To the Editor Of tie London Tmes--SIR {:
The interrupted state of Geographic com
munication with America is evinced by the
fact that in the course Of yesterday, 80
messages passed, yielding e2,59l Isl; in
order, however, to mitigate as far as pos
sible the effect of vague and exaggerated
rumors, | feel it my duty as chairman of
the company, TO ask you to place the public
in possession of the following factss On
the 9Th inst. it was reported that on the 4th
at $50 p. NJ, large iceberg grounded off
the harbor of Hearts Contents, n. F., about
one and half miles N. N. W. of Northern
Point and two hundred miles east of the
1866 cable in about sixteen fathoms Of wa
ter. No danger with the present one. On
the 9Th, it was reported that the iceberg has
disappeared, but in passing over the cable
of 1866, it seems however, that some dam
age must have been done, for the signal
through the cable became imperfect, and

ever, is unimpaired, and there is no reason
to doubt that the injury to the cable of 1866
will be repaired without delay or any con-
siderable expense. | need only add, that
the capacity of the cable of 1865, exceeds
the requirements Of the business, great as
it is, between this country and America.
