Report om the seen of the Atlantic Tele- a) « ri - Loxpow, Se tis — [ arrived at Valentia on the eve: the 5th inst., when I found that no words had for many days been received through the cable from Newfoundland. On the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th, I tested the cable. at intervals, in fourfifferent ways, to ascertain its condition. The following are 1. is a fault of great magnitude at a distance of between 245 and 300 statute wiles from Valentia, but the locality cannot be more accurately ascertained uulil a portion of the cable, 20 or 30 miles in length, has been tested against my st ard of revistance, and until the log has been consulted to ascertain the amount of slack paid out. { would suggest that the piece of cable at Greenwich be carefully measured and tested agaivst my standard, in to obtain the most correet estimate of the ‘ance of the fault. Assuming. however, that les, and allowin; per cent. for sleck, it is possible that the chief defect is in shallow water—410 fathome. 2. The copper wire at the faulty place above alluded to does not touch the iron covering of the cable, as is proved by its forming a voltaic element, which gives rise to a continuous posi- tive current from the copper wire varying very Littl tension. 3. insulation of the wire between Valen- tia and the fault is perfect, or at least contains no defect of sufficient importance to be percep- tible, or to materially influence the working were the cable otherwise perfect 4. The copper wire is continuous, and conse- quently the cable has not parted. Faint sig- nals, or reversals,‘are still received from New- foundland, but the power used will shortly eat away the exposed copper wire in the faulty place by electrolytic decomposition The actual resistance of the fault appears to be at least equal to ten miles of the cable, but is most probably greater Taking it at it- lowest resistance, viz.. ten miles, and assuming that Newfoundland is only using 180 cells of Daniel's battery, the strong- estearrent received thence during my stay was only 1-2ith part of the force that it should be were there but this one fault. When it is, however, borne in mind that on the other side they are probably using more power, and also that the defect first alluded to probably offers more resistance than that assumed, viz., ten miles, it is evident that there is another and more distant fault, the approximate locality of which I could not pretend to estimate at this ——— being able to speak to Newfound- lan From authentic data shown to me at Valen- tia Tam of opinion that there was a fault on the Agamemnon before the cable was sub- merged, at adistance of about 560 miles from one ead and 640 from the other. The following are the data in question, but on what oceasion they were obtained [ am un- able to state. They were, however, probably taken when the ships were at Queenstown : Test of coils om board the Agamemnon, con- sestemg of about 1,200 statute miles of cable. 1.

By comparing the above data with those of the now cable now making by Messrs. Glasse and Elliott for the Kieetrie end international Telegraph Company, the amount of current which entered the 1,000 miles of cable when discounected at one end should not @ ex- ceeded 2 or 2-25 parts instead of 7-3 and 8-5 rts. The inference by rough calculation, there- fore, is that there was a iault offering a resist ance eyual to 1.000 or 1,200 miles of cable uated at a distance, about 560 miles ‘from one eud of the 1,200 mile evil on board the Aga memoon. T however, cannot be the fault first alluded to, situate at about 270 miles from Valentia, but may have been the one which caused such alaria when the ships were 500 miles trom [reland and when the signals ceased altogether and never certainly recovered, + It is not at all improbable that the powerful currents from the large induction coits have impaired the insulation. and that had more moderate power been used the cable would still have been capable of transmitting mes- sages. To satisfy wyself on this point, I attached to the cable a piece of gutta percha-covered wire, baving first made a slight incision in the gutta percba to let the water reach the wire; the wire was thea bent so as to close up the defect. ‘The defective wire was then placed in a jug of sea water and the latter connected with the “earth.” After a few signals bad been sent from the induction evils into the cable, and, consequently, into the test wire, the electricity burnt through the incision, rapidly burning & bole nearly one-tenth of an inch io diameter. When the full force of the coils was brought to bear on the tost wire by removing themtrom the cable and allowing the electricity only one ebannel—viz., tga the test wire—the dis- ebarges, as might be expected, burnt a hole in the gutta @ under the water half an inch in length, and the burnt gutta percha came = up to the surface. joregoing experiments prove that when there are imperfections 1m the insula ing ¢oy- ng there is very great danger arising from using such intense currents. _ The size of the present conducting strand is too small to have worked bra rep + the insulation sopad, Withas of larger dimensions less intense currents would VOL. XII. be — and both speed and certainty in- creased. It is not, however, altogether impossible that some intelligible signals may yet be re- ceived through the cable, as stated in my pre- vious communication. C. PF.

A Watering Place Histgry. The ferilletoniste of the Courrter des Etats Unis, in bis last “ Chronique de New York,” after asserting that the present season has pro- duced little but common-place events, (Jana- drtes) gives the following romantic watering- place history : I know a young man (though the history does not belong to the present season) who found bimself engaged one fine mor:-ng, with- out any idea of pei anevent. True, be had flirted « good deal for a week or more with a beautiful young blonde. whom fashionable Pleasure had attracted to Saratoge, Newport, or Sharon, as you will. The name is not of the slightest consequence. ‘lirtation, which is not expressly prohibited in the Devalogue, is a sentimental coin fully current in the United Statee, and its cireula- tion compromises no one. If the trath must be avowed, it had chanced that our hefo one night—one moonless night—enjoyed a conver- sation at the extremity of a dark piazza; and this young gentleman, by accident, perhaps, dropped his head at the moment the young lady in question raised hers, the better to hear what be said. Buta kiss, half-given and half- received, is not a matter of such moment as to require the sanction of marriage e it known, then, that William (I see no impropriety in calling bim William) was petri- fied rather than charmed, the next day, when his partner of the previous night's interview asked him, blushing, if he thought it best to make known therr enzagement at once! dle gave her a look from which the youn lady inferred that she was not understood, a: blushing still more sweetly, repeated the ques- tion. William exhibited no discourteous surprise, bat puton an appearance which indicated that he was deciding whether an immediate public avowal was best, and then Managed to have sume good reasons for postponing the revela- tion until the close of the season; and Nelly promised to keep it a profound secret. That night he retired to his room and medi- tated various schemes for extricating himself from bis embarrassing position. He could ad- mit every plan but one—that of marriage. He bad not decided upon any definite plan, when next night, at the dance, Miss Susan H.. a charming person, who houored him with a friendship bordering upon the sentimental, touched bim lightly on the arm, and said, with a& mysterious air: “Sir, I congratulate you.”’ ““Wherefore?"’ he asked; but she had al- ready glided away in the dance. The matter required an explanation, and du- ring a biatus in the music they went aside and Susan spoke in a serious mood: * “Nelly is my best friend; she h all. Ob, you needn't blush go at th: « In fact William coiored with the idea that his pretended engagement had already been circulated among his intimate friends. edid not direetly deny it, however, but took a meth- od of his own. “Am I really engaged?’ he demanded of Susan. “A beautiful question to ask me!’’ said Sa- san, with the slightest touch of spite. ‘You shall judge my case,” said William “Suppose I repeated here what you have heard a hundred times—a thousand times—that you are beautiful, intelligent and accomplished ; that your eyes are the deep blue of heaven; your lips the transparent red of the coral; your locks the black lustre of the raven’s wing; your neck the grace of the swan, and your sboulders, the whiteness of his plumage—would all this, I ask, constitute an engagement be- tween us ?’” “ Not, certainly.” “And if I should add: The musician loves you for the melody of your voice, the painter for the perfection of your lincaments, the seulp- tor for the model of your—of your arms, the poet for the expression of your glance, the un- fortunate for your goodness of heart, the way for your wit, and I love you for all these, 1’— “* Tait trae that you have said all those pret- ty things to her ’** “Tt is not true. without falsehood.” “ And you never lie?”’ “Never. If I make such an avowal, does it follow that we are to beeome man and wife?’ “T do not think so.”’ “Neither do 1. For example, if upon just such @ night as this, I] take your hand (the taking of the hand was more than a supposi- tion) and say to you: 0 Susan! do you not know how Jong I have loved you? Have you not di- vined it in my words, feit it in my silence, seen itin my looks? Then, do not wait; accept the offer of my heart, which beats only for you; of wy life, which has no other object, if’ I may consecrate it wholly to your bappiness.”” “Ob, shame! sbame!’’ suddenly cried a voice stifled with emotion. The two retreated precipitately. seeing r Nelly, who also hurried to her chamber to Eide her disappointment and her fury. Disturbed at the disappearance of ker supposed affianced, sbe had walked out on the dark piazza, hoping to meet him, and arrived in time to hear his g-liant speech. _ * Heaven! What will she think’*’ exclaimed Susan. The truth!’’ replied William. * r * * told me I could not have said it * The next morning, at breakfast, every one was asking, “Have you heard the pews’ Wil- liam bas broken his engagement.’ But they were deceived ; forin three months he married Miss Susan H—, and the happy pairare now in Italy. ————ore-_______ “Gas.""—Getl.
