FASHIONABLE ARRrvALs.-Dr. Brewster, the cele-
bIsted dentist Of Paris, has arrived at the New
York Hotel, in company with his beautiful wife,
who, it will be remembered. is the sister Of DR..
Bennet,, the gifted editor of the London Lancet.
While DR.. Brewster WASH Europe, his profession al
tkill was called INTO requison by crowned heads
and noble families, who, sin spite of their teeth"
were found to acknowledge the Doctors accom-
plisbments in bis art. Even the Emperor Nicholas
had to pay tribute to him, in the shape of tooth,
and the Doctor put gold in the AutOcrat's mouth
10 some purpose, extracting much more from the
pure of Nicholas. In fact, Dr. Brewster has had
a monopoly of the business in Europe, and, for
several years, has outsripped every rival, English
French and German, moulding and fitting new
jaw TO fame. He now returns short visit to
his native land.

Transcript, young lady residing in Han

happy frame of mind. After having fall
len asleep she had frightful dre.lm OF
vision. She dreamed that her brother
who was in the Western part of New York
was killed, and his body horribly mangled
IN death. This dream seemed so vivid
and real, and impressed hor mind so forci-
bly,, that she woke. and even rose from
her bed, and walked her room, weeping
in great anguish.
Another lady who was asleep in an ad-
joining chamber, was awakened by her
wailings, and on going into the room to as
certain the cause, found her sitting in a
chair weeping. The lady endeayored to
soothe her fears, and finally persuaded her
to retire once more to bed, and try 10 for.
getthe dream. The next Monday morn.

DEATH OF QUEEN ApELAIDE.-The past year
has beeh peculiarly fatal to distinguished persons in
this country and in Europe, and 10 increase the list
the steamer brings us intelligence of The demise of
QueenAdelaine, the dowager Queen Of England
For some time past she has been upon her death
bed only sustained in a lingering existence BY the
efforts Of the first physicians in England. She
was the wife of William w., and at his death was
allowed pension Of 100, 900 pound year, great
portion of which she has continually devoted to
charitable purposes. At the period Of the Reform
Bill agitation Queen Adelaide was rather unpopular
with the liberal party, and the lower classes, ac-
count Of of her alledged tory propensities II was
then the fashion to represent William as being com
pletey upper pel,icoat influence, and thousands of
coarse caricatures of himself and his wife swarmed
over the country Since that period, however. the
Queen has not inerfered with politics, she has lived
as private lady-her character as woman has al
ways been above repruach, and been more general
ly esteemed by the people than were most of her
German countrywomen who are called to reside al
the English Court.

The EXTENT OF OUR CoUNrRY.-It has been
computed that the United States has frontier line
of l0,750 miles, sea cost of 5 ,430 miles, lake
coast Of ,l60 miles. One OF its rivers is twice as
long as the Danube, the largest river in Europe
The Ohio 5000 0miles longer than the Rhne,ap the
noble Hudson has navigation in the Empire State
Within Louisiana are bayous and creeks, almost un-
known, that would shame, by comparison, the III

third larger than England. The State Of Ohio con
tains three thousand square miles more than Scot
land. The harbor of New York receives the ves-
sells that navigate rivers, canal, and lakes TO the
extent Of three thousand miles, equal to the dis
tance from America to Europe. From the capital
of Maine to the "Crescent City" is two hundred
miles further than from London to Constantinople
