The advces received from Valentia on the 2Cth were
Of the most satisfactory nature The knot In the cable
on board the Great Eastern discovered before that
portion was paid ont So far as the "payingout"
apparatus is concerned everything has worked well on
board the big ship, and the latest kilograms from Mr.
Glass who is board the Great Eastern, state that at
$50 a. they were 80 miles from land but that by
$50 there had gone the rollers at the stern,
moro than $50 miles of cable. Considering that the
Great Eastern has only abou 100 miles of spare cable
board II the general dip is equal to that since the
resse left Valenta II is aSt possible that by the time
.ke sights Hope H,rbcr there may be a considerable
length wanting. We hope. however. although she was
pny going at the te of two and 5af 10 three miles
per hour That her paddles from their

paid out the stern. The ca1ness OF the sea was
disturbed by several squalls which made nasty tumb

which the cable was being paid out. Fortunately. the
steering Of the Great Eastern becomes easier as she
