PARIS, FRANCE, Jan. TO- 1852.
AT recent meeting Of tho American physi
clans in Paris an association was established
whose object is the promotion of medical science.
This association, essentially national, is now
progressing under the most favorable auspices.
II lie intended to be permanent in its nature, and
is designated the "Amercan Medical Society in
Paris"
Notwithstanding the vast advantages afforded
by the French metropolis for the study of med
ical and surgical science, we feel ourselves iso-
lated from our national medical literature, and,
therefore, confidently appeal to the conductors
Of American journals and periodicals.
We do this with less hesitation, feeling as
sured that it will be not only a medium Of i'm
proyement to ourselves, but means of new
general diffusion and just appreciation of Amer
lean literature.
By order of the Society,
ALEXANDER J. SEN MES, n. ID. of d. c.,
Corresponding Secretary Of The American
Medical Society in Paris.
NIB. Editors ofsecular and medical journals
in the United States, faYorably disposed, are
respectfully requested to copy the above circu-

case Of Samuel Williams, charged with misde.
meanor in giving notice of the intended arrest
of fugitive slaves at Christiana retired yesterday
afternoon under the charge of the court, to form
verdict. They were out all night, without
being able to agree but came into court this
morning, few minutes after 10 O'Clock, with a
verdict of "not guilty" The jurors stood six
for conviction and six for acquittal up to late
this morning. There are two other bills against
Williams, but we presume mol. pros. will be en-

.BN The Reading PA Gazens and Demo
Graf has the following remarks on the release of
the Christiana treason rioters:--
:" IL ever justice was cheated Of her DUE she
has been in these Chrstana cases. Here, we
have seen the laws of the State and Of the Union
set at defiance by an armed mob; a citizen of
an adjoining State, in the peaceful pursuit of his
lawful property, deliberately murdered, and his
body bfutally mangled; Others severely wound
ed and obliged to flee for their lives and yet
the perpetrators of this bloody outrage, with
their aiders and abettors, are allowed to go scot
free OF what value are our laws, when they
become Impotent to punish such helnons crimes
as these! Where the fault lies. we will not un
dertake to decide. But that there has been a
grave omission somewhere, the faces that the
deed is done, and the actors are again at liberty

Several persons have obtained ferry or right

like il.coupled dogs, have been turned loose by
divorce, and divers similar acts of legislation
have been performed, but the greater portion of
the time has been consumed in frivolous and

DEATH FROM THE EXPLOSION OF GuH Pow
pER.--A melancholy occurrence took place early
on Saturday morning last, at the United States
arsenal, situate at the extreme north western
part of the city, which. we regret to state, was
attended with loss of life. The facts of the case,
as politely furnished us by Capt. Bradford, the
officer in command are substantially as follows:
John Balster, private in the army, and pyro-
iechnist'by profession obtained permission Of
his commander to prepare display of fireworks,
which Were intended for exhibition on the 22d
inst, in commemoration of Washingtons birth
day. There are three one story brick buildings
on the enclosure, some distance from the main
building, contiguous to each other, two of which
were temporarily used by Balster, while pre-
pairing his fireworks, in one of which was "A
barrel containing some so lbs. of loose powder,
and in the other were arranged the pieces of
fireworks already flushed He and his assist
ant were enga ed at work on the morning above
mentioned, the latter, however, soon left the
premises, and it is supposed that while Balster
was in the net Of ramming powder in a rocket
it gnited from friction, and by some means or
other the fire was communicated to the loose
powder in he other building Two explosions
followed each other in quick succession, and
when Capt Bradford repaired to the scene of
disaster, Balsier's body was found terribly man.
gled. The building in which the poor fellow
was at work was RACED to the ground, and the
bricks scattered in every direction. One of the
sides of each of the other buildings were blown
out, besides being otherwise injured. Balster.
it is thought, must have been aware of his
danger, and attemp ed to escape, but in doing
so was killed by the second explosion, which
buried him under the ruins. He has left a wife
and three children. His remains were conveyed
TO one of the apartments of the arsenal, " here
an inquest was held, and the jury returned
verdict in accordance with the above facts

THE PARDON OF ALBERTO BY Gov. BIGLER. -
The Harrisburg Union, in announcing the par
don of George f. Albert, of Philadelphia, who
was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years
for what was termed kidnapping, thus states
some of the facts in the case
Albert was engaged by gentleman in Mary
land, (Mr Mitchell, of Cecil couuty,) to arrest
a female runaway slave, then in the State of
New Jersey. When arrested, she had in her
arms an infant that had been born in free
State. When taken before the United States
officer and remanded to her owner, she was
told that she should leave the child in Philadel-
phia, where it would be cared for at a public
institution, and would of course be free This
she positively refused to do, and adhered to the
determination to take the child with her. AL
BERT then delivered her and the child over to
the parties from Maryland authorized to receive
her
The Abolitonists of Philadelphia had Albert
arrested for kidnapping and he was arraigned
for trial before Judge Parsons. Before coming
to trial it was ascertained that this man could
not be convicted without obtaining the evidence
of felon then under sentence in the Philadel
pha prison, by the name of Thomas Richard
son. The Abolitionsts repaired to Harrisburg
and obtained pardon for Richardson, dated on
this convicted felon was brought from his cell
to the witness stand to give testimony on
which to convict Albert of kidnapping. The
charge Of the Judge in this case was one of the
most extraordinary documents we ever read,
and in accordance with this one-sided charge
the defendant was convicted and sentenced for
period that would, in all probability, have
terminated his life, if ne had been obliged to
serve il out.
These were the means resorted to by the
Abolitionists and Governor Johnson to convict
this old man, Albert, and it will be a source of
qualification to every philanthropc citizen to
learn that Gov Bigler has granted him par
don.
In our view, this old man committed no Of
fence whatever. He did not carry off the child
to Maryland, because it was not carried into
slavery; and even if he had done so, he CON-
mtted no offence against the laws of Pennsyl-
vania, as the woman and child were taken from
New Jersey.
The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1852-02-09

All over the country great difficulties seem to
prevail in harmonizing the component parts of
the old parties. We subjon. two of the latest
reports of proceedings in Maine and Pennsy-
