Colossal Statue of Washington.—Mo
dels o( t|ie colossal Statue designed to sur
mount <he Monument of Washington, have
been exihifed for some days at the Athe-
namm, where they si ill remain. From
these, the Managers selected on Saturday
last, *bat presented bv Caus'd, of New
York, which mw»‘sses superior merit both
of design and execution. From a gent
man in whose judgement and taste we con
fide, we have received the following dis
cretion of it, with remarks on its design.
The model is cast in plaster, and is
half the size of the intended statue, which
is to be fifteen feet high —Washington is
represented in the act of resigning Iiis com
mission of Commander in Chief of Army,
into tbo hands of the President of Con
ors?,—an act of the deepest interest, which
has high moral grandeur, and ennobles
perhaps more than anv other, the character
of this most extraordinary of virtuous he
roes. Perhaps there is a particular nro-
prie v in selecting this passage of his life
for the present purpose, as the resignation
took place at lie seat of government of our
own state. The artist has exhibited much
talent and taste In the attitude and costume
of the figure.—Natural grace, eleganceand
dignity slene out >n every feature of the
face, and turn of the body. The counte
nance is expressive .of benignity, and of
that mild firmness which characterised the
man. The head is 'in manv respects or-
riginal, but evidently that of Washington.
I ft partakes of both Steuart’s and Peale’s
; W ashing'op, though it resembles neither
entirely.—Vhe artist had gone back to the
period when the act be represents was
was performed, and hence the dissimilari
ty to Sienart’s likeness, which was taken
at an earlier -period of Washington’s life.
Tt is certainly a better head for effect and
classic elegance.
The majestic port of the figure is set off
to advantage bvthe costume, which though
entirely modern, is so selected and arrang
ed to produce a classical effort. The
militarif cloak, whose ample folds furnish
abundant dr 'nery,' is a tine substitute for
the Grecian Robe, orjthe Roman T 1 og - *; in
deed, it is preferable to the latter, which
takes from the heght of the figure.—The
right arm, which presents the commission
is entirely disengaged from the cloak,
which, falling off ihe sh udders, displays
the apaulette and revolutionary uniform
worn by the general at the time,
left hand, carelessly thrown behind the fig
ure, is represented as having grasped the
things in this admirable world can be con
ceived more beautiful than a horse, when
ihc bloody spur lias thrust some anger in
his resentful side.—How splendid to view
him with his dilated nostril, his flaming
eye, his arched neck, and his waving tail,
rustling like a banner in a battle !—to see
him champing his slavered bridle, and
sprinkling the snow foam upon the earth,
which his hasty hoof seems ^almost as it it
scorned to touch !”
To give silc(r plate a lustre.—Dissolve
alum in a strong ley, scum it caretully,
then mix it with soap, and wash your
'! utensils with it, using a linen rag.

Charles A*.—The mad and miserable
scheme for destroying the liberty of the
Press, in France lias, as our readers know,
entirely failed. Thus Mons. Peyronnet
has achieved for himself all the credit of
wishing to do an absurd and despotic thing,
without obtaining a single one oi its advan
tages. Amongst the lloating rumours of
the town, Charles X is reported to have
said that he means to act ot his own au
thority against the printers “ I am deter
mined',” "he added, “ to save the souls of
mv subjects.” He had better take care
of his own head. When it was asked of
a statesman by some of the Royal Family
what it would cost to exclude the people
from Hyde Park, and make it exclusively
a royal demesne, the answer was, “ only
a crown." I (Charles X. puts his asser
tion in execution, lie will not get oft much
more cheaply. Kings, now-a-days, should
not be too fond ot tossing up crowns.-

T HIS Medicine has acquired a very extend
ed and established celebrity both in Hos
pital and Private practice, which its efficacy alone
has supported for these seven years past.
As a spring or fall purifier it has given new
constitutions to thousands, it is by its operation
on the Blood that such surprising cures have been
performed in numerous diseases.
The effect of this medicine is such as not to in
terrupt either business or pleasure, and requires
onlv the common restraint of moderation in diet.
It is conveyed by the circulating Uuids, and cor
rects their tendencies to all those diseases which
originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de
praved appetite. It is a sate medicine, and re
moves all those evils which an unsuccessful use
of mercury so often occasions. No one, how
ever is advised to take it without First fully con
vincing Itiinself of the truth of what is heie stated
and the rectitude ol ihe Proprietor s intentions.

“ The gallant General had been for
some time under a cloud, the principal
cause of which is stated to have been his
rough and unpliant temper. The third
division had always been called par excel
lence-. 1 the fighting divsion,’ .being ever-
foremost where danger was the greatest.
During, the late advance, however, they
had been saddled with the scaling ladders,
and otlier necessary lumber of the army,
and this had greatly annoyed Picton, and
contributed to produce still greater ebu-
litions of temper, which it would have
been more prudent in him to have re
strained. 'Op the March, head quarter’s
baggage has the privilege of continuing its
rout, without turning aside to allow any
troops to pass it. One day Picton over
taking it with bis division, ordered it ofl
the road until he Ind marched by. A part
complied, hut Lord Wellington's
butler refused to obey,pleading head quar
ter privilege. Unon this, it is said, that
Picton struck him with the umbrella
which he usually carried to defend his
eves, which were weak, from the sun, and
accompanied his castigation with a threat
of having him tied up and flogged bv the , 1)e _
provost-martial, if he did not immediate
ly givp wav to the division. In the bat
tle of Vittoria, Picton did not think that
such a post was assigned to his troops as
their oft-tried valor seamed to challenge.
An Aid-de-camp of Lord Wellington
riding up to him shor’lv after the engage
ment had begun, and abont the time Lord
Dalhoesie was expected to debouche, in
quired of the General, ‘ whether he had
seen his Lordship?’ Picton’svoice was
never verv musical, and on this occasion
i' was absolutely hoarse. ‘No, sir,’was
the reply, I have not seen him—bultjave
vouany orders forme, sir?’ ‘ None,’ said
the aid-de-camp. ‘Then pray, sir, what
are the orders vou bring?’‘That, as soon
as Lord Daliiousie shall commence an
attack upon that bridge, the fourtli and
T*h'e s * xt ^ ^Kisions are to support him.’ Pic-
1 ton, drawing himself up and putting liis
arms a-kimbo, then said, ‘ You may tell
Lord Wellington ‘from me, Sir, that
the third division^ under my command,
shall, in less than ten minutes, attack the
bridge apd carry it, and the fourth and
sixth divisions may support,if they choose!’
Upon this the gallant General mounted
his horse, and putting himself at the head
of his troops, waved his hat, and led them
on {o the charge with the bland compella-
tions of* Come on, ye rascals! come on,
3 - e fighting villains !’ The bridge was
carried in a few minutes. These partic

The Vegetable - Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana
cea, prepared by Mr Swaim, of Philadelphia,
has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price,
from the United States of America, where it is
now extensively used in the treatment of a varie
ty of Chronic Diseases.
Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr- Price
has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence,
din ing' a course of experiments made under his
direction, whilst -Surgeon of the Pennsylvania
Hospital; and since his arrival in England, he
has had the good fortune of witnessing manv ad
ditional instances ofits successful administration.
The diseases in which this Medicine has been
paiticularly useful, are those_ arising from con
stitutional causes—as in the various fonns of
Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or
soft parts ; and in cases, where a disposition to
this disease is manifested by debility only, it
operates as a preventive to the local disease bv
its beneficial effects on the constitution. It is
equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in
the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately
been gi*'en with marked success in chronic dis
eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful
exhibition of mercury It has, likewise, very re
cently been administered with decided advant
age by one of the most distinguished Surgeons in
London, in a case which had entirely destroyed
the right eye of the patient, and a great portion
of the side of the face. 1VM. PRICE, M. D.

Extraordinary Escape.—On the 17th
inst. while the “ Canada Floating Df.ck”
was about to be launched from a ship
yard in Montreal, a person named Tho
mas Dow, a ship carpenter, who was be
tween the vessel and the water in the act
of leaving the ways, perceived that the
vessel would come too close to permit
himto^pass.—As the only alternative, he
ran with all possible spead to the river,
and dived into the water before he was
overtaken. When the vessel was safely
launched and it was believeithat the man
must have been crushed beneath her, he
made his appearance on the top of the
water, 50 yards from the shore, which dis
tance he had been driven by the force with
which the vessel moved the water. When
taken up he exhibited no marks of injury
further than the wetting he had received
and having the top of his head thoroughly
greased by the vessel’s bottom pressing
against it while in the water. He was so
little discomposed by it, that for a trifling
