From his wings rich incense cast;
And swcely the thrush sung his ev'ning song

TELEGRAPH BETWEEN EUROPE AND
AMERICA.-Thed idea ofconnecting Great
Britain and the United States bv tele-
graph is revived in London on a grand
scale. The proposition is to extend the
line from Scotland, by way of the Ok.
ney, Shetland and Fproe Islands, to Ice
land, and thence 10 Greenland; thence
across Davis's Straits to Labrador and
Quebec. The entire length of the line
will be $500 miles; and the subma-
rlne portions Of 1t from 1,40O to 1900.
From the Shetland Islands it is propo-
sed to carry branch to Bergen, in Nor
way, connecting it there with line TO
Christian, Stockholm, Gotterburg and
Copenhagen; from Stockholm a line
may easily cross the Gulf Of Bothnia to
st. Petersbureh. The whole expense
OF this great International work is esti
mated considerably below $500, 900.
