TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION ON THE MIDLAND
LIND; or RAILWAY.—A single line of telegraphic communication,
from Nottingham to Derby, has just been completed, and a similar
line from Nottingham to Leicester is in course of formation. Tele-
graphic communications having been formed on the London and Bir-
mingham Railway, from Euston-square station to Rugby, the Mid-

land Company are rapidly adopting means for carrying them forward
by seven wirea to Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby, where they
will be attached to the northern telegraphs. A similar communica-
tion will soon be completed between Derby and Birmingham. The
various station-masters have received information that they will
shortly be supplied with apparatus necessary for working the signals,
as well as scales of charges for conveying information from one place
to another. The telegraphic lines north of Derby and Nottingham
are now complete, and a few weeks will see those to the south ready
also for use.
