There is no question but that the camel coal in

the manufacturing way, have been most sue

As this matter is one of the utmost impor-
tancc, and growing rapidly into public notice
hope to be able before leave, to put before you
some facts showing what has been accomplished,
and Hvhat may be accomplished. The cannal
coal oil is being used all over the country, and
dare say that in few years it will be so re-
duccd in price, as to become the oil Of commerce.
Every month develops some improvement, and
when we look now at the clear, amber colored
liquid which has taken the place OF the black,
inky aud bad smelling oil of few months back
we must be prepared to witness many other
Improvements of a like nature. So let us look
into matter of such Importance. Light must
be had, and machinery must be oiled, and we
all have an interest in the two matters, in which
our health, happiness and life depend.

the tickets before reaching Palmer, and imme-

pay of plaintiff for his passage from Palmer to
Warren, alleging that plaintiffs ticket was
only to Palmer. The plaintiff refusing to pay,
the conductor stopped the train and put him
off. AS the case was called for trial, the de-
PENDANTS settled with plaintiff by paying him

CHANGE OF PRopR1EToRsHIP.

The WORCESTER DAILY and WEEKLY SPY
and all the title and interest of the sub
scribers in the Establishment, have been sold
to JOHN D. BALDWIN, Esq; and the under
signed retire from the concern on and after this
date. The connection of the subscribers with
THE SPY has been BRIEF and for reasons which
we do not here enumerate, because they do
not interest the public But the senior partner
feels it incumbent on him to say, in justice to
himself that the circumstances which have led
to this withdrawal, are beyond his responsible
ity and control. He would that they had been
otherwise.
We leave THE SPY in the most prosperous
condition Both the subscriptions and adver-
Using have largely increased since the Office
came into our hands; and they cannot fail to
increase in still larger ratio in the future,
Mr.. Baldwin, our successor, is gentleman OF
superior talent excellent TACT and sterling
character, and has had large experience in the
newspaper business. His former success in
the management of the Commonwealth" and
the Telegraph" in Boston, is guarantee of
his ability and faithfulness.
Mr.. Baldwin will associate with him his two
sons, who have been brought up in the news
paper business, and who will render important
assistance in their respective departments.
We rejoice to leave The SPY in so good hands;
and we urge upon the citizens of this City and
County-and especially the Republican voters
to extend to it that generous need of patron
age which it deserves and merits.
The character and general tone of The SPY
under our management, we leave to the judg-
ment of our readers, to whom we return our
sincere thanks for their liberal support.
From our brethren of the press of this City
and County, with a single exception, we have
received the most courteous treatment On
parting, we tender them our warmest wishes
for their happiness and prosperity.

MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE.
TUESDAY, March Is.
CUSN IN

SENATE.
Twenty four reports of committees were
made, accompanied by twenty-one bills and re-
solves.
The several bills in aid of Tufts's College,
the Wilbraham Academy, the Museum OF
Comparative Zoology, and to increase the

The Committee on Banks, on the petition Of
manning Nhebi So VI AHA
practices by the Brighton Bank, made report
giving statement of facts, and concluded by
saying 1.-THE Directors have taken enor-
nous interest, and to hide their bold violation
OF law, have kept the money SO derived in a
private trust, so that it does not appear at all
upon the books of the bank. These transac-
tions were to large amount, and when to the
sums so secreted is added the exchange which
appears upon the books of the bank, it is ap-
parent that the proceedings of the Directors
were of character demanding the most en-
phatic condemnation.
The Committee recommend that the peti
ton and all the papers relating to the case be
referred to the Attorney General"

CUBAN MOVEMENT IN New YoRK.-A
Democratic meeting was held in New York on
Monday evening, in favor of the annexation of
Cuba 1t was addressed by John Cochrane,
Member of Congress from that city, and by
Senator Brown from Mississippi. We give,
below, some extracts from his speech, as re-
ported in the Herald, the organ of the admins
tration in that city. The character of the
speech, and the high favor with which it was
received, reveal, at once, the present position
of the Democratic party, as well as the taste
and regard to principle manifested by both
leaders and their supporters.
After giving various reasons why Cuba
should be annexed, Mr.. Brown said:
II have little private reason of my own,
which it would not be proper for me to keep
from you. want Cuba for the extension of
slavery. | speak for myself, and not for any

cheers for Brown.
Mr.. Brown said he had spoken the senti-
ments of his own heart in its deepest recesses,
and be believed he had spoken the sentiments
OF a vast majority of the Democratic party.

REsEATING THE Representatives Hall
We understand that the committee appointed
to consider the matter of reseating the Repre-
sentatives' Hall at the State House, have
agreed to report, and adopted plan which
they will report to the House to-day. This
plan provides for two hundred and forty
seats-to be similar in their construction to
those in use at the Boston Theatre, with an
additional improvement, so arranged that if it
shall be decided to be best, every member can
have a desk, in addition to capacious drawer
which the seat embraces. The floor is to be
lowered so as to dispense with the present
steep pitch, and giving it a regular inclination
of about four inches to the foot. The report

CURIOUS SCIENTIFIC Discovery. - M.
Moser. of Konigsberg, Prussia, it is said, has
shown that light constantly emanates from all
bodies, even in complete darkness, and that
when placed near each other they receive upon
their surfaces reciprocally pictures of each
other. These Photographic pictures, however,
are invisible, and continue to be so until they
are developed by the application of certain va
pors, such as that of water, mercury, jooine,
&c. These marvellous discoveries of M. Mo.
ser have been fully confirmed by other more
recent enquirers.

A STRANGE AND SINGULAR CAsE.-Some-
time the last season, Mr.. William Eaton,
substantial yeoman of the neighboring town OF
Auburn, found five hundred dollaFs, in good
bank bills, by the wayside, between this city
and Millbury and, though he advertised the
same in THE SPY and elsewhere, he never had
any claim made for it, nor obtained any infor-
nation relating to it, till Thursday last. On
that day, as he informs US, he was passing
down Main street, in this city, when he was
accosted by person of gentemanly appear
ance, who inquired if he was William Eaton of
Auburn. On being answered that he was, the
man inquired if he did not find some money
beside the road leading from Worcester to Mill
bury. Mr.. Eaton told him that he did, and if
he was the person who placed it there, he must
describe it. The stranger then gave partic-
ular and exact account of it. Mr.. Eaton asked
him how he obtained the money, and he an
swered, that it was none of his business, but if
he would pay him half the amount, it was all
he would ask of him. These circumstances
looked so suspicious, that Mr.. Eaton proceeded
to inquire his name and residence, and sug-
gested that he would rather consult his friends
before paying over the money. To this the
stranger replied, that his name was "JoHN
BULL" and if Mr.. Eaton did not forthwith
pay over the money, he would be revenged
upon him, the first opportunity that should Of
fer-at the same time putting his hand in his
pocket and very suggestively drawing pistol
in sight. Mr.. Eaton not wishing to get into
any difficulty with such a person, paid him
the amount demanded, without any farther
hesitation AS he took it, he gave three
cheers, and then left in such manner as APP
peared to indicate fear of being pursued. The
case is, certainly, a most remarkable one.
