During the present month, a greal
combination of Science, Capital, and I'm
terprise makes an experiment of the
most momeutous Importance. At the
very time we are writing; American anG
English war-stear1ers are practically
engaged in the Atlantic, in conveying
the telegraphic cable, which, almost as
rapidly as Thought, is to make nations
converse across the Ocean. By the
Fourth of July-as our calculation runs
the electric Communication between
Ireland and America will be completed
We should not be surprised at receiv.
ing the news on the Fourth.
Once that the Telegraph is at work
If it succeed-Lord NAPiER will be
terribly worried, no doubt, by the ne
cessity of frequently communicating
with the British Ministry in London.
The latest experiments in England
have resulted in writing thirty five let
tiers in a minute, equal to sevem atords,
through 5000 miles of cable. This
was effected by the printing telegraph
machine of Mr.. HtGHEs, u country
man. The great English telegraphist,
Mr.. WHEATsoME, could only write nine.
teen words in eighteen minutes by lis
process. Thus, one American (MoRsE)
invcnts the Electric. Telegraph, aad an
other (HUeHEs) improves upon it SO
greatly as infinitely to add to its com
%pleteness. So we advance.-I'hiIadeL
