengers clung W the boas as long as they could, but wore swept away; others, dropping down by the tackie upon these banging underneath, obliged thers U let go: others again, trying the same method, shared the sane fate, Ropes were hanging over the side, and tw those the pasauagers: clung; but as the numbers increased on the upper part of the ropes, and strove to slide down thetn w Koop clear of the smoke and flame, the pressure became too great foe those underneath, who, becoming exhausted by being dragged through the water, let go ther hokis, and sank to raise no more, The greatest confusion eusied, odpa- cially in the after part of tho ship, where the thames and smcke povred in in intense volumes.
