§ MR. LOCKEasked the Postmaster General, Whether any steps are being taken to re-establish the telegraphic communication, which has been interrupted for some time, between England and the Channel Islands; and, if so, how soon it is expected the telegraph will be in working order?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERS, in reply, said, that steps had been taken to re-establish the communication referred to. A cable heavier and more durable than 258 the former one was now being manufactured, and as soon as it was completed it would be laid. It would probably be finished about the end of next month, when the communication with the Channel Islands would be restored.
