TIME OBJECT OF THIS CLASS is to aid in
Il every possible way those persons in Washing
ton who desire to acquire an accurate knowledge
of French, and to learn not only TO read, but to
speak the language fluently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge through the
eye alone, and hence the number of individuals
here who read tolerably we'll. but do not comprc-
bend word of French when spoken, or even when
read, by another. To such persons such Class
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms OF Profcs-
sor ID. f. GRoUx, native of France, who will dl-
rect and superntend the exercises, opposite
Browns Hotel where tickets may be had.

LETTERS OF CALvIN.-The publication of the vol
umc of the hitherto unpublished letters of Calvin,
it seems, has been delayed and is still embarrassed
The minister of public instruction, under Louis
Philippe, had committed the publication of these
letters Professor Bonnet formerly OF the college
at Nismes, and dismissed from thence for speaking
too highly of Luther. He travelled in France and
Switzerland at the expense of the government in
order to collect the letters. After the revolution
the influence of the Catholic clergy with the gov
crnment became more effective, and so the new
minister of public instruction found thousand diff
fcultes in the way of accepting the labor of nj.
Bonnet. The subject was finally referred to a COM
ttee who reported in favor of the publications yet
TO split the difference with the clergy, they on pre-
t.nce of saving of expense, ordered that some oil
the less important letters should be omitted, and
that the Latin and French letters should be pub
lshed together in the same volume. The number
of Cavn's unpublished letters in the collection il
497; of these 100 are French, 307 in Latin.

the genuine article, M FELIX PROT, proprietor

BALTIMORE AND OHIo RAILROAD WEsT.-The
Cumberland (Md.) Miners Journal, Of the l4th
instant, says:
"The passenger cars are now running to Oak
land, fifty three miles west of Cumberland, and
the track is finished TO the sixty sixth section, or
about thirteen miles further. The amount Of travel
on this part Of the road is already most atterng,
showing the importance of the local travel to every
railroad. The cars are generally filled with pas-
sengers, both going west and east, and the people
on the line Of the road seem delighted with the
facilities afforded them. All the officers of the
company are polite. courteous, and accommodate
ing, and ride on the railroad west is worth tax
ing, if il be merely for the pleasure of passing
through region unsurpassed for the grandeur Of
its scenery
The same paper also says:
"Vsnison.--The opening of the railroad to the
gades Of Allegheny has caused large supplies of
venison TO pour into our market, large portion Of
which eventually finds its way TO the city of Balti
more. We noticed the other day single lot
brought down from Oakland, the spois of sim
gle hunter, of than five hundred pounds
weight"
