TRANSATLANTIC COMMUNICATING b.
bott Lawrence writes, in answer to an invitation
of the mayor and chamber of commerce Of Lin
erck, that he has received various charts and
maps Of the harbors of Ireland, which have been
transmitted to the chamber of commerce of New
York; and observes that the people of the United
States are fully impressed with the benefits of
secure and rapid trans Atlantic communications.
Mr.. Lawrence compliments Ireland in enthu-
siasic terms, treats of the beauty of its scenery
the fertility of its soil, and the great resources
of the country yet undeveloped, and tenders his
Acknowledgements for the generous hospitality
with which he was greeted on his recent visit
thither; and promises continuance of his eff
forts, in his official position, to strengthen the
bonds of friendly feeling now existing between
that country and this.

MISS DIx.-The Senate of Alabama have
done one good thing, and done it well, this ses-
sion, and our State looks up. Miss Dix's bill for
a State hospital for the insane, which remained
among good deal of unfinished business the
last session, in consequence of the loss ofpublic
properly by the total destruction by fire of our
State capitol, has passed the Senate by an over
whelming minority. The House will do no
less, AS far as we can see The people are more
than satisfied The chairman of the committee
made two amendments last session, viz: ap-
pointing the judges of the Supreme Court in
stead of commissioners to locate the site and
plantation, and reducing the appropriation from
100000 to $4,000 These amendments are
stricken out, and the first reading of the bill re-
stored. With one hundred thousand we shall
have first rate 10 'pital, and soon it,will cease
to be necessary to send our patients miles to
have them cured of this dreadful malady. Our
sister on our north border, Tennessee, is going
ahead, and is opening her new hospital. We
see that the commissioners and legislature do
full justice to Miss Dix there. Her name, cut
in SOLID granite on the walls, shows that they
don't forget her or her works. The fact is, that
she asks nothing and wishes nothing for her
self, and she more deserves all things.-SoMh-
