THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

We have been favoured with a copy of the
following telegram, received this day from Valenti*,
by Mr. 8. Seward, secretary to the Atlantis
Telegraph Company :
" Newfoundland continues to send us ship signals
as directed, until their instruments for speaking
can be got reedy. Communication has thus been
to this hour maintained regularly.

VALLENTIA, FAIDAT.

The Agamemnon and Valorous left early this
morning for Cork, where they will opal and proceed
to Plymouth. The end of the cable was landed
safely close by the pier at lEnightstown yesterday
afternoon ; the paddle-box boats of Valorous
carrying it, as, the wind being high, it was feared
the Agamemnon might have to pot to sea imme-
diately after a sufficient quantity had been veered
out to reach the land. The end of the cable has
been connected with the company's station, and
the signals of alternate currents in opposite
directions continue through the cable. The currenth
from Newfoundland are very good, giving deflec-
tions of 81 on either side of the galvanometer, ac-
cording as a positive or negative current is
transmitted. The regulating apparatus for trans-
mitting messages through the cable is being fitted
up at each end, that for Newfoundland having been
taken out of the Gorgon, but it will probably be a
few days before they are finally adjusted and ready
for work. The line is expected to be open to the
public in three weeks or a month, when the line
overland to Placentia, Newfoundland, and other ar-
rangements, will have been completed.

QUEENSTOWN, FILIDAT EVENING, 7 r.x.

The Agamemnon and Valorous are now coming
into the harbour. The Nile saluted them with 21
guns, and the Valorous returned salute with seven
guns.

THE FETES AT CHERBOURG.

SPEECHES OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON
AND PRINCE ALBERT.

At the dinner on board the Bretagne, on Thurs-
day, the Emperor gave the following toast:
I drink to the health of the Queen of England, to that of
the Prince who shares her throne, and to that of the royal
family. In proposing this toast in their presence, on board
the French admiral's vessel, in the port of Cherbourg, I am
happy to show the feeling which I entertain towards them.
Indeed, facts speak for themselves, and prove that the hos-
tile passions excited by some unfortunate incidents have
not in any way changed either the friendship
between the two crowns, or the desire of the
people to remain in peso°. I have therefore the strongest
hope that If any attempt should be made to revive the ran-
carve and passion. of a byegone age, the attempt would be
as completely crumbed by the good sem of the two peoples
as the waver are now broken by that breakwater which at
this moment protects the fleets of the two empires.
