Ex-President Pierce aucl lady were traveling in

U. S. Consul at Madeira.
Governor Denver arrived at Washington on the J
13th of July.
The Atlantic Telegraph a Failure.
By this arrival we have news ofthe failure of
the Second attempt to lay the Atlantic cable. The
news was conveyed to Quet-ns-fown,- Ireland, by j
(he Niagara. The Briti-h wai* steamer Agium-m
Don had not arrived iu England at latest dales.
The Cork Reporter gives the following account
Ofthe operations ofthe telegraph squadron :
The Niagara and Gorgon,.attached-to the squadron for the laying of the tUe transatlantic cable,
arrived in Queenstown, at an early hour this morning, We regret having to announce that the oh
ject'of the expedition has for the present failed,
aud we shall now give our readers such paiticu-
lars of the events which occurred in the course -of
the undertaking as we have been  able  to collect.
The Agamemnon and her tender the Valorous,
and the Niagara and her tender the Gorgon, sailed
from Plymouth on the loin of June;  P!lc1i   of  the
great vessels carrying about 1500 of cable, with
an improved aparatus lor paying it opt, which it
is calculated would have allowed for any strain
or unequal motion of the ships, as the very speed
ofthe vessels regulated by automatic arrangements the rate at which the coil was to- be discharged. After having been three days at Bea,
the expedition was overtaken by a fearful gale-
which continued without intermission for nine
days. On the seventh day of this tieapy weather
the ships, which continued to keep together, had
to part company, and the Agamemnon had to scud
before the wind for thirty-six hours ; her coal got
adrift, and a coil of her cable shifted, so that her
captain Jor some time entertained serious apprehensions for her safety, and from the immense
strain her waterways were forced open, and one of
her ports was broken. Two of her sailors were
everely injured, aud one of the marines lost his
eason from fright. Yet such was the consummate
skill, good seamanship, and intrepidity of her
commander, Captain Praede, lhat he was enabled
to bring her to the appointed rendezvous, lat. 52
deg. 2 min , long. 33 deg. 18,min.
The Niagara rode out the storm gallantly, having ouly carried away her jibboom and oue wing
ol the figure-bead, the great American eagle.
Ail the vessels having at length arrived at their
central point of junction, the fitst splice of the
cable was made on the 26th. After" hating paid
out two and a half miles each, owing to an accl"
dent on board the Niagara, the cable parted.
The ships having again met, the splice was
made good, and they commenced t'o pay out the
cable a second time ; but alter they had each payed out forty miles, it was reported that the elec"
trie current was broken, and no communication
could be made between the ships. Unfortunately,
in this instance, the breakage must have occurred
at the bottom, as the electricians, from the fine
calculations which their sensitive intrumeuts allows them to make, were able to declare such to
have been the fact,, even before the vessels came
together again.
Having cast off this loss,, they met for the third
time and recovered the connection of the cable on
the 2Sth. They then started afresh, and the Niagara having payed out over 150 miles of cable,
all on board entertained the most sanguine anticipations of success, when the fatal announcement was made on Tuesday, the 29th, at nine p.
M., that the electric current had ceased to flow.
As the necessity of abandoning the project for the
preseut was now only too manifest, it was considered that the opportunity might as well be availed of to test the strength ofthe cable. Accordingly, this immense vessel, with all her stores,
etc., was allowed to swing to the cable, and, in ad
dition, a strain of four tons was placed upou the
breaks, yet, although it was blowing fresh at the
time, the cable held her as if she had been at anchor, ior over an hour, when a heavy pitch of the
sea snapped the rope, and the Niagara bore away
for this port. It appears that before starting, an
arrangement was made that, should any accident
occur in'paying out the cable belore the ships had
gone one hundred miles, they should return to
their starting place in mid ocean ; but tbat, in
case the distance Bhould have been exceeded he-
fure any casualty happened, (hey should make for
Queenstown. In accordance with this understand
ing, the Niagara having made 100 miles before the
mishap, returned to this port. Upon her homeward way she must have passed tho -Agamemnon,
but owing to the heavy fogs which prevailed for
the greater portion of the time, she missed seeing
or gaining any tidings of her.
As the Agamemnon has not yet arrived, although
her destination was directed towards this shore, it
is conjectured that she might not  have delivered
Utj of c
il   ,
Lliu   '
failure, and may have consequently returned tn
thoir place of meeting, which will unavoidably
protract the suspense which must necessarily be
felt, as, until she be spoken with nothing definite
cau be learned as to the occasion of this disaster'
Tbe two principal electricians, Mr. Santy and
Doctor Lawes, on board the Niugara, are inclined
to believe that the accident occurred on board the
Agamemnon, which, as it would implicate a fauifv
arrangement of some ofthe apparatus, would stili
leave hope of the ultimate success of the undertaking ; whereas, if the separation has occurred-
at the bottom, itB effects will be to damp, if not
deter, the enterprising spirit of the director!! from
persevering in this gigantic project. Should nothing be heard of her consort, the Niagara will, after coaling, proceed to her ocean station, having
still on board about 1,300 miles of the cable, whicb.
supposing that the other vessel had retained a
similar amount, weald still permit of the junction
being completed, and allow thirty per eent. (or
casualties. In this last trial Borne 500 miles of the
cable were lost, aud wben it is calculated that it
was roughly estimated that the value ol the cahle
ia about £100 a mile, it will be seen that the sacrifice up to the present has not been so extensive
as might at first sight have been supposed.
