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.

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.

PTCTON. “ 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.

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.

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.
