eay- We understand that Hon. A. C. Dodge

OF Iowa, has received the appointment of Min
lister to Spain, in the place of Hon. j. G. Breck-
ipridge. Mr.. Dodge was the first delegate to
Congress from the Territory Of Iowa. and has
for some years represented that State in the
Senate. He has recently been defeated by the
Fusion party, principally ON account of his
course in advocacy of the Nebraska bill. A
martyr in defense of the Constitution, he is fit
recipient of the high confidence thus reposed in
him by the Executive.

The Revenue Department.

The total amount Of duties collected at the
San Francisco custom house from the st Jan.
uary to the 10Th December, 1854, was I,46l-
leo 81, against $2,652,s08 SO during the pre-.
eedng year, which is a falling off Of no less
than $l,l9l,84S 28--nearly one-half. The
statistics of the port during the past year show
many curious facts, and probably the most
extraordinary is, that while the decrease in the
number Of ships that arrived during the year
was 245, the falling off on the tonnage was
only 6,494 tons.

A boat from shore was sent in pursuit Of the

Interesting Statistics.

The New York Herald of the 1st instant con-
tanned great many valuable statistics of crimes
and casualties during the past year.
The total mount of property destroyed by fire
during the wear is estimated at over S22,000OU0.
The Herald enumerates every fire, where the dam
age exceeded $4,000 Two are named as having
occurred in Bufalo-one in April, loss $4,000,
the other in August loss $4,000. The latter was
the fire in the Kremlin Block, injuring Houses or
gan mandatory and several stocks of goods.
The railroad accidents number 1876 per
sons killed and $50 injured. The number killed
outright is less than last year-the number OF
accidents and the number of wounded show in
crease over that period.
EIghty-six Revolutionary patriots have died
during the year-the largest number of deaths OF
this brave and venerable class of citizens occurred

Nh. Enron: AS the course of public lectures
which being given in this place on We'd
nesday eveningof each week, is soon to close
would it not be advisable TO take measures to
continue to occupy one evening of the week, with
a similar entertainment
That the lectures have been thus far instruc-
tive and interesting, all can attest, who have at
tended them. That they were called for and were
popular the uniformly good and increasing
audiences testify. That these public enter
tainments should not cease at the close of the
proposed course is evident. Neither the subjects.
which are calculated to interest the people nor
the talent of the place has been exhausted There
is enough not yet called out, TO give another
course of ten or more lectures subjects In
whose discussion we should all be Interested
Our medical men could cot Only interest but also
instruct by few simple lectures on the struct-
ure OF the human body, the causes of disease, and
the preservation of health. Those OF the legal
profession would render service to community
bv giving an illustration of few leading prncl-
pies of national and civil law; and merchants
and mechanics, miners and o,hers-very many OF
them could intereat and instruct us on subjects
relating to their several occupations.
1t would be profitable TO listen to short oral
d. cussions of the interesting questions of the day
The two, e. public lectures and oral discussions
mig 1T be so combined as add interest to each
The advantages among others-woud be general
increase of knowledge among the people-Im-
