THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS.

We perceive that the telegraphic report
of the failure of the cable, which was first
allowed to appear in this city this morning,
was furnished by the Associated Press to the
Philadelphia papers last sUeHing. Will the
agent of the Associated Press in New York
be kind enough to inform us why such infor-
nation is withheld from the evening papers
of Washington, and given exclusively to the
morning press2 This is not the irst instance
Of the kind that has occurred, and as the
evening press pay their proportion of the ex-
pense of the Associated Press news, there is
no good reason why they should not only
have the news, but have it as early as the
evening press Of other Southern cities.
We treat the matter thus publicly for the
double purpose of explaining to our readers
why the news Of the failure of the cable did
not appear in the REPUBLICAN and other
evening papers yesterday, im'tead Of being
Kept back for tks exclusive 6eMeft Of tie

BAY, August 1.-THE British war steamers
Terrible and Galatia arrived ut st. Johns,
Newfoundland, at nine o'clock on Tuesday
evening, the 18th inst.
The steamship Great Eastern returned to
Sheerness on the llth inst. .--.
Captain Napier reports as follows The
cable parted on Wednesday, the I'd instant,
at noon, In ], $50 fathoms OF water. II was
then grnppled for three different times, and
was raised twelve hundred, nine hundred,
and six hundred fathoms respectively. Each
time the graphing broke, but the cable re-
manned unbroken. ..rL
The Great Eastern returned to England for
stronger and better graphing gear.
Mr. Hartley, one OF the electricians, writes
most encouragingiy in regard to the cable,
and says: "we found no difficulty whatever
in graphing the cable even in the greatest
depth Of the water. As soon as proper tackle
Is prepared we will probably commence grap-
ling for the cable again-about one hundred
miles east Of the break, where the water Is
only |, 500 fathoms deep.
"The buoys ride the gales we'll, being fast
ened by pieces Of the condemned cable.
"Mr. Field Is In good health and spirits. +"
The following is the concluding portion Of
Mr.. Cyrus W. Fields diary:
"WEDSEsDAY, Aug. AIT 5.27 Q. m, on
examining the insulation tests, II was dis
covered that there was partial loss Of iusula-
ton, aud the ship was soon afterward stopped.
The cable was transferred to the picking. up
gear at the bows, and the operation Of haul
ing in commenced. BY noon, the engine
used for picking ups stopped for want of
water for considerable time. Two miles had
been recovered, and the cable was cut to see
whether the fault had come on board.
"At 1880 p. m, the cable caught and
chafed on the mouth Of the horse-pipe; II
was with considerable difficulty removed, and
at l2,35 1t parted on board, whore it was in
jured just behind the stoppers, and in mo-
ment the end disappeared in the water. The
distance run in the last twenty -four hours
was 1l6 miles; the cable paid out was l32
miles, and was received In two miles depth
Of water, 1850 fathoms. The total distance
from Valentia was l., 06S miles; total distance
to Hearts Content, 600 miles; total cable
