New YORK, Oct. 6.
The steamship Arabia, Capt. Judkins, arrived at
her dock at abonl 10 O'Clock, this A. NJ.
The aspect OF the Turkish difficulty is more
Threatening than ever. The Turks are aroused TO
the highest pitch of ianatcism, and call upon
the Sultan TO declare war, or abdicate his throne;
meanwhile, the great European powers are endeav-
oring to induce the Sultan accept the original
Vienna Note. But Austria shows symptoms Of
backing out of the alliance with France and Eng.
land. aud siding with Russia. This news had a
serious depressing influence on the nancy markets.
Another despatch says, iurtheI-
Turkish and Russian affairs still more eomp-
Gated The Austrian government insists on Turkeys
accepting the original note, which it declines. On
the ofher hand, Russia insists that unless Turkey
does accept the note without notification she will
not withdraw her troops from the Piiucipalities.-
No other collective step will be taken by the Four
Powers.
The Emperor of France, it is stated, has again
expressed his determination not 10 interfere in the
Turkish question.
No other news of general Importance is received
by thus arrival, except that the Spanish Ministry
had resigned.

Courier and Enquirer states that company is
now in process of formation, of capitalists in this
country and Europe, for the building of a sub
marine and subteranean telegraph line from New
York to Liverpool.
A gentleman from Massachusetts, who has
been for some years experimenting in the matter.
has discovered method by hich the conducting
capacity OF Geographic wire is increased to an as
toniShlng. power-belng many hundred per cent.
over that possessed by any ofthe wires prepared
by any OF the processes now in use. The same
gentleman has also made a very important i'm
provement in the nude of laying down subma.
rlne and subterranean wire, by which mode the
most perfect Insulation is attained, coupled with
the fullest protection from external injury or In
terrupuon of any kind, and that too, at cost of
less than third Of that ofthe present modes Of
subterranean construction. Both of these i'm
provements have been purchased by the proprie-
tors forming the new company.
Starting westwardly from Liverpool, a line
will connect that port with Dublin (via Holy
head whence subterranean will extend TO Gal
way. From this point! the submarine comes in
play again, until the coast Of Newfoundland is
reached, distance from Galway Of about 1900
miles. Here will be its first station on the Amer
lean continent From this station, "a subterranean
line to some convenient place on the western
coast of Newfoundland, whence a submarine wire
will be laid down to Nova Scotia, where the
connection will be again taken up by the subter-
ranean wire, and continued to New York. The
whole length of the route, from Galway to New
York, as thus marked out, is about $500 miles
The cost per mile for the submarine wire, on the
improved plan, is estimated at less than $780,
For the subterranean portion of the route, the
estimated cost is about 5000 per mile, which is
less than one third of the cost Of such lines now
in use.
The facility, too, with which the line can be
built on the new plan, is such that the constIuc.
ton Of the whole route from Liverpool to New
York can be accomplished in six months from its
commencement; so that if the company begins
its operations, as is now contemplated by them,
as early in the ensuing spring as the state of the
ground and the weather will permit we may
confidently anticipate direct telegraphic COM
municaliOn with Europe by the opening of next
autumn.
