A rather noted person who advertised ‘‘love powders’? under the name of Dr. Valpeau, was arrested yesterday by order of Mayor ‘Wood. The Dr. in his advertisement, prom- ised on the receipt of $2, to send to any part of the Union, some kind of powders. which would make the users fall in love with each other. Ifa man wanted to succeed in his suit with his sweetheart. all he had to do was to put some of the powder into her food, and lo! she would follow him like his shadow itis unnecessary to say that the thing is an un- mitigated humbug, and were it not for the AMUSEMENTS.

Health of our Minister to France.—From agentleman who has recently enjoyed fre- quent opportunities, in Paris, of meeting with our Minister at the Court of France, we are happy to learn that Judge Mason has entirely recovered his health. It is the more gratify- ing to be able to make this statement, as it so rarely occurs that a person, after attaining his age, has the good fortune to recover from the effects of a severe paralysis, the usual ten- dency of which is, not only to leave the consti- tutions of much younger persons greatly im paired, but to repeat its attack with increased severity before the system has entirely re- covered from the effects of a first shock, We are quite sure that this information will prove agreeable, not only to the many Americans who heave enjoyed the hospitality of Judge Mason in Paris, and to his personal friends generally, but to the country at large, which he so ably represents. Up to this time we have been skeptical as to the entire truth of the accounts to the same end, previously reach- ing us; but tho testimony is such that we can no longer resist its force. His cure has cer- tainly been a miracle, as it were, in inedical science, if his affection was really paralysis.

Commanding Tilghman, now at that port, to proceed immediately in search of the bark Amelia. She sailed from Port-au-Prince for New York on the 24 of December last, having been scized under suspicion of being connected with some fillibuster enterprise. The Amelia was placed in charge of Lieut. Reed Weryen, of the Navy, having Masters Henry Erben and James @. Maxwell, with a crew of men on board. P.S. We learn by the last California steam- er that a strange barque was very recently seen going into Charlotte Harbor on the west coast of Florida, an isolated place. Such an occurrence was so novel that the collector at Key Wost despatched the cutter to ascertain what she was, thinking her the Amelia in dis- tress. detraction, such as one rarely hears here, even from a drunken man whose associations are above the level of the commonest doggerie® and stews of Washington. This system of per- sonal detraction of President Pierce, it is well known, by the by, Senator Hale is in the habit ofcarrying out nightly in the hotel halls and bar rooms of this city. On a night or two after his speech to which wo refer above, this same individual went to a levee, accompanied with two ladies, who were kindly and courteously received by the Presi- dent, who refused to acknowledge in any man- ner the presence of their male attendant. Whereupon, the New York Zmes set up a howl as follows: “The cause of offence on the part of the Senator, which so worked upon the mind of the President as to induce him to act ina manner so unbecoming his station, was Mr Hale's remarks upon the Anu Message in the Senate. The insult offered by the Presi dent, therefore. was not an accidental expres- sion of malevolent feeling towari personal enemy, which a man of strong passions might be betrayed into; but it was a deliberate out- Tage towards a political opponent who had dared to criticise his acts before the Senate and the country, “Mr Hale had the samo right to visit the Presidential mansion that other decently dressed citizen bad, on the sion of apublic Teception, and, if he could forget his political differences, the President had no right to re- member them.

We had a snow shower yesterday that was singular for its violence and brevity. I was looking out of my window admiring the bril- liancy of the sun, and the fair creatures moy- ing to and fro along Broadway. In aa instant the sky became almost as black as midnight, and flakes of snow, nearly an inch square, were falling upon the heads of the pedestrians. A general scamper ensued. Ladies, lifting their dresses with both hands, started off with the speed and about the grace of ostriches. Their hoops and arms swinging in the air, re- sembled much the pendulous motion of the wings of that bird when in rapid flight: but they had scarcely reached a place of shelter, when the sun again smiled sweetly upon them; or, perh; laughed heartily at their stam- ede. ere it not not that an inch of snow ay upon the walks, a person might persuade himself that he had been laboring two or three minutes—the time the shower oceupied—un- der some optical delusion.

Wemake this correction, as, without it, our article in question would be in- complete, and, therefore, it would not convey the whole truth in the premises. The Fourth Reception.—The ‘still, starry night ;'’ the approach of Lent ; and the ecdat with which the preceding receptions had gone off, attracted a “ goodlie companie’’ to the White House last evening.

Mr Jones, formerly a banker in Alba- ny, N. Y., ewned forty shares, and Mr. Wes- ley a like number. They were the moneyed men of the concern. Mr. Raymond, although advancing no ¢ owned twenty shares as an equivalent for his editorial services. Be- fore the concern paid, Jones and Wesley sold thirty shares to Harper, a son of one of the publishers of that name. Last June a divi- dend of fifteen per cent. was paid to the stockholders; but some dispute having arisen, Harper offered to sell out for fifty thousand dollars—ten thousand dollars cash down, and the remainder periodically, holding ‘ Times stock’’ as collateral security. Jones bought it, and paid the ten thousand ; but after hav- ing received the cash Harper refused to de- liver the stock, saying he only meant to joke, and beside his father was the real owner— hence the suit.
