PHARMACEUTICAL.
I T being a part of the Drug Business to vend Patent
Madina"*, and as the tmmfor has increased much
within a few years, it behooves the public therefore to
lie more cautious in their seloetious. The rule of my
establishments bus Kant, front the hugiuiitg, to admit
none on wile but of respectable standing, nt least. Ex
perience has shown, in conducting burine** of this kind,
the importation of not only carrying out the rule, but the
more rigidly enforcing it. Many of llu.no nostrums pre
tend to cure all diseases, mid are held forth as eontuiniiig
hulsnms of trees or plants that produce none, and if ho.
are inert; besides, some of them purport to lx 1 from in
stitutions that never exi-ted.or are dtiblvd with the names
of distinguished Medical man of their day, or something
foreign is protended. All this is, of course, for the pur-
|xiw of luisleodiiig the public us to the origin or merit of
tin* remedy. Even n gisxl article liecomcs a quack prejv
aration wlien put forth a* curing too many diseases—for
the pink of cbarlutnni-m is, that one remedy is to rum
, all diseases.

Oh, that was the tiling hrochl the tenr to her c’e.
She gned hy the stable wlicrc Jamie wn* stimuli)’,
Rlelit sair was his kind heart, the Hillin’ to see ;

TIIE TREATY WITH MEXICO.
Evory one ia interested, of course, to know wlmt
torrilory wo acquire by virtue of tlio treaty now
ponding. According to the line reported in the
Journal* ns tho one laid down in the treaty, the
newly-acquired province* arc alone sufficient to
form an empire of large dimen»ions, and, when
given up by Mexico, will leave her but little more
than half of wluitHho claimed before Texas was
loti.
If we understand, by the Texas t°iritory this
side tho Nueces, then we assign to it tin area of
200.000 square miles; but if we consider it as
embracing nil on this side of tho Rio Grande, then
it contained 307,318 square miles. Mexico claim
ed all within both limits, and considers that, hy
tlio treaty in hand, site cedes to the II States the
100.000 square miles of territory called Texas—
that is to say, she cedes according to her view or
the carp—
In territoryen*t of the Rio Grande... 400,000 sq. mile*.
Upper California 370,000 *•
Country between the Colorado, Gila,
nml Bravo river* 100.000 «•
Lower California 80,000 44
. 030,000 44
There nppoarsto l»e some doubt whether Ijower
California is included in the ccFsion, and there
seems to be sonic uncertainty also, respecting the
line between the three rivers; but it will probably
appear that lilt* whole cession exceeds 900,000 sq.
mg me v
or upwards of 700,000 if we leave Texas, ns
bounded west hy the Nueces, nut of the account.
Tho whole territory of Mexico, including Tex
as, ns shown hy the best maps, was about 1,700,-
000 square utiles. Deducting 200,000 for Texas,
within the Nonces—which we consider tho true
boundary—and tlio territory of Mexico, ul tho be
ginning of the war, was 1.500.000 square mile*.
Of this, she redes, cast of the Rio Grande—
200.000 wi. miles.

THE NATIONAL SENTIMENT.
The speeches of Messrs. Wlntlirop, Hudson,
Holmes, Vinton and McDowell, of the House, and
of Messrs. Davis and Benton, of the Senate, up
on the denth of Mr. Adams, must have gratified
the feelings of every friend of tho venerable dead,
and ovory truo son of Massachusetts. Whore
all were so good It would he hardly fair to speak
of one in higher terms than of another; but wo
particularly pleased with tho warm, glowing
anti eloquent tribute spoken bv Mr. Holmes, of
No’.ith Carolina. Wo nave seldom, if evor, read
any eulogy more appropriately conceived, or one
which enrried a higher moral appreciation. It
was honorable to the Slates of South Carolina
and of Massachusetts, and honorable to the illus
trious deceased and to Mr. Holmes. We feci it to
be a privilege lo have this op|mrtunity to step out
from within the narrow confines of the party poli
tics of the day, and to take, as it wore, by tlio
band gentlemen like Holmes, McDowell,and Ben
ton, and to tell them that tlieirgenerous sentiments
are appreciated and returned by the peoplo of this
ancient Commonwealth. Such scenes as those
witnessed in the Henntc and House, on this occa
sion, speak well for our country, our public men,
and give us higher and bettor notions of our com
mon humanity. They show that nmid nil tho
strifo and tmnult of party warfare, there remains
yet beneath all a hidden fountain of manly sym
pathy nml generous regard tor high tulent, emi
nent public service, and private worth, whicli can
not always lie repressed; it must gush forth at
times, and when it does, it refreshes nnd strength
ens our good impulses, and gives new birth to bet
ter feelings.
Wo buliovo thnt one good which wo derive from
tho death of the righteous public servant, is the
opportunity which it gives to tho expression of
sentiments of broad national patriotism, making
its feel that wo are one people. It libomli/.OH pub
lic opinion. It strengthens the bonds of union,
and enforces the noble sentiment of our distin
guished Senator, that we liuvo “one Country,
one Constitution, one Destiny.’'

ccipts hew from 1st Sept, to tho present time (just
ouo-ltttlfof the commercial year) already reach
733,932 hales, against 525,990 bales to the samo
time last year, and are only 6,737 bales short of
the total receipts of last season. If for the coming
six months the arrivals boar a similar proportion
to Inst year’s, New Orleans will have received at
the close of the year at least 1,100,000 bales a*

would lie destroyed. It originated from a defect
in one of tlio flues of tlio furnace with whicli the

most confusion prevailed, and before alarm could

Tiie Baltimore American publishes the follow,
ing extract from a letter received by a gentleman
of that city, hy tlio last steamship, from a relative
in England, a colonel in the British army:
*■ Wlmt n glorious time Gen. Scott haa had of it.
Taking an interest in his movements, I have watch
ed hit accounts of the same, and never reader
heard of a conquering army so clear of excess or
barbarity as that of America, uuder his and ether
general officers in command. One thought haa
often struck inc, and is often uppermost in my
iiiiml. It is, that America will sooner or later be
the great einporium of the world, and ntpertede
England. This country, owing to its expensive
government, and extravagant way of conducting
it, will be overloaded with taxes, and the shameful
neglect of Irolaud, which has been bronght to tho
last extremity of distress from mis-government,
will lie an everlasting stain on the history of Eng
land. They know not how to govern it.
Truth Fitly Spokes.—Among the many good
things said of Mr. Adams, while Congress was be
stowing all due honors at tho demise of an ex-
I’rcfidcnt within its Halls, no ono was more hap
py in Iuh remarks than Mr. Holmes, of South Car
olina. How bcatifui tlio following eulogium:
11 Tu tlio Inflict office of tho people he was quickly
raiheil; and how ill that fphere lie moved, with what

said: “Ho crushed no heart beneath the rude

A Mousing Politician Caught m me own
Thai' There is an amusing anecdote about Gen.
Cass going tlio rounds of tiie press, and which is
miile likely to be literally true. It is stated that
tnc President sent the treaty with Mexico to the
Senate, with tho approval ot himself and Secreta
ry of Stato in writing. Tho Senate went into ae,
cret session to consider the peace proposals, and af
ter an hour or two thus spont, the doors were open
ed, and Gen Cass at once gave notice that he would
call up tiie Ten Regiment Bill, and hoped the Sen-,
ate would act upon it without further delay. It
was intimated that tho peace proposals obviated
any action, at least any hasty action on the bill.
Mr. Cass said the Senators on his side were of o-
pininn thnt “ to halt now in our military operations
would bo fatal"—that there was more necessity
limn ever for passing tlio bill—that supposing a
Treaty had been mado, it had not boon ratified, and
Mexico might lie inclined to reject it, being an un
stable govemmont—hereto day, and gone to mor
row—"that me ought to make a powerful demonstra.
tiun, to have its eject in driving them into a Trea
ty"—that there need bo no expense incurred or
troops raised.
At tliis particular crisis of the debate, Senator
Mangum urose with an impressive manner and eats
neatness of spooch, and brought the military chair
man to a halt, hy raising a point of order.
Mr. Cuss, supposing Tie was called to order for
. refurring to subjects pending in Becret session, re
marked that" ho trusted ho should be allowed the
privilege," as others had been Indulged.
Hereupon Mr. Mangum, with great gravity, in
formed tho Senator that lie had entirely mlsanpre-
bended tiie point of order. The point Is, (said Mr.
Mangum raising his voice) whether the gentleman
was not giving “aid and comfort to the enemy,” by
proclaiming hero that we should make nmnoeifitl
demmstratiim with a view lo frighten the Mexi
cans into a Treaty; for hi* remarks may be pub
lished and may reach tho earn of the Mexicans,
and thus defeat Ihc object sought by the "gome tf
brag."
The scene is described as ludicrous and affect
ing. Tho Chairman of the Military Committee
was spcchluss, so hard had he ran his need against
the wall; whereupon the Senate being 'peculiar
ly, and powerfully excited,' on motion ol Mr. John
son promptly a^/uumed [N. O. Bee.

A terrible accident lately occurred in one of tho

An ArruoAciinfo Comet.—if we can give

and chroniclers of 1304, and which, was observed
in 1556 by Fabricus. It U known that in the
month uf March, 1656, a singularly brillUnt com
et was seen, equal in magnunde to a half moon.
Its util was rather short, ft was not invariable In
its lustre and its ligbt.and bore great reeembimee
to tho fluino of a candle agitated by the wind. It

that the moment nf hi* death wet approaching, ex-
claimed, it Is mid, “His ergo intbcasme men fide

if wu can believe the historian# of the time, to the
design formed by Chsrles^nd which he pbt into ex-
ccutiun a few months later, of nbdlwflfcg Whvor
