CHARLES SUMNER.-Mr. Sumner is not so well
since his arrival as was expected. lie is obliged
most of the time to keep a reclining or half re-
clining position, in consequence of the almost
incessant pain in his spinal column, which is
the reflex action Of the wound on his head, indi-
eating that the brain has not entirely recovered.
This pain begins at the small Of the back and
extends up to the neck; producing also, ner-
vous sensitiveness in the region of the shoulders
and breast. If it were not for its persistency
during the last ten months, this maady might
perhaps, be likened to lumbago 1t is on this
account that he cannot remain long in sitting
posture, and when in bis easy chair, has his
back propped with pillows. He is, in fact, only
relieved of his pain when walking, standing or
lying down. Washington Letter.

viding that every person who shall desire to
indulge in the drinking of spiritous or malt
liquors, shall procure yearly license or permit
from the Clerk of the Court; the Clerk to keep
registry of all persons who may apply for
permits. All persons who shall sell to persons
having no permission to drink to be fined in
heavy sum. The reading of the bill was re-
ceived with considerable mirth The author of
the bill defended it on the ground that men had
to get licenses to sell goods, peddle wares, and
by the bill of the temperance committee. to sell
liquors. Single men had to procure license to
get married, and he was in favor of making
every man, who desired to drink liquor, carry

About the time Mr.. Buchanan returned from
his late visit to Washington, we heard whispers
Of singular and mysterious nature, in regard
to his illness and sudden return home. In pros
ecuting ou- inquiries, we ascertained that Mr..
Humes Porter, of this city, came home from
Washington with Mr.. Buchanan, also sick, aud
was obliged to take his bed where he has been
ever since. pAA 1sy hAa git .iol
AT the same time we were satisfied Of the
truth of the statements which we give below,
but, as extraordinary efforts were made here,
as well as at Washington, TO keep the matter
hushed up, we yielded to the solicitations of
friends, and withheld the facts in our possession
As they are now coming out through other
channels ii is due to our readers to give them
o history of this extraordinary case of a harrow
escape from wholesale poisoning. slf sdf .aee
When Mr.. Buchanan went to Washington, he
put up at The National House. where j. Clancy
Jones, John L. Dawson and others were stops
ping. II appears that this hotel has been terri
bly, infested with rats of late; and one of the
boarders--as the story goes--conceived the idea
that they ought to be disposed of ehectually be-
fore the day of Inauguration. Accordingly, he
procured extra large doses of arsenic, which he
disposed of in very tempting manner about
the house. The rats ate the poison. 1t is well
known that when rats partake of arsenic they
put directly Cor water. There is large tank
to, and into this the host of rats plunged, drank
bursted and died. From this tank the house is
supplied with water for drinking and cooking
purposes. 5oc maQa tt ai.f0lJ
Twenty or thirty of the guests suddenly aud
some of them severely Affected, from the use
of water thus imprcgnatcd with the poison. Mr..
Buchanan left suddenly for Wheatland where
he arrived suffering severely from diarrhma.
He was, however, less affected than the others,
and in short time recovered sufficiently to re-
ceive visitors-but the fatigue incident to enter
tanning two or three hundred persons, made it
absolutely necessary for him to husband his
strength by refusing to see any but hismost in
innate friends--a rule which was rigidly obscrv-
cd up to the hour of his departure this morning
DIR. Jones, ofBcrkcs, was more severely af-
fected and has been lying in critical condition
ever since--and a doubt about his recovery has
left his appointment to aplacc nthe Cabinet
an open question up to the present times
Among the others most severely affected was
Hon. John l. Dawson. and it was rumored this
morning that he has since died. The report,
however, needs confirmation. Mr.. Porter, of
this city, was alone severely affected. and
though confined to his room ever since, we be-
lieve he is out of danger Lancaster Express. 1o

The New CALCULATING MACHINE.-As an in
stance of the wonderful extent of the power of
the calculating machine called the arithmome-
ter perfected by d. Thomas of Colmar, after
thirty years labor, we now state that ii can fur
nish in few seconds products amounting to
999, ,999, ,999 ,999 ,999, ,999, ,999 9999, ,999 999.
A marvellous number, comparable to the in
finite multitude of stars which stud the firma-
ment, or the particles of dust which float in the
atmosphere. The working of this instrument
is, however, most simple. To raise or lower a
nutscrew, to turn a winch few times, and by
means of a button, to slide off metal plate
from right to left, or from left to right, is the
whole secret. Instead of simply reproducing
the operations of mans intelligence, the arith-
mometer relieves that intelligence from the ne
cessity of making the operations. Instead Of
repeating responses dictated to it, this instru-
ment instantaneously dictates the proper an
swer to the man who asks it a question. 1t
is not matter producing material effects, but
matter which thinks, reflects. reasons calcu-
lates, and executes all the most difficult and
complicated arithmetical operations with a ra-
pidity and infallibility which defies all the cal
culators in the world The arithmometer is,
moreover, a simple instrument, of very little
volume, and easily portable. 1t is already used
in many great financial establishments, where
great economy is realized by its employment
1t will soon be considered indispensable, and be
as generally used as clock, which was former
ly only to be seen in palaces, and is now in ev-

Considerable sensation has been created this
week by the reported death of a man in the pris-
ons of the Vicaria, and the public voice has adj
ded that he died from torture. | do not how
ever, put faith in the report. Be that as il may
he was the brother of q Salvatore di Simoni, a
spirit merchant in the Strada Pigna Secca,. and
was arrested together with him about the 9th or
10th of January. Two days after his arrest the
shop was closed The reason assigned for this
violence is, that suspicion attached to Dir. Sim
oni of having sold pipe of spirits wherein was
placed the body Of Milano, previous to its reno
val.
Whether the following story be true, or
whether ii has been invented to account for
what has hitherto appeared to be unaccounta-
ble, the assault upon the cafes and drinking
shops, cannot positively decide, still have
heard it in very high quarters. 1t is said, then,
that about twenty days since, a man habitcd as
sailor came down by one of the French steam
ers and had an audience with His Majesty
that this man was one of the French police, who
had been sent down by Count Walewski. in

other persons, and gallopcd Off Since that

Immediately after this event the razzia took
place which arrested the people en- masse with
out any assignable reason; and the fight of the
King to Cascrta, where he has remained under
the closest guard. At the time of the arrests it
was asserted that the Government was in pur-
suit of two or three suspicious persons but 1t is
only recently that the tale has assumed its
present form. The persons from whom it has
come to me are Of very high rank, and might
be supposed to know something of the truth

A SOUTHERN UNTyERsITY.--A vigorous move
ment is now being made in the Southern States,
originating, it is said, with Bishop Polk of Lou
isiana, for the establishment Of University
upon most liberal basis. 1t is proposed that
no actual steps in the expenditure Of money
shall be taken until the sum of five hundred
thousand dollars shall have been secured. 1t is
thought that at least million of dollars can
be obtained. The project has found favor in
eight of the Southern States.
