The Atlantic Cable.

The completion of one-half of the cable of
the Atlantic telegraph, about 1850 miles,
has already been announced, and its cele-
bration at B.rkenhcad was an interesting
occasion. The London Times say of it:
The cable consists of strand of copper
wire covered three times with gutta percha.
The gutta percha is sewed from end to end
with spun yarn, and covered with Is strands
of seven wires each. There are thus %,
900 miles of strand, composed of seven times
that quantity of wire, being total Of 49,
600 miles of wire. The process of spinning
occupied 50 days, $500 miles of wire being
used per day, and $50 hands being employ
ed. The spun yarn was also made by
Messrs. Newell upon the same premises, 100
machines for this purpose being ranged in
one of the upper floors of the works. The
cable il now lying in four huge coils Teach
Is feet in diameter and feet high,) all
ready for being shipped. 1t will be trans
ferred, probably to-day. in small drafts, and
thence on board the Niagara, which is ex-
pected to arrive at the mouth Of the river
early next week. The weight of the cable
averages one ton per mile, and it is to be
laid by the process patented BY Mr.. Newell,
and adopted in the Black Sea, (passing the
wire through hollow cone) which prevents
twisting.
The labor Of shipping the cable will be
considerable. "A small engine is being fitted
to wind the coil on board; and the whole
operation of shipping will occupy, it is cal
culated at least six weeks. The two in-shcr4
ends are nearly finished, and the centre
piece of steel wire cable is progressing ra-
pidly. Though both at Greenwich and
Brkeuhead, the manufacture will continue
a, one end while the other is being shipped,
it is not expected that more than , ,40Omiles
will BIO completed in all. This will allow
between 600 and 700 mile. for "slacks in
paving out.

Crops.

The crop. throughout the civilized world.
give cheering hopes of an abundant harvest.
Throughout Canada, the condition Of the
crops affords the most sanguine hopes. The
late rains, though in some instances they
may have done injury, have in general done
iucalculsble good. According to the Mon
tTea! Pays, the quantity Of land under grain
in Lower Canada is unusually great. The
grain harvest on the continent Of Eu-
rope promises the most brilliant results
ip some of the southern districts of France
Ills already being secured. In England
every kind of crops look better than they
have done for years past. In some of the
Southern portions of the Union. the new
wheat has been already brought into mar
ket. The New York Journal Of Commerce
saws that new North Carolina red whea, was
exhibited on Change on Friday. Il was .
sample of ten thousand bushels, which ap-
pears very well, although i, nigh. have been
cut little too green.

LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

steamboats, have arrived al this port, more

chandizs for this city. This fact speaks for
It.elf-it needs no comment. There Is no
gainsayi,g thefacs, tina, Council Bluffs, IN
relation to her business transactions in every
department, is second to no city On the
Missouri river, north Of ST. Louis; sur
rounded, as she is, by one of the most fer
tile agricultural districts in the West, and
being located mos. advan,ageously, draws
within her limits, an amount Of trade une-
qaalled by any other place Of its size, on
the Western continent. 4 more desirable
location for business men, is hard to be
found. Our streets are oil life and ANNA
tion-con.inuaIly filed with teams, loaded
with produce and merchandize--the most
conclusive evidence Of our prosperity. In
the mechanical department, Council Bluffs
exhibits an industry and energy, not to be
surpassed.
