\ Dream—T« it young Lady.
In bridal dress I saw thee stand,
VTitfc happy throng around thee,
A noble youth detained thy hand-
The priest stood forth to clasp the baud.
But ’ere his rite bad bound thee,
K noise without and voices loud—
•• A pause, a pause,” required;
The priest laid down the book—a cloud
11 >se on the bridgrooin's forehead proud.
He from thy side retired.
A stranger entered now- the door.
With a hurried step and wild
He took his station on the floor,
.lust where the bridegroom stood before
He raised thy hand and smiled.
He was a comely youth to view,
His eye with genius fired,
His form erect and manly too
Became tbs uniform of “Slue”
In which he which he was attired.
Then rushed the bridegroom bending low.
Thy other band upraising.
Thou did'st not hid him let it go,
To neither did’st thou preference show.
But on the floor stood gazing.
Stood gazing, yet with vacant stare,
As if life’s charms were dving,
A statue seeming—yet more fair,
Than marble pure, or wax-work rare,
The sculptor’s art defying.
Then indistinct my vision grew.
Try form with ether blended,
I woke as morning’s finger drew
Her canopy of gold and blue,
My dream, alas! was ended.

The Bishop of Puebla has addressed a long cotn
aanication to the President, to vindicate his con
duct in the revolution of Haro y Tamariz. lie ad
mits having loaned money, but denies having aid
ed in any other manner to advance his cause. The
reply of the Minister of Justice is stinging, hand
tig the Bishop without gloves, and showing most !
inclusively that without the assistance of the '
d-Tgy there would have been no bloodshed.
Admiral Zerman, of the La Paz expedition to
j.wer California, has gone to the State of Guerre- •
in to confer with Gen. Alvarez, but the General has
refused to hold anv intercourse with him. In a
note to Zerman lie says, among other things :
"Abusing my name, you have attempted to make
ue an object ot ridicule, in gratuitously supposing
that I approved of the expedition which you took
tu Lower California. Such conduct is worthy of a
iun who bears upon him the base mark of a filli
uater.” Our readers will remember that, two
weeks ago, we predicted this reception to the Ad
miral. On the other hand, it is said that the
American Minister has peremptorily demanded the
immediate release of the bark llebecca Adams,
iptured along with Zerman and the Americans.
Nearly two hundred prisoners, who were officers,
with Harov Tamariz, have been sent to the State ,
f Guerrero, for safe-keeping, where'Gen. Alvarez.
~s objected to keep tlieia, alleging a want of
f inds and ability to keep them quiet. Accounts
■reived from them represent their condition a-,
ploralde, being reduced to absolute want,
which has to be supplied by public and private
■haritv.
Restrictions on the liberty of the press are being
gradually taken off, and some fines imposed on
editors Lave been remitted.
Some important changes in the Ministrv will 1
nun take place, of which information may be ex
pected bv the next steamer. Gen. Parrodi is now
acting Minister of \Var, as Gen. Yanez has re
signed. The utmost harmony exists m the Cabi
net, and the President is, at the present time, in
high favor with the people and with Congress.
There is to be no “let up' against the clergy and
military ; both are to be thoroughly subjected to
the civil authority.
The military have also received some particular
attention from the Government. Gen. Craga lias
asked leave to quit the country, which lias been
granted along with a passport for that purpose.
Much excitement has been created here in rela
tion to the imprisonment or rather banishment of
Gen. La Vega to the Castle of Perote. It seems
that he has committed a grave offence—l might
sav a double offence, being both against military
regulations and public opinion. The General has
presumed to censure, in print, the conduct of the
Government in reducing to the ranks of common
soldiers, the generals, chiefs, and officers, who
paticipated in the late revolution of llaro y Tama
riz. He has publicly declared that the decision
upon the 4th article of the capitulation has been
unjust and unmerited. By that article, it will be
remembered, the rebel officers wore to remain
1:1 the army in such manner as the Executive
should determine, and tbs Executive has deter
mined that they shall remain as common soldiers.
For once, Gen. La Vega has forgotten his usual
prudence. Being the pet officer of the whole ar
uy, with immense prestige, never having partici
pated in any pronuneiamento, and having always
been obedient to the actual Government, he lias
acquired a reputation for honesty and patriotism
equalled by few iiPthe whole country. You re
us ruber he commanded the artillery at Palo Alto,
where he was takeu prisoner. Being exchanged,
he was again made prisoner at Cerro Gordo; on
both occasions he stood to his guns to be captured
with them. Since the last abdication of Santa
Anna, lie was for a few weeks the head of the Gov
ernment; but he gracefully yielded to Alvarez,
and more recently was actively employed at the
side of President Comonfort, in the siege of Pue
bla. La Vega is, no doubt, deeply disgusted with
the abolition ot the fuer< < or privileges of the ar
my. None of the old officers can view with com
placency this sweeping away of those rights which
heretofore have given them a pre-eminent con
sideration in the State. He has consequently vio
lated the military ord-nansa in presuming to cen
sure a military act of his military superior in com
mand. Consequently he was immediately order
ed into confinement, for three months, in the Cas
tle nf Perote.
An amnesty has been accorded to the prisoners
taken at Puebla, and to all others engaged in that
rebellion. They are permitted to leave the coun
'ry, and are not to return for four years ; or, if re
• oug in it, they are prohibited from holding any
' ■ uployment for the same period. The gen
• ".i’s an 1 chiefs are to remain as common soldiers
■ t six years ; the other officers arc dismissed from
the army, to reside at places designated by the Ex
ecutive, and not to hold office of any kind.
The decree of President Alvarez, of last Xovent
tir, abolishing the privileges ifueros) of the
church and military, came up last week, in Con
gress, for ratification by that body. This decree
’ called here the law of Juares, as that Seuor was
the Minister of Justice who signed and published
it. It was ratified all but unanimously. It takes
away all civil and criminal jurisdiction from mili
tary tribunals, and all civil jurisdiction from the
ecclesiastical courts, leaving tu the clergy cogni
.nice of only criminal cases against priests oi
other rtliy'Mmt. This law is crushing to the fieri
cal and military aristocracy, heretofore triablf
only by their peers in all eases, both as regard;
crimes and property. Hereafter thev will be m
better than lay plebeians before the laws; with tin
same rights and no more than a lepero.
A Classical Congress.— The best jokes afloat ii
the Capital are located in the room of tlie Commit
tee on the District of Columbia. In a recent die
cussion there a legal member stated that “Con
gress should be liberal towards the District.” Sh
has no Territorial or State Government, and w<
consequently, should watch over her interest “i
■-'Jr rtn> is.” A clerical member of the commi
tee, from down East, did not relish this, and close
a sophomoric appeal by exclaiming, in true pulp
fashion: “As to the gentleman’s insinuation tin
Congress should act as ‘lueo/ueo parents’ to th:
District, 1 would remind him that only the Senai
is of them polities.”

The Island of Ruatan.
When the Convention between the United States
and Great Britain, known as the Clayton-Bulwcr
Treaty, was concluded in 1850, it was understood
between Sir Henry liulwer and Mr. Clavton, that
i the provisions of the Convention shoufd not ex
tend to the British settlement of Belize in the
State of Honduras, nor to “ the small islands in
the neighborhood of that settlement, known as its i
dependencies.” This exception was made on ac- 1
count of the limited right of settlement for certain
specified objects, accorded to Great Britain by the '
Crown of Spain, by the treaty of 1783, and the
supplementary Convention of 1786, and for the i
purpose, also, of defining the limits of British sov
ereignty, protectorate, or settlement, in Central
; America.
the course of the year 1851, a proclamation !
" f‘ s Tssued by the British government, erecting the
islands of Ruatan, Bonacca, Utilla, Helene, Bar
narat and Moxat, situated on the coast of Central )
America, into a Colony, under the name of the
i.V ii ' , proclamation was immediate- ■
!?. billowed bv a Royal warrant, placing these 1
islands under the government of the Governor of '
Jamaica, and detailing the laws by which the gov
ernment was to be administered.
The island of Ruatan is situated on the coast of
the State of Honduras, about forty miles from
Iruxillo; is healthy, fertile, and possesses large
and commodious harbors, and great facilities for
tlia erection of strong fortifications. This island,
1 together with the five others included in the Colo
. nv of the “Bay Islands,” is claimed as one of the
small islands in the neighborhood of the English
settlement of Belize, and as one of the dependen
cies of that settlement, although these islands are 1
fully two hundred miles distant from Belize, and I
although they have not and never had any’ geo- :
graphical or political connection with that settle- :
meat, and are distinctly adjacent to, and obvioush
dependencies of, the Central American State of i
Honduras.
—When this proclamation and warrant, by virtue
of which these inlands on the coast of Honduras
were seized, colonized and occupied by the British
were made known in this country, our government
naturally regarded it as an open violation of the
Clavtou-Bulwer convention, and as a direct- con
tradiction aud annulment of the object of which
that convention was entered into, namely, to pre
vent either the United States or Great Britain
fram exercising, or possessing any right to exer
cise control over the Isthmus passage connecting
the two oceans. The occupation and colonization
of Ruatan were considered a clear violation of
the terms ot the treaty, and diametrically opposed
to the principle upon which, and the purpose for
which that treaty was concluded. Ruatan could
not he considered a small island in the neighbor
hood of British Honduras, hut a large and valua
ble island, upwards of two hundred miles distant
from the British settlement, close to the indepen
dent State of Honduras, and the most important
naval and military station within the waters of the
Isthmus. It was natural, therefore, that our Gov
ernment should energetically remonstrate against
what would appear such a manifest violation of
the spirit if not of the letter of the treaty of ls. Vi.
It may he that the repnblication, bv* order of
the British government, of the terms of the Kov
al Warrant creating the colony of the Bay Island's,
was not considered a matter of anv special im
portance, but there are many who, considering the
present slate of affairs between the two countries,
attach a great deal of significance to the fact, and
construe it as a declaration on the part of the
responsible advisers of Her Majesty, .if their fixed
intention to adhere to their interpretation ot the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, and to retain their domin
ion “of sufferance and custom,” irrespective of rc
, monstrance, over these islands belonging to Cen
* tral America. The warrant declares that the isl
ands are “in the Buy of Honduras,” and that they
tire thereby “erected into a colony.” It bears
date March 26th, 1852. The Clavtou-Bulwer trea
ty. declaring that neither the United States nor
Great Britain will “ever occupy, or fortify, or col
onize. or assume or exercise any dominion over
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, tile Mosquito Coast,
or any part of Central America, or make use of
anv protection which either affords or may afford,
or any alliance which either has or may have to or
j with any State or people, for the purpose of erect-
I 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,” was formally ratified bv
both contracting parties on the 4tn July, 1850,
nearly two years prior to the warrant, by virture of
which the Queen of Great Britain exercises dis
tinct dominion over a portion of Central America,
“erects aolony” and “occupies a territory,” to
which she had renounced all claim, either past,
present, or prospective. An impartial student of
the terms and intent of both these documents
would discover an obvious inconsistency be
tween them, and would naturally conclude, as does
the United States government, that the warrant
is a violation of the treaty. Lord Palmerston
maintains the reverse. It remains to be seen wheth
er the British Parliament will sustain his views,
or pronounce them inconsistent with good faith
and subversive of the true intent and meaning of
the Treaty.

Remedy against the Striped Rug.
M *r*. Editor*: As the time is near at hand
when water-melons, cymlings, cantelopes, Ac.,
should he planted, you will confer a favor by pub
lishing the following remedy againt the ravages
i of the bug that so frequently destroys them :
As soon as the vines are attacked by them, dust
them over us often as necessary with the common
black pepper, finely pulverized. This may be
done when the dew is on them without injury to
the vines, as I am informed by a gentleman who
has tried it. May not the pepper be also a good
remedy against the ravages of the fly or bug so
destructive to young turnips and tobacco plants?
1 intend to try it, and if it is, max I not claim the
premium offered by the British Government for
the discovery of a sure remedy against the turnip
fly ? Very respectfully, Ac., 1).
Visit to the Mosque ot Omar.— A letter from | (
W. C. Prime, Esq., dated Jerusalem, February j ,
21st, and published in the New York (Aeiriyi-, ! ~
contains the following extract: I
No better evidence of the change of Mohante- c
danism is needed, than the fact that the Mosque j ,
of Omar at Jetusalem, which has been so long j
guarded from Christain intrusion, is uow opened to j
them, and that yesterday a party of twelve Amer- j
ican gentlemen and three ladies went through its j
sacred enclosures. It was not accomplished with- t
out some difficulty, but the money of travellers t
has found its wa v into the hearts of the Moslems, ,
and lias vastly relaxed their religious severity. (
The Pasha has granted several orders recently j
admitting English and French travellers to the
mosque, but England and Fiance rule here now,
and America is unknown. Hence, in the Pasha’s
absence, his agent here would not take the respon
sibility of admitting to the great harem; but the
chief of the soldiery, Hashain-Aga, volunteered <
■in consideration of sundry gold pieces) to open >
the gates for us. The fanaticism of ihe servants <
of the mosque is unabated, and without a proper ]
order or guard it. is dangerous for a Christian to i
approach and impossible for him to enter. Hash- 1
am-Aga gave 11s a guard of thirty soldiers, who j i
accompanied 11s, and we entered the grand court
at one o’clock, and remained in the mosque and in
: the great crvpts under it, for two or three hours, 1
examining everything; and as you remember that ,
this is the site of the temple ot Solomon, and the
enclosure of the court is considered identical in ;
size and shape with the court or enclosure of the |
temple, and the crvpts antedate the Christian era, j
| you may imagine the interest with which 1 went
over this hitherto unexplored ground. I believe
that M. is the tirst American lady who has ever
been on the ground of the temple of Solomon, itn- 1
less it be that one or two of the residents here, ,
missionaries, or others, may have gonq in hereto- ■
fore in disguise as Mohnmedan women. I shall
not attempt here to give you any description of 1
the mosque or its surrounding points of interest ;
I mention the matter only as illustrating the grad- j
ual relaxation of Moliamedan structures.

Approved May 14, 1858.
Mr. Clavton and Mr. Crampton.
In the United States Senate, on the 14tli inst.,
Mr. Clavton' made the following statement, which
was referred to in a telegraph dispatch a few days
ago:
Mr. Clayton said Hint he had been much sur
prised this morning to see in some of the newspa
pers what purported to be an extract of a letter
lroin Air. Crampton to Lord Clarendon, dated I
W ashingtou, March 31,1858, which was as follows: j
“ it will be within your lordship’s recollection !
that Mr. Clayton was informed by Sir Henry Bui- :
wer, before the treaty of 1850 was signed, that ;
Ruatan was de jure and de facto a British posses
sion ; aud Mr. Clayton has, on various occasions
since, in conversation with me, stated that lie con
sidered Ruatan as much a British possession as
Jamaica or anv other British West India island.”
Mr. C. said that this statement was utterly un-
I true in every part of it; and the British minister
must have labored under a hallucination as strange
as ever entered the brain of any man to have iqaile
such a statement. Nothing like that had ever es
caped him, in conversation with Mr. Crampton or
any one else. Fortunately for him, the fact did
not rest merely upon the statements of Mr. Cramp-
I ton aud himself; but he had a living witness to rc
j fer to. Before doing so, however, lie would call
j the attention of the Senate to a letter written bv
Mr. Crampton, aud read to the Senate by himself
| on the 12th of January, 1854, in the course of a
: speech in which he was endeavoring to prove that
Ruatan was not a dependency of Belize, and was
not exempted from the provisions of the treaty of
I 1850. He had Mr. Crarnptou’s own testimony on
the subject, which lie then read to the Senate, and
he proposed to read it again now for the purpose
j of contradicting this statement, which was made
| known to him this morning for the first time, and ,
of which he had not the most remote conception, j
Great Britain now rested her claim to the island of i
Ruatan entirely on the assumed fact that it was a !
dependency of Belize ; that was the ot:lv ground j
upon which she pretended to have any title to it. ;
in the debate in the Senate upon that very ques- i
tiou, Mr. C. had produced a letter from Mr. Cramp- i
ton, m which tiiat gentleman had said, “ the do- j
pendencies of British Honduras are, in my opin- j
ion, distinctly enumerated in the treaty of 1788.” j
Mr. Crampton had consulted the records of his le
gation, and after doing so, he arrived at the con
clusion deliberately, and after a full examination,
that the dependencies of British Honduras were
distinctly enumerated in the treatv of 1788. Now,
ihat treaty described the small islands that were
dependencies of Belize, viz: Saint George’s Kev,
aud those small islands embraced in a triangle i
within the distance of three or four miles from ’
Belize. These islands, then, having been marked j
out and “ distinctly enumerated” iu the treaty of j
1786, the irresistible conclusion was, that Ruatan,
which was at a considerable distance from Belize, !
and was not among tlie dependencies distinctly j
enumerated, was not exempted from the provisions I
of the treaty according to the admission of Mr. !
Crampton lnmself.
Mr. C. proceeded to say that while he was de- ,
taiued at his lodgiugs bv sickness in February or I
March last, he was called upon by the Senator I
from Kentucky, Mr. Crittenden,] and while they I
were engaged in conversation upon this subject,
Mr. Crampton came in to invite Mr. Clavton to ;
dilie with him ; being too sick to accept the invi- :
tation, lie took the opportunity to ask Mr. Cramp- i
ton if lie knew anything of tho report or charge!
thut he [Mr, Clayton] had ever admitted to him
that Ruatan was exempted from the operation of j
the treaty of 1850. Mr. Crampton m the most un- j
qualified terms acknowledged that there was no ;
truth in the report that Mr. Clayton liad ever made i
anv such intimation to him.
Sir. Crittenden corroborated the statement of
Mr. Clayton, lie could not now pretend to detail
the conversation at which lie was thus accidently j
present; but, according to his recollection, the ;
substance of it was as related by the Senator from j
Delaware, and directly contrary to the statement ;
in the published letter of Mr. Crumpton.
Mr. Clayton remarked that lie had made speech
after speech in the Senate, the object of which was j
to prove the direct reverse of what the letter had
represented him as admitting. He was willing to
put the most charitable construction upon it, but
it was an utter and total mistake.
Mr. Cass thought it was very certain that the i
Senator from Delaware, unless m some fit of in- ‘
sanity, could never have said to Mr. Crampton |
what was attributed to him.
ill . Pratt inquired what evidence there was of
the authenticity of the letter a- (published m the
newspapers, lie thought it most probable that
there was some mistake about it.
Mr. Clayton had no knowledge as to the authen- ]
ticity of the letter. When his attention was call
ed to it this morning he was never more astonish
ed in his life; and 0S he found it in the public
prints, he felt that his ill's I duty was to prove that
the statement, no matter by whom it was made, 1
was false. If Mr. Crumpton never made such a
statement, lie could not be injured by these re
marks ; but if he did make it, it was for him to
explain it. The letter had gone forth to the coun
try through the newspapers of the day; and until
it was denied.or disavowed, ho was bound to sup
pose that it was a genuine document, hut he should
ire very happy to he assured of the contrary.
Subsequently, Mr. Fish, at the request of Mr.
Clavton, stated that lie had repeated conversations
during iliepresent session with Mr. Crampton in
relation to the subject «>f Central American affairs,
and Mr. C. had told him that Mr, Clayton always
denied the British title to Ruatan. He thought it
doubtful whether the letter which the Senator .
from Delaware had read was an authentic one.
Mr. Cass remarked that Great Britain had here
tofore only claimed Ruatan and the other Bay
islands on the principle, that they bad been spon
taneously settled by British subjects; but it was
the usual course of’ that government, when they!
were driven from one point to fall back upon an
other, and another, and another ; and this might;
be one of their new discoveries.
From the Journal of Commerce, Jr., May 15.
The New Rules of Maritime T.nw.
The declaration made by the Plenipotentiaries j
who lately assembled 111 ('engross at Paris, re- ■
speeding maritime law, will work an important i
change in the law of nations, and give increased I
protection to neutral commerce. On the part of
Great Britain, it is tho surrendci’ of pretensions to
which she iuts ever clung, on the strength of her . <
maritime supremacy, and as the result of a sup- ’
posed acquired and incontcstible right, which had
the-effect to give unnecessary malignity to all her ! ;
contests (excepting the one with RussiaV, and to;
damage-other commercial nations. The Plenipt »
tentiaries declare that— i
1- Privateering is, and remains, abolished.
‘J. That the neutral flags cover enemy's goods,
with the exception of contraband of war.
3. Neutral goods, with the exception of contra
haml ot war, tire not liable to capture under ene
my’s flag. i
'4. Blockades, in order to be binding, must be
effective; that is to say, maintained by a force
sufficient really to prevent access to the coast of
the enemy.
Las Casas, in his interesting memoirs of the
; conversations of Napoleon at St, Helena, informs
j us that the Emperor was led on one occasion to re
view the subject of his maritime quarrel with Eng
land, and that be observed, “ Her ; retentions to ;
1 blockade on paper produced my famous Berlin de
i cree. The British Council, in a lit of resentment,
i issued its orders, which established a right of toll
upon the seas. I instantly replied by the celebra
ted Milan decrees, which denationalized even
I flag that submitted to the English acts, and it
was then that the war became ill England truly j
personal.”
t (The United States lias ever protested against
paper blockades, and has ever maintained that the >
law of war did not permit injury to neutrals or ;
tlicir property, whether upon rivers or the ocean, or
in whatever vessels. In our treaty with Russia,
concluded at Washington in July, 185-1, there are
the following articles:
The two high contracting parties recognise as
permanent and immutable the following princi
ples :
t 1. That free ships make fret- goods — that is to
say, that the effects or goods belonging to subjects
or citizens of a power or State at warjare free from
j capture and confiscation wheu found on board of
neutral vessels, with the exception of articles con
traband of war.
2. That the property of neutrals on board an j
enemy’s vessel is not subject to confiscation, unless
the same be contraband of war. They engage to
apply these principles to the commerce and uavi
, gation of all such powers and States as shall cou
. sent to adopt them on their part as permanent and
: immutable —reserving a right to consider in what
1 manner the first article shall be thus applied.
The declaration that free ships make free goods,
| was sturdily opposed by Great Britain up to the
time of the war with Russia. During that war
i she yie'ded this ground, which the Queen thus an
t ; nounced: “To preserve the commerce of neutrals
from all unnecessary obstruction, her Majesty is
willing, for the present, to waive a part of the bel
ligerent rights appertaining to her bv the law o
nations. * * Her Majesty will waiVe the rich!
J of seizing enemy s property laden on board a neu
tral vessel, unless it be contraband of war ” Tlu
treaty was invited bv Mr. Marcy who
! m his despatch to our Minister at St. Petersburg
thus expresses himself: “ I have thrown out the
! suggestion to Great Britain and France to adopt
this as a rule to be observed in all future wars-”
and hence the United States mav properlv lav
i claim to the establishment of this 'doctrine. '
It will be recollected that the President in his
I annual Message in 1854, noticed a suggestion of
; the King of Prussia to connect the abolishment of
privateering with the proposed settlement of the
| rights of neutrals on the sea, and that it was disa
! greed to, on the ground set forth by the President
| that the commerce of a nation having compnra
| tivelv a small naval force would be at the mercy
i of its enemy, in case of a war with a power of deci
ded naval superiority. “The Navy of the first
I maratime power in Europe,” said the President,
“is at least ten times as large as that ofthe United
j States. The foreign commerce of the nations is
| nearly equal, and about equally exposed
i to hostile depredations. In war between that
: power and the United States, without resort
j on our part to our mercantile marine, the means
j of our enemy to inflict injury- upon ourcommerce,
I would be tenfold greater than ours to retaliate!
! We could not extricate our country from this uno
! qual condition, with such an enemy, unless we at
j once departed from our present peaceful policy,
■ and became a great naval power.” The Presi
j dent, however, added, “Should the leading powers
[ of Europe concur in proposing as a rule of inter
j national law, to exempt private property upon the
j ocean from seizure by public armed cruisers as
well as by privateers, the United States will readi
* lv meet them upon that broad ground.” The de
[ elaration made by the Plenipotentiaries at Paris,
! comes short of this ground. It covers neutral
| property in enemy’s ships, and enemy’s property- in
neutral ships, with the exception of contraband of
war but does not cover enemy’s property in enemy’s
ships ; that is to say, the private property of indi
vidual citizens. In out-treaty with Prussia, nego
tiated by Franklin in t"BS, there was a stipulation
that, in case of war, neither should commission pri
vateers to prey upon the commerce of the other,
bt.t it lias become extinct. In 1824, Mr. Rush, our
Minister at that time at the Court of St. James,
proposed to the British Plenipotentiaries ( Mr. Ilas
kisson and Stratford Canning) to abolish pri
vateering and the capture of private prop
erty at sea; but this course was declined,
inasmuch as other maratime questions had been
shut out from tbe negotiation. “M\ own opinion
unequivocally istsuid Mr. Rush'! that Great Britain
is not prepared to accede, under any circumstan
ces, to the proposition for abolishing private war
upon the ocean.” The usages of modern war ex
empt private property on the land from seizure
and confiscation, lint not on the sea ; and so long
as these maritime captures are resorted to bv
Great Britain, privateering will continue to be
practised as a means of countervailing her superi
or forces.
A Veisy SiMii-LAi! Affair. —A very curious in
stance of confusion has taken place in a family in
Lumber street. A mother and her daughter were
both conliued on the same day, each having a lit
tle* son. In the hustle of the moment both ba
bies were placed in a cradle, and to the confusion
of the mothers, when the youngsters were taken
from the cradle, they were unable to tell which
was the mother’s and which the daughter’s son—a
matter which, of course, must ever remain a mys
tery. The family is in great distress over the af
fair.—Albany Knickerbocker.
Studying Latin.
The Kew Era relates a story of a young farmer
whose son had for a long time been ostensibly
studying Latin in a popular academy :
The farmer not being perfectly satisfied with the
course and conduct of the young hopeful, recalled
him from school, and placing him by the side of a
cart, one day, thus addressed him :
“ Mow, Joseph, here is a fork, and there is a heap
of manure and a cart; what do vou call them in
Latin
“ Forkibus, cartibns, cl inanuribus,” said Joseph.
“Well, now,” said the old man, “ifyou don’t
take that forkibus, pretty quickabus, and pitch that
inanuribus, into that cartibus, I’ll break your lazy
backibus.”
Joseph went to workibus forthwithibus.
This very classical anecdote reminds us of one
told concerning old Matthew Thornton, whose
name is numbered among those on our Declaration
of Independence.
Riding one day in a stage coach, wherein were a
number of sophomoric young pedants, lie got wea
ned by their school* boy quotations of Greek and
Latin, as well as somewhat offended by their im
pertinence. Taking advantage of a lull in conver
sation, tlie old gentleman requested them to trans
late for him the following lines from Ovid :
“ In pin taris.
In okenun is;
I n mud, elsar,
In clavuun ar.”
it is needless to remark that their efforts at solu
tion were all failures; whereupon, the generous
old gentleman turned himself into a translator, as
follows:
“ In pine, tar is,
In oak, none is ;
In mud, eels are.
In clay, none are.”
The custom of “treating” was not then com
mon, or they might have been justified in enquiring
whether he was dry.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP
The Empire State of the South still ahead in her
Improvements.
THIS article wijf compare favora- -—a, rpM.

of a Soap it gives it a decided advan |BSb|
tage over anv Balm, Salve, Liniment, -
; or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. Tiiis article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Pilss,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore
Hi es, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, <fcc.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head', thereby
preventing premature baldness, ft is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a I
superior dentrifice to the teeth. For shaving soap, j
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and j
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and I
particular old sons, this soap has proved a balm j
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it !
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only !
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and !
wishing to avoid everything like lmmbuggerv, I I
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they will (lien declare this to be the ne
/dits -ultra of the age in the healing art.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
UNLOOKED FOR TESTIMONY
IV> DYSPEPTICS.— Says the “Spirit of
On Ay- ft is not an insignificant fact—
rather an important one—and indicative of the
long promised “good time coining,” that we have,
wi in increasing frequency, additions from the ranks
: of regularly educated physicians to the number o !
those who have humanly come forward and inter
posed between the Patent Medicine Quacks and
their innumerable dupes throughout tin- country.
The evils which have resulted from tin- success of
a few persons in (his line, is, we believe, incalcula
ble. Hosts of venal imitators -groveling pander*
eis to their own base passions, avarice, and a pru
rient ambition, have sprung up on every side and i
flooded the country with foul decoctions, disguised
by their inodorousness and bad taste, proclaiming
them universal Panaceas for all diseases.
This subject has not hitherto failed to attract the
attention of philanthropists, and if it did not re
ceive that attention which it so evidently demand
ed, it was because no available means for its sup
pression presented themselves. A remedy is, how- ;
ever, now being applied to the evil, which will not •
only abate if, but, finally, and we hope, ere long,
exterminate it.
Regular medical practitioners are now placing
their best prescriptions in a popular form before
the public—thus affording the advantages of their
skill and science without the usual consulting fee
in those disorders of ascertained characters, and ,
which may be treated on known principles. We
hope that accessions to the number of those plivsi
ciaus who prefer to seek the sick and heal them
rather than repose m dignified retirement of the i
profession, waiting “a call,” will increase until the (
. whole race of humbugs are extant, and people be j t
assured that a popular medicine is really worth the j 1
wrapper that envelopes it -a rather uncertain mat- \
ter with some of the nostrums that are now afloat. I i
We were led into these remarks by a conversa
tion which we just have had with a gentleman—a ;
friend, who for years had been a sufferer from
Dyspepsia. We knew him once cheerful, robust j
and healthy -and, again, from the effects of thi>
health-destroying disorder, emaciated, crabbed, j
and miserable. Whilst noticing, agreeable, aj .
great change wrought within a few weeks iti his !
appearance- and manner, he, as if divining our i
thoughts, asked if we did not think lie was im- 1 -]
proving, and proceeded to tell us of the wonderful ,
properties and great value as a remedy, of (
" BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.” Bliss'Hum
bug ! cried we. But a letter from a lady in New
York recommended our friend to try. as he-ex
pressed it, this Blissful remedy, and his serious- j
ness iu attesting his restoration to health, being
owing to its use, our doubts vanished, and we de
termined to give our readers the advantage of our
friend’s experience in a short paragraph. Should 1
this meet, the eye of Dr. Bliss, No. 20, Beckman
street, New York, whom we don’t know from
Adam, he will accept our thanks, as the medium 1
of restoring to us a friend, estranged by disease, c
in the health and cheerfulness of disposition in
which we formerly knew him. : t
As we have not noticed in any of our exchanges
mention of this remedy, we would snv to Dr. Ik,
place your discovery within the reach of all—ad
vertise—let your light shine, even though it mav
not be reflected in the “ Spirit of the .We.”

by the use of 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liiuniem

nothing of it since. I went into the stable one

[ Esq. Barker, of A>i- Canton, 111,, says .* ;
Mr. H. (L Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured
some bad cases here, which every other remedy
had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con
traded cords in the leg of a bov twelve years oh!
The leg had withered awav, and was so contracted
that he had no vse of it. Three doctors had tried
their skill upon it in vain, and he mis fast sinks
/<• the grave, when the boy’s father was induced to
try 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the
first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store
and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, 1
want all that Liniment you have in the store ■ the
one bottle I got did my bov more good than all that
bad ever been done before'.” That boy is now well
and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good
for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.

terfeit, which Ims lately made its appearance, called

when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
