Curiositie. OF Atlantic Telegraph

The Courier dW Hare sets forth a
striking result of the laying of the Trans.
atlantic telegraph. 1t says:
New York is situated nearly rs de-
grees of longitude west of Paris. The
earth in its daily rotation travels
through 800 degrees in twenty-four
hours, from which it results that every
fifteen degrees to the west of the frst
meridian placed at Paris is one hour
later. When it is noon at Paris it is
only II o'clock at IL degrees to the west
of that city. And as New York is IS de-
grees to the vest of Paris. il follows that
it is o'clock in the evening at New
York when it is midnight at Paris Sup
pose, then, that great edifice in Paris,
the Opera for example, takes fire at a
quarter past twelve at night on the lst
of September next, the event is imme-
diately telegraphed from Paris to New
York, and is dated: Paris quarter
past twelve at night, lst September -
The news arrives in New York, let Us say
in two hours, to make ample allowance
for interruptions, &c; the dispatch,
dated Paris, lst September, arrives in
New York at a quarter past nine in the
evening of the 3lst August, so that
New York manager could appear on the
stage, and after the three customary
bows, could thus exptess himself: La
dies and gentlemen-I am sorry to have
to inform you that the Opera at Paris
has been destroyed by fire three hours after
the present time Our director has just
transmitted to his Paris confrere his con-
dolence on the disaster ,ohich is going 10

that this house should vote sum of money, not

purchasing estates which may be offered for sale
in the encountered estate court in Ireland, such
estates to be sold in small lots to the occupying
