The Secretary of Foreign Affairs in view of the
correspondence and personal interviews with Mr.
Eames, our worthy representative, on the subject
OF the Aves Island reclamation by order of his Ex-
cellency Gen. Castro, has fully acknowledged the
justice of the claim.
For several years this question has been matter
OF controversy between the Governments of the two
countries, and recently the cause of a special mis-
sion to Washington. Its denial might have been
at some future time, the OF rupture between
the two countries. The question in itself involved
the delicate point of territorial right for Venezuela

has evidently proved that were in derelict that
the present administration have not been able to
oppose his conclusive demonstration of this fact

Yellow Fever. Other Diseases. Total

BY telegraph we learn that on Tueseay, August
10th the deaths from yellow fever were 35, and on
the llth, 45-which shows continued increase.
In speaking of the weekly report of August sth,
the Delta of the 10th inst. says:
1t will be seen that the deaths from yellow fever
for the week ending Sunday morning last, is Just
double that of the previous week. But then, it
must be remembered, that out of the one hundred
and forty only ten Americans died. and it is fair to
infer that most of the one hundred and thirty per-
sons of foreign birth, who victims to the dis
ease, were unaccimated. We are, therefore, safe
in saying that the fever is confined chiefly to per
accustomed to it, not only imprudently expose them
selves to the hot sun, but live in such an unfortu,
nate STYLE and in such unhealthy spots as to make
them peculiarly liable to summer diseases 1t is
rare to hear OF persons living in well ventilated

LIEBIG THE CHEMIST.

A correspondent of The Rural Ne,o Yorker gives
the following description of Liebig, the agriculur-
al chemist:
son the last day which | passed in Munich |
went to hear the world-renowned chemist, Liebig,
lecture. His laboratory and lecture room are in the
same house in which he resides When he entered the
lecture-room the students all rose to receive him.
and he acknowledged their attention by polite bow.
He wore a black dress-coat and white pantaloons.
Liebig is a fine intellectual-looking man, tall
though not broad; has irOn-gray hair which has fall
len off from his broad and projecting forehead; he
wears no beard. He lectures in a very conversa-
tional manner, part of the time sitting; makes MANY
gestures, and good ones, too. His face is expires.
sive. He is indeed good deal of an orator, and
perhaps the best popular lecturer in Germany
Liebig was fifty-six years old on the 18th of Nav
1857. He was born in Darmstadt, and at the aGe
of twenty-one made Professor at Giessen. Tn
1852 he came to Munich. Between the wears ls39
and 1856 he published one hundred and seventy sew
en- papers, many of which were very elaborate.
He is said to be proud and overbearing; he is how
ever, on the side ofProgress and heads the Reform
party in the University. heard an American gen
teman, who was well acquainted with him, express
this opinion: 81 don't know man whom little
iudicious damning would do as much good to as
Liebig. He is cross and tyrannical to his assis-
tants, and they do not deserve such treatment"
