The OCEAN TELEGRApH.-'rhe last act

Office, was TO transmit orders to the Navy
Yard ut Brooklyn to fit out at once the
United States steamers Niagara and Mis-
sssippi to proceed to England to assist in

These are the two finest ships in our Navy
for the purpose. The Niagara is the lar.
gcst steam vessel of war in the world; she
is screw propeller, while the Mississippi
is the most powerful paddle-whcel steamer
in our Navy. The English Government
will also furnish two ships of the same
characteristic two propellers being de.
signed to receive the cable and the paddle
ships to attend them, and in case Of acct

voyage. AS soon as the cable is received
on board, the four ships will proceed to.

The two factories at which the cable is be.

made ready, say by the end of the present
month-an English steamer loading stimuli
