| Even the memory of the great excitement which
spread all over Great Britain and America is pass
ing away, and the exploit of the Niagara and the
| AgamemnOn is well-ngh forgotten. Yet, although
oar premature rejoicing as of fat accompH over
that which was purely experimental, is not sug-
gestve of pleasant reflections, it would be contrary
to Ango-Saxon pluck and Yankee ingenuity to
give over as hopeless project which has encoun-
tered but single repulse. The two continents
must ana Will be connected by a lightning monitor;
anu present failures will but enlighten the path

Inc distance between the coasts of Europe and
America at the points selected for the great cable,

the danger OF breakage in paying out, and how ma
teria was the risk of severing the connection by
| attriton with submarine objects. For a LONG time

ed the principal if not the only But the cleo
| tricans-chief of whom has been Professor Fara-
| day-have detected graver obstacle than either
of these. They have proved BY repeated expert
ments that not only is electric force arrested in its
transit through very long cables but that the
| tardation is cumulative, increasing in a certain
ratio in proportion to the distance traversed; that
is to say, while it takes One-third of second to
| transmit a current through cable 500 miles in
| length, it will take about second to transmit it
| 1000 miles, and so
| In pursuance of theory for overcoming the
dlihcultles this phenomenon eated, Col. II. =.
| Shaifner, one of the best of our own telegraphic
engineers, started the idea a short time before the
| delivery of Faraday's lecture of communicating
| between the two continents by series of short
stages in preference to a continuous line carried
| right across the ocean. The merits of this pIan
have been thoroughly Investigated of late, more
particularly by the Royal Geographical Society,
tine results of which were made known January
2Sth and February 1lth, 1861. The route now pro-
posed is ria the Farce Islands n. w of the north
extremity of Scotland thence to Iceland, thence
| to Greenland, and leading across to the coast of
| Labrador. From perusal of pamphlet forwarded
from London, and containing account Of the pro-
! ceedngs of the Society, disposed to believe
that the new project will be carried successful

| THE PANAMA PEARL FIsHERIEs.-The Panama
| New Granada) Star of April oath gives an account
of the Pearl Fisheries of Panama, in the form of a
communication from a correspondent We copy:
| "The pearl oyster abOuuds, not only at the
islands, but all along the shores of the mainland;
and even from the as yet imperfect exploration OF
this coast, inclined to the belief that series
of deposits lay from the Gulf of Darien to that
! Of California. We know that in the waters of the
latter place, and along the shores of Central Mexi-
and Costa Rica, fishers of shells have for
| length of time enjoyed the most profitable employ
| ment though we are not yet aware that pearls of
| any consequence have ever been discovered. From
the province of Chiriqui several shipments have
| been at sundry times made, by merchants of this
| town, of shells extracted from deposits in that
| neighbor hood; and boatmen. who bring the ordi-
nary table oyster to this market, assert that banks
| of the pear-bearing molusc9, at not very distant
intervals, abound in every direction on the coast Of
| this State.
