A Telegraph in India.—The Tvrms says that there are persons now prepared, at very small expense, in a very short time, and by methods which seem palpably practicable, to bring India into such connection with England that whatever is known one day in Calcutta may be known that day week in London. Of course, the agency is that of the telegraph; There is nothing new in the principle, but there is something very striking in the coincidence by which the facilities in question have been created. At the south eastern corner of the Mediterranean basin lies the port of Alexandria, From Suez, at the opposite side of the isthmus which connects Africa and Asia, to Aden, pur own settlement, at the outlet of the Red Sea, the distance is less than 1,500 rhiles; from Aden to Kurracheer-the most convenient port of India—the mileage ;is about the same; so that the space tb>be rtiayersed between Alexandria, a point? ; almost at our door, and Kurrachee, a town standing on the Indus itself assumes no very considerable proportions, and is besides divided admirably for the purpose in view. But are thousands of miles of cable to be had at a moment's notice ? As it happens, they are. The Atlantic Telegraph Company, in the exercise of their discretion, have decided on not immediately renewing the attempt to connect England with the Uinted and their cable is disposable for a similar enterprise in another direction. The cost would be small. The sum of £300,000—little more than the amount of which a single railway company was robbed by a single servant—will jink Alexandria wiih Aden. The connection of Aden with Kurrachee will be more costly by i_ 100,000, but £700,000 wbuld complete the business; and so plain are the prospects, and so confident the projectors, that London, it is distinctly averred,, could be brought within a week's distance of Calcutta almost as soon as the troops now leaving these shores will arrive before Delhi. To speak more precisely to the point, we are assured that this most desirable communication can be actually established before the end of the present . year. ' •■ ••"*■'■
