NEWFOUNDLAND TELEGRAPH BY CON-
munication which appears in the New York
Jo0rnal of Commerce, we are informed that
this scheme for shortening the time consum-
ed in communicating between Europe and
the United States is undergoing vigorous
prosecution. T. effect the purpose in view,
a line of electromagnetic telegraph is in
course of construction from Cape Race,
Newfoundland, across the island, via the
city of st. John, to Cape Ray, whence a
submarine line of l40 miles across the Gulf
of ST. Lawrence to Prince Edwards Island
at Cape East. From the latter it traverses
the island, going through the principal
towns of the district, until it reaches North
unit prland Straits, where another submarine
line often miles will be made, extending to
Cape Tormen, in New Brunswick. From
that point it goes to the boundary of the Uni
ted States, and so on to New York, by an
independent line The total length will be
from 400 to 1900 miles. A company has
been chartered by the BritishColoniai Gov
ernment, undcr the title of the Newfound-
land Electric Telegraph Company, and the
capital has been obtained in the United
States and England. The intention oithe
managers is to have the work completed and
ready for use early in the ensuing summer.
Wrought iron enameedposts will be usedfor
large part of the liue Gisborne's new
insuator will also be employed, and j. is
stated in the communication referred to that
the materials and construction OF the entire
line will be Of the most improved kil d. -
4, Foreign intelligence alone willbe convey
ed over this telegraph, and the arrangements
contemplate that message may be deliver
ed at the company's office, in New York, for
any place in Europeto which the telegraph
extends; or in reverse order, message may
be telegrap phed at any point in Europe for
any lelegraphic point in the United States
A steam yacht will be employed by the com
pany to interceptthe ocean steamers on their
voyagesbetween Europe and New York, as
they npproaeh Cape Race. sysf Ff-4A
A direct communication between St. John
and Ireland will be effected by means Of
steamers, to be run by company Consisting
of parties interested inthe telegrap pbicy ypro-
iect, which steam line will ply. .between New
York and ireland, touching ut ST Juhn.-
When all these arrangements are completed,
it is calculated tn IT only four or FIVE days
will be consumed in the transmission of
news between the Old and the New World.
Even this increased speed will not satisfy
the public, as party of capitalists are now
engaged in testing the feasibility Of a sob-
marine connection between Newfoundland
and the Irish coast, by means of telegraph
wires. These are projects of the first i'm
portance, and should they be successful, are
destined to exert an important influence on
affairs in both countries. United States Gds.
