OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF PORTS.

The following caution is from the llanscatic Vice
Consul at Liverpool.
In consequence of the proclamation made by the
King of Denmark on the 4th of May, whereby the
free ports of Hamburg, Bremen, and Lubbock are de-
cared to be in a state of Blockade, have to all
captains of the risk they in trading TO those ports,
as they will not be allowed to proceed on their voy-
age or to any Prussan port.
And more particularly warn all captains carrying
the Hanscatic flag of the great danger to which they
are exposed from Danish cruizers in putting to sea-

Houses Printing Idegraph.-The line between
this CITY and Philadelphia is now in working order
The news received by the steamer Britannia on the
morning of the 9Th May ut. embracing 2,22i words,
was transmitted TO Philadelphia, according 10 the
certificate OF the clerk in the New ork Office, IN
tbc space of one hour and 50 minutes, being about ~
words or ll3 letters per minute. During an expert
mental trial Il short time since, repeating single
sentence of some 80 or more letters, there were
printed 40 letters per minute, the impressions beng
clear and distinct The advance in tclcgraphng
which MIR. House has made is among other ingenious
contriv anccs due TO his invention of the dctdinnS
keu-board or to be more explicit, the invention OF a
sci of keys which will arrest the motion Of the ma
chincry employed TO break and close the electric
circuit and enable the operator to maintain the cir
cult broken closed at his pleasure. But important
as the rapid transmission of Intelligence is, lis value
is still farther increased by the circumstance that
the message recorded printed, the name given
TO the invention indicates, in the ordinary letters Of
The alphabet This and the key board, in its peculiar
combinations which makes it necessary to but a
single wire form the telegraphic line may perhaps
be considered the most important features of the in
vcntion.
A part Of the machinery consists Of wheel, upon
the periphery of which % types; 20 Of these are
the letters of the alphabet, dot PERIOD and
the remaining hyphen: this wheel is caused to
revolyc by mechanical force, but its motion is con
trocd by the magnet, so that by keeping the cleo
rc current broken closed il be stopped by the
operator who is sending the message from the other
end of the line.
