The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The Atlantic
telegraph cable is broken, and operations for the
present suspended. The British steamer Cyclops
had returned to Valentia, with Mr.. Field on
board and that gentleman Immediately repaired
TO London TO confer with the Directors, on future
movements he telegIaphs to the Agent of the
Associated Press, as follows
London, Saturday morning, August l5.-Her
Majesty's steamer Leopard arrived at Portsmouth
on Friday evening, 18th, and reports that the
Atlantic cable was lost at quarter before four
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, llth inst, after
having paid out successfully three hundred and
thirty five nautical miles of cable, and the last
one hundred miles Of it in water over two miles
in depth,--the greater part of this at rate of
rather more than five knots an hour, AT the time
of the accident, there a heavy swell on. the
Niagara going at the rate If four knots per hour
and as the engineer found that the cable was run
ming out in too great proportion to the speed of
the ship, he considered it necessary to direct the
brakes to be applied more firmly, when, untortu-
nately the cable parted at some distance from the
stern of the ship, The Agamemnon, Niagara,
and Susquehaunah, are to remain a short time
where the cable parted, to try some experiments
in the deep water of that part of the Atlantic
(about two thousand fathoms), which it is con-
sidered will be of great value to the Telegraph
Co and then all go to Portsmouth, Eng.
The Cyclops was sent back with dispatches for
Valentia,a and then is to join the Leopard at Ports
mouth.
Although this unfortunate accident will post
pone the completion of this great undertaking
tor a short time, the result of the experiment has
been to convince all who took part in it, of the
entire practicability of the enterprise, for, with
some slight alterations in the paying out ma
chinery, there appears to be great difficulty in
laying down the cable and it has been clearly
proved that you can successfully telegraph thro'
twenty-five hundred miles oil cable, and know
that its submeTsion at a great depth, had no per.
ceptible influence on the electric current.
There is no obstacle in laying it down at the
rate of five miles an hour, in the greatest depth
of water on the plateau between Ireland and
Newfoundland The experience now obtained
must be of great value to the company, and it is
understood that the Directors will decide whether
it is best to have more cable made, and try again,
