6[The Submarine Telegraph be-
tween Dover and Calais was laid during
the last week of August, ard England
is now connected with the continent tel
graphically. The operation Of laying
the wires was performed by the aid o.
steamers. Between the paddle-wheels
in the centre of the vessel, was gigan'
TIC drum or wheel, nearly fifteen feet
long. and seven feet in diameter, weigh
ing seven tons, and fixed on a strong
frame work. Upon it, was coiled up,
in careful convolutions, about thirty
miles of telegraph wire, one-tenth OF
an inch in diameter, encased in a COW
ering of gutta percha, the thickness OF
little finger. The point proposed to
be reached-Cape Grinez-the near
est Landmark to the English Coast,
and between Calais and Boulogne, is
distance OF 81 miles, so that sur
plus supply Of 9 miles of wire was
held in reserve for the purpose ci
slackening. The route was marked
by a series of pilot buoys. The YES
sci steamed out at the rate OF three
or four miles an hour into the open
sea, in direct track for Cape Grinez.
The operation OF paying out the thir-
ty miles of wire commenced on a sig
nal TO the sailors to "go ahead with
the wheel, and pay out the wire, "
which was continuously streamed
out over a roller at the stern Ell the
vessel, the men, at every 10th OF a
mile, being busily engaged in rivet-
ing on to the wire square leaden
clamps or weights offrom IA TO "a
lbs., which had the effect of sinking
the wire in the bottom Of the sea,
which on the English coast, commen-
ces at depth of 80 feet, and goes on
varying from that to l00and $50 feet.
The whole of the casting out and
sinking was accomplished with great
precision and success, owing to the
favorable state Of the day. This is
the most extensive experiment vet
made in carrying the telegraph under
water.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1850-10-10

depth for one or more months, and hence
throughoutthe droughts OF summer.
But it is known that reservoir only
one mile square and so feet deep will
hold nearly 400, 200, 900 cubic feet of
water, and will be capable, therefore,
of maintaining depth of three feet in
the Ohio during period of seven DAYS.
II can scarcely be doubted. in face of
the evidences and facts which the author
of this plan has submitted. that depth
of three feet can be obtained by the for
nation ofa few large reservoirs on the
tributaries of the Ohio. and providing
suitable apparatus for the discharge of
the water as If is needed. And il is
equally apparent, that if depth ofthree
feet can be Obtained by this process,
4 four feet can be also secured by an in
crease of the number or size of the res.
ervoirs. But. on this head, the meas
urements of Mr.. Ellet show, that 10 OBJ
tain depth of four feet will require the
provision Of about twice as much water
as would be needed to secure a depth
of three feet. The cost of providing
for draught offour feet will therefore
be about double the cost ofmaintaing a
draught of three feet. The tables be-
fore the committee further demonstrate
that to secure a draught of FIVE feet will
require somewhat more than three
times the volume of water, and hence
involve cost more than thrice as great
as would be needed to support a perma-
nent navigation for boats drawing only
three feet.
The Committee recommend the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the purpose
of making surveys, which was granted
by the Senate.

A letter from Detroit to the Yer
mont Family Gazette. gives the fol-
lowing particulars -ofthe return Of
Mrs. Miller, and her account Of her
absence, which will doubtless lead to
a full explanation ofthe mystery;
Mrs. Miller has returned to her
friends in this city. She states that
it was her intention when she lelt the
hotel at Niagara, to have thrown
herself off the bridge which crosses
over the Goat Island, just above the
cataract: but on arriving at the place,
she had not the courage to do It.
"she was a coward from instinct"
She had previous to leaving the house
put her children to sleep, written let
tiers to her parents, and one to the
landlord stating her intention, and
requesting them TO be kind to her
babes; she had also cut off her curls,
and left them with the letters, in a
conspicuous place on the table.
From that time to the present,
nothing positive has been heard from
her. Her father, however, spent
several months ina fruitless search.
Returning in June or July, he died
of broken heart. Not long since, a
brother OF hers died at Saratoga. His
death, too, was undoubtedly accele-
rated BY the same cause. Learning
the condition of her family. believe
Ishe intimated to them, by letter,
where she could be found, and her
/ willingness 10 return.
Accordingly, friend OF the family
went after her last week, and brought
her home to mourn with her widow
ed mother ever the ruin she has
caused. Her children are with their
father, Major Miller, somewhere at
the South. She states and believe
it is generally understood here, that
domestic difficulties drove her to the
rash act OF leaving her children and
destroying herself, and that after
shuddering on the. brink CT that aw-
fuI guIf, she changed her plan, and
buried herself in a convent or num-
merry near Baltimore. She positively
denies having been in company with
any gentleman, but found her way to
the monastery alone, and which she
left as pure as she entered. AT any
rate she is now with her mother,
who has received her with open
I arms.
