There was a large attendance of the Catholic Debating Club and their friends at their rooms, Broad St., last night, to hear Mr. F. Oakley's essay on Shakespeare. The paper, which took up nearly an hour to read, was listened to with great pleasure and interest by the audience. " The visitors and' members were loud in their praise of the paper, and expressed a hope that Mr. F. Oakey would soon again favor the club with another essay on a similar subject.

He has been carrying on "experiments for a long time, but refuses to reveal his methods beyond saying that the system consists in confining microeophone currents, which themselves are very weak, to the care of massive electrical waves, which gather them up and speed them along for indefinite distances. His system has been successfully tested across the Straits of Messina, and is now being tried on the Trans-Atlantic cables to the United States and South America.
