PROF. BRONSON,

On Prot. BIS last meeting. Hon. Daniel Baldwin
was called to The chair, and the following reso-
luton presented by John Dean Jr, Esq was II.
unanimously adopted The preamble points to
those who have opposed Prof 3. without hear
ing him. We think such men Justly deserve
the reflection cast upon them. Among the how
Ell, and sometimes we have thought ancifu
views Of the lecturer, there are many valuable
truths aud when he returns, as he expects some
time hence 10 d. we hope TO see him enjoy
fair field and far play.
Whereas, we have had the pleasure for few
evenings past, of listening 10 a series of lee
lures from Professor G. p. Bronson on The sub
lect OF el0cuiOn involving the principles of
rea ling. recitlng and speaking, with grace, ell
egance and ease ; as also upon the deveopc-
nIent of The body and The mind, in accordance
with the great but simple laws of MIXTURE and
of ransom, us we understand il and although
we would indulge il no spirit of adulatinn ior
any man, knowing the imperieciiuns of human
nature, yet feeling that a capllnus selfish, mo.
nopozing opposition 10 what may seem 10
them new or move, should not prevail to pre- cent
or restrain scientific men from coming among
MS occasionally, To treat us TO intellectual
fensis, which shalllend mi only to our present
enjoyment, but serve 10 advance our temporal
good, mentally and physically, therefore,
Resoived, rs the sense of tins meeting, that
Prof Bronson j. entitled TO our gratitude aud re-
spect; and we hereby cordially tender to him
our III INKS; feeling that this token of our regard
is due, not only Ia hun and the great principles
he advocates, but also To ourselves, as a people
deslrous 10 encourage aud prOInoie The cause OF
literary and scientific Improvement.

Can any body inform as who lSn'hanlel Niles
of Vermont" is p Burlington Free Press.
We can try: he is son of Nathaniel Niles
OF Fairee. who was Judge of the Supreme
Court of Vermont from 1881 to 1887, both inclu-
sve; and is physician by PIC iession. He was
formerly Secretary Of Legation to France, and
for many years resident Of Pa iris, and employ
ed IN diplomatic services there nd elsewhere
We have been remembered by him occasionally,
and on suggesting his name TO NJ. Vauemare,
learned that the Doctor was one of his personal
friends and he added, if we recoIlect correctly,
that the DR.. married the mother law of Eu gene
Sue, aud two little daughters of his were The re.
al heroines in The Wandering Jew. DR.. Niles
has not lost his nationality by long service broad

NET REVENUE.

Now, for The purpose of comparison we will
exclude 1876, which was affected by both Tar.
ifs, and contrast the Average of 1874 and AS

Under the Free Trade Tariff, s3747 ,SG4

Mr. Walker VAS decidedly trrong, then, i'll
praising his Tariff measure, it having
failed TO equal The Wing Tariff by more than
three million dollars per annum. Nor is this the
worst. The Secretary land Prcsldcni) have not
only been in error, but grossly dishonest The
act of '46 provides that goods imported prerious
10 its going into effect, may subsequently pay The
reduced duty: thus for five months in 1916 i'm
ports were made and are charged to the Tariff
of'42 then in force but the repenue was puid in
1S47, and is credited to The Polk tariff: so in
fact the Secretary has stolen a lurge slice Of rev.
enue due TO 1916, and yet is minus three mil.
liors.
And now as TO its effect upon foreign produc-
tions The following table shows the quantity
of foreign productions consumed by The Uhited
States:
