The suspension of despatches bq the Atlantic
.Telegraph had occasioned anxiety, and Mr. Cyrus
Field had published the following despatch :
" Sir,--I have received from Newfoundland a
despatch informing me that although the insulation
of the ocean cable remains perfect no message has
come over it for several days.
" The last telegraphic despatch that I received
from England was dated London, Sept. 1.
"What may be the cause of the cessation we don't
know, but conjecture that it is, the change of
the shore end at Valentia, which I was informed
was about to be made ; but it should also be.
stated that Professor Thomson was to succeed
Professor Whitehouse in a -series' of experiments
upon the cable ; and, although his system was re-
garded by all practical telegraphers in England as
perfectly childish, it is quite possible that the pre-
, sent delay in transmitting intelligence is attributa-
ble to Thompson's experiments.
" It was also known at the sailing of the Africa
that the directors, despairing of satisfactory results
from the sysiems of Professors Whitehouse and
Thompson, had arranged with Professor Hughes to
take charge of the electrical department of the com-
pany's business, and it was expected that the
Hughes's printing telegraph instrument would be
placed at Trinity Bay and Valentia on or about the
20th or 21st inst., and from the experiments made
while the cable was at Plymouth there is no rea-
sonable doubt that Professor Hughes will be able
to transmit intelligence through the cable reliably,
and at the rate of about 300 words per hour."
