Field was fitly honored in Now York on tho ovoning of tho 15th, with a hanquot, ginpn hy tho members of tho Ohnmbor of Com merce, as a tribute to bia oxcrtions in the laying of the Atlantic Cabio. Mr. Field, in a long and interesting address, gnvo a history of tho undertaking, interermrscd wit i many incidonts Ulustrativo of tho difficulties over come and tho indomitable porsovoranco by which auccoss was achieve :1. Tho enterprise was shown to havo boon of pure ly American origin, tho plan having been coucoiv ?d and considered thirteen years ago, whon about half a dozon gentlemon mot at Mr. Field's resi dence, and tiloso who carno first to the work stood by it to the ond. It was not till 185G that tho en terprise had any cxiutonco in England, and thon tho British Government bogan that generous courso which it haB continuod over since. Tho ex peditions of 1857 and tho two of 1858 wcro Joint efforts, but for tho timo thoy ondod in failure. Whon tho sciontifio and engineering problems woro solvod wo took heart again, and oegan to proparo for a fresh attempt. This was in 186*3. In this country-though tho war was still raging-I ?went from city to citv, holding inootingB and try ing to raiso capital, but with poor success. Mon carno and listened, and said "it was "all very fino," and "hoped I would succeed," but did nothing. In one of those citios thoy gave mo a largo meeting, and passed somo beautiful resolutions, and ap pointed a committee of "solid mon" to canvass tho city, but I did not got a solitary subscriber. Li this city I did bettor, though monoy carno by tho hardest. By personal solicitations, onconragod by you, sir, and other good frionda, I succeeded in raising ?70,000. ?Since ndt many had faith, I must pr?sent ono example to tho contrary, though it was not till a year later. Whon almost all deemed it a hopeloss scheme, one gentleman of this city carno to mo and purchased stock o*f tho Atlantic Telegraph Company to tho amount of $100,000. That was Mr. Loring Andrews, who is boro this evoning to boo his faith rewarded. But at the time I speak of, it was plain that our main hopo must Ile in England, and I wont to London. Thor too it dragged hoavily. There was a profound discouragement. Many had lost before, and wero not willing to throw moro monoy into the Boa. Wo needed ?000,000, ond with our utmost efforts wo had raised less than half, and there tho enterpriso stood in a doad lock. It was plain that wo must havo holp from some now quarter. I look ed around to find a man who had broad shoulders, and coidd carry a heavy load, and who would bo a giant in tho cause. It wbb at this time I was in troduced to a gontleman, whom I would hold up to the American public as a specimen of a great hearted Englishman. Air. Thomas Brassey. You may never have hoard his name, hut in London ho is known as one of tho mon who havo made British enterpriso and British capital felt in all parts of the earth. I went to seo him, though with fear and trembling. Ho received me kindly, but put me through such an examination as I nover had before. I thought I was in tho witness box. He asked mo ovory possible qnostion, but mv answers . satisfied him, and ho onded by saying "it was an enterpriso which ought to ho carried out, rnd that ho would be one of ten men to furnish tho monoy to do it." This was a pledge of 60,000 pounds ster ling 1 Encouraged by this noble ofier, I looked about to find another such man, though it was almost Uko trying to find two Wellington-?. But ho was found in Mr. John Pondor, of Manchester. I went to his office one day in London, and we walked together to tho House of Commons, and before wo g ', there ho said he would take an equal share with Mr. Brassey. The action of theso two gentlemen was a turn ing point in the history of our enterprise. For it led shortly after to a union of the well known firm of Glass, Elliott & Co. with the Gutta Pordia Com pany, making of the two ono grand concern known as the "Telegraph Construction and Maintenanco Company," which included not only Mr. Brassey and Mr. Pondor, but other mon of great wealth, such aa Mr. George Elliott and Mr. Barclay, of London, and Mr. Henry Bowley, of Dublin;' and which thus reinforcod with immenso capital, took up the whole enterpriso in its strong arms. Wo needod, I havo said, ?600,000, and with all our ef forts in England and Amorica, wo had raised only ?285,003. This now company now carno forworu and offerod to tike tho whole remaining ?315.000 besidos ?100,000 of the bonds, and to make its own S routs contingent'on success! Mr. Richard A. lass was made Managing Director, and gavo en ergy and vigor to all its departments, boing ad miraby seconded, by tho Secretary. Mr. Snulor. Mr. Glass has been recently knighted for his ser vices in carrying out the. Atlantic Telegraph-an honor which ho most justly deserves. Mr. Field thus referred to tho doparturo of the Great Eastern, July 15th, 1805, on her memorable voyage: For a week all went well; wo had paid out 1200 milos of cabio, and had only COO mdea farther to go, when hauling in tho cable to remedy a fault, it partod and wont to tho bottom. That day I can nover forget-how mon paced tho deck in despair, looking out on tho broad uca that had swallowod up thoir hopes; aud then how tho bravo Canning for uino days and nights draggod tho bottom of tho ocean for our lost troasure. and though ho grappled it three times, failed to bring it to the Burfoco. The story of that expedition, as written by Dr. Russoll, who was on board tho Groat East ern, is one of tho most marvellous chapters in tho wholo history of modorn ontcrpriBO. Wo roturncd to England defeated, yet full of resolution to begin tbo battle anew. Measures wore at once taken to make a Bccond cable, and fit out a now expedition, and with that assurance I carno home last autumn. In December I wont back again, whon, lol all our hopes had sunk to nothing. Tho Attorney General of England had given his written opinion that wo had no legal right, without a speoial act of Parliament (which could not bo obtained under a yoar), to issue tho now 12 per cent, shares, on which wo relied to raiBO our capital. ThiB waa a terrible blow. Tho works woro at once stopped, and tho money which had been paid in returned to tho Bubsoribora. Buch was the state of things only ton months ago. I reached London on tho .24th of Decembor, and the next day waa not a "merry Christmas" to mo. But it waa an inex pressible comfort to havo the counsel of such mon as Sir Daniel Gooch and Sir Richard A. Glass, and to hoar stouthoartcd Mr. Brassey toll us to go ahead, and if need woro ho would put down ?60,000 moro. It was finally concluded that the best ?course was to organize a now company, which should u-uumo the work, and so originated tho Anglo American Tolograph Company. It was formed by ton gontlomon who mot around a tablo in London, and put down ?10,000 apiece. I hopo tho o-collont Soorotary of this company, Mr. Doano, who carno with us across tho ocean, will write its history, and tell the world what life and vigor woro ?omprisodin its Board of Directors. Tho grea? ' Tolegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, undaunted by tho failuro of last year, answorod ub with a B-bacription of ?100,000. Boon after the books wore opened to tho publie, through tho omi - nont banking house of J. 8. Morgan & Co.. and in fourteon days wo had raised tho wholo ?600,000. Then the work bogan again, and went on with ?upo ort. Novor was greater onorgy infused into any ?enterprise. It was only the first day of March that itho new company waa formed, and was registered as a company tho noxt day, and yet such was the vigor ana dispatch that in fivo months from that ?day tho cable nad boon manufactured, shipped on the Groat Eastern, strotchod across tho Atlantic and was Bonding messages, literally swift as light ning, from continent to continent. Tho noxt offort was tho rocovery of tho old cabio with the doop-8oa grapnols: At first it was a little awkward to fish in snob .deep water, but our men got usod to it. and soon ?could cast a grapnel almost as straight as an old whalor tljrowB a harpoon. Our fishing line wa8 of formidablo sizo. It waa mado of ropo, twisted with wires of stool, so as to bear a strain of thirty tons. It took about two hours for tho grapnel to roach bottom, but wo could toll whon it struck. I often wont to tho bow and sat on the rope, and could feel by tho quiver that the grapnel was dragging on the bottom two milos undor us. But it waa a very slow business. We had storms and calms, and fogs and squalls. Still we worked on day after day. Once, on tho 17th of August, we Sol tho cabio up and had it in full sight for ve m-Mites, a long, slimy monster, fresh from the ooze of the ocean's bed, but our men -bogan to cheer ho wildly that it eiwrned to be frightened, \ and snddonly broke away and wont down into the HO-. This accident kopt na at work two wooka longor; but finally, on the last night of Angxiet, wo caught it. Wo bad cast the grapnel thirty times. It waa a little boforo midnight on Friday night that wo hooked tho cabio, and it was a little aftor midnight Sunday morning whon wo got it on board. What was tho anxiety of thoso twonty-six hours ? Tho strain on ovory man's Lifo waa liko tho strain on tho cabio itnoif. Whon finally it ap~ poorod, it was midnight: tho lights of tho ship, and in tho boats around our bows, as thoy ilasbod in tho faoos of tho mon, showed thom eagerly watching for tho cabio to appoar on tbo water. At length ft was brought to tho surface. All who woro allowed to approach crowded forward to soo it. Yot not n word was spokon, only tho vo?cob of the of-ccra in command Ml heard giving orders. All folt as if lil- and death hung on tho i:i8U0. It was oi?y whon it was brought o vor tho bow and on to tho deck that mon dared to broatho. Even thou thoy hardly boliovcd thoir oyoa. Homo crept toward it"to fool of it, to bo sine it was Uioro. Then wo carried it ulong to tho electrician's roo-n, to soo if onr long Bought for ti .usure -was alive Or dead. A fow minutes of suspenso, and a flanh told of tho lightning currant again sot freo. Thon did tho feeling long pont up burst forth. Our two cables do thoir part woll. Tlioro aro no way stations between Ireland and Newfoundland, where me.eagos havo to bo repeated, and tho lightning never lingors moro than a Bocond in tho bottom of tho sen. To those who feared that thoy might be used up or wear out, I would say, for thoir relief, that tho old cabio works a littlo hotter than tho now ono, but thut ifl because it 1ms boon down longer, as timo improvM tho quality of gutta porcha. I3ut tho now ono is constantly growing hotter. To show how delicate aro theso wondorful cords, it is enough tostato that thoy can bo workod with tho smallest battery powor. When tho first cabio was laid m '53, electricians thought that to senda current two thousand miles it must bo almost lilio a stroke of lightning. But God was not in the oarthquako, but in tho still small voice. Tho othor day Mr. Latimor Clark telographod from Ireland across tho ocean and back again, with ?. battery formed m a lady's thimblo 1 And now Tur. Collett writes me from lloart's Content : "I L.i vo just sent my compliments to Dr. Gould, of Ci> -luritlgo, who is at Valentia, with abattory coiiiposed of a gun cap, with a strip of zinc, cscUcu by a drop of water, the simple bulk of a tear 1" A telegraph that will do thal, wo think noarly porfoct. It lins never failed for an .hour or a minute. A word about fho tariff. Complaint has been made that it was so high no to be very oppressive. I bog all to remember that it is only threo months and a half sinco tho cabio wns laida It was laid at a groat cost and a grout ri_k. Different companies liad sunk in thoir attempts twelve millions of dol lars. It was still au experiment, of which tho re sult was doubtfid. This, too, might provo another costly failure. Even if successful, wo did not know how long it would work. Evil prophets in both countrios predicted that it would not last a month. If it did, wo wcro not sura of having moro than ono cable; nor how much work that one could do. Now these doubts arc rosolvcd. Wo have not only one cable, but two, both in working order; and wo find instead of five words a minute, we can send fiflcon. Now wo arc freo to reduco the tariff. Accordingly it has boon cut down ono-half, and I hope in a fow months wo can bring it down to one quarter. I am in favor of reducing it to tho lowest Iioiut at which wo can do the business, keeping tho ines working day and night. And then-if tho work grows upon us so onormously that wo cannot do it-why wo must go to work and lay moro cables. COMMERCIAL. Export?.
