D’AN'IIGNAC & Co., Druggists, Au gusta, having been appointed by the proprietor of the above valuable medicine, wholesale Agents, have just received a supply and are prepared to furnish it at the lowest Eastern prices. By reference to the newspapers of the past few .years, it will be seen that this is the artic e that has been so much landed by men of science. The nostrums so d in this country, under the nameof lomato Pills, were got up long since the original and genuine article was discovered, sep 2 wss TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF FAMILIES. DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and dues not belong to the family of quack medicines; for the reason that the component parts are made known to the faculty, or any one else that may wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme Nmth has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to be made from the stalk, a thing not more absurd than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of which, ho holds himself bound, and in honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they arc all that they profess to be. and will do for ol.hets what they have done for such as mav have used them : as this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will doubt ers be valuable information to families to know that the Yellow arc just doubly as valuable as the lied Tomato, and produces twice as much -of the hapatine, or active principle,and when used as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the •system in much better condition than the other kind ; many will recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has been given to children, and how they then wished for a substitute, it has long been known that the 'Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that they contained alterative and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use ttie preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that they know what it is Were it a patent mystery, they would he hound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of tire day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a mild, sa e anti-bilious medicine, use the lomato Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon he in this city- Wo all know something about this.

The formula or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue and hazard by W Chevercs, from the celebrated Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu siness in the North-west with the Indians. — Wabenoshe prized highly and use it wit h hr variable success throughout his two tribes. Its known and valued virtues have already enriched to art a most incredible extent the children of tins war ike prince, not only by actual sale of the article itself to in dividuals, tiut by parting with copies of his receipt at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the Great Spirit, never to divulge the ‘art of its com position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although free to use it in their respective tribes, which places it in tile hands of every Indian who rely with, I may say, religious confidence on its cura ble powers. lie ow is a copy of the translation as near as it can be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshe. to ;VI.

Maurice speaks of the noble po int with enthusiasm, and loves to relate anecdotes of him. He told us, tht it Lord Byron never en tered his boat without a case of pistols, which he always kept hy him; a rery superfluous ceremo ny. as Maurice seemed t a think. Ho represent ed him as generally silen t and abstracti d, passing whole hours on the lake absorbed in reflection, and then suddenly wrilii ig, with extreme rapidi ty. in a hook he always had with him. He des cribed his countenance, to use his own phrase, as ••magii ff/uc .” and diffi- rent from that of all oth er men, hy its pride, ( j'itrle was the word he used. “He looked up al the heavens,” said Mau rice. “as it he thought i t was his proper place, or rather he accused it, ol ’ keeping hint here ; for lie is a man who fears nn thing, nbiwe or bi.luw, He passed whole nights 011 the lake, always se lecting the most lioisterou s weather for such ex peditions. I never saw a rough evening set In, while ins lordship was a ( Diodalli,” continued Maurice, “without being s tire that he would send forme; and the higher the wind, and tire more agitated the lake, the more he enjoyed it. We have often remained ont eighteen hoinrs nt a time, and in very bad weathi nr. Lord Byron is so good a swimmer, that he hi is little to dread from the water. Door Mr. (Si telly.” resumed Maurice, “ah I we were all sorr y for him?

This was, in language somewhat different, die senti ment of our boatman's ac omit of Byron and Shelly, two of the mos I remarkable spirits of the age. Ho seemed to ad mire the first, but it is ev ident he loved the si icond. How intellectual must the intercourse of two such minds have been; ami how advantageous to Byron must have been the philanthropy, and Sclal freedom from bitterness of Shel ly. Even the unworldli ness of Shelly’s mind must have possessed an additional charm in s« milling the- irritability of Byron’s too sensitive gmd misanthropic disposi tion ; soured and disg listed hy the conventional habits and artificial so. rietv, from the trammels of which he had hut Intel y broken, with the wounds which it had inflicted on his feeling, still rank ling.—ld Ur in Italy. French and Kn giisa.—A Contrast. A man with nn air half soldier, half mechanic is seen loitering in c hat wuh some neighbour, at the doors of the unt sly abodes that, few and far between, are scattered along the sides of the roads in France; or else arr, a culinc, ill-favoured look ing woman fills up tin i doorway, cutting, wuh a large knife, a wedge of bread, that, in colour em ulates the lint of her complexion; while a lew sturdy, sallow-laced children, seem to hid defi ance to the angry reproofs she occasionally be stows on them, for tormenting the long-legged pigs, lanky dogs, and skinny cats, t hat unhappily fall in their way. Haw often have I, when trav elling in “lie environsof some English city, look ed with delight on the neat dwellings, and their trim gardens redolent with (lowers, lb a are thick ■ ly strewn hy the road’s side. The. luxuriant growth of the flowers indicated the care bestowed 1 on their culture; the duhliahs flaunted in all the pride of their gorgeous hues; and every autumnal > garden guest bloomed so richly as to make one ’ | lorgel the roves they succeeded. The grass plots I were green, and smooth as velvet; the gravel walks displayed wot a single faded ieaf. or weed, to sully their parity; and the hallustrades and rail ings, nay- the very walls that enclosed the plea s sure grounds looked as if they were well washed 1 -every day.

Her dress, though simple, is so tasteful ns to hear irrefragable proof that itsoflect has been carefully studied. A beau tilul child, oftwo years old, is in her ams; and she glances from the window to the timepiece with something of impatience, as she notes that it is a few minutes later than the usual h air o her husband’s return. ISurse, who stands in the hack-ground, ventures to hint at the propriety of little master's going to bed; hut the handsome mother declares ho shall he kept to get a kiss from papa. Her cheek becomes more rosy, her eyes brighter, for a tilherry is driven rapidly to the gate; a prancing steed, down whose arched neck the dropping perspiration denotes the impatience with which his master has urged his speed, paws the ground; the reinsure thrown over his hack, ere the knowing little groom-hoy can run to his head; and a tall handsome young man springs from the vehicle, and rapidly rushes lowa ds the house : at the door of which he is met by his pretty wife, around whom and Ins child his eager anna are soon wound.

At the late term of the Supreme Court of the United States, a case was decided of great public interest, and with the permission of Mr. I’elers, the Reporter, we publish the points decided, and which must hereafter rule the conduct of the pro prietors of stage coaches. \\ illium li. rtlokes, Plaintiff in Error, v». Fran* cic W. Saltonslall. hi Semptember. 1837, the Ifefendanl in Error, Mr. Sullonstall, instituted an action in the Cir cuit t'oiiit «l Mary land, for the recovery of dam ages against the defendant, the owner of a line of stages for carrying passengers Irom Baltimore to Wheeling. On the 6th of December, 1836, Mr. Sallonslall and his wife wore passengers in the stage, and i\y the card ssness, unskilfulneM and default of the driver, the stage was upset,and Mrs. Sallonslall most severely injured. The ju ry found a verdict for the plaintiff for .seven limit mind dollars, and exceptions having been taken to the charge of the Court, the defendant, Mr. Stokes, prosecuted a writ of error to the Su preme Court. After full argument by very able Counsel, the following principles were unstained by the unani mous opinion of the Court, delivered by Mr. Jn.v hce Barbour. 1. An action against the owner of a stage coach used for carrying passengers, for an injury sustained by the wile ul one of th* passengers, hy tins upsetting ot the coach, the owner is not liable, unless the injury was occasioned by the negligence or want of proper skill or care in the driver of the carriage, in which he and his wife were passengers; and the facts that the carriage was upset, and the plaintiff's wife injured, arc prima. facie evidence that there was carelessness, or negligence or want of shill on the pari of the driver; and throws upon the defendant the bur den ol proving that, the accident was not occa sioned by the driver’s fault. 2. It being admitted that the carriage was-up set and the pla miffs injured, it was jncumlwnt on the defendant to prove that the driver was a person of competent skill, of good habits, and in , every respect qualified and suitably prepared for the business in which he was engaged; and that he acted on this occasion with remarkable skill, ! and with the utmost prudence and caution; anil il the disaster in (jiieslion was occasioned by the least negligence, or want of skill, or prudence on his part, then the defendant is liahla in this ac tion. 3. II (here was no want of proper skill, or care or caution on the part of the driver, and the stage was upset by the net of the plaintiff or his wife, in rashly and improperly springing from it, then the defendant is not liable to this action ; hut it the want of proper skill or rare of the driver placed the passengers in a state of peri), and they bad at any time a reasonable grounj for suppo sing the stage would upset, or that the driver was incapable of managing the horses, tic plaintiff is entitled to recover; although the jury may be lieve, .bom the position in which the stage war phi'Til by the negligence of the driver, tho ah tempt of the plaintiff or his wife to escape may have increased the peril, or even caused the stage to upset; and although they may also find that the plaintiff and his wife would have probably sust; tilled little or no injury if they had remained in th e stage. 4, Il the driver was a person of competent skill, and in every • aspect (qualified and suitably preps red tor the business in-which he wao enga ged, and the accident was occasioned by no fault, or want of skill or care on his part, or that of the defen riant or his agents, hut by physical disability, arising from extrema and unusual cold, which rendered him incapable for the time to do his du ly, the in the owner of the stage is not liable, in an action for the'damages fur «n injury to one of the pa iwengors.
