Discovery IN SURGERY-A Prussian
named Aran is said 10 have recently made
a discovery in surgery that is exciting
considerable interest III the scientific cir
cles OF Berlin. 1t is the application of
chlorine TO relieve pain. Unlike chloro-
form i, can be used without the least
danger to the patient, aud is very effect
ual in its operation. From the account,
a small quantity of the fluid, (from ten
10 twenty dfops) is dropped ou the part
affected, or on lin. bandage slightly
molstened with water, and then applied,
aud all bound up in oil silk. and linen
band After from two TO ten minutes the
part becomes lnseneible, and the pain is
no longer felt whether it be from rheu-
matte, nervous. or other disorders. AT
ter time 1t returns again, but usually
weaker, and with several applications it
is often entirely relieved. The discoverer
has presented memorial On the subject

ExHlBITIoN.-Ihe samples of cotton
shown in the American department are
amongst the best of the specimens Of
raw produce, Tor our neighhors across
the Atlantic have determined that the
samples OF their cotton should at the
same time be worthy of their high repu-
tation and of the Great Exhibit on TO
which they are sent. They nave conse-
qIentiy not merely contented themselves
with few samples Of tirst-rate cotton,
but have sent over full-size bales cf some
dozen of the principal cottons known in
commerce. The American cottons are
so well known, and so highly esteemed
in trade, that this would hardly have
been necessary; but. nevertheless It was
by far the best mode of showing them
1t is much easier to Judge of the quail
ity of cotton when it is shown in the
form of an entire bale; and besides, it is
much more fair 20 send a good average
bale, such as might be met with in com.
merce, than to pick out and carefully pre-
pare a museumspecinen; the latter might
be more beautiful but it would be far
less instructive and for commercial pur.
poses would be of very little value. The
American cottcns are evidently all really
genuine bales, aud they are also of first
rate quality. It would be no easy matter
even for the npst experienced broker to
distinguish milutely the relative value of
the several tales. The chief cottons
shown are from Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nessee, anG Suth Carolina. Amongst
