We take the following from the Persia's news, in
reference to the progress of this great work:
The proceedings in regard to the Atlantic Tele-
graph Cable continued to increase in interest The
shareholders of the company at Liverpool had CIV
en- a grand banquet to the officers OF the Niagara
aud Susquehanna, and the completion OF the ship
ment OF the cable on the Agamemnon had been eel
eorated by grand fete in the park OF Sir Cuiing
Eardley, near ETith, o. the Thames. Nearly thou
sand persons were present at the latter entertain-
ment, including Prof. Morse, Mr.. Cyrus w. Field,
Hon. ID. j. Raymond, Capt Sands, OF the Susque-
hanna, and others Mr.. Field. in returning thanks
tor toast, read letter from President Buchanan,
stating that he should feel much honored II the first
message across The Atlantic should be one from
Que Gloria TO the President Of the Unite States,
and that he should endeavor answer it in spirit
and manner becoming the great occasion.
The AgamemnOn left Greenwich on the gath Tor
Sheerness, to have her compasses adjusted, after
which she would proceed direct to Cork.
An important alteration 10 the arrangements for
laying the cable has been determined upon, and the
plan now is, instead of commencing in mif-ocean,
to su0merge the whole cable in continuous line
from Valencia bay in Ireland, TO Newfoundland.
The Niagara will lay the first halt from Ireland to
the middle OF the Atlantic; the end will then be
joined to the other half on board the Agamemnon,
winch takes it on to the coast OF Newfoundland
During the whole process the four vessels will re-
main together, and give whatever assistance is re-
CURED Constant communication is to be kept up
with the coast of Ireland during the progress OF the
work. and the wires are to be at once carried from
Killarney to Valencia bay, so as to connect with
the British and Irish lines
Dispatches to the Secretary of the Navy from
Capt Hudson, of the Niagara, state that he has l.,
254 miles of the cable on board his ship; and that
he contemplated leaving Liverpool for Cork, on the
9th ult.

ParIiamentnrY Decorum.

The London correspondent of the National A,-
tege"cer relates the following incident of the Brit
ish Parliament. This seems to be carrying person
al resp to a romantic length.
"a quarter of a century has elapsed since scene
so strange has been enacted in the House of Com
mons exhibited on Friday night. In the elias.
steal lOag-candIe debates of PITT and Fox it no
uncommon thing for honorable members TO walk
home to breakfast before they retired after
their nights labor. Many amusing anecdotes iii
the Parliamentary biography of that period turn up
the oddities OF this practice; and we have some
where read that the Prime Minister PITT was known
70 have dned on beefsteak aud port line three times
during one sitting. We doubt whether modern
Represen taVes have stomachs for such flag feed
ing. Considering how little pracJic2 the rank and
| file of the new Parliament have had in this species
of warfare must do them the justice to say that
both sides to have performed their parts very
efFectually on Friday night. 1t was after midnight
VIII n Lord john RUSSELL rose to make the formal
motion necessary for the introduction of his intend
ed measure and naturally anticipating that no Sc
rous impeachment would be thrown 10 his way in
this preliminary stage he confined his observations
to some few sentences, barely sufficient to explain
the xact purpose he had in view. Whereupon Mr..
WALPOLE ose to protest against the beginning of a
controversy whose mere discussion was laden with
revolutionary fruit and national Woe The majority
limited their comments 20 the la onic utterance OF
the uDargumeutative words, "diVlde, divide"
| WEereupou the House divided on motion of ad
journment and declared by prepOnderance of two
to one that it did think it reasonable just or
decent, that a man like Lord John Russell should
be refused p omission to lay the table propo-
stion, which he said he believed to be worthy of
attentive consideration, important subject
With due diversity OF form from the preceding mo-
ton the adjournment again moved, again neg
atived and a third time moved aud lost. After the
second division, two or three exhausted officials
made the best of their way home, and at o'clock
the rest of the Cabinet went A few wearied COM

men. moved aft day break, and a fourth di-
vision showed that the same decisive proportion
was still found to be true. Thinking prOpablY that
enough had been done to place the conduct of the
opposition in its proper light before the country,
Lord John declared that he would not then ask the
House again to go through the labor of repeating
the form of dividing, but that he would take the
first opportunity to renew his appeal for leave TO
bring In his bill"

BS- The Union an American says. ''Mr.
Quarles has made most brilliant race in
this district" and 'if he had not unfortun-
ately been prevented from canvassing this
county, he would certainly, we think, have
been elected"
Mr.. Quarles is a talented and worthy
gentleman; but our neighbor should re-
member that he ran behind his ticket for
Governor, while Gen. Zollicoffer ran ahead
of his in every county in the district, ex-
cept one. In this county they spoke at
two pIaces-at both of which this result is
exhibited in a marked degree. 1t is but
just to remember that Mr.. Quarles' COM
petitor, was also unfortunately prevent
ed" from canVassing the district. Had
"this county" been thoroughly aroused, the
American majority would have been 800
larger than it was.

a GREAT NATIONAL CUMosITY.-The Abing-
don (Va) VsrgiRian says: "There is a natural
bridge within 90 miles of this place, in Scott
county, Va, compared with which the bridge
over Cedar creek is a mere circumstance. the
Scott bridge extend- across a chasm more than
twice 80 feet in width, and is 400 feet deep, at
the bottom of which flows a much larger and
more rapid stream than Cedar creek; but it is
not less a bridge, with broad wagon-road loca-
ted upon il. The survey for the Cumberland
Gap Railroad passed through the arch of this
bridge 1t is, perhaps, the widest aud most
stupeDdous curiosity in the United States, and
yet il is comparatively unknown"

The London artisan recently described a
hood and armor for enabling a person to go
into vat filed with noXious gas or into the
hold of an infected vessel, down into wells
containing foul air, &c. The device consists of
an india-rubber hood, furnished with glass eyes,
a mouth piece, valve-chamber, inhaling and
exhaling tupes, where the wearsr is cut off
from the gases and foul air which surrounds
him, aud at the same time breathes fresh air
through the tube carried to the external at
mosphere. The device is thought to be of
great practical utility.

Bg The Washington correspondent OF
the New Orleans Delta, thus refers to the
originator of the idea of telegraph across
the ocean:
'Since the Submarine Telegraph has become to
be regarded as fixed fact, and Lot as a wild CHI
mera, quite a contest has sprung up among certain
prominent scientific men for the honor OF having
originated the idea. If your correspondents could
be allowed ''pitch in, " Eot competitor, but
as an umpire, he would soon decide the dispute,
The following extract Of a letter. written August
10, lS43, by Professor Samuel F. B. Morse, and
addressed to the Hon. John O. Spencer, then Sec
rotary of the Treasury, is conclusive on this sub
jet. After discussing the subject of electricity
and the law which controls the action Of the fluid,
the writer says:
"'The practical inference from this law is, that
telegraphic communication the Electro-Magnetic
plan may with certainty be established across the
Atlantic ocean! Startling as This may now seem,
am confident the time will come when this pro-
ject will be realized
How prophetic this langUagei and yet it was
written one year before the first experiment was
made in sending messages over the telegraphlc
wires. The first line ever established was one be
tween Washington and Baltimore, under the spe-
cal patronage of COngress-as expeFiment-in
the year 1874, and about the first messages trans
mitted over the line the nominations of James
K. Polk and George N. Dallas by the National
Democratic Convention then sitting in Baltimore"

The Result.

SO soon as all the returns are in, we shall
lay The result of the elections before the
readers OF the PATRIOT The defeat of the
American party has been as thorough as
Its worst enemy could wish, and we desire
our American friends to contemplate it at
their leisure. The Governor, majority
OF the Congressman, and majority in both
branches of the Legislature, have been Sc
cured by the sham democracy. The facts
and figures will soon be at hand to show
how this result was effected

~ The new contract with Mr.. Nesbit for
stamped envelopes secures a better article for
less money. Note size, one ollar fifty cents

Under the old contract note size were one dollar
fifty per thousand and letter size one dollar
