It considers that he would there be enabled to second
Mr. Sumner, and with two such men from Massachusetts,
the one in the Senate, the other in the House, great good
might bs achieved. It says with great truth and force :
" There is no likelihood of his going to the Senate at pre-
sent, and, oven if he could, the House is the place for him.
It was in the House that his father won his greatest fame,
and performed his best service. It is the Rouse that most
needs men like Mr Adams, and never more than now."
There is some talk among the Democrats of Chi-
cago of naming Robert Lincoln for Congress, but the ques-
tion is whether he will stand.
The Hon. G. Bancroft, who has now made treaties
between all the German States and the United States,
visited Frankfoit-on the-Maine, where he was shown all
the sights by the United States Consul there. Mr. Ban-
croft had not visited Frankfort since the time he gra-
duated at the University of Gottingen, forty-eight years
ago.

Healey, a clever and well-known American por-
trait painter, who hss for several years been practising Lis

art in Chicago with great credit and success, is at the
Bagne do Lucca, where he has joined his family, who

preceded him, to Europe. He goes to Rome for the win-
ter. Healey, in 1836-7 paint,3d Louis Philippa, Goizot,

Marshal Soult, and other ccdebrities, in Paris. Tilton and
Freeman are also at the Bagne do Lucca for the hot season,
and return to Rome in October.

The Rev. W. Rogers, rector of Bishopsgate, we
understand, has left England for two or throe months, to
make a tour through the United States, leaving his two

curates in charge of the parish. Having succeeded in esta-
blishing the great middlo school in Bath-street, City-road,
where there are above 800 boys, paying only £1 a year,

he wishes to examine the various educational establish-
ments in America, to see what improvements may be in-
troduced here. Mr. Rogers is chairman of the Dulwich

College School.

When Brigham Young pronounced the praise of
Mormons over the grave of Heber Kimball, he gave him
a character for honesty and rectitude. A correspondent
of tho Troy Times tells a story that puts a new face on
Heber Kimball's character. Kimball began life in Fonda,
New York, kept a country store, got into debt, and per-
suaded his father to mortgage his farm to save the son

[fluidal disgrace, promising to pay the iaterest. Heber

joined the Mormons, left the interest unpaid, the wort

gage was foreclosed, and Heber's parents died in want.
The llon. John A. Griswold reached Troy from
Washington July 24, and was received at his home with
great enthusiasm. There aro some who think his chances
as the Republican candidate for Governor of Now York to
be by no means bad.
Benjamin Gerrish, jun., of Dover, New Hamp-
shire, who has just been confirmed as Consul to Nantes,
is at present Secretary of the Republican State Committee,
and confidential clerk of Onslow Stearns, the next Gover-

nor, and has held many offices in tho State Government..
Reinhart, the American artist, now on a profes•
sional visit to Lexington, Kentucky, is to take the portrai
of General John Morgan and others during his stay. Be
fore the war he came to Lexington, and painted a portrai

of Gen. John C. Breckinridgo for tho Boston Club of Now
Orleans, which has boon much admired for its accuracy and
finish.

The diocese of Rhoda Island is entering on a
second Tyng case, the offender being: the Rev. Mr. Hub-
bard. The case has already attracted considerable atten-
tion, and is likely to widon the broach already existing in
the Church. The Protestant Churchman, organ of the Low-
Church party, assures Mr. Hubbard that " the sympathies
of all Protestants are with him."

Albert Blaisdell, of Greenland, New Hampshire,
an extensive contractor and builder, is said to be the com-
ing man for the Hoosac tunnel completion contract.

Henry Turner Eddy, of North Bridgewater, a re-
cent graduate of Yale College, has been appointed profes-
sor of natural history and chemistry in the University of
East Tennessee, Knoxville.
Of the 122 candidates who applied at the recent
examination for admission to Harvard College, 37 were ad-
mitted clear of cond:tions, 66 were lightly conditioned, and
the others heavily. .

A Boston lady, passing the summer at Somerset,
drove her own mowing machine to cut 10 acres of grass,
because she couldn't hire a man to do it. The work was
well and skilfully done.

Mr. Robert Coningsby makes his tour in the
United States, with an introduction from Mr. Seward ask-.
ing the good offices of all who can aid him, and we may
shortly expect his report on the condition of the American
working man, embracing all details of their proficiency in
mechanical art, of their mode of living, and its cost, labour,
morals, education, &c., which, we presume, will be pub-
lished by the British Society for the Encouragement of
Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, whose agent Mr.
Coningsby is.
The work of carefully surveying Narragansett
bay, which was begun 20 years age, abandoned and again
begun in 1860, has been resumed, and will be completed
in the most careful and thorough manner.
Abraham Bells, Son, and Co., an old New York
banking firm, have, we regret to learn, failed.
A movement is being made in Massachusetts to
seat Charles Francis Adams in the Federal Senate, but
Massachusetts will have no place vacant till Mr. Sumner's
term expires in 1869, and such a movement is therefore
altogether premature. However much Americans may
desire to see the late Minister to England in the United
States Senate it would scarcely be at the expense of
Charles Sumner, a man who would dignify any assembly,
and whose place, once vacant, it would be almost impos-
&lle to fill.
The Becket lumbermen's and tanners' colony
planted by Wheeler and Claflin in the wilderness at
Caroga, New York, prospers. Throo lumber mills are
running, and the largo tannery has been put into success-
ful operation. T 9 the 14,000 acres contained in the first
purchases of land, 1,000 more have been recently added.
The old army road, cut through the region in 1812, has
long since fallen into disuse, and is grown up with trees.
It was some time ago rebuilt four miles, and is now being
made through to the Sacanadaga River, the whole dis-
tance nine miles, being across the territory owned by
Wheeler and Olaflin. The erection of another large tan-
nery will be begun early in the fall. The settlers wore
obliged to send a distance of eight miles for letters, but
have recently established a post-office at their principal
settlement, named Pine Lake.
Worthington, Western Massachusetts, counts on
a grand centennial, August 20. At the meeting on Monday
evening, July 20, hold to elect officers, the following
choice was made : —President, Elisha, H. Brewoster ; secre-
taries, Daniel Ward and C. M. Parsons; treasurer, E.
S Burr; Marshal, Captain William Streakweather.
Among the natives of the town who are to bo pre-
sent from abroad aro William Rice, of Albany; Judge
Samuel A. Kingman, of Atchison, Kansas; acd Hon. A.
D. Kingman of Hickman, Kentucky. William Cullen
Bryant, whose birth honours the neighbouring town of
Cummington, has promised to be present. A mammoth
booth, 150 feet in length, will be built on the common
south of the church, and therein tables will be spread with
a royal repast prepared by the ladies of the town. The
best musical talent of the town has been engaged, and a
band will be furnished for the occasion. The town has a
good war record, and appropriate will be the presence of
a field piece to fire a salute of 100 guns ; and equally be-
fitting the presence, as escort, of Captain Anson F. Stevens's
company of the first battalion of infantry.
The trotting horse Ben Franklin has been sold
for $8,500 to H. A. Hall, of Boston.
The hydrographic survey of Maine, at the State
expense, is nearly completed, and a new and accurate
map is being prepared from its data. The average level
of the State above tidewater is 1,000 feet above that of
Moosehead Lake, which is 1,071 feet above.
Each of the Norwich papers, in order to serve
its New London (Connecticut) subscribers promptly, runs
at considerable expense a " horse express," which carries
its papers to that place in advance of the cars, thus sav-
ing two hours' time, and giving New London the news
at the breakfast table. The distance is 14 miles, and the
drivers of the rival teams have a nice race almost every
morning.
The Whipple file manufacturing company at
Ballardvale are about to commence the manufacture of
I cast steel anvils.

LETTER FROM GEO. IRANCIS MALY.

(From the Anglo American 1 inies.)
Dublin, Four Courts, Marsholsea,
August 10.

Dear Anglo-American Times,—You are right. lam
wrong. When preaching in a Christian pulpit —a pulpit
of peace—l have no right to advert to war; but lam na-
turally antagonistic. Born half-way between Concord,
Lexington, and Bunker Hill, I drank in independence from
the old oaken bucket that hung in Liberty's well.

What crime did I commit in introducing a cheap car-
riage for the English people ? What wrong was it for me
to entertain at my own expense all your leading editors,
authors, and statesmen at my banquets? Was it an un-
pardonable offence for mo to sacrifice my pocket for my
country ? Will England never forgive me for fighting
the battle of the Union ? If my street-railways were a
nuisance in 1861, are they not a nuisance now ? Take
notice that as patentee, introducer, and promoter of
tramways, I shall claim my £5OO per mile royalty.
England has treated me badly: in the tramways; in the
Shelley affair ; on the Union question—and my record
since I was taken from on board the Scotia for " wcrds
spoken in America," and belonging to the race, breed, and
believing in tha blood of my ancestors, I am proving myself
game—hut in future will not shock the sense of your
peace-loving readers by declarations of war.
Two millions of Gorman Americans sold out by the
great American historian. Is not a blunder more than a
crime ? This tampering with the naturalization law of
1802 is destroying our nationality.
"Art. 1. Subjects of the kingdom of Bavaria who have
become naturalized citizens of the United States of North
America, and have uninterruptedly lived during five years
in the United States, are to be considered as American
citizens and accordingly treated by Bavaria."
