Mr.. s. N. BorsFoRp, Of the Military Academy
at Raleigh, favored our citizens with Lectures ON
Monday and Tuesday evenings on the deeply IN
tercstins subjects of Electricity, ElectroMagnet-
ism, Chemistry, &c. The audience was small,
but this was owing to other reasons, we presume,
than want of taste for the sciences. As one Of
those who did attend, we were much delighted,
having had some difficulties removed by the test
ofcxpenmcnt which before were perplexlng. Mr.
Boisf,rd lectures with clearncss and disiinctness
and is free from all alicctation of style. His ap
para,us Is extensive, and his experiments very 81
tisfactory. We arc sorry that circumstances made
il necessary for him TO leave 50 soon, for We arg
sure that his audience would have increased eael
evening, and We believe that much advantage
would lave resulted 10 the community, (particu
larry the younger portiOn,) in extending tas''
, for science and philosophy. t fH '+-

PROPoSfTIONS.-The Washington Union gives To
the public the subjoined Information concerning the pro-
positions heretofore made by the Government Of the u
Satcs 10 that Ut Great Britain for the adjustment Of

The proposition fnt made BY the United States wss
that the 4sh parallel OF latitude, which had been adopted

Great Britain from tho vicinity Of the Lake OF the Woods

tude of 81 degrees 40 minutes. The American rovetu

Britain should make settlements south o the SIS psra

small detached territory the angle formed between the
Pacific shore and the southern sde Of tho Strait of Fuca
