The second expedition for laying the telegraphic cable between Ireland and Newfoundland, which left Plymouth Bound on the 10th of June, has again re turned unsuccessful to its starting point. The expedi tion met from first to last with an unprecedented series of difficulties and misfortunes, against which even the greatest perseveranoe was unequal to bear up. A violent gale was encountered, which lasted nine days, and in which the Agamemnon was nearly lost in reaching the place of rendezvous in mid-ocean; three times was the cable joined, and three times was it lost. And though the Agamem non and Valorous again returned to the rendezvous for the purpose of making a fourth and last attempt, a dense fog prevented their falling in with the Niagara. They had no resource left, therefore, but to return to Queenstown, where they . arrived on the 12th of July, having been out of sight of land thirty-three days. From what occurred during the various operation, there is now less doubt than ever of the practicability of the scheme. The squadron is, therefore, coaling and refitting in Cork harbour, 4qd will in 1 4 8. ,rphebakti file Art pain On Saturtisi nftt for the or main( a lint and, kis to be hoped, a success I, attempt to establish the own munication between the Old and the New world. The various ships comprising the squadron, as is mentioned above, started trom Plymouth Sound early on the morning of Thursday, the 10th of June, and by dawn on the following morning they were well clear of the Scilly Isles. The weather was unusually fine ; the barometer was high, the sky was clear, and the sea was calm ; in fact, everythini er se ta e kl med to promise well for the snows' of the un dertaking During During Friday and the greater portion of Saturday one uninterrupted calm pre vailed, and though it was of the greatest important* to us that no more coals should be used than was absolutely necessary, the Agamemnon was obliged to get up steam. On Saturday, however, the wind freshened considerably, and several smart squalls which passed over us showed too plainly . that there was another and a more unpleasant phase in Atlantic weather than we had hitherto been accustomed to. On Saturday evening the glass fell considerably, in the coarse of the night it blew best part of a gale of wind, and by Sunday morning a very considerable sea was ranting from the south-west, which showed us how true were our worst anticipations respecting the beautiful rolling trim which the Agamemnon was in. Daring the earlier part of the day, as the wind freshened, we found that it was with difficulty that the Valorous, which is notoriously a slow ship, could keep pace with us. It was of the greatest importance that we should got to the appointed rendezvous in the middle of the Atlantic as soon as possible, therefore a signal was made to the Valorous for permission to leave our station astern, and to proceed to the rendezvous with the Niagara as fast as possible. Permission having been granted, we soon left both her and the Gorgon well down astern, and did not again fall in with them till reaching the centre on the 26th of Jane. Throughout the whole of Sunday the wind gradually freshened, and the glass continued to fall until about half-past three, when the sky be came suddenly overcast, and in half an hoar we found ourselves in the midst of a streets south westerly gale. All bands were immediately sent aloft and all sail close furled with the exception of close-reefed topsails and storm staysails, under which we continued to beat up against the wind during the whole day and night. We had been taught to be lieve, by the assertions of Lieutenant Maury, the experienced American meteorologist, that darin g the month of June very few gales of wind blow in the North Atlantic, and that .when they do it was seldom that they lasted more than 24 hours. We readily believe, what we wish to be true, and there fore it is not surprising that all looked forward to the morrow in the confident expectation of seeing the famous calm which invariably follows a storm ; but in this we were likely to be disappointed for many succeeding dap. On Monday morning the wind I blew as hard as ever, and the falling of the barometer led us to anticipate that we had not seen the worst. Our conjectures soon proved to be right, for as the day advanced the wind and sea increased till about 4 o clock, when it blew a perfect hurricane. AU hands were again summoned on deck, and the little sail which she had carried during the preceding twenty-four hours had to be still further shortened. The meaning of the term " a gale of wind " has a very different sigaifloatiim when used at sea from what is understood by it on land. There every stiff breeze which disturbs a few slates, or demolishes a row of chimney-pots, is dignified by the name; but a gale of wind at sea is quite a different thing. Produced, as it is, by an unexplained inequality in the pressure of the air, extending over a vast space, and sometimes amounting to one-twelfth of the whole atmospheric pressure, the wind sweeps across the comparativily smooth lulus of the water with a violence and rapidity truly awful, teeming to force down the very waves, and driving off their white crests like drifts of snow along the sea. To reef the large topsails of a line-of-battle ship like the Aga memnon daring a heavy gale is indeed an operation of no small danger and difficulty. The sail is thrown aback, and about 50 men are sent on the yard, sod while the sail is flapping and beating against the mast as if it would tsar itself in pieces, it has to be hauled up over the yard, and the reef points made fast. The wind continued with unabated violence throughout Monday night, but on the morning of y, the 16th of June, it moderated a little. The sea, which previously had been partially kept down by the excessive violence of the wind, now began to rise to • dangerous height, and the Agamemnon to roll and strain considerably with the tremendous dead weight with which she was loaded. Every wave that struck her seemed to make her quiver in every joint es if she wee coming to pieces. We now for the first time began to entertain serious: apprehensions that, rolling as the ship continually did to an angle of 36 degrees each way in nine seconds, there was great danger that the 230 tons of cable which was coiled away on the forward part of the upper deck would shift from its place, and smash away the side of the ship, in which case we should all have gone to the bottom in • few minutes. This feeling of uneasiness which had taken possession of our minds respecting the safety of the coil was rather augmented during the evening, when it wee reported that one of the lower deck beams directly under it had been broken by the working of the ship. Anything to equal the state of discomfort everyone had to endure during this and the six succeeding days, while the gale lasted, cannot readily be appreciated by those not on board. Every wave that struck her mine in upon the main and lower decks in tons thesugh the ports and hawse-holes, and as the scuppers had all been closed up to prevent the bilgewater running down upon the main coil, it all poured in gallons into all the cabins, putting six inches of water on the floor, and wetting through bedding and bedclothes in such a manner that no one thought of undressing to go to bed, while many, as an additional egus scutum, might be seen arraying themselves in • tint of macintosh before retiring to rest. It was not at all an uncommon thing to wake up in the night to be the spectator of an animated regatta performed by all the floatable portions of your furniture from side to side of the cabin with the roll of the ship. If you were disposed to move about, nothing but the most practised agility would save you from severe contusions ; for es the ship rolled *lowly and steadily towards the wind, she would fly back in an opposite direction with • sudden and violent jerk which would send everything and everybody flying from one side of the vessel to the other. But what made the roll ing more unpleasant than anything was that it ren dered it difficult to get anything cooked, and still more so to get what was cooked served up. There was something uncommonly ridiculous in seeing every one sitting down to a meal holding on to the table u if life and death depended upon it, looking at the dishes, while they dare not let go to partake of the contents until some intrepid individual would set the example by loosing his hold. In an instant his chair slips, and coming in contact with that of his neighbour, the doubtful equilibrium is at once destroyed, and in an instant some half dozen chairs, with their occu pants, are rolling over each other from one side of the cabin to the other, probably accompanied by the debris of plates, dishes, or anything else that may have been caught up daring the mitee. These scenes were excessively amusing once or twice, and excited their due share of merriment among the victims ; but when we found that the joke was repeated three times a day for more than a week, and generally ended in our getting very little to eat, it grew rather a sorry one in our estimation. Throughout Wednesday Wednesday and Thursday, the 18th and 17th of lane, the wind continued to blow with very little intermission as hard as ever, and the sea every day rose higher and higher. Though the wind was nearly dead against as we still continued under sail, and consequently made but very little progress, for on the morning of Saturday, the 19th of June, we had 5ti11233 miles tAgo before gaining the rendeavons. All tfis vigelf WM been anihni to the northward of our course before the gale, and were, on Saturday at noon, no less than 15 deg. to the north of it. Daring the forenoon of Saturday the wind abated a little, bat the sea continued as high as ever, and as the barometer still fell we took the temporary hill as no indication of the approach of fine weather. We were right, for u the night advanced the gale again returned with redoubled violence, and by the morn- Mg of Sunday, the 20th Jane, it blew a perfect bur ricane. The scene which the sea and sky pre sented that morning was one of such terrible grandeur that those who witnessed it will probably remember to their latest hour. Nothing could be heard on deck but the loud hoarse roar of the wind as it rushed through the rigging, straining every rope, and bending the masts like whip-sticks. The sky was of a dull and uniform lead colour, which was reflected in a supernatural greyish tint by the white foam which covered the water. The sea, which had now been gradually rising for eight days, rose up in steep walls of water, fifty feet from the base, rolled onward towards the ship, curling over one another with a noise like thunder, which could be heard even above the roaring of the wind. The uniformly black colour of the horizon was only relieved here and there by a white streak when some violent gust had caught up the white crest of a wave and carried it through the air likes snowdrift. The sea was running on the beam, so every wave made the Agamemnon roll on as i f she would capsize altogether. Large u she is the gigantic waves, as they came lowering on, seemed as if they must break upon her decks and overwhelm her. At one moment the ship would fall off into the trough of the water which rose on all sides close over her, and in the next was thrown up into the air amidst a cloud of foam, again to fall upon the next sea with a shock that made every timber in her vibrate. About 9 o'clock one very large sea struck the ship, and threw her almost on her beam-ends. For a mo ment she lay u if she would never right, and then with a tremendous crash the 160 tons of coal which had been stowed upon the after part of the main and upper decks broke away from their fastenings, and carrying away companion ladders, stanchions, and everything else breakable that came in their way, they swept from one side of the ship to the other, pouring down in tons through the hatchway into the engines. For a moment everything was confusion everyone seemed for a second panio-struck, as no one knew what had happened. Whether it was the deck coil had broken away, or the side of the ship stove by the sea, was a matter of conjecture. A party of marines were told off to re-store the coals and extricate anyone who might have been injured by them, while the rest of the hands were called on .deck to wear the ship round upon the starboard tack to ease her off from the sea; but while these operations were being per formed the ship heeled over so fearfully that no one though it was possible for the deck coil to hold on, strongly fastened as it was. The helm wee, there fore, put abort, and the ship stood away in a southerly direction. Part of the coals was then cleared away and the ship's drummer and Mr. Harvey, one of the usistant engineers, extri cated from underneath them. The former had his arm crushed, and the latter was severely squeezed and eternally injured; several of the men were also hurt by the rolling of the ship. In the forenoon, one man, to save himself from being thrown down, put his hand into the cleft of a beam, which, as the ship rolled back again, closed, and jammed the tops of his fingers off. Another man was thrown down thehatchway from the upper to the lower deck, thoughtstrange to say, without hurting him, beyond a severe shaking. Daring the day the ship was comparatively easier as long as she kept upon the starboard tack, but the wind and sea did not dimi nish in the least. About twelve o'clock a heavy sea struck the stern and wrenched off one end of the screw guard. It was composed of single iron, and weighed several tons, and as it swung against the side with the wash of the sea, it threatened at every minute to establish a serious leak. There were also great apprehensions that if more of the fastenings got loose the wreck would infallibly foul either the screw or the redder. An attempt was made to cut it loose altogether, but in such • sea it was found impossible to put men over the side to unshackle the chains which held it. The weather was the same throughout the afternoon, and in cue of any emergency arising, steam was got up and the screw was lowered ; but when the order was given to steam a-head, at about five o'clock, it was found that the working of the ship had wrenched asunder the waste steam pipe, which rendered one of the boilep useless for a time while it was being petaled up. At six o'clock a signal was made from the Niagara for us again to put the ship about if we could do so with safety, and to proceed on to the rendezvous. AU hands were once more called on deck, and the ship was put round again upon the port tack. The ship being again beam on to the sea, rolled down to her hammock netting., and twice the pinnace and the barge broke away from their Whinge, and ran considerable risk of staving themselves before they could be again secured. The ship was now in a very perilous position, though the deck coil still held (and how it did so is little short of a miracle). The rigging had worked so slack that the masts fell over from aide to side with the motion of the ship, and threatened to go overboard at every roll. Night came, but with it came an increase of the wind and sea, but few on board went to bed, and those that did could not have slept for the violent motion, even if they had been in clined. And as Tuesday morning broke it only disclosed to us a more angry and broken, though it could not be a higher, sea than that of the previous day. No one could doubt now that the ship was in a most perilous position, and no one knew the moment when the next roll might throw all the masts over the side, or capsize the ship altogether. Some of the men were fatigued and dispirited, and it w s only with the greatest difficnlty that they could work the ship, for she rolled to such a fearful swell that it was impossible for them to keep their feet. About 4 o'clock a.m. a dense black cloud blew up from windward ; when it approached we soon saw that it was a violent squall, for it left a white track in the sea as it tore the waves it passed over into a mass of foam. It appeareduif bearing down right on us, so the captain, who had only ost lain down, was sent for ; but as soon as be arrive d, it had fortunately before us. Had it passed over us there can be firtl: d doubt that It would have taken the masts overboard. Thins continued much in the same state until about mu o'clock, when the chi? laboured so heavily that it was necessary for the immediate safety of all on board that some alteration should be mule in her course. As we had lost sight of the (Stamped ld. Additional.) [TWOPENCE. Niagara early in the morning, Captain Preedy was unwilling to run before the gale entirely without in forming Captain Hudson of his intention, the ship was worn with the intention of putting her on the starboard tack, in the hope of thus holding our own for a little longer. When she got well into the trough of the sea, however, she became almost unmanageable, rolling like a log, almost every sea breaking in over the bulwarks, and pouring in tons of water down the hatchway. About fifty tons of coal which had been stowed upon the lower deck broke from their fastenings and poured down on to the engines, which were in motion at the time, though fortunately without injuring them. At the same time the great coil of cable in the main hold, which during the previous day had shown a disposi tion to lift on the surface, now fetched away, and flew from side to aide of the hold in tangled masses. Men were immediately sent below to try to secure it with planks and cordage ;. but as it drifted it soon entangled their limbs, and they were obliged to de sist, though not before one of the men was severely hurt. The ship could now no longer stand up against the gale ; it would have been even impos sible to lay her to, so the only resource left was to run before it. The ship's head was quickly put about and the yards squared, and in a few minutes we were reefed topsails. Throughout the whole of the day Iha ship .00ntinned to drive before the wind, the gigantic seas following as if they would smash her to pieces, bat in consequence of the great speed at which we were going they seldom did 1 more than dash the spray upon deck. About I two o'clock, however, one of the stern posts was stove in, and the wararoorn flooded; and to- I wards the evening some of the cabin windows were broken, and the starboard quarter gallery stove. We pa ssed three or four homeward bound American ships, all of whom were either laying to or running before the wind. No one can properly appreciate the feelings of re lief all felt that day alter the ship was put about. She no longer strained as the seas struck her, though she still rolled considerably. Towards the night the wind fell off, and the sea, to the relief of everyone, began to go down, and soon after daylight on Tuesday, the I 22nd, the ship's head was put about, and we again stood back for the rendezvous. As the day ad vanced, the wind and sea fell calm, and before the evening no one could believe the ship was sailing in the same sea which on the previous day had pre sented such an awful aspect. The day following (Wednesday, the 23rd) was occupied in repairing the damage which had been sustained by the vessel in the gale. The rigging had to be reset up, the coals which had broken away to be started into the bunkers, during which latter operation a man unfor tunately got his leg broken. The main coil, which now presented an aspect of the greatest disorder, bad to be set to rights before the splice could be made. Day and night men were at work uncoiling the tangled portion, but it progressed very slowly, and though on Thursday evening about ten miles had been taken up and coiled away in various parts of the ship, still the aspect of the upper surface did not look very encouraging. The electrical instruments and the apparatus connected therewith had to undergo a complete overhauling, for what between the rolling of the ship and the salt water, very few of them were in working condition. On Friday, the 24th, by observation, we appeared to be nearly upon the appointed rendezvous, which had been fixed in 82.2 north lat. and 33.18 west ion. About twelve o'clock we fell in with the Valorous, and an hour after the Gorgon and Niagara hove in sight, so that by four o'clock in the afternoon all the four ships were once more in company, after an absence of 12 days. The afternoon was, as may be imagined, spent in making mutual communications and in quiries, from which we learnt that the Valorous had' KaSecompany with the Gorgon on the 13th, and arrived at the rendezvous on the 20th. She encountered the full force of the gale on the 21st, and was obliged to go under full steam to keep the ship's head to the sea. The Gorgon, too, had what the sailors term " made bad weather of it," having nearly lost both her masts, and expended a large proportion of her coal. She did not reach the centre until Wednesday, the 23rd. All were in great anxiety, as may be imagined, about the safety of the Agamemnon. The Niagara fell in with the other ships on the 22nd, having reported suddenly losing sight of us daring a squall, at a time when they thought we could not hold together much longer. The even ' ing was beautifully calm, and suitable for making the splice, but many little things had to begot ready, so it was finally arranged that the operation should be commenced on the following day, Saturday, the 26th. Everything was activity on board the ships on the following morning. The whole of the disturbed cable, which amounted to more than a hundred miles, had been cleared, and the instruments put to rights, on board the Agamemnon, and about 12 o'clock boats were sent from the Niagara with a hawser, and the two ships having been made fast to each other by the stern, the Niagara's end of the cable was brought on b ard, and the splice securely effected, and about half-past one it was lowered overboard. A hundred and fifty fathoms of cable were then veered out front each ship, and a pre concerted signal having been run up, the ships started ib opposite directions, at the rate of two knots an hoar. After a little more than three miles had been payed out, the continuity suddenly ceased, and shortly a ft er a red flag hoisted showed us that it had broken from the Niagara, as we after ' wards learned by the cable getting off the sheaves and being cut by coming in contact with the tar scraper. Though the end was still hanging to our stern, and it would have been quite Possible to have reeled our portion in, yet it was considered, and with justice, that more valuable time would be lost in performing the operation than would be worth ten times the amount of wire, so it was cut adrift. The ships returned to make a fresh splice, which having been effected, was lowered safely overboard at 7.30 Greenwich time, which for the sake of uniformity was need on both ships TOO &thorns having been paid out, the signal to start was again hoisted, and we Noon lost sight of the Niagara in the distance. • • ' For a little time after starting, the ships were kept at a speed of rather under two knots an hour, while a considerable quantity of slack cable was run out to allow the splice to get fairly to the bottom. The Agamemnon was kept steadily going two knots, the cable going from foar-and-a half to five for three hours, when, according to the arrangement entered into with the Niagara we were at liberty to proceed as we thought best. The speed of the ship was, therefore, increased to about three and-a-half to a little over four knots per hour, the cable going out steadily at about five, though the strain upon the dynamometer in no instance exceeded 2,4001b5. Everythieg went on well until about half-past 3 on Sunday morning, the 27tb, when the electrical continuity of the cable was reported lost by Professor Thompson. The signals had • been received from the Niagara and returned with perfect regularity by us until 3.40 a.m ,wben the cur rent ceased so suddenly and completely as to leave no doubt in our minds that the cable had parted, as we thought at the time, from the stern. With as everything had been going on so smoothly and regularly as to inspire every one with the most sanguine expectations of success. No time was lost by Mr. Canning and Mr. Clifford, the engineers on duty at the time, in stopping the ship, and getting the hauling-in gear rove, and stopping the cable, to try and recover as much of it as possible ; but while three preparations were being made the cable broke over the stern, with a sudden rise of the ship. A gun was imme diately fired, and a blue-light burned over the side, to inform the Valorous of the misfortune ; and with the same persevering energy which was displayed by Mr. Bright and the engineers throughout the cruise, the ships were again put about for the rendezvous, for the purpose of making another join ing. During the ten hours and a half which elapsed since making the splice on the previous evening to the time of the breakage, 39 miles of cable had been payed out, and thirty miles of abso lute distance made good by Massay's log. This was a much smaller percentage o f slack than we had expected to expend, more especially on the deep water. The whole of Sunday and Sunday night the ships continued beating up against a head wind towards the rendezvous until about two o'clock on Monday, the 28th, when we again fell in with the Nia gara. To the no slight astonishment of all she imme diately signalled as, " How did you break the cable ?" which was answered, of course, that we did not break it. A boat soon brought the Niagara engineers on board, from whom we learned that the electrical continuity had ceased with them at the same instant and in the same unaccountable manner that it had with us, the cable having parted while reeling it in, after about 160 fathoms had been recovered. There was no way of accounting for the accident unless upon the far-fetched supposition . that the continuity had been destroyed by.the cable resting upon some rocks' at the bottom of the ocean. No variation in the strain upon the dynamometer at the time of the accident was observed in either ship when it occurred. It was ay that the only effectual way towstissoly lbw auaba.aasaiwapiima k. and hope for be !lune the next time. The sttips were again connected together by a hawser and a third splice having been effected it was th rown overboard, and the ship started for her destination for the third and last time, at 10.15 p.m. For the first three hours, as on the previous occasion, a great deal of slack cable was payed out, the ships going at the rate of two knots an hour ; but after this, namely, at 1.65 a.m. on Tuesday morning, the 29th, the speed of the ships was increased to between four and five knots, the cable running out from five-and-a-half to six, and the strain upon the dynamometer being kept steadily at from 2,200 to 2,500 pounds. Nothing could exceed the ease and regularity with which the various machines worked, the paying-out engine and the other appa ratus being as nearly perfect in their action as it is possible for mechanical contrivances to be; not the slightest hitch occurred during the whole operation, either in the running out of the cable from the deck coil or in its final delivery through the machine into the sea. There was one circumstance which will prove not • little perplexing to the many learned gentlemen who made theoretical calculations re presenting the probable strain which would be exerted upon the cable to cause it to leave the ship at a sharp angle namely, that though in many instances the cable described an angle as it left the ship of 10 and 11 degrees from the horizon, and rarely fell below 15, yet the strain never, in any instance, exceeded 2,6001 b., and not often reached even that limit. At noon on Tuesday, four hours after the commencement of the operations, observation showed us to be in 62.12 N. lat. and 31.11 W. lon., having paid out 88 miles of cable and made good 72 miles of absolute distance, being a smaller proportion of slack cable than bad been calculated upon. At 10.10 p.m. (10 o'clock ship's time) 110 miles of absolute distance had been run, and 130 miles of cable payed out during the 24 hours since leaving the rendezvous. Everything went on so smooth and calmly that the chances of our successfully submerging the whole length of the line, even if three times the length, were very great. The only fear we had was about the transition from the deck coil to that in the lower hold ; there was a considerable distance between them, and, of course, if any stop page had occurred, the cable must have parted. Under the circumstances, it was only an act of common prudence on the part of Mr. Canning, the engineer in charge of the operation at the time, to re duce the speed of the ship, in order to allow the splice between to pass over as easily as possible. At IL3O p.m. the speed of the ship was reduced to miles per hoar, and subsequently to less than 3 knots, and as there now onlyyemained some 2or 3 miles in the deck coil, so the speed of the ship was still further reduced, and consequently that of the cable alto, when in a few minutes the report of a gun fired from the port side of the bows told us too truly that the cable had parted. Every one was thoroughly taken by surprise ; there was nothing to account for the occurrence, as the strain on the dynamometer at the time only indicated 2,200 pounds. The distance run was 118 miles, and a consultation was immedi ately held between the captains of the two ships and the officers of the company, after which it was agreed to stand back Once more to the rendezvous to endeavour to meet the Niagara, and to make a fourth and last attempt. Au agreement had been made with the Niagara that the two ships should return to the rendezvous in case a breakage occurred be fore either had proceeded 100 miles. Thus, though we broke the letter of the agreement by putting back, yet there was still a chance that the Niagara might not have completed the specified dis tance, in which case it would be as well not to throw away a chance of bringing the expedition at length to a successful issue. The ships' heads were therefore soon put about, and in a few minutes we were standing back for the central place of meeting. Our ill fortune did not end here. Every hope of , meeting with the Niagara of course depended upon the weather remaining clear • but on Wednesday, the 30th, a dense fog set in, through which it was impossible to see 100 yards. For four days we re mained cruising about without well knowing where we were, as no observation could be obtained, with out once even sighting the Valorous, which we knew was cruising within a short distance of us. Every noisy device was had recourse to to attract the at tention of the ships, should they pass in our vicinity. GUM were fired at intervals, and bells and bugles were kept in constant aetion ; but all to no purpose. On the morning of Sunday, the 4th of July, the weather cleared a little, and we again sighted the Valorous, but on obtaining an observation we found our position was still some distance from the rendeevous. A taw hours' sailing, however, soon put us on the spot, where the chips remained until mid-day on Tuesday, July 6. There , was still no appearance of the Niagara and Gorgon, , and arrangements were entered into that we should wait no longer there than 8 p.m. on the same even ing. The evening came, but still no signs of the ships, I so all sail was immediately made for Queenstown. The wind was fair during Wednesday and Thursday, and without almost making an alteration in a rope, the ships made an average speed of 8 knots an hour, but lon Friday morning, the 9th, the wind fell light, and obliged the Agamemnon to lower screw and get up steam. On Saturday, the 10th, *when about 260 miles off Cape Clear. we again fell in with a dense fog, which continued until Queenstown harbour was made, on Monday, the 12th, about noon. On Sunday the fog was so thick that, though we knew by reckoning that the ship was in the immediate neighbourhood of the cape, yet no light could be seen. However, the ship found her way on by keeping the lead going, and sighted the harbour early in the morning. The ships of the squadron are now recoaling, and will in all probability start upon a final trial on Saturday next.
