olish an immediate correspondence between all the pr ncipal towns,
end to provide for its subsequent progressive development. There
can be no question that the adoption of a small charge, say Is. per

business of the Company extended, produce a large revenue.

seat commercial, po"tical, and social requ'eem ents it is calculated

that 11,000 miles of teleeraphie wires would in thifiist instance be
required.
It is estimated that this amount of telegraphic wares, including
re Submarine Telegraph to Ireland, could be laid down at a cost of
175,090/. This would place In, connection all the principal cities
and outports of the United knit/done leaving the further branch
lines of telegraph to be gradually extended Kith the capital of the

or basis of the
" letil• By laying down a still greater number of wires at IL st on
the trunk lines, by which the cost of each wire would be proportion-
able' diminished, a great development of the system might be effected,
till it may be fairly estimated that a sum of from 250,4)00/. to
"a, 0101., expended in the first instance, would lay the foundation
for the extension of telegraphic communication to a degree that at
pr the
could be scarcely credited.
ee4la'ge additional source of income Nell also ensue by providing
7 she first instance a sufficient number of extra wires, to be exclu-
-4 NIY appropriated to Government departments, public companies,
Private mercantile establishment', at an annual rent. The use

exclusively possessed, and perfect secrecy
Le-uted, at a cost less than half that now annually expended by
e,il3' houses en their telegraphic messages.
I,j•°r ilestsuice, 50 extra wires from London to Manchester, Liver-
e_ol, or other places, could be laid down at so small an additional
i'', 'estt that an exclusive wire could be rented at the rate of 21. or 31
eee„nt, lie per annum. It is estimated that 50 extra wires, at least,
se-e,"fl be thus required ; which would yield a large additional in-
a,F'L" ; and it is difficult to limit the extent to which this principle
—Tiht be carried in a great commercial country like this.

communications will be made with leading commercial
