The Telegraph circuit of the world

At the banquet which Cyrus w Field
gave at Richmond, England, a fortnight
since, in honor Of the fifth anniversary
of laying the Atlantic cable, very inter
esting facts concerning the telegraph
circuit of the world were announced. II
seems that during this month Shanghae,
in China, will be connected with the new
Russian naval station on the Pacific,
and also with Japan. November will
see the completion Of cable between
Singapore and Australia AS soon as
California and Japan are united, in
Simultaneous communication between the
Eve continents will have been accom-
plished. Mr.. Field vii doubtless live to
see even greater triumphs than this
And to him, too, may be justly ascFibed
more and more honor daily for the en-
ferprises already completed Sir Charles
Wingfeld, in a speech at the above men
toned banquet, stated that Indian sub.
marine telegraphy vas greatly indebted
to the successful pioneers Of the Allan
tic cables. The Indian enterprise failed
in 1859, and it was not until after the
Atlantic cable was finished in 1866, that
there was courage enough for an attempt
10 lay deep sea line between the 18th
mus Of Suez and Bombay. AT the end
Of the present year the Telegraph Con
struotion Company viii have laid down
1880 miles Of cable, involving a CAPT
