Aftor this Mr. Field's whole time woa taken up and given was actively engaged in the construction of tho land live of telegraph in Newfoundland, aud in the two attempts to lay the submarioe cable betweon Cape Ray and Cape Breton, In 1654 and 1856 be visited England for the further prosecu- tion of his schemes, which were so far snccesaful that fn 1557 an attempt was made to liy a cable across the Atlantic ocoan, which fatled through the antagonism of the elements. Nothing dansted, Mr. Field at ouce sct to work fo prepare himself for another tiial. De could vot dishearten him. e knew bis project was feasiblo and be clung to it with tonacity. This was not so with the Directors of the Company; where the esble was lost last yoar, recover tho end wnd com- they waro for abandoning the enterprise, bat upon the airival 4 and Newfoundland, sud | of My, ¥ield at London, whiter be st once repaired, ho st Dbefore the Directors the prospects and condition of the enter. prise.

Yo 1822, after on experimental trip in the Bay of Diseay, & second atterapt was made, which was also uusuccessful, as was o third- “Che fourth was trigmphant, and America and Eugland were nelghbors, Messages were sent to and fro. Queen Victorls congratulated the Preaident, and tle President congratulated Queen Victoria, But, alas! this did not last; nows came that continuity was destroyed, and to all intents aud purgoses the cable was nseless. Even this did not deter Mr. Field from makiog another at- tompt, but it was after lapse of seven years. During the whiole of tbis tiwe be had beeu workio, ergetically for this ohject, whieti was so far crowned with success that in the cummer of 1665 the laging of 1he cable was egalu attempted, but resulted disastronsly.
