NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGnAPH ExPEDITIoN.-The
London Times furnishes a report Of the Expedition sent
from England to test the pTaCtIcabIiIty of laying 4
submarine telegraph line across the Atlantic by WY
Of iceland, Greenland and Labrador. The expedition
was composed Of two vessels. the Bulldog aud Fox,
under command OF Sir F. l.. McCIintock and Capt.
Young. Between Scotland and the Farce Islands
sOuudings were readily found ~ Captain NcClintock,
at a depth OF z54 fathOms, with a favorable bottom.
Between the Farce group and Iceland, the greatest
depth was found TO be only 300 flthOms. Crossing
what IL termed the Greenland Sea. the depth was
found 10 be much greater, reaching in some places to
] 500 ~fsthoms, which j., however, 800 tathOm- less
than on the direct route across the Atlantic. Con-
trary to expectations, the east coast OF Greenland was
found free from ice. From the port Of Godbaab TO
Cape Fare~ell, and thence TO Hamlet Inlet, the depths
were very irregular. never exceeding 2.U32 fa;homs,
or 400 fithOms less than by the direct route. The
Labrador coast was also found clear uf ice. Several
Of the hUrds Oh the Greenland coast were found adj

On the passage back 10 ireland Captain VI. obtained
results more favorable than on the outward passage,
the greatest depth being AS iathOms. The greatest
depth obtained hy Captain Young, in the Fox. while
on the way To Greenland. was GA fithoms. Reach
ing Iceland n Bern fiUrl, a party under DR.. Rae
was dispatched 10 the exploration Of the land a. -
practical route. with successful results The party
crossed the island $50 miles, in fourteen days.
Greenland was reached on the lst September. and the
coast examined round Cape Farewell, bottom being
reached at the extreme depth e l.23O fathoms. Far
Their west, OF Julianshsab, a sounding showed a depth
OF 1850 ftthons. The entrance To- that port was
found very favorable. having lGJ hthoms OF water.
n greater depth than Is ever reached by iceuergs.
Both vessels experienced terrific gales, and narrowly
escaped destruction. The results Of this expedition
are considered, on the whole, emiusntly satisfactory.
