In order to ensure a safe and practicable route for the cable from Hongkong to Labuan, soundings have been taken along the proposed line of route, which has only been partially surveyed for Admiralty purposes, and it may he remembered that the Company's steamer Recorder was told off in December last for this purpose, after executing repairs to the exining line between Hongkong and Haiphong and alter renewing a portion of the cable to Macao. The results of that expedition are not without laterest, as it may be presumed that the soundings taken will be duly forwarded to the Admiralty for loco poration in the next edition of the Admiralty chart, and also sa revealing. between the zoth and 12th degrees of north latitude, the existence of an ocean valley 500 miles in length at a depth of over 2,000 fathoms, It is worthy of note that though the duplicate cable, which may be expected to be completed and opened for traffic before the end of the year, will cost about Lac0,000, it is a work almost of supererogation, certainly one not required or justified by the existing traffic -that is to say, one cable can easily carry the whole of the traffic to and from China The object aimed at is to give greater communication assurance and security to between India and Europe, and between this Colony and Chian

WASHINGTON, January 2ąth, The authorities have been in active communi- cation the past few days with Minister Thomp. son and Admiral Benham at Rio. Secretary Herbert admitted ibis afternoon that the Gor.
crament was in correspondence with the American representatives in Brail over the situs tion there, but says nothing as to the nature of the advices received. It is thought, however, that Admiral Benham has applied for instructions on some points connected with the mediation of affairs.
Secretary Gresham tonight gave out the fol- lowing: The American Admiral has no instructions to act in the capacity of mediator between the Government of Brazil and the insurgents. It is not believed here that he is acting ia any such capacity. If a collision bas occurred in the bay between our war-ships and the insurgents war-ships we have not been Jaformed of it,"
The Secretary added that it was quite likely that a crisis was imminent, and that news might 'be expected at any time.
