Rev. TREsHAAI DAWES GREGG, chap
lain of Dublin, sends to the New York
Tribune an original translation of the
prayer ofHabakkuk, in which he finds
a scriptural prophecy concerning the
Atlantic telegraph. On former occa-
sions DR.. Gregg has published memoirs
upon the soriptural prophecies of the
locomotive and iron-cladvessel, and he
observes that it has been his privilege
to anticipate his brethren Sin the COM
monwealth ofletters and the church, in
the discovery Of great latter-day truths
as subjects of prophecy in the Holy
Scriptures, and that in many res
pects." TT
According to his version of the third
chapter of Habakkuk, which differs in.
essential particulars from the accepted
version, the ninth verse reads as fol-
SO. Thou Clidst mike thy bow quite
naked seven rods each, spoke Selah.
Thou didst cleave the earth with flow
ings." y ~ T Fl
The explanation Is as follows:

ed of seven compartments, or SeVeIl
may stand for q SiDieieney. The ora
Gle is marvellous in its accuracy"
DR.. Gregg's eleventh verse reads
thus
al. The sun and the moon stood still
in their habitation; for enlightenment
thine arrows went; for illumination
the lightning Of thy spear;

THE Inauguration of submarine tele-
graph Communication by means of the
Atlantic cable, makes it interesting to
enquire into tho difference of time in
the various cities in different parts of
