- On Monday a cable of 14i inches was made in tin
dock-yard from New Zealand hemp, tinder the superin•
tendency of Captain Harris, C. 8., M. P., of the Royal
Navy. Contrary to the old practice of applying vegetabh
tar to the yarn, used in the manuracture of cables, Captain
Harris applied, nn this occasion, a solution of camitchui
(Indian rubber) to prevent the water from penetrating thi
hemp. This latter operation, from its being performed
by the hand, causes the solution to he partially applied,
which inust:;in some measure neutralize the advantage-
which might otherwise be derived from its application.—
The very excellent contrivance of Mr. Parsons, the
Master Rope-maker of this Dock-yard, of passing the
yawl of yarn between cylinders, would materially a•sist is
equalizing the proportions of Capt. Harris's solution, and
temd to give it a more general and uniform eflet. With a
view of ascertaining the comparative strength of New Z,a-
land and Russian hemp, 10i fathoms of a 14f inch
cable have been made from the former, to be tried against
the same length of cable, of the same size, made from the
latter, We shall report the result of this experiment in
due time. The above is the first cable that has ever been
made in this dock-yard froth colonial produce.
