DEEP SEA TELEGRAPHY.-011 Thursday last a
paper was read by Mr. E. Kaulbach, at the Inventors' In-
stitiite, Trafalgar.equare, on a new system of deep-sea tele-
graphy. The invention consists in the formation of a per-
'aliment way or bridge beneath the surface of the ocean—
andwhich may be extended to any distance—fee the sup-
port and carrying through of the wires, lines, cables, or
other contrivances of a like sort, by means of which the
electric current is to be transmitted from shore to shore.
The said permanent way being formed of a series of vessels
of particular construction, stationed—at distances to be de-
tei mined according to cireunistances—throughout the
whole of the intended line of communication, sunk to an
average depth of 10 to In fathoms, and firmly moored to
the bed of the sea. These vessels being so contrived
that they can, within a few minutes, be brought
to the surface, together with their respective
burdens, whensoever it maybe required, for the purpose.of
shifting, cleansing, repairing, examining or otherwise
manipulating the said vessels, or the wires, lines, cables,
of
&c., and this without any effort or machinery. No loss
cable can take place, and flaws or accidents can at onoe be
detected, and the cable recovered at any point. The posi-
tion of each vessel will be indicated by a small buoy at-
tached thereto, and the former being stationed at
equal distances apart, one continuous line of buoys will
denote the track of the Submarine Permanent-Way orare
bridge from shore to shore. The supporting veseels
entirely independent of the surface, and below the region
of storms. Furthermore, by means of a simple appliance,
messages may be sent from mid-ocean through any one of
the buoys along any or all of the said wires, lines, cables,
die., by any ship or ships lawfully privileged to use the
same, and wishing to communicate with either of the con-
tinents or islands wherewith the said permanent-way may
be connected, or with each other. The actual cost of per-
manent-way telegraphic communication between Cape
Race and Cape Clear has been estimated at about 400,00 M
THE WEATHER AND THR CHOPS. —The country
has been blessed with a week of genuine, old-fashioned
June weather—in fact, genuine summer not without the
appropriate accompaniment of a heavy :term of thunder,
lightning, and soaking showers. The effect has been to
improve the appearance of every growing crop, and pros-
of harvest are on the whole extremely satisfactory.
The wheats have filled out--are lookinf igorous, and up-
'
want NAILS, peas, oats and barley show the bene-
ficial e acts of the warmth and the moisture, whilst
I the meadow and grass binds have also greatly
improved. Haymaking has been actively carried on,
and the swathe in many instances turns out better mad
heavier and thicker at the bottom than was expected. On
I light dry soils the grass crop will neeesaarily be short.
From the hop districts the reports come
icebetter though
there is still great complaint of fly and l, and
dew. The recent thunder and rain storms, however, have
scarcely had time to bring out their full benefit, and we
I hope to hear better tidings next week. It is all too ear
to despond es to the coming crop, but with so precarious a
plant as the hop, a very slight " dose" of mischief serves
Ito give rise to considerable uneasiness. Prices have me-
, terially advanced and good old hops are worth having.-
