MR. SUMNER.

We are panied to learn, through the New
York Tribune Paris correspondent, that Sena
tor Sumner is not improving in health with any
degree or rapidity. The correspondent writes
"His physical sufferings have been constant
and rather increasing than diminishing since
last wrote. The moxa has not been admins
tered anew, but none of the wounds on the
neck and back left by the six first burniugs are
yet healed. These render every change of pos
ture difficult, slow walking very painful, and
the constantly irritating motion of carriage
nearly intolerable. The bed gives only a
cramped, lsbored repose, for the nature and
position of the 6re-wounds are such as to forbid
the poor privilege of tossing about under
penalty of fresh agony. This state of things
has lasted now for nearly six weeks. Mean.
while, however, the burns are slowly closing
over, and DR.. Brown.Sequard, who is in daily
attendance, does not propose to apply the moxa
again for the next two months.
Some new features in the Gaze have develop
ed, causing the patient intense new pains. 1t
is throwing but little light on them to say that
they are neuralgia, constructing and expressing
the chest as with torturing, deadly weight.
They have been considerably reduced by the
administration of hot baths and powerful in
ternal remedies. If rightly understand the
physician and his patient, these new pains are
to be regarded purely as an effect of sympathy
between the nerves in the region of the chest
and the great nervous central column-not as
an extension to that region of the malady of the
latter, nor as an independent local disease OF
those nerves.
"a few days since, man was discharged
cured, from enc of the Paris hospitals, whose
case bears complete likeness to, and therefore
presents the best hope for that of Mr.. Sumner
His injuries, received on the head, took effect
in the spine, by contrecoup or conclusion, 80 as
to absolutely paralyze both legs. AS said, he
has recently been discharged, cured; but this
was after treatment by fire, continued for thret
months.
sit is to be hoped that briefer trial vii
serve for Mr.. Sumner, but his friends May be
sure that he will not finch from the fiery or
deal, let it be ever 80 prolonged"
Sir Benjamin Brodie, perhaps the most EN-
inent medical authority in London, approves
fully the treatment adopted by DR.. BrownSe
Guard

The Wesleyan MethOdists are quite numerous,
and are gaining strength. Several years ago,
two Of their preachers were compelled to leave

had caused at least hundred families to leave

MR. FIELD.

1t is stated that this gentleman, who origin.
ated the project of the Atlantic Telegraph, has
lost his fortune-earned by life of industry
by his devotion for three or four years to the
plan of a cable under the Atlantic. The Tri6.
~ne of New York proposes under these circum-
stances that the people of this country give him
testimonial, after the English manner of re-
warding national benefactors. The Tribune
says:
at is now some four or FIVE years since Mr..
Field undertook the magnificent enterprise
which has rendered his name ilIustrious. 1t
had been previously some four or FIVE years in
the hands of a company which made very little
headwsy-had in fact accomplished little, and
were making no progress. That company
might by this time have Q chieved q connection
with Newfoundland, but we doubt it. Mr.. Field
at once addressed himself to some of our most
liberal capitalists, and induced four Of them to
unite with him in the III dertskipg. The mo-
ment the papers were signed, each of the five
drew his check for $40, 900, making up purse
of $4,000 to form the nest egg of the enter
prise. From that hour to the present, Mr.. Field
has given all his energies and means to the At.
lantic Telegraph. he frat visited Newfound
land, and obtained from its Government the ne
cessary concessions and privileges the next
step was to form telegraphic connection with
that island, across the boisterous Gulf of ST.
Lawrence then to secure the CO, operation Of
English capitalists; finally, the support of the
two Governments and now he was ready to
commence the great work of prepariEg three
thousand miles of cable, to be laid or lost be-
tween Newfoundland and Ireland. Step by step,
Mr.. Field has proceeded in his great enterprise,
ably seconded, of course, on both sides of the
ocean but he has been the undaunted, indie
fatigable, snimating master spirit of the work
on both continents, on the ocean, and from first
to last. And the civilized world will this time
take care that no plausible Americas shall de-
spoil the Columbus of ocean telegraphing of his
noble and hardly won honors."
1t is proposed, as Mr.. Field is poor man,
that snug sum be contributed by his admit
rers-enough to secure his family from want.
This is certainly as good an idea as to spend
thousands in firing cannon and illuminating
cities
