EXPERIMENT OF AN AMERICAN INvENTION.--We find
the following in the London Times Of the Sth ult:
"The first complete set of lamps forming the numer
ical code of signals, invented by Mr.. W II. Ward Of
Auburn, United States, and termed the 'ocean tele
graph lone of which tried six months ago. have
been made according to admiralty instructions, for
experiments on board the channel feet yesterday
received at Woolwich and tested last night at nine
o'clock at the masthead ofthe flag ship Esgard, under
the inspection of commander iawker Mr. Thomas, hr.
Petey and other officers ofthe yard who directed the
transmission of course OF signals, which replied
to from different points on the shore. 1t stated
that the lights reflected as signals by this and IN
genious method were distinctly read at the distance Of
two miles. The improvement now effected in opera
ting with the various red white and dark shades from
the deck of the ship appeared to satisfy committee
as the facility with which messages may be dispatch
ed from ship ship and shore well az the the bril-
iancy of the lights and they stated that the invention
was perfect with one exeeption-namely the weight
of the lamps, each Of which exceeded thirty pounds
and it was their desire that this slight drawback should
if possible be remeded. Further experiments arc
ordered to take place on future occasion.
