LONDON. MONDAY. AUGUST 21.

Tin latest news from the Great Eastern, and the
hopes of the people directly interested in the suc-
cess of the Atlantic Cable, may be briefly sum-
marised. The great ship is proved to be, by her won-
derful steadiness at sea, eminently adapted for
cable-laying ; but it is obvious that she needs
careful over-hauling and efficient repair. In her
present condition it would be as imprudent to let
her brave the Atlantic winter gales with such a
cargo as she carried the other day from Sheerness,
as it would be safe and easy to do so if she were
in proper trim. The present arrangement of
tanks and coils must be improved, for it is impe-
rative that her proper complement of boilers should
be supplied, and at present two of these have been
taken out to make way for the cable.
Strengthened as Mr. PATERA'S' recommends,
and appointed as Captain AnDnasox advises, the
great ship will, it may be fairly hoped, do great
work yet, and is, not improbably, destined to a
long career of usefulness in the special service for
which her size and capabilities so eminently fit
her. The interests of the Great Eastern Steam-
ship Company, the Atlantic Telegraph Company,
and the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance
Company, are at this juncture so closely identified,
that the three Boards meeting to-day will pro-
bably have little difficulty in making arrangements
for the common benefit. The natural wishes for
the immediate resumption of the enterprise can-
not, in the face of Saturday's intelligence, and of
the judgment of the responsible executive officers,
be gratified. So long as it was a mere question
of ropes and grapnels, those interested had a right
to count upon the prompt return of the ship to
the Atlantic ; but, after the suggestions and the
information which will be officially laid before
them this morning, it is impossible to suppose
that they will hurry on her departure. The
delay of a few months is of infinitely less im-
portance than the risk of another failure, and the
attempt at picking up may well be deferred, pro-
viding the time be spent in 'enuring victory by
carefully guarding against defeat. It is greatly to
be regretted that vagne suspicions of foul plsyshould
have arisen during the recent voyage, and we can-
not but think that it will be more useful to devote
time and thought to devising means for speedily
remedying faults, than to indulge in irritating
speculations upon their origin. Whether, under
existing circumstances, and in the face of
present failure, it will be wise to think of
making and carrying out another cable, at the
same time as it is sought to pick up the one now
lying in the Atlantic, is a problem, the bare men-
tion of which will be startling to many. Yet the
arguments in its favour have some cogency and
force, and it is noteworthy that they have the sup-
port of the practical men, both nautical and scien-
tific, who accompanied the Great Eastern on her
last voyage. With the reports of Mr. C LNNINO
and Captain ANDERSON before them, supplemented
as they will be by the testimony of other authori-
ties rn board, it would not be surprising if
the Companies meeting to-day, while deciding to
have the Great Eastern thoroughly fitted out for •
new departure next May, were to courageously
supplement that decision with • rider to the
effect that constructing a second cable would be •
judicious and, in the end, an economic way of
triumphing over present difficulties.

THE American newspapers bring us accounts of
a new public work which is shortly to connect the
territory of the United States with Canada, and
which, it is said, will be worthy to rank with the
greatest monument of engineering skill with which
the enterprise of two continents his endowed
either country. This is the International Bridge
which is to cross the head of the Niagara River
from Fort Erie, in Western Canada, to Buffalo,
in the State of New York, obviating the use of the
dangerous ferry which at present receives the
traffic of the two Canadian lines of railway termi-
nating at Fort Erie. When the bridge is finished
a perfect connexion will be established be-
tween the Buffalo and Lake Huron section of
the Grand Trunk Railway and the Erie
and Niagara Railway on the Canadian aide,
and the Atlantic and Great Western, the
Erie, the New York Central, and the Lake Shore
Railways on the American side of the river. The
International Bridge is to be a massive structure
of stone and iron, of imposing grandeur, and with
two storeys to serve the purposes respectively of
the railway and ordinary traffic. A notion of its
utility may be gathered from the fact that two
railway companies have engaged that the tolls
payable on the through traffic which they
will pass over the bridge shall not be
less than Io,ooof. sterling per annum. The
necessary contracts for its construction have
lately been signed in England, and it is
to be completed and ready for opening within the
term of two years. One project of this nature,
bringing prominently into view the advantages
common to all enterprises of the clans, begets
others, and accordingly we hear of proposals to
build international bridges connecting Sarnia
with Port Huron, Morrisberg with Waddington,
and Windsor with Detroit.
There is nothing very extraordinary in these
who live on opposite shores of the same river,
each having commodities to exchange for which
the other has a use, desiring the material mese
of fuller and freer communication with each
other. But it is most extraordinary that
