Trig Srat arricing.—This improvi.d tinrehhte began working
on 'Wednesday, between the Admiralty and Chatham. The
einumunieutions by this means very far surpass tit- Telegraph
recently in use both in celerity and persPieuity. One among
the gloat advantages obtained is the distinctness of obsersMg
the apparatus from or station to another, which is a cemlitti.,l
'for Eton the late one being of :t square form, and thereby
bidding the density of the atmosthere, and the present being
simply an upright hollow mast. The Telegraph, it 14 wt•ll-
huown, consisted of s.lx stritters nt flaps, and could not by 4113
tAcaus produce one hundred combinations. So superior are
the powers possessed by this machine, that with only two arm•
it produces not merely letters and words, butt whole sentences,
