LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 31, 1865.

After the alarm and anxiety caused by the tem
porary delay which an apparently trifling accident
occasioned to the progress of the Atlantic cable
during last week, the public heard with great satis-
faction and relief that the difficulty had been
localised, and that all was right again. Scarcely,
however, had rejoicing and confidence taken the
place of fear and despondency when a fresh alarm
was given, and on Saturday afternoon a total failure
in the communications was announced. The first
break down was partial and uncertain in its nature.
The second, of which the cause was totally unknown
on shore, was more startling, for the loss of insula-
tion was total. We can easily imagine the disap-
pointment and consternation at Valentia when this
fact became known, for all over England there was
a very strong feeling of regret, independently of all
monetary or speculative interests. The enterprise
is of such a stupendous character, it is so vast in its
nature, so difficult and delicate to carry out, and so
important in its results and objects, that every in-
telligent man follows its progress with the keenest,
interest, and hopes most iiincerely for its successful
accomplishment. I lappily as yet there is every reason
to anticipate a final triumph. The undertaking was
known from the first to be full of difficulty. It did
not require the experience of the former failure to
convince any one that there were a hundred un-
known chances against laying a cable down under
water that was to be measured, not by fathoms, but
by miles. Who would count the turns and hollows
of its bed, or what eye could penetrate through that
waste of waters to reckon the dangers to which the
thread that was to unite two peoples would be ex-
posed ? Yet all these obstacles have been sur-
mounted by skill and perseverance directed by
science, and a very tolerable estimate has been
formed of the submarine route of the cable. It has
been found by careful examination and soundings
that the greater dangers to which it is exposed
exist near shore, and that when once it is safely laid
. in the deep sea there is less reason for apprehension
than at the outset. This is doubly satisfactory to
remember, because the great Eastern has now got
so far upon her way that the preliminary dangers
may be fairly considered to be over. Even this
last alarm has proved to be of a very temporary
character, since it was on Saturday afternoon that
the bulletin announcing the total loss of insulation
was issued on Sunday at 1.50 a.m. all was well
again. By yesterday morning at four o'clock seven
hundred and fifty miles were paid out, the insula-
tion was perfect, and all going on right. These
hindrances and failures teach us neither to be over-
confident nor yet to despair. They show us what
extreme caution and nicety is necessary, what rigid
precision must be observed in dealing with the
cable. A pin's head or a needle's point may frus-
trate all the effort and the outlay. At the same
time the ease and rapidity with which the error or
accident has been both times traced to its source
and completely remedied, gives full ground for hop_
ing that with a continuance of care and attention
the great work may be finally accomplished, A
few hours have sufficed to remedy a total stoppage
from whatever cause it originated, and of course
such accidents will be carefully guarded against
in the future. Whatever skill and science can do
will be done, we know, by our electricians, who are
deeply interested in the success of this vast under-
taking ; so although neither our past nor our pre-
sent experience tends to make us over-confident,
there is every reason to believe that before very
long we shall rejoice over the triumphant accom-
plishment of the latest wonder of the world.

Last week, at Leeds, a dinner was given to :fir. I
BEECROFT to celebrate his return after a protracted
struggle. In many respects this was a great triumph,
for he was opposed by a formidable antagonist.
Mr. BEECROFT'S speech on the occesion was very
much to the purpose, and he touched upon many
subjects of interest and importance. Tie began by
saying that the old saying was realised by them,
" the end of the fray is the beginning of the feast."
The hon. member spoke with great moderation,
although he certainly had achieved a very decisive
victory after an arduous struggle. Indeed, it may
be said that, if numerically inferior to their oppo-
nents, the Conservatives have secured some
decisive victories which outweigh in importance
those of their adversaries. Lord AMBERLEY'S
rejection by the constituency at Leeds was
a. stunning blow to his party, especially when he
considers that he was sent forth in pomp and cir-
cumstance of electioneering war to fight the battles
of his friends and carry terror to his enemies
with the magic of his name and the watch-
