The Courier Of this morning publishes the following
statement from Mr.. John Richards, mate Of the ship
Alice Muproe
The Alice Munroe experienced almost constant
soutberly gales and was forced to take much more
norbery course than els Otherwise would nsve done.
On the morning Of ths 9Th, about o'clock, saw the

and Mr. Richards statement Of their doiugs fol the

Of saving bis vessel two hours longer SO great ~as her
stTsinirg. But the storm subs.ded at lsst and the
Aeamemnop rode out the gale.
IA most unfortunate accident occurred on ocard,
however caused by the bre skiing loose OF the cone
which held the cable in It's position on the gundeck
The cable got adolf snS vas pl..aea sSoaI bn rps
dred tuns Of coal also got adrt on the came deck,
and caused infinite trouble. Two sesmen were injured
by these accidents OF them having an arm broken
aLd the other having a leg broken.
"The two vessels and their tenders finally arrived
on the ground and the morning Of the 26tn con-
necton Of the cable was effected, the weather being
then sufficiently calm. The paying out OF the cable
had scarcely commenced before the wire snapped.
After fe hours detention another splice was made,
end the steamers started, the Ag8memnOn and her
consort for Ireland and the Niagara and her compan
ion for the American coast.
"Signals were kept up between the two fleets con-
stantly q message being transmitted every fifteen
minutes, and all was going well till about forty
miles had bee paid out when the electricians or board
the Nsgars discovered that the current wss broken

was immediately put about, and she had already
resched the mid ocean rendezvous when at o'clock,
she was first seen by the Alice Munroe.
"It was believed on bOsrd the Niagara that the
cause of the second breaking was bink in the Aga
menmons wire, caused by its disarrangement during
the gale but of this there is no certainty Nothing
was said to Mr.. Richards about the working o! the
new brakes probably there had been no occasion to
put them in use.
1.-THE Alice Munroe parted from the company OF the
Niagara shortly after OF the 2th ana lost sight
of her about 0 clock The Aga nemnon had not then
come in sight. The Niagara had hoped that her con-
sor would arrive in season to make another triai tna
day but az the weather foggy, though calm Is
hardly probable that anything was done on the 2tn.
'For two days subsequently the weather was quite
calm and favorable but after that there another
succession Of heavy southery gales and the weather
on the Banks experienced by the Alice Munroe was
exceedingly rough

The weather is dull and quite warm, and not unfa-
vorable for the Telegraph feet. Wind west

Owing probably to some slight dsarangement OF the
line there has been no commune alton with Newfound
land to-dsy. The weather here is calm ard cloudy.
