The New Cable.

ST. PIERRE, MIQUELoN, July l5.-Thc
Ocean cable was splicad to the shore end to.
day by the steamer William Cory" The
cause OF The failure to splice yesterday was that
the shore end was lost. The buoy was easily
iouud; but when taken up it was discovered
that the cable was detached, and it was, there
fore, necessary to rrapple for it. Directly after
the splice was made the Instruments and opera
tors were sent on shore and communication was
soon opened with Brest,
Sir James Anderson, Commander of the
Great Eastern, brought with him sealed mes
sage which had been prepared by the Emperor
Napoleon, the purport Of which was to remain
unknown until it was opened on this side of the
Atlantic, upon the completion of the cable
when the message was to be sent to the En-
peror through the cable in order that lie might
thus Judge OF the accuracy of transmission. -
This message was sent to France to day.
