A New Route for u Submarine Cable.

A correspondent Of the Natonai L.tNignccr,
suggests the practicabity Of laying submarine
cable between Europe and America by the way of
tho Azores and the Bcrmudas The advantages
in favor VI such route are claimed to be the
smothness Of the sea great part Of it. owing
tot lying to the south Of the Gulf Stream and out
Of the influence Of the cold water currents of the
north and. therefore, the increased probability Of
laying the cable successfully and also the nct that
tho distance between any two pon,sis less than t,at
between Newfoundland aud Ireland. The writer
says:
"Thc distance from Bermuda to Fayal is less
than from Ireland to Newfoundland. These is
lands stand inytingly of the coasts Of Europe and
America. They stand herculean pillars on which
to rest the cable lfwirc was laid hetwee them
shorter could be carried Ia the shores Of the
Oldand tho New World. One wire between these
islands would serve all practical purposes for IL
long time to come. The route by Fayal woull
accommodate England with ono wire, France with
one, Spain and Portugal with one and Madeira
and Africa with ono. On side the Bermuda
route would DO convenient for one wire to New
England. one for the Middle States and the West.
one for the Southern States and California one tor
Cuba and Mexico, and one for the West Indies and
South America"
