PROFEssOR GROUX'S

French Class for Conversation d Heading,
HIi be opened on Tuesday, the l4th inst, att p. m
rINHE OBJECT OF THIS CLASS is to aid In
i 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 &c
speak the language fuently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge throughthe
eye alone, and hence the number OF individuals
here who read tolerably well, but do not compre-
hend 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 Profes-
cor ID. Z. GRoUx, native Of France, who will di-
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
Iirowns Hotel, where tickets may be had.

whole of the Ohio House Of Delegates, to
protect the rights Of persons claimed as fu-

GopEY's LADY's BooK.-The praise we have
bestowed upon s:Graham" should be repeated in
favor of Godey's splendid Magazne-the pioneer
of all others in this country. So nearly equal as
to merit do we consider them that we will not re-
commend one in preference to the other. But we
leave persons to decide for themselves, if they
choose to examine copies OF each which can be
seen at the Chimes" office. The January num-
Der, for 1853, of the Lady's Book approaches as
near to perfection in the arts of printing and en-
craving as we imagine it is possible to 60. We
saw nothing of its reading matter that speaks for
itself now as it has always done-''like book -
The price of this Magazine is also SO per annum.
But Cooley says he will furnish one copy of Lady s
year, for 81; or one copy of Lady's Book, and one
COPY of Arthur's Home Magazine, containing 80
pages, for $3.50. Address, l.. A. Cooley, Phila-

to make a combined effort TO procure the
passage by the legislature Of law to pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within
the Stale, or, at least, to obtain such modi
ica,ion of the existing license system, as
shall greatly diminish the consumption of
ardent sprits. The object in view is GER
tainly praseworhy. There is a now iri-
al for murder going on in the criminal court
Of our city, where the murder is clearly
cbargeable to the effects of liquor-and such
cases frequently occur. Vice and immortality
are spread over the land by the same cause,
and i, is clearly The duty of the legislature
to take The subject into consideration, and
to adopt measures 10 redress existing evils.
We have repeatedly required to this subject,
from the conviction, that legislative action
is required for the tranquility and happiness
of society and we think that all friends of
RELIGION and morality should unite in urging
mon the legislature The adoption of restrain
mo measures. If it should be considered
inexpedient to pass the Maine liquor law.
Ia, The license system be at least SO alter ed
40 10 confine the sale Of ardent spirits and
intoxicating drinks Of all kinds to the re-
oularlv established hotels. With this OBJ
;ec, The price of license might be so great
~ increased as to prevent the continuance oil
he nresent Obstructive retail business. By
This means the public revenue would no,
he diminished, if 1t were not increased Sc
