Arrnovou the precise cave of the catastrophe is
still a mystery, there remains bat faint hope that
the fate of the Atlantic Cable is not already decided.
Four days have elapsed since the signals ceased to
evoke any return, and those received at Valentia
became unintelligible. This was at noon on Wed-
nesday. Soon after the signals ceased altogether.
We have learned from Professor AIRY that this
event was simultaneous with the commencement
of a " magnetic storm " or period of violently dis-
turbed electric and magnetic conditions of the
earth, which was strong enough to derange and
confuse our telegraph lines on land. It was there-
fore hoped for a time that the same cause might
account for the interruption in our intelligence from
the Great Eastern, and th►t it might be that the
huge ship was still ploughing her way through the
ocean, depositing with regular precision the cable
which she unwound as she advanced. Ball
the magnetic storm subsided on Friday foremoone
and the tests then applied to the cable proved
that by that time there was • total loss of insu-
lation. This is an ascertained fact, not affected
by the circumstance that, as Professor AIRY and
Mr. GIAISHER tell us, the storm soon recom-
menced. Now, it must be kept in mind that such
• result could only arise from the win+ being ex-
posed to the water. The cable must have either
broken in the water, or the wire must have been
scraped till exposed below water, or one end must
have been hung over the vessel's aide into the
water. We may probably dismiss the latter sup-
position from our minds, as it could only arise in
the event of some accident on board the ship
which would derange the progress of the adventure
almost as seriously as a fracture. Between the two
other suppositions there is at present room only for
mere conjecture. The cable may, in the depths
of the ocean, have had the misfortune to rest upon
some sharp knife edge of rock, which slowly but
surely cut the outer coverings. There may have been
an accident in the machinery which caused unseen
abrasion and ultimate penetration. Or, as in the
CllllB of the first cable, the true reason of the ,
destruction may be for ever inscrutable, one of
those secrets of the deep which will remain hidden
till the end comes which will make all 'scrota
known. But ii it is permissible to guess at all,
we can scarcely help adverting to the very re-
markable coincidence between the commencement
of the magnetic storm and the cessation of tl•e
continuity of the current. The effect of that
storm would be as apparent to the operators in the
Great Eastern as to thaw at Valenti'. But it
may be that, isolated as they were, they could not
account for it as we, with our network of land
telegraphs, were able to do. They did, we learn,
attempt at first to overcome it, by using • mote
powerful bsttory. Ilut knowing nothing more
than that the cable gave incompret4nlible signals,
it is possible that they believed the fault lay in it,
that they hove to, or attempted to draw in what
they had already paid out, and that on this strain
being put upon it the cable gave way. Or, it is
just possible that on finding the signals unintelli-
gible they cut the cable, and buoyed the end, to
await an investigation into the cause of what would
seem a mischance. Such is a possible solution of
the mystery, agreeing with the dates so far as we
know them ; but whether it is the true one it
would be certainly in the highest degree rash to
undertake to affirm. All that we can for the pre-
sent say positively is, that the sole chance yet sur-
viving is that the accident may have not arisen
from a break, but only from a less serious cause,
and that it may be possible yet to recover the da-
maged part from the tremendous depth to which it
has descended. But we need not say how very
small is the probability that among the variety of
possible contingencies this solitary event, which
leaves a ray of hope, may be the true explana-
tion of the long-continued silence.
So, not yet despairing utterly, but prepared at
all events to hear the worst, we must now await
the return of the vessel that sailed with such eager
hopes and confident anticipations. At least we
shall have the consolations that belong to a great
enterprise frustrated by causes that no prevision
of human art could foresee. It was a great and
worthy object for which we spent and risked so
much, no less than to add something to the span
of existence by obviating a useless loss of time in
communication between nation and nation, trader
and customer, friend and friend. Had we suc-
ceeded, we should have substituted, in some of
the most important of the transactions of life,
certainty for guess work, and we should have
united the two ruling families of the earth as closely
as if they had remained side by side in the older con-
tinent that was the birthplace of their common stock.
And we should have done this by means which,
even while we daily, on a smaller scale, use them for
our ordinary purposes of life, can never seem leas
to us than a miracle. To evoke from the rude
metals that the earth's dark recesses breed, the
lightning that flashes across the skies—to subdue
this fiery meteor so absolutely to our will that its
terrific strength and instantaneous passage become

PABL.9, HATUIDAI EVIntINU.
The Marquis de Lavalette's circular on the result
of the municipal elections is well spoken of by all
the journals without exception. The ileatir Na-
tions/ says :—" The language used by the minister
is moderate and appropriate, just the reverse of
that of the Conatitutionnel" M. E. de Girardin
says in the Presse that the circular is a " preface,"
because a country in which such perfect order pre-
vails as that described by the Marquis de Lavalette
must certainly be ripe for all those liberties—
liberty of the press, liberty of public meeting, and
liberty of association—the possession of which by
England, Belgium, Holland, Italy, and Switzerland
excites the envy of France.
