The London Times gives a lengthy discription of the manufacturing of the submarina cable for connecting England and % America. It fears, however, that tho cable will prove a failure. It says : Tho Atlantic cable is beyond all doubt a beautiful specimen of manufacturing skill. ; It possesses several essential requisites. Its cost, we believe, is only.-GlOO per mile ; its weight only one ton per mile. It is contract- , ed for to bear a stain of three tons 2 cwt., but it is stated to stand four tons with safe- ' ty. Its specific gravity is between three and four, its diameter is small, and it is as flexible as an ordin^y rope. These are great advantages, but tho aets-off on tho other side are numerous andl"aiosb importsnt. , In the "first place, there Is no wire for the return current, and tho conducting wire itnolf ia ridiculously small (l-10lh of an inch in diameter,) when it is considered that it is intended to carry a current for nearly 3000 . miles.

A Utartling Court Scene. On my last visit to Mississippi I arrived ono plcnsntit Autum evening at the village of Deepwoods, having come in the stage day from Moody Creek. I found the inn well filled, and learned that the circuit court was in session there. At tho supper table I found the judge and some half dozen lawyers, besides the country officers and numerous visitors who had cotno to attend the trials. I had some business to transact with n merchant in tho place, whose name was Landor Wallace, nnd I made up my mind to call upon him during the evening. I knew where his store was, and after tea walked down to his place. Tho building was all fast, however, and I turned my steps towards his dwelling. I knocked at the door and my summons was 1 1 ? _ I I.J 1 - -I * ? au^weruu uy a uuick woman. j^aPKCa tier if Mr. Wallacc was at home. She lookedinlo my faco a few moments, and then burst into tears. lie's to hum, but lie's dead," she sobbed, With iiiucn ctiort. I managed to learn from the negroes that Wallace had been murdered throe days before, and that his murderer would be tried on the morrow. Uunder such cir- ] cumstances, I could not disturb any others of the family, and having learned the partieu- | lars, I loi't the door and returned to the Inn. < There I learned some further matters touch- ] ing the murder, but those who understood ? the subject* fully were busy, ami I was forced | to wait until the morrow for a clear know! < edge of the case. t Though the murder had been commit- | ted so rccentlv, the body having not yet { been buried, yet as the court was in sess- s ion and the accused and witnesses on hand tho trial was to take place immediately. f On the following morning I entered the , l !?t. it.. i i ii . n uuurt ruuiii wim crowu, ana ma nrsi case wliicli came was that of ihe murderer of Limdor Wallace. The accused was a younp; man, not over five and twenty, named Edward Demarlon. lie had been employed for several years as Wall are's chief clerk, and was one of the most capable youths in the country. I had some dealings with him ; and had learned to love ami respect him. lie was lightly built, with a native pride, which, while it gave lk 1 m firm n/icc mill /li/vnif maiiah inrwl1. mid UIIIIUUOO (iiiu ut^uaj, iiiiniu itts manner haughty or overbearing. lie was i an orphan, of French descent and liad been born and reared in Now Orleans. As lie s sat in llic prisoner's box I could see him ( plainly. lie was very pale, and seemed 1 to sutler much ; yet he did not look like a guilty man. I could not believe that ho f bad ever committed a murder, lie was ] too .brave and honornblo for that. ] At lengili the trial commenced. Tho witnesses eamc on and gave their testimony ( and my heart sank within ine, as I found t how strougly the tide of ciri-nmstances set ( against him. It was proved that he wish- ( ed to marry Landor Wallace's niece, n t young girl named Isabel Wallace, and that < the undo had objected. From this a quar- | rel had ensued, and tho youth had left f Wallace's service. It was proved further- ^ more, that Demarton had challenged Wal- t I ace to fight him a duel, and that the iner- { cuani uau reiuscu on Uic ground lliat lie ( could not consent to meet one whom he ( still regarded in the light of a son. Then ^ it was proved that the youth was very j wroth at this, and that he swore Mr. Wjuluce should either fight or suffer the consequences." lie was determined to have sat- t isfaction. .: < On the evening of tho>marder,'^tho mer- j chant started on horseback for Dantonvillo^ and in halfau hour afterwards, the prison-* f sr mounted his horse and started after hhri, ( saying, as lie leapedtnto thcsadde, that lie , "would easily overtake Mr. Wallace." < And then lie added, in presenco of three . witnesses9,-wlio swore to the words :?"I. ] can settle our troubles as well on the road . j to Dantonville as anywhere!"

I leaped form the sadHe and knelt down by the side of the body. L turned his face up and called his name ieveral times. The flesh was yet warm, but ife seemed extinct. I got my hands and ;lothcs thus bespattered with blood, but I bought not of that. When I found that ic was gone, and that I could not well handle lie body alone, I remounted my bonso nnd started back for help. "It has been urged that if I had really (ought help, I would have ridden on towards Dantonville, where 1 could have found t within haliMi mile, rather than towards a ioint where there was no house for over six niles. 1 .>ut I could not stop to think then.

The youth sat down as he ceased spcaktig and the Judge shook his head. "Any one can invent a story like that,1 lie 'aid in his charge to the jury 'but no one 'ould have invented the circumstances which jear against the prisoner." in snort there seemed to be no liopo for .lie youth.
