OTHER SUBMARINE rELEeRApHs.

AS submarine cables are now in everybodys
mind, and furnish the staple for conversation
with nine-tenths of the community, twill be
we'll for all who wish to be we'll posted upon the
subject, to read what follows in relation to other
submarine telegraphs.
In the latter part of May, 1852, Great Britain
and Ireland were brought into instant communi.
cation through the same wonderful agent, the
submarine telegraph. The distance between the
points of onnection-Holyhead and I1owth--is
sixty five miles, and the greatest depth five hun
dred and four feet. There was only one wire in
this cable, with the Indispensable coating of gut
ia percha, which was protected and strengthened
by the iron wire covering the outside. 1t was
laid at the rate of four miles per hour, and fell
SO evenly that only three miles more than the &C.
tual distance traversed was required.
Scotland and Ireland were connected BY cable
of six wires in May, 1863 The distance is about
thirty miles, and was traversed by the steamer in
not more than ten hours The following June
a cable was laid from Orfordness, in England,
to the Hague, in Holland, a distance of one
hundred and fifteen miles. This task was &C.
complished in thirty-four hours, and only four
and half miles of cable required in the pay
ing out over the actual length from point to
point, making hardly one hundred and twenty
miles altogether Another cable connects Dover
with Ostend, making the third between England
and the continent.
In the Summer of 1854, telegraphic union was
effected between Corsica and Sardinia in Italy,
the Sandman government having granted three
vessels of war to assist in the undertaking. This
work was attended with much difficulty in con-
sequence of the breaking of part of the wire.
The submerging of a cable between Corsica and
the island of Sardinia was successfully accom-.
pished, shortly after, and all of these lines are
now in successful operation.

HE AFRlcAD SLAVE Trade IN FULL BLAST.
A dispatch from Savannah, Ga, of the 3Ist
ult., stated that it was rumored there that the
barque E. A. Rawlins had landed four hun
dred and fifty slaves somewhere on the coast.
A letter from Savannah in the New York
Express, dated LIST inst, explains the matter
thus:
"You will, perhaps, remember that some
excitement was created here last year by the
seizure of this barque CE. A. Rawlins) on
the ground that she was being fitted out
as SLAYER. After due examination
she was discharged, no evidence sufficient for
her condemnation being found. She COM
pleted her preparations and sailed for Madei-
ra. Yesterday morning she arrived here in
ballast. without papers, and with a new cap
tain and crew, who had been shipped at Gal
weston. 1t is commonly reported that she
landed $50 negroes in good order. Her own
ers do not feel any evil consequences from
the irregularity of coming in without papers,
as her captain has already, l think, re
ported himself to the Custom House officers
as in that condition, and therefore surrenders
himself and pays the fine of $500. This
leaves his vessel clear she can obtain papers,
clear again for Madeira with an assorted car
60, as before, aud make another good run.
These are in brief. the facts of the case.
The slave trade is not re.opened, as MIR. La
mar, in his letter to Secretary Cobb, threat
ened would be the case, for il has never been
closed"

Morse, by which he so united Voltas electric
current, and Henry's admirable use OF 1t,
that nation can communicate instantaneously
with nation, is in strctness neither European
nor American, but an Atlantic invention. 1t
was in a packet ship, on the bosom of the
Atlantic ocean. nearly thirty years ago, that
Morse first formed and then Carried into de.
tail the grand conception, whose grandest re-
suit is today buried in its majestic activity,
beneath that Atlantic's waves.
1t Is impossible TO conceive the excitement
which must have thrilled every heart on board
the Niagara, as she approached the land on
Wednesday. After so many dsappointments,
evey hour of continued success must have
made the anxiety more and more intense.
And, at the last, not John Cabot himself,
when he first saw those very cliffs of "New
Found Land from the sea, and gave them
and North America to England as he saw
them, can have felt the high wrought graft
tude and exultation of those who united in
the enjoyment of this great victory. One man
1elt that triumph who deserved all that he en-
Joyed. Mr.. Field is the man to whose untir.
ing zeal we owe this special success, as we
owe 1t to no other. Most great advances in the
civilization of the world have y like history.
Ihey come, because some one man, whose
name is Columbus, or Franklin, or Washing
ton, or Watt, determines that the world shall
gain one step forward. He will die rather
than have 1t fail. To the little list of such
determined men, Mr.. Fields name is to be
added. He did not invent the telegraph. He
did not first suggest the Atlantic Telegraph.
But he first determined that it should be. He
seems to have pledged life, fortune, and hon
or that it should be. To-day it is. And it
ls-oecause he made that pledge and that de-
termination.-Bost Adrerti8er.

SABBATH SCHOOL ExCURsIoN.--The excursion
of the Universaist Society and Sabbath School,
yesterday, was very pleasing and interesting
affair. They took the seven o'clock o'clock
train from the Providence depot, and were soon
landed in the beautiful grove at Farnumsville.
They numbered about four hundred. The exer-
cses in the grove were various, some we're sing
ing, some swinging, some picking whortlebernes,
some went to a neghborng pond to fish, some
were pitching quoits and others got hungry for
dinner, and went at that long before the dinner
hour. At one o'clock the people were called to-
gether by watchman's whistle, to hear the good
words that fell from the speakers. After singing
select piece of music, Rev. ]. G. Adams adj
dressed the Throne of Grace. He then called
upon Mr.. Mecorney, Superintendent of the Sab
both School, to make some remarks after which
Rev. D. H. Plumb appropriately addressed the
company. Rev. j. G. Adams made one of his
happy grove speeches. Before he closed, he spied
in. the distance, coming up the road, Rev. j.
BOyden and,Lattimer Ballou OF Woonsocket, r.
l. They were called to the speakers stand, and
when Mr.. Boyden got in the midst of good
speech, sudden shower came up, which drove
the audience to seek such shelter as they could
find. Frequent showers prevented further plat
form exercises, bnt happier set we never saw
the fullest extent Thus has begun and conclu-
ded another of those pleasant excursions that the
above society is noted for.

cisely marked out by natural tracing across
the depths of the ocean. There is one line,
and only one line, in which the work can be
accomplished. Providence has designed that
the old world and the new, severed at first by
a great gulf, shall be re-connected by electri-
cal sympathles and bonds, and Providence
has prepared the material means for the fulfil
ment of the design. In his official letter to
thr United States legislature, already alluded
to, Lieut.. Maury writes: 1.-The only practical
bic route for a submarine Telegraph between
the United States and England, appears to be
along the plateau of the Atlantic. where
upon it is proposed to lay the wire that is now
IN the process Of construction" In accord
snce with this conviction, and in anticipation
of the success which is to be realized, the
Lieutenant prophetically christened the trans
verse table land ledge of the North Atlantic,
"Ihe Telegraph Plateau" even before the
completion of the prophecy had become the
special charge of commercial enterprise.
ATTEMPTS TO LAY THE CABLE.
The first attempt was made on the 9Th of
August, 1857. Six steamers assisted. the
Niagara, Agamemnon, Leopard, Susque-
hanna, Willing, and Mind. An accident hap
pened on the 9th this was repaired, and on
the llth, three hundred and eighty miles
(statu!e) had been submerged. The engineer
here concluded that there was too much
''slack" in the cables course, and some modi-
tcation in the machinery was consequently
made. This appears to have been badly at
tended to by subordinate. The cable snap.
ped, and so ended the experiment of 1857.
The attempts of the present year and their
results are so fresh in ths minds of our read
ers that it is quite unnecessary to recapitulate
them here

The UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT, at Burlington,
has celebrated its anniversaries this week. Rev.
Dr. Samuel Harris, Of the Bangor Theological
Seminary, addressed the Society for Religious
Inquiry Rev. DR.. Storrs, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
the literary societies; and Rev. Mr. Cutler, Of
Worcester, the Alumni. The literary societies
have selected Wendell Phillips as orator, and
VIM. A. Butler of New York, as poet, for next
year. Dr. Storrs spoke of the law of gradual
growth and cumulation, and here is finished par
agrsph of his address;
1.-The affections Of friendship unite men vital
", and compact the state with infinite ALL
ancs and the final subordination Of material in-
terests to moral CT government to society, of lit
erature to religion. Of institutions to man-all
that which constitutes the noblest social pros

alized--draws steadily nearer. But it comes as
the growth of centuries and OF epochs. 1t

The graves of a race mark the path to its victo-
ries. Not the dainty and ingenious application
OF theories, but the actual physical mastery of
difficulties. the experiments and endurances Of
multitudes of years, the wreste Of races. and the
travail-throes of continents, have wrought it out

We learn that our informant was in error in
stating that Cyrus W. Field was native Of
Athol, in this county. He is son of Rev. David
d Field, formerly, and at this time, we believe, a
resident of Stockbndge, in Berkshire county
At the time of the birth of Cyrus W. Field, his
father was probably resident Of Haddam. Ct,
at which place he was many years minister.
OF this, however, there may be some question, as
we perceive that the Springfield Republican
claims Cyrus w. as native and former resident
of Western Massachusetts, and we have repeat
eddy heard 1t asserted that he native of this
State David Dudley Field, the distinguished
lawyer and politician in New York, is brother to
Cyrus W. The father is distinguished as an an
tiquarian and genealogist. Another of his sons
is lawyer of note at the West, and another still
is a minister. Cyrus W. was, for many years, a
New York merchant, and kept paper warehouse
in Cliff street.

The Rev. S. b. Crupt of Boston will preach at
the Church Of the Unity, tomorrow.

Rev. Mr.. Bleby of Barbados, West Indies,
will speak at the Park Street Church, in this
city, next Monday evening, at 7 IL o'clock, on
the subject of West India emancipation He has
been in the West Indies twenty.seven years. He
was there when slavery was the law, when eman-
cipation was declared, and has been there until
now. If any man, from personal observation,
and with excellent opportunities, is qualified to
speak on this subject, he is. He has spoken sew
eral times, and, as our columns have shown with
marked success. His position there is that of
missionary of the Methodist body. Rarely have
we had the opportunity to hear in Worcester one
so competent to speak on this question. Go and
hear him, all who seek for light, and, especially,
all lovers of human liberty.

state of suspense or feverish anxiety yester-
day, in consequence Of the non-arriYal of any
farther dispatch from Trinity Bay, which
was only partially relieved by the announce
ment that the wires were down beyond Hall
fax, and that communication beyond that
point was temporarily suspended. Whatever
some skeptical persons may say or think
about the intelligence already received, there
can be no doubt of its authenticity, and in

THE LATEST ABOUT THE TELE-
60 PHI.

HALIFAX, August 6.-From some unex-
planned cause, the Newfoundland line closed,
or at least ceased to work, early last evening,
thus cutting off all communication with the
cable at Trinity Bay.
We have as yet no further communication
with the Trinity Bay Telegraph Office, and
have, therefore, nothing important to commu.
nlcate, in addition to the satisfactory report of
yesterday from Mr.. Field.
Our last advices left the engineers and their
assistants employed in getting the cable ashore
at Bay of Bulls Arm.
No doubt was entertained but that the Ag-
amemnon had arrived at Yalentia Bay.
