revelations about tho Atlantic Gable.

We learn several important facts "a 10 the
Atlantic telegraph cable from the statement
of Mr.. Marley, the new electrician, TO the d.
rcctors. He has satisfied himself by expert
mcnt that besides the defective insulation
somewhere between 2i5 and 300 miles from
the Irish coast, there il another great defect
about half way between the coast and mid
ocean, and that this defect was evident in the
cable both before 1t was embarked and while
it was on the Agamcmnon-and yet
IL was laid Mr.. Marley also tells
US that not n single message has been re-
corded on the telegraph instruments since tac
cable wns laid, and that what has been got
through has been read, very impcrfccty of
course, by the reflections Of a galvanomcter.
lie says that the powerful currents sent over
the cable have probably impaired the insula-
ton as they have been sufficient to burn
through the gutta perchn where there has
been resistance TO the conducting wire. He
thinks that if more moderate power had been
used the cable might still have been capable
OF transmitting messages. Mr. Marley pro.
nounces the conducting wire OF the present
cable too small TO have worked satisfactorily,
even if the insulation had been sound. Thus
we get by degrees at the secret history Of the
cable, and IL il by no means creditabie TO
those who have had the management of the
enterprise. The only satisfaction comes from
the hope that those who lay the next cable
will learn something from the mistakes of
their predecessors Springfield Republican.
