THE INJURED ATLANTIC CABLE.

The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance
Company's ship Chiltern sailed on Wednesday with
proper machinery and a staff of efficient persons to
repair the injury to the Atlantic Cable of 1866, in
Trinity Bay. As the vessel is a fast ono, built by
the eminent firm of Denny, of Dumbarton, it is
probable she will arrive at Newfoundland by the
15th inst., and any day up to the 20th of June we
may expect to hear that the damage done by the
only iceberg which appears to have touched either
cable will be repaired. The Chiltern has taken out
a quantity of spare cable to be left in Newfound-
land, the Anglo• American Telegraph Company
having wisely decided that such a reserve stock of
cable, to meet accidents, should be kept on the
other side of the Atlantic. The revenue of the
Atlantic cable has not, it is true, been in the least
affected by one cable breaking down, but when
such an enormous income is at stake it appears a
want of foresight on the part of the direction of the
companies managing these Atlantic cables not to
have a proper vessel, with machinery and officers,
to watch over the only portion of the cables likely
to be occasionally deranged by the icebergs which
drift into Trinity Bay from the Polar current.
The Danish government signed, on the 4th inst.,
a concession for the construction and laying of a
submarine telegraph cable from the Yorkshire
coast to that of Denmark. This will eventually
link up with another cable, to be laid next spring, '
from Copenhagen, rid Bornholm: Island, to Libau,
and thus bring Northern Russia, Scandinavia, and
America, rid England, into direct telegraphic re-
lations one with the other. These concessions have
been granted in the name of Sir John Macneill, the
Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company
undertaking to carry out the work effectually. The
traffic returns furnished by the Danish government
to the concessionnaire and contractors show, we are
assured, a net profit of at least 20 per cent. on the
limited capital necessary for this important work,
which will probably not be more than 200,0001.

ADMIRALTY, Juan 6. —APPOINTMENT. —Lieu"
tenant A. T. Denham, to the Terror.
THE EMPEROR MAXIM ILIAN. —The Vienna
Ga:ette gives news from Mexico, dated Washington, the
21st of May :—" Queretaro had been carried by surprise
early in the morning of the 15th. The Emperor, who bad
withdrawn to the upper part of the town,waa forced, after
a fresh and very sharp attack, to sun ender at discretion
with Mejia, and Castillo y Coe. The despatch by which
Escobedo announced this event was dated the 16th, at
which time no act of violence had been committedon the
person of the captive Emperor, and the government of the
United States was taking active stars in his favour."
Another journal of Vienna, the New Free Press, gives
other news which has been transmitted by its New York
correspondent. He writes on the 18th of May that the
envoy sent to San Luis de Potosi by Mr. Campbell, the
representative of the United States in Mexico, to demand
in the name of the government of Washington that the
life of Maximilian should be spared, had been well received
by Juarez, but that be had been unable to obtain any for-
mal engagement which permitted him to reckon with any
certitude on a happy result to his journey. Juarez is even
said to have raised some objections against the interven-
tion of the United fita•as in this circumstance.
