TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN
AUSTRAIIA, AND CHINA.—ID 1860, Mr. F. Gisborne, as the
representative of forty banks and firms trading with India
and Australia, offered the colonies of the latter to
connect them telegraphically with India and China for
a guaranteed subsidy of 35,000 f. a year. This was
to be done by means of cables from Singapore
Ito Rangoon ria Moulmein, King Island, and Penang ; to
Canton rot Sarawak, ',sheen, Manilla.' and Saigon ; and to
Brisbane rid Java. Owing to the failure of the Java cable
and the necessity for a new one, the subsidy asked for was
increased to 50,0001. a year. This scheme is still under con-
sideratiou by the colonies, but owing to the recent explora-
tions of the Australian continent a coast telegraph line
from Java to Queensland appears to be viewed with dis-
favour, and a land line from Brisbane to Port Essington,
or from Adelaide to North Australia, is spoken of as per-
fectly practicable and more economical.
