TIN ATLANTIC TKrEGR,Ip--CrRrors CorScI-
DENcFs.-Mr. Fields letter to the Associated
Press shows some curious condolences in the
matter of laying the cable. The 2glh of the
month seems to play quite au important part,
both for good and for evil In it's history Thus,
for instance. the telegraph feet sailed from Ply
mouth on the experimental trip on the 10Th OF
May. The cable was broken al The stern Of the

An INTERNATIONAL JUBnEE.-The suggestion
made in our columns yesterday that the day
which witnesses the first greetings between the
heads Of the British and American governments
over the Atlantic telegraph should be CONNIE
morated as an international holiday in all future
time, must commend itselfto all who begin to
appreciate the magnitude Of the event. TIE
present Is the most propitious time to have that
suggestion practically carried out We, there
fore. renew the proposition, in the hope that If
the President Of the United States docs not in
icrest himself in having II adopted, the people
of The United States will II would b. more
appropriate TO have the proposal emanate from
TIE general government but in event Of no
such action being taken by II, then It would
come appropriately from the Municipality Of
the great commercial metropolis Of the United
States.

STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE ERIE CANAL.-Last
week has witnessed two events in the progress
Of science which will not be soon forgotten-one
affecting the interests of the whole world, and
the other those of this country, but more parti-
cularly Of this State. The great electric cable
uniting the two worlds has been successfully
laid down; and the great water highway from
the West to the seaboard of the State Of New
York has been traversed by steam power.
Previous experiments to run steam canal boats
on the Erie canal have hitherto gisea little poo
misc Of ultimate success. In all caecs it was
found that the wave driven to the banks OF the
canal by the action of the screw would wash Oh

that very fact accounts for the warm interest

as well asa great many people, imagine tina
the European telegraph will make great revo

the communities that are thus joined together.
But after the first flashes across the ocean this
idea will vanish. The fact is, that during the
