The first resolve simply embodies statements
which aobody IN Congress or out of it, Norh

looks quite Anti Slavery, but has no practical
meaning. Why did the Convention dodge the
question of the power of Congress to prohibit

The Ocean TELEGRAPH.

On the 97th of June the ship Alice
Monroe spoke the Telegraph Fleet in
Latitude 81" 5 min, Lon $50 10 min
The Niagara and Agamemnon had mel
with severe weather, the Agamemnor
sailing badly, and at one time in great
danger of laundering. The two vessels
and their tenders had arrived at the point
in mid ocean when the laying of the wire
was to commence on the 96th.
A connection was effected, the weather
being then sufficiently calm. The pay
ing out of the cable had scarcely COM
menced before the wire snapped. After
a few hours detention another splice was
made, and the steamers started-the Ag-
amemnon and her consort for Ireland, and
the Niagara and her companion for the
American coast. Signals were kept up
constantly between the two fleets, a mes.
sage being transmitted every fifteen min
utes, and all was going on well until about
forty miles had been paid out, when the
electricians on board the Niagara discov-
cred that the current was broken. This
was at 1ek o'clock p. NJ.
The Niagara was Immediately put
about and had already reached the mid
ocean rendezvous, where at 8 O'Clock she
was first seen by the Alice Monroe. 1t
was believ, I'd on board the Niagara that
the cause of the second break was a kink
in the Agamemnon's portion of the cable,
caused by its disarrangement during the
gale, but of this there is no certainly.

Musical

The TIumbull and Mercer Musical
association held their first session al
Hartford Centre, June 10Th, commencing
at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, and closing on the
evening of the 18Th, with a public con-
cert, attended by a large number of peo-
pie, all of whom gave evidence of salts
faction by keeping the most perfect or
der. The convention was attended
throughout by some sixty singing Teach
ers and singers, from many Towns Of
our own and Mercer counties, compris-
ing a combination of musical talent and
energy, rarely found in any of our best
regulated singing choirs, all expressing
a determination to improve and elevate
the present "Old Hundred" style Of ex-
ecuting music and strive to awaken a
deeper interest in that beautiful art. This
Convention was conducted by Mr.. Z. A.
Bently and his sister, of Lenox. Ashta-
bula Co. Mr.. B. devoted his time in
featuring 10 the. class upon the best mode
of teaching vocal music, and also assist
ed them in performing and reheaIsing
their pieces for the Concert, which for
the first attempt. We think was a great
success. As for Miss Bently, the class
consider her inferior to but few, il any,
of the modern Jenny Linds, who traverse
our country, giving concerts; either as
regards her style of vocal music, CT the
execution of her instrumental sofas and
accomplishments. One of the pieces
performed by the association, was the
celebrated .Oratoria" or "Cantata of
Esther, composed by VIM. B. Bradbury,
which is extremely difficult to execute,
requiring one hour and a quarter, yet,
it vas successfully performed, as
all who heard it can testify.
At the commencement of the session,
Constitution and By-eLaws were adop-
ted by the Convention, after which a
President, Vice President, Secretary,
Treasurer, Conductor and a com mittee
Of six. were chosen by the Convention,
as officers for the ensuing year. The
committee consists of three Ladies and
three Gentlemen, whose business it is to
examine persons lin regard to their sing
ing qualities, wishing to become mem
bers of the Association.
At the close of the Concert, the fol-
Resolutions were adopted by the
Convention
Resolved, That our Secretary be requir.
