We (Gardener's Chronicle) learn from a ecTrespondent
in Canada that the American Scientific Association meet.
at Albany the third week in Aug., and propose to send
invitations t • 20 or 30 of the leading savants of Europe.
They will a-k these gentleman to become their guests,
and to accept free pass Ag-, to America and back.
It. is also utiderstood that the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada will pass these visiti.re over their line free. , The
American Scientific Association is organised like cur
Association for the Advancement of Science, and will
rise in time for the members to proceed, if they pleive,
succes-ively to the Lower Canada Exhibition, Sept. 16 ;
Upper amacla do., Sept. 23 ; State of New York, do.,
Sept. 30 ; ail on the river St. Lawrence, and easy of ac.
cess. The Canada Exhibition will be a good one, and
out of it they hope to obtain a horticultural garden aLd
a floral ball or small crystal palace.

Mr. John Clare, jun., of this town, in the correspondence
which took he,we,o hti ords of the Admiralty
and himself in 185tand 1855, when he was requested to
send in his p!an4 to el- A I ,iralt.v. We ar- informed
that steps aro being taken with a view to institute legal
proceedings against the Government, and others for the
infringement of the patent, and also for compensai:on for
naval design. As it is looked upon as a national ques-
tion, some of Mr. Clare's friends are said tb be setting sr
subscription on foot to bring the matter t 3 justice, not
exactly to serve him, but fur the benefit of the mechanical
talent of England, which has been so much wronged by
the alleged jobbing and botching of the " circumlocution
office."—Liverpool Courier.
