EASZ' INDIA N SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH
• VIA THE RED SEA.

We understand there is a project, supported by very
influential naives, under the above title, for establishing
a telegraph to India in continuation of the system of tele-
gr-aphs decided on by the English Government for the
Mediterranean, and which is to terminate at Alexandria.
The proposal is to lay a number of wires across Egypt
and down the Red Sea to Aden, whence they will run
parallel to the south coast of Atabia and terminate at
Kurrachee, to which the Indian telegraphs extent'.
C•'mpfete powers have been very lately obtained from the
Ottoman and Egyptian Governments for the above pur-
pose, and the conditions secure complete independent
action on -the part of the company of the governments
through whose territory the line is to pass, and are in
every respect most favourable. The stations ate so chosen
that 490 statute miles is to be thegreatest distance between
any two of them, and they will be at places where there
is a military fore, such as Kosseer and Jeddah, or on
British territ ry, as Aden and the Kooria Mooria Is-
lands lately ceded to us, or on the territory of the
Imium of Muscat, who is our close ally, at Rasil Hadd.
The Red Sea is the regular commercial route, it free
from any danger of interruption, and our influence on it
has been so long and•so completely established that, irre-
spective of the security afforded by the stations them-
selves, no possible danger of interruption can arise. Our
steamers will be able to receive and send instantaneous
news at Aden and Suez.

Complete charts and soundings, taken under the
orders of the Eist India Company, exist all the way
from Suez to Kurrachee, and across Egypt a railway
and highway exist, so that the only thing to be done is
to manufacture the cable in England, and then to lay it
in latitudes where the winds are temperate and steady
ten months of the year, taking as a guide the existing
soundings.
The proposed line will excite no political jealousies,
and the cost of protection may be said to be nil.
The communication from Kurrachee to Alexandria
will, by means of relay batteries, be instantaneous.—
