TNHE successful laying of the transatlantic
i Telegraph Gable marks a new era in this
history of Human Progress. Henceforth, Es-
rope, Western Asia, and Northern Africa he

the battle which decides the fate of kingdom,
the capture of Vienna or Gibraltar, the fall
of dynasty, the triumph of a usurpatiosr; the
birth of an heir to royalty. the death of a Mic
holas or Wellington, in any country which
touches the Mediterranean, the Euxine, the
Black Sea or the German Ocean, will be pub
lished in New York the next morning, if not
on the very day of its occurrence. In a mo-
ment, as it were, we have been thrown into the
immediate intellectual neighborhood of the
whole civilized and large portion of the semi
barbarous world. The rise and fall u stocks
in London or Paris will henceforth be reported
from day to day in the journals Of our seaboard
cities. The boldest operators ia Wall street
will refuse to buy or sell until they have read
the quotations of that days business on the
Royal Exchange and at the Bourse, whose

in Italy, fire in Constantinople, will be dis
cussed around the breakfast tables of New York

though silent transformation in the conditions
of human existence has Just been effected By,
the little wire stretching across the oceans bed
from the coast of Ireland to that of British
America and one inevitable result Of this must
be an unexampled community ofhfeeling and
interest among the nations of Christendom, and
consequent desire for a more. intimate ac-
quaintance with each others doings through
the medium of the Newspaper Press. 1t seems
hardly possible that thousands should not
henceferth read their own journals, who have
hitherto been content with an occasional glance
at those taken by their neighbors; while many
who have hitherto been content with Weekly
issue will now require Semi Weekly or
Daily. In short, Intelligence, always vital
element of growth in wisdom, success in bust
ness, or enjoyment in life, has now become
indispensable to all.
The NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now
more than seventeen years old, which was the
first journal in the world that appeared regn-
larly on an imperial eight sheet at so low a
price as two cents, and which has attained the
Unparalleled aggregate of more than 100000
subscriptions, respectfully solicits its share OF
the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at heavy
weekly cost to deserve. 1t asks especially the
patronage and active favor of Republicans-Of
those who hate all forms of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall be free to
employ his faculties in such innocent manner
as he shall deem best-of those who would
