From Europe.

The British mail steamship Persia, Capt.
Judkins from Liverpool, on Saturday, the
18th inst, was boarded off Cape Race, at 8
o'clock, Saturday morning, by steamer
Victoria, the newly employed news yatch
of the associated press.
The news is quite interesting as will be
seen from the subjoined summary of its
points.
The Atlantic telegraph feet took its final
departure under sail from Plymouth on
Thursday 10th inst.
We do not learn that Capt. Judkins pass
ed the feet near enough to speak any of the
steamers, but the weather is understood to
be favorable for subtnerging the cable.
The fleet expected to reach mid ocean on
the 20tn inst and we shall probably hear
Of the arrival of the Niagara at Trinity Bay,
on or about the 9th inst.
The Government will despatch steamer
to trinity Bay to pilot in the Niagara as
near as practicable to the point where it is
decided to land the cable.
The Niagara will be expected momenta-
rily on and after next week; but from the
fact that the feet would use no steam in
reaching the middle Of the Atlantic, it is quite
possible that the Niagara will not reach this
coast before the st Of July.
This Office has been placed in connection
with the Office at Trinity Bay, and it is IN
derstood that the Telegraph Company will
! place their wires hence to New York. at the
service Of the press and public, for the trans
mission Of such communications connected
with the great event as may be ha nded in
for few days subsequent to the arrival Iof
the Niagara.
