Death OF MRS. POLK.

1t gives us pain to record the death of Mrs.
Polk, widow Of the late TT. Rev. Leonidas Polk,
for many years the Episcopal Bishop Of Louis
lana. The deceased was lady of rare menta
culture, Of great force of character and refine
ment Of feeling.
Though remarkably modest and unpretending,
there was no lady who surpassed her in inteli-
sence, cultivation and those qualities of head
and heart that go to form the character of a per-
feet woman. Her noble husband fully realized
her worth, and always paid the highest respect
to her judgment and attainments.
The loss Of Mrs. Polk will be severely felt in
this city, where she was universally beloved and
respected.
Society has lost most valued member, and
her children most devoted parent. The family
have our sincere and heartfelt sympathies in their
bereavement.
The funeral will take place at Christ Church,
Canal sire 1t, Monday morning. at 10 O'Clock.

It will be observed that there are several i'm
portant committees yet to be appointed, among
which is the Committee Elections and Quail.
fications. There will at an early day be move
to put out those four men occupying seats Of
Democratic members OF the House, and it is
probable that the matter will be referred to the
Committee ON Elections and Qualifications, and
certainly, the committee, on whose report the
four men were seated, should not again pass upon
the case.
Then there is the Committee on Enrolment.
That is another important committee, and there
should be new appointed. 1t Is the en-
rolled bills that go to Kellogg for his signature.
and that to great extent is what was the matter
with the General appropriation B II.
The appointments Of Speaker Estilette on these
committees will be looked for with some interest.

The Emperor of Brazil-who, it is now
said, does not intend to abdicate-has re-
Gently been elected a member of the French
Academy of Sciences, in the place Of the late
Admiral Wrangel Dom Pedro II is one OF
the most Guilty tied men OF the period, and no
reigning monarch has done SO much to de-
velop scientific instruction in his own do
mirions pupil of Agassiz, the first use he
made of his power when he assembled the
throne was to supply that illustrious natural
list with ample means for prosecuting his
researches in the natural history Of America.
Numerous special schools, laboratories and
observatories have been endowed by him, and
the distinction just bestowed upon him by
the French sara,es is a fully deserved one.
Dom Pedro II is not the first monarch who
has received the compliment OF an election
to the French Institute One hundred years
ago Peter the Great was similarly honcred,
and in our own time Gen. Bonaparte, on bis
return from his first Italian campaign, was
elected to membership in thu sectio" az
Daecanigus. With characteristic initiative
ness, his hapless nephew, Napoleon II, was
also ambitious of obtaining the Fame dst:nc-
ton, and it was proposed by some members
CT the Academy to create section OF arti'-
lery" in order to admit him on the strength
of book he once published on thai branch
of the military arr. After debating the point
in $ cret session, The Academy Of Sciences
refused to adop. the proposition, and the flu
