THZ ATLANTIC TZLEGRAPH.

(nom ODE BPLCIAL comerospiar.)
DUD/a Mort.

It is more than ever probable that the Greet
Eastern will be de:patched to fish up the severed
alibi's, as soon as she can be re-fitted with etronger
ropes and grapnels, and such other necessaries as
she may require. The directors of the Telegraph
Construction Company are still most sanguine of
sumass, and there is little doubt that such arrange-
ments
will be made with the Atlantic Company as
will cause the work of recovery to be set about at
once. Of course until after the several board
meetings on Monday no formal decision can be
ai.ived at, but it seems tolerably certain that the
expedition will be re-started at once, and that the
Great Eastern will again leave Sheerness for
Newfoundland in a few weeks from this date.
It has been assumed, and some surprise has
been expressed in consequence, that the fault in
the cable was not discovered until after six miles
beyond it were paid out. This assumption is
erroneous. The defective insulation was pro.
bably found out at the vet; time of its occurrence,
perhaps at the very moment that the faulty bit was
submerged. But it must be remembered that the
taste which were perpetually carried on were made
through the entire length of the cable, and that
after the fault was discovered the task of localising
it would begin. The exquisitely delicate inani-
mate would be first brought into play, to ascertain
whether the flaw was in the cable still on the ship,
or in the part paid out. Then by degrees the tests
would become cloeer and closer, until by aid of the
galvanometer and the resistance coils the electri-
cians pointed out its precise spot. But these se-
veral operations would occupy nearly an hour,
during which, as is presumed, the cable was still
slowly passing over the stern, so that by the time
the precise whereabouts of the defect was known,
it was the distanoe from the ship previously named.
