TEE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The papers publish.the opinionscf a number of qualified
gentlemen on the propriety of making another effort this
year to lay down the cable. The aommanding efficers of
the I,Lips that formed the Lel graph squadrrn say positively
that there is no nautical or phys.cal ohatacle in the way of
the enterpriFe, and that the cable already ad)pted by the
company Will entirely answer the purpose. The engineer
and sub-engineer of the company, speaking of the cable,
say 142e(it ie an well suited for deep water-that they can-
not reccmmend any change whatever. Professors Morse
and Thompson, and Mr. Whitehouse, report that every
experiment ride with the cable, and every test to which it
has been submitted, demonstrates its perfect adaptability.
In additi the company has reeeiyed a somewhat flatter-
ing letter from the commanderg of the American thips
engaged in the seer ice, showing how much cordiality azists
between the English and American fignadrOn.
