Mr. Underwood said he was desirous of hav ing a branch mint at San Francisco, lie wish ed to have the sense of the Senate again on that question. He was against the assay offices. A discussion followed on the question of or der. Mr. Badger said he would, at some time, move to strike New York and insert San Francisco, in C alifornia. The bill was lakl aside. The Senate took up the adjustment bill re ported from the committee of thirteen. The question being on the amendment offer ed by Mr. Jefferson Davis, as modified at the sug gestion of Mr. Pratt. Mr. Davis said he had not, when he adopted the modification, noticed the word “lawfully, lie would modify it so as to strike out “lawfully, and include “conformably to the laws and con stitution of the United States. ’ Mr. Mason, who was entitled to the floor, rose and addressed the Senate. He painted out some objections to that part of the report which relates to the surrender of fu gitive slaves. In the committee, it did not strike him that the clause requiring a bond from the claimants was of little moment, but he now thought it objectionable. As to the proposition to slavery in this District, lie was precluded from exercising any discretion by the resolutions of the Legislature of Virginia. The Legislature made the passage of any law for the abolition of slavery in the District, one of the events upon which the Governor was di rected to call the Legislature, and, to consider the mode and manner of redress. Mr. Foote said these were the original resolu tions; but, in the last resolution passed, that pro vision was significantly left out. Mr. Clay asked what was their date. Mr. Mason. January, 1849. But they were never revoked. Mr. Mason proceeded to say that he would be as much pleased as any man in the country at any adjustment that could be made, but he had no belief that the scheme proposed would have this effect. He was willing to make a concession, and a great one, for the peace and harmony of the Un ion. He demanded that every citizen of the U. S. should be permitted to go into any common territory of the United States, and take and en joy any property that they could enjoy in any of the States. California, therefore, should become a territorial government, and open to slavery. If any law for bad it, it should be repealed. He was willing that the final question of the right to hold slave property in those territories should be left to the decision of the Supreme Court, untrammeled by Congress or any local law. lie thought the defeat of the Clayton com promise unfortunate. As to the territories that could not be enjoyed in common, he would agree to a division by a certain line, according to the Missouri comprom ise. He would not agree to the proposition to dis member Texas. To lix the boundary line at 32 deg. and oui of two-and-a-half degrees of the territory in which slavery was now established below 36 30. He could never assent to give up that territory. The act fixing the State consti tution of California had no validity. Mr. Mason offered to extend the line of3G deg. 30 tnin., through Texas to the Pacific. Some conversation followed between Messrs. Clay, Foote, Mason, and Underwood Mr. Underwood took the floor. The Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Chair staled that the lirst business in or der, being a special order, was the consideration i of the reports m the case of Mr. Hornor, acting door-keeper of the House. Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, offered a resolution for the dismissal of Mr. liornor. Mr. Chandler rose and deprecated the intro duction into the House of a business of so little importance to the nation, lie defended Mr. Hornor against him, and Mr. Brown replied, jus tifying his action. Finally, Mr. Inge moved to lay the whole subject on i the table. The motion was agreed to, by a vote of yeas 96, noes 58. Air.StantonofKentucky,asked the unanimous consent of the House to introduce a resolution, which was objected to, and the iluuse refused to suspend the rules. .Mr. Crowell asked the unanimous consent of of the House to introduce a bill to abolish the slave trade in the JJistrict of Columbia. Objection was made to the introduction of the ■ bill. j Mr. Sweetser moved to suspend the rules for the introduction of the bill. The question was j taken—yeas 100, nays 63, not two thirds. On motion of Mb. Bocock, the rules were sus pended and the House resolved itself into com mittee of the whole and resumed the considera- tion ofthe California question. Mr. Thomas, ofTenn., being entitled'to the floor spoke an hour on the pro-slavery side of the question. Mr. Bennett next obtained the floor. Ileurg ed in favor of the admission of California, and against the further axtension of slavery Mr. Bocock then obtained the floor. The com mittee then rose and the House adjourned. Washington, May 28,1850. SENATE, An answer was received from the Secretary of the Navy, in answer to tlie call of the resolu tion which passed! on the 20th instant, relative to extra compensation of naval officers. The bill to increase the rank and file of the ar my was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, Mr. Hunter, from the Committee, reported in favor of enlarging the Capitol. On motion of Mr. Hunter, the Committee on Public Buildings were authorized, to act jointly with the corresponding Committee of the House on the subject Mr. Bradbury’s resolution relative to removals was taken up. Mr. Webster moved to postpone it till Thurs day, but withdrew the motion at tin.’ request of Mix Turney, who took the iloor, and spoke on the subject.

Our last semi-weekly report left the Cotton market with a fair enquiry, and we had occasion to remark that prices were assuming more stead iness and firmness. On Wednesday the demand was less active, but nevertheless sales were ef fected to the extent of about 3300 bales, at firm prices. On Thursday there were contradictory rumors respecting the Asia’s accounts, which were quite confidently asserted to be in private hands, but nothing was before the public, and as very few buyers appeared in market the busi ness was restricted to about 1500 bales, though full prices were obtained. Yesterday the Euro pa’s letters came through, and as they were un derstood to contain few or no orders that could be executed, and as the Asia’s accounts were jully due by telegraph, our market remained in fa remarkably quiet state, we having heard of I sales barely to the extent of 2200 bales. Thus : the sales of the past three days only amount to ; 6000 bales, and the total business of the week sums up 15,400 bales, the bulk of which has been taken for England, with some parcels for the Continent and the North. In prices we have to notice more firmness for a few days past than in the early part of the week, and a good class of Middling Louisianas and Mississippis is a frac tion higher than our previous quotation, while for North Alabamas the market is heavy, they having for some time past been comparativley neglected. There have been two or three sales, however, that give some indication of the posi tion of prices, and we therefore give quotations . that approach to accuracy. New- York 3larket, May 31—G P. M. The tendency of the Cotton market is in favor of buy er3. One thousand bales sold—middling L plands quoted at 121, and middling Orleans at 121. Rice is steady Flour and Grain have declined. The private letters by the Asia are less favorble to Cotton than the printed accounts. Liverpool Cotton Market, way 18.—The cotton | market maintains the same healthy tone as noticed in our review of last week, and it any change can be noted in prices it is in favor of the seller; but the advance is so small that it does not amount to a quotation, except in fair and good qualities suitable lor exportation, which being relatively scarce arc advanced one-eighth of a penny per lb. by the official quotations, as some eon- i sitler should have been done the previous week. Fair Up lands are now quoted at Til; fair Orleans, 71d ; and ; fair Mobile,73d : middling qualities arc put down at GUI ! to 7(1. The .-ales for the week amount to 48.640 bale-, of which 15,700 have been taken on speculation, and 2.800 on export. The import of the week is 41,900 bales, and the stock now on hand in Liverpool is esti mated at 515,000 bale s , against 632,000 at a similar pe riod in 1349. The sale- 5 to-day have been 5.000 bales, the market closing with le s briskness, but steady. The i Cambria’s advices from New York, which are expected by Tuesday lirst, are looked for with some anxiety, as in the event oftheirbeing still unfavorable as to the receipts ; at the shipping port 3 , there will be a greater resort to working snort time. Report for the Week ending may 17. — Our quota tions with the exception of fair, which has been raised Id. per lb., remains as on Friday last. Although at the close of la s t week, and the commencement of the pres ent, the hulk of the business was done at somewhat ad vanced rates, (not, however, amounting to a quotation ) we must, however, now lull back upon our former rates, but closing steadily at them. We have received, since our last, two American mail s . By them we see the falling off in receipt 3 to amount to 6.12.000 Laic —a very j serious deficiency ; and advices concerning the planting j of the coming crop are not. very favorable.

THIS work is eminently fitted to assume the position which it merits as a book tor every parlor table and for every fire-side where there is an appreciation of the kindness and manliness, the intellect and the af fection, the wit and liveliness which rendered William Wirt at once so eminent in the world, so brilliant in so ciety. and so loving and loved in the retirement of his domostic circle. Uniting all these attractions, it eanno, fail to find a place in every private and public libraryt and in all collections of books for the use of schools and colleges, for the young can have before them no bright er example of what can be accomplished by industry and resolution, than the life of Wm. Wilt, as uncon sciously related by himself in the t volumes. To law yers especially this work will present peculiar attraction, and as embodying the life of one who rose from obscu rity to the head of his profession, and as embracing sketches and observations on all the most distinguished members of the bar of that brilliant period, as well as notices of the many important eases in which Mr. Wirf was engaged. Avery finished and deeply interesting niece of biog raphy. Mneh as we had admired Mr. Wirt, we did not know how much he deserved admiration, and how worthy he was of imitation, until we read tho'e pages. To a young lawyer we could hardly suggest more nse ful reading. No’ American has pursued the law, through a long and illustrious career, with more single hearted devotion, than Wm. Wirt. His letters, which form the staple of this book, are all redolent ot this fervent spirit. To his family and familiar friends, they tell of his toils, his anxieties, his conflicts, and his triumphs. 1 o young men, they describe'the way of eminence, and allure them on by high motives and bright examples, when space permits, we intend to enrich our pages with extracts from these delightful letters. — JYcstcrn Laic Journal , March, 1850.

Tv introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit ed States., for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Gralfenried, its discov erer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine ior the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un paralleled in the annals of medicine ; and he has no hes itation in saying,, that it is decidedly the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most pain ful and distressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca-. ses, in which it has been used within the above named period. and in no single instance has it come to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persereved in. :'l any of the cases were from four to ten years stand ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex traordinary, is, that when the patient has been once re lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re turn. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for the results"he entertains no ap prehension. Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress, and character of this dis case,and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, and had used all the remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own , and of every other country. But the undersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering.

CETTFICATES. .Tone’s Hotel, Philadelphia, March 3d 1850 Col. A. B. Ragan —Sir It affords me great pleasure to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Dr. de Graffenrieds Rheumatic Liniment. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with, what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheumatic gout, for several winters j past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all the time. In January last. I had an attack as violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about j three weeks; on your reccommendation I commenced ! the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little j faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene ficial from its first application. In a few days my back, wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling's reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. I have been in the ! discharge of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most j efficacious remedy for this disease which 1 have ever met i with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all I who may be afflicted with it. Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES. Jones, Hotel, j Baltimore March, 30 ISSO. | Dr. de Graffenried —Dear Sir ; For the last twelve i years I have sufficed very severely with the Rheumatism, j having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to j my bed by it. I have had the best medical aid to be ‘ found in various cities in the United States, with little or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. 1 spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return home, I so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a lit tle. About six weeks since, I had a very severe attack which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain and scarcly able to move my limbs, when a friend of mir.e called and informed me that you had discovered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu matic Linament, and take pleasure in informinig you that in less than twenty four hours from the first application I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to this time. lam now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflicted, as I have been, may be as speedily relieved, as I have been with your medecine.— Widling you all the Blessings you deserve Dear Sir. Your Greateful and Olvt Serv’t GEO. WARDSWORTH, Columbus Ga.. Oct. 29,1919 Dr. De Graffenried—Dear Sir: I take pleasure in giv ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relieffrom Rheumatism. During the spring of 1814 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism. I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known and used in similar cases,aided by medical advice,until September, 1345, wit IT no satisfactory result whatever. | I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try j your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured him ; and in one month, from the time I commenced the application, I was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as 1 ever was, and have continued so to this time. Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. de GrafTcnried-—Learning that you are about to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Liniment, I take pleasure in stating that I believe it one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that I common and most distressing disease, having witnessed ! its effects upon a negro man of mine, who had been af flicted i'or four years, until almost every joint was en larged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use of four or five bottles, in three weeks he was relieved en tirely from pain. Columbus Ga., —Oct. 24, 1849. A. K. AYER, Columbus, October 30, 1849. Dear Sir —About the, first of April last, I came to Co lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on yon, as having a remedy that would afford me speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off” my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen; the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu matic Liniment my limbs three times, and Was the next morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could ; also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which j the previous day, I could not have done if my life had de- j penned on it. I could also use, open and bend my sing- ; ers, vfieh was an imbossibility the day before’. I rose in | the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I j used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu- j matie Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I j would not have been in the condition which t had been, j ten clays before I called on you, for any amoutof money ■ which could be given me ; for what is life worth when j in constant pain and mi; cry ! I consider your Rheumat- j ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I j am, dear sir, your friend. J. H. SMITH. Colifinhits, Nov. 1, 1849. Dear Sir—-My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a stilff neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven j'ears, and could not turn her neck except with the ‘ body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Lin iment, which was applied in August or September of 1818. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to this time, it has not returned. GARLAND B. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 11859. Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and having heard of the wonderful effect* of your Rheu matic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it; and after three days, I was so much relieved as to be able to leave the house and attend to business. I have perfect ly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully re commend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted, GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell street. Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1849. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried — Dear Sir: Agreeable to your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at tacked in one. joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and haying mod many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with but little benefit, I made application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am ktppv to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re commend its use to all persons affected in like manner.- Very respectfully, F. S CHAPMAN. I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. do Graffcnricd’s Rheumatic Liniment in the case ol Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under my immediate observation.- October 13, 1849. R. A. WARE, M.D, Dear Sir—Some time in Jauary last, Mrs. McKee was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and arm, which disabled her from using her arm almost en tirely ; and from the pain, Want of sleep, and great rest lessness, for not less than six weeks, I was iudueed by my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to- eal! on you for a bot tle of your Liniment, and by using half the bottle, she was entirely relieved, and tnereliet was manifest or sen sible after three or four rubbings. “ I am of opinion, it is one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis covered, for Rheumatism: that is, from my own knowl edge, and that which 1 have heard from others. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried. “ H. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. I9th 1849 Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in sav i I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Ivheu* : matism, that he could not raise his hand to his head, and had nearly lost the use ofihis arm. I used the fourth of a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved ‘ him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for : the cure of Rheumatism. RANDOLPH L. MOTT.
