Ireland and New Foundland, but there is
no good reason to believe that the cable can
be got in readiness to convey messages be-
fore next week, and by that time the land
line will be put in order, and be kept 50.

The vestrymen of Trinity have determined
on celebrating the event Of the first success

suge. We would suggest that oil the
churches throughout the country follow the
example of Trinity, and that at the same
hour general salute be fired throughout
the country.
TRINITY BAY, Aug.
The complete success OF the Atlantic tele-
graph cable is placed beyond all doubt. Sig.
mails are now being made through the whole
extent Of the cable, but il is unlikely that
the cable will be opened for business for sew
eral days, or perhaps for a wetk, Us the cleo
tricians will require time for series OF ex.
perments with their recording Instruments.
Due notice will be given of the opening OF
the line for business.
