We referred at 8omo luogth ia our last nnaiber to the neccsBity of an iDdepondent tul> graph line between Cauadii aud ISnropu. We then stated that under prevent arrange- nientn, the pt!ople of Ciinada had no right to land a wire on Newfoundland, or it8 di pen at Iceland and Blanu Sablon in the htrait« of Belle I.-Ie, or at Oaspe. This will however, be the bhortent of all the exi^tiDg lines, a» well as of all the contemplated li es. Tre distance from Iceland to Blanc iSnbloti, is 132 > miles, while the cable of 1865, from Vulenlia in Irelnn6 1,852 miles; dency of Labrador, that the whole business I French cible to St. Pierre, 2 584 miles. of tell graphy between Europe and this Con- tinent, was now contriilltd tiy a monopoly in the Uiiittd States, and thai Csnada was de pendent, for all Eiiroptan intelhg tiice, on telegraphic lines controlled by foreigners. We alluded to the effurts that have been miide bv enterprising Canadians, with par- ^^7/-7y This is one of those public and nationaV measures which deservrs the supp rt of tbe P'Opli- and goveiniuent of Cana(la,an(l there should be no hi silation in granting every HSsistrttice that may be in thi ir power.
