THE CABLE.

Point for Quebec, Sunday night, with for
eign dates TO the 4th, five days later.
The latest heard from the Great East
ern was at noon of the I'd, when 1900
miles of the cable had been payed out.
The signals then became unintelliglble'
and nothing later had been heard A
very anxious feeling prevailed at London
and everywhere in England with regard
to the prospects of the cable. Up to mid
day of the I'd the signals received we're
singularly distinct. The Great Eastern
was then very nearly two-thirds of the
way to Newfoundland. She was in the
deepest water of the whole route, 2400
fathoms, or q little over two and a half
miles. 1t was at this time that the sig
nails to valentia became uninteligible and
gradually ceased.
The London Times iDfers that the dis
aster occurred after the liable left the YES
sci, for the fact that it was unknown to
those on board who were signaling their
messages as usual, when their signals be-
came unintelligible at Valentia, and at
last ceased entirely. As to the chances
of recovering the impaired part of the
cable and repairing it, this process could
not be accomplished at the rate of more
than a quarter of a mile an hour, which
the slightest wind or rough sea would at
once put an end to-. For such an event.
uality the Great Eastern is amply provid-
ed. She has several buoys on board,
equal altogether to a weight of fifty tons,
and she has at least FIVE miles of powerful
buoy ropes, which can support all that
the buoys themselves can float. This ef-
fort to buoy. however will not be resorted
to till the last extremity, owing to the
danger and ~improbability of finding the
cable again. The Times, III conclusion,
remarks that if the Great Eastern is ma
king successful efforts to haul in the Ca
BILE and repair it, a clear renewal of the
signals might be looked for within a
couple of days. If, on the contrary, that
time should pass without the cable giving
signals of life, the Times fears the case
must be considered hopeless, as far as re-
CARDS the success this year.
