The Third Atlantic Cable.

The preparations for laying the Atlantic cable dur
ing the ensuing summer have been Recommended in
England. As before, the Great Eastern, commanded
by Captain Anderson, will be Employed Mr.. Canning
and Mr. Clifford are again to be entrusted with the
mechanical task of laying the cable-and the mys-
terouS De Sauty again in charge of the electrical
department. The cable is identical in construc-
ton with the last except its outer wires which are
galvanized will be closely covered with Manila
hemp and that it bears strain of from fifteen ct to
a ton more than that of last year. About one hun
dred and sixty miles of the cable have been made
and the manufacture will proceed at the rate of
one hundred miles per week.
Early in une the Great Eastern will leave Valen-
cia with the cable board, and again endeavor
to lay it in the Atlantic to Newfoundland. If this
etor; be successful the great steamer having taken
in a supply of coal will return to the mid-Atlantic
to grappe for the last lost cable; the locality can be
ascertained within quarter Of a mile. Two other
vessels will be divided with scientifically construct
ed graphing apparatus, which, it is calculated will
bring the cable to the surface if it be laid hold
Of The attempt will be TO grapple it in three places
at intervals of about two miles. When recovered
more correctly if recoVered-a message viii be sent
through this old cable Valenta to test its elecri-
cal condition and if this be good it will be splced
on to that part of the old cable which remained on
board the Great Eastern after last years failure and
the mammoth steamer will then proceed back to
Newfoundland trying to lay a second sub-Atantic
telegraph. OF course many casualties may inter fere
with these arrangements and projects, but at pres
ent, what we have here stated constitutes the cable
programme for 1856.
