Lieut., M a ury,

One OF the most creditable deeds perform
ed at the last session of the Virginia Legisia-
ture, was the passage of a jJnt resolution
recommending to the Federal Admiuistra-
ton, for extraordinary prom Ution in the ma.
val service, Lieut.. Matthew T. Maury, Of the
National Observatory. We trust tina. this
request Of Virginia will not be unheeded at
Washington. Lieut.. Maury has received
appropriate donors from almos: every coun-
try in the world, save his own. Kings aud
Emperors have We'd with each other in show
erIng distinctions upon his head, whilst a
Naval Reform Board of his own country did

publics are nngrateful." As the Petersburg

French Embassy.

The "getting up" of the new French en-
bassy to London, it is said, will exceed any
thing for brilliancy that has ever preceded 1t
in the history of diplomatic magnlfcence.--
The Dukes official carriage will surpass 10
beauty and cost that made for Marshal Sout
and the coronation of Queen Victoria. The
new minister's income is now as follows :
Annual salary as ambassador 100000 francs;
for installation, or what is called under our
old diplomatic law outfit" 10000 francs,
to support the title of the Duke of Malakcf,
10000 francs year; as Marshal OF France,
10000 francs; as Senator, 10000 francs; and
after these, several smaller Sums for the vari-
Gus decorations he wears. The total is about
$50 900 francs year, OF $4,000. As be

Kansas,

The Washington correspondent Of the
Richmond South says:--"There is scarcely
any ground to hope for the passage of the
Kansas bill, in any shape, during this ses-
sion, and of the consequent admission Of Kan.
sas as a State of the Union. There is moth
ing for the Southern States to regret in this
result. The Democratic Southern mem bers,
and all from the South except a few, voted
for the bill in its least Objectionable FORM
10 this they acted according to principle
and did their full duty-perhaps they yield
ed more than duty ADD right required. But
there is no present claim for doing more D.
Kansas will aud must be an anti-slavery State
within six months after being admitted even
under the Lecompton for pro-slavery) Con-
stitution. Thus the South has nothing to
gain and much to lose from the admission
of Kansas. This opinion should not operate
to bar her admission, if there was rightful
aud constitutional claim. But neither on the
necessary and important ground of having
the requisite population, nor any other just
ground. has Kansas rightful claim now to be
admitted as q State.

The Level OF the Great Lakes.

There is said to be mysterious rise and
fall Of the great level of the American lakes,
which has long occupied the attention Of
many scieoti6c men. La addition 10 the rari-
atoms which depend upon the changes of
seasons, there is also local, itful, Irregular
ocllatiOn OF few inches to d few feet, not
to be predicted, its period Of oscillation be-
ing from three to five minutes, and which
continues from one to twenty-tCur hours.--
In the course of several years observations
no wave has been seen over two feet in height
10 stormy weather, and in ca!m weather over
one and one-hslf feet. The average interv al
has been found to he four and one-halt mi =
utss. The waves invariably come in from the
open sea in line parallel with the shore. The
phenomenon has not yet been accounted tor;
but Mr.. Charles Whittlesey, of Cleveland,

The Late Legislature.

The Richmond correspondent of the Rock
ingham R@gi-ter W. q. Stevens, esq, late
member OF the Ii. Of d. says:
The regular session accomplished but lit
tie. The extra session, though of but thirty
one days duration, was productive of great
results. considering the surrounding circum-
stances.
During both sessions. five hundred and
thirty bills were passed, and about two hum
dred and fifty left upon the table.
The oyster bill failed to pass, not be-
cause there was not large majority 10 favor
of 1t, but because il is a subject little under
stood, and there was not sufficient time for
it, proper consideration. | doubt not that
at the next session tax IN sume shape will
be imposed on the bivalves, Notwithstanding
the violent opposition OF the tide water
people.
The tax bill which passed the House was
defeated IN the Senate, and, therefore, the
old tax bill Is still In force, and the taxes re-
main as they were last year. The new bill
made 30 material changes, only increasing
the taxes on brokers, foreign insurance COM
panies, distilleries, and some other subjects.
The Senate rejected it for want of time for
its proper consideration. The truth Is, that
under the new constitution, the time pre-
scribed for Legislation is too restricted. 1t
Is all i'd to say that the varied interests OF
tins great State can be properly legislated
for IN the short space of ninety days every
other year | never again expect TO be a
member Of the Virginia Legislature, and,
therefore, can speak On this subject With
out being suspected OF being actuated by In
terested motives, aud give it as my settled
opinion, based upon what little experience
have had in legislation, that the General As
sembly should hold annual sessions"

The Neutrality Case at Buffalo.

At the examination Of witnesses 10 the
case Of Thuriuger and zimmerman, arrested
for an alleged violation Of the neutrality
laws, the evidence taken pointed pretty COT
clusisely to the guilt Of the prisoners. The
Buffalo Advertiser says:
There appears to be no difficulty in estab-
fishing the charge against them, tut whether
they were authorized by the British Govern
ment or By British ofhcer, to obtain re,
crui,s. is quite another question. The denial
of toe British Consul that they are, places
them in q peculiar position, looking more
like a private speculation than anything
else"
1t is doubtful whether our neutrality laws
can be deemed violated by enllstins men
here, unless the men are enlisted for service
