whether they shall renew the attempt in Octo-
Der, which is often quiet month on the Atlantic

one Of two offers which understood to have been
made for the purchase of the cable, with a view to
its being applied to a communication with India.
The directors will sit in permanence till their f,-
ture plans have been fully discussed and determiu
ed on. The appeal of the directors to the comman-
ders OF the several ships composing the Atlantic

vice and experience, has been cordially responded

Sufficient information has already been obtained
to show clearly that the present check to the pro-
gress of the work, however mortifying, has been

due to any obstacle in the form of the cable nor of
any natural difficulty, Of any experience that
will, in the future affect in the slightest degree
the entire success of the enterprise. The only
sudden declivity of any serious magnitude, from
40 fathoms to 100 fathoms had been safely over
come, the beautiful fexibility of the cable having
rendered itself, without strain, to circumstances
which would probably have been its ruin had it
been more rigidly constructed.
