A new programme is announced, to conclude with the farce of " Betsy Baker." The Uc7to says : — " The most interesting- discovery heard of lately is one for laying down submarine telegraphic wires, even across tbe Atlantic with insulation amounting only to a siugle un'ii, instead of 170,000 units of the present cables — thus of course, saving two-thirds of tbe preeeDt expense of thoso cables, and making oceaoic telegraphy cheaper than that even of the land."
