The OCEAN TELEGRAPH.-In regard to the rapdty
with which messages can be transmitted at present
over the ocean telegraph cable, the N Y Herald has
the following:
We believe we are stating the precise fact when
we say that the instruments now in at Trinity
Bay and Valentia, record words at the rate of two
per minute, or one hundred and twenty per hour
improvements will doubtless be made upon this, but
at this rate, the cable can not transmit more than
$500 words per day. If this is truc and we do not
make the statement at random the net income of
the company cannot be less than twenty per cent
upon the capital now invested. even with the present
cable Other cables however, may be laid down at
a greatly reduced cost proportionatey Increasing
