From tie London Spectator, April 19. The Kuataii Warrant. \\ last we have the Queen’s warrant for erect in the island of Ruatan and certain other islands in the Bay of Honduras into a colonv, under tin name of “ Bay Islands." It is a document of pe euliar interest at present. The warrant discloses tn us the existence of a Constitution simple in its provisions. The whole is comprised in four folio pages, and in twenty-eight paragraphs or clauses, ; with a preautble. The powers of government art intrusted to the Governor of Jamaica; who is con- j stituted Governor of the Bay Island Colony, and ] authorized to act as sovereign, without any further instructions from England, in the making' of laws ■ tin the colony and framing (he financial estimates; tn alienate the Royal lands to private persons; to ' present qualified persons for ordination by the Bishop ot Jamaica to officiate in churches, chapels, j or any other ecclesiastical benefices; to constitute | and appoint judges and officer* of justice; to sus- ! pend officers commissioned by the Crown itself; ] to pardon offenders ; to give warrant for the custo- j dv of idiots, lunatics, and their estates; and to delegate his authority to a Lieutenant Governor. ! Ii will be seen that the power of the Governor ( of the Bay Islands Colony exceeds that of many t (. ivcrnors of much more important settlements. " | He is, indeed, to do some of these things “by i and with the advice” of the General Assembly, or the major nart thereof; and this General Assem bly is peculiarly constituted. It is to consist ot twelve members, of whom three shall retire annu ally. They are to be chosen by electors of certain * vualifications, which are to be specified in further i letters-patent. orders in Council, or instructions through the Secretary of State; they are to he the j owners of land, tenements, or hereditaments in j the colony ; and they “ shall be able to read and I write English.” It is evident from the terms ot this statement that the constituencies are notes pected to be purely English by birth The mode I us voting at elections is peculiar; ‘‘Everyelector, i qualified as aforesaid, shall be entitled to give i three votes, and shall be entitled at his discretion j t' give such three votes to the three separate can- ! ili Jates, or to give two of such votes, or all of them, to .me candidate.” This provides for a full rep ; ; .-vernation of a respectable minority in the colony, i The General Assembly is empowered to vote the ! estimates introduced by the Executive ; and the Governor retaius a negative voice in the making of ’ laws, with a further restraint that the laws, slat- I utes and ordinances, “not to be repugnant, but as I nearly as may be agreeable to the laws and statutes i of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ire- ' land.” This is a peculiar Constitution discovered t.i fie already existing in the British empire, and it j is not less peculiar that we discover its existence i font- years after its birth ! The warrant, however, is principally interest 1 iug at the present time for its bearing on the Clav t m-Bulwer treaty. We are bickering with the i United States of America about our tenure in that 1 quarter. When Sir Henrv Bulwer and Mr. Clay- | ton, on behalf of Great Britain and the United ! States, arranged their well known convention. Sir Henry stipulated that the settlement of Belize should be exempted from the operation of the ! treat* We had also exercised a protectorate over the Mosquito Indians, a tribe of a territory not : well defined. The Belize territory had been ex tended under treaty with Spain, ratifying an en croachment made by British subjects from the i Siboon River, which was originally its southern I limit to the Surstoon. In thus excepting the Bel ize settlement, it does appear probable that Sir Henry Bulwer intended to except all the territorv then claimed by Great Britain on the right of suf ferance and custom. The purpose of the Clavton- Bttlwer convention was, jointly, “to facilitate and protect the construction of a ship-canal between the Atlantic and l’acific Oceans." The first arti- 1 ele of the treaty contains these words : “The Governments of the United States and Great Britain hereby declare, that neither one nor the other will ever obtain, or maintain for itself, any exclusive control over the said ship-canal; agreeing that neither will ever erect or maintain any fortifications commanding the same in the vj- ; cinitv thereof, or occupy, or fortify, or colonize, j orassume, or exercise, any dominion over Xicara- j gua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part j of Central America: nor will either make use of any protection which either affords or may afford, or any alliance which either lias or may have to or with any State or people, for the purpose of erect ing or maintaining any such fortifications, or of ' occupying, fortifying, or colonizing Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part of Central America, or ot assuming or exercising do minion over the same." This convention was concluded on the 10th April, 1850; the ratifications were exchanged on j the4th of July, 1850. By the tide of the warrant which has just been returned to the House of Commons, the islands nt Ruatan, Ac., are described as “lving in the Bay of Honduras.” The preamble to the warrant and its first two clauses run thus — “ Whereas it has been represented unto us, that the Islands of Ruatan, Bonacca, Util lu, Helene, Barbarat, and Moxat, in the Bay of Honduras, are inhabited by divers subjects of our crown, who are rapidly increasing in numbers, and we have therefore deemed it expedient to make provision for the government of the settlement or settle ments already formed and to be formed in these i islands: I “1. Now, know ye that we, of our especial grace, i c -rtain knowledge, aud mere motion, have thought i tit to erect, and do hereby erect, the said islands of I Ruatan, Bonacca, Utilla, Helene, Barbarat, and j Moxat, and their dependencies, into a colony ; and ; the some are hereby erected into a colony accord i iiiglv. "2. And we do hereby declare that the said island- -hall be kn.nvn and designated as the colo , nv of the Kay Islands.” The date of this warrant is “Given at our Court at Buckingham Palace, this day of March, j 1' iS, iu the eleventh year of our reign.” Here is ! “a colony” erected almost two years after the j Clavton convention ; hereare “islands in the Bar 1 of Honduras” formed into “a settlement.” The j warrant and the proceedings which it sanctions j and reports certainly appear to he incompatible | with the obligations incurred under the conven tion. The British Ministers, it is said, have offered to refer the construction of the treaty to arbitra tion; the American reply is, that the purport of the English language is too plain to need arbitra tion. Mr. Clayton has already given us the inter pretation of tlie text of which he was part author; the other author was lair Henry Bulwer, and it would he verv interesting to know whether h used the words which we have quoted above in any special or non-natural sense. There mav he, independently of technical rights, reasons why we persevere iu the protection ot our subjects on the island of Ruatan and its small neighbors, or in onr protectorate of the Mosquito Indians. These reasons, we learn from Lord Pal merston, are to be stated in the letter which Lord Clarendon is to write for the United States Gov ernment after his return to England. It would have been convenient if they had been effectively stated at an earlier stage in the dispute; but they will he awaited with some interest now, since, it the reasons are convincing, it is possible that the Americans mav waive their technical right in con sideration of the merits of the question, it is up on the substantial merits, indeed, that the ques tion must eventually rest; and it is a pity that we cannot escape from a dispute as to the terms of the treaty, to something like a plain understanding upon the points about which the officials on both sides are disputing. So usn Politicvl Anvics.— ' The following from the Monticello Sullivan county) Watehm-rn i'hard t is in striking contrast with the tone of the ex tracts which we recently gave from the New York Whw. It is sound and patriotic, and every true Democrat will respond to it. "But Democrats have a duty to perform, if thev wish to he successful. They must unite cheerful ly, heartily and honestly upon a national platform '-such as was adopted by the Baltimore Conven tion. such as was shawdowed forth in the Inaugu ral Address of President Pierce, and such as was reiterated at the caucus of the Democrat members of the present Congress. They must not only adopt such, a creed but there must be a strict adher ence to it; and old political sins must be forgiven. There must be no jealousies, no bickering nor re crimination. The words barn-burner, frecsoiler, hunker, soft-shell, hard-shell, halt-shell, should be striken from our vocabulary, and us the national Democracy of the Union, and as such only, should we be recognised and known. “As for ourselves, we are prepared to do battle for the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, whoever they may be. We fight for principles; and although we are not indifferent as to the indi vidual who shall be our standard bearer in the coming political condict, vet we shall most cheer fully and zealously put forth our efforts to secure hu election, whoever that person maybe.” From the Loudon If'eekly Chronicle Jules Gerard, the Lion-killer. Ihe race ot Nimrod is not yet extinct. The old hereditary instinct of destructiveness has survived the wreck of ages, and is living and ruling in 1 j modern days. In England its finest development of late lias been in the person of Gordon Cum- I ming; mi ranee the result is Jules Gerard. Ge rard is a Frenchman. In his earliest youth he was a fire-eater. A boy at a village feist saw a huge giant-like ruffian ill using a w* man, a crowd I them looked on in silence, and no one interfered. The boy stepped between the vie ; ,nn a,ld her tyrant, and said to the latter, “You are a coward, leave this woman in peace, or I shall : 1 , no , ck -f" do'vn on the spot.” The man was eaten by the boy. Jules Gerard of course was • the boy. There were live Hons in France—contemptible , tellows. Our hero soon extinguished their lillipu tian roar, and looked round and sighed for a grander field. Accordingly he joined the Spahis, . aild landed at Bone, in Algeria, the 19th of June,' Gerard soon wearied of ordinary life. There ' were lions in Africa—terrible ones to devour as well as roar—very different to the good natured 1 ; fellows shot by Gordon Gumming. Lions that routed and desolated whole Arab settlements. Gerard resolved to war with them. He was call ed to this life bv the highest motives. It was no 1 sordid love of fame or gain that actuated him. On the contrary, he was but an instrument in the : hands of that Brovidehce bv whom his life was j upheld to deliver the Arabs from their most dreaded foes, and to advance the cause of civiliza tion and humanity. For ten years Gerard pur sued this life, bearing innumerable hardships, j meeting with innumerable adventures, surround ed by innumerable dangets, yet always victori | ous, and, at length, crowned with the laurel wreath j of fame. The English translator is of an enthusiastic dis position. He has had interview with the lion killer. “It seems to me hardly possible,” writes the editor, who modestly conceals his name under the obscure initials, “T. W. M.," “that those deli i cate and slender hands, which he crossed before j him after the manner of the Arabs, had realty i | given the death-blow to so manv of the hitherto ! | invincible monarchs of the Atlas, and it was not i until I hud examined, as closely as courtesy per ! mitted me to do, his long and sinewy arms, erect port, clear and expressive’eyc, and a certain nux f ture of modesty and self-confidence, that 1 was i ;, hle to recognize in him the greatest of all hunters ; since the days of Nimrod, and the man who has | confronted, with calm and reflecting courage, dur j a long series of years, more appalling dangers than perhaps have ever been encountered by am nther being, warrior or sportsman, living or dead.” j The only comment on this would he a favorite ex j claraation ol one of the heroes in the “Vicar of Wakefield.” But Jules Gerard shall speak for himself. Wc extract his first EXCOCNTUB WITH A LION. They lutd scarcely gone ten paces, when a most formidable roar resounded in the ravine at oui very feet. This roar filled my heart with so much jov, that, forgetting the unfortunate state of mv j • gun,, aud without caring whether 1 was followed or not, 1 dashed through the wood in seurch of the I lion. When i ceased to hear him, I stopped to listen Bou-aziz and Bnu-oumbask were upon my heels, pale as ghosts, not daring to speak, but gesticula ting at a great rate, to make ine comprehend that I was sacrificing my life. A few minutes after the lion roared again, at about a hundred paces from i us; and aj the very first growl I dashed forward, rushing through the wood with the impetuosity of I ' a wild animal. j | M lieu the lion ceased to roar, 1 halted again in a mail glade, where my two companions joined i me. M y dog, who until then had kept behind me, 1 without .-cluing to comprehend, began to snulf j 1 the wind; then lie entered the wood cautiously, ; with his hair bristling aud his tail low—a minute j after he came galloping back much frightened, and crouched down between my legs. I Soon after this 1 heard loud and heavy steps on 1 the leaves which covered the ground, aud the rust ling of a huge body through the trees bordering the glade, ft was the lion himself leaving his lair, and ascending towards us, without suspecting our presence. Bou-aziz and the spahi were already shouldering their guns. ' ! ] T then pointed out to them with my foot a ten i rise some paces behind me, telling them not to stir from that spot until the end of the drama, a com mand which they did not fail to obc-v. Indeed, 1 1 must give these worthy fellows much credit for persisting in staving bv me, notwithstanding their extreme terror, f. >r, judge it as you please, I, foi lin' part, think ii no mean courage, when you have j ; your doubts about the success of an adventure, to ! . accept the passive part of spectator, and to remuin ■ unmoved on the scene of action. The lion was still ascending; 1 could now nieas ure the distance which separated me from him. ( and could distinguish the regular, rumbling sound ’ of hi- heavy breathing. I then advanced a few paces nearer to the edge of the glade where I ex- j pected him to appear, in order to have a chance ot ( shooting him closer. I could already hear him advancing at thirty paces, then at twenty, then at ‘ fifteen; still I felt no fear. All I thought was. j suppose he were to turn back V Suppose he does uot come out into the glade! And at each sound, • which showed him nearer to me, mv heart beat , louder, in a complete rapture of joy and hope. , One anxious thought only crossed my mind. , “What if my gun were to miss tire!'” said 1, ; glancing down upon it. But confidence again pre- 1 vailed, and iny only anxiety was for the long-wish- J ed for appearance of tuy foe. The lion, after a short pause, which seemed to s me an age, began to come forward again; ami presently 1 could see before me by the starlight, at ? but a few paces off, the top of a small tree, which I could almost touch, actually shaken by the con- . tact of the lion. This was his last pause. There was now between us two but the thickness of that single tree, covered with branches from the foot : upwards. I was standing with mv face to the wood, and with my gun pointed, so as to be ready to fire the moment the animal should enter the glade ; and ' having still an interval of about a second, I took ( advantage of it to make sure that I could regulate ! properly the aim of my barrel. Thanks to a glim mer of light which came from the West, to the * clearness of the sky filled with shining stars, and ! to the whiteness of the glade, which was couspic- 1 uous against the dark green of the forest, 1 could f 1 just see the end of my barrels; that was all, but it ' j sufficed for so close an aim. It is scarcely m-ces- I sarv to sav that 1 did not waste much time in this investigation. I was beginning 1o find that the animal was rather slow in his motions, and to fear that, in stead of advancing unsuspiciously, he had become aware of mv presence, and was about to spring over the len’tise which separated us. As if to jus tify this fear, the lion gave toot- three deep growls, and then began to roar furiously . Ob' my fellow disciples of Saint Hubert! you, ; who can feel and understand, fancy yourselves at night in the open forest, leaning against a small tree, out of which rises a vollev ot roars enough to drown the noise id thunder itself. Imag ine yourselves with only one single shot to lire on this formidable animal,'who only falls by the mcr- : est chance under a single ball, and who kills his I opponent without uiercv, if lie is not killed him self. You can doubtless understand that, had I trust- j ed to mv strength alone, my heart would have ; failed me'; in spite ot my efforts my eyes would ‘ have become dim, and mv hand unsteady. Tos ; I will confess frankly and’without shame, that ter- j riblc roar made me feel that man was small indeed iu the presence of the lion ; and without a firm | will and that absolute confidence which 1 derived from <he inexhaustible source of all power, I be- j lieve 1 should have failed in that awful moment. But this strength enabled me to listen to the tie- j : mendous voice of my enemy without trembling, ! or even emotion; and to the end I retained ! a perfect mystery over the pulsations of my heart ; and a full control over iny nerves. When 1 heard tin* lion make a last step, 1 moved a little aside; and no sooner did his enormous! head rise out of the wood, at two or three yards dis- j i tan re from rue, and he stopped to stare at me with ; a look of wonder, than I aimed between the eye j ! and ear, and slowly pressed the trigger. From ! the iustani I touched this, until I heard the report ;of the gnu, ray heart ceased to beat. After the shot I could see nothing ; hut through the smoke which enveloped the lion 1 heard the most tremendous, agonising, and fearful! v-pro- , traeted roar. Mv two men meantime had jumped \ up, but without’making a step forward, and una ; hie to see anything, stood with their guns shoul ' dered ready’to fire. For myself, 1 waited, dagger in hand, and one knee on the ground, until the i smoke should disperse, and I could see how mat ters stood. As soon as all was clear I beheld— i first one paw—and heavens, \\ nat a paw . then ; one leg, then a shoulder, then a head—and, at last, the whole body of my enemy. He lay on his side and gave not the smallest sign of life! "fake care, do not approach him yet, cried Bouaziz. throwing a large stone, which bounded from tl< Hun's corps'. Hi; was dead ! „ , , . .

Sales to-dav ;tOO bales, , and the market closed heavy. We are indebted to one of our city mer- | chants for the following: Trade Circular of Magu ire, Hyde & Co. Maxohkstkk, May Ist, 1850.- ~.s',Y Those expec- i tations of a gradual improvement, both as respects | the demand for and the prices of the staple pro | ducts of this manufacturing district, to which we gave expression in our circular, of the Ist inst.. have not been disappointed by the progress of ; events. Througlmut the month there has been an increasing enquiry from the chief foreign mar- | kets, as well as for thy home consumption, :tl- . though the restricted condition of the money mar ket, which has experienced no relaxation, lias re- ; tnatned unfavorable to the development of com- 1 mereial enteri>rise. The production, vast as it is, j lias been steadily counterpoised by demand, and as i stocks have had no 'opportunity to accumulate to any considerable extent, spinners and manufactur ers have felt themselves in a position to enforce higher terms, or reject the offers made, if below their views. The circumstances of the country have continued eminently favorable to the impor ters of the chief staples of the United States of America- cotton and corn. The former has stead ily advanced in value, in the face of what is be lieved wilt prove the largest crop on record, and the rates at present ruling here for the latter, and i which fer some time are likely to continue, ittdi- j cute that this country is and will be a valuable i market to the Agriculturists of America. From a j Parliamentary return recently issued by the Hoard j of Trade, it is shown that the consumption of cot- j ton in Great Hritain has been nearly doubled with- I in the last seventeen years, and yet the increasing development of the trade appears to have been j unchecked, even by the intervention of a War of j no inconsiderable exhaustive capacity. Compared | with last year, the stock of cotton in Liverpool is vet about one hundred and thirty-live thousand \ bales less, and prices are within a shade as high, as after the extraordinary speculation which fol lowed upon the announcement of the demise of j the Czar of Russia. Indeed, it is mainly owing to the advancing value of the raw staple that the i trade here has been kept within moderate bounds, j The extended consumption of British cotton man- j ufactures, as already said, has created a demand that keeps fully employed the present extent of our mechanical agencies, which no doubt will be i eorrcspondentlv enlarged when money become cheaper, and the rate of profit on manufacturing j enterprise more encouraging than it is at present, i As regards the prospect of the future- all pre j sent appearances seem favorable to an increasing j demand upon the industrial energies of the cloth- j ing districts. The price of bread stuffs, although ; Mill high, have a drooping tendency, and it is con j fidentlv expected that increasing imports from the ’ United States and the Italian and Levantine ports, j will bring the cost of food down to reasonable lim- i its, even before our next harvest, which thus far is j • extremely promising. A cessation of the heavy ; drain for foreign loans and war expenditure which has latterly prevailed, it is expected, will ere long give increased ease to the money market; and us our operative population are well employed at good wages, there can be little doubt that a considerable j revival in the home demand for manufactures will ensue upon the return to a state of peace. Whilst j money continued high, taxes increasing, and the i future uncertain, our drapers and wholesale houses j in the country trade kept their stocks as bare as the exigencies of their business would admit. ; They now evince a disposition to act with greater J freedom, and their operations of the past month ! i have been on a more liberal scale. The advices | ‘ from India and China are more favorable to an i improvement in the demand for those important outlets for the productions of this neighborhood. Confidence is being re-established in Australia, and trade is recovering from the excessive ship- I ments of two years ago, whilst the exports from ' those colonies (especially wool* which have con siderably increased, find'an excellent and remuner ative market in the mother country. A vc-ry large amount of shipping will soon be gradually re leased from the transport service, and come into competition in the general carrying trade, from which fact it may be inferred that an additional stimulus, in the shape of low freights, will be given to the export trade of this country. These considerations combined, lead us to believe that we shall witness, as the year advances, an increased activity of demand, and a somewhat higher range of prices than rules at present.

Cincinnati, May 13. —The German Turners’ Society of this city, whilst holding a celebration at Covington, Kv., yesterday, were annoyed by some boys, and handled them rather severely. Sub sequently Marshals Butts and Harney, in attempt ing to arrest the Turners, were severely wounded, the former by a pistol ball, and the latter by a sabre cut. The most intense excitement ensued, and large crowds of citizens collected. Some de manded the United States troops at Newport bar racks to turn out, but they were refused. Stones were freely used, and some firearms were dis charged, but no one except one of the officers was much hurt. Finally, live of the Turners surren dered voluntarily, and quiet was restored. The Germans say that the officers did not make them selves known, or no resistance would have been of fered them. 1 got a Going and Couldn't Stop. A little bov named Frank was standing in the vard, when his father called him : “Frank 1" “Sir /" said Frank, and started full speed and ran to to the street. llis father called him back, and asked him it lie did not hear his first call. “Yes. sir,” said Frank. “Well, then,” said his father, “what made you run into the street ?” “O,” --aid Frank, “I got a going and couldn’t Stop.” This is the way that a great many boys get into difficulty; they get a going and can’t stop. The boy that tells lies, began first to stretch the truth a little—to tell a larger story, or relate an anec dote with a very little variation, till he got agoing and couldn’t stop, till he came out a lull grown liar. The boy that was brought before the police, and s.snt to the House of Correction for stealing, began by taking little tilings from his mother -by steal ing sweetmeats and other nice things that were put away. Next he began to take things from his companions at school, lie got a going, and could not stop till he got into a jail. Those two boys that you see fighting out on the green, began by bantering each other ill fun. A: length they began to get angry and dispute, and call each oilier names, till they got a going and couldn’t stop. They will separate with black eves and bloody noses. There is a young man silting with his compan ions at the gaining table. He iias flushed cheeks, an anxious look, a despairing countenance, lie has lost his last dollar. He began by playing marbles in the street, but got a going and couldn’t stop. See that young man, with a dark lantern, steal ing from his master’s drawer. He is a merchant’s clerk. He came from the country a promising boy. But the rest of the clerks went to the theatre, and he thought he must go, too. He be gan, thinking he would only go once, jusf to say that he had been to the theatre. But he got a go ing and couldn’t stop. lie has used up his wages, and wants more money. He cannot resist the temptation when he knows there is money in the drawer. He has got a going—fie will stop in the State Prison. Hark! do >on hear thathorrid oath ? It comes from the foul mouth of a little boy in the street, lie began by saying by-words, but he has got a going and can’t stop. Fifty voung men were some years ago in the habit of meeting together in a room at a public house, to enjoy themselves in social hilarity, w here the wine cup passed freely around. One of them, as lie was going there one evening, began so think there might be danger in the way. He stopped and considered a moment, and then said to him self, “ Right about face !” He turned on liis heel ami went back to his room, and was never seen at the public house again. He has become rich, and the first block of buildings which he erected was built directly in front of the place where he stood when he made that exclamation. Six of the voting ■men followed his example. The remaining forty three got ajgoing and couldn’t stop till they land ed in the ditch, and most of them in the drunk ard’s grave. Beware, then, boys, how you get ajgoing. He i sure before yon start that you are in the right i wav, for when you are sliding down hill it is hard | to stop.

Corn.- —The receipts since our last reach about 10,000 bushels of good quality North Carolina, which were sold at prices ranging from 60 to 62% cents per bushel. The market, however, is largel y supplied, and we doubt whether the next sales will sustain present quotations. The receipts bv rail road comprise 6,300 bushels, which is selling at prices ranging from 60 to 05c., according to quan tity and quality. Peas. —The "receipts by railroad comprise some 400 bushels. Small parcels are selling at prices ranging from SO to hsc., sack included. Hay. —The receipts comprise 500 hales Eastern and 600 bales North River. The former was sold at *1.25, and the latter brought sl.lO and $1.12%, principally at the latter price.

The receipts, since our last, comprise 583 barrels. Bacon. —We have no new feature to notice. There lias been a regular and steady demand for Sides and Shoulders, at prices within the range of our quotations, principally at 11c. for the former, and 9(59%c. for the latter. Coffee. —This article has been very much neg lected since our last. The stock consists chiefly of Rio descriptions, and prices show a declining tendency. Molasses. —There is very little New Orleans on j sale, and the scarcity of the article lias strengthen- ; ed prices, which have advanced to 47%48c. per j gallon. There was a sale at auction of 50 hhds. ] Cuba description at 31c. The receipts since our last comprise 149 hhds. and 2 bhls., which had been sold prior to arrival, at 29c.

Yesterday the market was droopy, and but 191 bales were disposed of at 10(5,1 lc. We are again compelled to omit quotations, owing to the confin ed unsettled state of the market.

Com. —The supply of common is good, while that of white is scarce, and commands a better price than quoted in our last review. The former is held at t!5 to 68 cents ji bushel, in lots, 70(575 at retail. White corn is stiff, in large lots, at 70(5 75c. ft bushel. -The demand is quite light, the high price at which it is held, limiting the consumption of this article. We have uo receipts of Cuba to notice this week. The stock of New Orleans is not so large ; 50 cents j;) gallon for prime quality of the latter description seems to be the ruling rate from store, and 82 to 34 cepts for the former. ROME. Mav 15.

Farrell's Arabian Liniment, applied over the temples about three or four times a aav, it was entirely removed, and l have" felt nothing of it since. I went into the stable one uight, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame lie stumbled and fell against mv leg-, crushing and bruising them so badly that they turned black as mv hat, rendering them powerless. I applied your Liniment, and was well enough in i few days to go about again as usual. I also cruslu my finger in a shocking manner, by letting a back log fall upon if ; vottr Liniment soon healed it up though. ‘ JOHN B. M’GKF LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, ls-ty. [ Esq. Barker, of New Canton, 111., says:] Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured some had cases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. The leg had withered away, and was so contracted that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried their skill upon it in vain, and he nos fast ttinli/t : to the grave, when the boy's father was induced to try It. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment.
