TELEGRAPHIC EXPERIMENTS.

The following letter, describing some etperi-
ments connected with the projected telegraphic
communication between New York and London,
via Newfoundland, has been handed to us for pub-
lication :

"London, Oct. 3, Five o'clock, a.m.

" My dear Sir,—ls the electrician of the New York,
Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, it is
with the highest gratification that I have to apprise you
of the result of our experiments of this morning upon a
single continuous conductor of more than 2,000 miles in
extant, a distance you will perceive sufficient to cross the
Atlantic Ocean, from Newfoundland to Ireland.
"The admirable arrangements made at the Magnetic
Telegraph.office in Old Broad-street, for connecting ten
subterranean gutta percha insulated conductors, of over
200 miles each, so as to give one continuous length of
more than 2,000 miles 'during the hours of the night,
when the telegraph is not commercially employed, fur-
nished us the means of conclusively settling by actual ex-
periment the question of the practicability as well as
the practicality of telegraphing through our proposed
Atlantic cable.

" This result had been thrown into some doubt by the
discovery, more than two years since, of certain pheno-
mena upon subterranean and submarine conductors, and
had attracted the attention of electricians—particularly
of that most eminent philosopher Professor Faraday,
and that clear-sighted investigator of electrical pheno•
mena Dr. Whitehouse—aud one of these phenomena, to
wit, the perceptible retardation of the electric current,
threatened to perplex our operations and required careful
investigation before we could pronounce with certaiety
the commercial practiCability of the Ocean Telegraph.
" I am most happy to inform you that, as a crowning
result of a long series of experimental investigation and
inductive reasoning upon this subject, the experiments
under the direction of Dr. Whitehouse and Mr. Bright,
which I witnessed this morning, in which the induction
coils and receiving magnets, as modified by these gentlt‘
men, were made to actuate one of my recording instru-
ments, have most satisfactorily resolved all doubts of the
practicability as well as practicality of operating the
telegraph from Newfoundland to Ireland.
" Although we telegraphed signals at the rate of
210.241, and according to the count of one time even of
270 per minute upon my telegraph register (which speed
you will perceive is at a rate commercially advantage-
ous), these results were accomplished, notwithstanding
many disadvantages in our arrangements, of a tempo-
rary and local character—disadvantages which will nott
occur in the use of our submarine cable.
"Having passed the whole night with my active and
agreeable collaborators, Dr. Whitehouse and Mr. Bright,
without sleep, you will excuse the hurried and brief cha-
racter of this note, which I could not refrain from send-
ing you, since our experiments this morning settle the
scientific and commercial points of our enterprise satis-

factorily.
" With respect and esteem, your obedient servant,
(Signed) "SAISL. F. B. MORSE.
" To Cyrus W. Field, Elq., Vice-President of the
New York, Newfoundland, and London Tele-
graph Company, 37, Jermyn-street, St. James-
streot."

strangely also, with them„i" upon" that grim
"hell-kite" of the tale, the ghoul like Rigaud, lat-
terly modified into a d. Blandois, a sort of a roving
Chevalier d'lndustrie ! Separating from them,
however, after a night passed with these chance
acquaintances in the Convent, the Dorrits descend
from the mountain tops into Italy in the grand
cavalcade already particularised. An incidental
chapter introduces the reader especially and for-
mally to Mrs. General, the expensive Chaperon.
The Third Chapter of Book the Second carrying
the whole party in a grand clatter onwards—like
a fragmentary reflection of. " Pictures .from
Italy." And the fourth settling them down
for the time being in a Venetian Palace, whence
Little Dorrit writes an affectionate and charac-
teristic letter to "Dear Mr. Clenusen,"—a letter
bringing to an end the present instalment. Con-
spicuous among the "good things" in this eleventh
number is the mention made casually of Mr. Tip's
travelling costume—one, we are told, of "the very
fullest and completest," insomuch so that " The
world seemed hardly large enough, to ,yield him an
amount of travel proportionate to his equipment.?
The whole description of Mrs. General " driving
the proprieties four-in-hand" is capital. Admir-
able, too, in a very different way is the limning,of
the Alpine scenery with the ascending Night com-
ing up the mountain "like a rising water"--and
when it had risen at last to the walls of the old
convent, appearing as "though that weather-beaten
structure was another Ark, and floated away upon
the shadowy waves." Deliciously ridiculous is
Miss Fanny Dorrit's indignation at Amy's good-
natured care for Minnie Gowan nee Meagles when
the latter has chanced to faint away and be carried
to her bedchamber. " See," observes Miss Fanny,
" what is involved in this ! Can we ever, hope to
be respected by our servants? Never. Here are.
our two women, and Pa's valet, and a footman,
I,and a courier, and all sorts of dependents, and yet
iu the midst of them we are to have one of our-
selves rushing about with tumblers of cold water,
like a menial d Why, a policeman,'! :exclaims
Miss Fanny, "if a beggar had a fit in the street,
could but go plunging about with tumblers, as'this
very Amy did in this very room before oar very
eyes last night !" Consequent upon all which
morbid jealousy as to the maintenance of the
family dignity, we have the most .humorons
description of all in this eleventh number—the in-
cident where a very genteel lady, accompanied by
her son (no other than our old absurd friend Spark-
ler and his mamma, Mrs. Merdle, otherwise " the
Bosom"), take unceremonious possession (during
their temporary absence on the Great St. Bernard)
of a salon appertaining to the Dorrit family, in the
hotel at Martigny. The innkeeper's protestations
of anguish at this untoward casualty furnish the
key to this very laughter-moving description. He,
the innkeeper, hat in hand, ou the return of the
Dorrit Family, declaring to the courier " that ho
was blighted, that he was desolated, that lie was
profoundly afflicted, that he was the most miserable
and unfortunate of beasts, that ho had the head
of a wooden pig," and the like—until Mr. Dorrit's
wrath drowns the innkeeper's apologies in an out;-
burst of indignation. The said haughty aristocrat
being appeased by Mrs. Merdle's elegant protesta-
tions of regret--having been previously propitiated
through the medium of Tip, by the stenographic
explanations of Sparkler, who assures that young
gentleman, udder the exclamation of "old feller ;
you !" that Lady—a mother of mine in Point of
fact [as if the ridiculous wretch had two !]—wishes
no Row :" adding, that the said Lady " Being a re-
markably fine woman, et cetera"—was too many for
this " chap,"—meauing the desolated innkeeper.
The whole affair ending, of course, after all, some-
how satisfactorily, until Mrs. Merdle and the Spar-
kler are transfixed in a dumb recognition of Miss
Dorrit. Until, in fact, the Bosom pulls the partially
paralysed son of it, into their travelling chariot.
" He. was no sooner within," says the historian,
" than the pad of the little window in the back of
the chariot disappeared, and his eye usurped its
place. There it remained as long as so small an
object was discernible, and probably much longer,
staring (as though something inexpressibly sur-
prising should happen to a cod-fish) like an ill-
executed eye in a large locket." Gazing through
whiCh preposterous eye of Mr. Sparkler upon the
Dorrit Family, we leave them for a while in the
midst of their Continental wanderings.

LONDON-BRIDGE TRAFFIC.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Your correspondent is the exponent of a large
class whose endeavour it is to facilitate the traffic over
London-bridge. Having devoted much time to this im-
portant subject, permit me to remark that in my opinion
no adequate relief can he afforded by any of the plans
proposed, whose basis it is to force over the bridge more
than its legitimate traffic, and hence plethora ensues.
The only relief can be obtained by diverting the traffic
that does not legitimately belong to the bridge. At pre-
sent it is the route to the Great Northern and North-
Western Railways, Camden-town, Highgate, Hamp-
stead, &c., as well as to a considerable section of the
western distriots of the metropolis. The olject cf my
proposed new street for Southwark, which is paralletto
and contiguous to the river, is to abstract the whole of
his traffic. It would allot to the several bridges their
respective proportions, and Victoria-street would form
part of the new route to Euston and King's-cross sta-
tions ; thus London-bridge, relieved of near two thirds
of its traffic, would bo found ample for the requirements,
and the public would not then have to cemplain of the
very severe inconvenience and loss of time which they
have now to submit to.
I enclose a memorial to the Metropolitan Board olf
Works from the Brighton and, South-Western ComPa'
Mee, which confirms my view of this subject. When it
is consideredthat between 10,000,000 and 11,000,000 of
passengers arrive and depart from this term
opinion of the directors ought to be conclusive-
to the
further evidence is needful to enable any eeprienjuusd'i-;t:doe
mind to decide upon the subject ; besides which the
tb.e.vast views of of the other companies are coincident, from whetn
memorials will be presented.
I cannot conclude without adding my testimony
very effective manner in which the police carry out the
traffic arrangements. It is surprisintgo hiciayvi
with
titude get over the bridge from day u out more
serious detriment.—Yours very trulh

The report of the directors of this company states that
the net amount at the disposal of the shareholders for
the half-year ending the 31st of July last, after deduct-
ing interest on loaee, is 431,392/. currency, being equal
to a dividend of 91 per cent, per annum on the share
capital ; but from that sum must be deducted 14,052/, to
provide for the repayment of the Government advance,
leaving the available balance 117,340/. Out of this sum
the directors recommend the payment of a dividend at
the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, which will absorb
109,2841., and leave 8,055/. for the next half-year. The
severity of the winter had the effect of limiting the traffic
in the early part of the year, and of seriously increasing
the working expenses, especially in the item of mainten-
ance of way. The extreme degree of frost, and very
heavy falls of snow caused great displacement in
the spring of the year, on the breaking up of the frost.
both in the ballasting and rails, and to this cause is
mainly attributed the excess in the charges for mainten-
ance of way during the half-year. The closing of the
Detroit river by ice for 62 days involved a large and un-
usual outlay for porterage and other expenses at Wind-
sor. The additional capital during the haltyear
amounted to 700,000/. currency, but the actual addi-
tional capital now entitled to interest or dividend
amounts to nearly 850,000/. more than for the preceding
half-year. Of that sum about 500,000/. (including rol-
ling stock) is on account of the Hamilton and Toronto
line, which during the past half-year forms a charge
upon the general revenue of the company. The Hamil-
ton and Toronto line has not earned at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum for the half-year, its traffic having been
at the rate of 23/. 12s. currency per mile per week, as
against 54/. 13s. per mile per week on the main line.
The Galt branch earnings were at the rate of 13/. ss.
currency per mile per week. Bonds bearing in-
terest at the rate of 6 per cent. have bsen converted
into shares during the half year to the amount of
170,875/, currency. The amount put to the credit of
the Government sinking fund exceeds by 1,277/. cur-
rency the amount set aside during the preceding half-
year, and the loss upon the working of the steamers has
amounted to 6,5041. currency. These several circum-
stances have together resulted in reducing the net reve-
nue of the line below the amount required for the usual
late of dividend. The directors have come to the de-
ermination of recommending the proprietors to place to
the credit of revenue account the amount realised during
the last two half-years for premiums on the shares and

tremes of heat and cold, of dry and w©t weather is so
great, where wages and materials are all 80 much higher
than in England, and where, from the lines being single,
there is less time for repairs between the passing of trains,
must always render the charge under this head very
much greater than the shareholders of English railways
are accustomed to. The locomotive expenditure amounts
to 50,5761. Currency, and, the number of miles run by
the trains having been 753,462, the cost per mile is

and the Rifle Brigade, left St. Mary's atrracks, Chatham,
having received the routils to join their respective regi-
ments stationed at Dire iinghaw, Dublin, the Isle of

to rejoin their corps.
The 50th (Queen's Own) Regiment is under orders to
march from Kilkenny, to, it is believed, Belfast. It is
reported that, according to the new arrangements, no
more infantry will be stafnoned in tha former garrison.
Notification has been received in Limerick from the
Adjutant• General's office-in Dublin to forward documents
for the immediate discharge of one scrjeant and 22 rank
and file of the 9th ; three. serjeants and 24 rank and file of
the 17th ; and three serj,iants and 22 rank and file of the
39th. It sets forth tb at it has been issued "in conse-
quence of a reduction of the army and the parties being
wholly unfit for service."' Immediately on its receipt they
will be at once discharged. In a postscript it is also
added, "That as these c:orps (9th, 17th, and 39th) have
each a great number .of supernumeraries, the latter
should be encouraged to volunteer into the E6th Foot,
which is very inefficient."
The Hood, 80, building at Chatham, has been cut
asunder, for the purpose of being lengthened, in order
to adapt her for a screw• steamer, for which she is now
intended.

The Sharpshooter, 8, ficrew sloop, Commander Parish,
arrived at Portsmouth yesterday.
The Dee steamer la: Portsmouth yesterday with
supernumeraries for the 'eastward.
The Cruiser, screw steam-corvette, which sailed from
Falmouth on the 29th for the Cape and East Indies,
was sigrialled with on the 3d irst., in lat. 43 30 N, and
long. 9 18 W, by the barque Masaniello, which arrived
at the above port on Monday. Only one gunboat was
observed in company with the Cruizer, which ship was
close hauled to the west ward, under double-reefed top-
sails, with the wind strong at South.
The Acadia, of Liverpool, Capt. Thomas Thomas, is
still at Sheerness. We are happy to report that no
damage was sustained by her late accident in touching
the ground alongside th e dockyard wall. The accident
was caused entirely through the strong S.W. gale pre-
vailing.

"The railway from Paris to this city," says the
Gazette de Lyon, will be united to that of the Mediter-
ranean on the 10th of October, and the trains will then
pass from one line to the other without any change of
carriage or transferment of goods.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, briefly
recounted the circumstances that bad led to the erection
of the building, which it was intended to render available
for the purposes of public meetings, of concerts, and of
other entertainments to persons of all sects and parties.
Mr. M. GIBSON, in moving a vote of thanks to the
proprietors (part of the guests), expressed his regret at
the unavoidable absence of some of the most distin-
guished champions of free trade, and his hope that the
Free-trade Hall, to the erection of which shareholders of
various political opinions had contributed, would be ap.
plied to purposes tending to remove party and sectarian
prejudices, and which might promote what the Bishop of
Manchester had termed adult education. The leaders of
political parties had recently shown a disposition, to use
a theatrical term, to "star it " in the provinces during
the recess, as they had of late exhibited great reserve in
expressing their views upon political questions, and he
hoped that at no distant period they might have in that
hall from the leaders of all political parties an exposition
of their opinions. The right hon. gentleman expressed
his hope that, now that the war was over, and they had
entered upon what he hoped would he an enduring
peace, large reductions would be effected in the national
expenditure. It would be impossibletoearry out that
conferred free trade policy which had already so much
benefit upon the community unless by a reduction of the
national expenditure they were enabled to dispense with
some of the taxes that now presse,l upon the springs of
industry. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
field before him, and great had a wide
things
would be expected
:
from him. After expressing b'sintention to renew his
demand for a repeal of the duty on English paper, and
deprecating unnecessary intervention in forei.-Ir affairs,
wt
abich might
afford a plea for keeping up the military
eslishts, Mr. Gibson concluded by assuring his
constituents that his opinions with reference to Parlia•
mentary reform, vote by ballot, and other political ques-
tions, were unchanged
The resolution was acgr:ed to, .rind other resolutions
complimentary entirely of a
eatery nature were subsequently proposed and adopted.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON ELECT. —Dr. Tait, Dean of
Carlisle, recently appointed to the bishopric of London,
took his farewell of the people of Carlisle on Sunday
afternoon last, when he preached in the cathedral. Al-
though the weather was unfavourable, the spacious edi-
fice was crowded, several hundred persons, who were
unable to obtAin seats, being obliged to stand in the
choir and side aisles.

THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD "CANARD."—The origin
of the word canard, when employed to signify some un-
founded story, is notP generally known. The following
are the terms in which M. Quetelet relates, in the "An-
nuaire de l'Academie" (article on Norbert Cornelissen),
the manner in which the word became used in its new
sense :—"To give a sly hit at the ridiculous pieces of
intelligence which the journals were in the habit of prnb-
lishing every morning, Cornelissen stated that an
inte-
resting experiment had just been made, calculated to
prove the extraordinary voracity of ducks. Twenty
these animals had been placed together, and one of them
m
having been killed and cut up into the smallest P
pieces, feathers and all, and thrown to the othe°rnsiibnlee-
teen, was roost gluttonously gobbled up in an
brief space of time. Another was then takene from the
nineteen, and being chopped sin:taint
