Inc Vnited States steam frigate Niagara,
Capt HUDSON, arrived at this port yeste> day
from Trinity Bay aud ST. Johns, after couuA&-
ing her successful enterprise of iavinr thH
great cable In the bed OF the Atlantic. The
Niagara, however, remained below last niekt.
in order to give the authorities an Opportunity
of carrying out their intention Of receiving her
with salute Of hundred guns from the fsrts
on Governors Island and the Battery, and she
will come up this morning, welcomed by salv,
of artillery and the congratulations of the
people.
The joy and excitement which this event hss
given birth to is universal on this continent
From every quarter Of the Union we hear re-
ports of general rejoicing at the long expect
ed contamination The South and the distant
West, equally with the Atlantic cities, have
spoken out in jubilee ard are ready TO unite in
one common celebration as soon as the message
from the Queen Of England to the Preadenk
has flashed along that mysterious highway
which lies In the bosom Of the "vasty deep.s
As yet we are ignorant of the effect which TIE
arrival Of the AgamemnOn at Valeu4is aud the
Niagara at Trinity Bay created In Greet
Britain; but it was doubtless as profound and
emoiorable as that which has been experienced
here. The next Cunard steamer will however,
bring us intelligence on that point, if we do not
hear Of 1t before by telegraph. 1t is evidently
the general desire in this country that the cele-
bration should be held ON the same day all over
the country, as in England and Ireland, SO as to
combine the festivities at different points into
one grand international jubilee; and we hope
it will be carried out, for that would be the
most appropriate way of commemorating
o triumph in which the whole ma
| ton is interested. When the communica-
ton by the instruments of the cleo
tricians h perfected between the two continents,
arrangements can be made so that Europe also
may participate at the same time in the rejoic-
ing, and thus we would have the Old and the
New World conformity celebrating their union,
the potency of science, and the greatest tri-
| umph of the age in which we live.
From all the indications now present there is
every reason to expect that the celebration will
| be conducted with proper spirit all through the
United States. Indeed, it is from an int
| rior city of the South that the idea of great
national jubilee emanated, the following des-
patch having been received at this Office from
Nashville Tennessee, signed by Hon. Neil S.
Brown, late Governor of that State
