THE INDIAN AND AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAPH.—
We gather the following details from Mr. Gisborne's me-
morandum of his proposal to connect Australia by a line of
telegraph with the eastern extremity of the island of Java.
The whole distance from Java to Moreton Bay is 3,024
nautical miles, being 50 miles more than the proposed line
from Ad, nto Kurrachee. The estimated cost is £100,000.,
being the same as the estimate for the last-mentioned line.
This sum Mr. Gisborne proposes to divide among the colo-
nies in the following proportion, viz., Victoria 58 5-16 per
cent. ; New South Wales 2212-16 ; South Australia 7 4-16;
New Zealand 5 11.16 ; Tasmania 5 5-16 ; and Western
Australia 10-16. The new colony of Queensland is not
included, but, if nothing occurs to prevent the intended
separation, that colony will be able to bear a fair proportion
of the above divisions, as Moreton Bay is likely to derive
great benefits from the undertaking if carried out—Aus-
