From Central America The Panama
Riot.
The Panama Star, in its steamer edition, dated

„ York, arrived at Panama, hut owing to the

■.pmselves of the delay to procure refreshment, j
the hotels and eating houses in the neigh- ;
iod of the station M ere filled to excess, whilst j
vendors of fruits, spirits, refreshments, Ac., j
• all busily engaged in supplying the demands 1
jiae upon tliem.
Everything went on quietly until about six |
ck, when, according to the most reliable ac- j
a passenger, rather the worse for liquor, j
:.to a difficulty with one of these periputhetic !
•rs, drew his revolver, and fired at him. The
i nstance has been variously stated ; some as
that the negro drew his knife first, or other
provoked the quarrel. The crowd, asts usual !
..• ? r such circumstances, immediately sought I
iu flight.
The man who tired the shot being seen shortly ;
: rtvards iu the bar-room of the Ocean Hotel, an 1
i.s’riminate attack Mas made upon the party as

ychettes used, and gradually the affray became j
jeneral.

vended their ammunition, could only return a

police force, the national guard, (every man

Destructive Conflagration—Los* Over

Philadelphia, May 1.--A terribly destructive
fire broke out last night in this city about twelve
, o'clock. It commenced in Jessup i Moore’s paper
M-arehouse on North street, below Sixth, and ex
• tended rapidly into Commerce street, consequence
; of a sharp North-west Mind; thence the flames
spread over Market street,|consnming all the build
ings on the eastern side of 6th to Market street.
The stores burnt on Market street are Bagbv A
Woodward, grocers; Wilcox, Rodgers A Fodley,
straw goods dealers; Levick, Raisen A Co., boot
and shoe firm ; Fairoank’s patent scales store; W r .

goods or furniture.
On Commerce street were C. C. Davis, paper ;
maker; Tenck A Sons, grocers; Carter, coopei |
shop; Myener A Supples, box makers; Sam
Croft, coppersmith.

The Railroads of llurope.
The great railroad line from Paris to Marseilles,
a distance of live hundred and thirty-five miles, is
now completed, except the bridges at Lvons across
the two rivers, the Saone and the Rhone, at tin
junction of which the city stands. These bridges,
when finished, will be as fine specimens of work
manship as can any where be found. The one
across the Rhone is already near done, built of
cast iron, and it presents a most beautiful and
picturesque view us seen from a point about a hah
a mile above it. The piers of the bridge across
the Saone are now building in water that is forts
or fifty feet deep.
Great cylinders of cust iron are first planted on
the bottom of the river, by some means I know
not boss-, which reach above the surface < f the wa
ter. From these the water is pumped out, and the
workmen descend in them as in a svell and carry
on the work of rearing the piers from the hot ton.
of the riser. The bridge across the Saone is ap
proached by a tunnel five or six miles in length !
How far if is below the surface of the earth I can
not tell ; but it is no uncommon thing in this
country to travel for a mile or two at a time
through a tunnel, and that, too, at the rate of üboui
forty miles per hour ! But the railroads in this
country are so delightful; there is scarcely any
perceptible motion.
The roads are beautifully graded and then cov
ered svith pebbles or small fragments of rock,
pounded in so as to make them firm. The sides
of the embankments are turfed. The tracks are
always double, so that there is no danger of colli
sion. The coaches are elegant, and the whole
management of the road is conducted with tie
strictest reference to the convenience, comfort and
safety of the passengers. Travelling by rail in
England, and especially on the continent, is much
more pleasant and vastly safer than in the United
States. The express and the direct trains, as they
are called, 'make but few stoppages on the long
routes, and ordinarily not more than one or two
minutes at a station. Then every thingis so quiet.
There is no bustle or noise at the stations.
In obtaining tickets hut one person can approach
at the same time, and he must get his change and
retire before another can apply. In a word, there
is a perfect system about every thing. The coaches
are not like ours; they are divided into apartments
that resemble elegantly furnished private carria
ges. On the continent there are eight seats in
these apartments; in England only six. The firs;
class on the continent is far superior in point of
comfort to the first class in England. In England
they have no means of warming the coaches in
cold weather. In France they warm them by
means of cylinders of hot water, which are chang
ed two or three times during the night or day.
Thev keep the coach very comfortable.

How to Cook Shad. —Shad are excellent when
baked, either on a board, which is the best, or by j
the following mode : Stuff them with a seasoning I
made of bread crumbs, butter, salt, pepper, and [if j
agreeable) parsley and spices. Put the fish in a
baking dish, with a cupful of water and a lump of |
butter. Bake for three quarters of an hour to an j
hour. Shad broiled is also excellent; but it is j
spoiled bv frying, and it loses nearly till its fine
flavor. This being n moist fish, it should never be j
boiled. Those who never ate a baked or broiled j
shad know nothing of that excellence which we ]
claim for this fish above all others.

TO THE CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA.
J WOULD call your attention to mv new pre
paration, known as “BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REM
MEDY.” This medicine is anew medical com
pound, and is the result of long practice, exten
sive observation, and close study of all diseases
having their origin in a disordered state of stom
ach, and adapted to every stage ol these diseases,
from their incipient symptom to those in which they
have assumed a Chronic form; and although blit
yet in its infancy, has gained a notoriety and repu
tation very seldom attained by anv “ patent” pre
paration. This Remedy is no quack nostrum, got
up to gull the people, and fleece them out of their
money, but a medicine, which, together with the
treatment prescribed to accompany the taking of
the medicine, has the sanction of 1 curs of success
ful application in private practice, and will not fail
to euro the most stubborn case of Dyspepsia, no
matter of how long standing, or how severe it may
be, providing the directions are closely followed
out. It was not suddenly hit upon, nor dreamed
of, but is the accretion of facts and experiments
collected in the daily rounds of duty as a practi
i»g Physician, and is given to the public in a popu
lar form, iu the hope, as in the belief, that it will
not fail in giving relief to the sufferer from Dys
pepsia, and all other diseases having their orifriu
m the stomach, in any instance when the directions
are properly attended to. It has received the high
est encomiums from the first physicians throughout
the North and South it has been tried, recom
mended and certified to by some of the most emi
nent jurists and statesmen in the country, all of
which shall appear iu due time. Physicians of
large practice are now using it and relying upon
it alone in these diseases in their practice, and re
commend it to their friends as worthy their best
confidence.
It is entirely dissimilar to any and every nrepar
tion of the kind now before the people. The ori
ginator, entertaining views and opinions somewhat
at variance with the prescribed notions among
medical men generally, as regards the nature ol
these diseases, has in this preparation brought to
gether medical agents of known utility and worth,
iu the form of a m-vv combination, making a com
pound altogether and entirely new, and one that
will not fail in effecting a cure, if directions aix
followed and persevered in. The undersigned is
well aware that the same encouragement Ims been
given, and the same promises made, over and over
again, by manufacturers of patent medicines, as
regards their different preparations, and as vouch
er for the curative qualities of this preparation,
and for the purpose also of giving additional
weight to whatever he may say as regards this new
preparation, be would beg to refer to the fact, that
be is the originator, manufacturer and proprietor
of the well known “ Jacob’s Cordial,” the cura
tive properties of w bichip Cholera, Dysentery and
Diarrhea, are now being proclaimed by thousands
in every section of the country, and as being all
that he ever said of it.
The undersigned does not profess to be a philan
thropist, or that he is uninfluenced by considera
tions of pecuniary profit m placing the Remedy be
fore the people, but lie dot ? know that while he mav
be realizing a pecuniary profit, fellow-sufferers will
realize that which is of more worth to them than
the wealth of Indin.
Dyspepsia, like Gout, may be said to b« .1 fash
ionable disease; it more readily than any other, in
various of its forms, and to a greater extent, find
it- victims in tiio wealthy and aristocratic circles,
especially' in large cities, unit I 's insidious work
ings arc often the real, though undiscovered cause
ot the sallow cheek, the dull, heavy eves, and gen
crel inertia—indisposition to either mental or phy
sical effort, which are erroneously atiributed to
other causes.
Scenes of luxurious ease are not,' however, alone
the haunts of this destroyer of the h< altli ami en
joyment of myriads of mankind, Other conditions
of life there are in which it revels over faded and
emaciated forms, and dispirited and despairin':
hearts. The sedentary labors of the coun'ing
house, and the study, not less than the 111'ense ex
citement and irregularities of busier occupations
of mercantile life, are promotive of it; each daily
adding to the number of its subjects. But our
(that is the physician and his patients) object is
not, having once discovered the disease, so much
to trace it back to its source, as to remove it from
where we find it, and to establish a healthful and
vigorous action of the various organs, by use of
the proper agencies, and to restore to their natural
functions these organs which had been perverted
bv disease. For all
NERVOUS SUFFERERS,
This preparation, with its accompanytngdirections
for treatment, are peculiarly applicable; and if the
former is taken anathelatter closely complied with
it will not fail of curing.
Also, to those suffering from DISEASE OF TIIE
I IVT.R, it is particularly recommended, and most
admirably adapted. In WEAK AND DEBILITA
TED SYSTEMS, it will be found as possessing tonic
properties to a pre-eminent degree, and very ad
mirably adapted to a large portion of the female
sex, whose debilitated and worn out constitutions
require an artificial restorer
In using this Remedy, its beneficial effects may
be looked for at once. It will begin to relieve, and
the patient will know that recovery has commenc
ed within forty-eight or seven!v-two hours, or, at
farthest, by the time he has taken the contents of
one package. To those trying the effect of this
Remedy, I would prnpoed a test that will demon
strate to the patient that he is being benentted.
If it is used in a case of Dyspepsia, where pain
or other distressing feelings'attend the taking of
food upon the stomach, 1 suggest that the patient, !
after using the Remedy for three or four days, and
following closely the other directions, partake
of some articles of food which he had known pre
viously to disagree with him, and he will discover
that it no longer produces the disagreeable effect.
Sufferers from Dyspepsia, nervous sufferers, inva
lids from disease of the Liver, and from broken,
worn out and debilitated constitutions, trv one !
package; follow out closely all the accompanying 1
directions, and prove the truth or falsity of what
I have said of the Remedy. I would, "however,
remark, that unless you determine to take the medi
cine and follow out all directions ns given, 1 pre
fer you would let it alone entirely, and not huv it ;
preferring much rather to go without your money
than have ton take it without deriving" benefit

MELL’S PATENT PLOW STOCK !~
T THE undersigned has invented and patented
u most valuable improvement in the PLOW
STOCK—the county rights for which he desires to
sell. He prefers to let others speak its praise, and
therefore introduces the following certificates, from
two planters, well and favorably known in the
community in which they reside. He might in
troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will
speak for itself whenever examined.
JAMES B. MELL,
Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga.
This is to certify that I have, with mv own hands,
thoroughly tested the newly invented’Plow Stock
of James B. Mell, Esq. In’point of simplicitv and
perfections I have neversecn or used its equal. In
it is combined every thiug that 1 could wish in a
Plow Stock., and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest
and the best that lias ever been offered to the pub
lic. I speak from having used it with mv own
hands. I was raised to folloiv the plow, and' think
that I know how one ought to run. I would cheer
fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to
point out to me one single fault in it. It is' easier
upon the horse and the plowman than any that I
have ever used.
The principle upon which you regulate the depth
of the Plow is so simple, and vet so perfect, as to
commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt
ed to any* kind oi Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just
as light as any could desire it to be. I would re
commend to any and all, if they wish the best and
cheapest Plow Stock, w ithout hesitation to get Mr
James B. Mell’s. D \V. Wilson.
Peilfield, Oil., April 15, 1856.
In company with several others, I. this dav, wit
nessed the trial of Mr. James B. Hell's Plow Htock,
by Mr. 1). VV. Wilson, and cheerfully state that all
present were fully satisfied that it floes everything
as stated above. I would, moreover, state that!
have been using them on my farm for several
months, and every day serves to confirm me in the
opinion of tlm superiority.of Mr. Hell’s Plow Stock
to all others now in use. Thomas P. .Tanks,
