seriously 5iraid, inter- careful reatiUg of the
diary, Of the experimental trip, as well as soppe
elaborate accounts ID the New York papers, Of
the paying out machinery Of the Atlantic Tele-
graph fleet that tho expedition win prove
allure. We have in llafticnlae noticed some
cosrespondenoo from on board The steamer Nj
agara, written by person connected with the
expedition. This correspondence furnishes a
much more complete idea Of the results OF the
experimental trip than did the account 1yhien We
pnbIished from the London Tines. II seems
that instead Of .thesca6le having parted once or
twice as noted in the Times report 1t actually
parted 1--WE times-and that too, IN a srnoolh
sen and when new cabic was used. This argues
badly and we fear to hear the news OF the result
of the ss;Iibe from mid.ocean. However, we
hone for the best. Here are two extracts from
the correspondence on board the niagara, just
before she finally sailed; sa8'fa
