the friction was increasing every moment by the lifting motion of the ship. Not a moment was lost in lowering a chain, with the hempen stoppers, to the men in the boats of the Terrible ; but, as we have seen, there was no time to secure it. When next we hook it, it is more than likely that Mr. Canning will buoy it about 1,000 fathoms from the bottom, then grapple again in another place, and so ease its weight and strain in lifting. This morning the buoy wrs not in sight ; at 3 p.m. we were along- Bide of it, and found that its flagstaff had come to set grief. Steaming S.W. by S., seven miles, with a from the N.W., we commenced l o wering a mus - roo m anchor for another b uo y , No. 5, and at 7 30 p.m. let it go. It has a red flag and red ball at the top, with white horizontal stripes. No. 4 buoy bearing N.W. 1 W. Towards evening there was a fresh breeze from the east. Sunday, Aug. 19.—At 4 a.m., wind still east, we were close to No. 4 buoy, on which the Albany had replaced the staff and ball. We then went up to No. 5, and steamed S.S.W. five miles. At 8 a.m. lowered grapnel; at 9 there Ns ere 2,300 fathoms out when the grapnel reached the bottom. We drifted fast to the N.N.E., the squadron being in sight. From 9 till 3 p.m. the ship drifted steadily, with moderate wind and sea, but . the dynamometer showed no strain above 9 ; and the probability of our having passed over the cable without hooking it was much discussed. The Albany had signalled to us that she had hooked the cable, her dynamo meter indicating 9 ; but we scarcely thought this Was likely, looking at the position she was in. About 4 p.m. our strain went up to 10k, and occasionally touched 11, leaving no doubt we lwd the cable again. Away went the pick-up engine, and after getting in about 1,300 fathoms (7 10 p.m.), Mr. Canning felt that as some four or five hours must neces sarily elapse before he could get the remaining 1,000 in, he resolved to buoy. It took a couple of hours to get everything ready, and it was not until 10 p.m. that it was lowered over the starboard bow. The sun had gone down very angrily, and there was every appearance of wind. There would be no use in running the risk of lifting the cable on board at night, and in such heavy weather ; there is, there fore, nothing for it except to keep in position and wait a favourable opportunity. We steamed be tween the buoys during the night. Monday, Aug. 20.--At 11.30 a.m. we came up to the buoy to which the cable hangs. The obser vations at noon placed the ship in lat. 51.31.30 N., long. 38.39.50 W., at No. 6 buoy on bight of cable. Tuesday, Aug. 21.—Assuming the depth of water at 2,100 fathoms when we let the buoy go, the cable is buoyed in 940 fathoms from the bottom ; or allowing for stretch of rope and grapnel chain-900 fathoms, and deducting 40 fathoms of rope attached to the buoy 860. There ought not to be any prac tical difficulty in getting the cable on board next time, and making the splice, if we are only blessed with fair weather and a smooth sea, but it is simply useless to try in such a swell as prevails at present. When the boats of the Terrible were under the bows on Sunday last, the crews must have wished them selves anywhere else as they looked up to the stem of the great ship, and saw it lift with the swell. Next time we bring up the cable man-ropes will be lowered over the bows to the hawsepipes, so as to enable the crew to put the stoppers on. Last night it blew strongly from the N.E., and this morning it had all the appearance of freshening into a gale from the northward. At 10.30 this morning we came alongside of buoy No. 4, which we found adrift. Steaming up to it, having it towed by a boat under our starboard bow. Thornton, one of the boat swain's mates, was lowered in a bowline to the buoy, which turned round with him like a top, and he was repeatedly immersed in the water. He managed, however, to hook a chain on to it, and at 11.30 it was hoisted on board. The riding chain had broken at the angle. One is never surprised on board the Great Eastern at hearing of acts of per sonal bravery. There is always a readiness to face any danger. For example, some time before the grapnel came up with the cable on Sunday, Clark, our diver, was extremely anxious to be permitted to go down 20 fathoms to see whether the grapnel had hooked the cable ! Apropos of grapnels, a word of description here of the several kinds used in this expedition may not be uninteresting. The " ordi nary grapnel," which m e are now using, is about 4 feet high from the stock to the bottom. It has five prongs, each 10 to 12 inches high, and is fitted with springs to prevent the cable getting oat of the flukes in case it has to be buoyed. Each prong has been tested to a strain of 10 tons. There is also a " holding grapnel," which has not yet been used. It may be wanted in grappling for the end of the cable. It has also five prongs, which have been tested to 18 tons each. There is a " cutting grap nel," too, of the same shape as the "holding grap nel," but with steel cutters fitted on each prong, to cut the cable, if necessary. At noon to-day the latitude was 51.33.15 N. Near No. 6 buoy. Wednesday, Aug. 22.--H.M.S. Terrible.—Shortly after noon, yesterday, Captain Couamerall came on board to confer with Capt. Anderson and Mr. Can ning, as he has repeatedly done during this expedi tion, never sparing himself any trouble or inconve nience so long as he can render assistance. He has 230 tons of coal left. Considering that he has been out three weeks to-day from Heart's Content he has husbanded his stock judiciously. We steamed dur ing the night between the buoys to keep our posi tion, and be ready for a chance for grappling. Thursday, Aug. 23.—At 11.28 yesterday morning we began to lower the grapnel, and at 12.25 it was reported on the ground. The Albany returned from the position which she was directed to take, and signalled there was too much swell to grapple. At this time the Medway was three miles W.N.W., going for the end. At 2.30 p.m. the stern of the Great Eastern was canted to the N.W" the current setting us E.S.E. i n li ne with cable. At 2.55 the Medway signalled t o us th at having grappled to the west of the bight buoy, she had hooked the cable. At 4 p.m., bei n g carried to o far to the eastward, commen ced to heave up. The Albany was told w to pick up No. 2 b uo y , which was observe d to have drifted. At 5.40 we had another signal from the Medway, intimating that she had been mistaken, and had not hooked it. It appeared that when she had 1,800 fathoms out the strain went up to 9f, and suddenly down to 61 tons, which was the proper weight due to the rope. They had some apprehen sion on board her that they had broken the cable. When we hauled up our grapnel we discovered a large piece of granite, like stone, on the fluke, and not very much ooze on the rope. The Medway's grapnel was out all night, and on signalling to her this morning, at 5.45, we learned that she had 2,000 fathoms out, with a strain of 8. on the dynamometer, and had hooked nothing. At 5 o'clock we steamed for the east end of the bight bthuoy (the one to villich the cable is suspended), and Medway was ordered to go east of us, and the Albany to be ready to let go a mark buoy when we signalled to her. At 9 o'clock we commenced to lower the grapnel, and at 9.43 it was down. We are drifting towards the buoy, from which we are distant about two a miles. We are out to-day a fort night from Heart' Content. At noon to-day the bight buoy, No. 6 , b Lat. 51.30 20 N. ; lon e N. 53 W. (true) 21 miles. ;long. W. Wind N.N.E. Friday, Aug. 24. 12 t o'clock on Th urs d a y n the drifting of the ship was going on so satis factorily as it theWasgiintt o b earlier p t ar e t of the morning, and orders were given engines with a view to drifting the ship to the northward. At 7 p.m., when in lat. 51 , 32 , 45 -2 miles eas t of the " bight buoy"—we hove up, having f or t h e first time passed over the course of the cable without hooking it. The Medway's attempt was also un successful. As night approached, it became very " dirty," and there was a rough sea, too rough, if we had hooked the cable, to have done anything. At daylight this morning, the weather was very un promising, and by far too rough to attempt grap pling. By noon, the bight buoy bore N. 25 W. (flag.) 6 miles, having drifted since seven this morning at the rate of more than one mile per hour. • Saturday, Aug. 25.—1 n the course of yesterday afternoon, it was observed that the buoys had moved, and so at 7 p.m. another mark buoy was dropped, on which " No. 7" was painted. It bore from the bight buoy SW by W. 2 miles. The night was cold and disagreeable , and spirits as we were a week ago. However; we are " buoyed with hope." According to a calculation made by Captain Anderson in the month of March last, yesterday was the day we were to leave these latitudes for Heart's Content, having given the ship eight days to wait for weather, lift the cable, and make the splice. At 5 this morning we passed No. 5 mark buoy, bottom up. The Albany came and picked it up. At 6.30, stopping 11 miles east of the light buoy, having lowered the grapnel about 200 fathoms, it was found that the rope required a little repair. Mr. Canning, therefore, judged it more prudent to heave up. This will delay us a little, but it is far better to lose time than lose our rope, our store of which has been already les sened by the two miles lost by the Albany on the llth and two miles by the Great Eastern, on the 15th, when the grapnel rope and buoy rope drew. The Medway commenced grappling two miles west of the bight buoy a little after six this morning. At 9.30, our rope having been repaired, we stopped 11 miles east of the bight buoy, and again lowered the grapnel. We are about three miles from the line of cable, and it will be some hours before we are there. Sunday, Aug. 26.—Yesterday was the only really fine day we have had since we left Heart's Content. A bright sun and good horizon enabled us to get observations at noon, which placed the ship in lat. 51.33.50 N., long. 38.37.45 W., and then the bight buoy did not appear to have changed position. Shortly before 11 a.m. we found that the wind was failing, and the current setting us to the N.W., en tirely wrong drift, and so orders were given to heave up. At 3 p.m. the Albany came quite close to us with the large buoy No. 5 in tow, and being let slip was towed to us by one of her boats, and hoisted in on our starboard bow, Mr. Boatswain's-mate Thornton again appearing in his usually peril ous position on the buoy. At 5.15 we stopped three miles south of No. 6, and at 7.25 lowered one of the largest spring grapnels-21 cwt.—with 2,350 fathoms of rope and 15 of chain. We then drove north, backing the paddles. The Terrible placed a light on the light buoy, and with this guide we drifted slowly until 11.15. When we saw the light last it was distant about 31 miles, and we were within 11 miles north of the supposed position of the cable; By midnight it was almost calm, and the sea very smooth ; the strain on the'dynamometer indicating 8 tons. Still driving on, not knowing exactly how far, we got at 3 a.m. to-day an intima tion from the dynamometer that the strain had gone up to 101 tons, when suddenly it went down to 71. This did not look -Very promising. At 5.10 we observed the Medway S.W. / W., about five miles distant. We were then about six miles north of the cable, and 71 from where the grapnel was lowered. To have passed over the cable again with out hooking it was very discouraging, and so we commenced heaving up at 5.35. When the grapnel came on board we found two of its springs much bent, as if they had come in contact with a large stone. At seven o'clock the Terrible made a signal that the Medway had hooked the cable, and we found her half a mile S. by W. of the light-buoy ; the Albany grappling to the westward. At noon we were close to No. 6 buoy, lat. 51.31, and found by observations that it had not moved. Wind, N.W. Monday, Aug. 27.—For the tenth time we lowered the grapnel yesterday at 1.17 p.m., and it reached the bottom at 3.36. There was a general gloom over the ship. Men began to doubt whether, notwithstanding the fact of our having raised the cable, we should be able to get it up this season. In the North Sea and Mediterranean, where cables have been picked up over and over again, a cable engineer can reckon upon having some calm wea ther, but in the Atlantic Ocean at this time of the year there is no depending upon its continuing fine for twelve hours. We may hook the cable many a time, and even bring it to the surface, but there must be a comparatively smooth sea to enable the cable-crew to handle it and put the stoppers on, so as to bring it on board ship. However, the general feeling on board the Great Eastern is, so long as there is a biscuit left and a bit of rope in the ship we should persevere. Just before dinner, the Med way having come up to us, sent a boat, and we learned from Mr. London, when he came on board, that she had broken the cable S.W. of the buoy and set it adrift. We told her to pick it up, supposing the end still to be fast to No. 6. This, indeed, was bad news, and added materially to the gloom which prevailed. There being no use in grappling for what we considered a loose bight, we commenced to haul in at 7.35, and signalled to the Med way with rockets not to touch the bight buoy, but to watch by it until, further orders. At 10.25 the g rapnel was up. From that hour up to 1 o'clock this morn ing nothing particular occurred, when the Albany was observed bearing down upon us. She came close alongside, fired a gun, and her crew gave a ringing cheer. The welcome news was soon con veyed to the Great Eastern that she had the end of the cable buoyed. The observations decided that the Albany had hooked it east of the bight held by No. 6. Mr. Temple having come on board at an early hour this morning, informed us that he had hooked the cable at 5 p.m. yesterday, hove it up at 6.30, and got it over the bow at 11.30, buoying it at 12.30 ; so that, having got down to convey to us the intelligence at 1.30, he had done a good deal of work in the time. It appears that the maximum strain on the dynamometer of the Albany when,the cable was hooked was 11 tons, and under 3 tons when it reached her bows. Considering that it was lifted by the Albany with the identical machinery and engine used by the Great Eastern in picking up last year, with four strands of the grapnel rope gone and three of the flukes of the grapnel nearly straightened, we should never for oae moment des pair of recovering the Atlantic Telegraph Cable of 1865. We are now (10 a.m.) close to No. 8 buoy, which the Albany put down, and the ship's stern is being brought to the wind in order to heave in the cable. The next few hours will be very exciting, and even if we should fail, at all events we have got a large piece of the cable cut off from the grap nel by Mr. Temple before buoying it—the best and most practical evidence that it has been raised to the surface. Monday, Aug. 27, 9 p.m.—From 10 to 12 this morning the stern of the ship was the point of attraction to all of us. There Captain Anderson and Mr. Canning stood watching our own boats, and those of the Albany and Medway gathered about the buoy. The sets and currents were so remarkably strong that notwithstanding all the captain could do with paddies, screw, and canvas, he could not get the ship to back to the buoy. But even if he had been enabled to do so . there would have been little use, for Staff-Commander Moriarty came to him at noon with a calculation founded on the observations, which showed that we wore 81 miles from the nearest supposed position of the cable, and 13i miles from where the Albany hooked it yesterday. There was nothing now for it but to get the ship-bow on to the buoy, which we were enabled to do in about an hoar. The boats flocked fldoiffick e e a d lty ab i o t u w t aiteuhnodoltr Thebolvs of the ship, and after some motion, deck, long the ive badthe pick-up satisfactiongea r e f was seeingset i the old cable at dynamo meter zero telling th at w u e s a t wouldthe m havea same time but by its being practically a comparatively small piece to haul in. Mr. Willoughby Smith proceeded to s ascertain by taking resistances whatlength thehroetwaas mileto or two. In a very short time, the be brought in, and pronounced that it would engines be w orking with great rapidity, 2 miles were brought on board every drycoiled below. The condition of the cable surprised one. t T w h e e l r v e e m i t o w n a t h s , ago — os h t e as mp fr a e n sh a n the tt a w s ir w e h pe en rfe i c t t w . a A s b p o u N t 'e d a o l w l gutta percha was as new in appearance as when itleft t t h h a e t manufactory in the City - road; a fact so important, notwithstanding the disappointment which we all felt, we know now that as an insulator it is practically superior to any, and that a cable once laid across tho Atlantic without a fault may bo looked upon as perfectly secure. When we had got this piece of -cable on board wo steamed for the light buoy, with the view of hauling up tho cable attached to it. We commenced picking up at 5.30. At the same time I now write (9 p.m.) the grapnel rope is coming in very fast, with a strain on the dynamometer amounting to nothing, so that if the cable was on it must have slipped off the grapnel when wo began to haul up. The Albany leaves in the morning for England, having only 10 days snore provisions. If anything should occur between this and her departure, I shall add a postscript. We go to-morrow to fresh ground to grapple, animated with tho best hopes, and with a determination to persevere to the last. We have just a month's provisions on board. The Terrible must lea ve us f or St. John's on Monday next, tfr stock being exhausted. JOHN C. DEANE. Tuesday, Aug. 28—At 2 this morning —the sea as smooth as glass, and the moon shining in full brightness —we steamed W. by N. N. 15 miles from No. 7 buoy, the only on!) now IWlttalling. At 6.30 we went pout 4 6 iles to wards it, and at 8 o'clock the engines were stopped and orders were given to lower the grapnel, undor the suppo sition that the ship was south of the cable. But Captain Moriarty shortly afterwards found by sights that we were N. 52 E. 14 miles from our intended position, in consequence of No. 7 having unfortunately drifted to that extent. The drifting of the buoys has been a source of trouble and annoyance to us. Last year the rope used in buoying was made of wire ; heavier than the grapnel rope used in this expedition, consequently, from the additional weight, the buoys kept their position more accurately. Independently of this the weather was much better last year. We now hove up, and signalled to the Medway to do so as well. By observations at noon we were in lat. 51.38.15 N. long. 38.14.45 W. Wednesday, Aug. 29—Shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday . _ the Albany placed a mark-buoy 4 mile north of us, on which no number was painted, as it was not intended t 3 leave it there long. She then proceeded to the east to let down another mark-buoy, and at three o'clock we steered 15i miles west of the temporary buoy. By 7.15 p.m. the grapnel was again down with 2,300 fathoms of rope. Wo drove E.N.E. slowly, backing the ship's stern to tile north ward, with one paddlewheel, the rope being at a very great angle. From 8 p.m. to midnight the wind was west, and the Medway was grappling two miles further to the west ward. The strain of our grapnel rope became so great against the hawse-hole guard and side of the ship, that the dynamometer could not indicate properly, and it was suggested that the grapnel seldom touched the bottom, but was kept floating by the strong current. The wind was now increasing, and by 4 this morning was blowing half a gale. At 6 wo commenced bearing up, in sight of the buoy and the Terrible. At noon to-day Capt. Moriarty placed tho ship in lat. 51.39 N. long. 38.13.30. We are now going to change our ground and try to grapple for the cable 100 miles to the eastward, in 1,600 fathoms. Thursday, Aug. 30.—Shortly after 8 p.m. yesterday Captain Commerell came on board. It was arranged that he should at once proceed to St. John's, and having coaled and taken in provisions, return to us at tho rendezvous— lat. 51.52.30, long. 36.3.30, the 1,600 fathom patch. At 8.45 the Terrible was off. During the night it showed indications of the coming gale, and by this morning it blew hard from the N.N.W., but the weather was clear. At 7 this morning we had run our distance of 80 miles, and were supposed to be on the line of the cable, or very near it. At noon we were in lat. 51.37.45 N., long. 35.41.30 W., the rendezvous being N. 26 \V., 169 miles The engines were worked very slowly, and the ship's head kept to the wind, so as to retain het position in the line of the cable, while the Medway placed Buoy No.ll. The men were employed to-day in overhauling and repairing the grapnel rope, for its next work in shallow, and, we hopo more successful, waters. We are surprised at not seeing the Albany. We gave her latitude and longitude, and her answering signal showed that she understood us. No doubt she will turn up to-morrow. Friday, Aug. 31.—Wind N.N.W., with a heavy roll from the N.W. At noon to-day, by observations, we were 61 miles north of the line of the cable, lat. 51.58.45 N., long. 36.7 W. Nothing could be more favourable for com mencing operations—sea smooth, clear day, and no wind. Under these favourable circumstances orders wore given to lower the grapnel, at 10 a.m.—the Medway a couple of miles further to the westward grappling. It was nearly a flat calm at noon, but the swell still prevailed. The ship was placed by sight lat. 51.57.37 N., long. 36 1 W., 41 miles from the line of the cable. Saturday, Sept. I.—At 1 o'clock p.m. yesterday 2,150 fathoms of the grapnel rope was out, the depth of water being 1,900 fathoms—rather more than we expected. Can vas was set, and we drove along in the right direction, to the southward, all the afternoon. At 11.50 p.m. the strain on the dynamometer, which had been going up slowly from 7to 8, gradually reached 9to 91. Mr. Canning and Mr. Clifford both pronounced that we had hooked the cable. The Medway signalled to us that she had also hooked the cable and slipped it, the fluke of her grapnel having broken. The strain was temporarily taken off the dynamometer by steaming ahead a little, and when the engines were stopped, and the ship allowed to resume her position over the grapnel rope, the strain again indicated was 9f, showing that undoubtedly the cable was hooked. Away went the pick-up engine again, and worked away all night. By 450 this morning, the sea being as smooth as glass, the cable was up to 800 fathoms from the surface, and the strain 7.4 tons. At 5.20 wo stopped heaving up, and slipped bight and buoy No. 12. Shortly afterwards we were glad to find the Albany in sight. Captain Batt came on board at 8, and told us that they had come to the rendezvous according to signal, but wore disappointed at not finding us. We had felt the force of a strong current sending us about three-quarters of a mile an hour, from the southward, and so we missed each other. At 10 o'clock, the weather still being all that could be desired, after steaming .a couple of miles to the eastward, we have again lowered the grapnel, and hope for the best results. Sunday Morning, 3.45, September 2.—We have suc ceeded. Untiring energy and perseverance have con quered all the difficulties. The Atlantic Telegraph cable of 1865 has been raised to the surface, and in a few minutes afterwards communication established with Valentin. It is impossible adequately to describe the enthusiastic joy which prevails on board the ship at the present moment. Those men who by their skill have achieved this great success deserve well of their country. As I stated in yesterday's diary, the grapnel went down for the 15th time at J O a.m. Save that there was a long swell, as there always is in the Atlantic, the sea was like a millpond; and as we saw the grapnel go down, we could not help remark ing to each other, that the circumstances under which wo were going to make another effort to recover the cable were as favourable as they could possibly be. In fact, it was felt that if we did not succeed on such a day as this there was very little chance of our succeeding at all. The buoys had all been placed accurately to mark our position, the Medway was signalled to to grapple, and we were drifting as fairly for the line of the cable as if our course had been marked by a line on the water. From 3.45 p.m., when we began to haul up, the strain on the dynamometer varied from 9to 11. After dinner we received a signal from the Medway that she having hooked the cable, had hauled it up about 500 fathoms. We told her to heave up as rapidly as possible, and, in fact to break the cable, so that we might have the strain taken off our portion of it, and so increase our chance of raising it to the surface. To the eastward the effect would be produced by the bight we lifted yesterday, and buoyed on the bight buoy. The picking up went on with its usual certainty and precision, and by 12 o'clock (midnight) the bows of the ship were crowded not only by those actually on watch, but by nearly all the hands, who turned out to see the re sult of this attempt to recover the cable. By this time the boats of the Albany and Medway rowed up under our bows, not so much with a view to assisting in putting stoppers on the cable, but to be there in case any of the men who were lowered in bowlines over the bow should fall into the water during their perilous work. Pre cisely at 12.50 this morning the cable made its ap pearance upon the grapnel ; and, save when the voice of Captain Anderson or Mr. Canning was hoard giving an order, one almost could hear a pin drop, such was the per fect silence which prevailed. No excitement, no cheering as there was on the Sunday when we lifted it before—all was calm and quiet, the men scarcely spoke above their breath. The cable hands, having had the bowlines slipped over them, were lowered down over the bows, and placed huge hempen stoppers on the cable, which was speedily attached to 5-inch ropes, one being paced to protect the eastward side of the bight, and the other the westward. This took the best part of three-quarters of an hour. It was then found that the bight was so firmly caught in the springs of the grapnel that one of the brave hands who put on the stoppers was sent lower down to the grapnel, and, with hammer and marlinspike and other implements, the rope was ultimately freed from the tenacious gripe of the flukes. The signal being given to haul up, the western end -of the bight was cut with a saw, and grandly and majestically the cable rose up the frowning bows of the Great Eastern, slowly passing round the sheave at the bow, and then over the wheels on the fore part of the deck. Even then there was no excitement, but now men were seen to cross the platform and to touch the rope in order to feel satisfied that success had been achieved. The greatest possible care had to be taken by Mr. Canning and his assistants to secure the cable, by putting stoppers on between the V-wheel and the pick iliamachinery, and to watch the progress of the grapnel rope and shackles round the drum before it received the cable itself. This oc cupied a considerable time, and now it became evident that ere long the end would be passed down as far as the Elec trician's-room. There awaiting its arrival werelMr. Gooch, M.P., Mr. Cyrus Field, Capt. Hamilton, Mr. Canning, Mr. Clifford, Professor Tho mson, M r. Deane, and others. At last Mr. Willoughby Smith, the chief electrician, made his appearance at the door with the end of the cable in his hand, and, the connections having been made, he sat down opposite the instrument. A breathless silence prevailed. Not a word was spoken, all eyes being directed upon the experienced operator, whose expression of countenance in dicated the deep anxiety he felt in making the test. At the expiration of some ten minutes, ho relieved our sus pense by stating that as far as ho had then gone he believed the tests to bo perfect ; but another minute had scarcely elapsed when ho took off his hat and gave a cheer, which, as can be easily understood, was lustily taken up in the room, and.having been board outside, it was echoed from stem to stern of the ship with a heartiness which every Englishman can appreciate. A rocket or two having been fired from the ship to announce to our convoy that we had suc cheerceeded , e n the tim c s r i e a s s v t s i c o a f l i t y li . o Albany and Medway answered our Mr. Canning at once sent a message to Mr. Glass, the managing director of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, expressing the pleasure he felt at speaking to him through the cable of 1865, and the operator at Valentin telegraphed back his congratulations. We are now going to make the splice, which will take about three hours, and ere long we hope to hear the wel come sound of the paying-out machinery in the stern of the ship. The weather still continues as calm as it was yesterday, nd there is every probability that we shall be favoured with at all events some few hours more of quiet sea to enable us to slip tho bight buoy, and proceed on our way to lieart's Content. rpTIEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.- -a- Solo Lessee and Manager, Mr. F.

Things are not going so smoothly in the Prussian Chambers as Herr BIS3fARCK no doubt anticipated they would after the signal successes of the Prus sian arms. Now that the first excitement of the affair is over, it would seem that the members in both houses arc beginning to think a little of con sequences, and that they very naturally hesitate to confer too much power upon the Government. Thus we find that the Committee on the Loan Bill have re jected the Government proposal to issue sixty mil lion treasury notes, and instead have adopted an amendment to the effect that the amount to be issued should be only thirty millions, repayable in one year. This is a very wise proceeding on their part, and they will certainly find the advantage of it at a subsequent period. In the Upper House the Indemnity Bill was passed unanimously. Herr RETZOW made a speech, in which he regretted that the Government had adopted such a mode of put ting a stop to the conflict wth the Chamber of Deputies. This is very true, and we do not doubt that the course will hereafter be regretted, when the effects of it are more fully seen and compre hended. It is establishing a very dangerous pre cedent, and we wonder that the deputies were not sharp-witted enough to see this for themselves. The conduct of the Government has been so outrageous that it is most unwise to mention it, no matter how expedient it may seem to do so. The Berlin journals have enough to do in contradicting all that is said and written about foreign affairs, and their last effort is to deny the truth of the report that the French EMPEROR has thanked the King of PRUSSIA for preserving the integrity of Saxony. According to all we have heard on the subject, it would seem as if such a proceeding was very like saying "Thank you for nothing," for there will not be much to re joice at when the various arrangements are com pleted. The semi-official North German Gazette declares that many petitions have arrived in Berlin, protesting against the cession of any part of Schleswig to Denmark. The Hanoverian deputation have, however, let us into the secret of all these petitions in a great mea sure ; and henceforth we know that all possible aid is lent to the makinc , up of those which coincide with the wishes of the Prussian authorities, while no oppression is wanting to prevent the further awe of those which militate against their schemes. No doubt such a course is a very ingenious one to pur sue, only it may be carried out too far, and thus de feat its own purpose in the end. Those who are uninitiated may well be surprised to hear of all this clamour in favour of annexation to a Power which is so arbitrary iu its demands and so unscrupulous in its exercise of authority, but a little investigation will soon show them their mistake. The article in the North German Gazette con cerning the Belgian press has naturally excited a great deal of indignation in Paris, and many of the journals comment upon it in strong terms. It is, indeed, a very scandalous thing that a free kingdom should thus be insulted, and the language is the more reprehensible because it is supposed to emanate from the G overnm ent, although not offi cially so. Very likely the next news will be that Count BISMARCK has contrived to pick a quarrel with the Belgians in order to possess himself of their territory, or at least of a considerable portion of it. It is averred by those overpowering scrutinisers that in future the Belgians must mind what they are about, and not presume to pass any opinion upon what is done in Prussia, unless they can speak in terms of approval. It has really come to something when the press of a foreign country is to be lectured after this fashion, and its Government told to understand that they will be reckoned among the " enemies of Prussia unless they mend their ways." The miss taken and mischievous course adopted by the late Ministry respecting the Schleswig-Holstein question is still exemplified in the bear ing of Prussia. She now thinks that she can do as she pleases without let or hindrance, and scruple not to enforce her claims and carry out her plans, no matter how unjust or unequal these may be. We regard this attack on the Belgian press as a most unwarrantable thing, and also as a very signi- ' ficant sign of the times. It is very convenient to have a dispute all ready made, and one that is ready for any emergency that may arise. The EMPEROR'S departure for Biarritz, which is announced as likely soon to take place, seems to promise a certainty of peace for the present at any rate, but the_ dissatisfied tone of the French press and people has not yet abated. No doubt they are better able to judge of things than we are, and to comprehend more fully what will be the consequences of events now occurring. If so, who can wonder that they should be annoyed and irritated at the prospect before them, or give vent to their indignation in no measured terms. Affairs seem to have taken an unexpected turn in respect to the changes in Germany, and thus the plans of the French Government have been so far deranged, but we do not doubt that in a short time Prussia will find out that they have yet more before them if they would completely insure their conquest, and maintain their supremacy in Germany. The preparations that the French are making look ominous enough ; and of one thing we may be certain, namely, that the Prussians will find it very different to engage the French forces to what they did when they en countered the' Austjians. The latter fought with out heart or spirit; and, indeed, their army was composed of so many mixed races that it was not likely to act with the same force or efficiency as a more compact ones Those who think that the Prussians displayed moderation during the recent campaign will find out their mistake when all the details of the affair come before them. It will then be seen that they have acted with their usual greed and exhibited their customary want of consideration when quar tered in other countries. The Memorial Diplo matique contains some striking comments upon tho manner in which affairs were conducted by the Prussians. The Cologne Gazette animad verted upon the course pursued by some Austrian soldiers who took some linen from the Prussian hospitals, which, of course, was only alluded to in order to turn all attention from the depreda tions of others. The King of PRUSSIA was so much struck with the beauty of some merino sheep of good breed on an estate in Bohemia that he con fiscated them for his own farms without offering any indemnity. It must be added that, in conse quence of their rarity, these sheep are now of priceless value. This is certainly a very ignomi nous act for a king, and one that may well give rise, to comment on the part of strangers, while his own people may blush to hear of it. It is mean and paltry in the extreme, and indeed this makes it the worse, for there is not the excuse of any political advantage and military point being gained. The Royal example was followed by a General in the Prussian army, who carried off from the stables of the chateau of Nikolsburg two very fine horses, without asking any one's permission. No wonder, adds this journal, that the soldiers in the Prussian army should have misconducted themselves when they had such examples before them in high places. In the intoxication of victory they conducted themselves in Bohemia and Moravia in such a manner as to recall to mind the invasion of bar barians at the commencement of the Middle Ages." It is, indeed, deplorable that the army of a civilised country should thus forfeit all claim to respect and regard by their cruel and selfish pro ceedings, but it seems as if there was something innately wrong in the mode in which the Prussians carry on their affairs either at home or abroad. The Democratic party in America has had a heavy loss in the death of DEAN RICHMOND, one of those singular and self-reliant characters which the New World brings into rapid development. He rose from the ranks of the people without any adventitious aid, without even the solid advantages of education to be a man of property and influence, whose voice influenced the election of senators, governors, and Presidents, whose assistance was eagerly sought by politicians and statesmen, and who kept up an active correspondence with Ministers of State, even though he could not write a sentence grammatically. So much for native strength of character and natural ability. His death will be a blow to the Democratic party throughout the States and will be a great loss to the PRESIDENT, to whom he was a powerful ally. It was mainly owing to his exertions that the great Philadelphia Convention was set on foot, and his place as a political leader will not be easily filled. His loss at the present juncture is much to be de plored, as the struggle is still pending between the PRESIDENT and the Radicals. Mr. JOHN SON during his journey from Washington to New York has met with continual ovations from the Democratic party, but party feeling ran so high that in Philadelphia the Mayor (a Radical) con trived to be out of the way at the time of the PRE SIDENT'S visit in order to avoid having to receive him A fine specimen of municipal politeness truly ! General GRANGER, who was appointed special commissioner to visit the Southern States, to mingle with the people and test the public sentiment, has now made his report, after a six months' residence in the South. He reports that in no Southern State has he found any symptom of organised disloyalty. The people accept the issue of the war in good faith and are anxious for the presence of Northern industry and Northern capital amongst them. He heard rumours of secret societies, but on investigation they all proved to be charitable institutions. The remnants of the idlers left by the war, who depend on gambling and stealing for their livelihood, are said to be the cause of nearly all the present trouble in the South, and the Freedmen's Bureau and its agents account for the rest of the mischief. As both these evils are temporary in their nature, we may hope for a better state of things. The great experiment in submarine telegraphy has at length been brought to a triumphant conclusion. However lively was the satisfaction felt when the first telegram reached Valentia from Heart's Content, recording the successful establishment of a direct line of communication between the two hemispheres, it must have been surpassed by the extreme gratification of receiving a message through the long silent cable of 1865. The perseverance and constancy of the managers of the company have been at last rewarded, for on Saturday at 9.20 p.m. came the long-looked for signals. "It is with the greatest pleasure," so runs the magic message from the other side of the Atlantic, " I have now to report to you the suc cessful completion of the Atlantic cable of 1865." When the news was received that the vessels had suc ceeded in grappling the cable, of course the ultimate completion of the line was only a matter of time, but it is most satisfactory to find that so far from being damaged by its long immersion the cable has actually improved. The message which we have referred to came with greater precision and distinctness than those of the new line. Not a single repetition was necessary, and a warm congratulation being sent in answer, Mr. CANNING responded again from the Great Eastern. This is a gratifying fact, and gives us great encouragement as to the durability of the new line. Ever since the catastrophe of last year a careful watch has been kept over the reflecting marine galvanometer connected with the shore end at Valentia. An electrician has been always on duty, and twice every day the 1,240 miles of cable have been tested for conductivity" and insulation. The results of these tests were always the same, showing that up to the. very point where it broke off the cable was perfect. The object of keeping this close watch was to keep an account, recording the condition of the wire. Sometimes, owing to magnetic storms and other causes, messages came veritably from the sea, and incoherent words were spelt by these mysterious agencies. But on Sunday morning last the watcher perceived the indication of a coming mes sage, and in a few minutes the flickering light grew steady, and the long-silent cable began to speak clearly, accurately, and definitely, with a precision, as we have said, which surpassed that of the new line. Few except Mr. CANNING, the able engineer of the expedition, had really felt sanguine as to the result of the attempt to recover the lost prize. It is evi dent that the cable of 1865 was well worth the effort, since it has remained perfect all these months, though the cable of 1866 is, we believe, still better. It is a triumph for the engineers and electricians, which they richly deserve, and a valuable encouragement not only to the directors and shareholders of the company, whose fortunes are now established, but to all who, when concerned in costly and adventurous enterprises, encounter those checks and disappointments which await alike the boldest and the most wary, demand ing the exercise of that fortitude and perseverance which have in this instance been so triumphantly shown. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The Paris papers are beginning to discuss vigo rously what is called the Eastern question, and they give extracts from Russian papers with a view to show that there is likely to be a new struggle in Europe. The most important of these papers, which has a semi-official character, La Correspond ance Russe, says that the hour has not yet arrived for the deliverance of the Christians subjected to the Ottoman Porte. There are, ;however, it says, in Russia two parties who are disposed to take up the question with great energy. The ,Siecle says : —" According to the opinion of one party Austria since her defeat is excited towards the East by her friends in Europe. They seek to induce her to put herself at the head of the Sclavonian population. Turkey is evidently struggling against dangers be yond her strength. The principle of nationality is assuming proportions hitherto unknown." The Correspondance Russe, in proceeding to discuss this important matter, remarks :—" Will Russia be the only Power to deny the principle of nationality in the face of her co-religionists. We do not wish for conquests: we do not want to extend our domination in the East. But when the Christian populations who suffer under the Ottoman yoke begin to bestir themselves, shall Russia stand alone in not express ing he i r sympathies ; and ought we not to support their efforts ?" In reference to this passage the Siccle adds :—" There are no doubt in these words symptoms which ought not to be disdained, but it would be wrong in our opinion to regard them as identified with projects of the Government, parti cularly as the Correspondance Russe denies that they embody. its views." The Emperor, as at present arranged, will leave St. Cloud for Biarritz immediately. Among other distinguished personages who will assemble there will be her Majesty Queen Isabella of Spain. The Emperor held a Cabinet Council yesterday at St. Cloud. There was a numerous shooting party in the forest of St. Germain on Thursday, and the sport was unusually good. His Majesty killed no less than 180 birds. A day or two ago the Liberte had an announcement that an orphan of five years old, poor and abandoned, wanted a protector. The Moniteur, in reference to this announcement, says: This protector has been found. The Emperor has undertaken to provide for the education of the young orphan, whose name is Paul Felix Maneille." Letters from Brescia state that Garibaldi will shortly leave Brescia, not, however, to retire from military and political affairs, for it is known, on the contrary, for a certainty that he intends to take part in the sittings of the Parliament as soon as they shall be resumed. The shooting season in France, as in England, is inaugurated by some calamity. It has hardly com menced, but already there has been a deplorable ac cident. Two young girls were at work in a field in the commune of St. Pierre le Viges, near Rouen, when a sportsman, having started a bare, in the excitement of the moment, fired without perceiving them. The two girls, sisters, were both seriously injured. One was shot in the eye, and will probably be blind for life. The other received shots in the hand, arms, neck, head, and back.. The culture of flowers and fruit in France pro ceeds with increasing attention. What is called the Pomological Congress will be held at Melun on Tuesday. This will be the 11th session of this Congress. It was founded in 1856, and the object of it is to discover the best fruits cultivated in France, and to study and give prizes for new and fine varieties, and also to discourage the culture and sale of all bad or inferior fruit. The Society of Horticul ture of Melun is connected with that of Fontainebleau, and the various horticultural societies of France will have representatives at the ensuing Congress, and will compare their notes made during last year. The Milan Gazette mentions an atrocious case, which is about to be brought before the tribunal of Brescia. It is stated that a doctor, wishing to de stroy the family of a successful rival residing on the Lake de la Garde, promised to give the servant, a girl of 15, a new silk embroidered gown if she would destroy the four children. She made an infant, not a month old, swallow several pieces of needles, and she beat another child dreadfully about the head and mouth. The child was made to swallow ten pieces of needles in eight days. The girl threw one of the children into the lake, but it was rescued. Happily none of the children have been seriously injured. The servant has confessed her crime. She says that the doctor made an old woman the medium of incitement to the wicked acts. A company at Paris has contracted for the erec tion of several handsome and convenient markets, which will be let at such rates as will insure a handsome dividend. One of these markets, the Marche Beaujon, near the faubourg St. Honore, has just been opened as a substitute for the old Marche Laborde. The company are about to con struct ten other markets in various parts of Paris. The second market, the Marche Brezia, will be opened on the 15th of October,. and the third on the 15th of November, that of St. Quentin, near the Northern Railway station. Early next January a splendid new market will be opened at the Ba tignolles, a large suburb of Paris. The Correctional Tribunal of Dieppe has sen tenced to five years' imprisonment the English welchers who ran away with the stakes at Deau ville. A discovery has been made of great arclueolo gical interest. In the course of the excavations made in the courtyard of the Louvre, by order of the Prefect of the Seine, to ascer tain the exact site of the celebrated lofty tower built by Philippe Augustus in 1204, and razed by order of Francis I. in 1527, they have reached the walls of the ditch, by means of which the tower could be inundated. This tower, erected in the centre of the fortified inclosure, was the dun geon in which were imprisoned the celebrated roll of that day. Philippe Augustus, who took prisoner the Count de Flandre at the battle of Bouvine ill 1214, ordered him to be confined there. Afterwards there were prisoners there—Jean the Fourth, Duk e of Brittany, Jean du Grailly, and John the Second, Duke of Alencon. In after days the Bastille and Vincennes became the receptacle for State prisoners. Although the chateau of the Louvre was finishe d before Philip Augustus died, his successors, Louis IX. and Charles V. added the western wing' which was for some time called the chamber of Saint Louis. The chateau of the LOU had formerly four fortified gates. The princ i p al entrance was to the south on the banks of t he Seine. A new comedy, in five acts, " Louis Berteany. by M. Auguste Vacquerie, is about to be produ ced at the Theatre Francais. A new comic opera, hi t Auber, is to be produced at the Opera Comic]." a the time of the opening of the Great Exhibition. A memorandum-book, belonging to Talmat has come to light, in which the great actor was in the habit of making entries respecting his domestic ar' rangemeuts, his theatrical impressions, and his in terviews with great men. I give a few interesting specimens. Voltaire played Cicero in a white de; mino. It requires a longer time to make a gre a f actor than a great painter. The Emperor spoke me at his first bivouac after his landing at Cannes' The Emperor once said to me, after seeing Inc play Nero, " Talma, we make history." The Empe ror also said to me, "If Corneille were alive now, i would make him my Prime Minister." M. Chassepot, the inventor of the new gun to be used in the French army, has been named Chevali er of the Legion of Honour. A chemist of Marseilles is said to have made th e discovery that the" spawn of certain fish contains 3 tissue composed of delicate filaments with whic h silk may be made. It has been fine and warm to-day, but with oc casional violent sudden gusts of wind and &e e l clouds, which prevent the weather from being co' sidered as settled.
