FIELD'S ACCOUNT OF THE LAYING OF lidsSMtllffl RIR ARRIVAL AT PRINITY BAY b•—• OPERATORS MILNER—HE TEATS THE INSULATION BY NIS TONGUE—IS KNOCKED OVER-14 ANOTREIt CABLE TO rig LAID? Mr Field describes the feeling which pervaded all on boari the Niagara while the cable was being laid,- as one of the mist intense excitement. Every man exerted himself to - the utmost to achieve onetime in the work. Throughout the six and a half days the moat perfoat silence and at tention pervaded among the men, lest a single moment of negligence should destroy the cable. On the first day after the paying out, began it was found that the Gable was being laid out at a rate which, in proportion to the distance 'ran, would, if continued, have defeated the enterprise. This was (minx to the fact that the sable on the Niagara bad sensed so much local attraction as to seriously derange the compasses, rendering it im pooslble to steer the ship. -Next day, the com mander of the Gorgon being apprised of the fact, ran ahead of the Niagara, steering in the most, di rect course for Trinity Bey. This he continued to do day and night until they arrived, never leaving the (leek except fora few moments, and varying his position by repeated observations by the sun, moon, and stars. To his agency, therefore, the success of the achievement is greatly indebted. Mr. Field landed near the telegraph station, Trinity Bey, at two o'clock in the morning, and walked to the house, half a mile distant. through the wilderness, not a person being visible on the beach. At the telegraph house he found the ope rators from London fast asleep, not one of them expecting that the enterprise would succeed. In• deed, they bad net unpacked their trunks, an-, tioipating that in a week or We they would. be ordered back to London. The reason why signals and not words wore sent through the cable as it was being laid, is that on the previous attempt the clerks indulged in irrele vant eenvon-ation, which distracted,their atten tion from duty ate time when the faitest obstruc tion might he fatal to the work. The directors thereforeardered that signals only shmild be sent through the cable from-ship to ship. Both vessels had Greenwich time, and the electric current played to and fro between them for ten minutes each way: _ The signals showed that the first day the speed of the Agamemnon slightly exceeded that of the Niagara, but on the succeeding day they went at the same pare, there never being more than twenty miles difference between them. Whin'the cable was landed at both ends, Mr. Field applied his tongue to the end, and received the °hearing information that the insulation was perfect in a shook that nearly threw him over. The reason why messages were not transmitted earlier woe from the fast that all the apparatus, at both ends, was new and untried, and required a groat dual of care and skill to adjust Mr. Field states that there is not the slightest doubt that the cable is an entire mammas, as great or greater than its most sanguine friends looked , forward to. By the Persia, to day, he writes to the directors to prepare another cable at once, as it is evident that the present one, which- will in a short time transmit messages tut rapidly as an tetial line. will be entirely inefficient for the heel 'nese which will flow to it , . • Until the first of September, the line will ,be closed to ail messages, save these from the Govern .meets of Great Britain and the United 'States. During that time Mr. Field 'will keep the -public advised of ell matters abating the success of the able, THE CITY. AsrcrolietAlOs „vim EVENING. Witigmnri frAlieillele9ißOH-EITRIC6?
