THE FRENCH LEGISLATURE.—An innovation in
accordance with a long expressed wish has just been intro-
duced at the Legislative Body. Proposed amendments
will henceforth be printed, and in that shape distributed
to the deputies. The single manuscript copy formerly sent
in was far from satisfying the requirements of the case,
The deputies have already received the amendments
printed concerning the bills on the press, the army, and
frauds in the sale of manures.

WHAT HAVE THEY BOUGHT ?—We are glad to
perceive that the Government is about to act upon our sug-
gestion to send a scientific exploring party to our newly-
acquired possessions in Russian America. It is necessary
that Congress, which is to' make the appropriation at its
next session, should be well informed as to the resources
and value of that territory, and there is no mode of °1...-
tamping the information except by a careful exploration by
scientific men. Professor Agassiz would be an admirable
seliction, and Da Chaillu, and Dr. Hayes, the Arctic ex-
plorer, should be added to the party,..-New. York .fierald.,
