FUNERAL HoNoRs IN NEW ORLEANS To Ex-
PRESIDENT ADAMs,-A correspondent sends the
following note on the subject of funeral honos' IN
New Orleans, to the late John Quincy Adams.
There is one point which all will certainly agree
to which is, that the man who has once been
President of the United States deserves every TO-
ken of respect from the citizens afterward; and
decent consciousness of that truth will ever remain
in the bosom of a true republican. We give the
note alluded to:
Messrs. Editors The North, East and West,
are moving in great demonstration to do honor
to the memory of the late illustrious Adams.
Where are our citizens of the South and of this
great city! Had the old man eloquent" no adj
mlrers here, or is there one to step forward in
this matter! Let a public meeting be called and
suitable measures taken to bring out the commu-
nifty to hear a discourse on the life and character
of the great departed. Where is the New England
Society! MASSACHUSETTS,.

In Judging of these, It is forgotten that all the
balloons which have been constructed are to
possible balloons, like cock-boat TO seventy
four. Who could fairly judge of the possibil-
tiles Of navigating the ocean with steamships,
by the adventures of Father Eneas and his
companions, creeping along the Ionian coasts?
Ii is believed that the cost Of the most expensive
balloon, and much Of that for paltry ornamental
trappings, has never exceeded S25 or $50, 900.
Why might not one, by great Balloon Compa.
ny, be built for $500, 000l
The main difficulties TO be overcome, are, the
formation of gasses-and the shaping course
and making Roadway, whilst immersed in the
surrounding medium. But when gases can be
made cheap enough, as they soon will be, a con-
slant supply can be kept up, TO compensate for
formation. Or some light tissue may hereafter
be discovered, an exception TO this wonderful
law. Or descents can be contrived, at certain
stages, lother than over oceans) where the mixed
gas can be discharged, and the pure supplied.
As 10 shaping a course--could not the difficult
~ Of rotary motion be overcome, BY adopting
nearly the shape of bird or a fish, instead OF
nearly globular forml May not currents, and
counter-cunents be discovered at different eleva-
tons, advantage Of which could DO taken in

When a nation can vote ia day, and the result

It seems TO me IL is reproach to humanity that

This volume belongs to the series Of "Pri-
mary School Histories" published by the en-
ierprising firm Of Morton 4 Griswold A more
interesting book Of history We believe was never
comprised in an equal number Of pages. When
we looked at the little volume, and thought Of
the immense extent Of time and space which the
author had to pa's over. we considered itinpos-
sible for him TO make work interesting to chill
dren. But he has made so judicous selection
from the materials before him, that children
will be highly delighted In reading this work !.
and at the same time gain considerable knowl.
edge Of the history Of Europe.
This work contains large number Of wood
engravings much superior to those usually found
in school books. The cuts frequently give
good idea of the condition Of the country, pre-
senting to the eye some striking traits Of char

CEIoRoFoRM AND CHoLERA-A London CORES.
pondept OF the N. Y. Commercial says that among
the multifarious remedies employed, ehlorofom
has just been tested BY one London practitioner,
who reports having used il in II cases, in ~ Of
which it was attended by perfect success, while
as regards the remaining two, which proved fatal,
the chlerofonn wss not resorted to until the pa
tients were both sinking.
The sufferer is kept under the influence BY in
halaiion as long as the bad symptoms recur. In
some instances he will sleep for twenty minutes
or half an hour, in Others for several hours, and on
awaking will again be seized One of the cases
required the use OF the chlorofom at intervals ior
"a hours. Although, however, these trials Of
ehloroionn seem satisfactory and hopeful, il will
not do to be very sapguine regarding them. Innu.
merable other remedies on their first trial In this
disorder have been reported upon as equally sue

been found as inefficient as those which thew
