TEtIEeRArnic COMMUNICATION ,yrsn IRErAsp.
IA late London paper referring to the fact that
valen,ia in Ireland, Is soon to be put in direct
Econnnnicationw with the United States by means
of the sub-marine telegraph, anticipates an. en-
lire revolution in the state of commercial and
other atftirs between us and England Itl
says:
Our present postal arrangements will be to-
tally nnspited TO the velocity OF communication
which the telegraph will have rendered so de- 4
sirable. Letters that now take nine or ten days
TO reach their destination must in great measure
cease. when n message can be flashed In few
minutes across the Atlantic, and the prices of
corn, or provisions, Of the funds, be received
as aaisked as the tightening can make res-
iponse.
The time has really arrived when our public
boards, gentry, merchants and traders shonld
hestir themselves. The electric telegraph viii
have rendered Liverpool obsolete rs an Ameri-
can packet station, and the long and dangerous
channel navigation must be sconrted by the I
whole country. Postal communication with
The u. States can only be maintained by n fleet
line of steamers which shall be able to run across
FROM Galway in three or four DAYS The neces-
silly Of the case, the exgency of the times, and
the telegraph will at last bring round that con-
summation SO desirable, and Galway, by the
force Of circumstances, must he the transatlan-
tic racket station for Britain ~
