r SEPTEMBER 17, 1553. THE PROGRESS or THE TELEoRAPH, at home and abroad, will, it is calculated, soon outstrip the stretch of the railway system, in consequence of its success ful submarine extension. The submarine lines now in daily operation are, the line between Dover and Calais, .10 miles ; between I►over and Belgium, miles ; between Orfordnesa, on the coast of Suffolk. and Holland, 115 miles ; between Donaghadee and Portpatrick anti the Great anti Little Belts, a total distance of 255 miles. This extension of the submarine telegraph is the result exclusively of English enterprise•, it being a singular fact that no other European kingdom possesses, or hag promoted up to the present moment. this magnificent means of international communication. By the Mediterranean electric telegraph, contracts for which have just been entered into, England will be united with France, Piedmont, Corsica, Sardinia, Algeria, and Egypt— Europ►e with Africa—the East Indies with Australia. This, again, is under the auspices of English enter prise, with the concurrence and support or the various foreign Governments. The vast capabilities that will thus be placed at the command of civilisa tion and commerce almost perplex the imagination. continued from the coast of Africa to Bombay, the electric link is to be connected with the :000 miles of telegraph now constructing in the Indian empire. and thence to Australia, to supply which, some time since, the Australian Telegraph Company, for com munication with India, Van Diemen's Land, and the whole interior of New South Wales, wag projected, lint the credit of which appears likely to be taken from the mother country by cell air Americans, who, it is said, propose to (14) it. Nearer biome the telegraphic wires have just been completed between Cork, Dublin, Belfast, and Killarney. They have within the last few weeks been carried from Cornhill to the London Docks, and are being taken on to the end of Scotland. • Mn. WILLIAM CHAMBERS is about to proceed to North America, for the purpose of writing a descriptive tour through the United 4tate4 and Canada, and collecting accurate information respect ing the condition and prospects of emigrants in these countries. _ MONSIEUR JULLIEN gave his find. concert in New York on the '29th ult. The Nese York Herald eon eludes a long article upon it as follows :—" Altogether Jullien's first reception by an American audience must have been highly Nattering to him. His initia tory concert was a brilliant triumph, as, we have no doubt, will be every one of the scrim" - . . SF.VERAL STATUER, representing some of the kings and queens of England, have knit been placed on their allotted pedestals in the recesses of the Central Hall of the new Palace of Westminster. The statues are of stone, and have been executed by Mr. Thomas, of Regent's-park. The sovereigns represented are Henry IT., Edward 1., and his Queen, Eleanor; Eleanor, Queen of Henry III.; Isabelle, Queen of Edward H.; Edward 111., and his Queen, Philippa; Richard II.; and Henry IV. Several other statues are nearly completed, and will shortly be placed in the recesses prepared for them. Ginsos's STATUE OF THE LATE SIR R. PEET. has been erected in the north transept of Westminster Abbey, under the superintendence of the sculptor. The statue was made at Rome. It is of the life size, in pure white marble, and stands on a pedestal of blue-veined marble. The likeness is good, and the attitude expressive, representing the late statesman in the act of addressing the Senate, and marking an emphasis by the pressure of the palm of the left hand with a scroll which he holds in the right. MONSIEUR GARRIEL SURF:NNE 'IRS • completed n literary tour in France and England, undertaken ter the purpose of discovering the residences, cemeteries, and various historical circumstances in connection witl► the royal houses of the Bruces, from the first baron to the eighth inclusive.
