The United States steam frigate Niagara, Captain
Hudson, and British war steamer Gorgon, Captain
Dayman, arrived at Trinity Bay yesterday august

perfect, is being landed to-day.
AL we can hope for now is that the above impor

This news will send an electric thrill throughout

THISlrY BAY, August 5, 1865.
TO ruE ASSOCIATED Pass, New YORK;
The Atlantic Telegraph feet sailed from Queens
town on Saturday, July III; met at mid-ocean on
Wednesday, the 18th, and made the splice at l
p. NJ. on Thursday, the 10th, and then separated
the Agamemnon and valorous bound TO Valentia,
Ireland and the Niagara and Gorgon for this place,
where they arrived yesterday, and this morning the
end of the cable will be landed.
II is sixteen hundred and ninety-eight nautical
or nineteen hundred and fifty statute miles from the
Telegraph house at the head of valentia harbor to
the Telegraph house, Bay Of Bulls Arm, Trinity
Bay; and for more than two thirds Of this distance
the water is over two miles in depth.
The cable has been paid out from the Agamemnon
at about the same speed as from the Niagara.
The electrical signals sent and received through
the whole cable are perfect.
The machinery for paying out the cable worked
in the most satisfactory manner and was not stopped
for single moment from the time the splice was
made until we arrived here.
Captain Hudson, Messrs. Everett and woodhouse,
the engineers the electricians and officers of the
ships, and, in fact, every man ON board the Tele.
rraph feet, has exerted himself to the utmost to
make the expedition successful and by the blessing
of Divine Providence il has succeeded.
After the end of the cable is landed and connected
with the land line of telegraph, and the Niagara has
discharged some cargo belonging to the Telegraph
Company, she will 60 to ST. Johns for coal, and
then proceed at once to New York.
