, Not-disheartened" by the annoying failure' of the expedition last year, the Atlantic iTelegraph Company have just sent -off the Great Eastern to make another attempt to lay the cable. Profiting, by the. experience . of last summer, the various apparatus required have been carefully constructed, and great hopes are entertained of a successful, result to the expedition. Th« Great Eastern will lay the cable much slower than - last" year, to avoid all strain. If the result is, a success tile great ship is to coal in -Newfoundland, and then to "proceed'to grapple, for theend of the cable at. the point that it was' lost before. Mouths are to be spent, if necessary, in this search. We wish the- Company every suc,cesß in their undertaking.."' ■'"• '
