On Wednesday the great cable, 24 miles long, and destined, when sunk, between Dover mid Calais, to form the key for electric coininunioatioii between this country and the El.|l't||I"lllI Coiilineiit, was completed at \Vnpping. The first layer is co:iiposed of four electric wires. known as the sixteen wire guage, each encased in a covering of gutta percha; of a quarter of an inch in diaiiieter. These placed in the nnchine, and with the assistaiice ot the ma- llipulaturs, are twisted and plaitod in spiral convolutions in the In.-inner of on ordinary re or cable, round the shaft. The next euperiucumheiit coil to this, consists of hempen yarn, previously I:|lIlI'|IIetI in a reservoir of prepared pitch and tullow, and in its turn is tightly twisted and compressed, iiuperinoably. and by stenni-

nwer, over the gutta percha, and its iiiclesed copper wires. 'l‘liis is overlaid again with a series of licinpen yarns, live or six in num- her, and about an inch in diameter, saturated in pitch and tallow, with the view of what the workmen call “ worming" the gutta perchs. The gutta percha thus protects the delicate wire, nttd the hempen yarn in addition acts as tl ceinentitious material to the more perishable gutta perchzi. which ultimately has thrown over it u co:it of mail of galvanised wire. This completes the first process; and the manufacture ol the rope in the spiral form is for the purpose ofgiving flexibility. The second process consists in hauling off the cable so far completed, and passing it on to another wire-repe m.ichine, where the cord is completely covered over with ten alvanised iron wires, each wire being about the thick- ness ofa end pencil, and known as No. I, galvanised wire gun is. ’.I'his galvanised iron sheathing is to protect and preserve the in- tcrier layers from the action of the sea, and the weiglit is consi- dered to be sullicient to sink the cable or: rrerestilute gravilalii. The appearance of the cable thus completely ciica.-ed in n sliiuing coat of galvanised iron, iind div:-stud of tar and dirt, give it a sil- ver appoaranco. It weight is 200 tons.

Lscaeir. or THE (tut-:i«:N.—\\r'e have received the following coinmuiiication, on which the utmost reliance iiiny be placed, from a gentleman who travelled by the lloyal triiin : —-'l‘lie journey of Her Majesty to the North. was nearly being attended with conse- quences fearful to conteiiiplate, owing to the velocity with which the Royal train was driven over the Newcastle and Berwiclt por- tion oftlie route. As those will remember who have tipproacliod the town of Newcastle over the stupendous bridge and viaduct which

- crosses the Tyne, there a curve of very small radius at the south-

orii entrance. which is continued so as to form the quarter circum- ference of a circle. Of course great caution should be observed in traversing this portion oftlie line on all occasions, but with such ll responsibility as that which devolved on the driver in charge ol' the Royal train. no cure and attention, as regards not only the safety but the feelings ofthe illustrious passengers, could have been ex- cessivc or overcharged. The situation is quite enough to excite ene'a nervous sensibilities, when passing the bridge with all leisure, looking down on the dark waters of the 'I‘yrie, with the sliipping and the house-tops far underneath. \Vliat must have been the sensations of the Royal party when the whole train daslied at great speed upon this narrow curve, and immediately rcceived three suc- ceasive shocks, which were felt distinctly from one end of the tr:iin to the other ? 'I‘hc shocks were caused by the impetus of the train running against the sides of the rails in going so rapidly ‘along the curve. The consequences of a carriage getting off the line are too horrible to think of. Surely it should be enough to make art on- gine--lriver careful. even if he were as rigid as the engine he drove, to reflect, that to Ililll were intrusted the lives of the Queen of En - land, ofthe Prince, oftlio heir to the throne, of the Princess ltoyifi, of her bro'her. and of the Prime Minister, and that he was the guardian for the time, of the present happiness and of the hopes of the nation. It is well to consider whether the Queen and the Prince of \Vules should travel together on such cxcuriions.—Glai- grow Constitutional.

(The following was prepared for our last number, but unavoidably omitted on account ofibe press ofiiiatter consequent on the late gale.)

THE lust ./I Ivcrlizcr says. “ \Vc will call I{riszard’s Gu:clte to witness against itself, that it has thrown the first stone, in the line of writing, which may he called personal.” \Vc appeal to the Public and call it to witness that we have been guilty of iuo personality whatever. It is fortunate for us that he has quoted the obnoxious paragraph, “The whole of the Administra- t\l{),f‘:’;—-— we stute— “ from George Colcs to Edward

. c on are totally and entirely ignorant of the man- ner. in which the duties, their high and responsible position has entailed upon them, should be per-forincd.” Now we. should really like to know, what is there of personality Ifl_IllIS.?' If there. was over it sweeping gcncral assertion, it is the one in question; it is, more- over, the issue that the public are to try and their vci-dict may be expected at the next Gcncrifl Election. In the meantime, as a public opposition joui-mil, \vc will go on, as we have successfully begun, in the matter of the Firewardcns, to prove the truth of our assertions. And we shall continue, if we think lit, to try all the acltioqs “<‘)f_ tho Adtpiinistrutiqln ulpylthe sfttrqle pnc‘;-ring rue eir uccor anco wit e aw o t e an an the principles of the Constitution.” The Administra- tion know, or it must he taught, that from the moment they came upon the public stage in their various characters, from that of President of the Council to that of Queen's Printer, they exposed themselves to the same fate and rendered themselves liable to the same treatmeni that actors on the stage of the drama are exposed and liable to, and it is our unquestioned right, as part of the public, whether our scat be in box, pit or gallery to applaud or to hiss to praise or to cciisurc, just tie it suits our inclinatioii or conviction; nor have they any right to complain so long as we keep our proper place before the scene and Judge and criti- cizc their acting‘ only. It is thd attciiipting clandes- tincly to get behind the scenes, to pry out the private faults and foibles, the little weaknesses in the character of the man, apart from that of the actor, that is mean, despicable, and cowardly. Open criticism, wlicthcr delivered in the theatre and manifested by the clapping of hands, and the thumping of walking-sticks, or signi- fied by the contemptuous hiss, or the more expressive “ Off! Off!" or detailed in the columns of the news- paper or review, is the best safeguard ofpublic morals, and the best corrective of public taste, and as such has ever been sedulously protected. And to this open, bold, manly criticisin we shall always adhci-0, nor shall any thing provoke us to violate the sanctity of domestic life or trespass on the immunities of personal reputa- lioii. VVc have not nor will we write it line, that shall have the least tendency to impugn the moral cliaractor of any member of the cabinet. Many a man of great worth and excellent talents in private life, has tried the boards of both these great stages, and been compelled to retire for want of ability to maintain his footing, rind in such cases though we laugh at and perhaps despise the actor, om: admiration and friendship for the man may be as fresh and miiinpriired as ever. As members of society, we have not only no fault to find with the present ministry, but in some of them, with whom we are on terms of friendship and acqiiaintnncc, we see much to praise and to respect. And while we admit this, we still adhere to our first position, that they have formed in mistaken idea oftlieir own abilities, as states- pneii, tliii.(ti they ure t((pta'l‘|y unfittcd for th: parts they iavo un crta on an t at as soon as t 0 season is over, it new maniiger, witlfit new company, will have to take the stage, and it will be then their turn to sit as critics in judgment upon their successors. In the mean time we shall keep over them and every oftlicm ll. strict surneillancc, and if we find any thing in their iictings, sayings, or doings, as public mcn, deserving of censiifc, we shall not fail to seize hold of it and |iish_the delin- quent or delinquents without the slightest feeling of pity or compunction. So much in reply to the ./Qilizertizer.

With him of the Royal Gazelle we have not, nor will we condesccnd to have any thing in common. But to the public, whose servant for the present we are, a few words of explanation are due.

And we are told. moreover, “That there is more joy over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety and nine just men who need no repentance."

It was our intention to have made some allusion to the attack on the Magistrates and Agricultural Society, in the last Royal Gazette; but we tiiid that we have

been antici ated by a correspondent, “ Observer.” It will be diflihult, we fear, to keep down riot and intem- pci-uncc, where large bodies of men are collected to- gether, until we are able to establish a regular police, armed with a due authority. In the mean time, how- ever, let our Magistrates cope with what is in their power‘, and do their duty in repressing individual scenes of intoxication, where they may be able to carry the law into effect, and they will have done much towards putting down this crying evil. VVe may say, however, on passanl, that it is certainly humorous to tind the ad- vocate of Horse racing opposing Cottle Shows, on the ground of imnioralilgl There are some, who as Hedi- liriis says, “ Compound for sins they are inclined to, By damning those they have no tiiiud to.” *0?

lotion. \Vci'c it not for the circuinstiiiice of the docu- ment appearing in the Royal Gazette we should have supposed it to be a hoax, and ti clever one too, for the purpose of directing the attention of the Executive to the want of a pi-opcr and appropriate copper coinage. Though it bonafide Proclamation, given under the hand of the Lieutenant Governor, and sealed with the Great Seal of the Island, it lies excited as miicli fun and laughter, as if it were really and truly the hoax it ap- pears to bc. llonor where honor is due ! Praise when deserved! and the honor and praise of having discovered, that the Island was possessed of it valuable copper coinage-, capable qflieing rlcprrciatcd, is ccitiiiiily due to the present Adiiiinistriitioii. VVo were totally unaware of the fact, if such it be, and are coinpt-lled to coiifcss, that our i-cscurches into the reality ofthis flat- attciided with niarkod disappoiiitiiit-iit. Out of about culiitioii, and we presume it must be that alluded to in the Proclamation, we found ten Penny pieces, not our-. of which passes current in either Nova Scotin or New Brunswick; of Halfpenny pieces, 11 iiiiinci-ous, tlioiigli not perhaps u very valuable assoi-tincnt, coiisisting of llaliliix riierchunt tokens, most of them issued, to our knowledge, upwards of thirty years since, clcvcn dif- ferent kinds; two of “Canada,” of the issues of I830 and ISII, much smaller and light‘? tlinii those fol- ininatcd against, three Canada iiicrcliniit tokens, thi-cc United States do., one Newfoundland do., couiitci-fc-it English, Irish, and Nova Scotiun in great abundance, besides slinnklcss buttons, plain f)t“tlllltlllI,'_’,'(’lns and iion- dcsci-ipts of all descriptions. In the whole, there were about six or seven Province of Nova Scotia genuine, one New Brunswick do., and ti solitary Aim-ricun cent. Not one British coin in the whole lot ! the Raps, that, instead of being nailed to the counter, are taken under the immediate protection of the Exe- cutive Council of Prince Edward Island. Degraded and disgraced, discarded and dismissed from all civilized society, they have found their way to the hospitable shores of Prince Edward, and may now boast of being what they never were before, the It-g'ili'uiri.lcil coin of one of Her Majcsty’s British Colonies.
