the Atlantic cable, and his report is publish
ed in the English papers. After detailing
the scientific results Of his experiments, he
concludes as follows: 81 am Of the opinion
that a serious fault exists about 263 statute
miles from Nalentia, measured along the ca
bic, and that the cable between that spot and
the shore is comparatively perfect. Tests
from here cannot now decide whether the
cable is mechanically severed, and all at
tcmpts to detect the reception of the most i'll
tense currents from the opposite shore have
long since proved frutless. Still, from vari-
Gus circumstances attendant OH the decline OF
the insulation, there is every reason to be-

other faults exist beyond the one alluded TO,
it is impossible to ascertain"
