LAST HoME FOR THE PR1NTER.-The Savan-
nah News says, that previous to the death Of
the late Samuel Chapman, editor of the Saw
annah Journal and Courier, few weeks since,
that gentleman purchased a lot in Laurel Grove
Cemetery to be appropriated especially as a
place of burial for printers. The purchase was
hardly completed when he himself was called to
the mansions Of the blessed, and his body be-
came the first occupant Of the tomb.

WINE EXPORTED FROM New ORLEANs.-The
shortness of a crop sometimes occasions the
most singular and anomalous commercial opera
tons. The quantity of Bordeaux wine imported
into New Orleans annually, says the n. o. Bee,
is extremely large but who could imagine that
the article would ever be exported back to
France Such however is actually the case.
Eight or ten days ago, six casks of excellent
Claret purchased from one of our best houses
at the rate of 800 per eask, were shipped on
board Havre packet, and consigned to Paris.
This curious circumstance will not surprise those
who are well posted up in the wine trade. Most
of the large wine merchants in France are en-
gagged ina heavy foreign commerce, and usually
supply the foreign market, before paying much
attention to the wants of the domestic one. AS
the wine harvest this year is exceedingly poor,
in consequence of the disease of the grape vine.
the better qualities are scarce, and command
heavy prices. Hence the demand for wine is SO
great as to justify shippers in sending good
wines back to France, where they will undoubt-
eddy realize profit.

AN AMERICANS INTERVIEW WITH THE QUEEN
MIR. Nathan Thompson, Jr. formerly engineer
of the Collins steamers, recently visited England
to exhibit an invention, which combines the
comfort of an easy seat with the utility of life
preserver, and is therefore a capital article to
be used on ships and steamers Desiring to ex-
hibit it to her majesty, he was referred to Cap
tain Denman, of the royal yacht. After ex-
planning his object to that gentleman, the merits
of the invention were experimental upon in the
presence of the royal party. Mr.. Thompson,
meanwhile, stood amidships, unnoticed, and
fearing that, after all, he should not accomplish
the great object of his visit. In this, however,
he was agreeably disappointed, as will appear
by the following statement which we copy from
the London News:
At that moment, much to his delight, Captain
Denman, touched him ON the shoulder, and said,
8: Mr. Thompson | have permission to present
you to her Majesty" 81 shall be very happy
sir; and, amid the smiles and ttterings of the
party who surrounded the Queen, he approached,
and was introduced by Captain Denman, saying,
81 have the honor to present the inventor of
the life buoy to your Majesty" elbow dye
do, ma'am," said Mr. Thompson. The Queen
bowed, and the ladies suppressed their meriment
as well as they could. Il have broughtma'a am, y
said Mr.. Thompson, zone of my seats as a
present for you and your husband, which hope
you'll accept" At this, further, attempts at
repression of laughter were unayailing; but
the Queen, with great good nature, smiled, and
condescendingly said, s.Thank you, Mr.. Thomp-
son, it is very interesting and useful inven-
ton" After replying to few inquiries from
Prince Albert, whose rank he was not aware of
until he subsequently saw the Queen leaning on
his arm, Mr.. Thompson withdrew, and waving
his hat in exuberant spirits, embarked in one
of the Fairy's boats, kindly provided for him by
the captain.

" FoREIGNERs - AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS
The following from the "Union," federal organ,
is indicative of a change in front in bighrlnart-
ers. such as we have for sometime expected and
predicted to incredulous friends. Waterman,
what of the night?
In taking its position it should be carefully
borne i'll mind that the democratic party neither
assumes that the naturalization laws as they
now exist are perfect, nor that foreigners have
not on some occasions subjected themselves to
Just censures. nor that the Roman Catholic re-
ligion is based upou the true Christian creed
Citizenship is boon granted to foreigners by
the liberality of our institutions, and this fact
cannot be too carefully weighed and appreciated
by our foreign citizens. They should constantly
remember that the high privileges conceded to
them have been granted upon the reasonable
expectation that they would surrender their dis
tinetive native nationalities. and become fused
and assinlilated to our native citizens in all
their feelings, sentiments, and devotion to our
liberal institutions. 1t becomes them now, in
view of the late significant expressions of popular
feeling, to consider we'll whether in their past
conduct they may not have given occasion to
much of the opposition which exists against
them.
Native Americans are justly proud of their
high prerogatives, and they are naturally jealous
of anything like foreign influence upon their
institutions In these sentiments and feelings
we participate to the fullest extent, and it is be-
cause We do that We so earnestly repel the i'm
putation that the Democratic party has pursued,
or will ever pursue, san incendiary policy,
in order to conciliate the foreign vote Natural
lied citizens ought to see, in the immense in
crease of foreign immigration within the last
few years, legitimate reasons for an earnest in
vestgation by native citizens of the probable
influence of this increase of foreign population
upon our institutions. This is fair and legiti-
mate subject for discussion; and if it shall re-
suit in the conviction that our naturalization
laws are defective and require to be amended
and reformed, the naturalized citizen ought
neither to be surprised nor to complain

A FEMALE DooToR.--An advertisement in
to-day's issue, will no doubt startle many, to
learn that we have now located in our midst a
real genuine female NJ. D.; one who has re-
ceived thorough medical ducation-regularly
examined-read her thess-and in possession
of bona .,fde diploma signed by all the Profess
ors of regular constituted Medical College,
and fully vouched for, rs competent to discharge
the responsible duties of Physician and Surgeon.
That lady is Mrs. Herisson, late of pEcole dt
Ia lNaternite of Paris, whose card will be found
under our advertising head.
Through the lady's request we called at her
Office during the past week, when she took &C.
casion to show us her diplomas, testimonials
from numerous medical societies, medals, and
valuable gifts, presented to her for meritorious
services. Among the sgners to her certificates,
we notice the name of the celebrated Madame
La Chapelle, Professors Dubois, Chaussier, Willy,
Desormaix, and lie Roux. Among her silver
medals we noticed one presented by the Min
lister Of Agriculture and Commerce with letter
of thanks for services rendered her country; two
other silver medals-one with the etfgy Of
Charles Xth, and the other with that of Louis
Philippe: two gold medals, one with the efiigy
of Louis XVIII, and the other with that of
Louis Philippe.
She has other honorable tokens of the esteem
and confidence in which she was held by the
learned of France, among which is Moraus
Work and Atlas: a beautiful lancet case, ETC.,
all Of which go far to prove that she must have
superior talents in her profession, and is emin-
emily deserving of support, more especially as
an obstetrician, which her sex peculiarly quail
fes her to discharge.
