bred, and worn pamphlet. which had been
Minted before this Government was FORM
g I,s author was James Rumsey, and
H. subject was steam navigation. Those

Yesterday from Mr.. Bliss, OF New YORK,
10 whom | was introduced by member

Bliss, who m my years since was engaged
Ia steamboat experiments in the West, OBJ
aimed the pamphlet from DIR. Edward
Ramsey, deceased the brother OF James.
One Of the first articles in the pamphlet
is he statement Of Gen. Horatio Gates as
10 the manner in which Mr.. Rumsey's
boat assembled the Potomac, agnins, the
current, in December, 1877. And tn
last article is a copy Of paris Of letter

PICTORIAL HIsToRY OF WASHINGTON.
1t may not be generally known, that
Washington Irving, our new Minister to
Spain, has been for some time past, occu.
pied in the preparation for the pr, IS, of a
new work of surprising interest, to be
entitled "Ihe Pictorial History Of Gen.
Washington. " This important work will
doubtless become the browning literary
effort Of Mr.. lrving,--it is one that en-
gagged his warme st sympathies, and which
will unquestionably bring into requisi,Ion
all his power and genius. The accom-.
panying illustrations which are to number
between five and six hundred, will be in
corporated with the KIT, and will be in
quistely engraved on wood, alter the
beautiful designs Of Chapman.-Bosfon

THE EXPLORING EXPEDITION.

The Washington correspondent 0i the
New York Commercial Advertiser gives
the following Information
For farther news, | have to tell you
that dispatches were received over land,
IA fortnight since, from the exploring ex-
petition. the contents have not been
suffered to :ranspre, but there are per-
sons now in Washington who have con-
yersed with The officers Of the expedition
since they left the Columbia River. 1t
has dropped from them that the research
es and surveys made on the North West
coast are OF such value as will more than
compensate the nation for the whole cost
of the expedition. II is guessed that this
refers to the light which will be thrown
upon orr title to the whole North West
coast, from the Northern limits Of Next
CT to the Southern bounds OF the Russian
claim. Great immediate value will there
fore be added to the more barren glory of
talking from the Terra AuSirahs its cpl
thpt of incOe nita.
BY the way, it has been said that great
injustice has been done to our officers in
the recent accounts of Ross discoveries.
nv the concralment Of the fact that he
was guided to the point where those dis.
coveries commenced, by thu charts of
Commodore Wilkes. Ross therefore bears
to him about the relation that Vespucci
bore TO Columbus"
The same writer suggests that Captain
Wilkes ought to be promoted, and re-
