Dr. Cavanaugh—Dear Sir : 1 wish hereby to make known to the afflicted that I have heen troubled with the Piles for twenty years or upwards, and at limes most severely. Ana during a recent and exceedingly painful attack,a friend procured a box of vour Naive and asked me to give it a trial. 1 did so Not, however, with the expectation of henefitling my disease, for tmlv, I hsd Iritd so many applications I had lost confidence in ail But in making u.-e cf your Naive, I soon found that it was doing me good ; and really it is ineredile to myself, that with only about two weeks use of your Salve, I am, so far as I can judge, a well man. 1 most cheerfully make this statement, believing it due both to yourself and such us may be afflicted w ith this most trying and painful disease.

Jan 3d, 1857. 32 tf Blank Deeds, Clerk's Executions, Administrator’s Deeds, Jury and witness Summons, Sheriff's Deeds, Attachments, Write* Forthromlng Bonds, &c, for sale. was inaugurated by a dinner given to the late members of the late bazaar committee, and sub sequently by a meeting in the Museum Room, at which were present Lord Lyttelton, Lord Leigh, Sir RobertPeel, M. P.. Mr. Adderley, M. P., Mr. M'Gcachv, the Mayor of Birmingham, Mr. Charles Ratcliff, and immerous friends of the in stitution. The great attraction of the night was promised lecture by Sir Robert Peel on the sub ject of “Moscow,” which proved, upon delivery, to be highly amusing, if not instructive. After appropriate addresses from Lord Lyttel ton and Mr. Adderley, announcing the flattering prospect of “the People's Park and Library.” Sir Robert Peel presented himself, and was loudly cheered. He said that it was only the day before he had read in a public newspaper that lie was expected to appear on that occasion lo address an audience upon tne far distant city of Moscow. His humble services had, however, been, and should be, at the disposal of the public. The bon baronet then proceeded to dilate upon the immediate subject with which his name was as sociated in the programme. He said,—“You are aware that last summer I went in company with many others, to that distant country called Rus sia. I had the proud satisfaction of being con veyed thither on board one of those magnificent vessels which plough the ocean like queens, and gloriously assert the independence and greatness of our country. (Cheers.) I proceeded up the Baltic, where in the year preceding such mighty fleets were assembled. I passt d along the shores of Finland, and arrived within gun shot of that fortress which Sir Charles Napier did not take (Loud cheers, laughter, and hisses.) Some gen tlemen express dissent from what I stale, but I believe it is strictly and literally true. (Laugh ter.) I saw that mighty fortress rising before us. I reflected naturally upon the past and upon the great distinction that might have resulted from any successful operations against it. We then advanced up the Neva, that great and mighty river which flows by St. Petersburg. We arrived at St. Petersburg sufficiently tired by the journey, and expecting to be overcome by the heat. Al though it was in the middle of summer it was l.it- t' fly cold; the weather was very changeable, like everything else in Russia, and I had the greatest difficulty to keep myself warm. St. Petersburg is built on piles, and is always very subject to the east wind. (Laughter.) When the east wind blows St. Petersburg has a chance of being done away with, as the public expected Sir Charles Napier would do away with it (laughter)—at all events, it then stands a good chance of being sunk in the watertf It is not a very magnificent city, and does not strike one by its tine streets aud buildings after all. It lias nothing else hut granite floors with outsides all paint and stucco. Its edifices are a great deception, as are most things else we have heard of in Russia. (Laugh ter.) The Adfniralty is a remarkable building situated next to the Winter Palace, which place is the residence of the Czars. It is in this palace that the Emperor Nicholas lived in the simplest manner, great as was his mind; and it was in a poorly furnished room on the north-east side that he breathed his last. The square before this palace is one of the largest in the world, and the moonlight in the centre is the largest in the world, consisting of a single piece of stone, on the top of which is placed a monument to the Emperor Alex antler, who died in 1825. In the Winter I’alaee are deposited the Crown jewels. I have travelled a good deal aud seen many fine sights, but I never saw anything like the splendid jewels belonging to the Sovereign and people of that Court and country They are something beyond belief.— The crown exhibits a ruby such as was never seen before; the sceptre has the largest emerald in the world; the ball of state has an enormous sapphire; the Empresse’s beautiful crown of pearls contains the largest pearl I ever saw; and the effect produc ed by this congregation of brilliants is something quite magnificent. Iu this palace there is also a number of portraits of distinguished Russians and great generals, among oihers the Duke of Wil'ington. There is likewise a splendid picture by Horace Vernet, illustrating the attack on l’o- laud, one of the most interesting and, at the same time, most bloody episodes in Russian history. (Hear, hear.) Another palace is called tlie IIer-4 mitage. It is, however, nothing like a hermitage, for it is in the middle of the town, aud holds a most famous collection of pictures, originally from his country and known as the Walpole collection. It is a misfortune that uo private individual could be found to secure such a collection for our county; and it is quite out of the question to expect Gov ernments to be liberal on such a matter. (“Hear,” and laughter.) I weot to view the pictures one Sunday afternoon. The man in charge of the col lection pointed my attention to a quantity of works of art, and said, “Here is the Kartell col lection.” I said “I thought they were all taken by our people” (laughter,) to which he replied, “Ob no; they were removed by order of the Em peror two years ago.” That shows the premedita tion of the man. (Cheers/ Those pictures had been removed at great cost and difficulty from Kerteh to St. Petersburg two years before; and this proceeding leaves little doubt on the mind that ttu re was a great design against the liberties of Europe. (“Hear,” and cheers.) The next palace is called the Marble Talace — everything there is deception, and in this instance there is almost another deception. It is called the Marble Palace because it is built of granite.— (Laughter.) The Marble Palace is the residence of that “frank and opened hearted sailor;’ Con stantine. How I laughed when I read that des cription of Constantine's character. (Laughter.) You ntay remember what has been said about the distinguished Admiral Constantine. With till respect to Lis Highness, I must say that I never saw a man who gave me less of the impression of a “frank aud open-hearted sailor.” (Cheers and laughter) It is all soft sawder yon know.— (Laughter.) There is another great palace, the Taurida. It was given by Catherine to the re markable character called Potemkin—remarkable for the power he acquired over that most powerful Empress. Potemkin secured to Russia that very spot, the Crimea, the Crimea, in which so much precious blood and treasure has been lately ex pended by the allies. Potemkin caused the Khan of the Crimea to be assassinated, and then attached that border of the Black Sea to Russia. It was lie who first raised the post with the well-known in scription, “La Route de Constantinople —an in scription which lias ever been the anxious desire of the Northern Czars to carry out, and which re mains for us ever to resist. (Cheers.) Having finixhed the palaces, I will turn to a more serious subject, the churches The Izaak Church is the chief Church of Russia, and 200,00CL was spent in preparing for it a foundation of piles betore a sing'e stone was raised. It was commenced 19 years ago. and is not yet finished. In the interior are eight magnificent malachite columns, given by a rich Russian proprietor, Dentidoff, and valued at 1,030,000 roubles. There was not much to keep us in St. Petersburg, for we were so horribly* fleeced by our inkeeper. (Laughter.) I have lived a great deal in that way, but I never in my life came across a matt with such enormous ideas of the principles of “doing.” (Loud laughter.) 1 am a man who am satisfied with little but our dinner every night cost us 6!/. sterling. (Roars of laughter.) It was perfectly monstrous. If I had not heen in Russia I should have lived with the police, but I gave up that notion after witness ing tiie manner in which Russian constables knock people about. (Laughter.) The police use a sort of great antique fork, which they stick into their unfortunate victims, and then leave them on the ground, instead of taking them to a lock up or something of that kind. (Laughter.) \Vc were glad to get away to Moscow, that being the great goal of our anticipations. When we got to the station to stait off our our luggage was so enormous that the station could not hold it. We took a most extraordinary quantity of clothes, an>l all sorts of fancy dresses, and as there were 20 of us, with 20 servants, and more than 20 other attendants, you may imagine what a tremendous amount ot moveables we carried about. At last we started, leaving behind what wo could not take. In Russia the trains are in the habit of stop ping every quarter of an hour, and remaining a quarter of an hour when they do stop. (Laugh ter.) When we arrived at Moscow we were wearied, hut not hungry, having had plenty to eat, for the quarter of an hour stoppages were ap parently made for the express purpose of eating. (Laughter.) We had most charming apartments in the carriages. English railway directors are stingy about their accommodation, but not so with the Russians, for we had every convenience that a well regular establishment could possibly desire. (Hear.) After passing the night tolerably well, we reached Moscow, and found 10,000 treops drawn up at the station, together with an enor mous quantity of footmen. We had just arrived with the imperial jewels in the same train, and it was thought necessary to surround them with this enormous pomp. I had made atf agreement with General Sourochokoff, a common man, whose whole anxiety was to impose upon people who trusted iu him. At my command he nad sent for me to the station a magnificent carriage with four magnificent gray horses. I hastened at once to our dwelling near the English embassy, accom panied by my wife. Lord Stafford and Lis wife, the Duke of Newcastle’s son, aud Lord Shaftsbury’s son. Sourochokoff charged me 1001. for the hire of each horse, and, although I strongly objected to the impost. I was compelled to pay his exorbitant demand. We all had enormous establishments, and lived at an enormous rate. As the great fair was being held at Nishini, and that being a matter thoroughly unique in itself, six or seven of us de ft rmined to vis't it. I went to the postmaster and found him one mass of decorations. I was quite frightened with his pontp and ceremony. He gave tne what he called *u official, but a man I should have taken for a general officer, so splendid was his uniform, (laughter;) he was to guide us. aud see that everything was done a la Rottsce. We started in two carriages anu six. on the 2d of August for Nislmi, situated on the Volga, and just had one week to do everything in. We went from Moscow without provisions, thinking we should find plenty on the road. We could not speak one word to the man who took us in charge, aud of course had to leave ourselves entirely in his hands. He took us at a tremendous pace. We travelled on a road as smooth as Hyde Park fioni Moscow to Nishtui, 4eti miles, in 28 hours— 15,16, and 17 miles per hour frequently. We were in the second carriage, and I once made signs to our richly-dressed director that we were not going fast enough, and that the first carriage was outstripping us. He immediately rose from his seat, dragged the man from his box. and cast him to the ground, nearly killing him. Laughter.) I took care not to comp'nin again. (Cheers.) There was no postillion ready for one of the six horses when we stopped at one post-house, but the director in gold insisted that we must have six horses and six riders, and, to supply the vacancy, rushed into the crowd which had collected, seized tlie first person, put him upon the horse, and start ed off again. The man had no stockings or shoes on, hut that did not matter (laughter): lie soon got into a dreadful state from riding, and dropping off the animal The horses frequently became tired, and when tin y fell down exhausted were left by the roadsido. The postboys suffered the same treatmnt when they became unable to perform their duties (Laughter.) I do not think I ever enjoyed travelling so in my life. (Langter.) We slipped quantities of money into their hands, and they were well contented with us. When we ar rived at Nishni, which, under ordinary circum stances, number 30,000 inhabitants, but at the fair times contains 400.000 and 500,000, we could not for some time get lodgings; and I assure you that, after travelling at that tremendous pace for 28 hours in carriages without springs, and without tasting food, we were thoroughly worn out.— Eventially we ail got into a room; we were com pelled to rough it, anti shook down in an inn we found there. (Laughter.) Our arrival caused a great sensation, for they had never perhaps seen an English face before. The following night some of our party went to the theatre. The Governor was there, and seeing strangers, inquired who we were, and as soon as he ascertained, he treated us with the greatest hospitality. During the whole time I was in Russia, I never saw such a brick as the Governor was. (Roars of laughter ) While quietly walking over an immense bridge at Nishni, smoking a cigar, I was seized by a Cos sack, who nearly wrung my neck off, and who holding his gn at weapon over my head, took me prisoner along the streets. (Laughter.) I could not speak a word to the fierce soldier, and was in something like the same position as the English man in France, of whom Hood or Matthews sung: “Never go to France unless you know tlioir lingo, “Or else you will, like me, repent of it by jingo— “Staring like a fool, silent as a mummy, “There I stood, looking ’nation like a dummy.” (Bursts of merriment.) We had nothing to sleep on, hut had plenty to drink. I never saw a man w ith such a capacity for drinkingas this brick of a Governor [laughter;] and no matter how much champaign** he drank, I did not notice that he ever appeared affected by it (Laughter.) He gave ns a Jetc, on the Volga, and we had an excellent op portunity of seeing the scenery ot this fine river, which flows into the Caspian sea. What delight ed us most was going into the fair. We saw there Kalmucks and lovely Circassians, the latter being particularly engaging, and 1 was nearly engaged twice by some of them. (Laughter and cheers.) Nishni is the tea emporium ot Europe. We saw thousands of pounds of tea brought there. I brought several cases home with me, and paid 34s. per lb for them upon the spot. I also saw the people from Bodhara with their precious stones, and purchased from them some torquoises, which 1 feel sure would realize in this cou ntry all that General Sourockokoffrobbed me of. (Laughter.) I am always anxious to recover, and never like to be done.” [Renewed mirth.] After alluding to a purchase of cabiare, which cost 1D0/. per pound before it readied Moscow, and was nasty even then, and mentioning the various races, and tlie articles they ofl'ered for sale at the grand fair. Sir Robert observed—“I saw among tlie crowded and varfod people men from Manchester and Birming ham. a Staffordshire yoeman and a Scotch lassie, as I gazed upon them I felt proud of my country. [Cheers.] We hurried back because we knew that on the24th the Emperor was to en ter Moscow, and after a rapid drive of 28 hours ar rived in the Imperial city at 5 o'clock in the morn ing. Shortly after that hour tin* Emperor and Empress arrived at Moscow in grand state—noth ing could exceed the magnificence of the Em press’s carriage. The Emperor Alexander is a fine- looking man. bis appearance and the expression of his physiognomy being mild—in fact, nothing des perate-looking about him. The homage he re ceives from his subjects is God-like, and such as could scarcely be conceived in a free country. At the unearthly hour of six o'clock in the morning 1 had to dresspn uniform to commence a series of pre sentations which lasted every mortal hour of the whole week. The fatigue we underwent in this duty was enormous; indeed, so great was it that our uniforms hung about us, and we all lost that reputable rotundity which so peculiarly character izes Englishmen. [Loud laughter ] We were presented r.t the coronation by Count Morny, the French Embassador, a spick and span man of considerable aplomp, and who, by the way, is one of the greatest speculators in the world. He spe culates in everything and bought a lot of pictures to sell again and make a profit of. Next to Count Mornev stood the representative of n country which deserves the sympathies cf all civilized people, Sardinia [Cheers]—General Da- bormida, Then caine the Ambassador of the smallest kingdom in Europe, Belgium, the Prince de Ligne, the very picture of swelling insignifi cance, so swelling, indeed, that he could not for the life ^ him look down from the contemplation of his own importance. Then there was that tine specimen of a man. Prince Esterliazy, the repre sentative of Austria. Then the representative of Naples, of whom, in charity, I will say nothing.— Then the Turkish representative, a clever Turk.— Of course he was not admitted into the church. At the same time, you could not look at him without i'eeiingjthat he was the representative of an effete and worn out nation. It was impossible for Turkey to long resist the aggression of Russia without assistance. Then came the Papal representative, and finally, that of this country, Lord Granville thati|whom no one could more thoroughly represent a true Englishman. He was the representative of the most powerful nation in the world, yet plainly dressed, When I saw him standing amid the decorated group around him I was remined of the lines of Burns— “A king ca:t make a belted knight, “A duke, a lord, and a’ that; “But an honest man’s abune his might— “A man’s a man for a'that.” [Loud cheers.] Then casting the eye across the cathedral you saw the distinguished ^generals of the Russian army,—Todieben, Gortsehakoff, and Others,—and, just beside the Emperor, Count Or- loff. I believe lie was in the palace when PauV was assassinated, and has beenfthe favorite of three great Emperors. He possesses quality of heart and hospitality for which I am much indebted.— As the Empress entered she fell flat on the floor, 1 supposed by accident. It was, however, to kiss some sacred stone or other; and then she came in with her hair dishevelled, looking like Norma iu the opera. The ceremony then took place, and Emperor and Empress were duly crowned. At the moment when the 1* mpet or placed his crown on his head tlie emperial ermine tell to his feet; while that of the Empress fell from her head and was broken to peiees, These accidents in Rome would have been deemed ill oinev*s. In the even ing tin ir Majesties went out to seethe illumina tions, which lasted three days, and were most magnificient, so much so, as to make one wonder where the Russians got their supply of candies.— Then there was a review of 140,000 men, where I figured in tlie full Uniform of a captain of the Bur ton Yeomanry, who would be well pleased to see their commander in the imperial cortege. There were Iroops of all the tribes of Russia. Cossacks and Circassians, and so hostile are some of them that two regiments turned their sham fight into earnest. There was a grand charge of 40.000 cavalry en masse towards the spot I was standing on. Many of the Russian soldiers had helmet* with bullet marks; but I suspect they must have been of their own making, or llu-ir heads wouid not have escaped at the same time. [Laughter.] The next grand spectacle was an enormous din ner. There is an account of an enormous feast somewhere in the Bible, which I looked for and could’ut find, and which must have been very like the one I beheld at Moscow. Unfortunately the officer who had the management of the feast thought the people would uot behave thems-dves without a rehearsal, the result of which was that it was all demolished prematurely. Of course he was tried by before a drum-head court martial, and if he did not lose his head, was, at all events disgraced. Then we had a grand chasse. In this chasse at least 8D0 horseman were present, besides about twenty men blowiug enormous horns, and some 20 dogs They started hares, and they start ed wolves; but all the 800 horseman, with the dogs and the trumpeters, could never manage to run down one of them. In fact, they no more under stand the chase than you understand what serfs are. Lastly they had an eagle hunting, in which one RUrigish c^rri?4 5»n eagle on his fist, and then having started a fox, tlie eagle flew alter him, but always missed him; the chase never extended over more than 20 yards of ground.” Tlie Hon. baronet next spoke of the immense size of the great bell in the courtyard of the Kremlin, 21 feet high, 22 feet in circutnfence, and weigiiing 450,- 000 lb., while our Great Tom of Lincoln only weighed 10,0001b.: and the greatest bell in France 3(5,DOO lb. The Russian bell had never heen rais ed, and when he asked a man why it had not been elevated he said ii was too heavy, and when an at tempt was made it broke the scaffolding and fell 100 yards into the ground, “but with respect to tills latter point, added Sir Robert, my informant must have been mistaken.’ [Loud laughter.]— The bon. baronet next alluded to the battle of Bor odino; w hen Napoleon’s army of 120,000 men de feated a Russian army of a like number, under Kntusoff, leaving 80,000 men dead on the field, and in vigorous language described his feeling as be gazed upon Moscow upon the scene of the great contest. He went on to say, look- i»g back to history, aud contemplating the present position of the Russians, they could not but feel that they were a brave people, who. under a better government and more liberal institutions, might become a mighty and flourish ing nation. “What I wish to impress upon you is,” said Sir Robert, “that you should not throw away your money to improve the internal condi tion of a country w hich will turn the benefits you confer to their own advantage. [Cheers.]— 1 know not whether I have afforded some little en tertainment, but if I have 1 ant well pleased, and shall be glad to devote my little abilities at any time to your service. I would close my observa tions with this sentiment, which cannot fail to he that of every one who hears me;—great as Russia is, when I contemplate the power of my own coun try, I would ten thousand times sooner repose in the lap of Britannia the humblest citizen in the land than own the allegiance or bow the knee to the power that sways the sceptre iu Russia. The lion, baronet resumed his seat amid vehe ment cheering, and the meeting shortly afterwards separated. Old Joe drank the Aquafortis. Tn the pretty village of Haddonfield, New Jersey, some years ago, there resided an old fellow, who was familairlv kuoivn in the town and country around as “Old Joe.” He had no particular occupation except doing “chores” or errands—nor any particular location. He ate where- ever he could get a bite, and slept where* ever lie could find a lodging place. Joe was a regular old toper, and Jersey lightn ing had no more effect on his insides than so much w ater. He generally made his headquarters at the lower tavern, for there were two in the town. He would sleep aud dose away the afternoon on an old bench in the corner of the bar-room, but always awake when there was any drinking going on. When he was not asked to drink, he would slip to the bar and drain the glasses of the few drops left in them. One afternoon Dr. Bolus, the village physician, was in the tavern mixing up a preparation. He placed a tumbler half full of uyunfoitis on the bar, and turn ed round to mix some other ingredients. A few moments after he had occasion to use the poisonous drug, when he found, to his dismay, that the tumbler had been drained to the last drop. “Mr. Wiggins,” ex claimed the doctor in affright, to the land lord, “what has become of that aqua fortis I put ou the bar a few momeuts ago?” “I don’t know,” replied the land lord, “unless Old Joe slipped in and drank it.” In this suspicion they w r erc soon confirm ed, for the hostler said he had seen Old Joe swallowing the fatal draught. The doctor, knowing that he must certainly die after such a dose, instituted a search at once. After some hours spent in looking through the barns, outhouses and woods, for three or four miles around the village, Joe was abandoned to his fate. It was a cold night, and the village topers assembl ed around the blazing hickory fire in the bar-room, nothing was thought of or talked of but the unfortunate endof poor old Joe. Some four days had elapsed and nothing having been heard from Old Joe, they all came to the conclusion that he was a goner. The doctor, about this time, had occasion to visit a patient some eight miles distant. What was his surprise, xvhen about five miles from the village, to see Old Joe in front of a farmer’s house split ting wood. “Why, Joe,” said the doctor riding up to the fence, “I thought you were dead and buried before this?” “Why, what made you think that, Doctor?” said Joe leauing on his axe han dle. “Didn’t yon drink that dose I left on old Wiggins’ bar a few days since?” “Yes,” replied Joe, half ashamed to own it. “Do you know what it was?” asked the doctor. “No!” returned Joe. “Why, it was aquafortis—enough to kill a dozen men!” “Well, now, doctor, do you know* that I thought there w*ere something queer about that darned stuff, for after I drank it, every time I blowed my nose, I burned a hole in my pocket hankerebief.” Alabama Wine.—We had the pleasusea few days since in company with some half dozen citizens, to sample some specimens of a very r superior wine, from the vineyard of our enterprising and public spirited fel low citizen, Dr. L'lric. This wineis the vintage of September last and the grapes the first crop from the vines the third year from planting. The wine is the pure un adulterated juice of the Catawba grape, of a beautiful amber color, yetas clear as crys tal with an aroma indescribably rich and ful ly equal to Mr. Longworth’s Dry Catawba of three years vintage. The specimens with those of Mr. Axt and others, that we have sampled the present year, assure us that the very best wine can be made in the “Sunny South.” Nay, more,the day will come, and that quickly, when in comparison with our wine the name of the “M ine ot the Rhine” will be a by word of reproach and classed only with the cold climated wines of the Ohio—Cotton Planter and Soil. Eloquent Passage.—The light of the lamp was dying away in the socket; the midnight clock swung heavily aloft, and its brazen tones sounded loudly on the frozen air. It was the hour when disembodied spirits walks and when murderers, like the stealthy wolf, prowl for their prey. The lonely watcher shuddered as he heard a slight noise at the door. Big drops stood upon his pale brow, the door gently opened—and in came a strange cat. Bachelors.—The Cleveland Herald ad dresses this to the old hachelors: “If our Maker thought it wrong for Adam to live single when there was not a woman on earth, how criminally guilty are old bach elor, with the world full of pretty girls? Norel Shipment.—Fifty hives of bees were received in New York recently by the Erie railroad for shipment to California. They came from Sullivan county, and the owner goes out with them in the George Law on the 30th. The Purchase of Fonthill —The Sisters of Charity in New - York having, purchased of Edwin Forrest,the tragedian, his Fonthill property of 54 acres on the Hudson river, for 100,000, that gentleman, it is stated, made them a donation of $5,000 at the time of making their first payment. BsrisMirly Takes fa. Cap. Archibald Weston was a noble specimen of a fine old American gentle man. He kept the handsomest horses, owned the best estate in the. whole coun try, and^his heartiness of manner and cordiality of soul, made him bt^oved and honored by the constituents who lie had repeatedly represented in the halls of the Legislature of the State. But Captain Archibald had; like all other men, his weak points, and sometimes he xvould meet an unscrupulous neighbor who would not hesitate for a moment, if opportunity offered, to turn them to his advantage.— One hot day, as he was returning home ward from a visit to a distant field, with a heavy new overcoat, which he had taken with him in anticipation of rain, folded across his arm, he overtook a sallow faced young man, who was walking in the same direction, and accosted him with— “Here, Jim, you just carry my coat along a little way, until we reach my gate.” Much to his astonishment, Jim made not a word of objection; but took the coat and walked along beside him in si lence. Pretty soon, however, his pace slackened and he began to lag a little be hind. “Hollo!” said the Captain, “if you can’t walk faster than that, I’ll take the coat myself.” “Why, you see, sir,’ said Jim, apologeti- callv, “I’ve just come from the fever hospital, and I ain’t very strong yet. I reckon you’d better carry it. “The fever hospital?shouted the Cap tain, who entertained a holy horror of all contagous diseases. “Did you come from the fever hospital?” “To be sure I did,” said Jim; and his eye twiknled mischeviously; “I came out this morning, Here’s your coat, sir.” “Keep oft? keep off!” cried Captain Weston, his fat frame quivering with ex citement. “If you come near me, I’ll knock you down. “The fever hospital! you rascal; why did’nt you tell me before? Don’t you touch me! take that coat away! burn it, sir! Never come near me again. Oh, Lord, ob. Lord! what if I’ve caught the fever! Be oft', you villian.be oft?” Poor Jim took to bis heels with the coat, and the Captain hurried home to dose him self. The best of the joke, however, was that Jim had not been inside of the hospital at all—having only walked there to carry a basket of eggs for the doctor’s wife. But the ^aptain never saw his coat again,*•* and lie lias never to this day heard the last of “that fever.” The Opium Trnde. The able correspondent of the Journal ofCommeree, in a recent letter from Paris, has the following in reference to the ini quitous Opium Trade, to sustain which Great Britain waged the desolating war with China: “You may have remarked that a public meeting was held last week, in London, for the purpose of denouncing the opium traffic with China, and the smuggling in particular. The Earl of Shaftsbury was to preside, but accident prevented him from being present. His substitute in the chair was Mr. Thomas Chambers, member of Parliament, thoroughly informed as to the traffic. Major General Alexander, who long served in India—a gentleman who personally known to me as of the strongest intelligence and deep religious spirit—communicated the opinions of the Earl and his own, which are, that the trade, as now pursued, is corrupt and ruin ous, inconsistent with sound and fair com merce, with the Christian religion and common honesty. The Chairman address ed the meeting, declaring first: that the suppression of the contraband opium traffic concerned tlie whole civilized world. Iu the year IS00, the East India Company made it a monopoly of their own, and pro hibited all private culture, manufacture, trade aud transmission. The result was that the Government had to maintain a large army of officials, as inspectors and spies, and a general practice of fraud and perjury followed. The East India Com pany derived a large income from the growth and sale, while the unfortunate ryots who raised it were* left to starve That income was of many millions ster ling. The traffic had greally reduced the consumption of British produce in China; the Chinese government was sincere in proscribing it by law, and in the constant ly expressed wish for entire suppression. The opium ships were all armed; an armed opium clipper had lately been fitted out at Aberdeen; the opium traders, were in fact, armed and manned like pirates. The Rev. Canon Miller, a distinguished divine, spoke next, and moved, as the first resolu tion, that the tratfic was contrary to. the laws of God, an impediment to the spread of the Gospel in China, and injurious to the social condition of the people. He further stigmatised it as 'one of cowardice, in treating the helpless Chinese after a fash ion that the country dare not deal with the United States of America.’ The meeting resolved finally to petition Parlia ment on the subject. The petition is short, pithy, energetic. The London Morning Post of tlie 15th, found fault with the meeting, confessing, however that opium smoking was a great vice, and was exten sively indulged in China, partly through the enterprise of British merchants. But ‘it is a gigantic branch of British com merce;’ the successful termination of the war of 1S41-2 had given a fresh impulse to the trade, now more prosperous than ever. The estimated value of the opium imported into China in 1853, was five mil lions sterling, half of which was paid in bullion. ‘Our ships are enabled,' adds the Ministerial organ, ‘by means of well understood tariff, to land their chests with out serious risk. ‘Wherever,’ the organ continues, “there is a demand for the de bauching drug, thither xvill the British merchants take a supply.’ The Post re turned to the vindication or extenuation on the 16th, and referred to a very able tract written by Major General Alexan der, and issued by on Edinburgh Mission ary Society, against the traffic. The in terest of commerce and revenue cannot constitute a moml justification. More of human watchedness and abasement—great er mortality—have been produced by the abuse of opium, among the 300,000,000 of Chinese, than by the African Slave trade —since the beginning of the 19th century. Artificial Fuel.—The English journals speak in terms of warm commendation of anew kind of fuel, the ingredients of which are simply coal dust and coal tar pitch, in certain proportions, amalgamated by chemi cal means peculiar to the indenture. It is stated that two hundred tonr <-f this fuel will perform the same work, in generating steam, as three hundred tons of coal, 9uch as is generally used; it also produces but a very small proportion of clirkers, and is consequently less liable to choke and de stroy the furnace bars and boilers than coal; and the ignition is so complete that comparatively little smoke and only a small quanity of ashes are produced. Clergymen in New York and Brooklyn, count up strong when all are enumerated. The Observer publishes a list from which we learn there are 96 Episcopal, 101 Presbyterian, 44 Dutch Reformed^ 54 Baptist, and 34 Congregational. 1 hese tdlve denominations number 325 clergymen in the two cities. The number in the other denominations probably equal the above.
