THE PRACTICABILITY OF THE WORK. Although the first attempt to iay the submarine cable horose the Atlantic was unsuccessful, ita practicability was mort satisfactorily proved to all who participated tn the work. The great deptba of the ecoan had been reached, ‘ang !t was found that the paying out procers was perform ed with much greater faciiity than attended the operation while the vease! was passing over the sballow soun tings. That our readers may see and judge for themselves the froands upon which our belief that the cable will be suc cessfully iid thie summer rests, we present a roview of the mort prominent featares of the last expedition, and the present condition and prospects of tho enterprise. THR MACHINERY. ‘Those who are acquainted with the causes of the failure tant yor will be familiar with the charactor of the ma- chinery which was constructed and placed on board the Niagara and Agamemnon for the laying of the cabie, but te understand some of the festures of it, it was necessary to see the whole affair in opera. Mon. Thowe on board the Niagara bad no op portunity of knowing bow it would work til! the last mo- ment. Tt was only when the ship was on ber way from Gork to Valentia that it waa tried, and that trial wae so ‘apastiafactory that al! who witnensed it felt confient it would cause the failure of the enterprise. Before this, however, it# appearance and ponderous dimensions were ‘caleniated to give rise to the most serious misgivings. Thore apprehensions were increased by the experiments that wore made subsequently, and in the socoant of which (afterwards published in the Hexaun) it was _ Pemarked that if the brakes were applied they would snap the cable likes pipe stem. Tho result bas proved how well found y Were, and the necessity of 80 far modify ing the machinery as to prevent the pos) (ity of fracture of the cable from the same cause. Me modifications which have been proposed in the pay (mg owt machinery are to be made in the form of the Drakes and in the depth of the sheaves, which are too shallow by several inches. Twice the cabdle slipped of the wheels in consequence of this defect in the machine ‘and the accumulation of tar, which had become hardened im the sheaves by exporure to the air. deopening the shesves oF grooves and substituting @ fe Aan whieb, in- saeed Of stopping tee Wheels willact as a partial check on sho speed of the cable, and which will at the samo time be no perfectly unger the control of the operative that itcan bo veleased fay momens, the paying out machine may be employed with every fucores, Although pos- neesing this modification in the form of the brakes, the re. wait has proved that it wowld be mach better and safer to eee eet on of the stip should it be found thet in pe Process thero is a greater expenditure of tne cable than the eurplos allowed woud warrant. Tho brakes, however, should only be used when absolutely necessary. Under every circumstance it would however ir preferabie to increase the ship's ratner i resort t& the braker epecia'ly in a eary swell the application of them i® aimost always attended with r, for when the strain is taken off the cable by the falling of the ship's stern im the ena it has the effet of topping the wheels and of breaking the cable, as occur. red on the fatal morning of the Lith of August. On that pocaaion, it may be remembered, the fractare was cause. by applying the brakes just ander sack circumstances, #0 —— tifat when the stern rose again with the swell, the waecls having been stopped by the pressure of the Drakes, the whole weight of the ship, which at tha time wns going at peed of four miles per hour, was brought upon the cable. One of two things muss have ovourred ia this emergency—elther the oable must have been abla 1 hola the ship while going at thia rate, or tho whoels must bave revolved #0 as to allow the cable to rua out them from the coil. Now the cable was uot strong wh to bola the Niegara, nor would it have been wero it fifty times stronger, and 80 the only chance was in the revolving of the wheels; but here the braxes interfered, and the strata coming upon it broke it “Ilke @ pipe etem ” The moment the brakes were used the wheels stopped, and aij the men that could bs employed on them would not have bee abie to have turned them in time to pre- vent the of the cable. It is true they had been stopped several times previous to this by the ill judyed use of the same appliances, aud the only wonder is that the cable was not breken before; but the fatal termine. thon was doubtiess delayed by the rapidity with which the men went to work in turning the wheels. In this case, however, promptuess availed them novhing, for the breaking ‘was instantaneous with the rising of ‘the ship’s stern There is one point morewhicl fore dismissing this part of th: hject. The rising and sinking of the stern of the ship has been spoken of in con- vection with the fracture the cable, and there is no dowbt now that the chief engineer wili take this feature into serious consideration. No hip could be steadier in a beavy gale tban tha Niagara bas proved herself to be but it would be absurd to deny that abe is free from that piching motion to which every vorse) is subject. It waa apparent ip the process of \aying the cable that from the action of the waves {t was at times sudject to a much greater strain than at others—that is, that the strain was not at all timer uniform. This will be easily understood by those who bave been on board a ship in a heavy sea. e descent of the stern had the effect of partiaily relear- ing the cabie from the strain, and the wheels also relieved at the same time from the pressure or forse under which they hed previously revolved, did not turn with the same rapidity, and in a beavier sea might have entirely ceared to revolve. Suggestions bave been made from various quarters, re commending the buoyirg up of the cable, at intervals of from twenty-five to a bundred miles, so that in the event of its fracture there wilt be no difficulty in recovering and splicing it; Dut this plan ls open to #0 many objections that it is not probable it will be adopted. In the first place, it would require the frequeat stoppage of the voe- sel t attach the’ buoys, apd this alone would bring a straip upon the cable sufficient to endanger ite safety. In the second place, even if the buoys were successfully at- tached the greatest difficulty would be experienced in paying out from each buoy so attached, for the fr-t three or four miles, and as the continuance of this process would necessitate its repetition once in every Atty miles, unt pe oftener, the danger in laying must he in creased in a vropertionate degree. There are, however, other objections just as potent as these, cuch as the drift- ig ef .he buoys and the immense expenditure of the cable which would be required in tae operation. Having shown the defects of the machinery omployea, we will cow give a description of the kind which has received the favorable consideration of Mr. Everett, the eaginoer of the company. In this machinery the object has hoon to avotd the defecte which ware made so apparent io that referred to. The following eugraving pregente a.corract view of the payrg out machine, which may, however, he nomewhat modrtied before its finn! adoption; ‘And here’ w derire to express our gratification at the care and procay tons that have been taken to secure the beat that caa he constructed, and to submit it to every test thas may bo necessary to this end :— THE PAYING OUT MACHINE AND ONE OF THE CABLE CIKOLES. r: ma | it | AA.

To render the process of paying out perfectly clear to our readers, we have presented not only the machine jisel@but tho coil from which the eable is drawn out over the sheaves. These sheaves, indicated dy Ogares AA, are four and half feet in diameter, and have three grooves, cach of which is five inches deop. The grooves in the first machine were so shallow that the cable twice slipped out of them. In this case however the defect has been obviated and the diMflcalty hich war caused by the accumulation and hardening of tar in the grooves will be avoided by having each sheave well oiled. The cable passes round and round these wheels, or sheaves as they are technically termed, aod the action of which is covtrotied by three self-releasing brakes, These brakes are not yet made, but a# they piay ‘& moet important part in the work, every care and ‘hea. ‘ion will be given to ensure their perfect construction and reliability. The ure of these brakes will prevent, under any circumstances, an excers of strain being brought ap on the cable above the maximum decided on.

THE CABLE. Almost all concar in expressing thetr confidence in the perfect maitability of the cable, while they unite in con- demnation of the machinery. Various objections were urged against |t before the last expedition started, but tho result has shown how unfounded @uch objections were. Tt was anid that it would never bear the strain, that it wae too Weak, that it war too light, that it was too heavy, and that the outer wire covering should be twioe as strong. ‘The fact i, too much praise cannot be bestowed upon it~ it if © great cable and has passed through tho ordeal to which it has been subjected in magnificent style. Three or four times when the brekee were applied and the wheels stopped. it held on with a terrible tenacity ; it had a ate stroggle with the brakes before it parted and if it had snytting like fair play, it would have held on to the end. In the harbor of Valentia it proved ite strength by bearing weight, aad ia the n easily into two thousand as into two hoadret fathoms to prevent any coats ton to be about forty weter, ip fact with much more ease. Under proper Danagement it dit rotexh'bit the slightest tamdensy kink, and when subjectea to tae teverest strain the aloo trical conducwor was always true to its function. When ibe ‘racture occurred ita Rtrength was teated by attaching & piece of 1ron, weighing two hundred and fifty pouads, te & levgth of shres mi'ea avd towing it after the shio; for seven oF eight houre this weight was dragged throngh the water, the abip goivg at the rate of about nive miles por hour, and there ix no knvwing how much jongor it might have beld bad. it not been cut. During this time piece of iron mast have been kicking up @ tremendous rumpes on the telegraph plateau, as it plunged and knocked about in its nine mile rate along the bottom. No change will de made in the cable, ag it ta not poasi- dle now to suggest any improvement init, In the next expedition, therefore, the same cable, with an additional eight or pine bundrad miles—making thr.¢ thousand milee altogerher-—ewiil be ured again. As ‘he dietance be- tween Valeptia, Ireland, and Trivity Bay, Newfoun‘tluad, is 1,684 miles, the will give a surplus of more than four- teen bundred miles over the actual length required. This in considered amply sufficient to make up for the exces sive expenditure of cable that may occur in the press of yimg out, and we have n» doubt that when the work eball have been accomplished there will be three or four hundied miles of cable remaiving. THE CABLE SHIPS. When the Niagara arrived in the Thamos last May ! ‘Was feared, on account of what some called ber “peculiar Construction,” that he was unsuited for the reception or loying of the cable, and is may be remembered that j Was proposed to substitute the St. Jean d’Acre, @ British Propeller of 101 guns. It was contended that there was not sofficient space in any one part of her hold for coiling it, and that to divide ft into separate coils would greatly increase the rieks to be encountered in the process of pay- ing out, But all these objections were overcome, and it Was found ob @ proper cxamination of the vessel that she was pot only large enough, but that there was abundance of space to spare. Still it was asserted that one coll was Detter, although the advantage derived from the distribu. tion of weight by dividing the cable into four or five parts ‘was 80 obvious. ‘he only objection which coula be urged with any reason against this plan was that based on the opposed difficulty to be encountered in the change of the cable from one coil to another, bat which was proved by actual demonstration in the paying out procees to be no difflonlty atal. The great advantage, in fact, which the Nj 4 possesses over other veerels, when her capacity for stowage of the cable is considered, is in the much greater height between decks, while her steadinasé may be partially attributed to its division and distribution into so many coilx. This has been made 80 apparent, that in the coiling of the cab.e on board the Agamemnon hereafter it will be divided in the same manner, So tar then, it is proved that the argu. ments which were used in opposition to the employ ment of the Niagara were upsupported by the facts. iB 18 not all, however, for those who had opposed her at first, became afterwards her warmest admirers, and now firmly beheve that she is better fitted for the work than any other vessel. All the Cantatn’s officers and men of the telegraph sgnadron bave borne testimony to her effi. cency and the admirable manner in which she has worked Curing the post critical momenta. For a whole hour and three quarters she was kept in the one spot, holding on by a bawser, while the shore end of the cable was being sp.tced.

The friends of the late Mr. Steers will be to bear of this.and ef the bigh estimation in which this his last and greatest work is held on the other side of the water, notwithstanding the prejudice with which she was at first regarded. THE ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY+ Tt was feared, that in consequence of the strain which ‘was at times brought upon the cable, the continuity or ¢lectrical connection would have been destroyed; but curing the laying of the whole 344 miles the conductor re- mained perfect. At one time for two bours anda half no signal was received through the cable, and as the cause could not be explained, it was genorally be.ieved that the continuity bad ceased on account of the fracture of the core or conductor, and everything had been prepared for the winding in of the cable, with the view ¢f discovering the fractured part, when, suddenly and unexpectedly, it was found that the femme ge 2 which was apparently broken, ‘was restored and the signals were passing throu, the conductor.

TRE CURRENTS, A great dea) bas been said about the currents, and much misapprehension existe with regard to tho part which they were supposed t play in the laying of the grost submarine cable. It te bo. lieved, contrary to the assertion of thore who ought to know—contrary to the facta established by Licutevant Berryman, of the United States steamer ‘Arcue, and Liewtenan! or Cyclops, that the whole flan teem counection in Ireland eat Newfound. wae om currents; and that trovertibte svitonee wheb z j the upon this that aba that the only current shallow current whic! pee which @ ‘the thip, the no effect except the redoed rate of two oF three miles affords another argument in sa already stated in favor of PAYING OUT IN THE GREAT DEPTHS.
