Mr. C. W. Field and the Atlantic Cable.

The New York Tribune gives us the following
chapter in the history of Cyrus W. Field, in con-
nection with the Atlantic Cable, that may have a
peculiar interest at this time. Mr. Field desired to
change his business, and looked around for some
sphere for his peculiar. talent. He called one day
on Moses Taylor, one of our wealthy and public-
spirited men, and proposed to open a new line of
railroad across the Isthmus, and so create a new
line to California. This new project was opened
in the mind of Mr. Taylor to serious objections,
and, so far as he was concerned, was abandoned.
Soon after Mr. Field called again ; he had now a
project, he said, that was not opened to the objec-
tions stated by Mr. Taylor, and to which Mr. Field
asked attention. It was to purchase the tele-
graph lines in the Provinces, and connect them with
the United States. The company held a valuable
charter from the New Brunswick Parliament. It
was unable to carry on business, and the whole
franchise could be purchased at a small cost, and,
when put in complete repair, would prove a valuable
investment. The charter was examined and found
not to be satisfactory. But it was said if the
charter could be changed and amended, and the
lines put at a low price, the purchase would be
made. Mr. Field agreed to visit New Brunswick,
and obtain the changes needed in the eharter, and
to do this if paid $l,OOO and his expenses. The
desired alterations were made. Moses Taylor,
Peter Cooper, Marshall 0. Roberts, Wilson G.
Hunt, and C. W. Field put in the sum of $lO,OOO
each, and became the company.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Aug. 24.—Two o'clock.—Business remains
almost at a standstill. A few offers take place, but
there are scarcely any buyers. The quotations are
little more than nominal, the only variation which
has occurred up to this time from the prices of last
evening being in French Threes, which were done
at 69f. 15c., or sc. higher. The same want of ani-
mation characterises the railway market.
Three o'clock.—A slight improvement has taken
place, the closing prices being as follows :

_HOW PROGRESS WAS MADE.

Mr. Field began the work of raising money in
London. He had to stretch out his hands and lift
up his voice to a gainsaying people. He put a coil
of ocean cable about his neck, and went from
banker to banker, from capitalist to capitalist,
working day by day, never weary, never disheartened
by refusals. Persecuted or repulsed in one place,
he went to another. He gained his point day by
day till the first cable was sent down to its ocean
bed.

DARK DAYS.
The first failure was repaired and the second
cable took the place of the last one. Weary and
sad, but with strong faith in the ultimate success
of the work, Mr. Field came home after the failure
of the second attempt to lay the cable. Few spoke
words of cheer or hope. The little company who
had raised the infant $lO,OOO up to among the
fifties and the hundreds of thousands had no more
they wanted cast into the depth of the sea. They
regarded the thing as impracticable, and wanted to
hear no more about the cable. But Mr. Field told
the gentlemen that he would never give it up—
while life lasted he would renew the attempt till
it was a success. , Like Peter the Hermit he began
the new crusade. Partly from pity, partly from
love of the pluck Mr. Field displayed, from one
cause or another, quite a liberal subscription was
obtained for the third attempt.

MR. FIELD ABROAD.

England was more obdurate than America. No
man wanted to see the face of Mr. Field, and he
was made to know that fact. Doors were closed
against him. Millionaires would not hear him talk.
Some thought his tongue like that of the charmer,
and fled from his approach. He was regarded as
au enthusiast merely. But steadily Mr. Field pro-
ceeded. He went were he was not wanted. He
came at odd times and in odd places—in the count-
ing-house and at the country-seat ;in the city
home and in the mart of trade. He gained his
point. Some were convinced ; some wanted to get
rid of the importunity ; some were willing to throw
away a small sum because they liked the persis-
tency of the man; a few had their waning faith
revived, and like the old hunter Henry Clay told
of, were willing to pick flint and try again. But
Mr. Field cared not what the motives so long as
he had funds and the two continents were united.

from philanthropic motives, is anxious to impart to every
one of her sex, rich or poor, the means of procuring the
most beautiful natural complexion by wholesome, simple,

NEW YORE, Fob. 3.
Toronto despatches, published in the New York pap3rs,
assert that a Fenian attack upon the Canadian frontier
towns was hourly expected, and that all the wilitai y were

Ireland by way of Canada.
The atawa Post states that the mission of the Canadian
Reciprocity Commissioners to Wash'ng ton was a failure,
in consequence of which an early session of the Canadian
Parliament was expected.

calling himself George Main has been imposing on the in-
habitants of Glasgow by stating that he is a surviving pas-
senger of the London, and he has in consequence received
a considerable sum of money. His accounts of the disaster
are represented to be of the most minute and harrowing
description. The impostor, no doubt, seeks to represent
Mr. David Gavin Main, one of the three surviving passen-

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held on Saturday iu Dublin—Mr. W. Ilaughton in
the chair.

Mr. Taylor, the secretary, read the report, an
abstract of which has appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that
if at any time the directors had deserved any credit
for the management of the company's affairs, they
never deserved it more than during the eventful
years through which they had lately passed, and in
which the company's dividend was reduced only to
a small extent. It was exceeo;ngly gratifying to
the directors to meet the shareholders again with
the largest surplus they had ever had on any pre-
vious occasion. (Hear.) It was a clear bona fide
surplus of £26,000, of which they proposed to allo-
cate £7,000 to the reserve fund, which would then
amount to £12,000. They proposed to add £3,000
to the insurance fund, making it £5,000, and the
balance of £16,000 they expected would be amply
sufficient to protect the company's dividend for the
year 1866. The increase in the;-' passenger traffic
for the past half-year amounted to £22,000. It
was the decided opinion of the directors that if they
consulted the interests of the shareholders, and not
the expectations and gratification of the public, they
never would run an excursion train upon their line.
(Hear, hear.) The worry, the expense, and the
risk attendant on those trains far more than out-
weighed, in the opinion of the directors, any pro-
blematical profit they might derive from them.
After some discussion the report was adopted, the
dividend on the consolidated stock, at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum, 'was declared, and the retiring
auditor, Mr. R. Atkinson, was re-elected.
