With little or no loss of time they left the post in a com pact body, Robin Hood with a slight advantage, who shortly after gave way, and Queen Mary, in company with The Opposition and QuiVive, came on with the running, having King Hal, Salisbury, and the Doralice colt as their imme diate attendants. On reaching the distance The Opposi tion dropped back, leaving Queen Mary in front, but who was immediately after headed by W. Day's colt, who, with King Hal, Qui Vivo, and Salisbury lying up, came on to gether to the stand, where Adams called upon his horse, who immediately shot away in advance, and won very easily by a length ; a head between the second and third ; Qui Vive and Salisbury finished next so close together that the judge could not separate them, then came the Opposi tion, Mirella, and Lady Sophia; Lochiel last.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Friday, sto 1 agst Tennyson, Bto 1 each agst Sydmonton and the Vest colt. Sydmonton jumped away front, and made all the run ning, Friday going on second, Editha third, with the nick headed by the Vest colt, Tennyson and The Approver lying close at their heels, the last of whom was Rosa colt and Wild Bee. Proceeding along the far side, the leaders closed up and ran in a body to half way down, where Edith ap peared in front, but dying away as they neared the T.Y.C . post Lord Portsmouth's colt again assumed the command, having half a length the best of Friday and the Vest colt, close up with whom were Tennyson, The Swift, and Vice roy. They ran thus into the bottom, when the Vest colt tooka clear lead, which he retained to the straight, when he was beaten, leaving the favourite in possession of a clear lead, but on reaching the distance Sydmonton came up next the rails, with Tennyson on the right. The three running closely locked to tho end, Friday, who ran the longest, winning a fine race in the last stride by a head. A length between the second and third. The Swift was fourth, close up ; the Vest colt fifth, The Approver sixth, and Viceroy next. The Rosa colt and Wild Bee were the two last. The County Members' Plate (Handicap) of 50 soya added.

The favourite, after running a quarter of a mile, went in front, closely attended by Pelios, Seven-and-a-Half, and Stockinger to the distance, when Guildhall joined the front and half-way up challenged the favourite, but, failing to got up, ho was beaten with great ease by a length ; a head only divided the second and third; Eidolon was fourth, Helios fifth, and Seven-and-a-Half next. Cramp and Princess Dagmar were the last two. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BATH AND 80MERSET COUNTY MEETING. Irrespective of the good racing almost invariably met with on Lansdown, the Bath meeting, from its close proximity to the great event which Epsom will next week see decided, commands an interest peculiar and apart from other gather ings. The last moves in the great game of speculation which the Derby has afforded generally occur atßath. Here it is that favourites aro knocked out, and outsiders brought from their retirement, impostors summarily dismissed, and bolstered up lame ones given their coup-de-grace. We come hero quite as much for the latest intelligence as tho sport, and we generally do not go empty-handed away. As yet, however, there has been no movement of any very exciting nature. Beyond a great disposition to invest on Christmas Carol, who has been coming in the betting these last two days [(as little as 9to 1 was taken this morning), and the retrogression of Broomielaw to 40 to 1, we have not much to tell. Wild Charley was in great force, and Breadalbane, in consequence of his stable companion's re tirement, came again with such a rush that he was soon second favourite. Gladiateur kept his position, and there were some changes among the seeond rank of favourites, which the return below will show. The Trial Stakes gave us a good raco between Lytham and Heir-at-law, the favourite just managing to land by a head. The 2-yr-old form as yet out received a defeat in the 14th Biennial from a " dark" St. Albans, who scattered the favourites very easily. Rarely have the Somersetshire Stakes brought together such a poor field, or been carried off in so very hollow a style. Buckfoot was the favourite, and made nearly all the running, but Armagnac had his field safe before they had gone half the distance, and, running them to a standstill, won almost in a trot. There was avery find raceyor the 13th Biennial between Sydmonton, Tenny son, and Friday, who all threoran most gamely, Mr. Parr's colt staying a little the longest and winning by a head. There was a large party from Badminton, including the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, the Earl and Countess of Wil ton, the Earl of Portsmouth, Lord Andover, the Hon. Ad miral Rous, Mr. Geo. Payne, Sir Fredk. Johnston, &c. Tho stand was crowded, and the attendance of the general public quite up to the average. Tho Lansdown Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 sous added. Weight for ago, with selling allowances. 8-37- olds. One mile. 11 subs.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Lytham, 100 to 30 agst Donnybrook, 6 to 1 agst Stockinger, Bto 1 agst Gem of the Boa, and 10 to 1 agst Gilblas. Some time was lost at the post, through the repeated breaking away of Gil Bias and the continued refusals of the Miss Sellon colt to join his horses. When the flag was lowered Gem of the Sea was first away, closely followed by Lytham, Stockinger, and Gil Blas side by side; but after running 100 yards, Gil Bias, ovorpulling the lad, rushed to the . front and led round the bottom turn, where he sud denly disappeared. Gem of the Sea, in company with the favourite and Stockinger, then came on slightly in advance of Donnybrook and Heir-at -Law into the distance, where Lytham joined Gem of the Sea, the pair running together to the rails, where the latter gave way, followed in a few strides farther by Stockinger. This left Lytham with a slight advantage, which he retained to the enclosure, where Heir at-Law came up next the rails, and finished a fine race home, Lytham, who had always the best of it, winning by a head. There were three lengths betweenthe second and third; Stockinger was fourth, Gem of the Sea fifth, Black rock sixth, and Gil Blas next. The Miss Sellon colt was last throughout. with 40 s ou s added.

The favourite, taking a clear lead immediately they left the post, made play at a strong pace, followedon his left by Scamander and Bally Edmond, close in whose wake came Little Goy and Endsleigh, and half a dozen lengths behind these were Armagnac and Claxton. In these positions they came past the stand, but, on rounding the top turn, Little Goy ran into second place, having Endsleigh on his whip hand, the two alternately heading each other in the pursuit of the leader along the far side, Armagnac going on fourth.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, GREAT NORTHERN. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the King's-cross station, to consider certain bills now before Parliament—Colonel Packe, in the chair. The Secretary having read the notice of adjournment, Mr. Leech, the solicitor to the company, read the heads of No. 4 bill on the list, for the amalgamation of the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction Railway Company with the Great Northern Railway Company. He stated that the bill was promoted jointly by the two companies for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of Parliament to the agreements which had already received the approval of the proprietors. The Leeds shareholders were to receive the same rate of dividend as the Great Northern. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the bill was approved. The next bill was No. 5, for the amalgamation of the West Yorkshire Railway Company with the Great Northern Railway Company. He stated that the bill was promoted jointly by the two companies, for the purpose of carrying into effect arrangements lately made between them for vest ing the West Yorkshire in the Great Northern. The bill provided for the exchange of £l4O of Great Northern Ordi nary Stock for each £lOO of the share capital of the West Yorkshire Company, amounting to about £350,000, exclu sive of the debenture stock of £106,000, whioh was to be adopted by the Groat Northern Company. The bill was unanimously approved. The Solicitor read the heads of No. 6 bill, to vest in the Groat Northern and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Railway Companies jointly, the Stockport and Wood ley Junction, the Stockport, Timperley, and Altrincham Junction, the Cheshire Midland, and the West Cheshire Railways, and for other purposes with respect to the said four undertakings. The capital to be raised by the bill was £125,000, and the borrowing powers were £41,600. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a formal resolution ap proving the bill was adopted. The next was bill No. 14, to authorise the construction of railways, whereby Birkenhead and the Birkenhead Rail way would be connected with Liverpool. The object of the bill was to form an improved access to Birkenhead, with power to enter into working agreements with the Great Northern and other companies. The solicitor said the bill was now before the Standing Orders Committee, and might bo approved, subject to the modification of certain clauses in favour of the Great Northern Company. The bill was then agreed to. No. 16 was a bill for making and maintaining the Chester and West Cheshire Junction Railway. There was a clause in the bill giving the Great Northern Company running power over a portion of the lino. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a formal resolution ap proving the bill was adopted. The next bill was No. 19, for authorising the Manches ter, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company to make a railway to Liverpool. The chief object was to make a new railway between Manchester and Liverpool, and to enter into working ageeements with the Great Northern and other companies, and to authorise them to subscribe to the capital. Then were permissive powers to enable the Great Northern and Midland Companies to subscribe to the under taking, and the bill gave each of them full facilities for traffic over the railway. A resolution approving the bill was adopted. The next bill submitted was No. 23, for conferring addi tional powers on the Midland Railway Company for the construction of works and otherwise in relation to their own undertaking and the undertakings of other companies. The bill authorised the construction of a short branch line at Newark, between the Groat Northern and Midland lines, and was to be made and worked jointly by the two com panies. The bill was approved. Thu nut bill was No. 25, for waking a railway to bo PRICE 4d:, STAMPED sd. called the Spilsby and Firsby Railway. The Great Northern Company were to work the traffic on the line for 21 years, the Spilsby Company taking two-fifths •and the Great Northern three-fifths of the traffic for working the line. The bill was then agreed to, and the meeting adjourned to 2d June for the consideration of the remaining bills on the list. BISHOP'S CASTLE A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at _ _ the Westminster Palace Hotel, Mr. Whalley, M.P., In the chair, for the purpose of considering three bills now before Parliament. The first was for enabling the company to make deviations from their authorised railway, and a new line in connection therewith ; the second bill was for autho rising the company to make branches to neighbouring rail ways ; and the third to enable the company to extend their branch line to the Shrewsbury and Welchpool Railway. The CHAIRMAN moved formal resolutions approving the bill. Mr. WIDDING seconded the resolution. Capt. JOHNS moved, and Mr. GARTSIDE seconded, an amendment, to the effect that the bills be not further pro- Ceeded with. The amendment was lost upon a show of hands, where upon Captain Johns demanded a roll.

For notices of this starting work see the "Saturday Re view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the " Weekly Dispatch" of April U, " The Quacks and their Crimes ;" " The Sun" of April 12, " 'Detector's' Broadside on Quacks and Quackery." GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which " PunCh" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl , t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, Ring William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, white they invoke your indignation and disgust 01 coarse you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, it your acquaint ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means 7" Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12. ...

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at Great George-street, Westminster, Mr. Simpson in the chair, for the purpose of considering two bills now before Parliament. The CHAIRMAN said the first bill he had to submit was one authorising tho company to extend the railway, to pur chase or lease the Cowes and Newport line, and to raise additional capital. The capital proposed to be raised by the bill was X 39,000 for the eastern section of works, £20,000 for the central section, and £160,000 for the western sec tion, and £62,000 for the Cowes and Newport line, with the usual borrowing powers. He moved the resolution ap proving the bill, which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said the second bill was to empower the company to work steamboats to anti from the Isle of Wight. The proposed capital was £30,000. A resolution approving the bill was adopted, and the pro ceedings terminated. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. NORTH RIDING. The Hon. E. Duncombe has issued an address soliciting re-election. The hon. gentleman states that he would op pose every attempt to diminish the rights or impair the in fluence of the Established Church, while he would support all measures to increase her usefulness. He is opposed to measures of a centralising tendency, and supports the re duction and ultimate repeal of the malt tax. He is not in favour of violent changes in the constitution, and he re gards the proposition to lower the borough franchise to £6 as rash and impolitic ; at the same time, " in the true spirit of Conservatism," he is prepared to support measures for the improvement of our institutions, the amendment of our laws, and the promotion of the education and general wel fare of the people. NOTTINGHAM. On Monday evening a crowded meeting of the Conser vative electors of Nottingham was held at the Assembly Rooms for the purpose of hearing an exposition of the political opinions of Mr. G. A. Martin, barrister-at-law, the Conservative candidate for the borough. Mr. W. Parsons (the ex-Mayor) was in the chair. Mr. MARTIN', on coining forward, was loudly cheered. He said, the Conservative measure of Reform which he would support was based upon the principle of the franchise being a privilege of selection; not giving it indiscriminately to all, but by a selection, so as to have all classes duly repre sented. It was also based on property, the modern forms of property, an accumulation of money distinct from land. It proposed to give the franchise to persons who were lodgers—(cheers)—persons who had a certain sum of money in the funds, persons who had money in the savings banks, and persons who had money in other ways, according to certain tests. There was another subject cognate with the question of Reform—the ballot. He looked upon the fran chise as a matter of public trust, and it should be exercised just inthe same way as they expected the votes of a member of Parliament to be given, in public. (Loud cheers.) The next question was Church-rates. That was a question of local government. Why should you interfere with other people ? There were two bodies of people who objected to Church-rates : one party differed from the Church of Eng land merely upon religious grounds, and thought it hard they should be compelled to pay for what they did not agree with and did not support by their attendance ; then there was the other party, the more modern, which had prevented the settlement of the question on a propor basis. They differed from the Church upon political grounds, and said it ought to be separated from the State, and upon that ground they objected to Church-rates. The Conservatives when in power brought forward a measure to relieve the objections of the first party, which he would support. But when an attack was made upon Church-rates, which involved the union of Church and State, it was a different matter altogether. If they wanted to go in for the separation of Church and State, let them have it fair and out and out, and then the Conservatives would know how to meet those opponents of Church-rates. The learned gentleman then alluded to the public expenditure. Millions were voted away when very few members were present, but if they elected him as their member, he pledged himself not to be absent when the country's money was voted away. A rosolution was carried unanimously pledging the meet ing to support Mr. Martin. Sir Robert Clifton has not yet issued an address. PONTEFRACT. Mr. Waterhouse, the Conservative member for this borough, is to be opposed by a second Liberal candidate at the next election. There appears little or no doubt that the present Liberal representative, Mr. Childers, will be re elected ; so that the contest will rest between Mr. Water house and the second Liberal candidate—Mr. Macarthur, an extensive London shipping merchant. Mr. Macarthur is now on a visit to Pontefract, and is " feeling his way " in the best manner he can. On Monday ho met the Liberal commitee of the borough, who unanimously passed a reso lution asking him to allow himself to be put in nomina tion. He acceded to the request, and in the evening he addressed a tolerably numerous meeting of the electors and non-electors. He declared himself to be a supporter of the Government of Lord Palmerston, because he be lieved that his home and foreign policy had contributed to the advancement of the interests and the prosperity of the country. On the subject of the Parliamentary fran chise he (Mr. Macarthur) considered that no man, looking at the state of the country, but must be convinced that some alteration must be made. He trusted that the time was not far distant when a large portion of the respectable non electors would have the privilege of recording their votes in favour of the candidate they would desire to represent them in Parliament. Not only would he vote for a reduc tion of the franchise, but ho would also desire to include a large number of intelligent and thoughtful men in the privi leges of the Constitution who were now excluded, such as those who had paid income tax, or had graduated at Oxford or Cambridge. He had no fear of the working men, and he would vote for the £6 franchise. He would vote for the abolition of church rates, and if he had been in Parliament he would have voted for the Union Chargeability Bill. He concluded by announcing that he would commence a per sonal canvass of the electors on the following (Tuesday) morning. MANCHESTER. Mr. J. A. Turner, one of the members for Manchester, has announced his intention to retire on the dissolution of the present Parliament. His retirement has been, confi dently spoken of as likely for several years past, and has beon several times announced in the papers, and therefore has not created surprise. ALLEGED ATROCIOUS CONDUCT OF A SHIP'S OFFI CER. —A case of alleged cruelty came under the observation of Mr. Booth, one of the borough magistrates, on Friday, in which at least one responsible officer in the mercantile service appears to be involved. A certificate having been given by Mr. Rowe that a boy named Thomas L. Miienzie, 15 years of age, residing at 82, Prescott street, was in a position which rendered his death immi nent, Mr. Booth was called upon to take the bo y' s deposi tion, which was to the following effect :—On May 28, 1864, he sailed as an apprentice in the ship Halton Castle, of which W. E. D. Martin was chief mate, bound from Liver pool to Valparaiso, one or two other ports, Callao, andback. On the voyage out Martin struck him frequently o n th e head, and pulled his ears till they bled ; and on the voyage home he ill used him to a much greater extent. In April, an order having been given during the night to "about ship," and the lad being longer in getting his clothes on than the men were, Martin flung him out of his berth on • the deck,and kicked him on the side, beneath the right rib, as he lay there. A few days later, finding the boy trim ming the lamps below, Martin struck him on the head and ears, the latter being sore from previous ill treatment. Soon after this, being kept without his food, the boyfainted at the wheel, and the next morning he could not leave his bed. On the 2d inst. Martin struck him several times on the head and about the ribs, so that the lad could scarcely breathe ; and when complaint was made to the captain, Martin again kicked the lad. Several times during the voyage he threatened to kill him, and once or twice he said he did not care if he were fined £5O or £6O for hurting him, but he was afraid of the disgrace. For some days before the ship reached Liverpool the lad was too ill to get up, and when he arrived here had to be taken to the hos pital. Martin has been taken into custody, and remanded, to await the result of the lad's injuria—Liverpool dOion. I i~ ~'~ S S PAP E l't In Mae more than two months, if a,ll goes well, England and America will once more be in electric communication. The new Atlantic cable will be finished and on board the Great Eastern by the latter end of June, and during the first days of the succeeding month the ship will leave Valencia. Many persons may be inclined to doubt whether the condition we have named will be fulfilled — whether all will go well.. The bad fortune of the first Cable will be feared for the second, and the simple piety of some good people may even be shocked at the persistent attempts of man to join those continents which Providence hath put asunder; but we think that few gloomy fore bodings could resist the influence of a visit to the scene of preparation at Sheerness. The difficulties in the way of laying a cable across the Atlantic are only appalling to those unacquainted with the means by which the engineers and electricians on board the big ship intend to overcome them. Unlike some enterprises which seem easy to the ignorant and impossible to the learned the present undertak ing is only impossible to the uninitiated, while to men of science and experience it promises an assured triumph. A visit was paid to the Great Eastern a few days since by a large party of the directors' friends, and it may be said that all who understood the preparations which they saw came away with a greatly strengthened confidence in the future of the new cable. Since 1858, when the first Atlantic line was laid, the advance that has been made by the scientific world towards comprehending elec trical phenomena is very great. It has been said, by a man well qualfied to speak on the subject, that electric science has passed since that time from its childhood to its maturity. So far as the phenomena connected with long electric circuits were con cerned we had in 1858 no knowledge. The instru ments in common use were unsuited to receiving signals through a great length of cable ; the neces sity of providing for the conductor an insulation so perfect as to approach an absolute condition was inadequately appreciated. The best pre liminary test for a long cable had not been devised, and the old Atlantic tele graph was laid without having been subjected to any searching test on shore. Everybody had advice to give concerning the management of the wires, but no . one recommended the precautions which subse quent experience has shown to be necessary. When the signals began to fail the battery power was aug mented, and electro-magnetic induction coils, which rapidly helped on the destruction of the conductor, were put is circuit. No one thought of 4 ‘ nursing" the cable--of humouring its feeble attempts at arti culate utterance, and of finding out what it said rather bylistening acutely than by constantly calling on it, in the language of the Victoria gallery, to " Speak up." The old cable, however, is dead and gone ; part of it has been picked up and ap plied to ignoble uses, as a racehorse past his work may be put into the shafts of a Hansom; part of it has been abandoned, and lies where itr-mhy rest till the end of time, in the" dark unfathomed caves" of the deep sea. Let us turn to the practical present. The Great Eastern looks just now more like an engineer's workship than a seagoing ship. The vast expanses of her deck are covered with wooden sheds and piles of timber. There are smiths' forges be low, and between the decks you might fancy your self in a machinist's factory. The great engines of the ship, it is true, have lost the bright look of ma chinery which is in constant use ; and the huge dull masses of iron seem asleep, or in a trance. If you descend the ladders which lead to the boilers and fur naces—an expedition which is more like going down a mine than any other to which it can be compared —you find yourself in the midst of darkness, solitude, and cold, but in those regions of the vessel where the cable is being shipped and watched there is every sign of keen, vigilant intelligence. When you understand what is being done, you see something more than this—that scientific foresight of the highest order directs every step ; and that the thick tarry rope, coarse and rough to appearance, which lies coiled away under water in the tanks of the ship is manufactured, scanned, and tested with as much care as the nicest optical instrument in an astro nomer's observatory, or the most delicate apparatus of fragile glass ever applid to the careful experiments of chemistry. It seems impossible that there can be any fault in the Atlantic cable when the Great Eastern goes to sea. To say nothing of the tests ap plied to it at the manufactory, it is tested not alone after it has been taken on board, but during its delivery into the ship. As soon as a length is brought alongside, one end is connected with the coils already on board, and the other end with the instruments in the testing room. The circuit is thus made through the whole extent of the coil, the por tion onboard and the portion alongside. The process of hauling in then commences, and the insulation is continuously observed. The instruments in the test ing room record the smallest deviation from abso lutely perfect insulation. It will be understood that an insulation which shall be quite perfect, as an electrician understands the word, is not attainable. A piece of metal separated by means of the purest glass, and enclosed in the driest atmosphere that can be obtained, will, if charged with electricity, lose that electricity after a time. In speaking of insula tion we must therefore be understood to mean an approximate condition ; but the approximation in the case of the new Atlantic cable comes so near perfec tion that this rough tarry rope is a scientific won der. The last dying pulsation of the old Atlantic cable was forced through it by moans of a gab anic battery consisting of two hundred and forty cells. The submarine telegraph from London to Amster dam is habitually worked with a battery of fifty cells, and such a battery is commonly used for the other submarine lines of Europe. Signals have been repeatedly sent through more than thirteen hundred miles of the cable now on board the Great Eastern by means of one cell. Galvanic currents so feeble that they could not have been felt by the hand, and might have been passed harmlessly through a circuit completed by the operator's tongue, can be used to convey messages along a length of cable that would very nearly stretch from London to St. Petersburg. Over needle instruments, such as those in ordinary use for land tele graphy, a current from one cell would be powerless. To record such faint pulsations of electricity it is necessary to use Professor Thompson's mirror gal vanometer. This beautiful instrument consists of a mirror about the size of a fourpenny piece, made of microscope glass, and so thin that it weighs only a grain. On the back of this mirror a minute magnet is fixed, and thus supplemented it is suspended by a silken fibre in the heart of a coil of wire, so that any current passing through the coil deflects the mag net and the mirror along with it. A ray of light reflected by the mirror falls on a scale, distant about 18 or 20 inches, and reveals its faintest movements. Different combinations of these movements repre sent the different letters of the alphabet, and thus the apparently erratic wanderings of , a ray of light are made to convey intelligence. An instrument of this kind is constantly used to test the cable as it is hauled on board ; and if any fault had existed it could not have passed with out detection. Up to this time, when there are on board the ship and alongside 1,970 miles of cable, no fault has been discovered. The machinery for paying out is not yet on board, but is being put together at the Greenwich works. The process of immersion will take about a fortnight. The beginning of the shore end will be laid by a small vessel, which will meet the Great Eastern about 20 miles from the Irish coast. The cable will then be passed on board, connected with that in the great tanks, and the big ship will begin her voyage. To the uninitiated this process of cutting and joining the cables ap pears very mysterious, but the engineers who are used to the work face it without any hesitation. The joints do not really endanger either the insula tion or the strength of the cable, as wherever they are made the external and conducting wires are spliced along a considerable length—some times not less than thirty yards—and the gutta percha carefully put on in separate layers, firmly pressed together by means of warm irons. The completeness of the joint is tested by laying it in an insulated metallic vessel containing water, and ascertaining, by means of tests applied to this vessel, whether any electricity escapes from the joint as a current is passed alone the cable. 4 i!SV,r .
