NEW NAVAL LIGHT SIGNALS.
In this country we may say that we are utterly de-
void of all night communication, except by electric wires.
Now, admirable and perfect as this medium of inter-
course is, yet there are a variety of positions in which
it cannot be applied—as from ship to ship, and from ship
to land, and vice versa.
It will scarcely be credited, but such is the fact, that at
Gibraltar and Malta, two of our strongest possessions,
all the outposts are completely isolated and cut off from
intelligent intercourse atter darkness sets in, except the
few signals that can be given in the way of alarm.
The Isle of Wight, too, where her Majesty and the
Royal Family are every now and then residing, is in the
like predicament, having no communication with the
mainland after sunset. And it is still more incredible
that, in the British navy, there are but nineteen signals
which can really be made, and to make the twentieth a
gun or a rocket must be used. It is gratifying to learn that
Dr. Thomson's Now System of Telegraphic Signals,
which for the last eight months has boon under trial at
Portsmouth, by a committee of the most experienced
naval men, will meet all these difficulties. His horizon•
tal lamps, which may be seen at work on board her Ma=
jesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, and which are
adapted to work from the shore to the
sea, will give
10,000 signals at a range of five miles; and the vertical,
for sea-going ships, 1,000 at a range of three miles.
In the British navy there has often hem : nif
an unwillingness to depart from olthestablished customs,
manifested
i
and a strong prejudice against any innovation, especially
when originating from a civilian; but we are pleased to
learn that there is a ready and explicit desire manifested
to see this new system in more eitc:nsive operation.
We understand that the vertical lamps, now under the
constructive care and skill of Miller, Piccadilly, will be
before the committee in a few days, with their new
lenses ordered by the Admiralty.

AMERICAN VISITORS TO THE GREAT EXBIBITION.
—ln answer to many of our readers in Indiana, we state that
rates of fare tor either London or Liverpool, namely, in
the
,ailing
vessels, are, cabin passage, 75 dollars; steerage, 50
Jolla s• We hear of no arrangement for the conveyance of
passengers to the " World's Fair" different from those hitherto
-existing. Our regular packets are unrivalled as regards their
capacity for affording a speedy, safe, and 1. 1
easant passage to
the Old World, being spacious, dry, and well ventilated, and
what is not of the least importance, well commanded. As
to steam-vessels, frequent departures will take place, afford-
ing every accommodation and luxury that could be desired.
As in the case of sailing packets, a considerable proportion of
the passenger accommodation of the Atlantic steamers is en-
gaged for several weeks to come. All the steamers now sail-
ing for Europe exhibit quite extended passenger lists, and the .t,
probabilities are that the Hermann, of the Southampton and
Bremen line, which sails on the 22d inst., and the Franklin, ,
of the Havre line, which sails on the sth proximo, touching
at Southampton, will go full. The steam-ship Caribbean, now
very nearly completed, will be run between New York and
England, and, should the demand justify, other steamers will
be placed on the same route... New York Journal of
Commerce.
