The Atlantic Telegraph Cable Enterprise

NEW YORK, March 27.

Private advices from London, of the 14th, state that Mr. Field, with other leading gentlemen, and capitalists interested in the Atlantic Telegraph Cable Enterprise, were to meet Lord Palmerston at noon on the 21st inst., and that the prospect of satisfactory termination of negotiations with the Government, in regard to necessary capital to secure the proposed new cable, were very encouraging.  Mr. Field confidently hoped to return to New York with assurances of the earnest co-operation of the British Government, in the great undertaking which he has so long and ably endeavored to bring to a successful issue.
