Besides the much boasted provision made by her Legislature in one of tte earliest sersions, for the establichment of Harvard College at Newtown, now Cam- Dridge, she has ever since taken every pains to diffuse Maftelligence among all classes ‘and {n every quarter of the ancient Commonwealth—as ever wilness those favored seate of learning, Amherst and Williams colleges. Wor id she conte her labors for the increase of knowledge within the bounrarics of the present Commonwealth. Inag before the present State of Maine had any expecta. ‘ons of ever being other than a colony tributary to Mas- sechusetis, the latter State made a most generous donation of land, as was the custom of those days, to establish a eollege in the then district, to the end that no portion @f territory which fell under her jurisdiction should Jack the means or opportunities of education of the highest order. In 1794 the college was incorporated, which subse quently, in conrequence of = dopation of $3,000 by James Bowdoin, received the name of Bowdoin College, and the town of Brunswick was selected as the best location. ‘This town, which even at thatearly day was nearly as “Mhriving and proeperous as at the present time, is rftuated at the lower falisof the Androecoggin river, s river abounding In the wildest, moet romantic and pictaresquescenery, and ‘ab the head of tide water, about seven miles above its junc- Mon with the Kennebec, at “Meng Weeting po The falls have been despoiled of their natural force Le tons by numerous dams, erected to turn the abundant ‘water power into the rervice cf saw mills, grist mills, cot- ton factories, iron foundries and kindred menial ocsupe- tens. A substantial bridge, passing almost directly over the steepest part of the tall, connects Brunswick with Topsham- the two villages, from identity of pursuit aud proximity of iocation, almost forming one body politic and eommercial. As the southwest extremity of Branswick village, which Js situated on a level, muy »piain, may be seon the balld- {ngs and the ample free Bowdoin College, situated on a similar plane, but elevated 30 feet above the village. The \ bailt for the mutual accommoda téom of the town and the college, stands just on the brow ofthe declivity bh separates the two plains, It isa spacious gothic edifice, built about 1845, by Upjohn. tho eelebrated architect, and its handsome tapering spire is ‘visible in every direction for many miles.

The King’s retoro from Vienna has been delayed rather jonger than was expected, owing to @ sudden indisposition which he was eeized with on tne road, avd which com- pelied him to stop a day or two at Piiluitz, a chdleau be" longing to the King of Saxony, It was an attack of fever, probably brought on by heat and fatigue in hurrying from Tiplitz to Vienna ard back again, at the very height of an African summer. Crowned heads are always in a greater bustle than other their time being 60 much more va- luable (few of ‘bem have more than twenty-four leisure hours a day), and so they are continually on the move, hastening from post to pillar, and hardly allowing them selves 8 moment's respite from thelr wondrous feats of locomotion.

Fortunately for him, his physician, Dr. Schocalein, is oae of the clevorest practitions in Europe, and got him round again 60 soon that be was able to leave Pilluitz om Friday morning, and return to Sous revei the same evening. On 4sturday af crnoon the Empross Dowager of Russia arrived there with her son Micoael and hor future son io jaw. The Grand Duchess of Meckleaburg Schwerin, Prin coes Frederick of the Netherlauds, Prince Charies and Prince Albert of Prussia, had led her on the 1%h inas , the anniversary of the death of the ‘amented Queen Toulsa.

As to bis reported interview with Louis Napoleoa, nothing bas been published officially concerning it, but it is elated ponitively that the two auto- orate met incognito cn Tharaday near Carlsrahe, their conference having been ari by the Empe ror of Russia’s brother in-law, the Grand Dake of Hesse- Darmstadt. The disturbances in Italy, the result of the elections ip France, and the revolationary spirit which ie manifesting itself in various parts of Europe, are said to bave made a deop improseion on the mind of Lou's Napo Jeon, and rend¢ red bim anzicus to obtain the co operation of ble brother Emperor in case these movements should Roquire BUCH Gimensions aso call for deci#ive measures.

The following is an extract of a letter from Germany, tated Jaly 4, 1867 — You know my attachment to your great revublic. It originated in 1796, when I Janded from on board the Providence, in Fam Roads, The four years which rpent in your Atlantic States wore the happicet of my life, and the 9th of May, 1797, when I had the honor of dining at Mount Vernon with your Immortal Washington and his amiable lady, bas not slipped my memory doring the sixty yeare whion sine passed. When I left New York, in 1800, it ranked the fourth Professor this ET acd ‘8 result 80 peculiar as to remarkable events in the history of ba'looniog, gs as 4 ts with thrilling acventares. Tho inflation of tee bal. loom was com mes ced shortly after two o’cioni, from the mains which bad béen previousiy em; for that par- pose and had been allowed to remain sinca the previous eecension. Beveral trivial accidents and delays occurred, and the monster was not ready for ite serial ve yage auiil about six o’ciock. At this time the Professor slepved into the car, ancom by «lady of thie city, the restraining ballast +4 ascended, tne Professor bowing and to lady waving handkerchief to the crowd below, watt! 1 had reacned an alttude of thirty or forty feet, —e a le descend, the the combined weight readers abroad, it may be stated that the pout ia the enclosure from which the balloon was started is dis tant some two hundred feet from the North Baptist church. In and descending some thirty or forty feot of this was N ly, the crowd gatherec about the car, restraiping its ascent, and a par y who wished to go up with the Professor got isto the basket. Ana tempt was made to keep nim of}, and io the excitement upon oleariog the groind tho cond time tte attention of the aeronaut was distracted from the business on hand. Getting off agaio, he ascend- ed quite rapidly, bus was carried by the current of air upon which he struck as rapidly toward the onurcn spire. When his attention was turned the crowd, he found, to his astonishmert, that ho was within some twenty ‘eo of the church, and going toward It at s dapgerous rate of speed. To clear bimecif, be immediately grasped a bag of ballast and threw it outside, In descending, thie passed within some two feetof the head of a iady who ‘was looking out of the window of an adjoining baliding, made a clean hole through agrave arbor, aad broke a board ina back stoop by ite woight. After throwing out the baiast, the ballooniet ascended very fast, but \t soon became painfully agparent to the anxious crowd below that a collision with the church spire was inevitabie, This soon occurred. The balioor, which was then going at a rapid speed, came in contact with the jightning rod at ihe apex, with @ blow similar to that of a vearel surging at high’ rate of enced ayains: adock. The concues on was terrible. The Professor, who had antisipated ine shock, braced bisse fin the oar, 2nd anxiourly awaited the ro- gult, afer seaying to and fro an fastant, the balova cavght, apparentty, in a bolt connecting tne rod witn tho spire, and tore, with a8yund which wns distiuctiy beard from the earth. Tho revt was botwoen ten and twelvo feet in length, leaving @ monstrous apertare, through which: the gas rusbed will joond like that of the wind =A thrii} of horror ran through the crowd below, scnompynied by exclamations indica:iye of the general belie! that the dea'b of the wronaut was inevitable.

It then deecended rapidly again T» retard tbie momentum anoher beg of baliast was thrown ont, and the effect was to cause @ second ascension, The bal loon arose ##iftly and gracefully, as though the power which carrfed it up was not constantly being lost. if any thing could have allayed the anxiova exciternent of tho crowd, it would bave been the apparent indiference of the Professor to the terrible danger cf hia situation. When a! an gliitude of a thousand feet, be leaned forward {rou the car apo his hat to the crewd below.

After the spiro had been cleared, the crowd rushed forward franically— mev, women and children—anticipating that, at we forthest, the balloon would descend delow Hoosick street, and that the death of Mr. Marion was inevitable. They were happily disappointed, as we have seen. While the Professor was Cog | his disabled balloon, at least too thousead persons arrived ip tho neighborhood, who followed bim in a crowd down to the city. It was a scone of the wildest excitement, as it had been before of the ‘mont thrilling anxiety. New Patents Issued.
