and the city has been in a perfect blaze. Tne firemen, with
the spirit of appreciation which they have always shown
on gi cat enterprises, have:turned out in great numbers, in
one of the finest torchlight processions ever witnessed
by the citizens of this place, and are now to lug a salute.
Every description of bunting has been flying fro;ii the en-

benefactor of the whole human race."

city to-day. It rained heavily, but, disregarding that, the
citizens were lying through the streets—sans hats, sans
umbrellas, saus everything—to the telegraph office, which
was blockaded by eager enthusiasts to see Mr. Field's de-
spatches. All the bells were rung and flags hoisted, and a
general demonstration of joy and deep interest was mani-
fested. The civil, military, and naval authorities are going
to have a public demonstration, with illuminations, salutes,
&c., and a procession to-morrow."

with the American lines across the island."

" Montreal, Aug. 5, 1858.

" The news of the arrival of the Niagara at Trinity Bay
was received here shortly after noon to-day, and caused a
profound sensation. The union of the provinces with the
mother country by the electric bond was hailed with intense
gratification.
" This evening's Pilot has the following article :—Eu-
rope and America conjoined ! We wish that Heaven had
made us poetical, that we might raise a song of triumph on
the success of one of the noblest works that ever the mind
of man conceived, or that his hand could execute. The At-
lantic cable is laid, and we are all within speaking distance
of our own tnother country—of the fatherlands of most of the
people of this continent—and soon we shall be as closely
allied to all the people of the earth. It would be impossible
to overrate the importance of this great—we had almost said
greatest of events. Providence has indeed been kind to us.
Now as ever let our gratitude, though it can never be ccm-
mensurate with the boon conceded, swell our bosoms with
thankfulness in excelsior. Nothing becomes us—our hearts
are too full to allow us to enlarge upon the subject. So let
`expressive silence muse His praise, the Giver of all good.' "
" Toronto, C. W. Aug. 5, 1858.
" The news of the successful laying of the Atlantic cable

telegraphed to Cyrus W. Field, congratulating him on the
success of the enterprise."
