The Atlantic Cable.

Our news from Europe has been; of.
such warlike character in the main,
that we have almost lost sight of an
event on the other side. of the waters
of much moment to us. Our readers
are aware of the determination of the
English and American Company to
make another effort to lay the Attain
tic Cable, which has twice met with
failure; andso our last adViees are that
the Great Eastern, with the cable on
board, has successfully laid the shore
end, and doubtless is now well out in
the ocean on the third experiment.
Although our expectations have twice
been disappointed, we will watch this
attempt with much interest. 1t does
not follow as a consequence, because
of two failures, the third attempt must
have the same termination. Theory
is giving place to practical expe-
rience. The first time the current
failed, and it is thought such a.
recurrence has been obviated in
the construction and insulation of
the second cable. The second cable
parted on account of its great weight
and tension and the imperfection in
the : paying out . machinery. The
third cable is lighter and more flexi-
BILE, and the paying out machinery
now in the Great Eastern is as perfect
as human wisdom can make it with
past experience, The picking up, Z
machinery is also improved, and sew
erala large buoys are provided in case
of rough weather or the contingency
of cutting the cable.
This third attempt may have the
same results as its predecessors, but
we have increased reason to hope that
it will be successful. If SO, it will
make new era in the scientific pro-
gress and international amity of the
world. A short time will now deter
mine it. -., -, =.

Rev. Mr.. SIMS, of the Trinity
Methodist Church, as will be seen by
reference to the reports of the
Churches in another column, is not
pleased with one of the resolutions
passed at the Union District Conven-
ton, which runs: 16aHst RITZ
Resolved, That we regard all legislative
enactments, unnecessarily infringing up
on the rights and usages of any portion of
our people, as unwise and impracticable,
and that we are opposed to the State inn
posing special taxes, by way of license or
otherwise, upon particular classes of citi-
zens.
Mr.. SIMS is certainly not in favor of
unnecessarily infringing upon the
rights of the people The resolution
only takes grounds against State laws
imposing taxes upon particular classes
of citizens, leaving the matter of IL
cense open to municipal regulation,
which is more a question of political
economy than morals We would
suggest that the resolution is worthy
a second reading.

sabbath Discotrses.

We give to-day, a report of the ex-
ercises of number of the Churches
of the city, We had hoped tothave
made the list more complete than it
is, but were disappointed assto the re-
ceipt of two or three expected notices.
We trust it will not be necessary to
apologize for the space occupied by
these reports. A collecation of the
subjects of the various discourses, of
itself, is matter of interest Our
readers are thus shown, at glance,
what is the spiritual food the people
are fed upon by the clergy; and We
in some degree gather the spirit of the
Churches. The abstracts of the ser
mons are of necessity very brief, some
of them so contracted that their au-
thors will hardly more than recognize
them, but our readers will get the
subjects of their discourses, at least

All, woe is me for pleasure that is vain,
= All, woe is me for glory that is past:
Pleasure that bringeth sorrow at the last,
Glory that at the last bringeth no gain
So saith the sinking heart and so again
1t shall say till the mighty angelblast
Is blown, making the sun and moon aghast
And showering down the stars like sudden
rain
And evermore men shall go fearfully
Bending beneath the weight Of heaviness;
And ancient men shall lie down YEARLY,
And strong men shall rise up in WEAKNESS;
Yea, even the young shall answer sighingly
Saving one to another: How vain it is

Unlike the many remedies that are offered
to the public this Tonic does not cure every
