and theother shareholders in the Atlantic Telegraph Com-
pany on our bright prospects. When Igo onboard the Nia gars
and Agamemnon and see the perfect arrangements made for
laying out the Atlantic cable, and knowing the great talents
of those engaged in this important work, I cannot doubt
of complete success, and in about one month- please look
out for a message from us on the other side of the Atlantic,
that will electrify the shareholders in our company ; and
then we will drink a bumper to the dirmors—to the
telegraphic union of England and America, and may it be
as enduring as the rocks of Newfoundland and the cliffs
of Old England.—Yours, &c., CYRUS W. FIELD.

at present. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The electricians, engineers,

The CHAIR:4IN said : If you have no amendment to
make, I shall put the motion.
A VOICE: Du so at once, we don't want any of their
blabber. They only come here to annoy the meeting.
The motion was then put and carried, amidst great
cheering and confusion.
The CHAIRMAN : The next business is the reading of the
bid/ince sheet. (Cheers )

Mr. NEwAnn responded.
" The merchant service of England and America" was
acknowle,'g,d by. Capt,sin Judkins, and by the commander
of the Ericsson.
The next toast was—" The manufacturing, and com-
mercial interests of Great Britain and the United States ;
may the existing ties of commerce, language, and relation-
ship be further strengthened by the prompt application of
the discoveries of science and art."
Mr. LAWdENCE HICYWORTII, who was loudly applauded,
returned thanks.
Mr. MACRAE was also called upon and replied.
Mr. MAXWELL proposed the health of the vice-president
and the secretary.
Mr. Macrae, Mr. Chimbers, and Mr. Finch replied.
The toast of the " Ladies" was acknowledged by Mr.
Cannon.

The CHAIRMAN said : Gentlemen, I think I may say
with truth that thrones are most securely based where they
are based by the affectionate loyalty which is induced by
the virtues of the monarch. (Cheers.) Such loyalty is
the loyalty of the British n tion at this time. (Hear, hear.)
May our Qeteen Victoria long reign over an enlightened,
prosperous, and happy people, reigning not only over them
as their sovereign, but reigning as she now does in their
hearts. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I give you " Her Majesty
the Queen."
The toast was drunk eith all the honcurs
The CHAIRMAN : The next toast I have to propose to yon
is, "The health of the President of the United States."
(Cheers.) May he, and those who succeed hm, long reign
over a nation, great, glorious, and free. (Cheers.) I use
those terms in their highest and most noble sense ; may that
nation be great in all that per ains to sound, national, and
moral greatness May she be glorious in all that is pro-

possible, the distinctions of racer, have more than a political
bond of unity with her s'ates. May she have a bond of
Christian brotherhood, and may her pecple long be pros-
perous, happy, and united. (Loud cheers.)
The toast was received with the utmost enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN gave "The Governments of Great Britain
and America, and thanks to them far their liberality in
providing gratuitously four of their finest steamers to lay
down the Atlantic cable." The Chairman remarked that
no governments were bound by closer and more natural
ties than the governments of England and the United States.
There was no mystery in diplomacy. Two honest men, re-
solved to act on a basis of common sense and right feeling,
must make excellent diplomatists. That was the spirit in
which diplomacy between two great nations should be
carried on, and he trusted that nothing would ever sepa-
rate England and America. (Cheers.) Bound together,
those countries might—he would tot say defy the world— e ea_
at least command the peace of the world. He expressed give them his opinion on tue ee
