1.-THE Company has made application to
the Government for guarantee Of Al per
cent on f537, subject to the same condi-
tions as the Red Sea telegraph line, and
this application has been backed by memo
rials from all the leading firms of London
and Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham,
Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Hull, Glasgow,
Paisley and Norwich. ta" .a.
If this application is granted, contracts
will be Immediately concluded fora new
cable, and any negotiations with the Amer
ican government which may be necessary
will subsequently, be entered into.
~ No attempt can be made with any pros.
pect of success to lift the old cable until
the return Of calm weather at the end oi

best circumstances, the expectations with
regard TO this operation are not favorable
Meanwhile it has been definitely ascer-
taired that the existing damage is not al

completed TO the distsnce Of twelve miles
out from Valentia, and the portion taken
up is found to be in perfect condition fol
all purposes.
The experiments lately undertaken BY
a person previously connected with the en-.
terprise. confirms the original inference
that the main fault is about two hundred
and seventy miles from the Irish coaat, a
depth Of nine. hundred fathons. ~
| There Is also fault on the other side
which is though. to be about three hun
dred miles from Newfoundland.
Currents, however. still continue to b,
received, although of kind 90 feeble anC
uncertain as to be useless for any praeli
cal purpose. - %''i1's l'e' !,
