The Entertainment of Mr.. Bishop, con.

The Entertainment of Mr.. Bishop, consist
ing of songs and scenes, though agreeably
chaste aud instructive, is not quite as well patro-
nized as it should be by the public. We cannot
believe that this is owing 10 want Of taste in the
community, but rather to an inadequate know
ledge of the merits Of the exhibition and Of the
rich vocal powers OF the accomplished proprietor.
The 'spirit rappings," = the close Of the perform
ances, afford not a little merriment and we are
inclined to- the opinion that they are just as genuine,
under the superintendent of a Bishop, as they
are under that of For.

witch Islands, we learn that the question of CON-
mencing negotiations for the cession Of the SOW
ereignty of the islands TO the United States, upon
such conditions as will secure to the inhabitants
all their civil rights and their property, is being
generally discussed by the foreign residents in the
islands. II is the opinion of our correspondent
that the general desire for such a cession will op-
crate upon the minds ofthe king and chiefs. The
representatives of Great Britain and France are
very much disturbed at this state Of facts. Accord
ingly, on August 30, they asked an audience ofthe
King and Privy Council, : for the purpose of ex-
pressing their sentiments respecting some occur
rences which they conceive deeply involved in the
sovereignty of the King and the independence OF
the islands. This had been granted, to take place
after the date of our dispatches. If these repre-
sentatives speak highly of American sympathy,
and so forth, il is supposed there will result a
state of feeling which will drive the King 10 an
immediate application to President Pierce. Very
possibly the question of a~nnexing the islands may
be brought before the next Congress-

Her far-fetched figures aye maun fail
To touch the feeling heart

Russia.-A late calculation respecting the mill
tary power of Russia, makes the force which the
Gear could employ in a European war, without
the reserve, the local garrisons, or the army IN the
Caucasus, being in any way reduced, to consist of
3GS battalions of infantry, 46S squadrons OF cavalry,
and 996 guns or, in other words, in the eventu-
ality of a European war, Russia could operate
with a force of 500, 900 men and 1000 guns, with
out laying itself open 10 Great Britain, Sweden, or
TO the Caucasus. In case of a great war Russia
could operate, by means of her first, second, and
third reserves, and the Cossack and Tartar forces,
with one million of combatants and with 500
guns. This is the estimate Of a Prussian officer
Of great experience on the point in question,

ventilation.--At the meeting Of the pa,holo

Ventilation.--At the meeting of the Patholo-
gical Society of the District of Columbia, held dur
ing the past month, DIR. Lindsey presented an in
teresting paper on the subject of ventilation-of
an abundant and constant supply of pure, fresh
air, so important to health and vigor both of body
and mind.
He says, among other things, that our public
buildings, our school houses, our churches, our
concert rooms, and other places of public meet
ings, are quite as deficient in the proper means OF
ventilation as our private dwellings. OF these,
the defects of the school room are perhaps the
most important, as they are occupied more con-
stantly and for longer periods.
Calculations show the deficiency of pure air and
the necessity for artificial ventilation, which, so
far as the Doctor is acquainted, has not been in
troduced into a single school room in Washington,
either public or private. And whenever boys or
girls are crowded into unventilated school rooms,
injurious consequences, mental and physical, must
necessarily follow. The effect upon the intellectual
faculties is peculiarly s~triking-torpor and drowsi-
ness, more or less marked, inevitably follow, and
many an unlucky urchin has been punished for an
ill-prepared lesson, the cause of which neither he
nor his teacher understood, and which would not
have occurred if the school room had been fur
nished with a more ample supply of oxygen.
Our churches are equally in need Of a thorough
mode of artificial ventilation, and yet but few, if
any of them, are supplied with it. They, on an
average, do not contain more than eighty thousand
cubic feet. An audience of four hundred persons
would exhaust this in twenty minutes, and every
moment Of the remaining hour and a half usually
devoted to public service, renders the atmosphere
more and more impure and unfit for respiration.
Suppose the audience 10 be increased to one thou
sand, as it sometimes is, and the supply of pure air
would fail in eight minutes!
Here we see the cause of headaches, the faint
ings, and illness, SO often occurring in crowded
assemblies and we can likewise perceive a rea-
son for people sleeping in church, besides the sup
posed dullness of the preacher.
We trust that the object of DR.. Lindsey, in the
discussion of this important subject, will be at
tanned, namely: to attract to it more fully than
heretofore the attention of the medical profession,
and, if possible, that of the public.
