THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-In yesterdays
papers there was published dispatch from
Bombay announcing the appearance OF the
cholera in the Valley of Cashmere. This
disratch was dated London, August 10Th,
10 hours and so minutes p. NJ, and was an
nounccd to have been received at Phladel-
phia August Goth at 10 hours and ID minutes
p. NJ. At first glance the transmission OF
this message would appear to be Il great leat,
but when we take into consideration the
difference of longitude this very short mes
sage of only eight important words took-
nearly five hours to cross the Atlantic.
