of the Arctic navigators as tb these localities, is
st tted to be most conclusive in favour of the .plan.
It is, however, intended before'bringing the enter-
prise definitely befo're the world to undertake, under
Government auspieeiH,, a careful survey of the whole
line, and hence the al-ove deputation to Lord Palmer-
ston. It is at prekent intended that the European
terminus shall be in the north of Scotland, whence
the cable will be laid to the Faroe Islands, a dis-
tance of 230 miles, and thGnco to Iceland, a short
length of 2SO miles More. A land line then pro-
ceeds across part of Iceland to join the submarine
cable on the western coast of that island, near or at
the town of Reikiavik, whence the cable is intended
to proceed direct to the southern end of Greenland
—a distance of between 500 and 600 miles; thorn,
crossing by land lines from the eastern: shore of
Greenland to Julianshaab, a submerged line leads
from.that town to Hamilton's Inlet, on the coast of
Labrador, a distance: of about 600 miles more.
Short laud lines then continae the whole way to
the shores of the St. Lawrence, and are there placed
in junction with those that traverse the United
States.

The first part of this intended route from the
north of Scotland to the Faroe Islands presents
no difficulties whatever. The :depth is at no part
supposed to exceed 300 fathoms, the bottorads soft.
sand, 'and, with the exception of a much weakened
portion of the Gulf Stream, there are no currents.
From Faroe to Iceland the water is deeper, but the
bottom is said to be good and level, and the low-
ness of the temperature is _favourable to the insu-
lation of the land lines across Iceland to Reikiavik.
There is said to be no sea ice on either shore of
Iceland at the points selected for landing which
could at all interfere with the shore. ends of the
cable. From Reikiavik to the southern end of
Greenland is the longest sea stretch; the depths
vary fr94,1.1.04&44p4,400 Xat.tiorns, and as far as has
been learnt fioniArctie explorcrs..Tha
of natives, no heavyiee is cycr seen grounding in
the bays selected as the landing places. From the
eastern shore of Greenland the line will be carried
to Julianshaab, the scat of Government, and thence
direct to Hamilton's.lnlet, a distance varying from
500 to 600 miles, according to points chosen for
landing or departure. This is the deepest portion
of the route, averaging from 1,500 to 2,000 fathoms.
The peculiar nature of the bottom round Hamilton's
Inlet, it is said, prevents icebergs from proceeding
along the shore, as it is proposed to carry the line
under the lee, as it were, of a ledge of rocks that
intercept the ice coming down from Davis and
Hudson's Straits.

necessary,if any reform was to be obtained at all.

Mr. WALToN, another letter-carrier, ..confirmed
the statements of the previous speaker, anti added
that the remuneration of the letter-carriers was
even lower than had been stated. - They had all
heard of auxiliary letter-carriers who were now so
often employed, and these men actually only re-
ceived 10s. a week. (Cries of " Shame !") It was then
moved
" That it being the opinion of the letter-carriers of Lon-
don that a Parliamentary inquiry is necessary in 'order to
obi ain an impartial investigation of their present grievances,
this meeting, having heard the statements made this.oven-
ing, strongly feel that such an inquiry is imperatively
called for, and should take place, in order that the fair.
claims of the men should be satisfied in accordance with a
due regard for the public interest."
This resolution was put and carried amid tre-
mendous cheering. •
Two other. resolutions—one thanking the press
for its exertions in their cause, and another in cotn-.-
pliment to the chairman—were aiso passed new,
con., and the proceedings terminated. •
