ST. JOINS, N. F., Aug. IL.
To The 1ASsociated Press
On the Wednesday before I left London,
the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany unanimously decided that after the
cable was laid, and after Queens and Presi-
dents messages transmitted, the line should
be kept free several weeks solely for the use
of DR.. Whiiehouse, Prof. Thompson and
other electricians to enable them to thorough.
ly test the various modes Of telegraphing so
that the directors might decide which was
the best and most rapid manner for future use
for it was considered that after the cable
should be once thrown open for business it
would be very difficult to obtain it for exper-
mental purposes even for short time.
Due notice will be given when the line is
ready for business and of the tariff of prices.

To Cyrus ". Field, Esq, General Manager Of the

We, the Executive Council of NewfOund-
land, have great and sincere pleasure in ten
dering you our congratulations on the success
OF the grand project Of the landing OF the
telegraph cable. Intimately acquainted as
we have been with the enterprise which has
distinguished you from the commencement OF
this great work Of telegraphic connection be-
tween the old anu new worlf, and feeling that
under Providence this triumph is mainly du :
to your well directed and injomitable exc.

appreciation of your service, to the Cause Il
the worlds progress, and our sympathy il
those feelings inseparable from the present
profound result, we recognize in this eN peri

and the privileges conferred on you by the
company you represent, and sincerely trust
the best expectations of the results of the
enterprise to- all the interests associated
with it, may be abundantly fulfilled, and that
you, sir, individually may reap from it an

REPLY OF MIR. FIELD.

To Hon. Executive Council of Nepfoundland /:
l thank you with all my heart for the cor
dial manifestations of your good will. There
Is, however, nothing new to me in the present
tone of feeling. Upwards Of four years ago
l first laid before tho Legislature of this COL
Ony the plan of uniting the two continents
by means of telegraph. The communications
received were readily countenanced, and in
their charter of incorporation then passed
was unfolded the whole view which has now
arrived at its final accomplishment The
terms Of that charter were literal and encour-
aging, but had your councils been guided by
different spirit, the project would have been
abandoned, and years might perhaps have
passed without witnessing this happy union
of the two worlds with the benefcent conse-
quences it is destined to diffuse. The exclu
sive privileges conferred by the colony to
the New York, New FoundIand Telegraph
Company, made her the subject of severe criti-
cism, and therefore is it with satisfaction |
observe the approving terms in which you
refer to them. Every enlightened country re
cognizes a right of property in those who Or
gan!Ze work where science or skill, or CAPT.
tai, has been interested. This protection is
necessary to draw out the efforts of men in
new works of public utility, for who would
SOW if he could not reap and while the indi-
vidual has his reward society is the gamer by
his labor.
In the exclusive privileges you have confer
red on the company represent, the principle
of copyright only is involved, and l think
there can now be no doubt but that your pol
icy has conduced to the interest of the COL
Opy for I r. pfidpntlv trnst that tho fi1tu rn
may be productive Of much benefit to your
people, from the great work which, from the
beginning to the present time, has had your
consistent and liberal support.
shall look with peculiar pleasure on the
advanta. es resulting from the proud position
of this colony in the telegraph connection of
the New and the Old World, and shall be
ever ready to promote your views of advance
mcnt by all the means in my power.
