ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

Mr. Cyrus Fiehl has received the following offer
from Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., manufacturers of sub-
marine telegraphs :
10. Cannon-street, EC.. London, Oct. 20.
Cyrus W. Field, Esq., Atlantic Telegraph Company.—
Dear reply to your inquiries we beg to state—that
we are perfectly confident that • good and durable subma-
rine cable can be laid direct from Ireland to Newfoundland,
and are willing to undertake the contract upon the follow-
ing conditions :—First, That weshall be paid each week our
actual disbursements for labour and material. Second,
That when the cable is laid and in working order we shall
receive keen, time, servkas, and profit, 20 per not. on the
actual cost of the line, in shores of the company, deliverable
to us in twelve equal monthly nistalments, at the end of
each successive month whereat the cable shall be found in
working order.
We are so confident that this enterprise can be success-
fully carried out, that we will make a cash subscription for
• sum of L 5,000/. sterling, in the ordinary capital of the
company, and pay the calls on the saute when made by the
Annexed we beg to hand you, for your guidance, a list of
all the submarine telegraph cables manufactured and laid by
our firm since we commenced this branch of our business,
the whole mileage of which, with the exception of the short
one between Liverpool and Holyhead, which has been taken
up, is at this time in perfect and successful working order.
The cable that we bad the honour to contract for and is
down for the French government, connecting France with
Algeria. is submerged in water of nearly equal depths to any
we should have to encounter between Ireland and New-
foundland.

You will permit us to suggest that the shore ends of the
Atlantic should be composed of very heavy wires, as from
our experience the only accidents that have arisen to any
of the cables that we have laid have been caused by ships'
anchors, and none of those Laid out of anchorage ground
have ever coat one shilling for repairs.
The cable that we should ■unuet for the Atlantic will be
an improvement ou all those yet manufactured, and we
firmly believe will be imperishable when once laid.
I am, &c., GLASS, ELLIOT, AND CO.
