We learn from
Copenhagen that the electrie tele-
graph line is advancing rapidly. The wire arrived
last Thursday from England. It is of copper, sur-
rounded by gutta percha in a leaden pipe, and is half
an inch in diameter. Between three and four hundred
men are employed. The Roaki !de Railway extension
line to Korsor is not commenced, but will probably
be so shortly, the necessary preliminaries having
been going on for some time. Major DREYER, of the
Engineer corps, has been appointed by the Home
Minister " technical consulen6," or chief inspector.

QUEENSTOWN, 'SUNDAY 2 O'CLOCK.

This moment Rear-Admiir al Corry's fleet, the
Channel squadron, has arrived, consisting of her
Majesty's ship Prince Regent, 90 guns, Captain
Hutton, bearing the Admiral's flag, blue at the
main; Rodney, 90, Captain Graham, brother to Sir
James Graham ; and Leander, 50, Captain King, in
20 days from Lisbon : all well. The fleet had
boisterous weather during the -voyage, and for seven
or eight days were under close-reefed topsails. It
was a work of considerable difficulty for the fleet to
come to anchor, crowded as the station of Queens
town is with foreign vessels laden with bread-stuffs.—
