The rush for ‘the several editions of the Hensin was simost unpreoe dented, and every despatch tended only tw increase the anxiety and produce additional sensation. It was univer. sally felt that the greatest triumph of human imgenvity and enterprise bad been successfully accom plished beyond the shadow of doubt. Nevertheless, it ‘was apparent, from the continued inquiries and the ever \nereas'ng desire for further news, that the people every- where burned with anxious feelings to hear something additional to what was already known. People wore frequenty beard to ask, “ Has the Queen's message ar- rivea’”” Others would remark that they believed any- ‘thing porsible now.

New York, August 6, 1858. The joy universally manifested at the announcement of the successful Isying of the Atlantic cable, warrants me in addressing you, with the view to making a few sugges- tions respecting the national demonstrations which should be made in honor of this, undoubtedly the greatest achievement of mankind. I notice that the ‘‘blue neses’’ or people of Halifax are making vast preparations to cele- brate the event, and that the moment the joyfu) news ar- rived, all the bells of the city were tolled, and the utmost enthusiasm was exhibited by all classes. Cannot we, the citizens of this great city, get up something worthy of our great name and of this great event? Itseems to me it proper to have the whole city illu- minated—private houses and public—either on Monday or Tuesday evening, in order not to be bebind other places in giving to our gratification at the bappy iasue of this stupendous enterprise. As one, I must con- fess that the two first attempts rather dampened my ardor and lessened my faith in the practicability of the project, 80 Sas the successful beget ig ae like an electri: shock— ve grate! one assure you—upon me, rig etd buildings should be decked with ‘he ne tional colors, and, if practicable, with the colors of all nations, for it is an achievement which will be found a blessing, not merely to the two countries who have had the honor of taking tne lead in the noble work, but to the world.

He was conveyed to the New York Hospital, where his wounds were dressed ; but he willjprobably die before morning.
