downward from those on tho chfs to groups

began to come on land and was slowed
away OF the front OF the cliff. The scene
was one of real animation BY twelve o.

had been cut in the cliff for its reception, aud
from this point the work OF carrying its mas.

safely housed in the testing room Here the
batteries were at once applied, and showed
both the conductivity and insulation to the
last fathom in the hold in the Caroline to be
absolutely perfect and no sooner was this fact
ascersaned than the Hawk took the Caro-.
line in tow, while the rest of the cable was

Oh eers from the crowds both vessels started
on their cruise, and at the same time, in the
testing room OF the receiving house, the
Knight Of Kerry and Sir Robert Peel offered
their warm congratulations to Mr.. Glafs on
the success so far achieved.
The same correspondent, writing on the
24tb, says that it was after 4 o clock ia the
afternoon when the last of the tests we're con-
cluded. All the signals from end to end Of
the wire, came wonderfully distinct into the
instrument-room of the receiving house aud
