THE
ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION.

(raw Oa. 1111CIAL

vAimmAt. WIDNISDAY, JULY al, 7.30 A.ll.
At 4.30 yesterday, "All right, resume paying
sot signals," was resolved from the big ship,
and up to this time all has gone smoothly
and well. The weather continues most auepi-
°hitt*, the Great Eastern is MO miles from
shore, and is lightening every hoar, so that even in
the event of rough weather—the one thing likely
to-have interfered with the successful laying of the
cable—there is no reason to suppose she would now
suffer inconvenience, or that her great work would
be suspended.
The deep trench containing the part of the shore
end which is on the land is already covered in.
Huge boulders have been rolled over the coast part,
so u to make its wares uodistinguishable from the
rest of the little bay, while the precipitous cliff up
which it is passed, and the opening leading to the
reeeiving-house have been walled or earthed up by
retays of peasants, whose friends, relations, and ad-
mirers have encouraged and assisted them to the
extent of looking on. The gags and festal banners
here disappeared, the hut belonging to the com-
pany is being gradually assimilated to • business
eslablishmeut in a more populous region, and the
doubts and fears of Monday night are already for-
gotten in the success of the subsequent hours. The
bad wire between Foilhommerum Bay, a:ong
which all American messages will have to be trans-
snistsfi "afar f h Astlsbastio rotislo is laid, is st present
a single one, but the receivers on its poets are
already fixed for a second line, which will be put up
with all possible speed. The events of the last few
days show this to be imperatively necessary. For
hours after the shore end was laid on Satin-
ds,y telegraphic communication with London,
and indeed with any other place, was ren-
dered impossible, and as the same defect occurred
yesterday, it is high time a supplementary wire was
laid down. It has been onfortnuate that these embar-
rassing stoppages have taken place at the very times
when the telegraph would have been most useful,
and that, had they been due to malice aforethought
instead of sheer accident, they could not have
occasioned more annoying inconvenience, or more
Inopportune delay.
After all the pains taken by the Telegraph Con-
struction directors to exclude representatives of the
puss from the Great Eastern during her voyage
from Valenti& to Newfoundland, they narrow)),
escaped carrying out one unwittingly. At the
eliventh hour it was heard in London that one of
the subordinate electricians, who had been sent on
board as assistant to a gentleman acting for the
Atlantic Company, was not merely the special
correspondent of a daily contemporary, but
bed engaged to supply two weekly journals,
the one with pictorial the other with descrip-
tiie matter. This startling news was telegraphed
by the secretary of the company to Mr. Glass, who
seat out a letter by the Hawk, on Sunday, with
orders to Captain Anderson that the correspondent
in• question should be sent back. These were air-
itlyzi out with such promptitude that there was no
time for packing, and despite argument and expos-
tulation, this luckless writer was put on board one
of•the last hosts leaving the big ship for the Hawk,
wide his bag and baggage have been carried on to
America.

Besides Captain Hamilton, who stays here on
behalf of the Atlantic Company until the line is
open to Newfoundland, Lord John Hay, Mr. Glass,
and Mr. Barclay, all directors of the Construction
Company, are still at Valentia. Mr. Glees also re-
in/ins until the cable is laid. Up to the time of
closing this letter the Hawk has not returned, so
that everyone is still in tho dark as to the nature
of the temporary disaster to the cable which
caused for the time so much consterna-
tion and dismay. It is quite practicable,
but very undesirable, to send messages to
or from the big ship, save in cases of absolute
necessity. A regular system of signalling has been
agreed upon, by which at every fifty miles on her
voyage, and at every fifty miles of cable paid out,
the Great Eastern is to announce her position, and
give au assurance that all goes well. To say any-
thing beyond this involves a transfer of instruments
and a consequent loss of time, and, as will be
readily seen, it is of infinitely more importance to
ensure esteems by taking full advantage of the pre-
sent lovely weather than to answer or to ask ques-
tions as to any difficulties which may have beset the
expedition, or to inquire into the mode by which
they have been overcome.

Our Liverpool oorreepondent, writing yesterday,
sops The latest reports reoeived from the Greet &Urn
to-day continue to be eminently satisbotory ; and as the
steamer becomes gradually lighter, owing to her cosiump-
kices nf cool and the paying out of the cable, she is able to
wee her peddles with comparative eau and decided effect,
foe the screw is of coarse useless, owing to the fact that
the sable has to be paid out over the stern. The calmness
of She sea was this morning disturbed by *arena squalls,
which made • nasty tsuubliog sea, causing come slight
dinsieutioo is the spud at which the cable was being paid
out. Fortunately the steering of the ' big ship* becomes
easier as she gets lighter amidships, and she is now much
more manageable in bad weather than wheat she
started from the Hors. At 9.50 a.m. today the
Greet Rioters wen 300 miles from the place
where the shore end was spliced to the main cable, mid
as 'one of the chief features in laying the cable this time
is the curtailment of apes., it is feared here that, in spite of
all.antiaipatioes to the contrary, there will be a °onside-
rolls leer* of alibis required when the Great Easters
reaches Hope Harbour, her destination ow the other side
of theAtJantic. Although the Great Easters was 300 miles oat
at sea at 9.50 a.m. to-day, she had paid oat 300 miles of
the cable at 5.50 son. The Insulation throughout was
perfect. and it is hoped that in a few days the sable will
be wifely kept more • taut,' with a very much smaller
allowasee of ' "

THE CUP DAY.
FaPaled) regarded ea the lad pest moaner racing fete
of the memo, and pre-eminently distiagaished by its &Ursa-
tiona, the Capp Ibiy has this year been celebrated with all
its usual ear sod effeetiveasss. People an so im-
pressed with the future that they ere meastomed to look
with • cold eye on, or depredate, the pest, and by this
ressooing turf reporters are in the habit of describing each
suomeive Goodwood nisolles se the most brilliant on
on record ; sill then ma be no gaieties that the grand day,
es celebrated this year, his never been surpasseed
is the annals of the damil gathering. The weather
was magnificent, and if the air we somewhat oppressive,
the Italian sky and the vast extent of wooded landscape
▪ undulag mud:7 lit up into such beauty, enli-
vened the somewhat jaded muse. The "ladies' day "
brought out a charming display of the high-bred daughters
of England in all that luxury of dress which distinguishes
the modern feminine Mew The Brighton platform in the
morning was • perfect promenade of each fashion se is
usually associated with a horticultural "show "at Chis-
wick:and from an evly hoar heavily laden trains from
the metropolis reached Drayton sod Chichester.
At these places of debarkation the scene was
swat animated, the flys, omnibuses, and tr
being speedily filled with visitors to the
Clouds of dad were raised by the peat traffic throng the
lanes, end we would sanest that In fatale some officer for
the preventios of cruelty to animals be stationed at the
eassate, where the gipsy drivers to-day isflieted shameful
cruelties on the miserable "begs of boom" which they de-
nominated "leaden." Few can tell how hard it is to
climb these hills under • broiling sun, and it must detract
from the pleasure of refined people to witness the barbari-
ties inflicted on the hail-starved animals, whose only
food is an occasional nibble on • roadside 00113111011.

It was generally earned that the etteadanoe et company
wea immense ; the rule wee crammed, and the roar of
speculation incoment. The " Ladies' Lawn" presented a
most eirdng appearanoe, to which no pen could do justice,
end the "court newsman " alone world venture on any
description of the toilettes. The Prince and Princess of
Wales, it was imticieet.A, would bat that.
royal highnesses, not having completed their tour in the
west of England, were absent. The card promoted the
formidable array of e/eveu nom, bet on dissection it was
evident most of the flelde would be very small. The sport
commenced at Itelf-past cove with • swestakes foe two-year
old fillies over the T.Y.C.. the three' 'coloured " going to
the post. Valeria, although currying 51bs penalty, was
greatly fancied from the easy manner in which she won
over this course on Tuesday, sad odds of 9 to 4 were heaped
on Lord Stamfoed's filly ; but after lying well is front till
within a couple of hundred yards of the chair, the wee
paned by Ischia who woe in a centerby six lengths. Archi-

with the gentlemen, who laid the odds of 2 to 1, to very
large amounts, oa him, and Lord Stamford's coil justified
the isoonclin3ll of hie backers by matt,' down hie oppoomits,
Locgdown and Pantaloon, and winning in • canter by a length

on the card were sent to the post, vie., Student, Vespaaian,
and Redas, each penalised 5 lbs for previous victories, hat

placing this valuable stake to Mr. Merry. amount. The
Goodwood Cup wee set for three o'clock, and at • few
infanta peat that hour nine of the fourteen numbers of
the card ware hoisted on the telegraph board. The ab
mantas were Blackdown, Moose, Surrey, Archimedes, and
Wild Charley, the letter scratched about an hoar before
the start. After the preliminary canter, the competitors
walking in Indian file were conducted by Mr. M'George up
the course, the whole length of the Mind and lawn, and
back to the starting post, to enable the occupant.' of the
enclosure to inspect them. A mageifieent start wee
followed by the usual cry of "They're off," and re
they wait peat the stand the first time, every
oar watched their particular fancy with great anxiety,
and the' common impression apparently was that Eltham
did not move with that freedom expected from bhn, and
that his action was short, or "scratchy," while Ely, about
whose starting reports had coostantly circulated in the
ring, was the very picture of condition, and befog en
lm-
mensely popular favourite, was the most admired, and he
woe like • thoroughly great horse, having everything safe
coming down the hill, and winning ie • canter by two
lengths from Cembeiseen. General Peel never showed in
the race, and for the future public faith in his prowess will be
utterly destroyed. Lord Glasgow has been most unfortunate
with him, and the grand Loeb of "the General" seemed, like
the voice of the sires, to lead hie backers into continual
distress. Privateer ran into • "situation," thus following op
the improved form he his lately displayed. When the
victor of the Ascot and Goodwood cups returned to weigh
in—owner, trainer, and jockey, were eothoriaaticelly
cheered, which was renewed when the certifying ultimatum
" All right" was ponounced by the cleric of the melee
Immediately after the &Maim of the Cup, the company
began to disperse ; the remainder of the racing being inte-
resting only to speculators and owners. The Chichester
Stakes was o tremendous blow to the backers. as Bell of
the Hall was scarcely mentiosed, aed was only backed by
those who follow the fortunate Jemmy Grimshaw. The
racing, with remaining sweets of the day, will be found amply
detailed below.
