PRoF. CRANES LEcrURF.--The lecture OF ths
gentleman on Tuesday night was largely attended
by some of the most scientific and intelligent cti-
zens of Nashville. Heis truly man Of scientific
attainnents; he understands thoroughly the laws
of mind, and the laws which govern man. In his
elaboration of his favorite science Phrenoogy, he
gives the nearer a clearer insight into those great
laws which govern the mental and physical uni
verse than any other of the many lecturers who
have visited our city. 90 yfl ff2
After his lecture be gave the heads of several
persons present an examination; and in the de-
iineaton Of their characters, he gave such charac
teristc descriptions silenced all scepticisnl We
hope he may succeed in getting class largely over
the number wished for.

WASHINGTON, June lst-The Postmaster Gene
raj hes had a consultation with the directors Of
the Orange snd Alexandra Railroad, upon the sub
ject of carrying the Great Southern Mail from this
city to Richmond, instead of by the way of Aqua
Creek, as heretofore. We learn he has decided
that this route will ensure more prompt transport
tation than the old, especially during the winter,
when the river is blocked by ice, and awaits the
action of the board at their next meeting
1t is the impression here that our Foreign Affairs
are now in a more quiet state than has existed for
rome years, and whatever differences exist are in

Core FOR HYDRoPHoBTA.-The following extract
IS from letter dated New Orleans, May 8, 1855,
from an officer in the army to the Commissioner Of
Patents:
al send you herewith some seeds for distribu-
tion used here in the cure OF the bite of the mad
dog 1t is considered as an efectual remedy in the
parish of st. Bernard of this State, and the cures
which are stated to have been effected from tn ,r
use are certainly very remarkable. l regret not
being able to give you their botanical name; but
the plant is tropical one, coming from Mexico
/ believe from the department of Tobasco The
seeds are called here, CRANES cOutre IA rage, and
are used as follows:
Threeiof them are broken up or pounded into
small pieces, and put into wine-gass of the best
sherry, (Zeres,) and allowed to steep for about
twenty four hours, and then being well stirred up
swallowed by the patient. The dose is repeated
three times day for about nine days, when the
person or animal may be considered as cured. |
am told that even dogs which have been bitten by
= rabid aninsl have been cured by this treatment,
ter by putting larger quantity of these seeds in
ttheir food.
q The seed must be soaked in water twenty-four
hours before planting, and the plant must be pro-
tected from the rays of the sun while still young
and lender 1t resembles much the ollra plant,
and should be planted late in the spring."

that if the exports of gold continued tne specie
reserve in banks would go down to 81, ooo ,ooo.-
The exports have continued, quite as large as was
anticipated, and the specie in banks is upward OF
$1,000, 600. We shall very likely continue to
ship specie largely for years to come. As long as
