he Atlantic, by her Majesty's ship PorcuPlse, N
June, July and August last, at the instance Oh VIC
Atlantic Telegraph Company. Among other encour-
lginp statements the report contains the follownJ:
. With reference TO the principal oolec, q oui /
inauiry. that of finding more gradual slope INTO
the bed of the ocean, consider That our soundlpgs
showa in the accompanying chart, clearly prove
that the general dip Of The bank presents no olhcy
whatever to having cable, either from Nalentia or
Loop Head, or any other part Of the west coast OF
Ireland between Bantry and Blncksod Bays, that
NAV offer facilities for securely landing and working
it.I The report concludes as follows: "On exam
lining the soundpgs the slope will be fonnd TO vary
from six 20 nineteen feet dip IN 100 feet horizontal
n din that cannot possibly strain njure the cable
The knowledge of this fact will, trust, remove one
of the supposed difficulties in the way Of laying 1t,
and help to forward the successful realization OF tins
great national undertaking.
The editor of the Nautical Magazine, Captain
Buchor, OF the photographic Department OF The
Admiralty, thus comments upon the report: " ne
foregoing report sets ut rest the imagined difficulty
of tie precipituous character OF the approaches from
the sea bed to tie western coast OF Ireland MI.

ceptable to the Inward but sufficient are OBJ

"a large g., ale, but we have sketched out this section
on our chart as conveying an idea Of the slope IN that
latitude, and probably sullieien data will be found
in the reports for others hereafter. The whole osf-

On Wednesday evening, Mr. w. l.. Baxter, NJ p,

Mr.. Baxter, in the course of his lecture, pointed ont
the very rapid progress made by the Free states Of
America, while the Slave States bad been stlnding
still or retrograding. Except among the wealthy
uanters there were few Of the comforts OF civilized
life enioved by The whites in the slave States hrd
the poor whites" they were called, were
wretchcdly oil. The cause Of this be held TO be
Slavery which had most demortliZng effect on al
within its circle. He argued that there was 10 roa.

cultivation Of cotton and Tat IL would bo more Coo

and he concluded by saying: What l want 10
