TELEGRAPHING BETWEEN EUROPE AND
AMERIcA.-'fhe idea of connecting Great
Britain and the United States by teIe-
graph, is revived in London on a grand
scale. The proposition is to extend the
line from Scotland, by the way of the
Orkney, shetland, and Feroe Islands, to
iceland, and thence TO Greenland; thence
across Davis Straits to Labrador and
Quebec. The entire length of the line
will be $500 miles; and the submarine
portion of it from 500 to 1000. From
the Shetland Islands, it is proposed Ia
carry branch to Bergen, Norway, con
Meeting it there with line from Christi
ana, Stockholn, Gutenberg and Copen-
hagen; from Stockholm a line may easily
cross the Gulf of Bothnia to ST. Peters
burg. The whole expense of this great
international work is estimated consde-
rably below f500,0OO.
