The london correspondent of the National IN
te1icsmow predicts that the next triumph Of the
marine telegraph will be the communication be-
tween England and India, and it is not considered
at all sxtravagant to suppose that the great An
glo-eaxon communities in South Africa and Aus
tralia will be, before long, brought into direct
sommunication with British India, England, and
the United States. thus connecting the struggling
and fvasmenting Empire OF Great Britain into =
compact whole. The Same writer says that the
aggregate length Of wires 70 connect England with
all her colonies, settlements and dependencies,
would BE- about q 900 miles, and allowing 20 per
cent. for stock, the whole length would not be
more than 5000 miles. The cords necessary to
perform this work would each of them be shorter
than that which at present connects Newfoundland
With ireland, and not Ootld touch any po,oerfl
foreign STATE. A London paper has the following:
'Ths mere shipping kilograms to and from all
these places and England would be of incalculabie
importance to merchants, shipowners, and seafar.
ing people, and the political kilograms would be of
infinite value to the Imperial and Colonial Govern.
mspta From the above named colonies, settle
ments, and dependencies come the most precious
and the most useful articles Of merchandise and to
them are sent the staple manufactures Of Great
Britain. Millions Of money would be saved to the
population Of England every year in articles of
consumption BY English and colonial merchants
knowing the state Of the home and colonial
markets BY telegraph. The British squadrons in
