The Atlantic Cable.
NEW YoRK. Dec. l3.

NEw York, Dec. Is.
A letter from Valentia, Nov 2lst, states
that the large shore end Of the Atlantic Cable
was laid on the previous Friday. Five miles
were laid and it is believed that if the seven
miles still at Greenwich had been added to it
the result would have been satisfactory. After
passing the spot where the shore end united,

the undermining Of the small cable, discov-
cred kink where the conducting wire was
exposed to the water The defective part was
cut out and tine undermining discontinued,
though it is probable that other defects of the
kind would have been discovered. The cable
was not tested after the shore end had been
attached, Tor was there anybody at Valentia
capable Of doing it.

to very conflicting opinions. The crop Of

THB EXPLOSION AND FIRE AT PAwTUCKET.-
We find in the Providence Journal a minute &C.
count Of the boiler explosion at the mill Of
Messrs. Dexter Brother, in Pawtucket, Mon
day morning. The fireman minced is James
Duff The lad injured is Thomas Black, son Of
Andrew Black. The fireman, Duff. is very badly
scslded in almost every part of his body, and his
recovery is exceedingly doubtful He has a wife
and seven children, and his condition is such that
he is unable to give an intelligent or connected
account of the probable cause of the accident
The little boy, Black, was found, some time after
the explosion, on pile Of brick, near the head
of the broken boiler He, too. is badly burned,
and there is but a slight chance of his recovery.
How he came to be in the mill at so unseasoua.
Bile an hour, no one knows, but he probably slept
there through the night.
The Injury to the mill by fire was not so great
before stated. About forty bales of cotton
stored in the basement, was burned. The engine
sustained essential injury, and can be easily
repaired In the first story the machinery was
nearly all so much injured to unfit it for furth
er nse. Serious damage was also inflicted in the
second story by steam, water, and smoke, and
considerable damage was done in the third story
by the same elements There was an insurance
on the building and machinery Of S2l 900, divid'
ed equally IN the sum of $4,000 among the follow
ing Offices The Atlantic and Merchants Of
Providence, the Hartford, the North Western and
the Western Massachusetts, of Pittsfeld. On the
stock, owned by MessIs Dexter Brother,
there an insurance of $1,000, divided equally
in the sum Of $3.50 among the following offices;
The Merchants of Providence. the Hartford, the
North Western, and the Western Massachusetts.
The factory owned BY Nathaniel 6. B. Dex.
ter, snd was run by Messrs. Dexter & Brother for
the manufacture ofyarn.
The loss sustained by DR.. Davis amounts to
$1,000, on which there is no insurance. Mr.
Alnys loss is about $500.

PEACE. Coon WILL TOWARD MEN'-The
sublime and affecting language of Scripture
has been appropriately selected to announce
an event which nothing short of the words
of inspiration can adequately express. The
song which the heavenly host sang at the
greatest event in the history of man may well
be repeated over an event that has hardly
been surpassed by human agency. The idea
of instantaneous communication between
America and Europe is SO great the mind can
hardly take it in. Its consequences no man
may dare predict. The effect which it will
have upon civilization and human progress
can no more be foreseen, than the remote eff
feet of the art of printing could be foreseen
by the men who invented movable types.
Few are the generations in whose course
an event of equal magnitude has taken place.
Compared to it, how the great victories that
have Redeemed the land and the sea fade into
nothing What are the triumphs of war
compared to those of peace, of science, of
civilization.-P Prov. Journal.

GRAND CONCBRT.-Our citizens are to be
treated, on Tuesday evening, August Oath, to a
first class concert, by lady, Miss Brainerd, who,
though personally unknown to most of them,
comes with character well established, as
most charming vocalist and first class artistic, of
high qualifications, natural and acquired. The
New York Musical World, and the Musical Re.
0ie'o, speak of her in terms of high commenda-
tion and praise and the New York EUening Post
second in authority in musical matters, only to
the forenaned publications, says:
Miss Brainerd is one of the most gifted and
charming of vocaists, and has, in but a few years.
attained to very high rank in her profession
At Juhen's monster concerts, at the Philhar
nome concerts, Eisfeld's, at the oratorios, and
at the concerts given by herself, she has always
deserved, as well as achieved, the greatest sue
cess"
D'osght's Journal the Tribune Mirror, En-
press, and all the leading New York papers, as
well as those of other cities, speak in similar
style of her merits With such authority, our
readers may promise themselves a treat when
Miss Brainerd comes. Her voice is a pure sopra-
no, of great richness and melody, and is said by
Delights Journal to be "always the same, and
agreeable in every part of its compass" We
shall have occasion to refer to the subject again,
and, in the mean time, would refer our readers to
the advertisement in this paper.

Quite an excitement prevailed in Milbuly, yester.
day, by the disappearance of man under such
circumstances as to give rise to the most serious
apprehensions. He left Tourteott's hotel on
Monday evening, without hat or coat, saying to
some Of the inmates that they never would see
him there again, and making other expressions,
indicating suicidal intention. Not returning, a
general alarm was given on Tuesday morning, the
ponds were dragged, the woods perambulated,
and every conceivable place searched, where it was
supposed he could be found 1t was all of no
avail, however, till farmer in the outskirts of the
town, while visiting his barn to feed his cattle,
suddenly discovered the lost man, safely escons.
ed in hay-mow, with plentiful rations of good
bread and cheese, of which he was partaking with
zest which indicated anything rather than an
Intention to shuttle off this mortal COLI by the
