THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.
The United States frigate Niagara has arrived at
Plymouth This vessel is to take part in the laying
down of the Atlantic teegraphic cable an event
which is expected to take place as early in June as
the necessary preparations will admit Of H. NJ ship
Agamemnon is already in her position in the Key
ham steam basin at Davenport; and the coilng
of so miles of the cable ON her upper deck ha .
thus far been accomplished. The Niagara vii
be laid in dock nearly alongside of the abandon
ed powder magazine at keyham, the use of the
magazine having been granted to the Atlantic
Telegraph Company ever since last August, when
the accident to the cable occurred The new issue
of capital authorized at the meeting of shareholders
on the 18th ult has been taken up to considerable
extent by the existing holders; and we understand
that sufficient funds have been provided to pay for
the additional length of three hundred miles of cable
which the directors in their report considered it
desirable to take to this year. This additional
three hundred miles will make the total length to be
taken out for this years operations, 1855 miles, 1t
is hoped, however, that, if the weather be favorable
large proportion of the provision for "slack" will
be saved.
AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the Times writes:
"There is as yet no Improvement to be remarked
in commercial affairs, either in Paris in the depart
ments. 1t has become evident even to the most in
credulous, that commercial operations have not ad-
vanced step since last December. 1t is true there
were few speculative purchases made in January
with the view of raising prices but that Fictitious
movement was speedily followed by stagnation
which still exists. All the artificial means employ
ed to restore credit during the last three months
have signaly failed and that through the fault of
the holders of produce
alt is now positively stated that Orsini did write
a second letter to the Emperor Napoleon and that
he expressed contrition for his crime; but so far

The Bombay Standard gives the following state
ment in regard to the disposal of the Indian army

least IL, 900 more in his rear and hanks The col

reserves will muster &c, 900 at least Chamberlain
must have 10000 at his disposal-giving grand
total of $4,000, mostly Europeans, in almost con-
slant conflict with the enemy while there are prob

tive duty. Is 900 Europeans mastering in the

tive armies of Bombay and Madras included, sta
tionary garrison duty"
