The 'lerrible's cutter came aud made fast to tne buoy, "which was now about a cable's length from our eteru. At 9-10 thp Albany's boat arrived, and at SK10 we made the end of the drum rope on the buoy chain, and commenced to haul in the mooring chain on the end of the shore end cable.

In rase ot loc on anpi oachlDtr the isewiounil- land coast, the Terrible will keep close ahead to the Great Eastern and direct the latter to aiier course by tiring one gun to port helm and two euns to starboard same; mree guns uanger ahead. It Ihe Great Eastern tires oue or more guns, attendant ships to close in with her. It w hen near tne lana our position uu iriuuy Bnv cannot be ascertained on account of the tog. and the weather is calm, the Great Eas'ern can be kept nearly in her then position witn the cable, or, if for the saicty ol the sttp tt is necessary to keep fuither from the land whilst the leg lasts, the cable can be cut, moored and buoyed, and waten duojs put uown to mcimaia hnding tho cable buoy. Tnis could al.-o De aone snouiu a uaie oi wiiui be blowing up Trinity Bay, or whilst making the splice, so that it mav be oonldere1 dangerous or unadvi'able for the Great Eastern to go nearer tho land. As soon as the Terrible lias taken iu coal, fhe will proceed with the Albany to the position about one mile irom the ena of the cable of 1805, and place mark buoys for guidance in grappling. The Medway aud Great Eastern will follow hi soon us these uave coaled: but should they not loin the 'lerrible and Albany by the time tbey have placed the mark buoys, the Albany will proceed to grapple lor the cuble, and if she succeed in grappling it. she willliit it as tar us possible wilbsut aoproaching the breaking strain: bhe will theu buoy the grapnel rope aim grapple lor the cable agaiu further on. Bv conttnuing tnis she may succeed in lilting the bight or an end to the surface, and buoy it in rcaoiness for the Great Eastern. Should the Great Eastern aud Medway arrive beiore the bight or end of the cable is grappled or raised, they wid take up their position ana commence grappling. If the ships are grappling for the cable at the same time, their relative positions will be, the Medway to the west, with the greatest lifting strain; the Great Eeistern in the middle, and the Albany to the eaut with the least lifting fctrain; so that if the cable is broken by the Uediray, the end will be secured eithe by th2 GreeU Eeistem or the Albany.

AH throuth yesterday the paitig-out, machinery worked so smoothly tho electricr.l tests were so perfect the weather was so hue that fresh confidence in the reult has been natuially inspired. The recollection, how ever, of the rpvprs.es of the expedition of lHti5 is always bctore those who have the creutcst re liance in sm cess; and iherc is a quiet repose about the manner of the chief practical men on boaid, whicn l- an earnest tliHC they will not allow themselves to bo entiled away by the smoothness of twentv-tour hours events.

Kurooean nes) is u practical proof ot the value of our cliict cie;'riciiiu's al raUfieme'its, lor while the uiessaire wus being transmitted to ns the iusuluttuu tests were con tinuously going ou, The fundamental Oi'Toreiic.e b1 tween last year's system ol test'nr ami that of the present expedition ii that no a all the ordinary tests tor continuity may be made simultaneously with the test lor insulation, which is not interrupted uta'l; whereas last year, duiing half the time spent lay in;: tne cable the insulation test was wholly neglected, as will presently be shown. Last year each hour wus divided into four parts. The lirst half of the hour wa spent iu testing lor insulation. Dunns the seconj halt, which was i.ividcrt into ihre," periods of ten minutes each, tests were made to a-cerutin the resistances of the conductor, nnd to prove ciie continuity of the same. All thc?e tc-ts were ot such a nature as to ull'urd no criterion whatever of ihe state ot the ipsul ition d.iriug their con tinuance: so that during the ball' of each hour, or, in other words, during halt the time speut in laymu the cable, the insulation tst was neglected. Alto, while the insulation lest was beiiitr made, there was no means of communi cating wiMi the shore, us the observations were taken on beard only. This year a test lor insu lation is constantly kept on. and, by Mr. Wil loiurhbv Smith's arranrement, correspondingob servations are male both ou ship and shore. At stated times durinc the hour the continuity test is made ut the snore station by means ot a con denser applied to the conductor of the cable. The ( fleet cf this is to lower the dellectiou of tho ship's insulation galvanometer, thus serving as a continuity lest, communications Irom shore to ship nre alo made by these means. Ship can seud signals to shore by simply reversing the current lor certain lengths ot time, ausTverir.g to some understood cooe, or by increasing and diminishing the tension ol the line according to a prearranged plan. All thenf operations may De performed wituo'it interrupting the insulation test, except lor a Ipw seconds while the current is being reversed. So tur lor the ne w system m the elecirical room as compared with liist year. And now a word or two about the payiu: out and taking-up machinery of 18G(i, and we shall see how the experience gathered from 1805 haa been piactically carried into effect. ine paying out apparatus is the same as used last year, with the exception of a stronaer drum, wbicli is necessary lor the purpose ot naming in tne cable at the stern it reuuired. Powerful gear has been placed by the side of ihe machine, so that by means oi clutches the drum can be reversed and the cable hauled back in case a fault is discovered. This year it is driven by a 40-horse power engine, made by Messrs. fenn, and suppnea witn steam trom the main boilers of the ship, which Insures a supply at any moment. The hauling in machine for grap pling placed at the tore part of the ship is inoro powenui man tne one used last year, and con sists of two drums of 6 feet 8 inches in diameter each, by 20 inches broad, connected bv a near with a Penn encine of 40-horse power, similar to that attached to the paying-out machine. The rope or cable passe"" ovvr both drums, and an arrangement is made tor 'fleeting" the grapnel ropeor cable on the drums, and each roller guiding a turn ot tne rop or cable as it passes from one rum to the other. This enariue is als.0 supplied with steam power from the ship's main uouers. At ten minutes past 10 P. M. the A'banv was observed to drop astern, and we learned through the medium of Coloinn's admirable flash signals. at a distance of about i miles, that she had lost i ne uoii oi tier ecceuiiic. At aayilgut, tue damage having been repaired, she was again in position. The system ot signalling on b.iard is very perfect, and tne convoy, like the Great Eastern, bus been supplied by tho Admiralty with experienced signalmen. ' We sent early this morning ine news ot Cialolnl's advance upon Kovigo to Captain Cnrumcrell of the 'lerrible, aud to Captain batt, R.N.. and Captain Prowse, It. a., who are on board the A bany and Medway.

At 910 the screw engines were slowed to lo revolt) lions, and the paddies slowed to 4. We set some canvas, too. with a steady breeze irom the south and a smooth sea. Our uveraue speed since we left has been about 5. The strain indicn'ed by the dy nanometer since 3 eHcrday at 12 o'clock has been 11.

Austnaus withdrawing lioin Moldravia towards Vienna. Wednesday, July 18. A fresh breeze from the' southward; u dud grey sky, with occasional rain, and a moderate sea prevailed from nojn yesterday. At 5-28 P. M. Greenwich time, a bell in connection with the electrical room sounded in the tank. Mr. Tempie, oue of the company's staff, beins on duty, immediately pressel the valve ot the steam whistle, which is fitted at the stfin, and communicates by compressed air through the plying lo the screw, paddle-engines, and he I in a similar apparatus being litted in the bow of the ship. The signal to stop was so piomptiy answered by the engineers, that the Great Eastern was stooped in less than her own length. Mr. Cliuord, hearing the bell, ran at the top ot his speed to the paddle-engine hatch way; but long uetore he could reach it they were stopped. Of course, great anxiety arose to ascer tain what was the mutter. W e were glad to learn that it was a laLe alarm. One ot Mr. Wil- lomrhbv Smith's ussisturit. tin vim- hvnipio nrnm irom this incident that every one was at his post: and Captain Anderson, ever tuoughttul and watchful, took advantage ot what occurred to make some alterations in concert with Mr. Canning, in the instructions of the oliicer ou duty, so that he should verbally communicate with the engineer if a similar alarm was given, and not to trust entirely to the whistle system, ett'i ciive though it is in workine. All went on well until 1220 A. M., Greenwich time, when the first real shock was given tj the success which has hitherto attended us, and this time we had real cause to be alarmed. A foul takes place in the alter tank. The engines were im mediately turued astern, and the pavinc out of the cable stopped. We were all soon on the oeck, and learned that the running or paying out part of the coil had caught three turns of tho nake immediately under it, earned them into the ee ot the coil forming tho lay out, and hauling up one ana a bait turns trom the outside, and five turns in the eye ot the under Hake. This was stopped, fortunately, beiore entenns the paying out machinery. Stoppers of hemp, with chains also, were put on near the V wheel astern, aud Mr. Canning gave ordprs to 6tand by to ltt go the buoy. This'wn not very cheering to hear, but his calm and collected manner gave us all confidence that his skill aud experience wosdd extr.cato tho cable from the obvious dunger in which it was placed. Ho fishing line was ever entangled more than the rope was when thrust up ia apparently hopeless knots from the eye of the coil to the deck. There at least W;0 leet ot rope lay in this state, and in the midst ol a thick rain and increasing wind. The cable crew set to work, under the chief engineer's instructions, to disentangle it. Mr. liulpiu was there, too, patiently following the lights us they showed themselves. The crew now pa-sing them lorward now all. until at last the charac ter of the tangle was seen, and "soon it became, appurent that ere long the cable would be cleared, r.nd passed down to the tank. All this time Captain Anderson was at the tatlrall, anxiously watching the strain on the rope, which he could scarcely make out. the night was so dark, and endeavoring to keep it up and down, goiug on and raioing with paddle aud screw. When one reflects lor a moment on tne size of 'the ship, and the enormous mass she preseuta to the w ind, thu dilliculty of keeping ter stern, under the circumstances, over the cable, can bo appreciated. The port paddle wheel wus disc-on uected. but shortly afterwards there was a shiit of wind, and the vessel canted the wrong way. Welcome voices were now heard passing the word aft from the kuke that the bights were cleared, and to pay out. Then the huge stoppers were gradually loosened, and at 205 A.M., toths ioy oi all, we were once more discharging the cable. They veered away in the bank to clear away the foul flake until 3 A. M.. when the screw and paddle engines were slowed so as to reduce the speed of the ship to 4 j knots. During all this critical time, there was an entire absence of noise and confusion. Every order was silently obeyed, and the cable men nnd crew worked with hearty goodwill. Mr. Caii ring has bad experience ot foul flakes betoro this, and showed that be knc what to do In the emergency. But what of tho electrical con dition ot the cable during this period' Simply toat throtitrti its entire length it is period, or, as it is technically called, O. K.

Tbursdoy, Julv 1'.). There was a fresh broeze in the ntternoon yesterday, increasing towards evening. It brou'ulit a heavy swell ou the port quarter, wbicli caused the Pbip to roll. The linvin out Iroin the attcr tank went on steadily. Two ot the l'irge baoys were lilted by derrien. from the decir near the bows of the f-hip, hnd placee) in position on the port and starboard side of the lorward piece ot machinery, ready lor letting go it necessary. The sun went down with an angry loow, and the scud came rapidly tiom the eastward, t::e sea rising. A wind deal ul't is not the best lor cable laying, par ticularly if any accident should take place. By 1130 P. M., to-night, we shall have ex hausted the contents of the alter-tauk, aud the cable w ill then be paed out lroui he lore tank along the trough to the ster::, the distancj lroui the centre of the funk to the pavlug-oat machinery being 4S4 leet. Last night the swell was very 'heavy, to which the Great Eastern proved herself not insensible. Her rolling, like evPiy thing else appertaining to her, is none on a grand scale. We see tne liveliness wi'h which that operation is performed on board the At'o iay and Heuu-ay, and we nre not ut all disposed to be critical in our observations on our own movements.
