THE ATLANTIC CABLE.-A correspondent of the New York Evening Post says:--"We learn at the telegraph office that other communications have been received through the Atlantic cable, but that it is not yet open for business. If the Company are not receiving any income from that source, they certainly are from the lead mines that were located in the fifty miles square donated to the Company by the government. Some one hundred and fifty men are at work in the mines, and several shiploads have been sent to New York. I mention this fact, for I have not seen it noted in the papers."
