ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ON THE EDINBURGH AND
GLASGOW EAILWAX.-.--TRANSMISSION OF THE SHARE LISTS
OF THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW STOCK EXCHANGES.—
The Electric teleg aph, invented by Mr. Bain, of Edinburgh,
is now laid along the entire line of the Edinburgh and Glas-
gow Railway, and its operation, which commenced this

Although at present this extraordinary and
ingenious instrument is chiefly adapted to business commu-
nications connected with the railway, it has been employed
for the transmission of a great variety of messages, and
information of a more general character, and is ob-
viously applicable to almost every purpose of a si-
milar nature. Accordingly, when we had the pleasure of
witnessing the telegraph in operation on Thursday, it im-
mediately occurred to us that a most valuable application of
the machine would be to convey the result of the trans-
actions of the Stock Exchange, in either city, immediately on
the close of the business. We had no doubt that this object
could be accomplished with the utmost accuracy, and with
the speed nearly of thought itself. The ingenious inventor
concurred in the propriety of making this experimentrwhich
appeared to afford the means of such a perfect illustration of
the practical utility of the invention. Scarcely any previous
arrangement was found necessary to secure this object—the
machine itself sufficiently meeting every requirement of the
case. Accordingly, we had yesterday the whole of the busi-
ness transactedduly and accurately transmitted between Edin-
burgh and Glasgow in about the space of ten minutes after the
closing of the Exchange. In short, the prices, including every
sale of each stock, as quoted in Edinburgh and Glasgow, were
thus known at the same time in both cities—and might
have been, of course, equally in the hands of all the brokers
and dealers in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Practically, there-
fore, in so far as regards the purchase and sale of stock, and
in all other respects where communication is mainly con-
cerned, Mr. Bain's telegraph has made Edinburgh and Glas-
gow one city. In a commercial point of view, we need not
dwell upon the value and importance of this fact. The faci-
lities afforded by such an invention will, we have no doubt,
be extensively employed, as it can be rendered available to
any purpose depending upon the correct and rapid transmis-
sion of intelligence. But we think the Stock Exchanges will
be the first parties to avail themselves of so useful a medium,
and we expect ere long to see it habitually employed in con-
ducting their operations.—Scottish Railway Gazette.

The room was ecnfined and ill ventilated; and the coroner
and jury wondered how human life could be sustained in it.
The Coroner said that Whetstone-park was a dreadful place.
-Its air was so'bad as to tic enough to kill anybody, yet the
commissioners of sewers had reported on its drainage, and
from their report it would appear quite a delightful place.
Verdict—" That there was no evidence to show whether the
child's death resulted from natural causes, or from having
beekaccidentallysmothered."
