On the Ist of lgovember last this Company opened a subter-
ranean line of telegraph from their offices, 3 ‘, Cornhill, to Dover,
where the wires are united to those of the submarine telegraph
between Dover and Calais, thus insuring a direct communication
(without any break) between London and the Continent. The
Submarine cable to Belgium will be laid down between the South
Foreland and .Middlekirk (near Orend) in the ensuing month,
when its wires will also be connected with the wires of this Company
at Dover; and a large accession of business will thereby be obtained
for the European and American Electric Telegraph Company. Traffic
arrangements have been made securing the European and American
Telegraph company the exclusive privilege of conveying all messages
to and from London and any part of the Continent via France and
Belgium.
The capital hitherto expended is 50,0001., for which sum the Com-
pany has obtained an underground line of telegraph between London
and Dover, constructed in such an efficient manner that a responsible
contractor her guaranteed the maintenance of the works for the
annual payment of 1001.
All the preliminary expenses, the cost of obtaining the act of Par-
liament and ;payments for patents, are also included in the above-
mentioned expenditure.
Although this line has been opened only six weeks, the net returns
already show a profit of 5 per cent. upon the capital expended and
this satisfacaory result has induced the shareholders, at a General
Meeting held on the sth instant, unanimously to resolve that this
subterranean system of telegraph should be extended to the towns of
Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, so as to afford direct and
unbroken intercourse between their several exchanges and the Con-
tinent.
Contracts have been made to carry out these lines insulated in
gutta percha, and laid underground, for a sum of 50,0001.
In order to provide the necessary capital for this purpose, ten
thousand shares of 5/. each, to be pa d up in full, will forthwith be
issued ; and as the whole expense of the undertaking has been thus
clearly defined, no liability can se incurred by the shareholders be-
yond the amount of their shares, as the Directors will undertake
no new lipm nor enter into any further engagement, wlthuut the
consent of the proprietors.
Whilst the working expenses of the Company w,ll be but slightly
increased by the proposed extension, the business between these
main [arteries of commerce is known to be of a very lucrative de-
scription, and the ratio of profit on the existing line will be largely
augmented.
'1 he works to Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham are already
in progress.
Application for st are s may be made to Messrs. Foster and Braith-
waite, Stockbrokers, 68, Old Broad-street, City, ou or before Wed-
nesday, the 22d instant.
