Tike Hew Atlaiflftc Cable. During tha last few days, the Tele? graph Construction and Maintenance Company have begun in real earnest, little had been done since the return of the expedition in August last, as there was no reason why the cable should be ready very much sooner than it will be needed. The Great Eastern still lies at her moorings in the Medway, with the remainder of last year's cable on board; and this will again be used during the present year, when that part of the cable which will have then enjoyed a twelve? month's rest on the bed of the Atlan? tic will be grappled for. Capt. Ander? son will once more have charge of [the big ship, and he will again have the invaluable assistance of Mr. Halpin, the chief officer. Mr. Can 1 ning and Mr. Clifford will be, as in last summer, in charge of the laying of the cable, and Mr. DeSauty will be again in ?> ' -.arge of the electrical department. ' Vhus, so far as skill goes, there is everything in favor of the success of the coming expedition, which will set sail in the beginning of June, bearing with it the good ' wishes of all Europe. As at present arranged, the Great Eastern will carry the new cable, will lay it to New? foundland, will there coal and return to the mid-Atlantic, "where she will, with her consorts, grapple for the lost end, tho locality of which can be as? certained within a quarter of a mile " through the observations taken last summer by Capt. Anderspr?-asd Capt. l^3fiTrf???I5!IB'%X '.?HjiUt rtffcended that the ^part of the old J^ble which now hes in the Great Eastern's tanks shall be again stowed in her hold on the out? ward trip. It will be carried in an ! other vessel until it is needed. The grappling will b"*> ?sone in this way: Three vessels, including the Great Eastern, will be provided with grap? pling apparatus. Last year, it may be remembered, the grappling was done with make-shift appliances. In fact, the grappling hues were only buoy ropes, and the swivels which broke while the cable was being hauled up were uever intended to bear any such strain as that to which they were subjected. In the new grappling tackle, there will be no swivels; perhaps even no shackles. Each line will be, if possible, in one piece, certainly not in more than two, joined together by a strong shackle. There is, therefore, little fear that if the cable is grappled, of which there can be no reasonable doubt in the mind of any one con? versant with the subject, it will be brought to the surface. And there is the more probability of this, be use the cable will be grappled in ree places, at intervals of about two miles. One vessel will grapple, and, if necessary, cut her ends by means of a steel blade set in the grappling iron; the middle ship will haul up, and the third vessel will also raise the cable to lessen the strain. There will, therefore, be three bights on the cable, or two bights and an end, and this end will be prevented from slipping by the formation of the grappling iron in which the cable will be jammed. No one connected with the project appears to entertain the slighest doubt about the success of this section of it. When the end is recovered, and a message sent through to Valentia, as a test of the electrical condition, the splice will be made with the cable now lying in the Greast Eastern, and then all will be plain Bailing, except in case of an? other accident similar to that of last year, when all would have to be done over again; but this would be the worst damage. If one grappling is successful, there.is no reason why a second should not be, and even a third and a fourth, if it should come to that. The laying of the old cable may, therefore, be considered a cer? tainty, so far as anything about cable layine can be certain. But hope de? ferred 'will probably not make sick the hearts of shareholders beyond next July. The new cable, which is to.be laid first, is very different in not fa is no dark composition soaked into the Manilla hemp which forms the covering of the outer wires, this cable is identical with the last. So far, however, as strength goes, the new rope will bear a strain of from fifteen hundred weight to a ton more than that of last year; and, as is ob? vious, this additional strength may just make the diff?rence between breaking and holding, if it should unfortunately be necessary to haul back to the ship at any time. The reason why it is possible to dispense with the composition for coating is, that in the new cable the outer or protecting wires are galvanized. About one hundred and sis ty miles of the new cable have been already made, and when all the machinery , is set to work, as it soon will be, the manufacture will proceed at the rate of one hundred miles per week. By working over-time, this immense speed could be nearly doubled; but of course over-time will be avoided, if possible. In all departments of the machinery, the capacity has been much increased, since last year. For instance, there are double the num? ber of tanks which hold the core of the cable; and there is one new ma? chine, which alone turns cat four miles per day of completed cable. [London Herald, Feb. 27. JOHN BULL INCLINED TO PAY UP. We see by recent advices from Eu? rope that Lord Clarendon is now anxious to re-open the Alabama dis? cussion, aud come to some definite set? tlement. A short time ago, the noble Lord declared that this subject was "exhausted"-as his side of it was and his anxiety to discuss it again simply means that, in view of the possible contingencies of the Fenian question, John Bull is pretty nearly i eady to pay our little bill in hard cash. But, on the whole, we sec no reason for pressing our claims just at present, and we cannot allow Mr. Bull to settle with us so soou. He is a good' debtor; he has plenty of real and personal estate in all parts of the world, and as our mortgage upon his property brings us a very good in? terest, and eau be foreclosed at any time we wish, it is merely a matter of prudence on our part not to let him pay us oft' when we really do not need money and could not invest it to such excellent advantages anywhere else. ]New York Herald. The Matamoras Ranchero, of the 27th ult., says that a railroad is to be built from San Francisco to Monte? rey, so as to have a port entirely and unmistakably within Mexican terri? tory, and rapid communication with it. The port will probably be at the Farra de Jesus Maria, not many leagues South of Bagdad. VIOLIN AND GUITAR STRINGS. SPLENDID assortment-selected with special care bv myself. At E. FOULARD'S.
