TELEGRAPHING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.— Cyrus W. Field said, at the banquet which was ig him in New York,on Thursday evening ast, that the old cable which was recovered so wonderfully a few months ago, worked better than the new one, but thai the iatter was im- proving every day. The electricians had made some surprising discoveries in regard to sub-marine telegraphing. When tne eiectri- cians originally consulted im relation to the power necessary to send a message across the Ocean, they thought the batte: ould have the force ofafiash of lightning. Butit was also thought thatsucha bigh would burn out the wires. Smallerand ler elec. tric charges had been used, until it was found that the subtle fluid acted perfectly wher the power was very delicate. The other day a Message was telegray actoss the ocean and back with a batte y in a lady's thimbie. Since that time a message has been sent across the water “by a battery formed ofa percussion cap, with & strip of zinc, excited by a drop ef water, the si bulk ofa tear.” ‘These facts show that submarine phing bas been but imperfectly und. |, and authorizes a belief that more wonderful discoveries are yet to be made. - DIVORCES IN Sinad sa Whanaae oe eee ivorce were granted on Thursday - preme Court, all of them on the ground of in- Mi E.
