THE COMPLETION OF THE CABLE OF
THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.
Yesterday the last mile of this great
cable was completed, and wound through
the last of the covering machines, in the
preseuce of a large number of distinguish
ed visitors who had assent bled to do hon
or to the occasion. Beyond recording the
fact of its completion very little took
place at works of the Telegraph Company
yesterday to call for special remark. All
the most distinguished electricians and
engineers, and all the leading scientific
gentlemen who have 50 long watched and
aided to the utmost of their power the
promotion of this great scheme, were pres
eut, together with all, or nearly all, the
directors of the Telegraph Maintenance
Company; Mr.. Glass, as usual, receiving
the visitors AS mere sight, there was
of course, very little to be witnessed
much less, in fact, than might have been
seen at the works any day this twelve
month past. Only one machine had half
a mile to complete--that is to say, to case
the core with Mr.. Wright's most ingen-
ious and simple patented apparatus, in
closed wire with strands of hemp which
form the outer covering. When all the
visitors were assembled this was started
and the core wound regularly and slowly
through the center of the machine, which
revolving round at a great speed, complet-
ed the outer case of hemp and iron. Work
ing at IA hours a day, each machine is
able thus to cover four miles an hour, the
avelaqe rate of manufacture for the four
machines having been about II miles per
day. AS the cable is drawn out of the
machine it passes through guage, which
congresses it firmly, and then out of the
mandatory away to the tanks, where it
is coiled under water, and every change
in its electrical condition noted with a
care and minuteness that have certainly
never been applied to any other cable.
: From first to last indeed, it has
been subjected to a series of the
most searching electrical tests,
the standard of insulation being
fixed at resistance per nautical mile
! equal to l50,0Oo,0 900 of Siemaen's units
!, at temperature of rs - "a standard
wholly unprecedented in any former work
d. of the kind. In actual practice these
!. tests, great as they wcre have been con
sidcrably exceeded, and the present At
lantic able has come out successfully from
I. series of trials of the most crucial char
actcr. The results which have been OBJ
, tained have been Cue mainly to the search

JONATHAN TO JOHN BULL---A FAMILIAR
EPtSTLE.

BY JOHN O. SAKE.
Dear John: don't forget
am something in your debt
For giving me many sinister slap;
But perhaps the recent news
May have modified your views
Say what do you think of us now, old chap?
Not many months ago,
As you very well know,
Growing Justify over each Fed raj mishap,
You swore the rebel crew
Would "put the Yankees through
And how you used to mock
At our solid Union stock;
And then--to repleniish your treasurys gap
Took the Cotton Bonds at par,
(Like donkey as you areD
Well what do you think of 'em now old chap?
Once the "honor' of the South
Was forever in your mouth,
As oft as you viewed the American map,
But since cavalier you see
With assassin to agree
Say!-What do you think of it now, old chap?
Ah.-John-that little debt
We will make it even yet,
BY giving your gouty old knuckles rap;
And when that job is done,
Well have no occasion, John,
To ask, what do you think of us now, old chap!

EIGHTH Leoture-M. I. A. Course.

At an early hour last evening City Hall was
well filed, and promptly at the hour appoint
ed. Rev. A. A. Willetts of Brooklyn, N. T.,
was introduced, who was greeted with APP
plause. He announced his subject-Sunshine,
and warned his hearers not to expect too much
from the speaker on account of the brilliarcy
of the subject. he did not come before them
any profound tearing, but to have familiar
talk with them upon sunshine-Dot literal, out
mental, moral, figprative sunshine. However,
he first spoke briefly of the sunlight in the
physical world, of its power, uses and nature,
and what the world and everything in it would
be withoutit. His description Of such state
was vivid and impressive.
He then passed to the mental and moral
sunshine, the principal basis of his lecture,
and illustrated 1t by figures, images, anecdotes
and sharp points that made up a most beauti-
full picture upon which the audience gazed
with infinite delight Els form, face, express
sion, tone of voice, manner-all seemed to be
adopted TO his theme and made his audience
feel and think just as he did. all were happy
together and the hour and half passed most
agreeably.
He knows how to be sarcastic as well as
amusing; and when he spoke of the religious
aspect OF his subject, he bore exceedingly hard
upon those religionists whose piety consists in
elongated faces, STOPPING backs and measured
steps. They were not spared, either in his
anoach nr hia nr,f ho tod horn IN,
their true colors, and in this he but followed
the example of the Saviour when he spoke of
the Pharisees and hypocrites of his time.
His anecdotes were quite as amusing as they
were illustrative, and kept his audience in the
best humor throughout his lecture. There
were sunshine and smiles all about the hall,
for he touched every heart and produced
smile on every countenance. 1t was capital
lecture, full of sunshine and instruction which
will not soon beforgotten.
His hearers must have gone to bed in good
humor, and walked up this morning with
smiles on their countenances and resolution
in their hearts to be more cheerful in the fn-
ture, and spread more moral and mental sun.
shine in their paths through life. Such lee
lures must do much good in times like these,
when dark and portentous war-cloud is
hanging over us, and our country is bleeding
at every pore. In all the lectures we have
heard in this hall we have heard none that
gave more pleasure than this. 1
Cheerfulness, under all circumstances, is a
virtue which all ought to cultivate. Christi
auity itself is the embodiment of this virtue.
and when received in its true light, it never
fails to cast sunshine upon the soul. We thank
the lecturer for his good humor and his in
struction on the theme he chose, and hope all
will profit by them. ,....sg,.s.
The ninth lecture will be given by Rev. j.
s. C. Abbott, the historian, next Wednesday
evening. His subject, the present war and
Gen. Grant. Something rich and racy may
be expected from such lecturer on such a
subject.

Admeasuremant of Vessels.


The recent act Of Congress "to provide for
the admeasurement of tonnage of ships and
vessels of the United States,n went into effect
on the first inst. This law not only provides
for the admeasurementof new vessels, but also
compels the re-admeasurement Of those here
tofore built, as will be seen by the following
extract from the same. "Every ship or vessel
built within the United States, or that may be
owned by citizen or citizens thereof, on or
after the first day of January, eighteen hun
dred and sixty-five, shall be measured and reg
istered in the manner hereinafter provided:
and every ship or vessel that is now owned
by citizen or citizens of the United States
shall be remeasured and re-registered upon
her arrival after said day at port of entry in
the United States. and prior to her departure
therefrorn, In the same manner as hereinafter
described" 1t also provides that Sin every
registered United States ship or vessel the
number denoting the total registered tonnage
shall be deeply carved or otherwise perma-
nently marked on her main beam, and shall
be SO continued !; and If it at any time cease
to be so continued, such vessel shall no long,
er be recognized as registered United States
vessel.
We understand the Surveyor of this dis
trict is fully prepared with all the necessary
apparatus and d competent force to measure
vessels under this law-and, 30 far as is prac-
ticable, will serve parties who make applica
ton to him in the order in which they apply.
Owners of vessels and other interested parties
will do well, therefore, to make immediate ap-
plication, if they would have their vessels
measured at an early day. No vessel that en-
tiers this port on or after the rstinstant should
commence loading until remeasured, as she
cannot be cleared at the Custom House I'M
til this has been done. EfS z9gENII5 III

the mission of the Blairs to Richmond MIR.
Blair, believing he might by visiting Rich
mond, pave way for peace, proposed to 90
there, and the President, while he declined to
give the visit an official character, saw no
reason for preventing it. Mr.. Blair, accom-
panied by his son Montgomery. Accordingly
repaired to Gen. Grants headquarters. but
was not permitted to proceed further, because
the Secretary of War believed that no good
could be effected by his proposed conference
with tne Confederate chiefs. and saw fit to in
not approve of Mr.. Blair's proceedings. which
Gen. Grant very naturally Interpreted as
hint from his superior not to allow Mr.. Blair
to pass bis lines on his way to Richmond. Mr..
Blair thereupon returned to Washington,
1t is rumored that the object of the mission
was only to get Montgomery Blair's political
correspondence, captured at his residence at
