Another Earthquake
j There was a severe earthhquake shock
in Tortuga! on the 11th ult. Every
house in Lisbon was shaken. Many
chimneys were knocked down, walls
cracked and thrown down, in Lisbon,
but it appears that no building was de
stroyed, and that one death alone was
caused by the falling of a wall half built
at the Polytechnic School. At Villa
franca another death took place, and a
good deal of injury was done to the
houses at Ciatra and Mafra ; but of all
the accounts hitherto received, those
from St. Übes, about eight leagues
from Lisbon, on the south of the Ta
gus, are the most distressing. A great
j 1 number of houses were thrown down,
and some of the inhabitants buried in
the ruins, but no authentic accounts
have yet been received of the number of
deaths

a late meeting, fixed the officers’ sala

Texas, United States Senator from that
State, in place of J. Picknky Hender

Nett Weight of Hogs.
At this season, the following table for

of hogs, may be useful to dealers in
pork. It is based upon the Kentucky
rule —that is, for one hundred pounds

Freedom or the Press in Spain.—
Spanish editors deserve great credit for
their persistence in expressing their
opinions, notwithstanding the formida
ble opposition they meet with from the
government. It will be seen by the
following statement that they maintain
the point of free discussion at no tri
fling cost. On the 28th, La Espana was
complained of for a third time, andsuf
sered a fine of SSOO, incurred under the
section of the law respecting the press,
which furnishes the supposed evil in
tention in official acts. The next daj
it was promised that there would In
cause for a fourth complaint, which was
duly made, ami resulted in a fine of
$1,750 and costs, with the foreiture of
that number of the paper. Within tin
last four months the fines imposed on
the journals at the capital amount to
the sum of $4,350, there remaining
four cases yet to be adjudged with the
Espana, one with the Parlamento, om
with the Novidades, one with the Lear:

As Arab Magician.- C.leb Lyon, of
Lyonsdale, in his lectures on Egypt, re
lates some remarkable tricks that were
performed by an Arab magician. A
cane was handed to the party for in
spection, and proved to be a plain stick,
on which the knots of the limbs wen
visible; on returing it to the conjuror
however, it became a serpent, andwrig
gled about for a few minutes, and thei
suddenly became a stick again. The
trick, which is said to be a comrnoi
one with the Arabs, was repeated sever
al times. The next trick was mon
startling. A black liquid was poure*
into the boy’s hand, and in it, as in
mirror, one of Mr. Lyon’s companion
a native of South Carolina, beheld
rice plantation of his own State, an
his father, who had been dead man
years, riding through the fields oi
horseback.

Prof. Steuckrath writes as follows to
Deßow’s Review :
“The town of Quincy was laid out
in 1825 by Dr. D. L. White, now a resi
dent, about four miles from the court
house. It has been celebrated for its
schools, and also for the enjoyment of
health. Northern invalids have chosen
it in preference to a more exposed situ
ation on the coast. Its distance from
the capital is about twenty-two miles,
and about forty miles from the Gulf of
Mexico. St. Marks is its shipping point
although it has access to Apalachicola
by the Apalachicola river, which is dis
tant only twenty miles. The streets
are laid out at right-angles, and the
main streets are all eighty feet wide.—
The population is from one thousand to
twelve hundred. The public buildings
consist of a Courthouse, Market-house,
Methodist Episcopal, and Presbyterian
churches, the Academy premises, and
Masonic Hall. The Courthouse is a
commodious and neat edifice, with
wings which contain fire-proof walls
for the preservation of the records of
the court. The business here is now
limited, though formerly it was very
large ; upon which there are nine resi
dent lawyers of fair reputation depen
dent. There are also six reputable
physicians, whose practice extends
throughout the county and adjacent
county. Gadsden county is the princi
pal tobacco region of the State. Large
quantities of the leaf-tobacco, for wrap
ping cigars, are made in this county to
the amount of from $200,000 to $300,-
1 000 per year. Most of this tobacco is
f principally sold in the town of Quincy
to the agents of the German houses who
congregate here for the purchase direct
' ly from the planters. This staple be
’ ing sold for ‘cash,’ brings in a large
• amount of ready money before the cot
ton crops can be made available. The
cultivation of this article has exerted a
tine moral influence upon the lower
classes of society, from the fact, that
needing hut little capital, it has stimu
lated their ambitiou to accumulate and
render themselves respectable. In other
countries children are considered an in
v cumbrance to the poor man, but here
f they constitute the basis of his fortune
] which is abundantly illustrcd by many
J living examples throughout the coun-
H try. Many men, who could scarcely
make a living for their families in 1830,
1 when the culture of the Florida leaf
tobacco was introduced by three Virgin
j ia gentlemen, Jos. Smith, Win. S. Gu
peri, and Harris T. Wyatt, are now men
of large wealth. Besides this tobacco,
1 Gadsden county produces a large quan
tity of both the long and short staple
cottons, which sustains a large mercan
i tile business, conducted by about a doz
en establishments. The planters are
making generally as much sugar and
' syrups as are.necessary for domes ic con
- sumption.
‘ ‘ The town is situated on elevated
j ground, surrounded by numerous bills,
giving to it the appearance of an up
country village.

J nection with Albany, in Georgia the

f* provements is carried out, Quincy will

The Frigate Niagara—Scenes on board, I
The officers on board the U. S. Fri- j
gate Niagara, which touched at New
York from Monrovia direct, on Satur- j
day, have furnished quite an interest
ing log of their voyage. We quote as
follows:
strange iiabits.
The strange habits and customs of
these poor creatures were a constant
study and theme of remark among the
officers and men, and at times afforded
no little amusement during the voy
age. We had on board, ns an interpre
ter, one of the crew of the Echo, a Por
tuguese named Frank, by whom alone
we were able to hold communications
with them; he talked in Portuguese,
which some portion of the Africans ap
peared to understand pretty well.
Each morning, when the decks were i
washed down, the occasion was improv- j
ed to give the whole party a cold bath
by playing the ship’s hose upon them,
which they appeared to enjoy in a high
degree, shouting, yelling, jumping and
■ laughing with delight. They appeared
to have a spirit of clanship, and divi
ded themselves into parties for mutual
protection; this was particularly the
case among the boys, who would not
’ tolerate any invasion of their rights;
. their blankets, food and clothing they
’ guarded with great jealousy. On ac
_ count of their thieving disposition,
’ however, there were frequent wrangles,
" but the sentry always prevented them
5 from assuming a serious form. At
night, old sails, hammock and loose
. bedding were spread upon the deck,
“ when they would roll themselves in
j their blankets, and the whole party
crowd into a compact mass for mutual
warmth, with occasionally a black face
or a woolly head protruding, and sleep
until roused up by the morning watch.
' ATTEMPT to drown a witch.
On one occasion a woman, who had
1 the only two infants that were in the
t party, found that one of her children
was sick, and she conceived the notion
i that another woman was a witch, and
r was killing it by her sorcery. She ac
_ cordingly combined witli several others
" of her friends to throw the witch over
‘ board. They got into a furious fight, !
“ and hustled the witch towards a side
port, and had nearly pushed her into
the sea, when the sentry seized and
* pulled her back. The child lived until
’ it was landed, and then died. Future
" pitched battles were only prevented by
placing handcuffs upon the strong-min
a ded women. The redeeming feature of
‘ this contest was the evidence which it
[ afforded of a strong maternal affection
, in the race.
CONTEMPT OF DEATH.
There were no religious rites celebra
ted among the Africans during the 52
J days they were on board, and nothing
in their conduct which indicated the
idea of God or a future state. The
j usual religious rites which were uni
formly observed by the commander
when one of their number died and
was buried, excited no attention from
e them whatever; but as one after an
j other of their comrades wasted away,
1 the stronger would watch for the last
breath, and then snatch his blanket,
g and appropriate it to his own use. Up
t on the occasion of a death, the body—
sometimes two sewed up in one blank
e ct—was placed upon a plank in one of
the gun ports: the ship’s company as-
I sembled upon the quarter deck, when
e Captain Chauncey read the burial ser
service, the inboard end of the plank
was raised, and the body, with a heavy
splash disappeared beneath the waters.

BST A Giver Remedy.—The
Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in !
our human economy a place second only to the
heart, and consequently is one of the greatest
dispensers of health and happiuess, or sickness
and disease. To keep the liver in the proper |
pci+rmance of its duties is to keep the system
in a state of health, and free from all bodily ills. |
I Dr. Sandfof.d\s INVIGORATOR :s a great Regu
| latok of the Liver. It instills into it new life j
and vigor, strengthens it, aud invigorates it, j
curing the fountain from whence so many
streams of sickness flow. We say to all who
are troubled with any derangement of the Liv
er. such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache,
Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to
try I)r. Sanford’s Liver Invigorator. decl-m
Neuralgia.-A gentleman
living in Philadelphia says :
“ In passing through Pittsburgh, some months j
since, I purchased a bottle of BCERHAVE’S HOL* j
LAND BIITERS. It relieved me so much, that
on returning home I bought two more bottles !
from Dr. Dyott, which completely cured mo of 1
Neuralgia. I have recommended the article to j
many of my friends, aud four or five of the mim
her say it cured them. I think that my recom
mendation has done more for its sale in Phila- 1
delphia than your advertising.”

CT From the Missouri De- j
; mocrat.-Upon Prof. O. J. Wood, of St. Louis-'. 1'
fortune has conferred the honor of having dis-j
covered a balsamic preparaiion, which not only I 1
promotes the growth of, and beautiflea the hair
in a high degree, but restores it when it is gone,
or turns it to its origira! co or after it has be- ■
come gray, fastens it to the scalp and effectually
destroys such cutaneous eruptions as may have
been engendered by the use of d es, essential !
oils and other injurious applications. The many !
respectable testimonials which are offered in its j
favor, from every part of the country in which j*
it has been introduced, leaves no loop for a step- j
tic to hang a doubt on. It is supplanting all other j
specifics for the hair, and enjoys a popularity
which no other has ever attained. Buy it—test
it—and rejoice that your attention has been di
reeled to it.
Caution Beware of worthless imitations, as
several are already in the market, called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
fessor Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St Louis,
Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.

jf" The Great Pr oblem i
Solved:—Pß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-!
DIAL—The dyspeptic patiect, whose stomach j
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvcntpowcr, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the |
basis of activity, strength and health. I
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux |
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-1
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terriblelassitudo which proceeds from a lack of i
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain ;
or disability arisingfrom the unnaturalcondition j
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev-;
cry member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
; from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,;
I invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous j
organization.
i Females who have tried it arc unanimous in j
j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
j woman has ever received from the hards of;
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate ar.d astonishing effect upcD the appetite
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
Iflongliie and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless,enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall find immediateaud permanentreli< ffrom
tue use of this incomparable reu >vator. To
1 those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
, tion that they think themselves beyond thercach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
’ Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
ierence to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

flicted :
j I was attacked with the I.lver Complaint, j

the grave. During my sickness I was attended
j by three physicians in our place, but received
!no help. I also tried the various remedies re-j
| commended for such complaints, but they as- i
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was j
persuaded to try WUtar's Balsam of Wild !
Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored j
to better health than I have enjoyed before for j
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsey Perrin.
