THE 4TLAIVTIO TELIGHAPH.

The first despatch containing general public in-
telligence transmitted by the Atlantic Cable from this
country to America was printed in the New York mini of
August 27. It we. ample and comprehensive, and Included
intelligenos of high importance, and u showing what has
beat done and rosy still be expected, is worth re-pabilshing.
It wee es follows

"Irelands, Wednesday, August 26.

ceived from China.

which England and France obtain all their domande, inchtd-

" TIN screw steam ship North American, with the Cana-
dian foal* woo to leave Liverpool to-day for Quebec and
Montreal; and the United States roan steam ship Fulton,
kw New York, wee to be despatched from Southampton

The above despatch was received at Trinity Bay at about
alas o'clock on the night of the 24th, and would have been
hero in ample WWII for publication in next morning's
papers bad the lines in Nova &oda not closed at nine o'clock.
We understand that after the cable is opened kw baguets all
the land lines will remain open night and day, and the
speedy laying of the cable from Placentia Bay, N.F., to
Sydney, N. 8., or to Portland, Me., will obviate much of the
daisy and uncertainty in transacting business between New
York and Trinity Bay.

The editors of the New York pews, Weiser note of this
istlefeatory ennonnoemsat of pesos with Chins, found fault
with the Valenti' telegrapher for mends( to state what woe
tha diet of this food news upon Cowls and cotton. The
Now Ink IVAN observes :

" There is still a feeling of diaappointmeat, and we do not
think it at all en unreasonable one, that the electricians will
waist, for no good reason whatever, to deny the public the
kaowledip of the length of time which is required to transmit
a Temp from Valentin Bay to Cyrus Station. The
despatelese from Valenti& should be dated at the hour when
the operators oommenoe sending them over and until this
shall be done there will be a feeling of dii:ppointment and
impatiesoe, on the pert of the publics at beteg deprived of
what they feel they have a right to know."
Mr. Mord, an assistant in the United States Comet Ber-
m, left New York on the 24th of August for Trinity Bay,
to ascertain when the telegraph cable may be used for the
purpose of determining longitude. Mr. Hilgard will remain
peg aweigh at Cyrus Station to satisfy himself as to the
capabilities of the cable for transmitting signals as rapidly as
will be required for his observations. There was, however,
GYM thus much doubt as to the posetbility of obtaining
results at all practicable for scientific purposes, until the
apparatus then in use should be more perfected, as the trans-
mimic& appeared to be too slow. Until the ticking of a clock
can be marked, nothing can be done in this way.
The aorrespredent of &tenders' News Letter, writing from
the mew of . the late bouquet at Killarney, says:—" It le
understood to be the opinion of some of the leading eloetri-
dens in cionnazion with the company that the defect exists
et • &ammo, at least 300 miles from the shore. Were it
withhr • range el 100 miles it is believed that the injury
would be capable of remedy, but of course in the deep sea
paticee the catastrophe must be incenedlable so far as the
editing amble is concerned. Bach • remelt would be the
more to be deplored from it. taking place in the moment of
gratulation and triumph, but the anticipatiou of the Viceroy
will doubtless be realised, that " even if the present venture
should be unsuoosidul In maintaining its place, the energy
end enterprise of the people of this country will not allow it
to die away."

TWO NBli FULLED BY A RAILWAY =ALP.

An inquest was held at Spennytuoor, on the 7th
instant, before Wm. Trotter, Esq., on the body of John
Hall and John Canithard, whom deathe occurred under the
&Wang painful circumstances :
It appears they had been at Hartlepool together on Sem-
day last, and about half-past nine at night, on their way
back to Byer's•green, they called at Pad thers' Aims lan, at
Low Speneymoor, and had three pinta of as. They said
they had got ont of the train at Ceiba, from Hartlepool to
get scene ale, and mimed the train again, and had therefore
walked. They seemed intoxicated. Jam;es Trotter, a pitman
walked with them on to the railway, and they walked- away
together. This was about a quarter to 11 o'olock. About
two o'clock on Sunday morons a man named Cease Child
was walking on the railway, and when he got through the
bridge at Bishop Close, he heard a man on the railway cry-
ing foe help, and he went up to the place and found a man
lying dead across the rails, shockingly mutilated, and usarly
oat to two across the breast. This was afterwards recognised
to be the body of John Coelthard. Another man was !Ow
three or kw; yards off in the gutter. The men Child git
him out M the water, and he was enabled to tall him that
W name wee John Hall. 1141 left arm and leg were nearly
severed from his body. Child immediately went to Spumy-
MOW for amistearn and came back with Dr. Hawks. Hall
wee than removed to Spennyamor, and died shortly
after he got there. From the evidence of Ed-
ward Taylor, an angloomee between Todkulle end
West Hartlepool, it appealed that on Sunday mora-
leg, about twenty minutes past 12, he passed the &penny-
moor station with a train of 68 empty waggoes, and mat
through the cutting at Bishop Close at the rate of Ave or six
mils an hour only. They had lights both before and be-
hind. In the afternoon, having heard that two men bad
been killed on the railway, he examined the waggon wheels,
and found marks of blood upon seven of them, which left no
doubt that the unfortunate men had been run over by the
train. It was very dark and the line wee a sink one.
The Jury found a verdict of " Accidental death."
The bodies of the men wen not recognised until the Mon-
day. John Hall wee 28 yews of age, and lived at South
Church Station, near Bishop Auckland. John Coulthard
lived sear Cowesbill, in Weardak, and was a lead miner, and
24 rare el age. He had eons to ass the Sewer show at
Bishop Auckland on the Frida sad was slaying with an
ands at Newfield.—Dwriast
