The New York, Newfoundland, and Loudon Telegraph Company have decided upon several important improvements and new enterprises, in older to insure perfect telegraphic connec tions with the prominent cities of the United States and Kurope. A new land line Is to be constructed from Mean's Content to Placentia, in Newfoundland. From thr-nce a new cable will be laid to St. Pierre (Miquclon), and trotu that island aciocs to Sydney. Capo Breton, where it will connect with the present land lines. An entirely new line will also be built from Heart's Conteut, N. t, to Port Hood. Cape Bre ton, wheie it will connect with the present lines coining to the Uniied States. The present land line in Newfoundland is to be entirely re built of the best material, and great care will be taken that in the construction of the other two lines above mentioned, only the best workman-t-bip and stock shall be employed. Tbe two cables hcros the Gulf of St.. Law rence are and have been in exoellcnt condition. It will be seen by the above statement that the New York, Newfoundland, and London Tele crrnph Company will soon have three distinct lines connecting with the Atlantic Cable, which will leave no chance for accidents by severs weather preventing the United States from being lu daily and hourly communication with Kurope. -Ylie Delay of Atlantic Telegraph Des patches Explained Letter iiom Secre tary Bewartl. Atlantic Telegraph Companv, ) London, October 19, 1800. J To the Editor of The Evening Telegraph t 1 am instructed by the Directors of the Atlan tic Telegraph Company to ask of you the favor of being allowed to give an official contradic tion to the statement which they have with rceret, lrom time to time, observed in the columns of the New York press, relative to the supposed responsibility of that Company for the serious delays which have, several times since the opening of the cables, takeu place in the transmission of Intelligence between Uenrt'a Content, Newfoundland, and the United States. The Atlantic Telegraph Company is in no way responsible for those delays. 'The entire line between Heart's Content and New York is owned and managed by two companies, whose directors are American citizens, and whose head offices are in New York. The New York, Newfoundland, and London Company owns the line from Heart's Content to Port Hood, and at the time the cables were laid, their own cable across the gulf was broken down, and the land wires in Newfoundland required reinsulation; they had abstained from Incurring the necessary expenses of repairing these lines, owing to the repeated delays experienced in laying the cables across the Atlantic, which, not unnaturally, had inspired many minds with distrust as to the eventual accomplishment ol the enterprise. Immediately after the success of the Atlantic cable they repaired the St. Lawrence cable, and they have since laid a second cable by it3 side. They are also, we are assured, engaged very actively in reinstating their lines across New foundland; but these pass through a very wild country, and will take a considerable time to repair. As soon as these lines are put into such a con dition as will warrant the expectation that tele graphic communication can be carried on be tween Europe and America with certainty and despatch, the Directors will be prepared to make a nmenaT reduction In the tariff; and until that time arrives they hope that the people of the ' United States will give them credit for doing everything in their power for the intprests of the public on both bides of the Atlantic. I am, sir, yours respectfully, CiEORGB SaWARD, Secretary and General Superintendent ot the Atlantic Telegraph Company. ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. An Unexpected Accession of Fortune A Lamp-Trimmer In tbe United States Navy Becomes at Hungarian Count. A fcomewhat remarkable change of fortune has occurred to a young man known by the name of George Olson, and occupying the hum ble position of a lamp-trimmer and "Jack of the Dust" on board the United States steamship Madawaska, now in this port, by which he has suddenly come into possession of $;IOO,0(0 in gold, toeether with the Hungarian title of Edward Louis, Count Batthyanyi, and the ex tensive estates attached thereto. It appears that Olson, or the Count, left his country In 1848, when very young, after his lather had been executed for being concerned in tbe rebellion under Kossuth (to whom he is nearly related), and has since been in the United States. He knew little of his family or their real position, and supposed that in conse quence of Lis father's disloyalty all their posses sions had been confiscated. Finding it difficult to gain a livelihood he joined tbe United States navy, and was dratted on board the United States 9teamer Madawaska as a landsman, being employed as lamp-trimmer anJ assistant to the captain of the hold. He never hinted to his messmates that he was ot noble birth, or had ever held a higher position than the one be oceimied. In fact, it does not appear that bis countship had any very clear notions himself on the matter. Believing bis father to be a disgraced man, he troubled h'n heatt little about family matters, and betook himself with great industry to the care ot his lamps, and all his other duties on board. Happening to got hold of a newspaper a short time since he discovered an advertisement requesting Edward Louis Batthyanyi to com municate with certain parties, and he would "hear of something to his advantage." Our oung blue-blooded Hungarian lamp-trimmer lost no time iu complying, and, having proved his identity, received an instalment of $300,000. Instead of informing his commanding officer of this strange vicissitude of fortune, which had metamorphosed a United States naval lamp trimmer and "Jack of the Dust" into a Hunga rian nobleman, with a revenue ot upwards of $50,000 a year, Batthyanyi, or Olson, deserted from the Afaciflicasfca. He is now in Washington, under the patron age of the Austrian Ambassador, endeavoring to procure a formal discharge from the service. That he will succeed we have not the slightest doubt, and It Is to be hoped that this sudden elevation to rank and fortune will have the effect of muklng hiin reap the advantuge of the trying experience he has had of the roughest side of lite. While on board the Madawaska lie was remarkable for bis good behavior, and the regular discharge of his laborious duties; and now, when exalted to the rank of a Hunga rian grandee, we expect he will become, as he alw&va promised, a respectable and worthy member of society.

OITY INTELLIGENCE. For Additional J.oral Items we Third i'aj'. Habkss Supposed to be Stolen. James Wallace was arrested yesterday afternoon at Third and Beaver streets, on sunpiciou of committing Inrceny. It ap ears that .lames is of quite a business turn. He was perambulating the streets with a wheelbarrow trundling liefore him, in which was his stock of trade, a fine i-et of harness. James' acting, we suppose, ou the old maxim, "Quick sales and small profits," was offering his stock ut about one-third of Its value. Now, as harness-niakcis are not in the habit of selling to the trade at such an enormous reduc tion In the retail price as to allow such low prices, it very naturally got into the head of a police officer that the property had been stolen. He accordingly arrested J. Wallace, and took him before Alderman Shoemaker, to have uu investigation in the case. At the hearing a claimant appeared lor the wheelbarrow, which had been stolen from a place in R chmond. Wallace whs committed, in default of $100 bail, to unswer the charge of larceny. The Biter Pirates. On the night of the 31st, between the hour of 10 and 11 o'clock, river pirates made a raid on the sloop Boxer, of Smyrna, owned by Mr. Coverdale, of Smyrna, and the schooucr aarah Fisher, of thif'clty, owned by Shoemaker & Co., of North Broad street. The two vessels were lying at the ftot of Almond street wharf at the time. The thieves carried off two new jibs, one from each vessel, and stole a yawl boat at the bame time from tae barati Fisher to carry their plunder. The two sails are valued at over $100. The whole pro perty was recovered and taken to the Station House. Subsequently the mate of the Borer identified one of tbe jibs as belonging to his vessel, and said that he had no doubt tbo otW one iH-looRed to the Sarah Fisher, The yiwl boat and the other bail are now al the Harbor Police dock, at the foot of Noble street A Maticious Female. Martha Elliott, a woman of remarkubly zantippic temper, and having an extremely rough conscience, was arrested on a charge of malicious mischief. It appears from the accounts of the parties, that Martha, having a grudge ngttn?t Mr. Henry Leech, who resides back of the Sorrel Hor-o tavern, on the Darby rou3, weut to his house and besmeared it over iu a most disgustnig manner, to the most intense annoyance of the inmates. As soon as it va di--covered, informa tion was lodged against Martha, and she wa aireslcd and taken before Alderniaii Alleu. That magistrate committed her for a iurther hearing. A Brutal Husband. Jerry Hurley was arrested ou a charge of beatir.g his wife. Jerry lives at No. 1048 Ward street, and is alleged to be emphatically a hard case. It is said that, under the influence of essence of rye and the Devil, he gave the partner of his bosom u sound catigation. She complained to the Mayor, and his Honor issued a warrant for Jerry s arrest. He was arrested and taken before Alderraun LiUz, who heard the stories of both sides of the house. Not being able to get at the entire facts in the case, however, tbe Alderman committed him for a further hearing. The abused wife, thankful for a little peace, departed; to h-ir home (,). Larceny. William McCarter made a s jrt of informal Investigation into the Gas Works. William's investigation was not, however, in tended for the beneht ot tbe public, but lor hi own private advantage. He appropriated some jewelry to his own use, but was unfortunate enougn to oe uuecica in m'j proteeuinj", ana in consequence a warrant was isued for his arrest on tbe charge, lie was taiccn yesterday afternoon, and had a beanos before Alderman Bo&wcll, by whom he was held in $800 to appear at Court. Burglary-. At an early hour this morn ing tbe house of Mrs. Yeager, No. U57 N. Eleventh street, was entered by one or more burglars. They effected an entrance into the rear or ine uous-e ny pryinir open a back win dow. Proceeding through to one of tbe cham bers, the thieves rummaged the drawers ot a bureau and took from them a cloak, shawl, and several dresses, and also $75 iu greenbacks. The thieve then became alarmed, and tied with their plunder, and succeeded in getting oil sale for the time. Camden Temperance Society, A meetiuK of tbe Camden County remoeranee Society was held yesterday at Andrew's Hall. There was a iuu utceuaance, ana a spirit ot reform wa manifested that augured well for the futuie of the Society. Thomaa Cochrane wan nominated lor President ot the Association, and the unanimous vote of the members present teslifaed tne deep appreciation oi nis services in the cause. Malicious Mlschief. Some two or three days ago Charles Brant, while driving a curt In the neighborhood of Fifth and South streets, undertook to make a disturbance, and suc ceeded. He ran into anothertart, injuring it. and endangering both horse and driver. H drove off at the time and escaped arrest, but a warrant was Issued against him by Alderman PoUlnger, and he was taken yosterday after noon. He was committed to answer. Cholera. There were only two cases of cnoiera reported to tbe Board ot Health from noon oi yesterday until noon or to day.

Clarence Borden May it please the Court and (entleiren of the Jury ; the defendant at ths bar bavin? received a aood education, eutered lino th servico ot the United tstates about the year 1801. Krom that period until 1806 he was in active service, with the exception of tbe lapses ot lime which Inter vened lrom the dateot his leaving one. vcssl to tnat of bis being placed noon another. He has servod in the capacity ot engineer on board the Mmneeo'.a, 1'awnce, J.ekiiih, aud Galatea. Of minv who were acquainted with him during bis ocean career, a few, very tow, indeed, can we obtain to testily in his behalf ; many have lalleu victim to diseaso in un healthy climates, and some of uis shipmates are now absent in distant wators. Gentlemen ot the Jnry Our defense will not be in theoiies, nor in speculation. tVo will try to lollow what Bamt rani said to the Tuossalonians: "To prove all tbliiRS, bold fast that which is good." Mow this case seems involved itt a kind ot mystery. The Commonwealth bave failed to prove that the de fendunt at the bar killed the deceased on the 10th dav olAuun-t; whether that killing was iuatiliablc, or whether it was on a sudden provocation. Tbov have failed to show whether it was an aault pre vious to the mortal wound, or at the same luataat, or alter tbe mortal B roke lient emen of the Jury There was no weapon at all iound upon tho person, in the room, or in the yard. Dr. Wood, I believe, suvs that olood waa fi'iind npon tho prisoner? And what does Dr. Wood judge blocd but by its color. You cauuot judge of blood by tne color. A microscopic test is tbe only test by which blood can be judged. '1 hero is another matter to bo considered, and that is ti.e length ot time that expired from the hour that tbe deceased first went into this house on Kle vtnih street until he went away. 1 he ponod, I be lieve, was live or six hours. Now, ia it not probable that two or thiee persons, unkuown to each other and at different times, cou'd have gono into that house between tbe hours of Vi and 8 o'clookf Everything seems lavorable to such a probability. Mrs. It son went out ot this house, was cone an hour, and half, came back, and went to bed. Dniing tbe time hits. Tyson was out, the colored wc man there was only one person, 1 EJIJ .5"USS!L8i oioPu'eTirthe yi?? washing aia attending to the boose-hold work, id then you know that there are two dojrs to the nouit; or.e on Eleventh street, aud the other on Mark's Lane ; that has been proved ; now with suoh iaci)itic tor entrance and exit, it t no more than probable that two or three persons could have gone into tbat bouse aud out again without anybody knowing anything, about it; but, gentlemen of the jury, we being tinablo to explain Ins whereabouts, tbe family of the de tndant rest his dolense iioon the plea of insauity. The ivlea has bee a so greatly abused by so niauy members of the legal profession, as to bo generally doemeJ a very weak plea, ami in many niunltr cases that have been tried in this Court, tho pica of insanity is brought forward as an emergency ; but in this it is rather dittcrent. Tho praoner at the bar has always been treated by his irionds and relatives as ono laboring under mental aberration, befoie he eutered the navy, his Iricnds and relatives regarded bim imane, but his insanity did not roach that point winch would warrant tbem to put him in an asylum. His father wa insaue In the year 1888 he was being treated for insanity at tbe Pennsylvania Hospital in Tine street, and tbe records ot that iustitution will show that he was discharged trom that institution as Im proved but not cured ; Jtht evidence will be given to.vou on the wi'uess-stond ; a brotherjund a uiorof the delcndaut labor nndor inauity; the sister was placed in an iusano as; turn many years ago for the purpoee ot bavins a cure effected ; that also will be pro v n to you; after you have beard the evidence of tbe witnesses tor tbe detense rou will be con vinced that the law entities tho defendant to an ao qnittal. Tbe bill of indictment cbarzos that the act waa comrritted "iclomously, and with malice afore thought." Now the motive la the essence of tbe offense, and where there is no mind, there can be no motive how, gontlemen ot the jury, when I shall cite to you some el the authorities containing the medical jurisprudence of this country and ol Kurope, I think you will be convinced that I have not advanced any principles which, they do not warrant. He then cited from different authors the grounds upon which persons are considered insane, and oioscd by appealing to the Jury to bear the defence as well as they had tho Commonwealth. David Hardv sworn I am au enginoor iuthe navy ol the United States) I have been in the navy snce the 11th oi May, 1800; lam acquainted with Nowton tbaniplo.n, tho prisoner at tbe bar; I became ac quainted' with bim ou the 19 ih of April, 1801 ; I was attacneu to tue uiuieu oih'vs nuui'imr ruii'nce when 1 got acquainted witunim; i wasontue ruwnee when he came; we were shipmates about 15 mouths ; He and 1 bunked together part ot the time: I saw bim every day and every night, with very tew ex ceptions; I perlormed watch duty; be did also; he never penormed duty on deck that was not re quired of him; 1 don't think I ever had oocaUon to te 1 mm to go on accn iu uu my pmue iu me wmoi ; be was a temperate men; 1 never saw bim drink any liquor; 1 never saw bim asleep; our beds were in the same npartmonts tor aoout four or or five months; his behavior while on beard tbe veseel was very peouliar; he showed no disposition to mingle with his mess rates; when be came off wato.i at 8 o'clock in tho night, and bis turn camn on at 4 A.
