e.oo THE CABLE COMPANY.
> (From the Jamaica Gledner 0f21 May,)

We published, on the 18th inst. an
important memorandum, prepared by NJ
r. c.. Grosyenor, now IN this island, On
the position and claims of the West Iu-
dlap1and Panama 4sT Telegraph Company.
supporting the petition made to the
Governor of Jamaica blythe Chairman.
of the Company for an increaseoof sub.
sidy from $4,000 per anhum to $500,
and for other notifications o fl.the ex-
listing arrangement. The Memorandum
now published has been drawn up for
the information of the members of the
Legislative Council. e..e5oa
Before passing to the discussion of
the arguments of MIR Grosvenor, it is
but fair to say that he has stated his
case in q very ineligible and winning
manner, and that after reading the Me,
~morandum, one regrets he had bot q
better client. We all know that he
has failed on his mission in other West
Indian Colonies, but that was a foregone
conclusion. The combined powers of the
whole English bar would not convince
the Colonies of their indebtedness to the
Cable Company and the necessity of new
arrangements favourable to that Company.
And as it has been in Barbados, Trinidad,
and Guiana, so it will be in Jamaica,
$50 Mr. Grosvenor gives a brief history
of the Company since it commenced
operations in 1870, and states that the
money expended in bringing the system
Into good working order amounted to
e., 600. The result has been, he SAYS,
nothing but disaster and disappointment
to the shareholders, ADD . nothing, in
fact, but 9 ridiculously mistaken estimate

satisfy our aspirations, for the present at
least, and would amply meet the require
ments of our trade as it exists just now, a
trade which is being fast mOnopolized by
steamers of various burdens, which are
now compelled to lie some miles from the
landing places, to the obvious detriment of
the of the port. Are we, then, to
incur the expense even Of this lesser
undertakings Will the trade Immediately
OF not remotely prospective warrant the
expenditure ? We fear not. The credit
of the Island stands deservedly high. We
have met. hitherto without faltering any
engagement to which we have been pledg-
ed, and it would be easy enough to borrow
GllOO,OOO or more, on the faith OF the
public sOlyency, Capitalists too, where
the security is as u~ndoubted as ours, prefer
lending money at long periods of reder9p-
tor, and are always disposed to accept
lower terms when the loan3is spread oTer
aLprotracted time. 5eaWitness a. rsAent
proportion from the holder of one half of
our Water Wor's deDentures, who, seeing
that his money will be payable IN three
or four years, has offered to extend the
time for payment % years more, and to
reduce the interest from 6 per cent TO
5 per cent so that he might holdilwhat
he knows to be valuable security for the
longer period. We are Warranted then in
saying that it would be no difficult mat
ter on the faith of the country to borrow
the sum necessary TO carry out the lower
estimate at 4 per cent interest, payable
even in so long a time as 100 years.
This operation, however, would involve an
annual draft on our public finances of
$4,000 for interest and sinking fund,
scarcely more perhaps than one third of
which might be recouped from additional
tonnage dues, which would then be pro
perly levied OH account Of the enhanc-
ed accommodation of the port the remain
der would have to come out of the general
taxation of the country, while it is by no
means clear that there would at once be an
appreciable increase of trade in consequence
of the outlay. We fear that in these
circumstances we shall for The present
nave to be content that we nave in our
possession so valuable a scientific record
as Capt. Alexander has presented of the
capabilities Of the port. 1t will without
doubt attract attention elsewhere, and
when-%he- proposed Panama Canal
approaches its completion, and trade
gravitates, as iG will Go, nearer ard
nearer to our neighbourhOod, we nIay
better see our way to undertaking an
enterprise which financial reasons Just now
forbid our attempting. Certainly there
is no reason to regret the money that has
just been spent on the survey. The Engineer
has done his work well; he has set at rest
questions long the subject of disc ussion,
and we are fully persuaded that practical
and beneficial results sooner or later will
follow.
