The HUeHEs PAINTING TELEGRAPH AND
THE ATLANTIC CABLE.-Private letters are re-
ceived i'll New York, from mem bers of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company in London, rep
resenting the success of the American Print
ing Telegraph instruments of Prof. Hughes,
in working through three thousand miles of
cable, as satisfactory in the highest degree.
This is the more creditable to Prof. Hughes,
as all other electricians and systems of tele-
graphing have utterly failed to transmit in
telligence reliably through. the extent of ca.
BILE, notwithstanding they have had whole
year for making experiments, and have ex-
pended for the company over 800, 900. The
astonishing performances of this wonderful
invention leave no room to doubt but that, in
the language of the London Times, "i it will
speedily supersede all other systems and Gre
ate an entire revolution in the telegraph bust
ness of the world"

MessrS. Editors Hearing that the rooms OF
the Academy Of Fine Arts were to be opened to
the public on Thursday evening, I embraced that
opportunity to visit the institution, which, am
happy to hear, is meeting with that success to
WHICH its merits entitle it, The spacious
halls are filled with works of art of character
seldom found in American cities, and which
must be of incaculable value in cultvating an ell
evated taste, not only in those receiving the ben
Its Of the school, but in the community which
counts such an institution among its Jewels OF
great price," noticed with pleasure a number
OF pictures, the work of pupils, and it may be al
most needless to say that they showed the value
OF thorough instruction, based upon careful at
tention to first principles.
But wish particularly to speak OF splendid
invoice of engravings which Miss Robinson has
Just received from Knoedler's great publishing
house in Broadway, New York. M. Knoeder,
as you may know, is the proprietor of the AmeTi-
can branch of the immense establishment of
Goppil Co, in Paris, which has other branch
eS IN London, Berlin, &c. We learn that there
has been demand for paintings and choice en-
Cravings, many visiting the institution with the
intention OF purchasing such works, could they
be obtained and to meet this demand these en-
cravings offered for sale affOrding oppOr-
tunlty. such as has never before occurred in this
city, for obtaining pictures Of standard excel
lence. noticed among them the artists proof
OF the engraved copy Of Winlehalter's splendid
painting "Forinda;" a great number Of pic
lures of merit equal to that of Leutze's Wash
ington Crossing the Delaware :; and, besides
these, number ahieh have just been imported
such as "Marie in the Desert" ''Cenci,"
dante" 1.-The Gardeners Daughter" "Fores-
ters Family" '.Shakspeare and his Friends,
THE Prayer" by Saut, 'Petite Mendiant,"
"Nlarie Antoinette,' Little Creole" Last
Prayer of the Children of Edward, y "Jane Gray"
Empress and Ladies' "Vierge Aldobrandini,"
and Napoleon and The Empress"
was grati6ed at the manifestations Of appre-
ciatige pleasure which these works chilled forth
from the delighted visitors, and think may
safely date from this time the dawning Of
in art for Worcester. LOVER OF ART.

SoUTHBRIDGE ITEMs.-We learn from the
Press that Charles Cogswell, aged tive years and
six months, son of Mason Cogswell, was drowned
on Wednesday forenoon LAST by falling into a
barrel of water, set into the ground back of the
house, which had been carelessly left uncovered.
The mother, missing her child. went out to search
for him, and saw the body floating on the water.
All efforts to restore the child to life were una
vailing.
A rogue entered the house Of Daniel Pratt, on
Sunday week, while the family were at church,
and helped himself to- the contents Of the pantry
as he left the house he was seen by man who
was passing, and taken into custody. The draw
ers, closets, &c., had been ransacked, but the au
thorties allowed HIM to depart, SO that others
may haye the benefit Of his visits.
The patriotic young men of Southbridge are
taking preliminary steps for "a public celebration
on the 4th of July.
: Some farmers in Southbridge have killed from
six to eight crows per day, for several days, by
the use of strychnine. They dissolve the poison
in alcohol, soak the corn in it, and then scatter
it over the fields.
The School Committee Of Southbridge are in
vestgating an alleged case of cruelty on the part
of one of the school teachers, in Furnishing Sc.
verely for trivial offence, one Of the pupils.
The boy received blows upon the head with,a fer.
ule, causing swellings, also marks upon the
shoulder and very many marks Of severe chas-
tisement upon other parts Of the body, the skin
turning purple.

sion to add, that if centrifugal force exists

towards dissolution of the Union.
The usual resolutions were passed. Ad-

TIGHT SQUEEzB.-One of the most marvel
Gus tales Of eqnine-imity is told by the Hav-
erhill (Mass.) correspondent OF the Tfaretier,
as follows:
horse getting loose in the stable Of Mr..
Cos. performed q singular feat one night last
week, by falling through a scuttie t,0enty sever
inches square, into the cellar which is about
twelve feet deep. The horse weighs 100
pounds, and was extricated from his unplea-
SAINT situation by cutting away the floor and
lifting HIM out with pulleys. He sustained
no material damage.

A TRAvELLER's NAME.-An Euglshman
travelling in Austria, called for the usual re-
gister of travellers. that he might duly de-
scribe himself The servant replied that he
he'd registered him IN full form as an Ling
lish gentleman of independent property.
''But how have you put down my name
l have not told it to you" "Ican't pronounce
it, sure, but copied it faithfully from your
portmanteau - but it is not e-bring

finding, instead of very plain English name,

A STRIKE FOR THE OLD PAY.-Messrs. Ed
tors :-fhe employees of Fox 4 Co IS factory, in
Worcester, a strike for their old pay, since
last Wednesday. They have worked at reduc-
ton of % per cent. from their old pay since last
Fall, till Wednesday last; and they think that
the prosperous business of the factory now justi
fes them in claiming an increase of % per cent,
so as to receive the old pay. Only four hands
wages, and these merit the just indignation of
those on the strike, whose motto is Fair labor
and fair pay" The strikers hope that no new
comefs will work for reduced wages

TEXAS GETTING ANTI SLAVERY New
Orleans Bee says There is serious danger
of the utter defeat of Southern hopes and as
pirations, touching Texas, and that in the very
heart of the South, in the region best Of all
adapted to the successful cultivation of South
ern products, and to the consequent remuner-
ating employment of slave labor, feeling Of
settled opposition to SLAYER. exists, which, if
not counteracted, will ultimately neutralize
the entire benefit conferred by the act of 1850 !,
and incorporate the largest, finest, and most
fertile part Of Texas into the family Of free
States.
