THE ATLANTIC TELHGRAPH EXPEDITION. ‘TRB CABLE BROKEN—MR. FIELD'S ACCOUNT OF THE DISASTER. ‘The Atlantic Telegraph Cable is broken, and operations fer the present are suspended. The British steamer Cy- hops had returned to Valentia with Mr. Field on board. ‘Skat gentioman immediately repaired to London to confer ‘with the directors as to future movements. He tele- (grapbed the following to Mr, Richard Stuart, agent of the Associated Press at Liverpool :— Lowpom, Saturday Morning, August 15, 1857. Ber Majesty's steamer Leopard arrived at Portamouth @m Friday evening, tho 14th inst., and reports that tho Allantio cable was lost ata quarter before 4 o’clook on ‘Tuesday morning, the llth inst, after having paid out waccessfulty 335 nautical miles ¢f the cable, and lost 100 miles of it in water over two milos in depth, and the greater pari of this atthe rate of rather more than five kmots an hour. At Che time the accident occurred there wasa heavy swell om. The Niagara was going at therale of four knots per Desur, and as the engineer thought the cable was running out ‘en (00 great a proportion to the speed of the ship, he consider. 08 4 necessary to direct the brakes tobe applied more firmly, when, unfortunately, te cable parted at some distance from te stern of the ship. ‘The Agamemnon, Niagara and Susquchanna are to ro. ‘main a short time where the cable parted, to try some ex- pertmenia in the deep water of that part of the Atlantic @iwo thousand fathoms), which |t is considered will be of great value to ihe Telegraph Company, and then all go to Fiymouth, England. ‘The Oygleps was sent back with despatches to Valentis, end was thea to join the Leopard at Portsmouth. Although the unfortunate socident will postpone the @omplotion of this great undertaking for a short time, (ie vemuit of the experiments has beon to convince all those who took part in il of the entire practicability of the enterprise; fer with some alight alterations in the paying out machi” mary there appears to be no great diffioalty in laying own the cable; and it has been clearly proved that you Gam telegraph sucocesfully through twenly Sve hundred miles of cable, and know that its submersion at a great depth had no peroceptibie influence on the electric cur- vent. There is no obstacle to laying !t down at the raic ef Qve miles per hour in the greatest depth of water on the platena between Ircland and Newfoundland, ‘The experience now obtained must be of great value to (he company, and !t is understood tha} the directors wil! decide whether 11s best to have more cable made and wy again immediately after the equinoctial gales are over, ov wal until snother summer, In Liverpool aa impres fon prevails that another trial will take place in Oc- bpber. A Liverpool paper reports the arrival of the Niagara, @usquchanna and Agamemnon at Plymouth on Friday, but deudtiens it was 6 mistaks. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM INDIA.

THE BXOITEMENT If THE ATRRET—APPEARANCE OF THINGS AT BUSINESS HOURS. ‘The excitement in Wall street seemed to intensify yes- terday. There was far more appearance of uneasiness on the atveet than the day previous, as If its frequenters were beginsing to feel that dapgor was closing round them. One topic alone appeared to occupy every little knot of restless conversationists, and that was the position of the city banks. It was rumored in the morning that a ran bad taken place on the Hanover Bank, in Nassau street, This, together with tho temporary arrest of John Thomp- fon on a charge of alleged fraud, and the faiture of Jacob Little, contributed to the sense of insecurity which was manifested in almost every face. Now and then opinions were freely expressed as to the solvency of certain institutions; and such expressions as ‘Twas a bad bargain,” and “I wish the concern wag elsewhere before I touched it;’’ “I never thought much of the Island City,” and “The devil take his Coal Company,”” might be heard at all sides. A passer-by, struck by the evident confusion and ner vousness all round, and the frequent use of the words stocks, railroads, money, intermixed with a few stroag expletives—though such are familiar as household words in that locality—shrewdly remarked, that there was hard- ly & man in Wall street could tell who was President or the United States if asked the question suddenly. ‘The doors of the Ohio Lifs and Trust Company’s office ‘Were open yeaterday, aud people cocasionally popped im thetr heads to take @ peep at ihe deputy Sheriffs in charge of the property. Mr. Thompson, thovgh he had been ar- rested on @ warrant lesued by Judge Hoffman, was sitting calmly in his office im the afternoon, receiving his friends, and attempting to allay the anxiety of those who were im- Portuning him. The circulation of a ‘‘sensation” band” bill which the newsboys were vending ats penny apiece in Wall street and the neighborhood, and which purported to put the pubic om their guard agaiust certain banks , made a little censation among the uninitiated; but the knowing ones flung !t ignominiously away, so that the gutters and areas were soon filled with the philaathropio document The who ssembied on ’Change at three o'clock , did noi seem to share much in the excitement ap- Parent on tho sidewelke. Their demeanor was about as calm and dignified as usual. The securiiy of our city Danks was a subject of conversetion with them, and the general opinion seemed to be that there was not much to be apprebended in tha\ quarter. All \be excitement seem- od to be among the stook brokers and stook gamblers. THE LIABILITIES OF TEE OHIO LIVE INSURANCE COMPANY—ATTACHMENTS [8@URD. SUPREME COURT —AVRCIAL TERM, Before Hon.
