THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

VALENTI.t, SATURDAY.--al Thursday morning, soon
after the ships sailed for Newfoundland, and when at the
distance of four miles from the landing place, an accident
happened to the thickest shore-end of the cable, which
became entangled with the machinery, and broke at that
point. The ships' boats were engaged until the afternoon
of yesterday (Friday) in underrunning the able from the
shore to the place where it was broken, and there joined
the two ends again. This operation has been most suc-
cessfully performed ; the joint is as perfect as any part
(~f the cable, and the continuity and insulation of the whole
length having been ascertained by the severest test, the
squadron instantly set sail at about sunset on the evening
of yesterday, and have kept up continued interc ,m se through
the wire to the shore of Valentia since that time up to this
hour (half-past nine) to-day. The ships are now twenty -
two miles off. The weather beautiful. Sea calm.
