The Great and important events-Religious Politi-
cal and Military-now agitating the nations OF the
Old World, give to these Publications interest and
value they never before possessed. They occupy
middle ground between the hastily written news
items crude speculations, and flying rumors of the
newspaper and the ponderous Tome of the historian,
written long after the living interest in the facts he
records shall have passed away
These Periodicals ably represent the three great
political parties of Great Britain-Whig, Tory, and
Radica-but politics forms only one feature of their
character. AS Organs of the most profound writer's
Science, Literature, Morality and Religion, they
stand, they ever have stood, unrivalled in the
world of letters being considered indispensable to
the scholar and the professional man. while to the in
telligent reader of every class they furnish more
correct and satisfactory record of the current tera
ture of the day, throughout the world that can be
possibly obtained from any other source.

Experience shows that infection fingers among
the stores, clothing, bedding and furniture of
any vessel which has had the yellow fever on
board, and that il spreads from subsequent con-
tact with fabrics containing wool and cotton,
az well as from decsying animal and vegets
bic substances generally. The handling Of
these will endsneer the valuable lives of all
engaged In the work, and the removal aud
storage OF these substances at the Quarantine

call upon our authorities to interfere 81 once;
the danger IL imminent. This vessel should be

If she is stripped ard overhauled the govern

LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE NICARAGUA CANAL
The French government has denied IN the
most express terms that it has any connection
or sympathy in any way, public or private,
with Mons Belly and the French speculators
in Nicaragua Transit and Canal grants. We
suspect it will be found eventually that the
position of Louis Napoleon toward the Ncarar
qua canal plans of Mons. Belly is precisely the
same as that he holds towards Mons. Lesseps
and the Suez canal projects. he believes that
both would be advantageous to the world, but
is not disposed to make the construction Of
either a political question. In politics he is
just now engaged with far higher objects, and
in public works he thinks his attention has
sufficient employment in France, where he is
still carrying out grand schemes. AS for Mons.
Belly, he, no doubt, has pursued the same
course as that followed by Vanderbilt, Nor
gan, Rowland, Aspinwall and others, who
always pretend, in their Istbmus intrgues, to
possess the confidence Of our government aud
to be acting in accordance with it, when the
government knows nothing about what they
are doing. So with Mons. Belly; he has, no
doubt, pretended to possess the confidence of
the Emperor, in order to gull such fats as
Mora, Martinez and Rivas, and he has succeed
ed completely.
