DECIMAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
petition, drawn up by M. Vattemare,
has been addressed to the American Sen
ate. Its purpose is to induce that body
to examine the French metrical decimal
system for weights and measures, and
adopt it, or similar one, in the United
States. In France, the monetary system
is decimal, and has been since the revolu-
ton of '96; the thermometer is decimal,
since Napoleon established the centr-
grade; and measures Of length, surface,
solidity, capacity and weight, have been
obligatory decimal since lS40
We hope Congress will give the subject
the attention it really deserves.

On the 18th our troops took posses
sion of the plateau, situated at the 'front.'
of attack called the masked baston,
and now occupy it. This evening we
construct there a masked battery of IL
guns, and if possible, a second battery
at the extreme right, above the declivi-

centrated on this bsstion, and will,
hope, soon clear it, with the assistance
of the English batteries which take it in
the left flank.
Yesterday about II O'Clock, A. NJ,
the allied feet attacked the exterior bat
teries of the place, but l have not yet
received the report of that attack, SO
as to enable me to give an account.
The English batteries are in the best
possible condition; they have received
nine new mortars which viii have great
effect.
Yesterday, in the battery which sur
rounded the tower situated on the left
of the town, an immense explosion took
place, which must have done great in
Jury to the enemy, for since then the fire
of that battery has been very slack;
and this morning only few guns were
able to FIRE from it.

BALTIMORE ITEMs.-The telegraph
brings us the following items of inter-
est from the Monumental City:
VIM. H. Martin, who has been the
principal distributing clerk in this city
for the last twenty years had been de-
tected in robbing the letters passing
through his hands of the money they
contained. He was detected through
the agency of decoy letter, and on
his house being searched, the letter and
the money it contained was found. His
salary was one thousand dollars per
anrum. his house being furnished in
a most extravagant manner, and his
living in the style which he did has ex-
cited the suspicion that these depreda-
tons have probably been going on for
several years.
Considerable feeling has been excited
here with regard to the escape of a
novice from the Sisterhood, at Emmett's
Bay, named Miss J. Bankley. She
escaped at three O'Clock in the morning
of the 10th, and is the daughter Of
Joseph Bankley of Norfolk, Protes-
tant. 1t is reported she wished to dis
solve her connection with the Sister
hood, and expressed desire to return
home. She then wrote her father let
ter which was destroyed before her
eyes, and she was compelled to write
another in different strain, declaring
the satisfaction she felt in being where
she was. This letter deceived her faith
er as tc the facts of the case, and all his
letters in return were consequently
handed to her unopened.
Aware that she was a prisoner, Miss
Bankley determined to escape, and
finally succeeded in doing so by clim-
bing through a sash over the place of
her confinement. She then walked ten
miles to Creadstown, where she COM
municated with her father, who came
for her.

Joy FOR DrsPEPTIcs.-The Dyspeptic is, in

Palid countenance and attenuated form, tell
the story of his sufferings. 1t is pity that

fault. There is medicine which will purge
him into life and health, and restore the liver

EAs the engineer Of the passenger
train on the Ogdensburg road was ap-
preaching a bridge near Potsdam, he
noticed a smoke rising from it, which
caused him to stop the train. Upon
examination, it was found the timbers
had been SO badly burned that the
bridge would have went down with the
train, and terrible loss of life would
have ensued. 1t was a fendish act,
and the perpetrator deserves to spend
the balance of his life in the Peniten-
tiary.

H There is quite schism among
the Baptists of New York. The trans
lation Of the Bible has been a bone of
contention among them for some time.
1t seems the majority are satisfied with
the present version, but the learned
portion denounce it as full of errors
The most material point between them
is that those in favor of new version
insist the word "baptism" should, in
every instance, have been rendered
immersion" They have at length
brought their differences before the
courts.
