TRINITY BAY, n. F., August 5.
The Atlantic Telegraph Fleet sailed
from Queenstown, on Saturday, July
II.
At mid-ocean, on Wednesday, 2sth,
made the splice.
At l p. m, on Thursday, Goth, they
separated-thc Agamemnon and Val.
orous bound to Valentia, Ireland, and
the Niagara and Gorgon to this place,
where they arrived yesterday, and
this morning the end of the cable will
be landed.
1t is 1908 nautical, or ! $50 statute
miles, from the telegraph house at the
head of Valentia harbor to the tcle-
graph house at the Bay Of Bulls, Trim
ity Bay, and for more than two-thirds
this distance the water is over two
miles in depth. The cable has been
paid out from the Agamemnon at
about the same speed as from the Mia
CARA. The electrical signals sent and
received through the whole cable are
perfect. The machinery for paying
out the cable worked in the most sat
isfactory manner, and was not stop
ped single moment from the time
the splice was made until we arrived.
Capt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett and
Woodhousc, the Engineers, the cleo
tricians and officers of the ships, and
in fact every man on board of the Tel
egraphic feet, have exerted them
selves to the utmost to make the cx-
petition successful, and by the blcs-
sing of Divine Providence it has sue
ceeded. After the end of the cable is
landed and connected with the land
line Of Telegraph, and the Niagara
has discharged some cargo belonging
to the Telegraph company, she will go
to St. Johns for coal, and then proceed
at once to New York. Signed,
