ING THE CABLE.
QUEENSTOWN, July 80 The entire squad.
ron, consisting of five magnificent ships Of
war, now about to proceed to the consumma-
tion OF this great enterprise, are at this time
anchored 10 the harbor of Queenstown. They
consist of the Niagara Capt. Hudson the
Susquehanna, Capt. Joshua Sands; the Ag-
amemnon Master Commander Noddall the
Cyclops, Capt. Dayman; and the Leopard,
Capt. Wainwright.

cable.
10 Mr.. G. r. Bright is committed the en-
tire control and responsibility of depositing
in It's ocean bed this wondrous example of
the united power of science and industry.
During the progress of the A gamemnon to
regulating the delivery of the cable into the
sea were kept continually in motion by the
email engine on board, which is connected
with them; the sheaves and gearing worked
with great facility and precision, and so quiet
that at short distance from them, their
motion could scarcely be heard.
The strength of the girders which carry
the bearing the entire apparatus, and which,
to the eye Of person unskilled in the pract-
cal working OF this description of machinery,
may seem at first to be unduly ponderous,
was found TO contribute greatly to the easy
motion and satisfactory steadiness of this
most important agent in the success of the
undertaking.
