Lord Mayor of London.
" I congratulate your lordship on the successful
laying of the Atlantic cable, uniting the continents
of Europe and America—the cities of London and
New York—Great Britain and the United States.

" ' It is a triumph of science and energy over time
and space, uniting more closely the bonds of peace
and commercial prosperity ; introducing an era in
the world's history pregnant with results beyond
the conception of a finite mind. To God be the
praise.

(Signed) " ' DANIEL G. TIEMAN, Mayor.'

"' The Lord Mayor of London most cordially
reciprocates the congratulations of the Mayor of
New York upon the success of so important an
undertaking as the completion of the Atlantic tele-
graph cable. It is indeed one of the most glorious
triumphs of the age, and reflects the highest credit
upon the energy, skill, and perseverance of all parties
entrusted with so difficult a duty, and the Lord
Mayor sincerely trusts that, by the blessing of
Almighty God, it may be the means of cementing
those kindly feelings which now exist between the
two countries.
