Ihe avcraee speed ol the ship, from the time
the splice was made until we saw land, whs a
little less than bve nautical miles per hour, and
the cable has been paid out at an average ol live
and one-hnli miles per hour. Tne total slack
was less than twelve per cent.
The weather hu been more pleasnut than I
have ever known on the Atlantic, at this season
ol the year. We have had alternate days ot rain,
sunshiue, togs, and squalls.
I have requested Mr. John C. Dean, Secretary
ot the Anelo-Amcrican Tclcorapb Company, to
send you, by the tirst opportuniiy, lor the Asso
ciated Press, thirty-five copies of his diary,
which will give yon a detailed account ot the.
tips and downs experienced in laying a cable
across the Atlantic.
We have been in constant communication
with Valencia since ihe splice was made on the
lu;h insi., and uave daily received news from
Eiirope, which was posted up outside of the
telegraph otlice lor the information of all on
buaid the Great Eastern, and she hailed to the
other ships.
RKCOVF.RY OK LAST YL'AIt'S lost cable.
After taking in coals the telegraph fleet will
siul for the spot where the cable was lost last
ear, recover The end, and complete a second
line bctw-eii Ireland and Newfoundland, and
then the Medirag wiil proceed to lay the new
cubit; across the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The
ruble will be open for business in a tew da.V3, and
all iiiessuse-- sent to Furore in the order they
are received at Heart's Content.
I caunot bud words suitable to convey my
admiration of the men who huve so ably con
ducted the nautical, engineering, and electrical
departments ot this enterprise so successfully
amidst dilliciilties which required to be seen to
be appreciated. In fact, all on board of the
telegraph fleet, and all connected with the
enterprise, have done their very best to have
the cable made aud laid in a perlect condition,
and He who rules the wind aud the waves has
crowned their united cH'orts wit hpertoct success.

Frevtons Attempt to Lay the Cable.
The first attempt to stretch a telegraphic wire
across the bed of the Atlantic was made in the
summer of 1h67. The cable was coiled half on
board the United States Bteamship Miaaara,
and halt on the British steamer Agamemnon.
They bepan to lay it in mid-ocean on the 20th
of June, the XJiaqara proceeding towards the
American coast, the Af7')irmnon towards Ire
land. Alter the wire had three times broken,
the attempt was given up. The following
August it was renewed on a different plan. Tue
shore end was made fast at Valencia Bay, and
the A iariura began paying out on the 7tii, thi
purpose being that the Agamemnon should
begin operations when the Niagara bad ex
hausted her half ot the cable. On tho llth,
alter 33. mile had been laid, the wire broke
aiiiiin. ThP third attempt was made with the
same vessels ia 1858. The ends of tbe cable
were ioined in mid-ocean on the 29th of July,
and ou the 6th of August the two ships arrived
simultaneously at their respective destinations.
For a few days it was possible to talk across the
ciean. Mr. Buchanan and Onecn Victoria ex
changed Inendly urcctings, the people went
wild with rejoicings; the mysterious lie Sauty
issued his brief bulletins; then the electric cur
rent grew weak and uncertain; a lew faint
quiverings were fe'.t, and all was stilL Some
unknown cause ,at the bottom of tho sea had
destroyed the Insulation, and the wire was
useless.
But Mr. Cyrus W. Field, who had fathered all
these enterprises, was not a man easily duunted.
He had proved that a cable could bo 1 nd between
(iieat Britain and America, and he believed that
it was possible to make one which would work
when it was laid. Certain defects in the paying
out machinery, and the more seiious faults in
the construction of the cable ituclf.were avoided
the net time, and on the 21st ot July. 1865, hn
sailed apam from Valencia bay. paying out the
costly rope over mo stern ot tne weal t.umern.
We all remember how an accident to the ma
chinery caused the loss of the cable when the
vojaee was more than half over; how tbty
grappled it three times, in 2 miles of water, but
had no rope strong enough "to hit it onboard,
and how the enterprise was then abandoned for
the year.
Every repeated attempt has been preceded by
great improvements in the manufacture of the
cable, the appliances tor lnyinz it, and the in
struments lor signalling. The tirst undertaking
was but a crude atfair in comperison with that
ot 18U6. The cable, in 1858, had a breaking
strain of a little over tnrce ions or was capable
ot bearing five miles of its own length in water.
The present one will bear a strain of eisht tons,
or twelve miles ot its own length in water.
Then, a slight delect of insulation was fatal;
now, so wonderfully have telegraphic instru
ments been improved tir.it it, is eat.y to work
through a submarine cable with a toot of its
copper conductors stripped bare to the water.
But our means lor tiishme liiteliisreuce
between the two hemispheres will not be
limited to this Atlautic cable. There is no
doubt that the magnetic wire which now unites
tho opposite coasts ol our own continent will
soon stretch thronuh the wilderness of the
remote northwest, crossing Beuring St.-ait and
place us in communication with Kiistorn Europe
t branch tho Uutuiiun territories of Ana. A line
perhaps from bchrlus Strait throutrh Chiua
will counect iu at Ctlcutta with the erreat Iudo
European line: and so the unconscious pro;iliery
ot shakspere will be fulfilled, and a girdle be
put around tue earth. in. less than forty minutes,

Tbe Newfoundland Teleirraph Line and
tbe Atlantic cable.
The cable hich connected Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland (between Aspy Bay and Cape
Kay) having been broken, there is at present
no communication acioss the Bay of St. Law
rence about eighty miles except by a sailing
yacut. communication is thus Kept up witn si
Johns, N. F.. and thence some four hundred
miles by telegraph to St. Johns, at which
point there is direct communication by tele

station ot the Atlantic telegraph table.
Arrangements have already been made by the
New Yoik and Newfoundland Telegraph Com
pany to lay down & new and superior teletrrapli
cable between Newfoundland and Wova Scotia,
and ihe Company hope to have direct couimuui
cation between New York and St. Jounj wuhiu
the ensuing tour weeks, and until then the
Company will, in the event of the success ot
the Atlantic cable, run one or more despatch
steamers daily between Cape Kay and Aspy Bay
Tbe Insolation and tbe Teats.
A correspondent of the London Daily Tele
graph, writing from the Great Eas'trn July 10,
says of the
IN8CLATION OF TEE CABLE.
"The services of Professor Thompson and Mr,
Varley, as consulting electricians to the
cable, have fortunately not been required
hitherto. The customary daily tests through
the tanks show that tne conducting power and
insulation ot tbe cable are perlect. During tho
. . 1 . : .1 1 i i , .. t I ' i
procesaoi iuj iuh me siiuic ruu un stiiiuruav uiui,
the electrical power ot that portion of tne caoto
was found 'superabundant, wbile its insulation
increased rapidly iu proportion as it was sub
merged. The even temperature and pressure of
the comparatively shallow water in which the
shore end is laid were sufficient, iu tbe course of
a few hours, to raise the insulation to four
times the amount indicated whou the cable was
coiled aboard the shi. The scieutibc reader
will better understand the state of insulation of
tbe shore end as cut and buoyed, when His
stated that the time required tor the cable 10
come from charge to halt-charge is seven
minutes thirty-cigbt seconds. The exceedingly
susceptible nature of the modern recordiug in
struments enabled the observers in the signal
house i-i Foilhammerum to determine not only
that the li illiam Corry was rolling dunog tue
time she was paving out tbe cable, but almost
to bx the exact extent of each roll.
TESTS.
"Mr. Willoughby Smith, the Company's elec
trician, has devised an elaborate system of test
ing to be carried on during the recess of laving
the cable, which appears admirably calculated
to meet every possible contingency. There will
be continuity tests from the shore every five
minutes. P.luborate directions are given for
opening communications with the shore from
tbe ship, and vice versa. Once a day the ibip
will send the distance run, the miles paid out,
and the insulation resistance per mile. There
is one direction which it is sincerely to be hoped
may never have to be acted on, namely, that if
slenals cease entirely for four hours trom the
ship, the shore operators can make what tests
they deem necessary to find out the cause of the
stoppage. It U much more gratifying to find it
assumed that the ltujfl cable will be salelj laid,
and that tbe signal watchers on hore are
u i ..... vi , n in. u Mini iinpu, iidui, um,i i,iinut,i,
to transfer their entire testing system to the end
of the 1866 cable, and carefully watch tor the

end, RDd complete a second line of communica

morning the signal on Seal Cove Hill went up.
and a cry was raised that a steamer was cer
tainly In sight. Excitement instantly arose, and
steam was got up on board the Margaretla
Metenson without delay. Before another
steamer conld be got in readiness for a start,
two more steamers appeared in tbe distance,
and a lew minutes after the llargeretta Stevenson
steamed out the narrows.
The entire cable fleet soon came la view, the
Great hastern looming up in hn?e black pro

COMMUNICATING WITH TUB "NIGER."
When we got alongside the Niger Mr. Kerr.
rommnnder ot the Margarelta btteenson, asked
Caotain Bruce, "What news?"
Captain Bruce said, "All right. We have news
to Ihe day before vebterday trom Europe. The
Amazon was run down off Portland on the 3d.
Did you know that?"

Captain Bruce "The Austrittns are gettintr

Mr. Kerr "Yes."
Tbe MarnareUa trig, which had communicated
with the Niger, then returned to our vessel with
a long teleu'ram with news about the war, aud
general matters to the 24th inst. The telegrams
were received ou board our little steamer with a
degree of wonder, and e could scarcely realize

oi small bouts dotted the surface of the water.
The 6ix colliers in port were decked with bunt

graph House the Stars and Stripes floated gayly.
The big ship also corned the American bauner,
beside tbe Union Jack and the Atlantic Tele
graphic flog presented by Mr. Field ou the occa

The Great Eastern came to anchor precisely
at 10 A. M., and was boaided immediately by a
great crowd ot visitors, male and teuiale.
In the meanwhile the splicing fleet proceeded
slowly on with the workot connecting the snores
and main cable. The end ot the muii c ible was
taken on boprd the steamer Medway about a
quarter to 2 P. M., and tbe spliciiuc began.
