The removal of the modern appendages to the
building, that these beautiful grounds might be
revealed to Chestnut street, would be proper; but
the old edifce as it stood in '76, should be per-
mitted to remain as it is for centuries to come.

oInasmuch as Mr. De Sartiges now AYERS that
the French government had only in view the ex-
ecuton of the provision of its maritime code
against pirates further discussion of the subject
would seem to be for the present unnecessary" !"
Thus Mr.. Webster, regardless of the "unmeri-
ted and dishonoring suspicion" thus cast on the
people and government of the United States
careless of the feelings Of resentment Nth nohich
they must regard the French cruisers, sailing mp and
down our shores, 10 perform, their needless task q
protecting Cuba and their ungraeous office Of ,catch-
ing hepeoplc Of this country, as0 they ,oere fruitful

Mr. Crittenden attempted to repel, and quietly
submits to the exercise by the French cruisers
of "a sort of police over the seas in urmmediate
vicinity"
i If we turn from the French Minister to tht
British Charge, we find that the result Of Mr.
Crittenden's remonstrance against the orders
given to the British cruisers is equally bumilat
ing. For in reply Lord Palmerston says to Mr.
Champion as follows:
elf you should have any future correspond
ence with the Secretary of State this subject
you may assure him that every care will be takel
that in executing these preventive measure
: against the expeditions of persons whom the
United States government itself has denounced
as not being entitled to the protection of an.
government, no interference shall take place wit
the lawful commerce Of any nation"
This was communicated by Mr. Champion b
Mr.. Webster, and was considered by the latte
perfectly satisfactory. SO that we are to hay

Local ImrrnVenent.

The West Wing Of the main building OF
the University at Lcwisburg, is now COM
pleted, and a few days since was taken
possession of by Prof Taylor and most OF
the students entitled to rooms there. This
wing is a four story brick building, 1l5
feet in length by 35 in width. 1t contains
35 front study rooms, each II feet square,
and in the rear of each study room 2 dor
mitcres or sleeping rooms, each + by IL
feet in size Every room has a window,
is we'll warmed by furnaces, and is provi-
ded with good means of ventilation. The
views from both front and rear windows
are grand and pleasing, and can not fail to
have the happiest influence upon the mind
of the students We learn that the Lew
isburg Ladies Sewing Circle have fitted up
seven or eight dormitories, and intend to
furnish the corresponding study rooms, for
the use of students; and that Ladies in
Milton and other quarters are also engaged
in fitting out rooms for the same purpose.
In other cases, individuals furnish rooms
according to their own means and tastes.
The imposing edi6ce of which this is
part, was planned by Tho's U. Walter, Of
Philad., and is model of its kind. Few
if any buildings intended for educational
purposes, can be found in the Union, better
adapted to the convenience, the comfort,
and the health of students. 1t is well
worth visit from those of our citizens
who have not been to the Hill since this
wing was completed. The present and the
Academic building have been erected at
cost Of $4,000, and the remaining build
ings included in the plan will be put up
as fast as the necessities of the Institution
may require. The main building when
fully completed will present front Of near
325 feet, with central cdifce and dome
Of corresponding magnitude and style of
architecture. An Astronomical Observa-
tory, and separate building for the Fe-
male Department, will also be erected in
the course of time. We hope before long
to be supplied with cut, which will give
our distant readers more definite idea of
the appearance and dimensions of the
University buildings.
