The Chamber Of Commerce held their regular
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. The prin-
cpal business transacted was discussion upon the
late annual report Of the Chamber, which had been
severely criticised by one of the daily papers. 1t
was agreed to refer the several parts back to the
contributors for revision and correction. A reso.
luton calling on the President of the United States
to take such steps would induce the British gov
ernment to erect lighthouses on the " Great Stir
rup," Little Isaac and Orange Gays, on the
British side of the Bahama Banks in order to OBJ
waite the immense loss of shipping in that vicinity
which occurs annually was adopted.
regular meeting of the New York Sanitary
Association was held at the Cooper Institute last
evening. The attendance of members was very
small in consequence of the summer fight to the
watering places. The Chairman stated that active
measures were in progress for the extension of sa
nltary projects, and no efforts would be wanting
lor the vigorous prosecution of the fall campaign
The subject Of sanitary reform would be pressed
on tie notice of the Legislature. Dr. Holiday
stated tnat he had in preparation table of NOR
taiity extending over fty-two years. from the year
ioo4, showing 4lGI000 deaths in fftytwo years,
l59,Ooo OF which were children under two.
and over 100000 children under or of
one year OF age. When printed the table
would be exceedingly interesting. The Chairman
made some remarks on the excessive mortality of
the city OF New York as compared with the cities
OF Providence, Philadelphia and Boston, and
thought that this fact was attributable to faulty
sanitary measures. The proportion of deaths in
New York was four times more than Providence
three and half times more than Philadelphia and
three times more than Boston. In Providence, as
in London, it was one in fifty; in New York it was
one in twenty seven. The utility Of public baths
was also discussed, and after propositions for the
furtherance Of the object were made discussion
| ensued, and the Board soon after adjourned.

THE amnes ~ and act of oblivion which Louis
Napoleon BIZ g extended to the political refugees
aud da fnts Of France-has been hailed with adj
mirati on f rom one end Of Europe to the other,
and I'LL send back grateful echo from the con-
fines ofF5ahara and the marshes of Cayenne.
L Everywhere the exiles were preparing to re-
tur to France, to that France which they came
SO near involving in fraternal strife and imbru.
e in fraternal blood. Eight years have exhi-
ited many changes there. 4 government con-
soiidated, society organized, the people prosper
ors, the national name brilliant with glory, have
taken the place Of the rule of denagogueism, a
society shaken to its foundations the people cla
I moring for work and bread, and the national
name by-word among the European Powers.
All this is the work Of one man, Of one sagacious
brain; and while he was carrying out his plans
