THE TRANS-MUNDANE TELEGRAPH COM

THE TRANS-MUNDANE TELEGRAPH COM
PANY.
The Washington Correspondent of the Near York
Journal of Commerce sends the following informa-
ton to that paper.
You had occasion lately, in an article upon the
gigantic project formed simultaneously in Russia
in Canada, and in California for girding the earth
with lines, of magnetic telegraph to observe that
they probably originated from concerted action.
The reverse is, however, the case and the prime
of these enterprises in Russia and in Canada
is Mr. Collins, the United States Commercial gent
at the Amoor River, whose interesting Reports
upon the commerce of that region have attracted
so much attention.
Mr., Collins drew the attention of the Russian
Government to the Importance of line oftelegraph
across its dominOns to the mouth of the Amoor
and his suggestions were adopted and will be acted
upon. He went to Canada and there succeeded in
the formation Of Company which has been incor-
porated under the name of the ''Trans- mundane
Telegraphic Company" which will afford mpor-
tant aid in establishing the proposed line through
British America.
The plan is to construct the telegraph from the
mouth of the Amoor Behring's Straits to and
through Russia and British America From Vic
tora branch will be conducted to San Francisco
and another to Canada.
Mr. Collins is now in Washington, but will soon
leave for St. Petersburg, where he expects to com
plete arrangements, through private companies
and government subsidies for completing the line
of telegraph from Novgorod to the mouth of the
Amoor, and thence taking it across the Straits to
Russian America. The distance from Novgorod
to San Francisco, by the route chosen, will be five
thousand miles.
The line from San Francisco to Missouri is com
menced, and Mr.. Collins thinks that, by the time
when it will be in operation, he will have exten-
ded his line to San francisco.

THE LANE DEFALCATIoN CASE.-It is now stated
by the Meseroles that the young lady who figured
in the Lane case, lived with her mother, at $50
West Nineteenth street. 1t is neat four story res
idencc, superior in appearance to those around it,
and evidently occupied by those who were, or who
have grown to be, persons of taste and refinement
The house is neatly furnished variety of paintings
being upon the walls and other articles of taste and
comfort adornng the rooms; but, although not
gaudy it is evident that it could be carried on and
honestly supported, by no clerkship income Of ST.,
900 per year.
Mrs Meserole is widow lady, of a matronly an
pearance, seemingly ofnot than forty years of
age, and still retains the appearance of Youthful
beauty. She wears black dress, and her deport-
ment is in every respect lady-ke. Her daughter
is of the sylph'like order of beauty-not too tall
and well proportiOned; she is, apparently, about
Is yea Of age. The brother, who, like his sis
ter, bears strong resemblance to his mother,
is evidently year or two younger; and there
is nothing about him to denote the "fast" Young
man, as one would be apt to suppose, on hearing
the stories about him and his sister.
Mrs. Meserole emphatcally denies that her
daughter is the mistress of Lane or that she has
ever accepted anything from him but the iewery.
These baubles, however, she says, Miss Meserole
has never worn, as she (the mother) thought them
too expensive for persons of their means. She also
denies that Lane rented the house in Nineteenth
street, but says it is rented by herself, for S675-
not 81, l,0O0-per annum. In regard to the alleged
intimacy with Huntington, "a correspondent of one
of the city papers having insinuated that Miss Mes
erole had held the same position towards young
Lane that she had rmerly held to the forrer
Huntington,) Mrs. Meserole says she never heard
the name till Thursday evening, and that she and
her family have not been in New York much over
year. She accounts for her daughters accept
ance of presents from person of Lanes means, by
saying that she always understood that the young
mans father was in easy circumstances and liberal
to his son; that Lanes mother wealthy in her
own right, and that his grandmother was very rich
which enabled him to make such magnificent pre-
MpgnrDlp has al lsOic uaA I'd rTrIi
she states that she has taken legal measures to
prove the talsity of the statements made in regard
to her family.
Meanwhile, young Lane remains in his cell, per-
tinaciously refusing to converse on the subject,
and apparently broOding the result of his mis-
deeds.

rifle barrels. The scene in the is described as
