However, it is with the reduction of telegraphic rates rather than postal that the Hongkong community, as well as those of all the other Eastern ports, are most vitally concerned. It is an ad-Itted fact that the present rates are all but prohibitive, and li lo but by the utmost tension that is placed on commercial enterprise that existing business will permit the use of the cables. This fact is granted, but how can any appreciative reduction be Introduced in the present state of telegraphic sclence? Mr. VON DER ProXDTEN has

pointed out that the "carrying capacity of long-distance S. WATSON & CO., LD, cables" is a limited one, only too often affected by atmospheric changes such as distant and invisible electrical disturbances, varying earth-currents, and many other technical "handicaps," the very terms of which would be Greek to our readers. And to existence of these long submarine lines the E stern Extension Company has to maintain two most expensively equipped steamers, on which are employed a highly paid staff of electricians besides a larger crew than is ever needed on a merchant vessel. Hence, it is obvious, irrespective of the enormous initial cost of a telographic cable, that a heavy "ORDAN ALMONDS, NOUGAT, BUTTER | charge must bo made for its use

Were there even a shadowy prospect of Mr. HENKIKER HEATON realizing his highly cherished vision of six-penny telegraphy between Europe and the Far East, his scheme would be worth every encouragement and support, but in this case it is obviously a medium for unbosoming himself of a certain amount of clap-trap which impartial investigation must damn, and, which can only be explained away by a knowledge of Mr. HEATON's political methods. It has been notorious that-for-years-past-the-Eastern Telegraph Companies have been worked In a manner so economical that it is a que tion if their efficiency has not been impaired; but notwithstanding this policy. we doubt if either of them has paid over seven per cent. per BANUM interest, on their enormous, and at all
