nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they , are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
fecolves no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION,

1866.

THE LANDING OF THE SHORE END.

The harbour of Heart's Content presented a s3enc
of interest and excitement on the evening of Friday,
the 27th of July, which will not easily be effaced
from the memory of those who witnessed the final
triumph of the Atlantic Telegraph Expedition of
1866. Securely anchored in its capacious waters
lay the Great Eastern, surrounded by her faithful
convoy, while boats of all sizes and kinds flocked
about her laden with the inhabitants, who rushed
wildly on board to see the leviathan ship and all her
Wonders. Now groups were seen examining the
machinery—others, and by far the greater number,
found their way to the grand saloon, the luxurious
fittings of which appeared to attract their greatest
admiration. Thevelvet-covered sofas in the ladies'
saloon found a succession of occupants iu the per-
sons of the fair daughters of heart's Content, and
the pianos responded to the touch of more than one
of them in some popular music of the day. For a
week before the arrival of the ship, people living
even as far away as St. John's, eighty miles distant,
had been waiting to see her. Where or how they
lodged is known only to themselves. To us, who
reckoned the houses in the village and round the
bay (and they number about 60), it is a mystery.
While this crowd of visitors was on board there was
a select gathering on shore, comprising the leading
resident gentry and their families, awaiting the
landing of the cable from the Medway by the boats
of the Terrible, to whom that honour was assigned.
Her large paddle-box boats, her cutters, pinnaces,
gigs, were all brought into requisition, and under
the command of Lieut. Streatfeild, the second lieute-
nant, conveyed it to the shore, close to one of the
wooden fish-stages, nearest to the telegraph-house,
some three or four hundred yards distant from the
water's edge. This part of the shore is fringed
with huge boulders of rock, so that the boats could
not get within 20 yards of the beach; but the Ter-
rible's crew, accompanied by the leading cable
men, under the orders of Messrs. iTemple and
London, soon jumped into the water, and
there was a hearty, animated, and amusing
struggle between them to see who it was that should
first bring the cable on shore. Perkins, one of the
cable staff, broke a bottle of champagne on the end
of the cable as it left the boat ; and, as nearly as
possible, at 4p.m.,
the chief engineer (Mr. Canning)
received the Atlantic telegraph cable of 1866 at its
western terminus. Well may he have felt proud at
seeing the triumphant result of his labours in the
completion of the greatest of modern enterprises.
Captain Anderson was close to him, sharing in his
feelings of gratification. Mr: Daniel Goode, M.P.,
Captain Hamilton, and Mr. Cyrus Field, directors
of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, with
their Secretary, Mr. John C. Deane, were there also,
awaiting the intimation which they were soon to re-
ceive from the telegraph-house that the cable had
been connected with the instruments, and still more
that it was in perfect electrical condition. Mr.
Willoughby Smith, the chief electrician, soon pro-
nounced the signals to be perfect from the Irish
shore. Mr. Goode then sent a message to Lord
Stanley, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in
these words Mr. Goode has the pleasure to in-
form Lord Stanley that the Newfoundland shore
end of the Atlantic cable was laid to-day, and the
most perfect communication established between
England and America. God grant it may be a
lasting source of great benefit to our country." He
also sent the following message to Mr. H. A. Glass,
the managing director Our shore end has just
been laid, and a most perfect cable, under God's
blessing, has completed telegraphic communication
between England and the continent of America. I
eannot find words fully to express my deep sense of
the untiring zeal, and the earnest and cheerful man-
ner in which every one on board, from the highest
to the lowest, have performed the anxious and ar-
duous duties they in their several departments have
had to perform. Their untiring energy and able
and watchful care, night and day, for the period of
two weeks, required to Complete this work, can
only be fully understood and appreciated by one
who, like myself, has seen it. All have faithfully
done their duty and glory in their success, and:join
with me in hearty congratulations to our friends in
England who have in various ways laboured in car-
rying out this great work." A salute in honour of
her Majesty of twenty-one guns each from the
Great Eastern, Terrible, Niger, and Lily, announced
the landing of the cable, and the cheers which were
given on shore were answerbd by those from the
ship over and over again. Early in the morning
before the Great Eastern entered the harbour, Mr.
Goode had received the message from the Queen to
the President of the United States. It was in these
words :--,c The Queen, Osborne, to the President
of the United States. The Queen congratulates the
President on the successful completion of an under-
taking which she hopes may serve as an additional
bond of union between the United States and Eng-
land."

Upon consultation with Captain Commcrell, of

H.M.S. Terrible, that officer resolved to despatch
Niger, Capt. Bruce, with her Majesty's
message to Cape Rae for transmission by the New
York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph, to
Washington. About 5 p.m. the corvette was on her
way out of the harbour.
Saturday, July 28.—Ships alongside supplying
us with coal, and the accommodation ladder sup-
plying us with visitors from all parts of Newfound-
land, who braved the difficulties of the very worst
roads, and about as bad vehicles, to get to Heart's
Content to see the ship. But one came to whom it
was not permitted to have that gratification. A
blind girl, led by her young brother, walked about
the deck, and gathered from his intelligent descrip-
tion, and by the exercise of her sense of touch, some
notion of the great size of the ship. Coming up
the ladder at the side doubtless gave her an idea of
the height, and then a walk from stem to stern an
estimate of the length. It was touching to see the
radiant smile on this poor girl's face as she listened
to the boy, who told her of the wonders he
saw. Heart's Content, they say, is so called_ from
the harbour being like a heart in shape ; but then
the two next harbours on the same side of Trinity
Bay are respectively called " Heart's Desire," and
" Heart's Delight," with certainly no resemblance
to the organ in any recognisable way.
Sunday, July 29.—A day of quiet repose, and
of great relief, after the excitement we have gone
through.
Monday, July 30.--To-day Captain Anderson
entertained all the officers of the squadron. On
such an occasion one can easily imagine there was a
good deal to be said in the way of mutual congratu-
lations. Captain Anderson, Mr. Cyrus Field,
Mr. Gooch, M.P., Captain Hamilton, Mr. Canning,
Mr. Clifford, Mr. Willoughby Smith, Professor
Thompson, Captain Commerell, and Captain
Moriarty all making appropriate speeches.

Tuesday, July 31.—T0-day we had President
Johnson's message to the Queen sent to this station
to transmit to her Majesty. It reached Heart's
Content, at 3.12 p.m., and at 5 p.m. we received
an intimation. from Valentia that it had been de-
livered to the Queen at Osborne. The message was
in these words—" The Executive Mansion, Wash-
ing, 11.30 a.m., July 30. To her Majesty the Queen
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire-
land. The President of the United States acknow-
ledges with profound gratification the receipt of her
Majesty's despatch, and cordially reciprocates the
hope that the cable that now unites the Eastern
and the Western hemispheres may serve to strengthen
and perpetuate peace and amity between the Go-
vernment of England and the Republic of the United
States.—ANDREW JonNsoN." Shortly after the
President's message was received, which was about
noon, ship's time, the American flag was saluted by
the Great Eastern with 21 guns. Mr. Cyrus Field
had congratulations from his fellow-countryman, the
President, in terms almost identical with those 'sent
to the Queen, and a characteristic communication
from Mr. Seward, in which that distinguished states-
man stated that" if the Atlantic cable had not failed
in 1858, European States would not have been led
in 1861 into the great error of supposing that civil
war in America could either perpetuate African
slavery or divide the Republic."
Wednesday, August I.—This morning Captain
Moriarty, R.N., left in the Albany to look for the
end of the cable of 1865, the Terrible accompany-
ing her. The Albany is fitted with a complete set
of picking-up machinery, buoys, &c. We have every
hope that when we arrive at the place where it parted
last year it will be hooked and brought to the sur-
face by the Messrs. Temple, of Mr. Canning's staff,
who have gone with the expedition. Capt. Batt,
R.N., takes Capt. Moriarty's place on board of us,
and Capt. Prowse, R.N., still remains in the Med-
way.

Tuesday, August 2.—Twenty miles to a ball !
Nothing in these parts! And so, over hill, down
dale, through ruts, over stones, went nearly all of
us to a ball given by Mrs. Ridley, of Harbour
Grace, to commemorate the laying of the Atlantic
cable. A special ball-room erected for the purpose,
tastefully decorated, received the invited strangers,
who had an opportunity afforded them by their
fair hostess of seeing that Newfoundland can hold
its own with any other part of the world in the
beauty of its women.
Friday and Saturday, Aug. 3 and 4.—Some
return must be made for all this hospitality, and so
most of the ladies who met us at Mr. Ridley's
visited the ship on Saturday, dined, and improvised
a dance in the evening.

Sunday, Aug s.—Divine service in the dining
saloon, which was attended by our guests, who had
remained on board during the night. They saw a
much larger congregation than they would have
found in the church of Heart's Content, heard the
service impressively read, and sacred music done in
a very creditable manner.

Monday, Aug. 6.—The Medway alongside, still
discharging the cable of 1865 (838 miles) into our
main tank.

Tuesday, Aug. 7.—The Ariel steamer, from St.
John's, in sight, with the mail. The Attorney-
General, Mr. Carter, and Colonial Secretary, Mr.
Bemister, of Newfoundland, on board her. There
was a bag of letters quite in keeping with the size
of the Great Eastern, which were quickly distri-
buted. The Ariel left again at 3 p.m. for St. John's,
so that an opportunity was afforded to write by the
homeward mail. To-morrow we shall have a visit
from the Governor, who would have been with us
before, were it not that he was away from St.
John's on an official tour of inspection.

Wednesday, Aug. Bth.—Active preparations
going on all day for our departure to-morrow. At
5.45 H.M.S. Lily, Mr. Kerr, R.M., commanding,
arrived, with the governor and staff, consisting
of Major Jarvis, A.D.C., Major Wright, R.A.,
A.D.C., Commissary-General Moore, and Mr.
J. Musgrave, private secretary. His Ex-
cellency shortly afterwards came on board,
with a salute of 17 guns from the Great Eastern.
He was received at the gangway by Captain An-
derson, Mr. Gooch, M.P., Captain Hamilton, Mr.
Cyrus Field, Mr. Canning, Mr. Willoughby Smith,
Professor Thomson, Mr. Clifford, and Mr. Deane,
who were severally introduced to his Excellency
by the Premier and Attorney-General, Mc: Carter.
The Governor brought some twenty guests in the
Lily, all of whom were entertained at dinner, and
remained, as did his Excellency, to sleep on board
the Great Eastern. Mr. Canning conducted the
governor over the ship, showing him the tanks, the
machinery used in the expedition, and presenting
him with specimens of the cable. Great satisfac-
tion was felt by every one on board that her Ma-
jesty's representative in the colony of Newfound-
land had paid this official visit.

THE EXPEDITION TO RECOVER THE
CABLE OF 1865.

Thursday, August 9th.—At 5 a.m. we com-
menced to unmoor, and at 10 a.m. the governor
left the ship for the Lily, and went ashore to visit
the telegraph station, on which the British ensign
floated in significance of the fact that the great
enterprise is essentially an English one. The go-
vernor sent a complimentary message to Valenta,
to Mr. R. A. Glass, the managing director. The
building where the electric instruments are at
present is very small and inconvenient. The di-
rectors of the Angla-American Telegraph Company
here have taken practical steps to increase the ac-
commodation. Shortly after their arrival they
purchased a piece of land for erecting a suitable
building. Mr. Nevill, the colonial architect, has
furnished designs, and Messrs. Southcott, of St.
John's, have entered into a contract for the house.
By noon, Mr. Halpin, the chief officer, had got up
the anchors, and we left Heart's Content, the Lily
accompanying us. The Medway had gone out
half-an-hour before, and waited for us in the bay.
A complimentary signal was sent from the governor,
thanking Captain Anderson_for his hospitality, and
