The.general and political news is meagrei

l'i GREAT BRITAIN English papers are
unusually silent upon American affairs.
The Atlantic telegraph cable was on
board the Great Eastern, and as soon as the
balance of the paying out machinery was
| put up the telegraph fleet won id sail tor
Valentia, and it was hoped before their de-
parture from Valentia that United States
Government steamer would join themr--
The vessels will probably leave Valentia on
the 10th of July, and arrive at Hearts Con-
tent, Trinity Bay, about the 9th of july.
The Directors of the Telegraph Compa-
ny have decided upon the following,
uniform tariff between all points of the
United States and British North America ::
To Great Britain, 20 pounds sterling tor
twenty words or less, and one pound for
each additional word; to the Continent Of
Europe, 81 pounds for twenty words, and
one pound and one shilling for each addi-
tional word; to Asia and Africa, 25 pounds
for twenty words. and one pound and five
shillings for each additional word. The ad-
dress, date and signature are all to be count
ed and charged for in messages. Messages
| for places in Asia and Africa, to which the
telegraph does not extend, will be forward
ed by first mail, postage paid. Messages: in
cypher will be charged double these rates.
| The Directors are confident that unless
they charge high prices at first there will
be such an accumulation Of business that
great delay will arise in the Transmission
of messages but they intend to put down
new cables as fast as possible, and then re-
duce the prices. The cable will be opened
| for business as soon after it is laid as posi-
BILE, and all messages will be forwarded in
the order in which they are received at
Hearts Content, Trinity Bay. - grig.g1
The new stock of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company sells'in London at a. premium,
and one Thousand shares sold at ESQ. ,
On the 2lst of June, the share holders in
the Telegraph Construction Company visit
ed the Great Eastern by invitation fronrtbe
directors of the Atlantic Company, and on
the following day Mr.. Adams, the Ameri-
can Minister, the Duke and Duchess OF
Sutherland, and, the Duke and Duchess OF
'Somerset, and large number of other dis
tiuguished1 people, visited the ship. The
health of Mr.. Adams was drunk at the
dejeuher on board. Mr.. Adams, in return
ing thanks, said that during the re-
cent trouble he was selfish enough to
wish the cable might not ~be laid, as
he would have been overwhelmed with
telegrams; but now he wished it
every success, as he thinks it would
do more than any other agency to strengths
en- the bonds Of unior- between the two
countries. The Interests and object OF
Great Britain had all along beeh'to maintain
peace, and now that the contest which had
distracted the United States has been
broughtto an end, the sole object they had
in view was peace also.
No more visitors were to be admitted on
board of the Great Eastern before she sail
ed The present condition of the cable was
all that could be desired, and those most
interested in it seemed to be perfectly con-
tident of its complete success.
/ The report of the Hudson Bay company
is ready, with regard to the claim Of the
company against the United States under
the Oregon treaty. The hope is expressed
that the question may be concluded by the
end of the year. s'ra .H#
