t The. Gkkat Burman Bell.—Next to the great bell of Moscow, which weigh* soar hun dred and lorty-lour thousand pounds, I the bell of Men goon, mentioned by Mr. Maldolrn, who de-crihes the Burmese as parlicu'arly famous for casting bells. Their bells are howevijr, dispro portionately thick, but of delightful Dne. The raised inscriptions and figures are as beautiful as on any bells in the world. They do; not Hire open at the mouth like a trumpet, bat; <;re pre cisely the shape of an old-fashioned giobu ar wine glasses, or seoiispheroidal. There a e several in the empire of enormous size. I hat at Mcngoon, near Ava, weighs as the prime minister informed me, eighty-eight thousand viss—more than three hundred and thirty thousand pounds? It seems almost incredible; but it is nevertheless true. The bell, by actual measurement, is twenty inches thick, twenty feet high, including the ear, and thirteen feet six inches in diameter. A friend, distinguished as a civil engineer, computed the ! weig t, train this measurement,to exceer five hun dred thousand pounds, supposing the >ell metal i to consist of three parts copper and om part tin. The weight was ascertained by the Bui mans be fore cabling, and its bulk in cubic inchjes proves them to he correct. It is suspended a fijw inches from the ground, and like there other g|eat bells, is without a tongue. That at Rangouti is not much smaller. It will he recollected ihjit the lar gest bells in the United Slates do not much ex ceed rive thousand pounds. (.'ol. R. M.Joh>so\ and Abolition.

EVANS ’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil dren, when thought past recovery, from convul sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children ; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by' opening the pores and healing the gums ; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, kc. Sold only at Dr. Wm. Evans’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street. New York, where the Doctor may he consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir —The great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by 'our Soothing Sy r rup, in a case of protracted and iainfu! dentition, must convince every feeling pa ent how essential an early r application of such au 1 ivaluahle medicine is to relieve infant misery and arture. My infant, when teething, experienced iuch acute sullerings, that it was attacked with convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as soon as applied t the gums, a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com pletely recovered, and no lecurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. 1 give you my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any information on this circumst; nee.

IT is disagreeable to me to trouble the public with my private matters, particularly as 1 am notin the habit of writing newspaper squibs, but 1 am at this time drawn out, in self defence, by' the advertisement over the signature of Charles L.

Mathews, of me, at tae time the note was given. He made lurthcr requirements of me afterwards, of which 1 would not comply with, for he was ful ly' cautioned of future results, by me, before we made the trade for which I received his note; and he took the trade on himself, at his own risk, in the presence of Mr. Rufus K. Evans, a respeclanle gentleman of Macon, Ga., who I fortunately had to go with me to hear the representations made by me to him. I wish it further understood, that he came to me to make the trade, not me to him. Several other gentlemen applied to me for the same trade, and I gave them the same information that 1 gave Charles L. Mathews. Though Mathews said that he had read or studied law, and consequently was acquainted with the laws of Georgia, and under those considerations we made the trade Now as he has disclaimed the payment of his note, I cau tion him and all other personsagainst any intrusion on the property for which the note was given, as the law will be strictly- enforced again-t ail tres passers.

The advantage of the location of this branch of the Academy in one of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State, and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to need comment.

THIS thorough bred Horse will stand from this time until the first of -MIR July next at the stable in the lower X*wif|p ar t of Augusta, formerly occupied Vw by Bertrand, Jr. Terms—s3o the season, payable at the last visit; for three or mi re mares, owned by the same person, $25 each: $1 for the groom. PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows :—■“ Tom 'i unstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie.mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom Tunstall was sired by o.d Pacific, and he by- old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended f.om as good a stuck as any horse in the United States. — lie was a race hoise of the first order, but I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing lu his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har py Ckyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of tiie dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies-thus •• —“ Highland Mary combined as many ormore rich crosses of thorough breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie ; grand-dam Saily Jones by the imported hoise Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kelle.' ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-darn by the imported horse Wrangier; great-great-grand dara O’Possum by imported .Shark,; great-giand-dam by the celebrated Americanquar ter race horse,- Goode’s, old Twigg; great-great great-gieal-giand-dam by imported Fearnaught; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s old Mark Anthony outot a mare by imported Mou key.” On the sfie’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none will require a purer or better attested pedegree!— If farther recommendation be w r anted, call and see Tom. WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent, feb 22—trwtkwtf
