A letter from Valentia, Nov 2lst, states
that the large shore end Of the Atlantic Cable
was laid on the previous Friday. Five miles
were laid and it is believed that if the seven
miles still at Greenwich had been added to it
the result would have been satisfactory. After
passing the spot where the shore end united,
some Of the men in their anxiety to continue
the undermining of the small cable, discov-
cred kink where the conducting wire was
exposed to the water. The defective part was
cut out and the undermining discontinued,
though it is probable that other defects Of the
kind would have been discovered. The cable
was not tested after the shore end had been
attached, nor was there anybody at valentia
capable Of doing it.

Mr. Ready, of Tenn, wanted a postpone

Mr.. Houston, Of Alabama, said if this case,
which involves impeachment, it is to consume
the time of the Senate, that body ought al

postponement.
Mr.. Craig, of North Carolina, remarked that

John Cochrane, of New York, thought the

it.

would not postpone the case from day to day

After further debate, the House refused tc

of the subject.
