The news is exciting and very i'm
portant. The grand event of the age is
consummated. The success of the At
lantic Telegraphis no longer doubt but
positive certainty. Queen Victoria's
message passed over the wires, and
President Buchanan's reply has been
transmitted to England.
The reports of the arrival of the Nj
agara at Trinity Bay were followed by
tn news Of the arrival of the Agamen-
non at Valentia and Immediately the
whole Union seemed in blaze of glory.
Dispatches from nearly every cit y and
town in the whole country, as well as in
! Canada, were received announcing
the glad tidings, when everybody
waited for the first message. Some diff
fculty was experienced at first by the
operators in arranging the recording in
struments but the public seemed salts
fed with the as surance that the signals
from Valentia Bay were perfect
Several days elapsed without any posi-
tive information on this point. In the
mean time several merchants and others
forwarded messages to the officers of the
company in this city and Boston for
transmission.
One message of fifty-seven words was
paid for at the rate of one dollar word.
Arrange ments were also made through
out the Union for a gen eral jolliication
and in New York tr reble celebration
was agreed on. The first on the re-
ceipt of the Queens message-sccond
on the arrival of the Niagara and the
third grand international festival to
take place at the same time in New
York and London.
Thepublic suspense wasthus relieved
by the preparation, till finally on the
afternoon of the 18th of August the first
regular message ever transmitted be-
tween the two continents flashed across
the wires to the Directors of the At
la ntic Telegraph Co." New York. A
few hours after the Queens message
was received. By some unaccountable
accident the first paragraph was given
as the entire message, and the public in
the East were very much disappointed
| On the 10th however, the whole mes
sage to the President was received.
This was the signal for general out
burst of popular enthusiasm. All over
the country bells were rung, cannons
fired, tar barrels and powder burned,
and flags foated to the breeze, buildings
illuminate and public festivity every
where.
In New York there was splendid
display of fire works, salute of 200
guns and a general illumination of the
city, such as has not been known for
many years.
No further dispatches have been re-
ceived from England but enough is
known toplace the success of the cable
beyond peradventure.
The Niagara, having on board Cyrus
W. Field, Capt. Hudson, Prof. Morse
and others, now famous by their connec'
ton with the enterprise, arrived in New
York on the 10th ult. The notables
were Immediately escorted ashore by q
