. RETURN or THE ;Jai~rss AnJr:a.—The steamship James Adjer, Capt. S. C. Turn- ,er, arrived in this port at noon to-day on her return from the expedition of the New «York, Newfoundland and Telegraph Com- pany to lay the submarine cable between the Islands of Newfoundland and Cape ‘Breton. She brings fifty-ei‘ghtpassengers,, consisting of the olﬁcers o the Company, their guests, and a. number of telegraphic operators.

The James Adjer left here on the 7th of August, and has been absent 29 days. On her passage out, she arrived at Halifax on the»l0th, left there the same evening and proceeded to Port-aux-Basques, at north-west corner of Newfoundland. Upon her arrival, on the 12th, not ﬁnding the

‘bark Sarah L. Bryant, which had been chartered in Liverpool to carry out the submarine cable, she left at once for St. John’s, which she reached on Tuesday ,_morniiig, Aug. 14. She remained at St. John’s four days, during whichtime adinner . was given on board to the principal citizens of the place, who responded by a grand ball at the Colonial Building the following

‘evening. The inhabitants of St, John’s made every exertion to entertain the elli- cers of the company and their guests, and their stay was taken up by a continued

I sound of festivities.

The James Adjer returned to Port-aux-.

Basques on Monday morning, Aug. 20, and found that the Sarah L. Bryant, had arrived

‘there. on the preceding Wednesday, after a

_ voyage of 48 days. The preparation for paying out the cable occupied two or three days, and advant e was taken of this de-

~ lay to visit Cape orth, .in Cape Breton, and select a proper point for the termina- tion ofthe submarine line.

The point of starting was also changed from Port-aux-Basques to Cape Ray Cove, .where a very favorable spot was found for

- landing the end of the cable. A house was erected at this point, and the bark baving been towed to the cove by the

. James Adjer, the end ofthe cable was safely

, brought ashore on the evening ofthe %d.

The next day was foggy and unfavorable,

s but on Saturday morning, the ‘..’.5tli, the steamer took the bark in tow, and endea-

- voured to proceed to sea. A violent north-

'1 west wind was blowing, and while the vessels were endeavouring to get into line, a serious collision took place, which‘ seri- ously strained the cable. The attempt was then given up, but the bark soon afterward lost her anchor, and was drifting before the gale upon a reef of rocks, when she was obliged to cut the cable and set sail to save herself from wreck.

The cable was spliced on the following day, but as the junction was not found to be suﬂiciently strong, the two miles which had already been paid out were abandoned, and a new and hauled ashore and made fast. On the morning of _Tuesday, the 20th, the weather was calm and propitious, and the steamer towed the bark to sea. Her progress was slow at first, and by night not more than twenty miles of the cable were laid.

Owing to‘ a kink produced by uncoiling,

' itbroke during the night, occasioning a de- lay of eight hours. l‘he paying-out went on more rapidly next day, but a ‘south- eastern gale arose towards evening and be- came so violent, that the safety of the bark was endangered. After. all means of so-_

‘ ' curing her were exhausted, and her situa- t "tion‘was becoming more and more perilous,

the cable was cut to save her.

had already been broken by the violence of the strain. At the time this occurred 40 miles had been paid out, leaving 34 miles on board. The steamer was then about 30 miles distant from Cape North, the terminus of the submarine line. The British war- steamer Argus came up at the time and kindly offered her assistance.

The James Adjer, with the bark in tow, then proceeded to Sydney in Cape Breton, where she arrived on the afternoon of the 30th. Two days were spent in taking on board coals, water and provisions. The Sarah L. Bryant was left there, unloading the remainder ofthe cable.

The Adjer left Sydney on Sunday morn- ing, the 2d, and has had a speedy and pleasant return voyage.

All three of the insulated copper wires lnity of profiting by the previous experience

ofthat old Company, in laying the subma- riue cable which connects New Brunswick Wllll t’riiice Edward’s lsland,——a distance of about ten miles. They also brought to their work the experience of a gentleman engaged in laying the cable which connects Genoa with Corsica,--a distance of95 miles. They had the counsel and advice ol those who_have had the charge of layinw the wires across the British Channel, the Black Sea, and elsewhere. Still. in this enter-

rise, they have been unsuccessful. They

ave, however, learned a lesson from which they can derive much proﬁt. They have seen the mistaken economy of employinga sailing vessel in tow of a large steamer, rather than one single steamer of suﬁicient strength and capacity to carry the cable and to pay it out from- her own hold. They

speaking ofthe attempt of the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Com- pany to unite Europe and America by means of the Submarine Telegraph Com-

pagy, says: hese united companies propose buildin

a line from Halifax across the Island 0 Cape Breton to Cape North, thence across the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Cape Ray the South-western shore of Newfoundland, thence along the Southern coast of the latter island to St. John’s, on its eastern side, and there to connect with a great seb- marine cable having its terminus at Cork,

Ireland; the distance across the ocean be-

have also seen the importance of commen- cing their operations earlier in the season, and of having the management of their steamer in the control ofone man, nautical- ly and mechanically skilled, who is the- roughly and experimentally acquainted with all the coast, the sea-soundings, the ocean- ic and tidal currents, and the winds preva- lent at a given season of the year. Iftliey have learned this lesson, it ma

not have been too dearly bought at an,ex- pense of $30,000.

discovered by Lieut. Mauray in 1853, which, from its apparent purpose of holding the wires of a submarine telegraph, has been called the Telegraph Plateau. It is about 70 fathoms deep, gradually increasing in depth from the shores of Newfoundland to near those of Ireland, and some two or three miles in width. ‘

St. John’s is about two days nearer Eng- land than Halifax, and contains equal

facilities for coaling large steamers. dangerous rock, called the Merlin rock, at

the narrow entrance to the harbour, l8 feet below thesurface of low water, has just been successfully removed by the orders and at the expense ofthe New York, New- foundlund and London Telegraph Company, under the supervision of Mr. Husted ofNew York; so that now the largest steamers in the world can with safety pass in and out of that land-locked harbour. The company have now in process of erection commo- dious wharf accommodations, and , such other conveniences, as will secure to the Oceanic steamers all that is necessary for

their success.

Although the zeal and perseverance of this Company have been seriously tried by the failure of their first attempt to connect Cape Breton with Newfoundland, and by the severe loss to which they have been subjected thereby, yet they are not at all discouraged, but will be ready at the earli- est practicable moment, to try again. They were fully aware at the outset, t at serious -obstacles were to be overcome, before their object would be accomplished. They had bought out the charter of an old company, which had failed in its reject of uniting

persons wishing to purchase. For further particulars
