BOUNDARY QUESTION.

"
THE HIGHLANDs.-The Gardiner Ode J
Spectator contains the following extract from
letter to gentleman in Gardiner, from Pro-
fessor Renwick, one of the engineers engaged
in the boundary survey: ...
81 am happy to be able to communicate to
you that the result of my operations will prob
ably leave no other basis for the British claim,
than the bubble, whether the Bay of Fundy
be the Atlantic Ocean. l have discovered and
explored range of mountains extending from
the Bay Of Chaleure, round the heads of the
branches of st. Johns to the Temiscouata por
tage, so that even on the British ground that
the Highlands are necessarily mountains, they
can be met to advantage. The height of these
mountains can only guess at, until make uP
the calculations.
FREsHET IN THE PEEoBsCoT.-A letter
from gentleman in Bangor, dated on Satur-
day last, states that there was severe rain
storm on Thursday night, which caused great
freshet in the Penobscot river, and while he
was writing, six saw mills were floating down
the river, below the bridge which crosses the
Penobscot. The mills belonged to the Mill
Dam Corporation, and were situate about four
miles above Bangor.

Death is tyrant, whom none can escape
His cold chill hand is laid alike on high and
low, rich and poor, young and cid, without re-
gard to persons. Mutitudes of the short-lived
family Of man are hourly hurried from the stage
of life The scene closes over them, and leaves
no vestige of their being but the tombstone and
the turf. 1t is so common an occurrence, that,
| however unexpected, it hardly elioits an exola-
matien OF surprise. And though we see every
age and sex fall around us into the grave, how
| seldom do we ask ourselves when it will be so
with us2 But when we see those whom we
have respected for their talents, and admired for
their wisdom, sharing the common let OF human
| nature, our notes of sorrow are not unmixed
with surprise at the might of the Destroyer,
whose approaches, the cunning OF the foolish,
and the wisdom of the wise are alike unable to
prevent. The death of ordinary men leaves a
gloom only upon their own hearths; but such
loss as this casts its pale shadow on the hearts
OF ALL Wife, children, friends, science, poste-
rity and man, must meet to shed the tears of
sorrow on the grave of him,
"Whose mourners are two hosts, his friends and foes
| A bright flower in the fields of science has
fallen prey to the reaper's sickle, when it had
Just begun to bloom. This great man was COIL
strained to leave behind him his views on the
subject of Mathematics in an unfinished state:
and the thought that the fruit of years of toll and
study would thereby be lost to science and the
world, was one of the bitterest pangs he felt IN
death. His name and talents are well known
to all; but there was one trait in his character
which was only known to those whose good for.
it is to recognize in him the instructor OF theii
youth and to one such tits gratifying to De able t.
offer this slight tribute of esteem to his memory
1t seemed to be his greatest pleasure to affort
instruction, and hi, anxiety for the advance
ment of his pupils will ever be to them sub

contemplation of God; and he has lett I'M

The following paragraph has been going the
rounds Of the newspapers:
Texas TRADE.-We learn from the copy of a
letter which has just been furnished us, that by
the laws Of Texas, the cargo of vessel cannot
be attached for freight until the expiration of 80
days after arrival, and that no bill Of lading is
binding, unless it bears the signature of both
master and shipper. Beth of these regulations
must be attended with great inconvenience, when
overlooked or not known by captains of vessels
arriving in any Of the ports Of that country
As they compelled to lie in port undischarg-
ed for three months, and expose their vessels to
destruction by worms, or TO deliver their lading
at the risk of receiving no remuneration for
their labor; SHOULD they refuse to do either,
and return whence they came, holding the cargo
subject to their claim for freight; it frequently
occurs that the value of the articles when they
are shipped is not equal to more than half the
expense of transportation.
In Justice to Texas, and for the information
of commercial men dealing there, this should be
contradlcted. In the first place, IerGS never
has passed 7a,o regulating the subject; on the
contrary, the courts are governed in matters of
this nature by the common law of England. In
the second place, there is q lien on the cargo
until the whole amount of the freight is paid.
Thirdly, no vessel has, or under existing laws,
ever need be detained one day after her arrival
in port, before discharging her cargo. Fourthly,
master or mate of vessel in which the goods
are shipped, and the signature Of the shipper is

The faculty would invite the attention of students Oh
medicine and the profession generally TO the peculiar

The plan is novel and it is believed improved. In the
same edce are contained college for the delivery OF
lectures rooms for large number of resident Students
and hospital for the sick. The hospital, which Is the
place chosen for the medical tire ame The seamen of
the United States entitled TO hospital relief gov
eminent, and containing upwards of 100 patients, pub
lie and private affords one of the best fields Tor the study
disease this country. And The resident students
have charge of the patients, under the direction OF the
Professors, they cannot fail TO acquire knowledge OF
practice which will greatly facilitate their success in
after life.
The arrangements for he prosecution of the lmpor-
tant department of anatomy are unsurpassed IN this
country In addition to the abundance OF subjects for
which Baltimore has always been remarkable, owing
the liberal and enlightened views of her citizens the
arrangements of the dssectng rooms of this University
are such afford peculiar facilities.
In the different departments, the professors are well
supplied with the essential means of demonstrating
whatever is required.

ciples of chemistry
The department OF surgery will be illustrated by
large number of instruments models aRG apparatus,
prsing those of Auzoux and the pathological models
of ThibeI justly celebrated imported from Europe
expressly for this department of the University.
The faculty sincely believe that young men who really
desire to acquire practical knowledge OF their profess
sion, fail TO be struck with the great advantages
an institution organized so improved plan must
Afford and they invite all such TO visit their institutions
and form impartial judgment OF what is the bese
suited to advance their own interests
