Mr. Whiiehouse v no styles himself "Fle lectriciau
in Chief and of the four original projectors of

Times that he believes the injury to the cable to be
| in the home end, which he had foreseen, aud had
on one occasion repaired. He apprshends that
there is little cause for anxiety, and thinks there
is nothing in the obstructions calculated to damp

success. Mr.. Wbitehonse complains OF the snm-

preston was created by the statement published
yesterday. and on the Stock Exchange the 81 coo
shares of the company fell one or two hundreds Of
pounds in value. 1t is not supposed, from our
present Information, that the cable has actually
| broken, but only that something has occurred to
arrest the natural progress OF the electric current
| Even IL the cable should break, the result of the
| recent attempt will not have been in vain, for it
clearly establishes two facts-first that = cable
| can actually be laid across such q large bulk OF
| water. and, second, that when laid, telegraphic
| communications can as certainly be effected be-
| tween the old and new hemispheres. If the worst
| should come of the present attempt, these factA
| will form the basis Of improved and resoute
| dertakings for the future Bot, ia the meanwhile,
| let Us hope that the present stoppage of comnuni
cations through the cable is but of temporary
nature.
from the London Times (city arlcle) Sept. s.
| Nothing fresh has transpired with regard ( the
| Atlantic telegraph. There is still communication
through the whole length of the cable, but only of
the fantest and most uncertain kind. A prevalent
opinion seems to be that the defect is not In the
| Instruments, but that the line has received some
| injury from abrasion on the coast, which will
adsait OF speedy repair. The nominal quotation
OF shares to-day was $50 to $50.

The Atlantic telegraph 10 at fault Whether the
