Arrival of tho Niagara nj QueensEowu.
tPrOm the Cork Reporter, July 81
"The Niagara and Gorgon, attached to the
squadron for the laying of the Telegraphic cable,
arrived in Queenstown Mt an early hour this
morning. We regret having to announce that
the Object Of the Expedition has for the present
failed, and we shall now give our readers such
particulars of the events which occurred in the
course Of the undertaking as we have been able
to collect. The Agamernnon and her tender
the EalOrOus, and the Niagara and her tender
the GOrgon, sailed from Plymouth on the 10th
of June; each of the great vessels carrying
obout 800 miles of cable, with new and inn
proved apparatus for paying it out, which it
was calculated would have allowed for any strain
or unequal motion of the ships, as the very
speed of the vessels regulated by automatic ar
rangencntS the rate at which the coil was to be
discharged. After having been three days at
sea the expedition was Overtaken by fearful
gale, which continued without intermissiOn for
IIIue DAYS. Un tue sevenIn day OF inns nellvy
weather the ships, which continued to keep
together, had to part company, and the Aga
memnon was obliged to Scud before the wind
for 50 hours; her Goals got adrift, and coil of
the cable shifted, so that her captain for some
time entertained serious apprehenSiO IS for her
safety, and from the immense strain her water
ways were forced open, and one of her ports
was broken. Two of her SaiorS were severely
from fright Vet such was the consnmmats
