THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The following notice has been received, signed by
the Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company,
and dated Valentin, Saturday, Sept. 4, 11.45 a.m. :
" Sir,--I am instructed by the directors to state
that, owing to some cause, at present not ascer-
tained, but believed to arise from a fault existing
in the cable at a point hitherto undiscovered, there
have been no intelligible signals from Newfound-
land since one o'clock on Friday morning, the 3d
inst. The directors are now at Valentia, and, aided
by various scientific and practical electricians, are
investigating the cause of the stoppage with a view
to remedy the existing difficulty. Under these
circumstances no time can at present be named for
opening the wire to the public.--Yours truly,
" GEORGE SAWARD, Secretary."

DEATH OF MR. JAMES M'GREGOR.—We regret
to learn that Mr. James M'Gregor, the late chairman of the
South-Eastern Railway Company, expired at an early hour
yesterday morning, under painfully sudden circumstances.
Mr. M'Gregor, at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon, called at
the shop of Mr. Douglas, hair-dresser, in New Bond-street,
and inquired if the assistant who usually attended on him
was disengaged, and the words had scarcely escaped his lips
when he fell, and on being raised was found unconscious.
Medical assistance was promptly obtained, and the eminent
gentleman called in at once pronounced the case that of para-
lysis. The unfortunate gentleman remained in the same
lamentable state at Mr. Douglas's until 7 o'clock yesterday
morning, when he died. In the course of the day his
corpse was removed to his private residence, in Eccleston-
square, Pimlico. The deceased gentleman was intimately
connected with, and well known to, the leading commercial
men of Liverpool and the city of London, particularly after
he became the chairman of the South-Eastern Railway Com-

LATEST NEWS.

MARSEILLES, SEPT. 4.

Constantinople papers have arrived.
The Pressc d'Orient states that for three days a
perfect panic prevailed at Aleppo. The Mussul-
mans bought arms and closed the bazaars. The
city was deserted, and it was only in consequence
of the measures taken by the authorities that the
general apprehensions were calmed. Nevertheless
the Mussulmans continued to arm themselves, and
to offer provocation to the Christians.
According to the Journal de Constantinople, a
similar panic had taken place at Tripoli, where it
had only been dissipated by the arrival of a man-
of-war in the port.

The trade in arms continues very active in Tur-

The Municipal Commission at Constantinople
having attempted to imprison some Europeans, M.
de Thouvenal had convoked the representatives of

FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY

"It is reported," says a Paris letter in the
Journal du Havre, " that Abdul-Mazis, brother of
the Sultan Abdul-Medjid, will shortly visit France.
Should that take place, it will be an event without
precedent in the annals of the history of Turkey!"
There is no truth in the report which has been
circulated of a rapprochement between Austria and
Russia. The two Courts continue in the same
uncomfortable position which they have occupied
towards each other since the conclusion of the
Crimean war—neither peace nor war, but some-
thing between the two.
It is stated here that the treaty between England
and France on the one hand, - and China on the
other, contains fifty-seven 'articles, and that the
indemnity to be paid England and France amounts
to 500,000,000 f.

The Glanzer, of St. Quentin, which succeeded
the lGuctteur, the journal lately suspended, an-
nounces that the Emperor has relieved the tespon-
sible editor of the latter from the condemnation to
five months' imprisonment pronounced on him.
Lord Palmerston dined yesterday with Baron de
Rothschild at his -country-house near the Bois de
Boulogne.
The International Commission, convoked at Paris
for the examination of questions relative to the im-
provement of the mouths of the Danube, has pub-
lished its report, signed by MM.. Alb. Tostain,
Fowke, Leutze, and Menabrea, commissioners of
France, England, Prussia, and Sardinia. It has
directed that the river should be navigated by the
St. George's Channel.

RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg letter of the 26th ult. says-
"A telegraphic despatch announces the arrival

the Grand Duke Michael and the Grand Duchess,
his wife, at Kaffa, in the Crimea. The preparatory
works for the railway, which will doubtless be the
means of enabling the Crimea to recover from the
disasters caused by the war, are now in full activity.
The company have just published a notice to the
effect that the loan of 85 millions of roubles, which
it is about to contract, will be issued in 70,000 bds.
of 500 roubles each, bearing interest at 4 per cent.
Ten per cent. or 50 roubles must be paid at the
time of subscribing."
