The Foreign News.


We publish to-day an abstract of the foreign
news received at Boston yesterday by the steam
er Cambria, and transmitted to this office by tel
egraph. TWAS, without exception, the best ar
ragged and the best transmitted telegraphic des-
patch we ever received from Boston. The man.
ner in which the operators performed their work
entities them, and particularly Mr. Foss, to the
thanks of the community.
As the time the Cambria arriv at Boston
was probably too late to send her mails to this
city in the ordinary way, the probability is, that
we shall get our regular foreign flesin the course
ofthis morning by special messenger. If we do,
we shall publish the details of the news in the
evening edition of the Neto York Herald, which
shall have ready earlier than usual, that is to
say, at twelve o'clock.
If we should find, which we do not at present
apprehend, that there any errors in the tele-
graphic quotations Of the grain and other mar
kets, We shall place the corrections on our
Bulletin the moment after we receive our hles.
It is worthy of remark, that not single inter

Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1847-10-08

We have had the pleasure to receive our copy
of the Transactions of this admirable Asso-
citation for the year 1876, together with the
splendid engraving, distributed to all the mem
bers of that year, of "Sir WALTER RALEIGH
parting from his Wife on The morning af his
erccWiOn."
1t is gratifying to learn, as we DO from the
Transactions" that the affairs Of the ART
UNoS are in an exceedingly prosperous and
furnishing condition The number of members
for 1916 was 4,i57, who contributed, for the
excellent cause of promoting the interests of
the FINE ARTS in our country, and of enconr-
aging the labors in that behalf of meritorious
and gifted Artists, the handsome sum Of S22,-
$50. With this amount one hundred and forty
t,ro works of Art, some of them of rare, and all
OF them of decided, merit, were purchased and
distributed, by the accomplished, able and indie
atigable Board of Managers.
We have so frequently heretofore, spoken of
the Art Union, of its design and purposes, in
terms of hearty commentator, that wctdeem it
sufficient now to say to those who intend to be-
come Members for the present year, that i, is
exceedingly desirable that their subscriptions
should be made at once. Every subscriber OBJ
tanned during the present month will contribute
his share to swell the number Of works Of Ar,

will be sent TO each Member Tor 1917" The
Jolly Flat-boatmcn" from an original painting
by BINGHAM, and "Thc Sibyl" from painting
by llusrISGToS-both works Of superior merit
They will be engraved in the highest style of
the art, and will be worth more than the price Of
membership. The progressive and decided i'm.
provement in this department OF Art, as seen in
almost every picture from the Artists Dream
to the noble engraving of" Sir Walter Raleigh"
furnishes at once motive and reward for sus-
tanning this excellent institution. JONI II.

We believe il is admitted by common consent
that no public enterprise has yet been proposed
that promises to bring about commercial results
so important, with so small comparative out
lay Of expense, AS that OF connecting Lake
Champaign with the River st. Lawrence, and
thence with the great Western Lakes, by means
Of Ship Canal from st, Johns to Caughna-
waga. Less than 100000, it is sufficiently
ascertained, will perfect this splendid avenue OF
Trade and Commerce and, as we minated to
our readers, last week, actire steps are now in
progress to place the work in a condition for
speedy completion. 1t is confidently anticipated
by gentlemen having the enterprise especially in
charge, that within eighteen months from this

Its usefulness to New York, however, depends
almost wholly on the enlargement of the North,

TO admit the passage through it Of vessels o
