View of Nashville,

Messrs HART & MAPoTHER have published
their View of Nashville, and subscribers will
be furnished with copies Immediately. The
work is all that it was promised it should
be, and indeed is a triumph of art really aston
ishng. The most insignificant domicil in the
city and suburbs can be traced and identified
with facility, and marginal references are at
tached referring to the most prominent public
buildings. The whole thing possesses the viz
tue OF accuracy, and is gotten up in snch style
as will make il an acceptable ornament foI the
Counting House and even the Parlor.
STEAMBOAT DISASTERS ON THE WESTERN Wa
TERs.-Mr. W. a. Lloyd, agent, for the firm of
J. T. Lloyd & Co, of Cincinnati, who have in
press and will shortly publish a book with the
above title, is in our city on business connected
with this publication, collecting materials, re-
ceiving subscriptions, &c. The advertisement
of the work will be found in our columns. 1t
will be one Of the most interesting and valua-
Die publications of the times and the first edi-
ton will consist of 14O,0 900 copies.
It will cover the whole history of the com
MERGE and Navigation OF me esIern waters,
and embrace statistics and facts of great value,
not heretofore published. 1t will also treat Of
the condition and prospects of the commerce
of the West, and we hope will be the means of
calling the attention of the powers at Wash
ington to the importance of fostering, encour-
aging and aiding the efforts of the Western
people to promote and extend these great and
vital interests.

The Funds fell again 10 day, but without any
political cause none in fact but the considerations

For nearly two months in the year-that is, in
July and part OF Augustine weather was very
fine. The sun was up night aud day, and when its
beams fell direct the temperature was comfortable,
almost hot; the thermometer marking perhaps so to
60 degrees. Il was peculiar fact, however, that
while the hot enough to melt the ice, where
its rays had full power, the ice still held firm in the
shade; so that on the sunny side ice melted-on

LEGrsLATURE.-In our issues we shall give as is
found in to days issue, synopses of the proceedings

This synopsis, of which the Chattanooga
AdUertiser speaks, is made daily by us, during
the busiest part of the day, for the accommo-
dation of such of our readers as dislike to fol-
low the detail of legislative proceedings, pre-
ferring rather to get the gist of their bust
ness in a short space and especially for the
convenience of the country press to whose
columns they are exactly adapted. No ether
paper in the city gives them, though it is a
practice we have kept up now for years. We
barely suggest to our Chattanooga contempt
raries-a fact which they must have inadver-
tently overlooked-that they have failed, thus
far, in giving the proper credit for these Legs-
lative SUN mares.
