Great Sale of Paintings by the Old Masters
at Clinton Hall, This Day.

One of the most important sales of paintings
which has ever occurred in this city takes place
this day, at Clinton Hail. The entire collection,
from one of the most celebrated galleries in Italy,
to be sold without reserve. This gallery has at
racted the greatest attention from artists and anna
eurs, and SO great the interest excited by the
nouncement of the sale, that connoisecurs from
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and other distant
cities, have come on here to attend it. II contains
a large number Of undoubted originals Of Corregio,
Pietro Tesla, Domenichin, and other old masters
Of the Italian school. The sale itself will be a
most attractive and interesting scene, and will
tract a great crowd. 1t is quite unnecessary now
speak Of the importanc of this opportunity
to become possessed of invaluable old paintings.
OMNIBUS DRIvING-A beautiful female child.
aged about three years, was run over by one of
Pamers stages in Greenwich lane, near Eleventh
street, yesterday evening, and instantly killed
The poor little creatures mead was almost severed
from It's body, one Of the wheels Of the omnibus
having passed over its neck. Its parents, poor in
dusrlous Irish people, of the name of Scullon were
quite distracted, and the whole scene was of the
most heart-rending description. The result of the
inquest, which will be held to-day, will discover
whether the driver was guilty of carelessness. But
we cannot allow the melancholy opportunity to
pass without calling, in the most emphatic manner,
on the new Common Council for some immediate
reform of this whole omnibus system The rivalry
between the numerous lines of stages has produced
so many evils, both as respects the convenience
and safety of the public, that prompt measures
must be taken to prevent such frghtfu accidents,
and to ensure greater attention to the comfort of the
public Thisis by no means a ,rifling matter, and
| shall recur to it soon.
MUsTcAL.-We perceive that Ole Bull is creating
| a great sensation in Boston, having commenced
his concerts there. The newspapers there are full
of him. A great anxiety TO see and hear him in
Boston was produced by Mrs. Childs admirable
description of him in the Boston Courier. We
shall give this in few days. as it is one of tise
most interesting accounts OF the great maestro vet
published. The journals at Lowell, Providence.
and other cities, are calling on him to give con-
certs, and we suppose he will in each Of those
places.

THE Texas QUESTION IN THE LAST CENTURY. -
We have received couple of letters of the cele-
brated Alexander Hamilton, the friend and asso-
clate of General Washington in the war Of the Re.
luton, and his Secretary of the Treasury the
organization of his first administration. These
letters, siugulary enough, have reference to the
annexation Of Texas in that day, or what was
much the same thing, the annexation of Louisiana,
arguing in its favor matter Of necessity, in
der to protect the southern frontier Their bear
ing on the great questions of the day make these
letters very interesting, and we shall publish them
tomorrow or next day. They contain the senti-
ments of great man of the last age, and ought TO
have great deal of influence on the liu e men Of

HORSE Power AND STEAM Power 1t seems
that as the speed of steam locomotives increases
the speed of our horses increases also, and pari
pass,s with each other. Quicker time has never
been known than that lately made several OF the
eastern railroads by steam engines, and on several
courses by race horses And fleet nags have made
their appearance on common roads and have made
time not only remarkably quick, but almost equal
TO the speed OF locomotives. Last week gentle
man from Boston had occasion to travel short dis
lance from Springfield, Mass, and he obtained from
Noyes Co., of that place, pair OF splendid colts
and wagon. With these colts he made thirteen
miles in fraction over forty.one minutes, and
came in without scarcely the loss OF a bit Of wind
on the part of the colts. This is to be accounted
for in the superior training which horses now re-
ceive in this country. Go where You will and you
see an improvement in horses, and indeed in all
kinds of animals Breeds have been crossed, and
horses, sheep, &c, now reach high point Of per-
