The necessity of at once establishing aTellegafic s
communication with India was so strongly felt by
t the public, and the claims of the rival lines were so
actively urged by their several partisans, that it was
seriously proposed in some quarters to cut what
seemed to he a Gordian knot by making both lines
—that by the Euphrates Valley to Kurrachee, and
that by the Red Sea to the same point. The Govern-
ment seemed bewildered, and between the two stools_
there was evident danger that the Indian Telegraph .
would fall to the ground. For ourselves, we looked
upon the Euphrates line as practically impossible—
in the present state of affairs at any rate ; and were

was asked what would be the effect of the establish-
ment of the line. When the machinery or tele-
graphic communication was explained-to him, here-
plied : " Mashallah ! it is very wonderful. But iron
wire would soon be cheap in the vicinity of your
posts and wires, and the camels would bring fewer
French nails from Scanderoon." With great satis-
faction, therefore, we learned that at length Govern-
ment had decided on giving such practical support
to the Red Sea line as would ensure the raising of
the necessary capital for carrying
it into execution.
By the contract with the Company the State gua-
rantees to the shareholders four-and-a-half per cent.
on so much of the capital of £BOO,OOO as may be .
called up ; or, in the event of the Company being
unable to complete or maintain the line, under-
takes to take it off their hands, reimbursing them
the sum expended, with four-and-a-half per cent.
interest. These terms are in some quarters
considered too favourable : some people main-
tain that a smaller guarantee would have suf-
ficed: but looking at the enormous importance of
the undertaking to the nation at large, we are m t
disposed to cavil about £4,000 per annum, more cr
less, being hazarded for its achievement.
The line to Alexandria will be completed during
the present autumn, and the Red Sea and India 'Die..
graph Company propose to continue this line through
the Straits of Bab-el-Mandel to Kurrachee, making,
however, for the present, the first section only as far
as Aden. It will be remembered that one of the
great objections urged against this route was the im-
possibility of laying a cable in the Red Sea, or of
keeping it in a serviceable condition. It was, there-
fore, with great astonishment that we read the re-
port of Captain Pullen, of the Cyclops, that, in his
opinion, " no place can be better adapted for laying
a telegraphic cable than the Red Sea." If experience
prove this opinion to be well founded, we hardly
know in what terms to describe those who, in main-
taining that the cable would be cut to pieces, either
perverted the facts from interested motives, or in-
dulged in the wretched vanity of maintaining an
opinion without accurate data whereon to base it.
'We cannot forget that it is the discussion of such ,
points as these that has left us, in one of the most.
critical periods of our history, without the means of
availing ourselves of the aid of scienca to procure
more rapid information as to what was going on in
India, at a time when its attainment was of vital im-
portance, and might save or lose thousands of value,
able lives. It is another feather in the cap of Lord/
Derby that he has come to a decision en a subject' f
which seemed to have paralysed the faculties '
his predecessors in office, and that at length we r? e

plied.
In selecting the Red Sea line, we believe tieat
many important advantages are secured which':.: in
the rival project are totally wanting. The Euphresees
line, until completed to Kurrachee, would have b en
comparatively useless; for we doubt if the h tlf-
savage people through whose district it would 1). un
would have made much use of it at the intermedi ate
points between Aleppo and its eastern terminus, .ex-
cept in the mode pointed out by our Damascene ef at
any rate n:s use could be nsade of it until the rails? ay
was completed and opened for traffic, which welap-
prehend will take place about the next Greek Tin-
lends. Nor do we see in what way the safety of, the
wires and of the staff employed on the line was t be
provided for. The Sultan would doubtless 0.0 his
best to protect them, but the value of that prott action
can be easily measured. In the spring of the resent
year the caravan with the gifts sent by the St itan to
the shrine of the -Prophet at Mecca was pl aldered
by the Arabs on the mai to Damascus, and the Sul-
tan had nothing bet' er to do than to send flesh pre-
sents by another route, and compensate the }pilgrims
who had been plaged. By the Red Sea, route, at
any rate, the cat le is under our own susi-veillauce,
and if the Sultan be unable to protect it
be can pro-
tect it ourselves. The Arabs may perhOs attempt to
injure it at some of the stations, but. they are not
likely to fish it up from the deep; anl the damage is
consequently easy to repair, fir it les on the great
high road of the Indian traffic. Tree distances be-
tween the various stations are a 14.12? convenient, ren-
dering the laying and repairing or replacing the
cable a work of little difficulty, besides supplying at
once, as the works proceed, a means of rendering it
of practical utility before the whole line is laid down.
The stations and their distances from each other are
as follows :

high in popular favour ; and when the Suez Canal

put in execution is a matter on which we fully cal-
culate. The Derby Government, it is true—probably
for the sake of maintaining the traditional character
of the party it represents for clinging to obsolete
ideas and for being in arrear of the age—has quietly
adopted the platitudes uttered by Lord Palmerston
on this question. But we cannot suppose that so
blind a policy can be long persisted in, and that, for
the sake ufnursing an old woman's dream of exclu-
sion, the Government can be allowed not only to
shut out all Europe from the most convenient road
to the Indian Sea, but also to denrive ohrselves of
the means of speedy communication with India, on
which the maintenance of our power in that country
in all probability depend. Were any illustra-
tion required of the folly of reducing the traffic on.

by taking Holloway's pills a permanent cure was effected,
and he can now enjoy every kind of food. Sold by all medi-
