HALIFAX, Aug. 6.--lhe orders of the AS
ISOLATED Press to hold open the lines between
New York and Trinity Bay last night were
received and complied with as to this prov
ince, but from some unexplained cause the
New Foundland line closed, or at least ceased
to work early in the evening, thus cutting of
all communication with the cable at Trinity
Bay telegraph Office. We have, therefore,
nothing important to communicate in addi-
ton to the satisfactory reports of yesterday
from Mr.. Field Our last advices left the
engineers and assistants in getting the cable
on shore at the Bay OF BULBS Arm. No doubt

have never been put on board of either yes
sci there can be no actual communication
only by signs until both ends Of the cable
shall have been connected with the shore,
which may require several days.
