ted this morning and ordered to be primed.
The House ordered the printing of :5,000
copies, extra, o! Dromgoole's Report in favor ot

print any copies of the minority upon the Sub
treasury or tariff!
Ten thousand extra copies ot the Report or

[This is sheer robbery ot the public Treasury J
Mr. Dromgoole, Chairman ot the St !ect Com
mittee, to whom was referred the resolutions ot
the Legit! tures of Virginia an-.! Alabama, re
plying to the Mas- achUselts resolutions, asking
an amendment ot the Constitution, asked leave
to report. The subject came rather unexpected
ly before the House.
Mr. Dromgoole said the * ommi’lee had made
a ven- briet Report concluding with two Resolu
tions. They had carefully avoided any refer
ence to exciting topics and omitted every thing
which would be likely to give umbrage to any
body.
The Resolutions were read, tieclaring briefly
that the articles i,t the Coti-litmion which ittias
proposed to amend (relating to Direct Tax .lion
and Slave Re raesentati on,) wen- < ci
upon a principle of and in a split of until..;
compromises, wlii :h oughttobe held sacred by
thefriends of the Union.
They declared see..: dly, that the reposition
asked by the Legislature of Massachusetts
ought not to be recommended by Congress, and
ought to be promptly and decidedly condemned.
Mr. Dromgoole, as soon as ti.e Res •■.titions
were read moved the Previous Question.
Mr. Adams rose,
The Speaker said that the question was not
debateable.
Mr. Adams said he did nut propose to •' bate
it. He rose to ask the gentleman to witiicruw
the Previous Que-iion, and to un-veibat hi- re
port be referred to the Committee ot ti.e Whole.
Mr. Abbott of Mass; (a member of the >:•]<el
Committee ot which Mr. Dtoingeole wn-Chair
man,) said he would like to know how it was
that he had not been summoned to attend the
session of the Committee. The present: tion ot
the Report just now was the first intimation that
he had had that the Select Committee had tttt.cn
action upon the subject.
Mr. Dromgoole said that he had issued a no
tice to the members ot the Committee and that
he had placed it in the bands of one of the pages
of the House, ’t he notice to serve bad been
taken to all the
The gentlemen from Masst.ehnsetts was nrrt
notified because hew. s not present. Mr. Bren
gle ofMd. and Mr. Strongol N. Y,. ether mem
bers of the Committee, were repotted as at
home. The majority of the Committee met in
room of the Committee f Ways and Means
and agreed upon their Report.
Mr. Winthrop moved n. call of the House
upon the Resolutions. The House refused.
The Report of Mr. Dromgoole, which coveted
but ?. few lines, was then read.
The Committee say they have maturely con
sidered the subjec.—’hat they regard it as a
dcsignr to dissolve the Union—that tin- amend
ment p ayer for would produce -a peaceable or
violent dissolution—that all efforts to procure
such an amendment as is asked ought to.be
rebuked.
The report having been read, Mr. Av intbrop
demanded the yeas nays upon ordering the main
question. The Vote v. ts,a? es 1 IS. na; s ro.
Mr. Parmenter of Mars, thought th. - question
too important to be disposed ot so summarily,
and moved to lay the subject upon the table.
The motion was rejected. Ayr - 13, noes 132.
The Speakei here announced that the morn
ing hour had expired.
Mr. Dromgoole moved to suspend the rules,
in order to dispose <d'the subject at this time.
The first Resolution was then adopted by a
vote of 158 to 18
Mr. Hunt called for a division of the ques
tion upon the second Resolution so that a
separate vote should be taken, first up-on the
clause that Congress ought net to recommend
such a proposition.
The Speaker decided that such a division
could not be made
The second Resolution was then adopted,

10th legislative days of April be set mart lor
the business of the District ol Columbia, unlc-s
the same be sooner disposed of.
Mr. Cave Johnson objected.
Mr. Campbell entreated gentlemen no! to op
pose this reasonable request. The ili-tfct 1.:,s
no representative and ought to be dealt lil.eialiy
with. The objections were insisted on, am.
Mr. C. asked for the yeas and nays.
A motion was made to, lay' the resolution on
the table, and this was rejected by 101 to 44.
Mr. Steenrodthen moved to amend the reso
lution by limiting the number of days to two.
Mr. Holmes protested. This district had al
ways been the scene of all sortsof experiments.
The fundamental law was tobe settled this ses
sion, and all sortsof radical projects were in
agitationto be introduced into the charter.
Some one moved the previous question,
which was second's l —but notwithstanding the
large majority in favor of the district interests,
the majority contrived, by multi plying questions
of order, &c. to exhaust the morning hour, and
the subject was passed by.
The remainder of the sitting was devoted to
the consideration of private bills.
Melancholy.—We regret to leant that Mr
William Adams, vho has been residing to:
some time past with Captain Newell, at Mont
gomery, in this county, was found in the w< od ■
dead, a short distance from bis residence, on
Friday. He left home that mornin.-, on a
gunning excursion, and being longer al»c:;t
than w»s expected, search was made for him.
From the condition in which he was fonnd,
there is no doubt that he came to his death I y
the accidental discharge of his loin ing pi. v-
His side was shockingly mangled, an. i one
his hands badly shattered. The ground ar mud
him appeared as it he had made efl -t.s to craw
or raise himself after receiving ti.e la'al v. ound.

TWENTY-THREE DAYS LATER.
The British steamship Caledonia arrived
yesterday morning, about half past lOo’clocw,
from Liverpool, having left that port 12 o’clock,
March 5, with 51 passengers. She reached
Halifax, March 20, at half past 6 o’clock, and
landed 10 passengers, took on board 16 more for
Boston, and left Halifax at 1 o’clock, P. M.
Our Loudon and Liverpool dates are to the

of the whole House on the .state ot Ireland,

Cotton was selling at Liverpool at the latest
dales at the same prices as those current pre

Fire in Manchester.— lt is stated that a most

seven story buildings was in flames. The ware
houses of Amschel, Tobler & Co. were also de
stroyed, and the silk warehouses of Francis
Makin & Co., and Joshua Le Mare & Sons,
were considerably injured. The amount of pro
uerty destroyed is believed to be morethan £IOO,-
000.
From the Liverpool European Times, March 4.
State of Trade.—During the last week,
not less than three New York packets have ar
rived, bringing advices from that city to the 16th
ult. The state of the cotton market, in the va
rious parts of the Union, has been watched with
;tlynx-eyed curiosity by the commercial world
here. On this side, the “short croppists’’ have
recently showed symptoms of d:awing in their
horns, which may be attributed to two causes —
first, the recent accounts show that the estimate
of 1,800,009 bales for the present year’s crop
will be tolerably near the mark, which, with the
stock now on hand in Liverpool and elsewhere,
exceeds, by nearly 200,000 bales, the stock ol
the corresponding period last year.
This fact alone staggers specalatoys, as show
ing, that with the ordinary weekly consumption,
there can be no apprehension of deficiency un
ti*tbe crop of next year comes in. Secondly,
that the Manchester spinners are determined to
prevent prices from seriously rising, by merely
buying what is necessary to keep their mills go
ing—living, as the phrase is, from hand to
mouth—and that, rather than payan ex ravagant
price for the staple, which the smallnessoftheir
profits, they allege, will not permit them to do,
it would be better tor them to wotk a short time,
or even to give over working altogether, than to
work at a loss, produced by the dearness of the
raw material.
The contest is one be'ween the importers and
holders of cotton and the manufacturers. The
organization among the latter is compact, and
appears to be almost impregnable ; and it is
clear, from the comparatively quiet tone of this
market during the last week, that to one or the
other of the causes at which we have glanced—
perhaps both combined—may be attributed the
absence of that excitement which would other
wise have followed the recent accounts from N.
York. Certain it is, that though live days have
elapsed since the arrival ot the George Wash
ington, and two business days [Sunday has in
tervened] since the United States came in. t: ere
has been no activity at all corresponding with
the fever which raged in the New York market
when those ships left.
There is a mural tn all this, it the speculators
and “short croppists” can find it out, for it seems
ciear that the spinners have very shrewd no
tions on the subject. On the first instant, the
stock of cotton in Liverpool was 624,720ba1es
avainst 443,500 bales at the same time in 1843
giving a balance of the present year over the
iast of 181,220 bales. The average weekly con
sumption this year is 25,330 ; last year it was
25,200 bales—so that the difference is merely
nominal.
There wasa great lack of activity inourmar
ket yesterday. Speculators stood quite aloof.—
The trade purchased merely 3000 t ales, and pri
ces, though not decidedly lower, had a larther
tendency to droop.
Bradford.—The demand for goods at this
market on Thursday, was as large as for some
time past, and the transactions were considera
ble when something near late prices could be ac
ceded to ; but although the merchants did, in
some instances, give rather better prices, there
was an evident disposition on their part to check
the upward tendency of prices by buying only
for immediate wants. Yarns were in request,
and as there are no stocks in the market, arid,
scarcely any coming forward, [nearly all the
spinners being employed on orders,] late rates
were fully maintained. Notwithstanding, there
was a good business done tor shipment. The
transactions in the wool market were not quite
so animated as ot late, but the staplers heldfirm
ly for Late rates.
Puljlic Income and Expense of England.— A re
turn has just been laid before Parliament, on
the motion ot Mr. Baring, of the net public in
come ot the United Kingdom, with an amount
of the balances remaining in ihe Exchequer on
the sth day of January, 1843 and 1844. The
total amount of revenue for the year ending
January 5, 1844, derived from direct and indi
r-'cttaxes, was £51,069,987 7s ; and from other
receipts, £l,sl2,B39,—making altogether £52,-
582,817. 10-. 2d.
Ol the latter sum the money received from
China forms the principal item, and amounts
to £1,315,209 Is. 6d. The total of the
funded debt is £28,581,076 4s. 2d.; tor the army,
£5.997,156; tbe navy, £6,606,056; and the ordi
nance, £1,910,701. ’ The balance in the Ex
chequer on the sth day of January, 1843, was
£1,390,059, and (thanks to the inco me tax) at
the same period 1841, it amounted to £1,771,-
601 Is. l(d.
We learn, on v’hat wc consider good authority,
that the Duke of Wellington is deterr ined that
Mr. O’Conmll shall not be sent to prison, be
lieving that the moral effect of a conviction
will lie sufficient, and that punishment would be
a useless pieceot severity.— Northern. Whig.
Extensive Failure at Liverpool. — Almost the
only subject of conversation on Change yester
day, was the suspension ol piti’ineuts by a gen
tleman ul.nowii in Li'.eipiiui, and connected
with some ol the first families in this place, who,
after losing a most handsome fortune by specula
tion in shares, is still deficient, it is said, to the
extent of nearly £IOO,OOO. This failure has
produced a great sensation in the Liverpool

The news that the French had taken posses
sion of Tahiti and compelled Queen Pomare
to place herself under their protection —the in
stallation of a new Governor—the hoisting of
the French and the lowering of the English
flag—and other doings, had reached England,
and excited considerable surprise as well as ot
indignation. The subject was alluded to in the
House of Commons, when Sir Robert Peel ex
pressed his hope and belief that the proceedings
had been done without the consent or even the
knowledge of the French Government; and in
deed the whole proceedings have been formally
repudiated by Louis Phillippe and his cabinet.

Thouars, in deposing Queen Pomare, of the
Society Islands, and liasdirected the sovereign
ty to be restored to her, the French retaining on
ly the protectorate, as established by the treaty
of September, 1842.
Ti.e opposition in the French Chamber of
s made a vigorous effort to overthrow
the Minisir,'on account of the disapproval of
the nch Admiral’s proceedings—taking the
- . .of course, that Queen Pomare had
fre.. s.lsnulaud by ti.e English to contravene
the treaty oi 1842, and that ihe reversal of the
Admiral’s doings was decreed through tear of
England. M. Ducos, one of the Deputies, offer
ed a resolution disapproving the conduct of the
Ministry. M. Guizot accepted the challenge
manfully, declaring that it the resolution should
be adopted the Ministers would resign ; and the
Chamber sustained him by rejecting tbe resolu
tion, 233 voting against it, and 187 in its favor.
The following is the report of Rear-Admiral
DupetitThouars,dated Bay of Papaiti, Tahiti,
November 9, 1813:
“On my arrival here, on the Ist, I forwarded
to Queen Pomare the ratification of the treaty
oi the 9th ot September, 1842. On the 3d, ha
ving ascertained that the. Queen, being ill
advised, continued to hoist a flag which she
said had been sent to her by the Queen ol En
gland, and feeling that 1 could not tolerate any
longersuchan insulting act-for our national
consideration, wishing, moreover, to put a pe
riod to her inconsistency, I adopted, agreeably
to our rights of sovereignty, the resolution,
which 1 communicated to her, of hoisting the
French flag in succession on all the places of
deience and protection oftlie Society Islands.
“ Dcpetit Thouars.”
The French papers say that Lord Cowley has
promised the recall ol Mr. Pritchard, the British
missionary-merchant-consul in Tahiti, as a
balance of concession to set the French Ministers
right before the Chambers.
A corvette ha 1 been despatched with an or

Trade to China and the East.— The great in
crease ofottr trade with China, the East Indies,
and our eastern colonies, is shown by the fact
that there are laying in the various London
Docks above 80 vessels, the united burden of
which amounts to nearly 50,000 tons, and
which are»rn course of preparation for forward
ing goods to the above destinations.
We learn that at the last Fairtax Court, the
Grana Jury found bills of indictment against
May, Pooler, and Ashe, the parties concerned
in the late duel fought in that Connty, an i the
necessary orders of Court were made, prelimi
nary to a demand by the Governor of Virginia
on the Governor of Maryland for the delivery
of Pooler, who is tow in jail tn Baltimore, and
for the others] wherever found.— Alex. G icdt-:.
Late from Oregon.—At lite meeting of the
Botrd ofM«natters of the Missionary Society
oftlie Methddist Episcopal Church, held at
New York on Wednesday evening, March 20,
late and interesting communications were re
ceived front the Rev. Jason Lee, the superin
tendent of the Oregon mission. The dates are
to the 28th October, and came via Pensacola.
'.I hree detachments ol emigrants from the
Western section of the United States had arriv
ed at the Columbia river, some of whom had
suffered sever ely by sickness and want of pro
visions. One man in the last detachment had
died on the way, and his widow and four chil
dren had arrived at the mission station on the
Wifiiamette.
The emigrants, on their arrival at the Wil
liamette Valley, expressed their surprise at
finding the religious state ol the inhabitants so
much better than they expected to find it. Ma
ny ot them, after their arrival, had attended the
ministry of the missionaries and had even giv
en evidence of a desire to change their mode of
life. Some had joined the Church on proba
tion, and it was evident that their example had
its effect on many others.
The Rev. Dr. Whitman, belonging to the
American Board of Missions, who recently
visited the United States, had returned to his
charge on the Columbia in good health.
An excellent state of Christian fellowship
pervaded the entire family ot the Methodist
mission, and the prospects of its success were
never before so flattering. They have suffered
both by sickness and death, but when these let
ters were despatched, Mr. Lee says, those who
had been sick were recovering. Mr. Brewer
is spoken of as having been dangerously ill.
The Rev. Mr. Perkins had been assaulted by
one of the Indians from the interior. The
chiefs had assembled in council, assisted by
Dr. White, the United States agent, and deter
mined that the Indian should be publiclj - whip
ped, and he received twenty-five lashes. Mr.
Perkins interceded for the prisoner, and was
anxious that he should be pardoned, but it was
thought that prudence required an example.—

Burglary and Robbery at Niagara.—Tne e
was adesperate burglary committed at Niaga. u ,
in Canada, on Saturday night, March 16th.—
Between nine and ten o’clock that evening three
men disguised with masks or crape on their
laces forcibly entered the house of a clergyman,
whose name we have not learned, about a mile
from the town ol Niagara, and robbed it ol two
valuable gold watches and a case containing
money. There were no personsin the house at
the time except the houskeept r, a man servant
and two children. The man stood perfectly
still, completely cowed by the threats of the
robbers, butthehousekeepei with her tongue and
hands made a stout resistance.
One of the robbers presented a pistol at her
head, but it missed fire, when he struck her with
it so violently as to break the stock. Uponthis,
the lady instead of yielding, attacked in her turn,
and clinched her assailant. Both came to the
floor together, and in the struggle she bit one of
his lingers severely, and tore offhis mask. He
finally extricated himself and made off with his
associates. The money case they dropped in
the haste of their retreat. On Monday a young
man named McCormick, of highly respectable
connections, was arrested in Niagara and iden
tified by the house-keeper, by the wound on his
finger as one of the robbers.
On Wednesday one Tanner, a man of no
toriously infamous character, formerly a resident
of this city, was arrested at Youngstown, on
suspicion. The police are now on the track of
the third, whose name we withhold tor the pre
sent.
P. S. Just before going to press we learned
that the third suspected person, named McDou
gall, had been arrested in this city, and taken
across the river.— Bus. Com. Adv.
Tne Frigate Potomac.—The Norfolk pa
pers contain a letter from the frigate Potomac,
the flag ship of the Home Squadron nowcruis
irig in the West Indies, which states that the
officers and crew are all well. The Potomac
sailed on the 22d ult. from St. Thomas for the
Spanish Main.
An Editor in Trouble.—The editor of the
Frcderickston(N B) Loyalist has been arrested
and thrown into jail by order of the Provincial
House of Assembly, for commenting with some
severity upon the action cf that body.
A Panic in the Army.—A panic, equal to
that which spread among Napoleon’s Imperial
Guards at Waterloo, seized the battalion of Fu
sileer Guards, stationed in Winchester, on Sun
day, the consequences oi which were, fortunate
ly, more ludicrous than injurious. It seems
that they were attending divine service in the
lobby of the county hall, “their custom always
in tbe afternoon,” and the chaplain had just de
livered his text —“Why stand we in jeopardy
every hour ?” when a door leading from the
vaults under the Crown Court suddenly opened,
with a violence that prostrated u tall sergeant
standing near it, and a form covered with dust
and soot, and quite as appalling to the military
congregation as that which “drew Priam’s cur
tain in the dead ol night,” stood before them,
bellowing as well as fright and Bshcs would al
low him, “Cut lor your lives, cut for your
lives!” At these appalling words, and on look
ing on the spectre who uttered them, a universal
panic seized officers, non-commissioned officers,
and privates. Sauve ipiipuet became tbe order
ot the day, and a most tremendous rush was
made to the only outlet to the place. All dis
tinctions of rank and subordination were for the
time lost, and officers were overturned andtrarn
pled on with as little consideration as drummer
boys. The fright was fully participated in by
the Rev. chaplain himself, who threw offhis
surplice, jumped over the front of the pulpit into
the hall, and fought his way to the door with a
vigor that showed his apprehensions to be equal
to those ot his congregation. Fortunately all
gained the outside of the door without loss of
life or limb, the only injury sustained being
some few bruises and torn regimentals. It ap
peared the hubbub was caused by some trifling
derangement ot the hot waler apparatus that
warms the building, and which was caused by
the inattention of the attendant, the spectre,
whose sudden appearance and ominons warn
ing we have alluacd to. — Hampshire (,Eng.~) In

“Taking the Lot.”—“What will you take
for dinner ?” said one of the waiters at the St.
Charles to a chap who had recently “come
down,” at the same time handing him abillcf
fare from which to make a selection.
“ 1 don’t know,” replied the stranger, running
his eye down the bill and soon lost amid irican
deaus, co'elettes. ragouts, French “cake shows”
and matters of which he had not the most remote
idea: “As it’s hard choosin’ here I believe I’ll
take the lot!”
So says the Picayune.
Daguerreotype Likenesses and Strabis
mus,— Taking up a wrong Idea.— The business
of taking Daguerreotype likenesses, it would
seem, is not so well understood in some of the
backwoods settlements as it might be. An
epistle, something like the followingwas receiv
ed a few days since by a commission merchant
of this city, which we pub’ish to prove our as
sertion. It is rather rich:

Dagrytype likenesses in your town —I may not
have spelt Dagrytype right, as I’ve never seen
Jtitn—l wish you’d have mine taken and sent up
"by the first boat, along with the tea, sugar and
coffee. As to the attitude and dress, yon can
tell tne man to consult his own taste, only I
want it fashionably. I do up my hair—
kianjfurc 1 believe the French women call it—
same as 1 did when you last saw me.
Respectfully yours,
Eunice Pettingill.
P. S. If they come any cheaper by the lot,
you can have one taken for my eldest son, Elias,
at th? same time, lie is now in his filth year,
and has grown a good deal since you saw him ;
so allowance must be made. I sometimes think,
a ter looking at l:itn a for qE'ongtiine steady,
that he has a slight squint in%is tight eye, and
one oi my neighbors says that he has invented
away ot” strabismiseing, or something of the
kind, for these things. Should the Dagrytype
man understand any thing about it you will
please ask him to set Elias’s eye right while he
is at work upon his face.
Yours, E. P.
What will they send for next? We hope
that Elias’s eye may be set right, and that the
likeness of Mrs. Pettingill may turn out a good
one.

A May or turned into a Chimney Pot.—ln
the preliminary hearing of a nuisance case be
fore Mayor Scott, of Philadelphia, on Monday
morning, a female witness thus described the
situation ot a smoky chimney—the nuisance
complained of: “ This (said she, pointing to
the dock) is my house, and that (directing her
finger to the other side of the office) is the defen
dant’s premises. Here (slapping her hand on
the witness box) is the shed, and your Honor’s

the Mayor, and excepting only the witness, were
convulsed with laughter.

the parish priest, and told him with a long face,
that he had seen a ghost. “ When ard where ?”
“ I was passing by the church, and up against
the wall of it, did I behold thespectre.” In what
shape did it appear?” asked the priest.” “It

Major Wright and Cel. Carroll, the friends of
those gentlemen.
Ist. In the two first notes between the parties
there is no material departure from the usual
form of such communications. The style ot
the third note, (Mr. A.’s. 18lh Dec., 1843,) be
ing objectionable in tbe existingre.ation ol the
parties, that note should be considered as with
drawn, and thereupon all the subsequent notes
and publications ot both parties should likewise
be considered as withdrawn.
2d. The parties will thus be replaced in the
position which they occupied®! the delivery and
receipt ot the second note. But as tn the mean
time, there has ceased to beany adequate mo
tive for a meeting between them, it is the opin
ion ot the referees that the wise and honorable
course is to consider the two first notes as also
withdrawn, and the coniroverst’ terminated.

OBITUARY.
Died, after a short and painful illness, at her
residence in Edgefield District, S. C., on the
morning of the 16th instant, Mrs. Frances Julia
Hammond, consort ofMr. Charles Hammond, in
the 33d year of her age.
Never has it fallen to the lot of him who pens
this articl ’, to perform so sad a task. Surround
ed by every blessing that could conduce to her
happiness—eminently endowed with those pecu
liar qualities which shine amidst the domestic
circle like rays of heavenly light—her friends
fondly hoped to enjoy her society for many years.
But their expectations were doomed to fall!
Heaven’s mighty decree had gone forth, and with
awe-stricken hearts we can only exclaim, “ Oh,
Lord, how unsearchable are thy judgments, and
thy ways are past finding out!”
The character of Mrs. Hammond is not easily
told. As the inflexible friend, the indulgent mo
ther, and the devoted wife, the writer knew not
which most to admire. All of these relations she
bote with that dignity which but few attain. No
person in our community enjoyed a larger circle
of friends, and her expansive heart embraced all.
The honorable poor shared as largely in her con
fidence as their more fortunate neighbors. On
many a heart has her kindness left impressions of
gratitude.
A more affectionate mother was not to be
found. To her children and husband she devoted
her life—happy when they were happy, and trou
bled when they complained. But, alas ! she is
gone! a d has left a husband with three small
children, an aged mother, a brother, and a large
circle of relatives and friends, to mourn their loss.
Though Mrs. Hammond never attached her
self to any church, her death was not without
hope. In the summer ot 1831, memorable on ac
count of the religious revival which spread
throughout this district, she attended a Pro
tracted Meeting, held in one of the churches
near her residence, and the Lord was pleased to
touch her heart with the power of His Truth, and
in the opinion of her friends, gave her the as
surance of His love, which accompanied her
through the remainder of her life ; nor did it for
sake her in the hour of death. To one of her
friends, who called to see her during her illness,
she remarked : “ I know I must die. I do not
fear death; I only regret to leave my husband
and children.”
There remains for them a consolation—the
hopeof meeting her in heaven. K.

Havre, Feb. 21.
The business in cotton, generally speaking, has been
pretty brisk this week, about 10,000 bales having been
disposed of, the greater part for home consumption.—
Prices are Very firm, and in some cases even slightly
higher than before, owing to the deficiency which is re
ported to exist in the American markets.
* Feb. 29.
Our market, since last report, has been exceedingly
dull ; not the slightest speculative feeling has been
manifested, and dealers buy merely what is required
for immediate necessities.
Prices have nevertheless been well supported, and
arc firm, which may be attributed to the general con
viction that our stock is not likely to be materially in
creased at present, and that some length of time may
elapse before any extensive shipments can come for
ward.
The fact of a disparity in prices here and in the Unit
ed States, where they are comparatively much higher
than with us, goes far to strengthen this opinion ; but
as there seems to be some ground for apprehending a
decline there, buyers operate with a great degree of
circumspection.

In prices there is no change. W e are anxiously await

IMPURITY OF BLOOD CAUSES
pain and occasions disease upon thatpartof
the body which from any cause maybe weakest.
Thus in persons whose blood is impure, should
they have n cold, the impure matter would settle
upon their lungs, and consumption be the troubie;
so v.ith other affection - . Ail trouble is saved by
usinifthe BRANDRETH PILLS, which cannot
injure and which cannot be overdone. Only use
them in th-* commencement of any disease, use
them in full doses and you will be up and well,
while those who are too wise to take such a sim
ple medicine, are bed-ridden, or prematurely end
their days. The Brandreth Pills are only begin
ning to be appreciated ; they arefound to never
deceive; they are the only internal medicine re
quired in this climate.
Be careful of pretended universal purgatives,
hichcannnot be used without injury to the
body as Brandeth’s Pills can. What are they?
Are they not imitations of the Brandreth Pills re
• omendedinadvertisement sstolen from Dr. Bran
dreth 2 Were they not originally counterfeit pills
purporting to be the genuine Brandreth Pills?
But in consequence of the new labels on the
Brandreth Pill boxes are they not obliged to come
out under other colors equally false ? Observe the
makers and travelling agents. Are they not men
whom Dr. Brandreth hath cast off, not for good
conduct truly ? Is not this true as applicable to
the nretended “ Indian," and, in fact, to nearly
all tne advertised pills of the day ? Shall the pub
lic trust their lives in the hands ot these unprin
cipled men ? Surely not.
The Brandreth Pills give strength for weakness
—they are liked best by those who have taken the
mostofthem. Dr. Brandreth can give personal
reference to thousands who have been restored
from a bed of sickness by their use, when evrey
other means hap proved entiroly unavailing.
These cases are continuallyo ccurring in this city
and in every part of the Union. Get Brandreth’s
Pills if you an- not perfectly healthy, and they will
restore you —if medicine can do it —because they
expel those humors whichare the cause of impuri
ty ol the blood, and at the same time the body is
strengthened by the operation of this most excel
lent medicine.
The New York Commercial Advertiser says:
—“ They remove all morbid humors, and purify
the blood.”
The New York Sun says : “ Brandreth’s Pills
have been used among many of our friends, and
in our family we have used them nearly four
years, when we required medicine. In that
period, no doctor save Dr. Brandreth has crossed
our threshold, and no medicine besides the
Doctor’s pills used. Our belief is, keep your
bowels and blood pure, and every kind of disease
will be prevented or cured. The Brandreth Pills
are eminently calculated to do this, and thereby
much lessen the sum of human misery. They
are a certain cure for fevers, colds from damp or
changeable weather, putrid exhalations of any
kind, or contagious maladies. None of these
causes for sickness can affect us except through
the organs of the stomach and bowels; and com
mon sense tells us there can be no safer method
than the removal of unhealthy accumulations in
those important organs. It matters not whether
those accumulations proceed from the impure
state of the blood, the state of the air, changes
of the weather, or from unwholesome food.”

The manufacturers have brought these balan

to all the purposes for which heavy transactions
are required by weight. In the mechanical con
struction, care is taken to secure strength, dura

specific point and to a given amount, but uniform
accuracy at every angle of the platform, and
throughout the entire range, from the lowest to
the highest capacity of the balance.
These scales keep their adjustment perfectly
are never liable to derangement, and seldom to
any expense for repairs. They are in use in
the most of the railroads of the United States,
and in some of them they have been long in use,
the operation being perfect. So also in the dor

in constant use for a succession of years, testify
to their uniform accuracy, and to the fact that
they appear unaffected by wear.
