The CABLE mo Go."-Mr Varley, the
:" Electrician of the Eclectic and Inlerna-
ton Telegraph Company"-so is he styled
by the Company-has made report on
the state of the Gable as observed by him
on the 9th, 7th, Sth, 9th, and 10th of Sep.
tember, and the result, we regret to say, is
by no means encouraging. He finds fault
."of great magnitude at distance of be-
tween 245 and 800 statute miles from Va
lentia," and possibly but in water Of 4lO
fathoms in depth He finds the cable un-
broken, but thinks the power used will
shortly eat away the exposed copper wire
in the faulty place. by eectrolytic decom-
position. He is satisfied that there is ano.
ther fault more distant than this, the ap-
proximate locality of whloh he could net
estimate without communication with New
foundland.
From authentic data shown him at Va
lentia he is also of opinion that there was
a fault in the cable on board the Agamcm.
non. before it was submerged, Offering a
resistance equal to 1000 or 1900 miles OF
cable. situated at distance of about 500
miles from one end of the 1900 mile coil
and supposed to be the fault which caused
SO much alarm when the ships were 500
miles from Ireland. He is satisfied that
the cable has been seriously, if not fatally
impaired, by the use Of too powerful cur
rents from the large induction coils, espe
cially from this side, and that the present
conducting strand is too small to have an.
swcred its purpose even had the insulation
been sound.
Mr.. Yarley closes his discouraging cata
logue with what, though intended to con
yey some consolation to the directors, il
perhaps the most discouraging part Of his
report. He says: 1t is not, however, al
together impossible that some intelligble
signals may yet be received through til!
cable, as stated in my last communication.
He does not say that such a result is ever
probable, much less that the present cable
can ever be turned to any practical use
but implies contrary opinion. The pub
lication of such report by the company
is a practical admission that they canno
escape it's conclusions, and that they have
no better face to put upon the matter.
