M. ALEXANDER VATTEMARE, who or

M. ALEXANDER VATTEMARE, who ORR
ginated the system of international ex-
changes Of books, works OF art, and
specimens Of natural history, and who
landed first at New York in September,
1889, in prosecution Of this enterprise,
has recently again returned to this coun-
try in furtherance of the same object
He brings with him, we understand, no
less then $4,000 volumes Of books,-a
large collection Of maps and charts, and
many valuable specimens in natural his
tory-all intended for distribution among
the several States Of the Union, which he
proposes to visit personally. This State
has already received several valuable
works presented by M. Vattemare OH a
former visit as the fruits of his labor in
this praise-worthy undertaking and in
January 1916 adopted highly compli-
mentary report on the subject, which was
one of the last public acts worthy of the
late lamented w. G. GODDARD. The
report will be found in the schedule of the
January session 1876, and is embued with
the characteristic zeal of its author in
favor Of all benevolent and literary enter
prises.
The following extract from letter Of
the Paris correspondent Of the Charles
ton Courier, refers to some Of the costly
and new works presented by the French
Government, which accompany M. Vat
temare. .fE
M. VArTEMARE, SO favorably known in the
United States for his efforts, during late years
to establish kind relations between our country
and France by means of literary exchanges,
has just left Paris on his return TO the Union.
He proposes, l learn, TO be absent two or three
years. during which he will visit personally
all the States Of the confederacy. nj. Waite
mARE'takes with him a large amount of books,
maps and engravings, weighing, il is said, "a
600 lbs, which the railroad companies Of Rouen
and Ilavre courtcously transported from this
city to the port Of embarkment free Of charge.
This rich collection is due TO the united muni-
fccnce Of the King, the Ministers and various
Learned bodies. The King contributed two
copies Of the great work on Egypt the Minis
ter Of the Interior FIVE copies Of the Voyage en-
Porse, M. SALvASDv. Minister Of Public In
struction, gave 1000 volumes, the Minister Of
the Marine, a superb collection Of maps, and
the Minister Of Public Works, copy Of the
Geological Map Of France. A book-binder
has contributed his mite, a splendidly bound
copy Of the Book cfhe Virgin, by way Of ac-
acknowledgement Of his sense Of the benefits
which this expression Of international courte.
sizes has conferred and is likely TO confer up
on the trade in France.

THE TRIAL OF BARKER BURNEL, at Nan.
tucket, was brought to close on Tuesday OF
last week. On Monday, Mr.. Choate occu.
pied four hours in his closing speech for the
defence. Mr.. Clifford, for the government
spoke two hours and three quarters. The
Judge was about an hour delivering his
charge, which was, says the Inquirer, able
and impartial. We take the conclusion from
that paper:- ...
The jury retltsl at twenty minutes before
seven. AS they fad not been able to agree
upon verdict at ten o'clock, the Court ad
Journed to Tuesday morning; OF half-pas,
seven. When the court met, the Jury, who
had been ont all night, came in with a yerdc
OF NOT GUILTY. Mr.. Burnell was, however
taken back to prison, as there are seven 9th
er indictments against him on the files of IN,
Court. The Court has reduced his bond
from S25.0OO TO $4,000, and efforts are nov
being made to procure sufficient sure,es TO
his appearance st the October term.

Il The Legislature Of this State, COM
menced its adjourned session in this town,
on Tuesday morning last. A quorum
of both Houses was present at 10 o'clock,
and the session was opened with prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Brewer, Rector of Trinity
ChuAh. No business of consequence
was transacted during the morning, with
the exception Of reading the Docket Of
unfinished business, and passing a vote
to take up the Docket on Thursday.
In the afternoon sundry petitions were
presented, and bills reported. They were
read and referred to the appropriate CON-
mittees, and will be noticed more par
ticularly when they come up for final ac-
ton. Among them was bill from the
committee on Corporations in relation to
the liabilities of corporations. This bill
provides that the private property Of
stockholders shall not be liable for the
debts of a corporation beyond the a.
mount of the stock taken. The report
was received, read a second time and
ordered to be printed. Memorial from
the board of Aldermen, Of Providence,
accompanied by bill for revision of
the "Poor Law" was received, read twice
and referred to committee on Judiciary.
This bill is to prevent the introduction
of such persons by land or water, into
any town or city Of the State, as may be
likely to become a charge under FIVE
years after their arrival in the State
The bill providing for taking an estimate
of the rateable property in the State was
referred to Committee on Corporations.
The petition of Central Baptist Church,
Newport, was referred to the Com. on
Education.
Yesterday but little business was done
other than the reception Of accounts and
petitions, which were disposed of in the
usual way. In the afternoon a large
number Of convicts were liberated, among
them was one Whitney, who was arrested
here last winter for passing counterfeit
money. We heard a member Of the
House remark after the adjournment
yesterday, that it would have been as
well to open the prison doors, and libe-
rate them indiscriminately

From the Boston Advertiser OF Wednesday
BY Telegraph at New York.

The steamer Telegraph, from Tampicc
9Th inst, and the Brazos OH, arrived at N
Orleans the 18th instant.
The Ma,amoras Flag Of the 9TH says thai
Col. Donlphan and portion OF his command
passed down the river on the 5th, with Clork's
battery and ten pieces Of cannon captured al
Sacramento.
A fight occurred between sixty of the ad.
yanced guard of Doniphan's force and one
hundred Camanches, twenty miles from PAr.
ras. One Missourian was wounded. Seven
teen Indians were killed and several wound
ed. Six Mexican boys and two women were
retaken and liberated. Further accounts
state that the Camanche were friendly.
Dispatches from the Governor OF San
Luis to Gen. Taylor are announced. The
Governor inquiries whether OH the intended
approach OF the American army, the Com
banding General intends conducting his
march according TO the usages Of civilized
nations, or in the manner adopted ey The
Camanche Indians. Gen. Taylor's answer
is not given.
No doubt was entertained that General
Taylor would soon march on San LUIS, ano
thence to the Capital.
A Communication from Gen. Scott directs
General Taylor to move as early as possible
But few of the old Volunteers will continue
on with him.
BY way Of Tampico we havo papers from
the city Of Mexico to the 29,h utimo. They
contain Santa Anna's letter Of resignation,
also q long manifesto or address to the ma
ton, issued few days earlier. Great con
fusion existed at the capital. Gen. Bravo
had resigned not only as General in Chlei
but as General of Division. His resignation
is confirmed, but the cause is not stated.
The death of General Scott was rumored
in the capital, and believed, but the error was
discovered prior to our latest dates. Gen.
Ampudia was suspected. and ordered to a.
wait further orders at Cuern Avaca.
Generals ValInca and Salas were ordered
to leave the city on the 24th, and proceed to
San Luis TO take command Of the armies OF
the north.
The disaffection of the State of Zacate-
cas- is confirmed, and Gen. Arsta has refused
to resume his military functions until his
conduct hns been investigated.
The result of the Presidential election 30
far stands thus :-Ip Oajaco, the old legisla.
ture voted for Herrera; and the new legs
lsture for Santa Anna, Giving this vote to
Santa Anna, would leave Herrera four votes |;
Angel Trias, three Ocampo, one Eloria.

That Consumption is almost always produced
by cold that might easily be cured. That
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry will cure any
Cough or Cold, no matter of how long stand
ing. That the milder form of Consumptionit-
self is also cured by this Balsam. That it is
conceded by many lawyers, clergymen and
physicians that this Balsam has never been
eqnalled for efficacy in all affections Of the
Lungs and Liver That scores now rejoice in
the possession of good health who, but for this

valuable medicine has been inflated under va
rious names. and that DIR. WISTAR'S BAL

on to CURE. 1t has been warranted to cure
Asthma in every stage--what no physician has
ever achieved-and has never been known to
fail. For delicate health in young females. it
stands unrivaled-as it does for all diseases Of
this climate.

Railways Chinese Medicatsd Soap.

| Why is Railways Chinese Medicated Soap
preferred to all other soaps. either for Toilet or
Medical purposes.
Because. il is truly medicated preparation
Its medical properties are selected from the
most rare and choice extracts IN the whole
materia medica. Its action on the skin and Sc
cretory vessels is entirely different from II other
soaps. II opens the pores Of the skin. cleanses
which prevents the free escape of the impurities
of the fluids. Thus keeping the cuticle in
qeathy condition. and preventing the skin from
becoming parcbed, dry or dis6gured with
Pimples, Blolches. Pustules, Ring Worm, Fry
sipeias. Salt Rhe um &c. ..
! For the Toilet IL is superior to all imported
soaps, being entirely free from all poisonous ad-
mixtures, such as caustic, d" muTatic acids, !"
bismulh which tends to irritate the skin-and
instead Of eradicating the diseases from the sys-
tenn, drives them (the diseases) in the skim
When aner short period they appear again
upon the surface in much worse condition
than before. What advantage II Is then TO use
the genuine Radrays Chinese Indicated Soap"
in preference to all others II is cheaper, better
and gives better satisfaction than any other ar
tcle of the kind in the market. Ii never fails
in removing all excrescences, Pimples, Blotcbes
Puslues, Ring Worm, &c. from the SUI face
1t soilens, puriiies heals and soothes the skin.
and adds beauty TO the complexion of all who
use II.

which the editors are favorable, considering
it more dociIe and less costly power than
either man or horse. Every hundred acres
poughing involves the passing over 1000

calculate the saving by steam on every
