LIMITED CABLE FACILITIES.

YUF ATLANTIC CABLES BROKEN-T1IE FRENCH
CABLE WORKING IaPEEFECTLY.
To Re Aesoei0fod Pres
The steamer Robert Lowe sailed from Hearts
Content on Saturday last TO repair the Atlantic
Cable of 1885, which was injured about Go miles from
that point. We have just received information that
the Cable of 1866 has also ceased to work. and that
Che fault is about the same distance from Hearts
Content. It is therefore probable that the steamer
has grapped the wrong Gable. As the steamer Is on
the spot, it is hoped both Gables viii soon be re-
paired.
Although the French cable is able to transmit
westward with about its usual facility, it is, from
some unknown cause unable to transmit eastward,
except with great difficulty and very slowly.
Notice is hereby given that for the presant mes
sages cannot be received for any part of Europe.
The public viii be informed at the earliest moment
that messages can be received for Europe.
