PLYMoUTH, England. May 9th, 1858. I
The Niagara and Agamemnon are now ready for
sea- The paying out machinery was completed and
in operation yesterday on board both vessels Eve
rrythng worked beautifully, not alteration being
found necessary. The steam to supply the re-coil-
ing engines is furnished from the main boilers of the
respective ships, through pipe five inches in di-
ameter; this arrangement does away with the clun-
sy boiler, ETC., that we obliged to put up with
last year on the quarter deck.
The Telegraphic fleet consists of five vessels viz:
the Niagara, fAgamemnon, Gorgon, Porcupine and
Valorous; the latter will accompany the Agamem-
non, and the other two the Niagara. A largenum-
Der OF the Directors are present to-day, to witness
the working of the machinery, and some few expet-
iments in the electrical department.
Captain Deamaiche, of the French Imperial
Army, who accompanied us last year, arrived here
yesterday, and intends making the experimental
trip.
The Agamemnon will leave tomorrow afternoon.
and the Niagara on Saturday morning. The whole
fleet will return to Plymouth not later than the Sth
of June, and Immediately commence coaling pre-
paratory to making their final start.-Cor. PhHdda.
