addressed the meeting He stated that in this cause,
the country was a unit. The North and the South
were united hand in hand, heart and heart. Who,
then, shall attempt to stay our progress? Great
Britain by her recent conduct has given indication
Of such desire but let US bear it in mind that we
have met her before in hostility, and who says we

4 Ell SPEECH OF Hon. II. N. FULLER.-The speech Of
\ Hon Henry NJ. Fuller, Of Pennsylvania, delivered on
Saturday iii the House Of Representatives, says the
II Washington American Organ, was Of extraordinary
power, and created a more decided effect than any
speech delivered at the Capitol during the present
session Of Congress. AS IN evidence Of this fact
will state that eighty thousand copies of the
speech were subscribed for before the adjournment Of
the House. Mr.. Fuller branded as forgeries certain
publications recently made by Mr. Caruthers of Mis-
4 souri,, and MI c. w. Jones. of Tennessee, charging
MI. Fuller with having been an advocate OF
Freesoil doctrines. He avowed himself decided ma
tional man on all subjects as he has always been, and
proved it by reference to the record of his political
career # M TO- 3Ea{ fs4
Mr.. Fuller also exposed the glaring Inconsistencies
of Mr. Buchanan's political life, and issectedthat as
piring candidate for the Presidency, with the keer
knife Of apolitieal Sir Ashley Cooper Never have
} Minnesota more triumphant vindication by any o
the great orators Of time, Of their own principles
and consistency, or more thorough humiliation o
politicalppponents. BY this speech Mr. Fuller has
} one bound attained the highest rank parliamen
tary debater, and the opposition may well congratu
L late ITSELF if it can find among its numerous and wei
trained cohorts single champion who can refute hi
i mastery arguments.
q The Scientific American gives m account Of nev
Artesian well being bored in the Avenue Charles
at the angle of the Avenue St. Cloud at Bett Pare
near Paris, for the purpose Of supplying the orna

paper has been communicated to the Academy by NJ
Dumas on the subject, from which it appears that N
Kind the engineer has undertaken to bore awell q
inches in diameter and continue the sinking, if neces
sary, to the depth of $500 feet and thus obtain
daily supply of 10000 cubic metres of water, being
nearly equal to the volume of water delivered by The

boring was commenced on August I'd last, with a di
