Abstract
LAST Tuesday, November 30, the S.S. William Cory left Greenhithe with a heavy submarine cable, to be laid between Salcombe in Great Britain and Cape Finisterre in France. This cable, 105 miles long, has just been made by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, at their works at North Woolwich, and its special object is to establish direct telegraphic communication between London and Brest, so as to expedite the transmission of messages between Great Britain and America by the French Atlantic Cable.
