The Sun. — London, England, 1866-08-18 00:00:00

SHE SUN, Lolthol4, EVENING, AUGUST 18, 18616. allow themselves tro be carried away by the smoothness of 24 hours'events. The convoy kept their position accurately during the day. The Terrible signalled to us at 1.45 p.m that a man had fallen overboard. Iler cutter was speedily lowered. The sailor had, however, laid hold of a rope thrown to him from the frigate before the boat reached him. At 10.45 p.m., Mr. Willoughby Smith sent in the latest news from Europe, set up in this form : " THE GREAT EASTER'S•TELEGRAPII , SATURDAY EVENING, July 14, 1866. Vol. I. No. I. "General Cialdini is moving upon Rovigo, with an army of more than 100,000 men and 200 guns. The Austrians have evacuated the whole country between the Mincio and the Adige— " Seems it not a feat sublime Intellect hath conquered time ?" The welcome arrival of this message (and by concert with the shore we shall be kept advised of all the leading European news) is a practical proof of the value of our chief electrician's arrangements, for while the message was being transmitted to us the insulation tests were continu ously going on. The fundamental difference between last year's system of testing and that of the present expedition is, that now all the ordinary tests for continuity, &c., may be made simul taneously with the tests for insulation which is not inter rupted at all ; whereas last year, during half the time spent in laying the cable, the insulation was wholly neglected, as will presently be shown. Last year each hour was divided into four parts. The first half of the hour was spent in testing for insulation. During the second half, which was divided into three periods of 10 minutes each, tests were made to ascertain the resist ance of the conductor, and to prove the continuity of the same. All these tests wore of such a nature as to afford no criterion whatever of the state of the insulation during their continuance, so that during the half of each hour, or, in other words, during half the time spout in laying the cable, the insulation test was neglected. Also, while the insulation test was being - made, there was no means of communicating with the shore, as the observations were taken on board only. This year a test for insulation is constantly kept on, and by Mr. Willoughby Smith's arrangement, corresponding ob servations are made both on ship and shore. At stated times during the hour the continuity test is made at the shore station by means of a condenser applied to the con ductor of the cable. The effect of this is to increase the deflection on the ship's insulation galvanometer, thus serv ing as a continuity test. Communications from shore to ship aro also made by these means. Ship can send signals to shore by simply reversing the currentfor certain lengths of time, answering to some understood code or by increas ing and diminishing the tension of the line, according to a prearranged plan. All these operations may be performed , without interrupting the insulation test except for a few seconds, while the current is being reversed. So far for the new system in the electrical room as compared with last year. And now a word or two about the paying out and picking up machinery of 1866 ; and we shall see how the experience gathered from 1865 has been practically car ried into effect. The paying out apparatus is the same as used last year, with the exception of a stronger drum,which is necessary for the purpose of hauling in the cable at the stern if required. Powerful hear has been placed by the side of the machine, so that by means of clutches the drum can be reversed, and the cable hauled back, in case a fault is discovered. This gear is driven by a 40-horse power engine, made by Messrs. Penn, and supplied with steam from the main boilers of the ship, which insures a supply at any moment. The hauling-in machine for grappling placed at the fore part of the ship, is more powerful than the one used last year, and consists of two drums of sft. Bin. in diameter each, by 20in. broad, connected by gear with a Penn engine of 40-horse power, similar to that attached to the paying out machine. The rope or cable passes over both drums, and an arrangement is made for " fleeting" the grapnel rope or cable on the drums by means of small rollers placed between the drums, and each roller guiding a turn of the rope or cable as it passes from ono drum to the other. This engine is also supplied with steam power from the ship's main boilers. At ten minutes past 10 p.m. the Albany was observed to drop astern, and we learned through the medium of Colomb's admirable flash signals, at a distance of about five miles, that she had lost the bolt of her eccentric. At daylight, the damage having been repaired, she was again in position. Tho sys tem of signalling on board is very perfect, and the convoy, like the Great Eastern, has been supplied by the Admiralty with experienced signalman. We sent early this morning the news of Cialdini's advance upon Rovigo to Captain Commerell, of the Terrible, and to Captain Batt, RN., and Captain Prowse, R.N., who are on board the Albany and Medway. Messages are to be sent every morning to the convoy, giving Greenwich time, by Rede's cone telegraph. The umbrella cone being opened two minutes previously, at 10.30 it will bo collapsed, and the time will be given ac curately. Divine service was performed in the dining saloon by Capt. Anderson. At noon to-day we had payed out 283.24 miles, slack 7.69 per cent. Lat. 52 deg. 1 min. 15 sec. ; long. 17 deg. 29 sac.; course N. 89.40 W. Distance from Valentia. Telegraph Office 253, from office at Heart's Content 1,406. Another message has arrived, and has been duly published in the Great Eastern,- Telegraph :—" Italy has declared to Franco net to accept separate armistice. Impressions here very warlike, chances of peace having declined. French fleet on its way to Venice, and French commissioners ordered to Venetia. Notice s3nt head quarters of Prussian army to announce armed mediation of the Emperor.—Paris, 10th July, evening." MONDAY, July 16. Still everything going on well—the sea like a mill-pond. The paying out of the cable from the after-tank progressing with uniform certainty and steadiness, and the electrical tests perfect. We are now paying out some of the cable of 1865. This tank contains 839.685 miles, of which there are 267 miles of the old cable. The fore-tank, from which we shall pay out next, holds 670.83 miles, with about three miles of shore-end, and the number of miles stowed in the main is 865-139. Mr. Canning calculates that we shall have payed out the remaining portion of the old cable by to morrow morning, and if nothing arises in the way of acci dent by Thursday night or early Friday morning the after tank will be emptied. We ought to be then pretty nearly half-way to Heart's Content. . We had a second edition of the Great Eastern Telegraph at dinner yesterday giving us the following news, which was speedily transmitted later in the evening by Colomb's flash signals to Capt. Commerell, of the Terrible, who can lay claim to being the first captain of her Majesty's navy who enjoyed the luxury of getting news from Europe twice a day on the Atlantic Ocean : "China arrived, with news from America, via Halifax. Money abundant ; gold 153 k. Exchange on London 167. Dreadful fire at Portland ; half city burnt ; 2,000 families homeless ; damage 10 million dollars. " Saturday's News—No alteration in bank rate. Prus sians have declined armistice. Consols 871. Cork steamer Osprey in collision with H.M.S. Amazon, for Halifax off Portland, July 6. Both foundered. Dozen drowned. Rest reached Torquay in boats. Amazon put helm hard star board." Our track is about 30 miles to the south of that of last year, and at that distance we passed parallel to where the telegraph cable parted in August, 1857. The depth of water during yesterday was between 1,950 and 2,100 fathoms. Temperature 58 deg. Average strain indicated by the dynamometer, 10.54. Our average speed has been about five knots. We were obliged to stop the screw en gines in order to bring her down to that speed, and, more over, to reduce the paddle boiler power. Capt. Anderson's ingenious mode of cleansing the ship's bottom, which he sedulously carried out during last winter at Sheerness, has proved to have effected this very desirable object ; for Mr. Beckwith, the engineer, is now enabled to regulate and adjust her speed and get more out of the ship, if necessary, than he could last year, when her bottom was an encrusted mass of mussels. We exchange latitude and longitude daily with the ccn voy. Staff-Commander Moriarty takes his observations -in dependently, and Captain Anderson and his officers take theirs ; so whenever the sun gives them a chance many sextants are at work. More news from Valentia ; but, alas! how sad in some respects : " Cholera broken out in Liverpool—several deaths. Yel low fever raging in Vera Cruz. Birmingham Banking Company stopped payment on Saturday—liabilit;es over two millions-800 shareholders. Darmstadt, July 12, 2 a.m.—Princess Louis of Hesse gave birth to &princess. S.S.

News from London just as we were at lunch : " Prussians had successful engagement before Olmutz yesterday. Captured six guns. Further fighting expected to-day. Anstrians withdrawing from Moravia towards Vienna. London, Tuesday." WEDNESDAY, July 18. A fresh breeze from the southward. A dull grey sky with occasional rain andamoderate sea, prevailed frPin noon yesterday. At 5.28 p.m., Greenwich time, a bell in con nexion with the electrical-room sounded in the tank. Mr. Temple, one of Mr. Canning's staff, being on duty, imme diately pressed the valve of the steam whistle which is fitted at Mr. Latimer Clarke's suggestion at the stern, and com municates by compressed air through piping to the screw paddle-engines and helm—a similar apparatus being fitted in the bows of the ship. The signal was so promptly answered by the engineers that the Great Eastern was stopped in less than her own length. Mr. Clifford, hearing the bell, ran at the top of his speed to the paddle-engines hatchway, but long before he could reach it they were stopped. Of course great anxiety arose to ascertain what was the matter. We were all delighted to learn that it was a false alarm. One of Mr. Willoughby Smith's assistants ha€l, by mere accident, touched the spring of the bell. We had, however, practical proof from this incident that every one was at his post ; and Capt. Anderson, ever thoughtful and watchful, took advantage of what had occurred to makasome alterations, in concert with Mr. Canning, in the instrucOons to the officer on duty, so that he should ver bally comnrmicate with the engineer if a similar alarm was given, and not' trust entirely to the whistle system, effective though it fa in working. All went on well until 12.20 a.m., Greenwich Orne, when the first real check was given to the success which had hitherto attended us, and this time we had real cause to be alarmed. A foul flake took place in the after tank. The engine.° Were at once turned astern, and the paying out of the cable stdpPed. We were All soon on the deck, and learned that the runt' °g or pay ing out part of the coil had caught three turns of th,:lilake immediately under it, carried them into the eye of the cog, fouling the lay-out, and hauling up ono and a half turns from the outside, and five turas in the eye of the under flake. This was stopped, fortunately, before entering the paying-out machinery. Stoppers of hemp, also, were put on near the V wheel astern, and Mr. Canning gave orders to stand by to let go the buoy. This was not very cheering to hear, but his calm and collected manner gave us all con fidence that his skill and experience would extricate the cable from the obvious danger in which it was placed. No fishing line was ever entangled worse than the rope was when thrust up in apparently hopeless knots from the eye of the coil to the deck. There at least 500 feet of rope lay in this state, in the midst of thick rain and increasing wind. The cable crew set to work under their chief engineer's in s'ruction to distentagle it. Mr. Halpin was there, too, Pa tiently following the bights as they showed themsel Yea the crew now passing them forward, now aft, until at last the character of the tangle was seen, and soon it became apparent that ere long the cable would be cleared. All this time Capt. Anderson was at the taffrail anxiously watching the strain on the rope, which he could scarcely make out, the night was so dark, and endeavouring to keep it up and down, going on and reversing with paddle and screw. When one reflects for a moment upon the size of the ship, and the enormous mass she presents to the wind, the diffi culty of keeping her stern, under the circumstances, over the cable can be appreciated. The port paddle-wheel was disconnected, but shortly afterwards there was a shift of wind, and the vessel canted the wrong way. Welcome voices were now heard passing the word aft from the tank that the bights were cleared, and to pay out. Then the huge stoppers were gently loosened, and at 2.5 a.m., to the joy of all, we were once more discharging the cable. They veered it away in the tank, to clear away the foul flake, until three a.m., when the screw and paddle-engines were slowed, so as to reduce the speed of the ship to 41 knots. During all this critical time there was an entire absence of noise and confusion. Every order was silently obeyed, and the cable-men and crew worked with hearty good-will, Mr. Canning has had experience of foul flakes before this, and showed that he knew what to do in the emergency.. But what of the electrical condition of the cable during this period ? Simply that through its entire length it is perfect, or, as it is technically called, "0. K." We lost the Terrible in the thickness of the night, and, save for a few minutes, did not see her till seven this morning. The Albany and Medway showed on the starboard and port-quarter at five a.m. The weather is still very hazy. More messages through the cable, which shall be duly recorded ; for when this diary is circulated among the newspapers of the United States within ten days from this date, earlier intelligence of European news will be distributed than can be obtained in any other way. Here are the messages of yesterday's Great Eastern Telegraph:— "6.0 p.m.—Home news—Money-market firm. Bank rate 10. French Funds risen } per cent. Birmingham Bank to be wound up in Chancery. Much local but no general suf fering. London prices unaffected. Ex-Chief Baron Pollock to be a baronet. Lord Henry Lennox is now Secretary . to the Admiralty.

" Racoon leaves Valentia 10-morrow for Queenstown." This message, which consists of 136 words, was sent through the whole cable without the slightest mistake at the rate of 11 words per minute, the insulation test going on all the time. Distance run to noon to-day 600.2 miles. Cable payed out 682.48. Percentage of slack 13.63. From Heart's Content 1068.8. Lat. a deg. 1 min. N. Long. 26 deg. 37 W. THURSDAY, July 19. . - There was a fresh breeze in the afternoon yesterday, in creasing towards evening. It brought a heavy swell on the port-quarter, which caused the ship to roll. The pay ing out from the after-tank went on steadily. Two of the large buoys were lifted by derrick from the deck, near the bows of the ship, and placed in position on the port and starboard side of the forward pick-up machinery, ready for letting go, if necessary. The bun went down with an angry look, and the scud came rapidly from the eastward, the sea rising. A wind dead aft is not the best for cable laying, particularly if any accident should take place. By 11.30 p.m. to-night we shall have exhausted the contents of the after-tank, and the cable will then be payed out from the fore-tank along the trough to the stern, the distance from the centre of the tank to the paying-out machinery being 494 feet. Last night the swell was very heavy, to which the Great Eastern proved herself not insensible. Her rolling, like everything else appertaining to her, is done on a grand scale. We see the liveliness with which that operation is performed on board the Albany and Medway, and we are not at all disposed to be too critical in our observations on our own movements. The sk:teed of the ship was kept at 4} during the night ; the slower the better is the opinion of all on board.—Festina lente. We are consuming about 100 tons a-day of the 7,000 tons of coal which we had on board when we left Berehaven ; and Mr Beckwith, who has been engineer of the Great Eastern from her first voyage to the present moment, says her engines were never in better order ; and their appear ance and working do him and his able staff of assistant engineers the greatest credit. The news from Valenti; station, as published in the Telegraph, is as follows : " Wednesday, 9 p.m.—English funds risen per cent. Stock Exchange rate for short loans on English Securities, 5 and 7 per cent. General rate for good paper 9 and 9i per cent. " House of Commons, Monday night.—New Ministers took their seats.

N., long. 29.39 Depth of water, FRIDAY, July 20. Yesterday nd still from the east in every respect satisfactory. The w was a day of complete success, the paying out i ward, but inclined to draw to the north, the sea entirely w gone down. As Mr. Canning told us we s hould see the after-tank emptied at 11 o'clock (ship's time) not for collected there about 10 o'clock, by which timee were all the cable was down to the last flake. Next to having daylight changing from the after to the fore tank, we could d have had a more favourable time—clearstarlight, no win and a smooth sea. Looking down into the scene was highly picturesque. The cable watch, whose figures were lighted up by the lamps suspended from above, slowly an d cautiously lifted the turns of the coil to ease their path to the eyo, as each found its way to the drum. The wooden floor of the tank showed itself, and then we saw more floor, and as its area increased the cable swept along its surface with a low subdued noise, until with graceful curve it mounted to the outlet where it was soon to join a fresh supply. And now we hear the word passed that they have arrived at the last turn, and then the men who stand on stages of the platform of the eye with the bight, watch the arrival of the cable and pass it up with tender caution until it reaches the summit, then it rushes down a wooden in cline to meet the spliced rope which had by this time come down along the trough leading to the forward tank. This operation was conducted with great skill by Mr. Canning and his experienced assistants,blessrs. C fford and Temple. At 11 a.m. (Greenwich) the fresh rope was going over the stern, and thescrew engines going ahead at 1.13. A watch of four men is now stationed fore and aft along the trough, which is illuminated by lamps at short distances fromeach other. A lamp with a green light indicates the mile mark as it comes up from the tank, and this signal is repeated until it reaches the stern, where it is recorded by the clerk, who keeps•the cable log in an office adjoining the paying-out machinery. A red lamp indicates danger ; during the day-time red and blue flags are used. All through the night the sea smooth as glass, and this morn ing we saw that a sensible impression had been made on the contents of the fore tank of cable, underneath which is three miles of shore end. The after tank hold 839 miles. The ship begins to lighten at the bows, and by this time to-morrow will come up more as the cable passes out of the tank. At 7.30 a.m. we saw a ship-rigged vessel to the northward steering about E. by S., distance seven or eight miles. The wind shifted to S.W. about daybreak. Terri ble, Albany, and Medway all in position. News comes to the Great Eastern Telegraph as regularly as Mr. Reuter sends it to the London newspapers. Here, is what reached us yesterday : _ " Money well supported at yesterday's improvement. Great Western and South Eastern Railway stock 11. per cent. Money is easy on Stock Exchange.

SATURDAY, July 21. Yesterday was our seventh day of paying out cable, and so far we have been ;more fortunate than the expedition of last year. During the same period in 1865 two faults had occurred—one on the 24th July, the other on the 29th —causing a detention of 56 hours. At 3 p.m. we were half-way, and passed where the Atlantic cable of 1858 parted twice—on the 26th and 28th of June. Sad memories to many ! We feel, however, that every hour is increasing our chance of effecting this great work. " I believe we shall do it this time, Jack," I heard one of our craw say to another last night. " I believe so too, Bill," was the re ply, "and if we don't we desarves to do it, and that's all." It blew very hard from two o'clock yesterday up to 10 p.m., by which time the wind gradually found its way from south-west to north-west, which is right ahead, just what we want for cable-laying. The Terrible and the two other ships plunged into the very heavy sea which the sou'-wester raise, and we made up our minds from what we saw that the Great Eastern is the right ship to be in a gale of wind. During the night heavy showers of rain. This morning the sea is comparatively smooth, and the sky shows welcome patches of bright blue. If all goes well we shall be up to-morrow evening at the :place where last year's cable parted. A couple of days would bring us to shallower water, and then wo may fairly look for our " Heart's Content." Messages come from England with the news, regularly and speedily ; excellent practices for the clerks on shore and on board ship; great comfort to us, and the best evidence to those who will read this journal of the great fact that up to this time the cable is doing its electric work efficiently. Yesterday's Great Eastern Telegraph gave us the following intelligence :—" Prussians crossed river, march near Holitzon, llungary.

The cable touches the water at a distance of about 230. feet from the stern, and the angle it makes is generally 10 to 12. The weather looking fine, but it is variable between long. 30 and 45 deg., even at this time of the year. SUNDAY, July 22. Still success to record. A bright, clear day, with a fresh and invigorating breeze from the north-west. Cable going out with unerring smoothness at the rate of six miles an hour. There has been great improvement in the insula tion. On leaving Sheerness tha resistance of the gutta percha per knot was about 800 million ohmads, as they are scientifically called, or in other words, " units." It is now about 1,900 million units, which shows an increased resist ance of 5,000 millions per knot on the portion already laid. It must be borne in mind that this result has been ob tained by tests made through the whole length of the cable, both that part of it already submerged, end that remaining on board ship; and that this remarkable improvement is attributable to the greatly decreased temperature and pressure on tho cable in the sea. This is a very satisfac tory result to Mr. Willoughby Smith. Signals, too, come ever hour with great distinctness. This morning the breeze freshened. We are now about 30 miles to the southward of the place where the cable parted on the 2d August, 1864, having then payed out 1,213 miles. Captain Anderson read Div* service in the dining saloon. The following telegram arrived, and was published in yesterday evening's edition of the Great Eastern Tele graph. : " London, Saturday, Noon.—The following are to-day's quotations : Atlantic £l,OOO shares Ditto 8 per Cent.

Between 6 and 7 p.m. yesterday we passed over the deepest part of our course. There was no additonal strain on the dynamometer, which indicates from 10 to 14, the cable going out with its accustomed regularity, the wind still fresh from the north-westward. During the night it went round to the south-west, and this morning there is a long roll from the southward. At 11.46 a.m. Mr. Cyrus Field sent a message to Va lentia, requesting Mr. Glass to obtain the latest news from India and China, so that on our arrival at Heart's Content we shall be able to transmit it to the principal cities of the United States. In just eight minutes he had a reply in these words :—" Your message received, and is in London by this." Outside the telegrapli-idom there is a placard put up, on which is posted the neWs shortly after its arrival ; and groups of the crew may be seen 'reading it just as we see a crowd at a newspaper office in London. Mr. Dudley, the artist, has made a very spirited sketch of "Jack" reading the contents of the morning telegraphic news of the Times, Printing House-square being distant in or about 1,600 miles. On board the Great Eastern—ship of luxury—he has been supplied with the latest intelligence from the seat of war twice a day. How he will grumble when he gets ashore. He is not going to pay a pound a word for news, but his newspaper will supply it to him, and he does not know or care what it costs. But what a sum has been spent in Atlantic telegraphs. It cannot now fall short of two millions and a half, or over twelve millions of dollars. More millions will be found if it shall be practi cally proved that America can permanently talk to Eng land, and through her to the Eastern Hemisphere, and Eng land to America by the ocean wire. At a quarter to twelve to-day but 215 miles of cable re mained to be paid out of the fore tank. Towards night wo hope to see it empty—then for a small supply from the main tank, and then but, hopeful though we are, let us not anticipate.

Fog and thick rain; ju3t the weather to expect on ap proaching the banks of Newfoundland. Tho convoy keep their position, and though sometimes the fog hides the ships from our view, yet we know where they are by their signal whistles—two from the terrible, three from the Medway, and four from the Albany—which is replied to by a pro longed single shriek from our whistle. At 1.52 Greenwich time (ship's time 10.45 p.m. last night), th e f ore t an k b e i ng nearly empty, preparations were made for passing the bight of the cable into the main tank. At 2.15 all the jockey wheels of the paying out machinery were up and the breaks released. At 2.23 the bight was passed steadily and cau tiously -by the cable hands outside of the trough to the main tank, and at 2.35 the splice went out over the stern into 1,542.8 fathoms. By arrangement with Sir James Hope, the admiral of the North American station, who has received instructions from the Admiralty to give the pre sent expedition every assistance in his power, a frigate or sloop will be placed in long. 48 deg. 25 min. 52 sec., which is just 30 miles from the entrance to Trinity Bay, and 60 from Heart's Content. She will probably hang on by a kedge in that position, which shows the " fair way" right up the bay, and if it be clear we ought to see her about day break on Friday morning. The fog was very thick this morning, but occasionally lifts. As long as the wind is from the south-west we cannot expect clear-weather. The news of to-day is as follows : "Loudon, 9 a.m.—Riots Tlyde-park renewed last evening. Police attacked with stones and brickbats. Soldiers, horse and foot, called out. Attacks on private property as night approached. Parliament will be immediately asked to gua rantee £4,000,000 for construction of Inter-Colonial Rail way from Halifax.

Though it lifted a little this morn ing at 5 a.m. it still looks like more of it. Captain Anderson signalled to the Albany at 10.15 last night to start at day break and proceed to lat. 43 deg. 25 min., long. 52 deg. 30 min. to discover the station ship and report us at hand. Should she fail to find her, then to try and make the land, and guide us up Trinity Bay. Another signal was sent at 12.30 to the effect that the Terrible and Medway would be sent ahead to meet the Albany and establish a line to lead us in even with a fog. The Albany started at 3.30. At 4.45 (Greenwich time) the cable engineer in charge took one weight off each brake of the paying out machinery. At 7.40 all weights taken off ; the assumed depth being 300 fathoms. The indicated strain on the dynamometer gra dually decreasing. Speed of ship 5 knots. Wind variable from S.W. to N.W., and then N.B. to E. Wo are going to try and pick up the cable of 1865 in 2,500 fathoms, and we mean to succeed too; therefore, should the cable we are now paying out part it can be understood how easy it would be to raise it from a depth of 300 fathoms. At 8.55 we signalled to the Terrible to sound,:and received a reply —l6O fathoms. At 11.30 we informed her that when at the buoy off Heart's Content she should have her paddle box boat and two cutters ready to be alongside immediately for holding the bight of the cable duaing the splice and laying the shore end. The Medway was told at the same time to prepare two five-inch ropes and two large mush room anchors, with fifty fathoms chain for anchoring dur ing splice in 170 fathoms water,' and we intimated to her that when inside Trinity Bay we should signal for two boats to take hands on board her for shore end.

Shortly after 2 p.m. yesterday two ships, which were soon made out to be steamers, were seen to the westward, and the Terrible steaming on ahead, in about an hour sig nalled to us that H.M.S. Niger was one of them, accompa nied by the Albany. The Niger, Capt. Bruce, sent a boat to the Terrible as soon as he came up with her. The Albany shortly afterwards took up her position on our star board quarter, and signalled that she spoke the Niger at noon, bearing E. by N., and that the Lily was anchored at the station, at the entrance of Trinity Bay, as arranged with the admiral. The Albany also reported that she had passed an iceberg in lat. 41 dg. 31 min., long. 52 deg. 10 min. about 601 t. high. At 20 after 4 p.m. the Niger came on our port side, quite close ; and Capt. Bruce sending the crew to the rigging and manning the yards, gave us three cheers, which were heartily returned by the Great Eastern. She then steamed ahead towards Trinity Bay. The Albany was signalled to go o! . . immediately to Heart's Cont en t, c l ear the N.E. side of the harbour of shipping and place a boat with a red flag for Captain Anderson to steer for anchor age. Just before dinner we saw on the southern horizon, distant about ten miles, an iceberg, probably the one which the Albany met with. It was apparently about 50 or 60 feet in height. The fog came on very thick about 8 p.m., and about that and ten we were con stantly exchanging guns and burning bluelights with the Terrible, who, with the Niger, went in search of the Lily station ship. The Terrible having been signalled to come up and take her position, informed us that they had made the Lily out, and that she bore them about E.N.E., distant four miles. Later in the night Captain Commerell said that if Capt. Anderson would stop the Great Eastern, he would send the surveyor, Mr. Robinson, R.N., who came out in the Niger, on board of us ; and about three the engines were slowed, and the Terrible, but very shortly afterwards, came alongside with that officer. Catalina Light, at the entrance of Trinity Bay, had been made out three hours before this, and the loom of the coast had also been seen. Fog still prevailing ! According to Mr. Robin son's account, if they get one clear day in seven at the en trance of the bay they consider themselves fortunate. Here we are now (6 a.m.) within ten miles of Heart's Content, and we can scarcely see more than a ship's length. The Niger, however, is ahead, and her repeated guns tell us where we are with accuracy. Good fortune follows us, and scarcely has 1 o'clook arrived when the massive curtain of fog raises itself gradually from both shores of Trinity Bay, i disclosing to us the entran c e o f H ear t' s C on t en t , th e Albany making for the harbour, the Margaretta Steven son, surveying vessel, steaming out to meet us, the pre arranged pathway all marked with buoys by Mr. J. H. Kerr, R.N., and a whole fleet of fishing boats fishing at the entrance. We could now plainly see that Heart's Content, so far as its capabilities permitted, was prepared to w,l - us. The British and American flags floated from the church and telegraph station and other buildings. We had dressed ship, fired a salute, and given three cheers ; and Capt. Commerell, of H.M.S. Terrible, was soon on board to congratulate us on our success. At 9 o'clock, ship's time, just as we had cut tho cable and made arrangements for the Medway to lay , the shore-end, a message arrived giving us the concluding words of a leader in the Times. "Itis a great work, a glory to our age and nation ; and the men who have achieved it deserve to be honoured among the benefactors of their raco." " Treaty of peace signed be tween Prussia and Austria." It was now time for the chief engineer, Mr. Canning, to make the necessary preparations for splicing on board the Medway. Accompanied by Mr. Gooch, M.P., Mr. Clifford, Mr. Willoughby Smith, Messrs. Temple, and Mr. Deane, he went on board, the Terrible and Niger having sent their paddle-box boats and cutters to assist. Shortly afterwards the Great Eastern steamed into the harbour and anchored on the N.E. side, and was quickly surrounded by boats laden with visitors. Mr. Cyrus Field had come on shore before the Great Eastern had left the offing, with a view of telegraphing to St. John's to hire a vessel to repair the cable unhappily broken between Cape Ray in Newfoun B land, and Cape North, in Breton Island Before a couple of hours the shore end will be landed, and it is impossible to conceive a finer day for effecting this ourfinal operation. Even here people can scarcely realise the fact that the Atlantic Telegraph Cable has been laid. To-morrow, however, Heart's Content will awaken to the fact that it is a highly favoured place in the world's esteem, the western landing place of that marvel of electric communication with the eastern hemisphere which is now happily, and we hope finally, established. "Seems it not a feat sublime, Intellect hath conquered time." Miscellaneous American News. 0 We have full accounts of the late riots at New Orleans. It appears that a meeting ratifying the Democratic nomination of Delegates to the Phila delphia Convention had been held in Lafayette square, and had passed off well. This was followed by a meeting to elect delegates from unrepresented parishes to the Constitutional Convention, which was :opposed by the Mayor and supported by the Freedmen. Governor Welles forwarded the pro clamation from his plantation on Red River to his private secretary, but the Secretary of State refused to sign it and affix the State seal. In a court of the Conventioners it was decided that the signa ture was not necessary—a case in the Supreme Court being cited as proving this, and the private secretary was prevailed on to send the proclamation to the press. The appearance of the document created intense excitement, as the object of the Convention was well known—to disfranchise ex rebels and enfranchise the freedmen. The hall of the House of Representatives was crowded mainly with freedmen, while, on the stand, was seated ex- Governor llahn, as presiding officer, P. King But ler, and other prominent loyalists, besides several leading citizens. Strong sentiments were uttered, and the enthusiasm of the audience was unbounded. A torch-light procession of blacks followed the meeting with martial music, and paraded the streets during the night. The Convention, after adjourn ing to call in absentees, met at 1.30 p.m. on July 30th, twenty-six members being present. A pro cession of negroes, with flags flying and drums beating, were attacked while marching to wards the Mechanics' Institute, where the Convention sat, which commenced the riot. The negroes appear to have taken re fuge in the hall of Convention, which was sur rounded by the police and the white population. Several members of the Convention were arrested by the police. Dr. A. P. Destie was killed, and Frederick Shaw and John Henderson, junior, were badly wounded. The telegraph reports state that those inside the building seeing themselves closely besieged hung out a flag of truce, whereupon the police entered to protect the members of the Con vention, but on entering the hall an indiscriminate fire was openedupon them. This was the signal for those outside to fire on the building. The Mayor, J. T. Munroe, issued a proclamation directing citizens, who were desirous to maintain peace, to appear at the City Hall and be sworn in as extra policemen. General Baird despatched the troops to the scene of disturbance. Crowds on the different thorough fares near the Convention building were dispersed at the point of the bayonet, and artillery planted within sweeping range. Martial law was proclaimed, and Major-General A. V. Kautz was appointed military governor of the city, with his head-quarters in the City Hall ; all civil authorities were directed to report at once to the General, and to receive their instructions from him. Of the 26 delegates who assembled in the Mechanics' Hall one-third are said to have been killed, and the other two thirds more or less wounded. Ex-Governor Hahn was shot in the back while being removed under arrest from the building. Those who attempted to escape were killed, and every member who fell into the hands of the rioters was beaten to death. Of course the unfortunate negroes came in fur the lion's share of murder and ill-usage. The 26 Conven tioners who assembled in the face of such a mob as that of New Orleans, backed by the police and city authorities, must have been men of no ordinary nerves, and they paid a terrible penalty for their rashness. This city, on which General Butler set his heel, has taken its revenge on a few brave, if ill advised men, and a crowd of unarmed• negroes ; and if any circumstance was required to justify General Butler's action while commanding in the city, this brutal massacre will do so. Forty-one persons were killed, and 160 wounded. Judge Abel has charged the grand jury to indict all persons engaged in the riot. The prisoners released by the military have been again arrested, and a military commission is sitting recording evidence on the subject. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW Yonx, Saturday, August 4. Money continues abundant, and cheap on call, and stock houses are fully supplied at 4 to 5 per cent. There is little change in the rates for commercial paper. Pow first-class bills offering ; they are readily taken at low rates. IV° learn from Boston that money is in excess of the demand, the banks freely lending on call from 5 to 6 per cent., and discounting good business paper for their custo mers at the same rate. Still large balances are lying idle for want of employment. Trade so stimulated is active, and a cheerful feeling prevails. Money is also abundant at Chicago, and the demand is very light at 10 per cent. Government gold-bearing stocks are steady, but 5-20's of 1862 rose f. Less is doing in State and railway bonds, except Ohio and Mississippi Certificates, iu which a large business has been done at 29 to 30. The general share market is unsettled, and, as a whole, lower—a number of operations for an advance having closed at yesterday's quotations. Still the market has a firm appearance, and is considered to have an upward ten dency. The Atlantic Telegraph unsettles prices, as people sus pect operators to be acting on p►ivate messages. The public have not yet got used to its quick and reliable in formation. The Chicago and North-Western Company have nearly completed a negotiation that will give them about two millions of dollars of additional rolling stock to be paid for gradually in cash, which is a new move on the part of rail road men, and a much better policy than issuing of bonds at a large discount. The friends of the road claim that this addition to their facilities will run the earnings of the Fall to a million and a quarter a month. The agent sent out to California last - March by the directors of the Mariposa Company returned by the last steamer. The report is known to be favourable. In his opinion there are at least one hundred thousand tuns of tailings on the grant, which will yield over $l5 per tun at an expense of not more than $3 per tun for working, which would give a net profit of one million dollars in gold.

P. Morton and Co's. Circular.) NEW Yonx, Aug. 4. Per Steamer " Fulton."—We have to note a continuance of the extreme ease iu monetary affairs alluded to in our late advices. The banks are employing their large balances chiefly in demand loans, at 4 to 5 per cent. ; the trans actions in discounts being nominal , and ranging at sto 63- per cent. The general business of the country is quiet; but, with the prospect of an abundant harvest, and a liberal demand for goods from the Southern States, hopes are entertained that the Autumn trade will prove satisfactory. The plethora of unemployed funds sustains the activity of speculation in securities noted in our last. Railroad Stocks have been very active, and are generally higher than last week. Erie has been in speculative demand, and has advanced to 691.; but the price subsequently reacted, and closed at 69. Illinois Central, in connection with speculative purchases, has advanced from 120, our latest quotation, to 124, and closes at 122 k to 123. Five-Twenties of 1882 have been firmer in sympathy with higher quotations at London. Quotations for bonds have been received almost daily. by Atlantic Telegraph, rho effect of which has been to adjust prices here with those of London. Important purchases have been made for ship ment to Europe. The quotations for Five-Twenties have fluctuated between 107+ and 1081, and close at 1081. State Stocks have been rather more active, but without material fluctuations in value. The closing quotations are as follows : Tennessee 6s, 1890, 92 to 93 ; North Carolina Os, 84+; Virginia Os, 64 ; Missouri 6s, 79j. The gold premium has shown a steady downward ten dency ; which, however, has been counteracted by combi nations to make Gold scarce. The price has ranged at 147 to 1501 and closes at 148. Exchange has still further declined, under an increased supply of bills and a continued indisposition on the part of importers to remit, with Gold at its present high premium. Bankers' 60 days Sterling bills close at 1074 to 1074 ; Sigh t do., 1084 to 1081; Francs, long date, 5.22+ to 5.20 ; Sight do., 5.184. Cotton has been firmer, under the improvement in the Liverpool Market, the prospects of peace in Germany, and the increase of shipments. The receipts at all the ports, reported during the week ending July 31st, amounted to 5,000 bales, and the exports to 8,000 bales. The price for Mid. Uplands has ranged during the week at 36 to 39 cents, and closes at 36 to 37 cents. The prospect of the growing crop, we think, has im proved within the past thirty days. From an actual in spection of the growth, and a personal investigation of the condition of labour, we incline to the belief that two mil lions of bales may be made. COTTON QUOTATIONS. Uplands.

Per " Africa" our usual weekly advices, from New York to the 31st ult., report continued ease in the money market, the rate for advances on Government securities ruling at from three to four per cent., and for loans at call five per cent. The dulness which usually characterises the Stock market at this period of the year was even more marked than usual, but prices were well maintained for both Go vernment stock and Railroad securities ; in the latter there was a disposition exhibited to advance quotations on the prospect of an abundant harvest throwing large in creased traffics on all the lines, especially those between the West and the sea ports. In Railroad Mortgages and State Bonds the transactions were very limited. We have again to report a heavy amount of business in the London market for American securities. The large importations of United States 5-20 Bonds have had a de pressing effect, and the closing quotation, 68 to f, shows a slight decline from last week.
