THE TELEGRAPH IN AUSTRALIA
The Ind0-Australian Cable Utilized-l
Message FOrw rdcd to London.


Message Forw arded to London.
SYDNEY, N. s. w., July s, 1872
am at length enabled to announce the fact that
the Indo-Australian Companys cable, after lying
Idle for months at the bottom of the Java Sea- has
been utilized.
Ere this letter reaches the Empire City news
transmitted by it from the antipodes to the older
world will be familiar to the readers Of the HERALD
and many will suppose that communication by wire
Is complete to the capitals Of Australia SUCH how
ever, is not the case. On the Goth ult. despatch
was received from Mr.. Todd, superintendent Of the
land line and construction parties under date May
%. Mr.. Todd was then in Northern Australia and
reported having sent a message through to London
and obtained reply within two days. Agap of $50
miles OF the most dcut portion had to be connect
ed, and he anticipated that not before September
would it be complete. Three parties were working
upon it, but owing to the obstacles which had to be
surmOunted In transmission of material, ratiOnS,
&C., progress was very slow. Arrangements were
at once made to bring horse despatch into requi-
sition, and for time Obviate the complaints made
by the cable company and the public that the gov
eminent OF South Australia had not kept faith,
though they had margin OF six months between
the time they were bound to have their share OF
the work completed and the present date.
FIRST DISPATCHES.
The first kilograms were received for transmits
sion from this end on the 18th ult When they will
reach England Is prObematica. 1t Is admitted that
even when Thoroughly completed communication Is
almost certain to be frequently interrupted, and
that at 1t will be impossible to effect repairs
native cable via Queensland very little dependence
can be placed upon regularity OF transmission.

ed assassination OF Revenue Detective Brooks, three
years ago, was met last evening by James Kane
and five others, members OF the Moyamensing Hose
Company, who demanded an explanation OF some
thing he had been known to utter against Alder
man McMuin. After Dougherty had been par
doned by the Governor few months since, releas-
ing him from serving out the full term Of imprison
ment imposed for participation in the above
affair, 1t appears he has been In the habit
Of denouncing McMun In all kinds Of
charges. The charges reached the ears of the
Moyamenslngs and being deslrOus of avenging the
assault upon their leader by Doughertys partner In
crime, they were glad of an opportunity to have
the matter out. DOugherty refused to give any
explanation concerning his statements In refer
ence to McMullin, whereupOn Kane plunged a
knife into his stomach, creating q terrible wound
from which he died this morning.
He refused to make any disclosures about his
assailant, though conscious that his injury was
fatal.
Kane was identified by q witness Of the assault
and arrested.
