TIM SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.

DOVER, SATVRDAY.

Ycatel day the great cable, for telegraphic corn

mutucatiou between this country and the continent, the
progressive stages of which have already been recorded, au
at length completed by carrying it up one mile out of the
sea to &invite, on the Calais mast. Telegraphic com-

munication between Calais and the South Foreland, the
latter about three miles from Dover, was practically, and
for the first time through a perfected sea cable, effected
between coast and coast; and it is therefore hoped that no
interruption will arise to continuous and successful tele-
graphic intercourse, when arrangements at present pending
are completed. The portion of cable that has just been
added ou to the main length is one mile long, and
was manufactured during the week at Wapping, in the
same way as the entire cable, and was worked off the
wire rope machine in about a day. It left the Thames
on Tuesday, by the Red Rover steamer, and though
weighing only between seven and eight tons, it had to be
taken to Dover and Sandgate by water, as it could not be
conveniently coiled up into the compass of a railway truck,
and sent by the South Eastern Railway, which would have
been the means of forwarding it fustvr. On arriving at the
point on the French coast where the extremity of the cable,
a mile out at sea, was anchored to the pilot buoy, the Red
Rover was joined by the Fearless, Capt. Bullock, R.N.,
wbo has remained upon the spot until the operation should
be completed. Here the end of the submerged cable was
hauled up by the workmen ou board the steamer, and the
additional mile " spliced " on to complete it, the " join "
being secured by iron clamps screwed over it. The inter
cores of copper wires were brazed together, and the over-
lapping Shan& of gutta perch*, bituminised yarn, and gal-
vanieed iron wire, securely interwoven. As calm a state of
high water as possible was selected by Captain Bul-
led* for the purpose, so as to prevent the pitch-
ing of the vessel from affecting so nice an operation.
The part of the cable where the " Join" occurs is thought
to be as strong as any part where nothing of the kind
occurs ; but it is curious that it should exist at this parti-
cular place, where it will have to contend against the :ebra•
&ion of shingle on the beach and other casualties, and
which, in the experiment of last year, sawed asunder the
gotta pereha cable on the rocks around Cape Griner. The
communication is now perfect between coast and coast.
Captain Bullock, who co-operated throughout with his
valuable nautical knowledge, left Calais to-day with the
Fearless fur Portsmouth. . .

The cost of the present cable has amounted to about'
16,0001., or with contingencies, to about 20,0001. 1
Atringcments are being made for trying, through the
instrumenta:ity of the submarine telegraph, some remark*.
blo curious astronomical experiments, and it is considered I
that facilities for sidereal observation on all parts of the
continent will be greatly increased by means of it. The I
South. Eastern Railway Company, with a view to the pro-
motion of the object, have consented to carry a wire or
wires from their telegraphto the Observatory at Greenwich,
so as to connect it with the submarine wires, which
will also Ice connected with the Observatory at Paris,
and simultaneous observations be made between the Astro-
nomer Royal here and Professor Amu°, in Paris. The transit
of a star over the meridian of London and Paris can thus be
notified in a minute, together with the time of its transition j
The longitude of both places, and of different places on the
continent, can also be easily obtained, and the moat accarato
records of comparative, astronomy be recorded and pre
served. Several hitherto undreamt of, because, hitherto
impracticable diversions, are in contemplation, by means of
the subinergsd cable. One is the firing off guns simultane-
ously from the Invalid.", the heights of Dover, and the
Tower of Loudon; and another, the practier.l playing of a
game of chess, through the wires, between the chess-players
of London and Paris.

GLASGOW.
"TO LOUIS ILOSSCTII LATE oorzallon OF 111:SGAILT.

"Address of the citizens' of Glasgow in public meeting
usemblid
_ . . .

s' Honoured Sir,—We, a publii meeting of the citizens
of Glasgow, convened by their chief magistrate, beg leave
to address you on your arrival in this country, and to con-
gratulate you on your escape from the toils and persecu-
tions of your oppresaors, and to express a fervent hope that
you may yet be spared to restore your beloved Hungary to
that position among the nations of Europe, from which she
has been so basely dislodged' by Cossack hordes and vio-
lated Austrian faith. In these times of rampant and blind
reaction on continental Europe, it is clearly the duty of all
friends of constitutional and rational freedom (ot which
your brilliant career in Hungary proves you to he a devoted
supporter), to told out the hand of fellowship to all mar-
, tyrs of liberty like ye urself, and prove to both autocrat and
kaiaer, that though their armies may, in the east, suppress
public opinion and enslave the press, there is still n voice
an the west potent enough to confound their doings, and
shield from calumny and attack the victims of their op-
pression. It is thus that the two great branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race bid you welcome to their shores, a feel-
ing we are sure responded to by the great French people,
so unworthily represented by that government which drove
you from its shores. Rest assured, sir, that in the hands
and hearts of the millions of the natives that produced a
Washington, a Hampden, and a Wallace, sad who have
learned deeply from experience to cherish the principles
of constitutional freedom, the cause of your country, and
the struggling nationalities of Europe is safe from the
conquest of desaatic barbarism; and though your
Nat has been an epoch of heroic struggles and
danger, and your present is one of exile, the
future is yours; and with civilisation and humanity
in your favour, as has been well expressed in your
letter to the republicans of Marseilles, There are no
obstacles to him who has the will."f hat will is yours, we
feel persuaded, to make itself known ere long as a power of
might in the counei:s of Europe and a beacon of hope to the
enslaved of all nations. Whitt taking the present oppurtu-
fifty of paying tribute to your high genius, patriotism,
martial courage, and administrative ability, while chief
ruler of your native land, and to your magnanimous con-
duct while a prisoner at Kutayah, we should feel highly
honoured could time allow you to pay the commercial capi-
tal of Scotland a visit, in which event we pledge ourselves
to give a welcome commensurate with the sentiment of
v.usration we entertain towards your person, and the gr:at
cause of which you are the bon aired representative.—
(Signed on behalf of the meeting), James Teases, Chair-
man."
