The Hon. East India Company has determined to lay a Tele-
graphic Cable from Rurrachee to the head of the Persian Gulf.
The Austrian Government has established a Company with
the requisite capital, paid up and guaranteed by the State, for
constructing and laying down a Submarine Electric Telegraph,
in connection with its land lines, from Cattara or Ragusa, on the
coast of the Adriatic, touching at Cork, Ratite, and Candia, to
Alexandria, and thence by Julia and Beyrout to Seleucia : and
have just concluded a contract for the immediate execution of
the work.

The Austrian Company gives to the English Government and
the East India Company a priority over the public in trans-
mitting their messages.
The European and Indian Junction Telegraph Company is
established with a view to continue the electric communication
from Selene's, along the line of the proposed railway, by Aleppo,
la'ber Castle, and the valley of the Euphrates, to the head of the
Persian Gull, thus completing the only remaining link between
India and England.
The English Government will soon be able to communicate
with Malta and Corfu, by a line to those islands from Cagliari
in the Island of Sardinia, to which point the Mediterranean
Electric Telegraph is advanced.
From Cagliari the French and Sardinian Governments will
have direct telegraphic communication with Alexandria and
the East.

Ali parts of India are, or are about to be, brought in telegra-
phic communication with Kurrachee, and the cable from thence
of the East India Company to the head of the Persian Gulf, with
the wires to be laid down by this Company, will bring India by
nearly 2,000 miles nearer England and the Continent.
When the Submarine and Indian systems meet at Releucia,
the connection between the East and the West will be complete,
and England, the Continent, and India, be in hourly commu-
nication.

From the arrangements contemplated, it is certain that the
best and safest telegraphic routes will be secured to this country.
The Austrian Government has most strikingly evinced its in-
terest in this great undertaking, and its desire to maintain the
potation as the medium of conanunication between other nations,
by uudeitaking the completion of so ;arge a portion of the line.
The British Government anti the Honourable East India Corn--
pan; duly appreciate the power of supervision and control put
into their bands by the telegraph, binding together in one Cho
isolated and distant dependencies of the Empire, and are pre-
pared to extend their countenance and support iu a fair and
liberal spirit.
The merchant and the shipowner are well acquainted with the
inestimable value to them of the power of imparting and receiving
prompt information. It is well known that heavy loss has been
suffered by the Indian mercantile community through the non-
receipt of immediate news of the adoption of the Austrian pro-
positions for peace. The heavy contracts made in Calcutta and
Bombay in January last for oil seeis, jute, and saltpetre, would
have been prevented by a single message.
But the grand source of revenue will be derived from the con-
stant desire to communicate which is felt by members of families
when at a distance from each other; and, when it is considered
how many thousands of families in England have some near
relative in India, the revenue, it is believed, from this source
alone will be very large.
From the most reliable data that can be collected the Directors
feel confident that, besides the pecuniary assistance that may
be expected from Government and the Hon. East India Com-
pany, a highly remunerative return may be expected on the
capital embarked.
The Directors have the satisfaction of stating that they have
secured the valuable co-operation and assistance of Mr. John
Watkins Brett, the inventor and projector of the submarine
telegraph
Mr. O'Shanghnessy, superintendent of telegraphs in India,
having already laid down in that country 4,000 miles of electric
Wire with extraordinary economy and success, and as the cable
in connection with the Indian system is about being carried from
Kurrachee to Kurnah at the Lead of the Persian Gulf under his
supervision, an application has been at!dressed to the Court of
Directors of the Honourable East India Company with the view
to secure the advice of this eminent and successful officer to
this Company, so us to insure uniformity of design and manage-
ment throughout, from Calcutta and Peshawer, Bumba% and
Madras to Seleucia. The Honourable Court have already inti.
mated that they "would have no objection to the experience
which he (Mr. O'Shaughnessy) has acquired in India being made
available for the line through Asiatic Turkey."
"The electric telegraph is the most beautiful and surprising
Invention of the age, and nothing is more interesting than to
learn its rapid progress and wonderful results. The telegraphs
n America aro surpassed in length, solidity of construction, and
