STREET TO LONDON In LESS THAN NO
TIME
Az he ocean telegraph line Is now almost
4 fixed fact. few details as to its working
arrangements may not come amiss. There
are still many people so unthinking as to IN
uuire what is the practical use of q telegraph
across the Atlantic ferry; and Others Of a
practical turn of mind, ask how much VIII u
cost US for messagess In the first place, the
revolution in the newspaper world will be
something astounding. When Parliament q
in session we shall be able to print IN me
Herald of the next day as much of the pro-
ceedings Of the British Senators as may be
interesting to the American public, Parlia-
ment usually Gets up about two o'clock n
lie morning, but as the difference in time is
about FIVE hours in our favor, We shall re-
ceiye the doings of the sages q Westminster /
at about ten or eleven o'block in the even
! ing, New York time that being several
hours before adjournment, ard quite as early
as We generally receive the proceedings oil
Congress. The transactions IN stocks, the
closing price in consols, the state OF the oot-
ton market, will be sent from Tendon ana
4 Liverpool every day at three O'clock IN the
afternoon, will be received here before noon,
forming The basis Of Wall street operations
Tor ,hat day--in other words, Inc d"ngs Of the
London Exchange will be krcsn in Wall
street before Change hours he I A. will be
, published in the papers Of the Yaas avenIng
before they are laid before the British public.
Transactions on the Paris Bourse will be sent
. ir the same manner. The advantages OF
E this TO our mercantile community can hardly
0 he oyerrated, while the reading public will
, be kept au couraat to all European affairs.
e WHAT will message cost is very i'm
u por,ant question. The British government,
. guaranteeing the company patronage to the
: amount Of seventy thousand dollars per an
y nun, has fixed the maximum rate at four
!, shillings sterling per word. or one dollar Of
Il federal money. This will be divided be-
], tween the stations as follows From Lon
don to Cork, sixpence sterling; across the
n ocean, two shilllngs and sixpence from
u Newfoundland to New York. one shilling
,e The difference in these rates and those o.
lie our inland lines NAV be readily perceived BY
e, the following calculation We published I
" day or two ago an abstract Of the new treat,
Ia between the United States and Great Britain
Of in relation to Central American Affairs
re This abstract occupied column OF small
Z. type Of the Herald, and was telegraphe'
e. from Washington to Us at an expense
" seventy five dollars. Now, if after the ocea
Of telegraph is in working order, one OF GU
London correspondents should happen to Sc
an equally important document, and shout
MI send US an abstract of equal length,
~ should astonish Downing street at an exPens
I, of two thousand dollars-and it would
no worth the money. And while our govern
av ment hesitates about paving seventy thot
