The general programme of the second and, as we trust, final attempé to submerge this gi- gantic line of electrical communication be- tween the New and Old Worlds is, we believe, decided on, and all the preparations necessary to secure a successful plan of operations are rapidly, advancing toward completion. Since the last notice of the progress of this great un- dertaking the machines at Glasse and Elliot's manufactory have been working day and night to hee or the 400 additional miles of cable ordered before last Christmas, and intended to replace the 334 miles which were wee and lost last Autamn off Valentia. “This addi- tional length has now been completed. It is the same kind of cable as the rest, which we have already describe1—flexible, strong, snail, and light; it has been tested and retested to insure its perfect insulation, and its complete- ness being thus ascertained, the last miles of it were shipped last night on board the Adonis Screw steamer for conveyance to Plymouth. In the dockyard at Keyham the main bulk ‘ot the cable. to the length of 2,200 miles, has ‘been stowed away in gigantic coils during the winter, anda full stall of electricians, under the direction of Mr. Whitehouse, have been engaged in working messages throughout its entire length, and generally proving the clec- trical fitness of the eable to the fullest extent The result of these experiments, we are in- formed, has been in the highest degree satis- factory. Most of those acquainted with the first efforts which were made to send messagos through the entire length of the cable, know that the retarding influence. or whatever other name clectr y choose to call it. which exists jong conductor, exercises, a mest serious influence upon the rapidity with which it was found possible to transmit words through the full extent of the wire. Constant experunents, joined with practical skill in work *og the wire daily, have enabled Mr. Whi house to overcome so much of this ri ance, that five words per winute can new be sent through the 2.200 miles of cable at present at Keyham, and it is fully expected that before the time comes for its second submergement eight words will be transmitted with case and certainty. To many of our readers unacquainted with the practical working of submarine lines only eight words per minute may appear to be but @ poor result after all, though we can assure them that if ever attained it is such an im- provement in the rate of transmission as not many ventured to anticipate who saw the cable worked for the first time last Summer. At the same time such a result seems to show with most convincing clearness that, though 450 words per hour through this line, if it is suc- cessfully laid down, might doubtless amply re- munerate the company, it would stili be »lmost as far as ever from accommodating the business messages between Europe and the New World it, therefore, this line is submerged this Sum- mer, it will follow asa matter of course that three or four others must be laid as well, and there seams no reason why if one can be laid down, there should not be as many telegraphs under the Atiantic as thore are now under the channel. When the Adonis, with the 400 recently com- pleted miles, arrives at Plymouth on Monday next, the additional length will be immediate- ly landed and joined to the coil already at Keyham. This will raise the entire length of cable already manufactured to nearly 2,650 miles, or some 130 miles or thereabouts more than the entire length with which the expedi- tion started last Autumn. There is no doubt, however, that the first attempt was made with too small an allowance for casualties, and that consequently when the cable parted, and about 380 miles were lost in the depths of the Atlan- tic, it so reduced the length of wire remaining at the disposal of the engincers that further perseverance in the attempt became almost impossible. To | ape against a recurrence of this mishap, it has now been determined to raanufacture an additional 300 miles of cable beyond the 2.650 miles which wo have stated is already completed. This additional quan- tity will be commenced at Glass & Eliivt's works on Friday next, and will be completed ia a month or so, and furwarded to Keyham to be joined to the main coil, which will then measure nearly 3.000 miles in length. On the arrival of the Niagara at Piymouth, she will instantly commence taking on board her chare of the immense wire. which this time will amount in length to 1,900 miles, instead of 1.200 as on the last occasion. On board the Agamemnon the cable will not he coiled away in one tremendous mass amidships, but be dis- tributed equally on the fore, midship and after part of the vessel. in three cvils of about 500 miles each. By this arrangement, of course, the weight of the wire is equally distributed and the ship well trimued. Ihe very reverse of this was the case last Autumn, when the weight of the whole mass was concenjrated amidah and, thus balanced on the principle of a Chinese toy, the poer Agamemnon rolled on the least swell till her yards almost touched the water. The attempt to lay down the cable will be made this year ata much earlier period. As soon as the coils, with all the necessary app1- ratus and appointments are stowed away on board the Agamemnon and Niagara, (which will be about the beginning May,) both veasela will leave for « short trip into deep water, when a number of experiments will be made with the paying out of machinery, and to aseertain practically if any difficulties exist in the proposed plan for cubmerging the wire trom the centre of the Atlantic These exper- iments will be brought to an end in a few days. and any alterations which their results may suggest in the machinery or manner of paying out the wire having been adopted as svon ux possible the expedition will finally start about the beginning of June. All the best authorities and most experienced seamen have been consulted on behalf of the company as to the state of the weather in the Atlantic in the month of June, and we believe the result of an immense mass of testimony goes to prove that there are some five or six consecutive days in that month during which a gale in the Atlantic was seldom or never knvwn to cecur. The expedition will leave these shores so as to arrive in the centre of the Atlantic at about the commencement of these halcyon days, and the object will be of course to get over the deep sea part of the underta- king before the weather changes. The line will be joined and Jaid from the centre of the ocean, the Niagara bringing her end to England and the Agamemnon conveying bers to Amer- ica. Communication by electric signal will of course, if the wire holds, he kept up between the two vessels the whole way. All these new arrangements and precautions are the result of the experience of last year’s attempt, and, of course, all improvements con- duce t i the chances of ultimate success. But it is no exaggeration to say that there is one portion of the apparatus <— the fitness and proper management of which the success or non-success of the whole plan must ultimately depend, and that is upon the paying-out ma- emery. Tha: this machinery wis bad lart year, and that it was made still worse by the most absurd mismanagement, no one now de- nies, but we trust and believe that there is no chance of a repetition this year of such blun- ders| How the new machinery is constructed we cannot at present say, further than that a new self-acting brake has been devised, which is said to be perfect; that all the alterations have been made under the superintendence of Mr. Everett, the chief engineer of the Niagara, and Mr. Appold, and that Mr. Pen», Mr. Lieyd and Mr Field have, we believe. been from tiwe to time coxsulted about it. So tar, then, it ought to be all that can be wished, but we hope to be able to speak more positively on this point in a few days. Our readers may recollect that when the a tempt failed last autumn, 350 miles of the cable were safely deposited at the bottom of the sea Since that time, to the astonisiment of all who know the west coast of Ireland and the depth oi water in which the cable lay, it has beea under-run, and 51 miles of it recovered. When the ‘last mile was raized it lay at-a depth of 1,000 fathoms, and it was in that depth that it broke away, and the remaining 330 miles are still in the bed of the Atlantic, where they will ~~ till the end of time, a source of wonder and amusement to its marine inhabitants. It may, perhaps, be worth mentioning, as an in- ‘Stance of the credulity of human nature, that there are persons who think this 330 miles is still to be recovered and utilized again. It is, however, but fair to state that these persons are in no way connected with either the com- pany or its offi all the latter of whom have ‘ar too mugh e: ence in these matters ever to entertain such a hopeless idea. The portion of the cable recovered was in as perfect a state as when first laid down, as re- garded ite electrical conditions. It, however, showed signs of the outer covering of spiral wires having stretched considerably, though by no means to an extent to affect the insulation of the conductor.—London Times. Raerey, the American Horse Tamer, is at Paris, aftor astonishing the sporting world of England. The Emperor is to give his plana trial, ard has instituted a commission of all the best known names upon the turf at Paris, the Prince Joachim Murat, the Duc de Polgnac, the Counts Aguado, do Grammont, de Morny, dc., he. After witnessing the euccess of Rarey upon two or three rales animals whom he speedily reduced to order, the great trial of the day took placo upon a well known entire horse, called Stafford. This beast, which was brought for the express purpose of the ex- periment, from the government haros, or train- ing stables, of Cluney, is to all appearance as wild and untamed on animal as that on which Mazeppa himself ix depicted to have met his fate. He was brought inte Tattersall’s yard more in the guise of a wild beast than of a pature supposed to be aomesticated, and ly extubited a diaposition to do mischief pins, both for’ard and aft, as well as with his teeth, which retained the bystanders, despite their curiosity, at a moat respectful dis- tance. He was brought in with his eyes ban- dazed, strongly muzzled, and a cavesson i mouth, held by two men, whose prec: 1 the terror depicted in their face’ have made you suppose that they h: @ mad dog under their custody, and were holding on for their lives. The brute roared and bellowed like a very lion, and his wicked eye literally shot fire when, with the greatest caution, they at last ventured to-uncover his head. It is un- becessary to say that he laid about him in all directions on recovering the use of his optics, and woe betide the unfortunate wight who found himself within less than a score of yards or 30 of his heels! His lunge out was terrific. Ot this monster of a horse, Rarey fearless! laid hold, and seemed by mere force of will rather than of muscle, todrag him after him into a loose box, where he shut himself up alone for an hour with this agreeable and amiable ay sage Some of the spectators appeared to think, not unreasonably, that he would never come out again alive. What passed between the couple while they remained alone together, of course we, who were not in the secret, have no opportunity of learning, but certain it is, that, in the course of an hour, Rarey made his appearance again in the yard. mounted upon the back of Staf- ford, who was all alive but not kicking, and going along as quiet as a lamb, with nothing but a snaffie in his mouth. For a beast who was every now and then in the habit of leaving the marks ot his heels on the ceiling of his stable, and of his teeth upon every. one who approached him, this was pretty well, and in fact, those who really knew ee the animal was could hardly believe their eyes when they saw him under this new character. One of the maxims of the stable which I was taught in my youth, when a rider, was “never to trust a restive horse,’ and wonderful stories are cer- tainly related how horses, supposed to have been tamed, will watch their opportunity for weeks and even months after and do you a mischief some day when you have forgotten their old tricks, but they have not. It is astonishing what a memory horses haye for such things. Whether Stafford’s conversion to goed breeding be as solid as it is sudden, re- mains to be seen; certainly it produced all the etfeot of a miracle upon those who beheld it, and confirmed all parties in their admiration of the American borse-tamer and his wonder- ful powers. Since the above and other oxhi- bitions of the efficacy of the system the oom- mission bas wade its report to the Emperor, who immediately put down his name as a sub- ecriber for 2.000 francs, in testimony of his ad- mirati The terms demanded by Rarey for the communication of his secret are, that a list of 500 subscribers, at 200 franes each, should be filled up. when he will at once proceed to initiate them into the mystery. A letter has been published in the Paris papers, detailing the wonderful effects produced by causing a restive horse to inhale the breath of human lungs, and it is azserted, whether truly or not, Tcannot pretend to say, that some such opera- tion forms the basis of Rarey’s treatment. Arrest or a F. pitioN Ineaty with Prussi Lettera from Paducah to the Missouri Republican say that that usually quiet city was a few days ago throw into quite an excitement by tho arrest of a Prussian subject by the name of Edward Desling. under the extradition treaty existing with that government and the United States, under a charge of forgery and fraud. It ap- pk that Desling, under the assumed name of veroy, had been stopping at the St. Francis Hotel for several days. On Friday, Madame Leroy, a young, handsome and interesting laly, arrived from Chicago and joined her husband at the St. Francis. Following in the train of the unsuspecting lady were four indi- viduals, one of whom had kept an eye upon her every movement since she had left Chica- f The names of the mysterious suite are: Boyer, a New York police officer; Davis, a Chicago detective; Mulkke, an officer of the |e: from Prussia; and Mr. Lapau, a New {ork attorney, who registered his name on the hotel books as Samuel Johnson. The forgery and fraud are said to have been committed by Desling at the city of Cologne, in the kingdom of Prussia, in February, 1507. Itis i to in Desling’s favor that the affida- yits on which he is arrested are false; that he is no forger, but a political refugee, who for- merly belonged to a Republican club, and was compelled to flee to save his head. His friends aver that the King of Prussia has offered $40,000 for his arrest. and that the charge of forgery has been trumped up against him only to secure his arrest under the Extradition treaty, knowing that he could not be legally arrested in this country for a political offence committed in a foreign country. Leroy has filed his declaration of intention to become an American citizen. ‘lwo steamboat captains have both avowed themselves as anti-Prussians, and say that be- fore Leroy sball be given up to the King of Prussia for a mere political offence they will man and arm their mammoth wharf-boats and blow his Majesty and his royal navy into the middle of kingdom come. boasts a boy rivalling that of Naples, is presi- ded over by one Judge W——, who is something of a wag as well as a lawyer.
