calculations respecting its prospective prof

-, The company assume the work 10 cost
all complete, 81 200, 900, 1t is calculated
by the company, we believe, that they
can communicate about 1900 dispatches
of ten words day on a SINGLE wire; or
with seven wires, which we understand
is The number to be Insulated in the cable
now constructing for them. 10000 des-
patches per day. We have reason TO be-
lieve this isan oyer-statement of the wor.
king capacities of a line, Of that Length.

was argued by distinguished English
engineer, only the other day, that signals
upon the line which was about 10 be laid
down between ireland and America would
require about two and a half seconds 10
arrive at their destination, and that, after
each signal, another four and a half Sec
onds must elapse before the has was free
to receive another eclectric wave. Each
word of average length would thus occu-
py about a minute, and each dispatch Of
twenty words would, with the necessary
signals, and unavoidable repetitions,
require about half an hour, thus making
the limi, or possibility about fifty messa-
ges in twenty-four hours. No one needs

Assuming, then the latter rather Than
other estimate, to beihe true basis Of cal
culalon, and multiplying The 6fty messa-

should have $50 messages Of 20 words
per day. The rate Of charge which has
been fixed upon, subject, of course, to con-

Important from Europeans Panic In Eng
land and on the Continent.

The advices from Europe, received last night
by the steamship Baltic, show that the intelli-
gcnce Of the progress Of the revulsion here had
already begun to produce its effect not only in
England, but all over the Continent. The latest
dates that had been received in London from
New York, on the departure of the Persia, was
the 30th Of September, up to which time there
had occurred only the bank failures In Philadel-
phia. Baltimore and Providence. But what most
awakened the public alarm in Europe was the
great decline in our rates Of exchange on Eng
land which brought home to il the fact that VIC
should establish drain OF specie from there
The tone OF most of the journals still hopeful
that this would not be permanency. and that
affairs on this side would rally. They had
therefore a fortnight more Of our panic 10 come
upon them, with all its attendant disasters and
final result in our complete suspension OF specie
payments.
The steps that were being taken through
out the great capitals of Europe indi-
cate the commencement there Of panic
as violent If not worse than ours. The
Bank Of England had advanced its rate Of dis
stated that fears were entertained Of further
advance Of one per cent. The Bank Of France,
that had just been expanding suddenly raised its
rate from - 70 g. per cent and in Hamburg
the rate Of interest was already at eight per cent
The London CTroaicie states that while the Bank
Of England had stock Of only four millions Of
pounds Of notes which il could iesue, the de-
mands for discounts amounted in one day to ono
million Of pounds In Paris and Lyons the
failures among the silk houses had begun; and in
Glagow Q number Of houses engaged In The
American trade had already suspended, their
Liabilities amounting TO million and bali
sterling. In Manchester from sixteen TO twenty
failures are announced. Under the panic caupcd
ly tho first flush Of the news that we should
draw specie to this side, the public funds fell
little over three I'D q hall per cent, touching

make large returns by rigorous adherence to The
cash principle, We see no reason why commercial
establishments may net profit by their exameae
But when it is not possible TO carry on business
On this system, merchants should make it a fixed
rule never to grant 10 their customers longer
period Of credit than six months. Even this IL
TOO long, for it aaords the retailer the facility a
turning over his stock twice, and, if he be dis-
honest, of increasing the amount Of his indebted
ness. Besides this, it should be recolected thai
the facilities of communication afforded by the
railroad and the telegraph are now SO great that
there is 10 longer any necessity for such large
stocks as were formerly kept-a necessity which
constituted the only Legitimate argument in favsr
of long payments.

which requires careful consideration and refee-
ton. Now that movement in this direction il
