A NEW IpEA.--Mr. J. b. Lindsay, of Dun

startling thcory-that of forming an cleo
tric telegraph hctwixt Great Britain and
America without employing submerged wires,
or wires of any kind. At the meeting in the
Athenpum, Mr.. Lindsay illustrated his
method. \ large trough of salt water was
employed, across which he transmitted the
electric current without any metallic con-
ductor, the water itself being the only me-
dunn of communication. Mr.. Lindsay COM
putcs, that the cost of the necessary battery
and land wires to establish II communication
between Great Britain and America, would
not exceed EGO, 900.
The idea is not altogether "ncw' but Is
q practical absurdity. The lighting flash

Ing the receipts have been nearly double Of prcvi-
Gus weeks (somc 200 packagcs.) The indications
that the market will still be in short sup

have been more uniform and firm from week to

IN connection with continuously almost bare market
