J. C. Proprietor. The Co/npany has done something more substantial than merely to obtain eharters. It hns proceeded to act vigorously thereon, having purchased the steamer Vi Gloria ami sent her to Newfoundland with an engineer and assistants. The whole oi last season six hundred men were engaged in cutting the road across Newfoundland, a distance of four - hundred miles. In doing so, three mineralogists employed by the Company to explore the county, disC covered two mines o! coal, one of lead, and quarries of slate and alabaster, besides vary valuable tracts of ship timber, Those discoveries will, of OfDur?e, tend to populate the line of the road, and make the telegraph valuable. The roost important achievement oi the Company's agent is thus narrated by the New York Evangelist:"In London he formed a contract with the Transtlamio Telegraph Company, composed of English and French capitalists, whereby the latter engaged to construct and lay down at their own expense and risk a rfubmarrins cable, extending from Ireland to St. John'# Newioundland, and to have it completed for operation on or before the 22d day oi January, 1858. The two companies, European and American, each will own the line which it constructs, but their contract obliges them to operate in connection with each other, to the exclusion of all other lines, for the period of fifty years, which is the limit of ihe American company's charter. At the same time, a favorable contract was made for the submarine oaMe to connect Newfoundland with Cape Breton. This will bo seventy four irtilis 'ottg', and is to bfe ready on the laat this month, when il will be shipped direct to Newfoundland. Tpe steamer Victoria sailed a few days since for St. John's, with Mr. Ellis, the Chief Engineer, and his assistants. The company confidently expeot to have telegraphic communication established between New York octl St. John's in the course iOf fhis summer. All the neceasnry harbor and wbarf accomodations have been secured at,,tfy*yDort for the steamers which are to call there on their trips between America and Eurppe. St. Johns is about two days nsarer to England than Halifax. We-have therefore every reason to believe that in three months 'the' old world and the new will be within a week's hail of'each oth^r—and that within three years the two hemisphere* will be in instantaneous comtnvntealion."

Th« price of «ach machine will not exceed P290f. for men, and ll)0(H lor women. !l the experiment succeeds Don Diego will take out a patent, and will make the sale of the machine a branch ol commerce. Although greatly astonished at this new invention, several of the mem bers of the Academy- have p timed out the inconvenience ol b'ringingin|} it into general use.

BEVAN, Wholesale Liquor Merchants. I notice that the practice which I condemn is one which has had its origin entirely amongst modern writers. Look at old Homer. There is a model for vou, ye lawless, merciless potentates the pen, who fling your heroes to Boreas and Eurus as Eastern nabobs lots their slaves to the wild elephants, "just for lun." Does Agamemnon ever get cuight in a shower t Does Hector ever crash the helmet of one of the "shepherds of the people" in the climax of a thundergust? Is tho swift looted Achilles ever vailed on to receive a volley ot Lycian arrows and a peck «f hailstones at tho same moment, or to scud betore.a squall, and behind a fast running volunteer cetnpany of young Trojans—the "Paris Blues," or the " Pargamus Fueil. eers" at one and the same time f No. Indeed. Homer has a pleasing diversity of weather, and dispenses unusual phenome. na with much liberality, but all these things occur in their proper places. Warfare is not embarrassed with waterspouts, and love is not pelted with raw sleet. Jove sits on Olympus and rolls his thunder in mid-battle time, Hut he does not roll it among the combatants as if they were hit nine pins. Nnptune smites the hills with his trident, hut the earthquake which rocks the pines of Mount Ida does not upset the herons on the banks of Snamander. Suppose now that Homer had adopted the modern dogmas about "apiriled writing," and had mixed op an indiscriminate oor eloraera'ion of thunder convulsion and warfare! —'TTToTw HITNIiY, M. D.

A certain old gentleman had three sons, the two eldest were remarkable for their filial piety and ohedienco, and were conwqtiently beloved hy all who knew them. The youngest, on the contrary, was an incorrigablo scapegrace, and ivas haled as much 08 the others were loved. The old gentleman, in the common course of human events, got sick, and assembled hi* family about him, 10 have his will read in their prescnco. It was as follows.—" To my eldfrst son, William, i bequeath all my household property, 8c.," to which William exolaimed " Father, 1 hope you may live to enjoy it yourself." v " To my seoond son, Edward, 1 bequeth all moneys now in my banker'* hands, together with my house and household furniture." The second son also replied in the same tnanfif r as the first, " Father, ( hope you may live long aod happy to etijoy it yourself."— Then turning to the youngMt, who was waiting in silent anticipation for his divis ion of the property, he said, " And as for you, you profligate scoundrel, I leave you a shilling to buy a rope to hang yourself." To thn surprise and consternation of all present, he answered in the same pious strain of the others, " Father, I hopo you will live long and happy to enjoy it yourself/'A fo* following anecdote of the Atheist Naigeon, as it is related fti Genin's Life of Diderot, is rjoh, and authenticated as it fa by a member of Ttiii news will be as' unexpected as gratifying to everybody.

One day, in ihe vory hottest of ibe terror of 1794, Naigeon made hisapiDimanor in a family sinoerely attached to him, for bating the man's othoism, and excessive conceit of his thin and mincing pwacnj lie was what the French call "bon howime." He entered with a face of consiemation, and exhibited signs of the deepest despair. He had ju»t time to sink into a cbnir, with every appearance of fainting. Of course, there was a general rush, great a'larm; and a run of questions.
