TURNER’S
Compound Fluid Ex-truct ol" Conyza and
Styllingin.
’TTHIS preparation is a Concentrated Extract, con-
i taining all the Active Medical Properties of the
Conyza, (commonly known as Black Root,) and the
Styilingia, or Queen's Delight.
• These plants have been lung used among our South
ern Negroes, and recently by the Medical Profession,
with the happiest results, in cases ol Chronic Rheu
matism, Ulcers of long standing, and Secondary
Syphilis. It is much superior to any preparation ot
Sarsaparilla as an alterative, being more active and
prompt in its operation on the system. These facts
have induced the subscribers to present to the atten
tion of Physicians a tiuid extract prepared strictly ac
cording to Chemical and Parmaueuticul science, de
void of all the feculent and inert parts of the roots,
not doubting that it will supersede the uuscientificand
crude preparations hitherto used.
Price—SI per bottle, or six bottles lor S5.

H OW frequently do we hear this expression, which
is meant to convey to tile mind the last stage of
sickness that a patient can be reduced to, and live.
Mrs. Harrison, a member of the Trinity Church, was,
as she expresses herself, brought down to “Death's
Door" by Rheumatism and Nervous Headache, when,
like an angel of Moray IIADWAY’S READY RE
LIEF" relieved her of her severe pains unit restored
her to her friends in perfect health.
The very instant Hallway’s Ready Relief is applied,
its beneficial effects are experienced. It soothes,

San Juan i>e Nicaragua—Bkitish Movements-
—The arrival of tho Philadelphia, by the way of
Kingston, Jamaica, gives somo interesting intelli
gence relating to tho valuable port which the Eng
lish call Greytorwn, hut whicli the Christian world
calls San Juan de Nicaragua. It seems that the in
flux of Americans there lias excited alarm for tho
stability of English usurpation of that pla»e. The
Kingston Journal states thut Mr. Green, theso-enil-
cd English Consul, but practical British dictator, at
Siui Juan, has made a requisition on the Governor of
Jamaica for an additional force to her Britunnic Ma
jesty’s brig Persian nnd the schooner Bermuda, which
have hitherto been stationed ut tho port of San
Juan. Tho Indefatigable, of fifty guns, has been
despatched to meet any possible emergency. The
Journal significantly adds, “there really must be
something expected iu that quarter to require tho
presence of a frigate and two other vessels of war at
Greytown.”
The truth is, remarks the N. Y. Herald, Grent Bri-
tain,underthe busy administrutionof the meddlesome
Palmerston, does not intend, and never did, to give
up San Juan ; and the secret of the present formida
ble movement is to evernwe the Americans who arc
pouring into Nicaragua through this same port. Tho
whole project confirms the statements and opinions
of our Charge, Mr. Squier, aaset down in his letter
to the Hon. Mr. Foote, published by us on Friday
ast. England, as usual, under Palmerston, is playing
false. The Clayton and llulwer treaty is u humbug ;
and our government should order, ut once, two or
three vessel* of war to Sun Juan, to protect our in
terests aud our citizens. It is a fact disgraceful to us
as a nation, that no Amereuu government vessel ever
touched there, although our trade is greater than thut
of any nation at that port, find ten of our merchant
vessels hnve been in the harbor at one time. Tho
people must take this matter in hand, if the govern
ment will nut do its plain and unequivocal duty.
Culture of Cotton In the British West Ini >
riles'.
On the 26th ult. a meeting of gentlemen of the
highest respectability and influence, was held at
Kingston* Jamaica, tor the purpose of considering k
proposnlfiimdc by a Mr. William Wright, to eatabliah
a small company with a limited number of shares, to
test tho practicability of rendering cottons produc
tive article of export from the island. The chair
wastaken hy ChiefJusticeSir JoshuaRoWe. Among
others present was a Mi'. Williams, a cotton planter,
from Georgia, whoso statement* were deemed of
great importance. Letters were received from Va
rious landed proprietors, offering properties In sav-
erul localities for the establishment of the proposed
cotton field. An estate of 1,U00 acres on tho south
ride of the island was offered, free of rent, for three
years. On some of these properties the experiment
of cotton planting was successfully tried a few years
since. Numerous specimens of cotton ahd cattail
plants wore exhibited to the meeting. Sotne of
them that hero abundantly were grown in districts
which at present are unproductive nnd valueless.—
The specimens shown were partly of the common
wild cotton of the country, aud the remainder front
Rea Island seed und other loreigujkinds. One descrip
tion, the “Tennessee Bond," had been grown at la
elevation of 2,000 ftet above the sea, bore finely and
was picked three months after It was planted. Sam
ples of all the kinds had been sent to G lusgow und Man
chester, and the reports returned were highly favor-
a bio. Tho sam pie of wild c otton sent to Manchester
was valued at llhl. per pound. The other .sample*
were valued at Glasgow, at 8j to 9d., and at Manches
ter 9jd. per pound.
Mr. Williams, the American planter's opinion qif
tiie cotton boaring qualities of tho Island was very
favorable. The grout difficulty apprehended is that
labor in sufficient quantity for the successful cultiva- N
tiou of cnttqh on a large scale cannot be had lq the
island. The letters red stated that in many districts
the luhor dffuld be obtained ut tbe rate of oiie shilling
per day. Mr. Willinma thought this much cheaper
than iu the .Southern .States. He said that in the South
fewer hands were required to cultivate cotton, be
cause tho lands were ploughed, ami not asito Jamnica,
hoed up. Ho could at home put in nnd pick,out a
crop from sine hundred sores with fifteen hand*'; lie
had done it with eight. Mr. Williams further stutori
that there were not less thun 20,(XK) fugitive slave*
from the Southern Stntes, now resident in Canada,
who would willingly emigrate to Jnihuica, to cncapd
the cold weather. Several other gentlemen confirm
ed this statement mid opinion.

Lahge Gold .Coins.-An important measure id
commerce, iu connexion with tiie gold of Califorhl*
has just been brought foward in the Seriate by Mr.
Gwinn, senator from that new State. « proposes,vir
tually, t hat gold coins of the values of frorii cme huri“
dred to tenlhousand dollars each, shall be struck St
the mint ahtt its branches.
The circular coin hitherto universally followed for
small coin* which had Its origin in the rude aucieut con
trivance of dropping, the melted metal from a ladle;
to be then struck with a punch and hatrimor, adapt*,
them to our purposes, hut would not be appropriate
for these gigantic coins designed for heavy transac
tions at homo nnd exchanges abroad. For' these
purposes they should be rectangular, that they raa]r
be convenient for packing in boxes. .•'*
These huge rectangular coins are but a valuable amt
ingenious improvement upon the limited arid already |
existing ingot system of European bankers. They
are to be struck of refined gold, of uniform firmness
and with appropriate legands and devices, Biiriitaf to
those upon our smaller coins witli their values con
spicuously marked and the inscriptions Liberty and
United, States of America. Counterfeiting and
mutilation are provided Hgainst by suitable coritri-
vanees and penal enactments.
