THE MEDICAL COLLEGE BUILDING.

A correspondent of the Charleston Courier,
writing from White Sulphur, speaks of his
sojourn in Richmond, on his route to the
Springs. Abiding to former description of
the city by one OF the Editors of the Courier
he says:
But, at the time you visited Richmond,
that novelty in American architecture, the

days of rapid and cheap travelling it is almost
worth trip from Charleston to Richmond to
get glimpse of it. There is no such build

guenot Church at Charleston, upon which you
have latterly expressed so much praise"

IMMENSE LOCOMOTIVE ESTABLISH
MENr -rhe London Mining Journal gives a
brief description of the gigantic Locomotive
Establishment at st. Petersburgh. Russia, or

adjustment was called into operation to sup
ply the large number of Locomotives required
for the great chain of railroads which the
Emperor of Russia has directed 10 be construc
ted. (Nlaior Whistler. Bostonian being Chief
Engincer.) and il is so huge in dimensions
that 3, 800 operatives are employed in IT. To
keep order in this mixed mass of Americans,
English, Scotch. Irish, Germans and Russians,
company OF soldiers is kept on duty in con
junction with police force. whose duties are
confined to the works. Ii the operatives are
refractory they are discharged, unless there
happen TO be Russians among them, and when
any of these offend against the discipline of
the place, they are immediately tied up TO the
triangles, soundly ilogged and sent to work
again, and this correction is continued not
understanding Messrs, Harrison & Eastwick
have strongly appealed against it. When a
man presents himself for employment at this
establishment, his name is not asked but he is
presented with medal having on il a number.
In the pay house are $500 wooden boxes, and
when laborer presents himself on Saturday
night Tor his money, it is given to him and
the medal taken from him as a receipt. This
medal is dropped into the box corresponding

FROM THE CITY OF RICHMOND.

From friend to the editor Of the "Unon."
"The death of General Jackson though long an
|tlcpated, must create small sensation not only
with his republican friends throughout the Union,
but with the cool and rejecting men Of all parties
|He was certainly one of the most extraordinary
men of the age, and would have been master spirit
had he lived at any period of the world. He
WAS inferior to that lived in moral and

tier, and in the most devoted and selfsacr6cng pa

|red qualities which constitute the consumnate war;
|ror and the enlightened statesman. We contemplate
Ia public meeting this evening (l9th June) for the
purpose Of making arrangements to pay Just trb-
lutte to his memory. hope it will be full meeting
hope, on such an occasion, political feeling will bo
aid aside. Americans ought to be prompt to pay
|due honor to the memory of the illustrous who
in blaze of glory; who, during his whole military
career, had freely eoparded life, fortune, and repu-
|tation, for his countrys honor and who never failed
Ito bear our eagles in triumph, whenever he could
find an enemy to oppose him. His reputation be-
longs to his country, and the time will come when
there will be but one opinion respecting this extra

Americans will be grateful for his services and
proud of his fame.

rHE MISSION To ENGLAND.

The Baltimore Patriot, in imagining because we
Iosidered it a matter of congratuaton that Mr..
cIane should perfectly accord with the admins
stion ON the important Texas and Oregon ques-
bns that the Oregon negotiation was about to be
knsferred to London, has certainly attributed a
gaming to our paragraph very foreign from its
henton. On a moments reflection, the editor
uuld have seen how necessary it was that this
|vernment at this particular juncture, should bel
presented at the court of St. James, not only by a
|ntleman of Mr.. McLane's talents, but who also Isl
lbued with his sentiments on these two great ques-
ms; which, happily, are identical with those Of
resident Polk and his cabinet; for, although the ne
nations may be conducted in Washington, it is
no means unlikely that issues incidentally affect
by both the questions may arise in his official in
tcourse with her .Majesty's Minister of Foreign
Hairs.
Is regards the Texas question, we know of no ne
|tiation between the two governments now ex-
ling, or likely to be opened yet even this question
by incidentally affect the regular diplomatic cor
kpondence between the two powers; and therefore
is of great importance that Mr.. McLane should
rmonize with the administration upon ii also.
The following paragraph from the charleston
ercury' bears witness that President Polk has
bde fortunate selection in naming MIR. McLane
! the mission:
We see no necessity ola special minister to England
have not changed opinion to the expedency of
king such demonstration. But the appointment of Mr..
would be very judcious, and, we think accepa-
one He is a Of distinguished abilities, and with
CD experience in public affairs We trust therefore, the
nor may prove true"

placid, though much shrunk from the former pro-
