French Glass for Conversation d Reading,
JVIH be opened Tuesday, The l4M inst, at p. m.
TINE OBJECT OF THIS CLASS is TO mid 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 iluenty. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge through the
eye alone, and hence the number of individuals
here who read tolerably well, but do not compre
bend a word OF French when spoken, or even when
read, by another. To such persons such Glass
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms of Profcs-
cor ID. T.. Gnoux, native Of France, who will di
rect and supcrintend the exercises, opposite
Browns Hotel, where tickets may be had.

yNO THE PUBLIc.-We the undersigned. hay.

THO THE PUBLIC.-We the undersigned, hav-
IL ing crossed Nicaragua, route from Cali
fornia 10 New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance of the agents OF the line that il
quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
namai and having found il entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure, deem IL duty to the public TO make
known the facts. The steamer independence, III
which we left San Francisco, brought down more
than double the number Of passengers she could
accommodate, and more than double the number
the agent represented as having taken passage on
her. The boat, too, 10 an unfit and unsafe
boat. The consequence was, that our passage 10
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and suf-
fering.
We confidently expected, on arriving at San Ju-
del Sud. to be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, as we had
been led to believe that the transit would not re-
quire more than forty eight hours We found,
however, that the agent had not provided animals,
and could not procure them; that, after remain
ing two days, many of the passengers set OIL on
foot, under the assurance that their baggage would
be forwarded TO them, and that the steamer would
not leave Panama without il. We found the road
10 Lake Nicaragua nearly impraoticablc, and the
distance, instead of being twelve miles, many OF
us had to travel thirty. The boats on the lake and
river are very small and unfit for passengers and,
although packed like slave ships could not take
half of the passengers. We were without food and
exposed to violent rains On the seventh day we
reached San Juan del Nortc, and were forced to
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not moro
than one half the passengers of the Independence
have been able TO get through; the remainder,
some two hundred, being left ON the route with the
specie, and nearly all the baggage We were most
uncivilly received and miserably provided for on
board the Prometheus. In consequence, we left
her at Havana, and by the kindness Of Captain
Schenck we were received on board the Ohio.
1t is not necessary to give detailed account of
tho annoyances to which have been subjected
by the misrepresen taton and insolence of agents,
the want of food and room, the loss of baggage
and unexpected delay; it is enough to express
conviction that under the present management,
and in the present condition of the roads, and the
present means of transportation, the Panama route
is preferable to that by Nicaragua.
In conclusion, we beg to return our thanks to
Captain Schenck of the steamship Ohio, for the
courteous treatment we have received from him
during our boisterous passage, and particularly
for receiving us on board, as il was contrary, we
informed to his instructions to receive passen-
gers from the opposition line.

THE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
n present many novel features suited TO the adj
vancing demands of the public taste. II has ever
been the object of the publisher TO take the lead

the host OF imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain"-are suffi-
cient TO attest bis brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises Of
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow is sufficient however,

ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
