LC RRESPONDENGR OF THE N. f. MEMALD. Quasxstown, IneLanp, July 15, 1858. In the report of the details of the last expedition of the Telegraph :quadron you were informed that the attempt to lay the cable had failed and that the Niagara and her es- c:rt, the Gorgon, had’both returned’to Queenstown. Ao- cording to the torms cf the written agreement the whole fleet were to return after the two cable ships should have gone cver one hundred miles towards their separate des- timations, and it was in compliance with this explicit under- standing that the Niagara proceeded to the point indicated therein. We arrived hero on the 6th July, expecting to find the Agamemnon bad got in before us, We were consi derably disappointed, however, when we learned there ‘were os yet no tidings of her, although she had over two hundred miles the start of us on her course. The suppo- tition that she had not gone one hundred miles was great- ly awengthened by her nom appearance, and we were forced to the conclusion, after two or three days, that she bad really returned to the rendezvous and was there awaiting us. Day afterday passed, and yet there was no Agamemnon, 20 Valorous. Terrible stories were circala ted about the missing shipe—it was said that wo had abandored them and that the Agamemnon had gone down. The London Zimes, with the most indecent haste, accused us of circulating reports throwing the discredit of the failure ca the Agamemnon, and intimated that they must wa't ber arrival before they received reliable intel. ligence. At last the Agememnon made her appear- ance, having returned, as we supposed, to tho rendezvcus in mid-ocean. The reliable intéill- parted pbne’ “ ay Bs fi her wenty rom. gone a distance of one huadred miles, or seven miles more than our ship.

The epgipeers are urable to say what was tn cause of the fracture, as the strain uy the cable cid not exoced twenty-two bundred at the time; but it ia to be hoped that Mr. Bright, who has gove to Condon to a'soad a meeting of the directore, will beab'e to throw some light upon the matter. There is one consolation to be had, however, from the fact tnat the contiauity was do knows fracture of the cable, aad that is to be found in the stronger prospect of success theu there could possioly be if the interruption of the electrical com- munication were produced by some uaexpia'nsd csuse like that which attended the second accident to the cable of the be beld last night, though with jearoed. what result we have vot yet There is no doubt that we will’ sail oa Saturday, the 17th inetant.

Loudoa Timo } At balf-past twelve, on Monday morning, the Agamom- nop apchored off Queenstown, having, as your ore are LOW aware, falied in the attempt to submerg Atlantic cable. Tbearrival ef the Nisgara must made known the bere fact that the cable bad parted, and the tremendous gales aad unfavorable weather whica all the equadron bad to contend agaiust, more or less, thoug only those on board the Agamemnon cen be said to kaow the real nature of the peri! which was encountered, and long series of diffloul mishaps and mii which marked almost the ectire cruise from frst to last. Not often baye to many adverse and @ f cir cumatances boeu crammed into a voyage of thiriy-three days, aad never have the enterprise, skill and cyurage of all connected with the undertaking ‘been more conspica ously displayed than in overcoming each obstacle as it arose almost with ae day.

For once, however, fortune did not favor the bold. The attempt to Isy the cable failed three times, and ones in the mcst mysterious manner; aud those cn beard have only the satisfaction of knowing that everything that care and foresight coulk! suggest was done. Beyond this consciousness that all has been achior ed that was possible with such mater! no comfort is to be gleaned from the late attempts except, parhaps,, in ‘the fact that as much wire of more atili remains than the pedition was commenced with last year, and that both versels will start again for anotber and a last tho Inetant they have fliled up with conl—that is, day rext at latest.
