A New YORK correspondent OF the
Boston Traveller states that "since the
consolidation and attempted amslgama
ton Of the Western Union and Atlantic
and Pacific telegraph companies various
rumors have beel aAost 10 this city con
corning the formation of a new company
to compete with the monopoly. After
considerable investigation, | trace the
origin of the scheme to Mr.. Oliver Ames
(brother of the late Cakes Ames). The
idea appears to be that a company shall
be formed Of capitalists willing to invest
from three to eight million dollars, to
commence with aud build q line East to
Boston and other important points in
New England, and also to construct
wires to Cincinnati aAd other points
West. The idea is to supply cheap,
rapid telegraphy, and give special atten-
ton to business dispatches. Beyond q
general idea Of the scheme nothing is
yet known, though the gentlemen inter-
ested have been promised immediate
support by several men Of large
meaOs here. l am informed that a
certain well.known Spectator in Wall
street offered to put up S75O.OOo on
Thursday last, out the parties declined
10 entertain it, as his reputation was in.
