WILSON, Clerk of Council Spanish Etiquette. —In one of bis fond fits Charles j presented the Queen with some fine Anda- horses, that she might enjoy the pleasure f the chase. One of these was brought into the ,jrtof the palace, and the Queen sprang into ihc Idle; but at that very instant the steed, startled I. some noise, suddenly swerved, and she was l nolo the ground, her foot being still in the stir- All saw her danger, but they feared to go .. | lC r assistance, for the rigid laws of Spain de , rineed the touching of a Queen’s loot as an act (l s treason. Two cavaliers, Don Luis de los Tor an(l I)on Juan de Sotto-Maj’or, braved the per ril and saved, the Queen. But Maria Louisa had to exert all her influence to obtain for them the Koval pardon, and, even after it was granted, they were secretly warned to quit Madrid, and never (0 S pcak of the illegal service they had rendered to their Sovereign. Jlfrrfu of taking U. S. Property, —In the Su preme Court of the United States at Washington, Friday, the court was equally divided, four and four, in the case of the U. S. Mint in Philadel phia, and the Portland Custom House. The ef fect o f this is, that the decision of the Court be low adverse to the right of the county of Phila delphia to tax the U. S. Mint, or real estate, will be sustained. In the Portland case the Court be low was divided, and gave no decision. Inmmse Rope. —A new rope to be used on the j nc lincd Plane of the Columbia railroad, just ITnn u fact ured in Philadelphia, is six thousand j-, et in length, and nine inches in size. It re .jred fourteen tons of Italian hemp, and weighs twenty d' ive thousand pounds. Cooking Cranberries. —To each quart of berries very shortly after the cooking of iliem is enm nvncml, add a teaspoonful of saleratus. This will ?o much neutralize the acidiferons juice which thev contain, as to make it necessarv to use only wne-fonrth part as much sugar as would have been requisite, had they been cooking without using saleratus *— Mich igan Farmer. ft would seem from the English papers that Hudson, the “ Railway King,” is not ruined vet. He still retains possession of real estate worth nearly one million dollars. Sixteen thousand dollars, in bills, were stolen from the Phrenex Bnnlc of Wester 1 v. R.

Not fewer than 40 have been burned, sunk, blown up, or seriously damaged on the Mississippi and its main tributaries within six months past. Alum is tlie grunt secret of the fire kings, for wlien redn-ced with common suit 1o nn impalpable powder, several coats of it. mixed with spirits of wine, spread upon the hand, will enable one to grasp a red hot iron without inconvenience.

Jan. 12 —mo* For the Cure of COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS, BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH, CROUP, jfiLSTKIVIA and CONSUMPTION The unit orm success which has attended tin* use ot this pre paration—its salutary effect—its power to relieve and cure affec tions of the Lungs, have gained for it a celebrity equalled by no oilier medicine. We offer it to the afflicted with entire confi dence in its virtues, and the full belief that it will subdue and remove the severest attacks of disease upon the throat and Lungs. These results, as they become publicly known, very naturally attract the attention of medical men and philanthro pists everywhere. What is their opinion ol CHERRY PEC TORAL may be seen in the following:— VALENTINE MOTT, M. D , Prof. Surgery Med. College , JYeic York , says :—• “ It gives me pleasure to certify the value and efficacy of Ayer's l lIERRY PECTORAL, which 1 consider peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the Throat and Lungs.” THE RT. REV. BISHOP FIELD writes in a* letter to his friend, who was fcist sinking under an affection ol the Lungs:—“ Try the CHERRY PECTORAL, and if any medicine can give you relief, with the blessing of God that will.” CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTT3, of Louisiana, writes “ That a young daughter of his was cured of several severe attacks of Croup by the 1 CHE HR Y PECTO RAL.” ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS. The Canadian Journal of Medical Science states, “That Asthma and Broncliitis so prevalent in this in clement climate, has yielded with surprising rapidity to Ayer’s CHERRY PECTORAL, and we cannot too strongly recom mend this skilful preparation to the Profession and Public gen erally.” READ THE EVIDENCE, Albany, N. Y., April 17, 1848. Dr. Ayer, Lowell Dear Sir:—l have for years been afflicted with Asthma in the worst form; so that I have been obliged to sleep in my chair for a larger part of the time, being unable to breathe on my bed. I had tried a great many medicines to no purpose, until my Physician proscribed, as an experiment, your CHERRY PECTORAL. At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less than a week I began to experience the most gratifying relief from its use; and now, in four weeks the disease is entirely removed. 1 can sleep on my bed with comfort, and enjoy a state of health which I had never expected to enjoy.
