"** 322 A Sydney con temporary says that the progress of the teleifflHteline to the Gulf of Carpentaria JL§«HBHBfe^ ie d hi that dated Cardiyell, January 6, sn^HnraHH telegraphic line has been complenHHSm as Cashmere, the first station on tnBHBB to the Gulf of Carpentaria, and disRHM fifty miles from Carpentaria. Mr. M'Millair makes the line according to, the route just defined, to be just 130 miles to the Etheridge, and 174 to the Western Creek. The route is an excellent one. Iv view of the increasiug interest attached to the completion of telegraphic communication with England we may point to, a paragraph in the Suez mail telegramjs, '" which states that the new submarine cable was successfully working between Penang, Singapore and Batavia. The leWth from Penang to Madras was to be opened in a few days after the mail left Galle. Consequently, long before this period, Batapia has been brouglifc into telegraphic" communication with Europe, and the end of the line has beeu advanced mauy hundreds of miles nearer Australia.
