TELEGRAPH COMPARIZS.

The manufacture of the cable which is about to be
lad by the Submarine Telegraph Company between
Foikestone and Boulogne hen mode considerable
program. This cable will present in an eminent
degree those Indispensable properties - strength and
durability—being constructed of unusual thickness,
as may be gathered from the fact that its weight is
ten tons to the mile. The object is to secure immu-
nity from the effects of such accidents as the dragging
of a ship's anchor, which, upon at least one Dees-
Moo, caused the suspension of telegraphic *am-
monia:salon on the Dover and Calais route.
La point of " insulation," a vast gain is
stated to be derived through using a double
coating of gotta.pereha and patent composition. A
soft bed for the iron wine is provided in the shape
of hemp well saturated in Stockholm tar. When
this cable is laid, the facilities for commute:loin/
between London and Paris will be greatly is
for the existing cable between Dover and Calais con-
sists of only four wires, whereas the new one be-
tween Folkestone acid Boulogne will consist of six
wires—nuking ten in all. It is hoped that with
the chimp of ministry the obstacles which, strangely
enough, have been thrown in the way of this im-
portant commercial work will be obviated.
With the exception of about forty miles, the mane
company's sable destined to connect Norfolk with
Tanning, in beinmark, is now msnafactured. When
etompleted, it will be coiled on board the steamer
William Cory. now lying in the Theme', and the
work of submersion will commence.
A special meeting of the Mediterranean Extension
Tetegrepb Company is called for the 21st inst., for
the purpose of considering the present position and
future prospects of the company, and also for taking
into consideration a concession obtained by the nom-
piny from the Neapolitan government for uniting
Malta with Sicily, and the arrangement which her
Majesty's government has assented to with rasped
to such lice, and of determining upon the expediently
or otherwise of constructing the same, and upon the
beet means to be adopted for raising the necessary
capitol for this and other purposes of the company."
This accords with the intimation given in the Er-
press of the 31st alt. The Malta and Sicily cable
will east about 10,0001., and will involve no increase
in the standing expenses, since the Sicily end will
be taken charge of by the Neapolitan government,
whilst the service at the Malta terminus will
be performed by the clerks employed on the
company's Malta and Cagliari line, which is
now out of order. Th. British government have
esesented that the subsidy of 7,..'001. per annum now
ill hires shall be held to apply equally to the Malta
and Sicily line when the old one does not work.
At the drat general meeting of the Channel luau&
Telegraph Company:held yesterday, the receipts from
manages since the Jib September—the date of the
opening of the line—were stated at 7271. After de-
ducting the expenditure, a net profit of 1001. is
shown. This• the subsidy from government,
allows of the payment of a dividend at the rate of 6
per cent. per annum, which was recommended and
agreed to.
