THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

CELEBRATION IN DUBLIN.

(ST SILITISM ►ND IRISH MAGNETIC TILEGIATIa
DUBLIN, WIDNISDAT NIOST.

The banquet given by the Lord Mayor of iublin.
to Mr. Bright, Engineer-in-Chief to the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, was a great success. The
assemblage embraced the highest names in the
metropolis—civil, military, and of oial—Cardinal
Wiseman was prevent in fall ecclesiastical costume.
The usual loyal toasts were given and received
with all the ►onours, after which the Lord Mayor,
in proposing the toast of the evening, the health of
Mr. Bright, dwelt with much eloquence on the
achievements of modern science, and paid a marked
and merited compliment to the genius and perse-
verance which, in the face of discouragement from
the scientific world, had succeeded in bringing
shoat the accomplishment of the great undertaking
of the laying of the Atlantic Telegraph.
His lordship's speech was most eloquent, and
highly complimentary to the distinguished guest,
Mr. C. T. Bright. •
Mr. Bright roes amidst loud cheers to respond to
the compliment. Ile thanked the company for
their hearty welcome, and said he was deeply sen-
sible of the honour of having his name associated
with the great work of the Atlantic Telegraph. The
first message, he observed, sent by the airs from
America to England showed strongly the importance
of the work; it was that conveying the information
respecting the oollision between the Europa and
Arabia, and setting at rest all anxiety as to the sub-
ject. Had that information not been conveyed to
England upwards of 60,0001. would have been paid
for insurance on the Europa in consequence of the
I delay in her arrival at her destination. Mr. Bright
observed upon the value of this means of communi-
cation for the prevention of misunderstandings be-
tween the governments of the Great Powers, and
then referred to the sorrier, of those gentlemen who
had been associated with bim in lay ing the cable.
With them he shared the honours done him that
night.
Mr. Bright, who was warmly cheered throughout
his eloquent speech, in °occlusion proposed the
health of Mr. Cyrrs Field, acknowledging in high
terms the services of that gentleman in the great
project.
His Eminence the Cardinal descanted in glowing
language on the new achievement of science which
had been brought to a successful issue under the
able superintendence of Mr. Bright; and he greatly
eulogised that gentleman for his modest appreciation
of his own services to the world of commerce and to
international communication. After paying a com-
pliment also to the Lord Mayor for his good taste in
thus inaugurating in the British dom;niors the first
demonstration of sentiment with regard to the great
work accomplished—he proposed the health of his

Lordship.
The Lord Mayor returned thanks.
The health of Cardinal Wisemen was next pro-
posed, and his Eminence was again most happy in
his reply. In the subsequent tout., the " Railway
Interest of Ireland," in connexion with the Atlantic
Telegraph, was proposed, and eloquently resposead
to by Sir Edward Macdonald and Mr. Ennis, M.P.

The subject of steam packet communication be-
tween the West of Ireland and Amelia' was practi-
cally spoken of by Mr. J. 0. Lever.
The " Press," was responded to by Dr. Gray, of
the Freeman's Juurosol, and Mr. Medway, of the
Liverpool Post, and after several other toasts the
assembly separated.
The

on the whole, was highly sue-
otosfirl, doing credit to the characteristic hospitality
of the Irish mayoralty, and to the great event upon
wFch that hospitality was now exercised.
