Mo Monopoly Of the Telegraph.

II needs no abored argument to prove the peneh's
of the Magnetic Telegraph. That invention has
hcome one of the utili,arian facts OF the age; ana
e only recur to it here to set those OF our readers
right, who, like ourselves, may have peen unaef
mistake with respect to the merits OF Mr, " heileg
and his 8. independent Lines, as distinguished from
Mr. Morse, Tor rather Messrs. f. o. }. smith ana
Amos Kendall and the 6 Regular Line. IL Is ali
entire error to suppose that the latter has any 'eseo
rights, which are infrnged upon by the operations
of Mr. O'Reiilev Not only is the telegfaph-buila-
ing field legimately open, but every consldera'ioil
of public safely and fairness demands that there
should be line separate from Morses we SPEAK
thus plainly not because we have any Ill 1eeis
towards the Morse side on the contrary we Wouid
do them any good office that lay in our power ana
really think that Mr.. Morse deserves high honor
With half an eye man may easily perceive how
DANGEROUS it We're TO the business communicated
of course through them, to every human being VINO
buvs or sells-to have only exclusive convey
ance of intelligence and this entirely irrespon-
sible one with no other aim but that OF making the
most money! by what means soever it could.
O'Reillev's competition does away with this dan
ger: and we warmly welcome its approaching
completion.
Besides there is business enough, for that matter,
for three or four lines there is no need why the
popular principle of large market at a small profit
should MT be applied well to the Magnetic Iele-
graph as to newspapers-and it ought to be to the
Post-oflice. We confidently look forward to the
time when the transmission of messages by cleo
tricty will be infinitely cheaper and more common
than has yet begun even to be thought OF. Let
three years tell the story.
The O'Reilley line from the Nortll-from Louis
vile to Nashville-tlence, by way of Florence, to
Memphis $50 miles)-thence, by way of Columbus
and jackson, through Vicksburg, Natchez and
Baton Rouge, to NewOrleans-has been already
nearly completed to Memphis 1t wW be completed
to that point in three weeks from the present time
that is to say, the LIST of May Thenceforward
for some weeks, we shall get important north
ern news quicker from Memphis to this place,
by the river, than by any other mode hitherto. BY
the end of June next, Mr. @ Reilleys lire will be
completed 10 NewOrleans. Of course facts must
then settle the matter. Both lines will have equal
claims upon the public favor, to commence with.
The one that falls behind, Gf either does) will be
the that charges the highest prices, or does the
most slovenly work.

OPINION OF LOUIS PHILIPPE OF THE SUCCESS

following as an extract from a Havre letter. 50 Mr.

soil, Louis Philippe turned towards R and said

HE NEWS VIEWED COMMERCIALLY. The
New York Express of Wednesday afternoon, 29th
ult., says: Our merchants are now in possession of
their letters, and are greatly relieved from the anxi-
ETY. they We're in. All seem to agree that CONNER
cial matters were in better and sopder state, both
in London and France, than was anticipated In
London, consos had fallen from the highest to the
lowest point, about eight per cent Money was
abundant at three and half per cent. Bullion in
the Bank of England, has increased instead of
diminishing. This shows that the English capital
has stood the shock of the French revolution
remarkably well.
In France, we heal of no Bills being dishonored,
except some drawn by the New Orleans Canal
Banking Co., the Rotlschilds, in Paris, which
were rated tor non-accepance; but which it is
stated here, will be paid at maturity. The French
Funds had fallen about twenty per cent. but had
rallied from their lowest point. So far as heard
from, most of the Bills that We're accepted have
been honored and it is stated that things We're
much more settled in Paris than was expected.
Although the fall in French stocks is most Sc
rious, yet it is great relief that the government
have not repudiated the whole debt on the
lrary there is every effort made by the new govern
ment TO sustain public credit.
We regret to state that there has been s1spen-
sion of French house here this morning, Messrs.
Collomb d lseln, gentlemen who are held in the
highest estimation. Their stoppage, ii is hoped,
ample means to pay all. They are under heavy
acceptances for Cotton shipped from the South and
are unable at this moment to sell their Bills on
Paris, position perfectly natural. Their business
has been perfectly legitimate and it is said to have
been successful.
