WAS made through dispatch from the Su.

and was unquestionably reported in good
foith but as the informetion has not been
confirmed vet by De Sanity, who has full
knowledge of all the facts, regard the state

or other unavoidable difficulties, may occupy
three or four weeks to repair. The depth OF
water within 200 miles of the Irish coast is
about ITO to 200 fathoms, and it is not doubt
ed but that even 200 miles of the cabte could
be raised if deemed necessary. Respectfully,

The following is the address of the Asso-
ciated Press of New York:
To C. S. De Sanity Trinity Bay Newfound-

BY the arrival of the Northern Light at
New York, the following has been received
by the Times:
VALENTIA, Sept. 4th.
I am instructed by the Directors to state
that owing to some cause not yet ascertained,
but believed to arise from fault in the ca
BILE at point undiscovered, there have been
no Ineligible signals from Newfoundland
since one o'clock Friday night, September
ed The Directors are now at Valentia, and
aided by various practical electricians, are in
vestigating the cause of the stoppage, with a
view to remove the existing difficulty. I'm

present will be made to open the wire to the

cording to the London Times, to be Electri
cian.in-Chief and one of the four original
projectors Of the Atlantic Telegraph, writes
that he believes the injury to the cable to be

there is no cause for anxiety, and that ul-
innate and complete success will erown their
efforts.
New YoRK, Sept 25th-it has been ascer-
tanned that the steamship Ariel, which sailed
hence on the 18th instant for Southampton
and reported to be on fire, had q cross deck
walking beam, on the second deck, as the up
per deck had probably been burned off when
seen by the Captain of the Rosenheams. The
wreck had the appearance of an English YES
sell 1t is therefore feared that the steamer
seen may prove to have been the Ariel. She
had on board one hundred and eighty five
passengers, and over SlS7 900 in specie. Ii
is also feared that it may have been the Aus
tra, from Brennan via southampton, which
sailed on the 4th and is now several days
over due. She has, it is supposed over five
hundred passengers on board There is one
probability in favor of the safety of the crew
and passengers which is a strong one. The
burning steamer had no person on board
when seen by the vessels, and as she was or

running between this country and Europe
