THE ATLANTIC CABLE AT WORK.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.
The screw steamship North American, Captain
Grange, which sailed from Quebec on the 25th ult.,
arrived here to-day, bringing the mild .Canadian
mails, and 38 cabin and 40 steerage passengers.
On the 27th ult., in lat. 50 N., long. 60 40 W.,
the North American struck on a sunken rock,
causing the ship to shake and vibrate very much.
She immediately careened over to the starboard,
and slipped off, with her fore compartment full of
water to the level of the water outside. She sus-
tained no other damage.
A telegram dated Trinity Bay, Sept. 23, says :
"IVe can at least announce the gratifying intelli-
gence thr4- i1q.144q-eahle is
main in complete
working
^ydor, kion,l electrical currents have been
passing through. v e are not informed of trans-
missions of any
specific messages, but it can be
stated with accuracy that signals received from
Valentia are as perfect as ever. It is hoped
cable will be ready for business in a few weeks at
least."
The Quebec Morning Chronicle says :—" An
indignation meeting, to denounce the Governor-
General and Ministers, was held at Guelph,
Canada West, on the 19th inst. The Clear-Grits,
finding themselves in a minority, left the build-
ing, and adjourned to another place. A new
chairman having been chosen, the following reso-
lution was carried That this meeting is of
opinion that the Governor-General was perfectly
justified in refusing to dissolve the House of Assem-
bly at the dictation of any individual, and take this
opportunity of expressing their perfect confidence
both in his Excellency and his present advisers."
It appears there is some doubt as to the alleged
departure of Gen. Walker, the filibuster, for Cen-
tral America. A Cincinnati despatch, under date_
22d September says—" We learn from reliable
authority that General Walker arrived in this city
last night incognito, and that he left for Louisville
this morning on the mail boat."
A Washington despatch to the .21'elV York Herald,
under date 22d September, says—" Capt. Marcy
arrived here to day direct from Utah. He met
3,200 waggons, carrying 5,00011). each, drawn by
40,000 oxen. These oxen were dying all along the
route. It is said the transportation contractors
will make half a million dollars. Captain Marcy
believes the army will have to stay in Utah in suf-
ficient force, or the Mormons -will not remain sub-
ject to the laws of the United States.
The International Association of Republicans
and Socialists celebrated the anniversary of the
proclamation of the French Republic of 1792 at the
Steuben-house, Bowery, on the 22d ult. Several
speeches of the usual violent character were made,
and the affair ended in some confusion, arising out
of the denunciation of one of the orators by another
as a spy.
A special despatch to the New. York Tribune,
from their correspondent at Washington, dated 22d
September, says :—" Intelligence has been received
here, verifying the fact that the yacht Wanderer,
which was temporarily detained by the United
States marshal at New York a few months ago,
under suspicious circumstances, went to the coast
of Africa, and is soon expected in Cuba with a
cargo of slaves. Captain Conic, of South Carolina,
purchased her with the proceeds of a claim allowed
by the war department. Commodore Sliubriek,
who commands the naval force against Paraguay,
is to be relieved of that duty as soon as the dispute
is settled. He will proceed with Commissioner
Bowlin to Asuncion, to try negotiations with Lopez
before the force ascends the river. Commander
Page and Lieut. Dad tan are to_act as aides of Shu-,
brick, the former being without any actual com-
mand. The fleet will consist of fifteen vessels in
all, the government paying 3,-000 dols. per month •
for each of the five commercial steamers employed .
in the service. It is true that the navy department
has sent vessels to the coast of Cuba to intercept
slavers expected there."
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, Evening.—The steam-ship
Vigo, belonging to the Liverpool, New York, and
Philadelphia Steam-ship Company, sails from this
port to-morrow for Liverpool, with the United
States mails. She will take out about half a mil-
lion dollars in specie, and has already 230 passen-
gers engaged. Nothing further is known here in
regard to the steamer reported, via Halifax, to
have been burned at sea. By advices received
here to-day from Turk's Island`we learn that the
ex-President Valverd, of St. Domingo, arrived with
his suite at that island on the 3d of Sept.
