Wuo 1s Dost Manonsep t—This i swered. About one hundred years since, Nadir Shah, monarch of Persia, invaded Upper India; some of his troops were Afighans, commanded by Ahmed Shah. On returning to Persia, Nadir was assassinated. Ahmed stole a large quantity of his treasure—went off home to the mountains—called himself “Pearl of the Age,” and was made first king of Affghan. He invaded India four times, and died in 1773. His son, Timour Shah, reigned a quar- ter of acentury, and died about 1800. Four of his sons, Humaioon, Shah Zamaun, Mahmoud, and Shah Shoojah, then fought for the throne. Mumaioon seized on Candahar. Shah Zamaun seized on Cabul, and put out Humaioon’s eyes. Shoojah was made Zamaun’s jewel keeper at Peshawur. Mahmoud, who was made Governor of Herat, then seized on Candahar, fought and seized his brother Zamaun, and puthis eyes out, and was made king, At last Shah Shoojah revolted, dethroned Mahmoud, and put him in prison, Mahmoud made his escape, raised an army, at the head of which he placed Futteh Khan, and took Candahar, in 1810. Shah Shoojah fought them, was beaten in two bloody bat- tles, and flew to Runjeet Sing, at Punjaub. Mah- moud was made king again, and then brutally put out the eyes of Futteh Khan, and afterwards put him to death. Futteh Khan had three brothers; one then seized Cabul, one seized Candahar; the third seized Cashmere. The first one vas named Dost Mahommed; between them they killed Mahmoud. Dost Mahommed then, under pretence of protecting himeelf against the aggressions of Runjeet Sing, in- vited Russia to his assistance. Accordingly, a Bus- sian general led the Persians against Herat, and this brought the British down on Dost Mahommed, to dethrone him and put Shah Shoojah back on the throne. NEW YORK HERALD. New York, 7 hursday, April 21, 1843, Negociations with England—The Ash) ton Special Mission—Peace and Friend- ship. According to the best information from Washing- ton and elsewhere, it is now almost certain that, with an ordinary share of common sense and com- mon prudence, all the difficulties between Hagland and the United States will be settled and terminated by the ashburton mission, and in a manner satislac- tory to both countries. The Boundary (Question 1s already ina fair train, and according to our accounts from England and Africa, the right of search cannot form any point of difference. By an arrival at Salem, we learn that on a recent occasion the British brig of war Brisk twice boarded the brig Mermaid, of Salem, on the coast of Africa. The Captain of the Mermaid says that he was “treated, on both occasions, with great civility by the boarding officer, and no attempt was made to search his vessel. The officer would not even enter the cabin, without a particular invitation. Captain C. was informed by British officers, at St. Helena, that their government kad given precise orders to abstain from proceedings of an offensive nature, such as the removal of hatches, and similar proceed- ings which have been complained of heretofore. Even in the British colony of St. Helena, public opinien was strongly expressed against the former seizure of the bark Jones, of Salem.” This seems to correspond with the principles laid down in Lord Aberdeen’s Jetter to Mr. Everett, about the orders sent out to American cruisers not to molest Ameri- can merchantmen. So far, so well. The other points of difference are matters of indemnity, involving no principles, but mere small amounts, not suflicient to create a ripple on the surface of society. But the most im- portant moyement made by England, calculated to cement the peace of the two countries, is the new modification of the British tariff, proposed by Sir Robert Peel. This tarifftakes away the ground on which the ultras of both countries stood—and comes downwards to the principles of free trade and reci- procity, to an extent far beyond the hopes of the most sanguine. If this new tariff goes into opera- tion in England, it will vastly increase the trade be- tween the two countries, and bind them both in more amicable bonds than aay anticipated. We fancy, then, that Lord Ashburton will fiad every thing smooth and agreeable in his mission, and that it will terminate to the satisfaction of both countries. Tue Arranan War. p to 1839, this war had cost the British government $60,000,000. Since then, it has cost $15,000,000 every year. Tue Foaty-rovrta Baitisn Reoment.—This re- giment, which has been annihilated by the Affghans, iz but too well known in this country. This was the regiment that formed part of Gen. Packenham’s army at the battle of New Orleans; it was then un- der Gol. Mullens, and was disgraced there for not bringing up the fascines in time; and to this circum- tance, the disasters of that fatal day were attributed. The regiment then lost their colors, and were sent to [ndia to regain them. They have all perished. Five Potnts Lirerarvre —If you desire to revel in the midst of Five Points literature, read the “ Courier and Enquirer,” and the “‘ New York Ame- rican.” These journals daily contain columns of the lowest, most vulgar, most blackguard, most fe- rocious libels against the President of the United Orrtcrat Canvass ron Mayon.—The result of the late election for Mayor, as it has been declared officially is as follows :—Morris’s majority is 1878.

A.—We understand that Mr. Theodore Lacombe, son of Doctor Adolphus La- combe, a member of the Medical Society of the City of New York, has been appointed by Mr. Da- vid, the French Charge d’Affaires, Secretary to the French legation at Caraccas, Venezuela. According to this statement, it seems that we of the “ Herald” came out at the little end of the horn. For once Co]. Webb of the regular army is right. He estimated oar force at 25. Well, no matter. If only 22 persons will vote for our ticket, we have 22,000 persons who take the Herald at two centsa picee—and that’s a devilish sight better than any quantity of dirty votes that make men quarrel. Presentment or Prate.—An elegant silver vase, of Grecian form, and most finished werkmanship was last evening, in the very middle ,of the dance, presented to Mr. Charruaud, at his rooms in White street, by his friends and pupils. It was manufac- tured by Thomson, of William street. The following is the inscription :— PRESENTED TO (MR. J. CHARRUAUD | By his friends and pupils, As a testimonial of the esteem Which they entertain for him as a Gentleman, And as a manifestotion of the high respeet in which they hold him asa Teacher of the art of Dancing. New York, April, 1942. This is dancing to some purpose. The Ball went off with great eclat. The ladies were beautiful— the gentlemen elegant. Tue Commons Councit.—It is now ascertained that the locofocos are determined to hold on to the Sth ward, as it hasbeen decided by their inspectors, re- jecting the gum tickets. They also intend to re- fuse Mr. Allerton his seat as Assistant Alderman for the 12th ward; and to entirely annul the election in the 6th ward. This, asa matter of course, is pro- ducing a great deal of excitement, and a great deal of interest all over the city. And one of the imme- diate results is, a libel suit against a party paper the “Tribune,” which will probably end in an indict- ment; and no doubt cause a series of libel suits, and indictments all round, before they get through with it. This will produce a terrible collision shortly. Already, the clubson both sides are organising for the coming contest, and getting brimfull of fight; and therefore in the first week of May we may expect terrible smashing work, and any quantity of broken heads. “Blood will flow,” in this quarrel, and there is no mistake about it. Svccrss 1x THe Six Cutture.—We notice in the Farmers’ Register,published at Petersburg, Va., the following remarks in a letter to the Editor, from Robert Sinclair, of Baltimore, a member of the So- ciety of Friends:—‘‘ I succeeded admirably in rais- ing silk last season; I sold for cash to the amount of $357, and I am fixing to raise largely this season, having a good house well fixed, plenty of trees, and eighty ounces of good eggs; hands about me who have now had some experience, and from some ac- count of costs kept last season, 1 am confident that after having the three above requisites, Ican raise silk in the cocoon state at $1 per bushel, er say, what when reeled will make one pound.” Srare Crenrr.—Every day only adds to the credit of the State, and the value ot its stock, since the Le- gislature passed recent measures and adjourned.— Yet Gevernor Seward and his friends, who run the State debt up from 7 to 25 millions, in three years, are throwing discredit on those men who have saved New York from the catastrophe of Mis- sissippi, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Politici of such narrow views cannot deceive inteliigence.— Thurlow Weed cannot change his policy, or give up his soap suds. Lapis’ Jupemenr Seat—GentLemen Atrexp— Savaoes Come Forru—Gorus ne Romanizep.—The important trial commenced on Monday evening, April 18th, at 7 o'clock, before the Ladies’ Judgment Seat. at the Hall, 187 Bowery, to try, on its merits, if the Hudson Fire Insurance Company or any other party or persons, have any just claim for or against the Bethel Baptist Burying Place, or not. Also, if any company, party,or power on earth, have a right,in ac- cordance with bible equity, orfemale jurisprudence, to remove the dead from a regular burying place, un- der circumstances which the Hudson Fire Insurance Company have recently and boldly threatened to do from the Bethel Baptist Burying place, or not. This trial is continued every fair evening, at the same hour and place, until the facts are fully known, and the great cause be decided on, by this high and hon- orable, and fair and lovely tribunal. A splendid rea- soning address, mixed with bright bits of poetry, will be delivered on the subject, at the opening of each session of the Court, by some of our most dis- tinguished male and female orators, as they are en- gaged in this cause. The public, with all surviving relatives of the dead, are invited to attend. Alder- man Purdy is to preside, if he ean. Srrexpiy Paeacuina.—The Rey. Mr. Kirk preached a capital sermon the other evening in the Mercer street church. Mr. Kirk is a tall spirit in the kingdom of God on earth. We advise every sinner to go and hear him. He preaches at the same place to-night. Ocean Sreamens ayp THE AncHiMEpEs Screw.— We have seen a model of a vessel, with the Arche- diag Screw, invented by Smith of London, and should think, that a propeller, having so much pow- er, would send a ship through the water with great speed. This model is in the possession of Captain Russell Sturgis, Ne. 54 Pine street, who is the agent for the screw in this country. It should be seen by every scientific and naval man. It4s so compact that it can be applied to vessels already built, and its size can be increased for ves- sels of three thousand tons, and diminished for ves sels small enough to run through our canals. It is applied in the dead wood of a vessel, occupies none of the important part of the interior, and is an aux iliary in steering. It ean be disconnected, and offrs no retardiation to a vessel when under canvass. And asthe whole is submerged, no shot can reach it, and a vessel with such a propeller is, therefore, out of danger and cannot be crippled. We look upon it as a most important iavention, and do not hesitate to say that in the course of a few years all ocean steamers, and especially war steam ers, will be propelled by submerged machinery,such as this screw. As itis to be applied to the great iron steamer building at Bristel, Eagland, everything relating to its performance will be read with atteation, We thereiore give the following :— (From the Bristol (Eng.) Magazine. The opinion we originally expressed in favor of this excellent invention, we o t this period reiterate; and if we h givings on the subject in the earlier stages of the experiment» of the Archimedes, we have none now.

Revenve Sew —A fine new revenue cutter, called the Forward, was launched at Washington last Tuesday. Navav.—Three new brigs, named respectively, Truxton, Somers and Bainbridge, after three naval heroes, have jast been launched, one at Norfolk, one at Brooklyn, and the other at Charleston. They are of the same model, and beautiful clipper vessels. The U. S. schooner Flirt, arrived at St Augustine ‘on the 9h inst. from Indian Key. The following is a list of officers attached to her:— John T. McLaughlin, Lieut. Commanding ; C. St.G Noland, ist Lieutenant; Louis M’Lane, T. B Huger, J. T. Rutledge, and Q.

The various medical and surgical cliniques recept- ly established continue in operation, and with the exception of Dr. Pattison’s, attract crowds of stu- dente. Dr. Parker’s clinique for surgical cases was re- markably well attended last Monday. The Profes- sor operated on several cases of strabismus, and per- formed several other important and interesting ope- rations. ; Dr. Levett’s clinique for Diseases of the Chest, is deservedly considered a great attraction by the pro- fession. Many of our most distinguished physicians attend it. The cases are selected with great judg- ment, and the students are making the most rapid and satisfactory progress on the use of the stethes- cope. Dr. Bulkley’s clinique for cutaneous diseases is also avery valuable school of practical instruction in aclass of affections which must of all other, be seen, in order to be understood. A great number of remarkably interesting cases where exhibited—their peculiar characteristics peinted out with great clear- ness, and their oppropriate treatment accurately and lucidly detailed. A Besides these cliniques, several courses of lectures are given at the Crosby street college, at a mere no- minal fee. These combined and unrivalled attractions have collected a very numerous class of students from all parts of the Union and Canada. A great revolution is certainly going on. The Lancet is re- porting these lectures and cliniques, and is contri- buting its efficient aid in advancing this great move- ment for the reform of medical education, which bas thus so auspiciously commenced at one of our oldest and most respectable colleges. Dr. Patinson’s clinique, we regret tosay, was very poorly attended on Saturday. The Professor pre- scribed for two or three babies very much afflicted with the ‘bowel complaint.” Dr. P. manfully struggles through his difficult task of regenerating this clinique. Indeed we don’t know which most to admire—Dr. Mott’s magnanimity in leaving the field to Dr. Pattison—or Dr. Pattison’s heroic possession of it, and— “ Greatly falling with a falling state!” However, we rejoice to see the war kept up between the two schools, and now that they have the Lancet to show fair play, and prevent either of the bellige- rent parties from availingjthemselves of any trickery, we hope they will fight it out, to the utter discom- fiture of all quacks, and the good of the public health Fovurensm.—His Binrupay.—A few amiable modern philosophers, blessed or cursed with a ri- diculous weakness, have latterly been making a great fuss about Fourierism ; laying down plans for the entire remodelling and reconstruction of soci- ety, and showing that every soul in the world has been living, moving, and breathing upon wrong prineiples for the last six thousand years; and thay they alone have just hit upon the true mode of en- joying life, by eating bran bread, adopting Mrs. Gove’s self-restraining policy in matrimonial mat- ters, eating equashes instead of beef, and doing and not doing Heaven only knows what. These modern squash philosophers whose brains are as weak as their bodies, have mixed up a little transcendentalism, a little universalism, a little phrenology, a little Grahamism, a little mormonism, a little squashism, a little teetotalism, and nota little infidelity ; and cut of these precious ingredients they have coined a new code of morals and manners for the regulation of society, and a new dictionary of long, badly constructed, novel and ridiculous phrases by which they hope to mislead the million. They lately gave a sort of squash and cold water celebration in honor of Fourier’s birthday at 50 cents a head ; and as the dinner was well worth 62} cents, of course the table was filled. At this dinner one of these wags gave the following beautiful spe- cimen of pure nonsense, as a sample of their new philosophic nomenclature :— Attractive Industry, the Harmony of the Passions, and Attractions proportioned to Destinies—words of power to bid the jarring discords and wild uproars of our false- ly-organized sosieties “ stand ruled.” This isa fair sample of the whole affair, and this precious jargon and piece of folly they think tocram down the throats of intelligent beings in this age of steam and political purity: It will not do. And the fact is,that their great apostle, and demi-god,Fourier, was one of those miserable philosophic humbugs, whose brain was composed of the infidel particles upheaved at the time of the French Revolution, aud he himself, floated like one of Professor Lyell’s bolder formations in a coat of ice over the hills and dales of true social life, down the ocean of time, knowing nothing practically of all that he passed over, and at last died with his brain filled with one large magot, which has since emerged from the chrysalis state, and is now a big white butterfly in this city, feeding on squashes, and is called Fourier- ism. The whole of this nonsense must soon explode from the weight of its own folly. It is impossible to induce a large body of rational beings to herd together like convicts in a jail or paupers, in a workhouse, having all things virtually incommon. This was tried by the celebrated Dale at New Lanark, and failed ; it was tried by Robert Owen at New Harmony, and failed. That remarkable agriculturist, Norman, the great Sussex Gardner, tried it at Hurstperpoint, and failed; that truly great man, philanthropist, and pro- found philosopher, William Allen, the chemist of London, tried it in several places, and failed in all, and lost a large fertune ; Lady Byron tried it in Lei- cestershire on her own estate and failed ; William Pare, the great radical of Birmingham, tried it with his numerous e0-operative societies, and failed in all, the talented author of the “ Revolt of the Bees,” did the same with the same results. And so will the Fourierites and the Squashites. The truth is that the only body that has ever been kept together in any society of this nature, is the Shaking Quakers ; and theirleaders are the greatest religious despots that ever lived. Mahomet was not a beginning to their tyranny. And they have been kept fogether upon principles utterly repugnant to every well-regulated mind and body, at variance with the first law of the Almighty Creator to “ in- crease and multiply,” and upon a system whieh if carried out by all would soon bring the world up with a round turn, and that too before even the year 1844. The species would be extinct. Let all such nonsense therefore be treated with the contempt it deserves.

Court of Common Pleas. Before Judge Ingraham. Arait 20—Sam, F.Jones and others vs. Rider § Billings — Trover.—This was an action to recover $993 21, the amount of property asserted to have been obtained of plaintiffs under false pretences. Messrs.

His “honeyed words” had the desired effect, a line of credit was allowed him to the extent of $500. This the firm soon contrived to jump,and by a continua: tion of protestations as to “ exceedi erent ability” got into the plaintiffs to nearly double that amount ; soon after which they found it convenient to pocket proceeds, or at least not hand them to plaintiffs, andto shut up shop. The jury found the accusation to be correct, and gave a verdict in favor of plaintiff, assessing the damages at $1062 73. [This verdict, at the time of the action being brought, would have subjected the defendants to imprisonment, but we understand by a recent decision of the Supreme Court, such cannot follow in actions brought on account of contracts in a civil court. laintiffs.

Congressional Sketches. Joun Quincy ADamMs—Now a member of the House of Representatives, has filled so large a space inthe public eye for so long a time, and his history is so well known by the people of this country, that it will be superfluous in these short sketches to give any thing more than a suceinct sy- nopsis of his career. He enterd the public service forty-eight years ago, and bas been in constant em- ployment ever since. In 1794 he was appointed minister to the Nether- lands. 1n 1796 minister to Portugal. In 1797 minister to Prassia. In 1803 he}was elected a Senator, and remained in that body until 1509, at which time he was sent as Minister to Russia. On his return in 1811, he was appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1813 he was sent as one of the Associate Ministers at the treaty of Ghent. In 1815 he received the appointment of Minister to England, and while abroad in 1817 was selected by Mr. Monroe as his Sccretary of State, in which of- fice he continued until the time of his elevation to the Presidency in 1825. In 1832 he took his seat in the lower House of Congress, where he has beena prominent member continuously from then to the present day: Mr. Adams is now seventy years of age, and be- gins to chow the marks of time. His figure is of the medium height, and he seems to have become much broader of late ; his head is nearly bald with sil- ver sprinkled locks. His manner is naturally cold and formal, but at times he is most jocund and plea. sant; he loves wit and humor, and will laugh till the tears fall from eyes ata good anecdote. mode of g is regular and temperat ever ready to join in any innocent festivity; he takes a cold bath daily before sunrise, and most generally walks to and from the Capitol, a distance of nearly three miles, and never wears an overcoat except in times of severe weather. We met short time since coming from the Capitol at a late hour, without a coat or umbrella in a drizzling rain, walking briskly along like the humblest man in the crowd. Heis most assiduous in his duties at the House; he is never absent, eat day or night—he sees every thing that transpires there; nothing escapes him; he keeps a daily record of the minutest events of his life, and has now, it is sixty volumes of manuscript journal. Very pinched Fac his wars will wae and m2. is off a set of \. he i listened to attentively; memb: E and crowd around him. Hi: rill, ry cry of “Mr. Speaker,” will arrest the ear the most n and tumultuous moment. The trea- sures of his mind are so rich that his mental pow- ers never tire in debate. Mr. Adams is more known abroad than any of eur public men, having lived so long at foreign courts, and he has been on intimate terms at times with Nicholas, Colincourt, Metteuich, Canning, Wilberfore, Lafayette, Talleyrand, and many other great actors of the last half century. We are not his history, therefore shall not speak of itics or his prejudices. y may have en- mities towards the: Pt in remem- only the frotrg th vetues will only he he: brance. Wictram Rurvs Kine, of Alabama, has been 23 years a member of the Senate of the United States, and by his loag continued service, has become the fatherof that very honorable and august body, but Mr. King is stilla young man. Mr King first came to Congress, ata very early age, sentative from North Carolina, in 1811 twoterms until after the war. He voted in caucus for the noninat of Mr. Monroe, and shortly after, received appointment of Seer bosytben to Russia, whither he went wi Pinku that State was admitted into the Union, and was the first Senator elected in 1819, which distin- guished position he has ever since held. Mr. King is tall and graceful in person, with those manners aman generally acquires in a long intercourse with polite and distinguished society—of much kindness of heart, unoffending, and always the entleman.

The action wasto re- be hey icy of insnrance, effected by plaintiff, at the office of the of the above company in this city, on xer, valued and insured at $2500. The policy extended for six months, and allowed the vessel “the privilege to be employed in the West India trade. including Demarara und Bermuda.” The vessel was lost near Santa Martha, on the 7th of February, 1839, while on a voyage from Jamaica to Santa Martha” Uaseaworthin. id that she was not lost under the policy, because Santa Martha was not in the West Indies, it being @ port on the Spanieh Main, On the trial it was proved that the vessel was entirel: rotten in her flooring, ard otherwise so decayed as to by unfit to be raised frem the place where she was sunk The defendant’s counsel contended that from the survaya. produced by plaintiffs they should be defeated in the su under therottea clause” ofthe policy. The master of the vessel was called by plaintiffs, and testified that the vessel was tight, staunch and sirong, when she ssiled from Ja- maica. Several merchants, ship masters, and insurers, were called to testify whether Santa Martha was consid- | ered as being in the West Indies. Several testified thet | they so considered it, from the fact of its being one of the ports on the Carribean sea. Others differedffrom this o jon, on the ground that the appellation West Indie: cluded no other ports except those of the islands.

Extraordinary Case Of one of the most intelligent men of r (Ohio,) April 15, 1842. GENTLEMEN :—In compliance with my ise, I ; now procced to inform you of the result of the trial’ I have madeof theetficacy of Dalley’s Magical Pain Ex- tractor, er Ointment, ina severe case of the piles. It is, however, proper for me to say, that Iam from priacij op} to the system so often adopted, of pufhing worth~ less medical compounds ; and having known instances of well moaning men being induced hastily to endorse nostrums which, after more thorough eapitieace, proved unworthy of the encouiums bestowed upon them, I re- solved not to give my name to any thing that should not stand the test of a protracted trial. Some three or four years since I became slightly affected with the piles, which gradually and almost imperceptibly grew worse, at times being more and less troublesome, until last July, { when owing to some derangement of the bowels, the disease assumed very rapidly an extremely severe and painful character. ‘The tumors had become exceseively enlarged, and I was obliged at all times to wear a com- press, in order to attend to any business whatever. At this time a ¢hronic dysentery set ther a dysen tery secretion was constantly go: the rectum, which greatly aggravated the di and set at defiance theremedies prescribed, either takon as medicine or lied locally ; and thus suffering what only those who- have been so afilicted can imagine, and no ene can de- scribe, I took the occasion which providentially offered of going to New York, with the view of submitting to @ surgical operation. On arriving in New York,1 by ac- cident learned thet“ Dalley’s Magical Pain Extractor,” or ointment, tof be found at Comstocks,71 Maiden lane, had effected a remarkable cure in 9 case so lar to mine, and I was induced to make on rial. As soon asl commenced using this tag 8 the violent symptoms abated, the dysinteric discharges were corrected, a healthy action ensued,’ and for the first time in meny months 1 was permi to rest in bed through the night. The tumors had be- come so much enlarged and so prominent that nothing short of a surgical operation could have suddenly re- duced them, but as they were evidently growing less,. and as the distressing symptoms had abated and my ge neral health recovering, | concluded to let well enough vlone,and have by means of ene application daily been eed certainly recovering.
