NEW YORK HERALD. , Wean Wastinoton CorrEspon’ r i rem.— We are organizing a Washington Correspon dence of anew, literary, philosophical and inde- | pendant system, different from any that we have hi therto presented to our readers. It will be continued during the recessand through the next session of Con- | gress, During part of the lastsession our Washington corresponiience was deficient in interest and details —but we shal! take care to prevent another such oc currence. Our proposed correspondence will be written by different and distinct men, entirely un- | known to any person in V ‘ashington—and they will | give us all the events that take place in the move- ment of governm' without regard to any man or any party. It willbe a free and independent analy- sis of the actions of men and parties, that will pre- sent a true view of things to the world. Fall Business—Brighter Ski we cannot yet say that the times are | wo dollars a day, and roast beef,” yet there are evident symptoms that business will im- | prove in the course of the present autumn. he termination of the session of the Rump Con- gress—the passage of the new tariff or revenue law —and the British treaty—coupled with abundant crops, a limited currency, the shatting up and liqui- dation of rotten banks, and the winding up of rotten men, have produced this tendency in the public mind to expect better days. Within our own expe- rience, we begin to feel these eflects ina large ac cession to business advertising and business cireula- tion, both of which have for the present season, in- creased more than for any like period during four | years past. Nothing is a surer sign of increasing buoyancy of spirit in business, than the increase of advertising. When a trader feels like doing a good business, he feels like advertising liberally—he plants Altho equal to the seeds of his trade, and reaps the returns. But while it is evident that better times are ap- proaching, in spite of the exaggerations of the ras- cally politicians, itis proper that there should be no mistake in the public mind as to the true nature and character of this approaching busy season. The prices, the profits, or the wages of former years need not be expected. No merchant ean ton Dinner—Who ts Queen of the Sea ? The various events connected with this strange occurrence, have been so extraordinary and numer- 3, that it will take a considerable time to bring them all fully before the world. One of (he most extraordinary, however, amongst them, and one clearly and unequivocally indicating the spirit in which the whole thing was done, is the song which was printed and sung with great gusto, and with a loud and enthusiastic chorus? by the “merchant princes” of this ever-memorable feast It is one of the queerest things that was given at this most remarkably queerdinner. Here it is:— The Great Song Composen ay Da. Munir: 1G, Pw 7 ¥ ING, As iG aT THe Famous Fesri- ev ine “Mescnast Patrces” to Lovo Asnauaton. All hail to Britannia ent or St. Paut's henceforth we are one ! | And hail to our guest—her American son ! O’er the Lion and Eagle now hovers the Dove ; To-day there’s a banquet of national love. Chorus.—O, long live their glory, united and free ! The Imperial West and the Queen ef the Sea! ‘The Cross of St. George and Columbia Stars! Ob, ne'er be they stain’d in unnatural wars: With the Olive entwine them,—a sign to the world, Of freedom and peace, wherever unfurl'd. Chorus.—O, long live their glory, united and free ! Phe Imperial West and the Queen of the Sea! By our Ancestors’ blood,—by the spirit they breath’é ; By their time-honored ‘laws,—by the rights they ’be- queath’d y the Muses, the Sages, of soul-ruling powers , By a Burke and a Chatham, though Britain’s, yet ours ; Chorus.—O long live their glory, united and free ! ‘The Imperial West and the Queen of the Sea! By Letters, by Science, by all that can bind, lu links never broke, heart to heart, mind to mind ; More than all, by our Faith,—that bulwark of might, To the Ruler and ruled,—Magna Chartaof Right, Chorus.—O long live their glory, united and free ! ‘The Imperial West and the Queen of the Sea! Bright day for the Earth! when her two freest lands In concord anew have ed their hands. One mo: Liberty sealed ! 10 be never repealed. ‘Then long live their glory, united and free ! The Imperial West and the Queen of the Sea! What? ‘Queen of the Sea!’ Are we, then, (as doubtless it was so intended) to consider this singular song, and its most important chorus, as a commentary on the treaty just concluded between Mr, Webster and Lord Ashburton? If England is the Queen of the Sea, she of course possesses sole power and sovereignty upon the wide ocean ; and if she were so, itis now for the first time made pa:t of a make his twenty, his fifty, or his hundred thousand dollars a year—nor can the mechanic, the journey’ | man, or the laborer, expect the high wages that pre- | vailed in 1835 and ’6. Economy and reform— | cheapness and frugality, in every department of life, and in every class of society, must go hand in hand | with the increase of business and the spring tide of | trade. Men must be prudent, cautious, and careful of the cents, and let the dollars take care of them- As a people, we have been too wasteful and extravagant. ‘The times are coming right, but we must take care not to launch forth into former follies. The riotous and costly habits of life, which have cha racterized the financiers, merchant princes, gentle- | men mechanics, or genteel laborers, must be here- atlerabandoned. The results of such principles in former years, ought to be a lesson to those of the present race of business men. Look at the thou- sands of bankrupts pressing througe the act—see the di ed and dishonored bank and other defaulters, who have wasted the money of the widow and the orphan—mark the drunken groupes of politicians, who have disgraced their country and lineage. All these deplorable examples, ought to be a beacon and a warning to all those who are now. in a sate position to pursue business, and to conduct a healthy and honest calling, hereafter. In the midst of all the elements of the present, there are certain principles that will invariably out- ride every storm. Trust not to banks—trust not to corporations—trust not to credit—trust not the poli- selves. ticians—trast not to persons—trust not to lawyers— trust not to the whigs—trust not to the democrats. What then is to be trusted? That’s easy to tell, but sometimes difficult to practice. Trust to gold and silver—trust to cash payments—trust to good mort- gages on real estate—trust to thrift, early rising, and Trust to economy, constancy and truth— trust to short acconnts, frequent settlements, per- sonal inspection—trust to good intentions, tempe- rance in eating and drinking—and finally trust in the Bible and the spirit of Christianity, as taught in the sermons on the Mount—but not to the sermons of the modern clergy, who think more of salaries than of salvation. energy Mepicat.—Doctor Mott and his venerable tail | seem to labor hard—work early and late—in sea- son and out of season, to convince the public that Doctor Houston, the editor of the ‘ Lancet,” has notadiploma from some college in foreign parts. They have even persuaded Doctor Bulkley to make afool of himself in this business, and assume the Judicrous position of being the last joint added to this wonderful tail. Now, what do the public care whether Doctor Mott eat up Dr. Houston without a tail, or Doctor Houston swallow Doctor Mott with his long tail ? The real questions are thus: 1st—Is_ not the “* Lan- cet” the best medical periodical ever published in this country?) 2d—Is not the New Stuyvesant Me- dical School composed of a parcel of respectable and venerable old women in breeches? 3d—Is not that famous school thatcommenced with such a flourish, a decided failure, in consequence of their foolish conduct and ridiculous professions? 4th—Is not the old Medical School of Crosby street so much im- proved by the rivalry, and by a fresh impulse of energy and liberality, as to take the lead and the pupils during the approaching season? Let Doctor Mott and his tail answer these ques- tions. As to Doctor Houston, he holds a diploma from a higher authority than any impudent college or corporation onearth. He has a certificate from Heaven of the possession of natural intellect and ta- lent, that far, far outstrips that ever possessed by Doctor Mott, or any of his tail, down to the lowest joint Tue Asnsurton Dinner.—Anotner DiscraimEn —We have received the following froin Mr. J. D. Van Buren, one of the committee on the late dinner, and who was selected as one of the principal speak- ers on this occasion. Here it is:— Sin, ‘As my name red in your paper, in connection with the dinner .ord Ashburton, and as one of those re- sponsible for the occurrences there, I beg of you space for a few words—unot of npology, for I have nothing to apolo- | wise for. 1 acceded to the request of the committee, to serve at one of the stewards, because | thought fit, and for the same sufficient reason, should have attended the dinner, | had { been well enough. The stewards had nothing te | do with the preliminary arrangements. As it happened, ill health prevented me from being present, and [ am, therefore, fairly free {rom all responsibility for what took place. It would be idle, now, to say how I should have acted, if present, and if satisfied of a studied insult on the | part of the company to the Chief Magistrate. It is enough | dential office as one that if, and enti- entitled 3% toast, which | at to witness the occurrence, es, the few persons present, with whom Ihave se conversed, all disclaim any intention to receive the ast with disrespect. Your obedient servant, JNO. D. VAN’ BUREN, To the Editor of the Herald. New York, Sept. 6, 184, Very good. On this statement we so far exone- | rate the stewards, Now let us have the disclaimers of the rest, that the blame may be placed in the right syot. At present the {following persons ave implicated :— Committee oF ARRANGEMENTS. Jas. D. P. Ogden Benj. L. Swan Jas. G. King George Griswold Stephen Whitney James Lee Coraelius W. Lawrence Robt. B. Minturn. Wm. B. Astor jat have they to say forthemselves? The pub- lic desire to hear their explanation—and it must be done. treaty between two great nations, and brought for- ward insuch a grave document, in order to form part and parcel of the law of nations hereafter. If England claims to be the Queen of the Sea, it isthe first time that this doctrine has been admitted by Americans, and we thank God it is the first time that ever a company of Americans, at a great public dinner to a foreign functionary in their own or any other coun- try, behaved so dastardly as to acquiesce in the im- pudent assumption, orto spout till they were hoarse in proclaiming such a belief to the world at large. Again—The revolutionary war which, by the blessing of Providence, established the independence of this great country, made it a pure republican coun- try, and not the “Imperial West.” That war taught us in the first place, that on land as well as on sea, no one nation was any longer to bear supreme or queenly sway—that Great Britain was no longer to arrogate to herself exclusive power or privileges upon the ocean. The spell of her invincibility was broken forever by the iron courage of republican America, Beaten back, from point to point, by raw, inexperienced troops, until at last two of her choicest armies surrendered to the skill and bravery of republicans. This at least taught her that she could no longer rule upon land. The last war was occasioned solely by the inso- lence of Great Britain in claiming this very sove- reignty of the ocean; involving,'as it does, the right of search and various other equally important mat- ters, for which we fought and contended so success- fully. 1t was then, perhaps, for the firet time de- monstrated successfully that she was no longer to bear supreme sway onthe ocean. It was then that her flag time after time was humbled to ours, as the Guerriere,the Java,the Cyane,the Levant,the Mace donian and scores of British ships of war,were captur- ed’and sunk, or brought into our harbors. It was then that this ‘Republican West” taught her that her sovereignty over the ocean was gone for ever, and that the stars and stripes of the young Republic were hereafter ever to float proudly by her side. But if we understand this song and its singular chorus—(and songs sometimes speak more forcibly than all the treaties on earth)—then we have given up all that we have fought for throughtwo jong, bloody and expensive wars—given up all that our Revolutionary Fathers achieved so manfully; and Lord Ashburton has accomplished more by this treaty than all the ‘armies, and navies, and treasure of Great Britain combined against this country, could by any possibility ever achieve. Such is un- questionably the tenor of this singular song, which was sung with such gusto at the $10 dinner by the “‘Merchant Princes” of New York. This is a very strong point, but it is one that most clearly marks the motives, and shows the purposes, and sentiments, and feelings of the men who got up that dinner. And this class of society may rest as- sured that its members are marked for everlasting reprobation by the American people—this class of society is the same that got up the tom-foolery to Dickens in this city—and the same class have now got upthis insulting dinner, and in the name of the country, endeavored to disgrace the Chiet Magis- trate of the nation. This is the truly contemptible class that find their greatest enjoyment in acting as miserable toadies to European aristocracy ; and all those habits, man- ners and feelings, which they attempt to introduce and to pass current in this country, are copied from the lowest species of what is termed “ beggarly aris- tocracy” in Europe, and therefore are utterly uncongenial to the people of this country.— And they may rest assured that in’society—at allthe watering places — wherever they go— these poor contemptible cliques, who are the vulgar toadies of European aristocrats, and who only intro- duce here the worst features of that class, are mark- ed for reprobation by the American people. As yet we have only had five namea, Preserved Fish, Theodore Sedgwick, Prosper M. Wetmore, Mayor Morris, Mr. Martin, the importer, (besides the nine reporters,) who have come out like men, and disclaimed being involved in the disgrace in- separable from that most extraordinary occasion. How are we to obtain a list of all those who were present on that oecasion, and who joined in the grand chorus proclaiming Great Britain to be “Queen of the Sea?” Did Commodore Perry sit still and join in this insult to the memory of his gallant brother? Who will furnish us with a complete or partial list of these ‘‘Merchant Princes?” Had they “ an utter loathing” vo the American flag, as they profess to have had for the President in person? This point ought to be known. New York Leois.ature—Tue ArporTionMENT— Tur Conrerence.—The joint committee of confe- rence, on the bill to divide the State into Congress districts, came to an agreement on Monday, on all the points of difference between the two houses, ex- | cept asto the city of New York—the arrangement of the northern districts, and the union of Tioga, Broome, and Chenango, being agreed to on the part of the Senate, and the House assenting to such an arrangement of the western districts as to prevent the division of Erie. General Dix’s resolutions, as reported by the committee of sixteen, in regard to the mandatory clause of the apportionment bill, pas- | sed the Honse yesterday by 9 strong vote, and were sent to the Senate for concurrence.

The Court of Inquiry, which we noticed in our pa- per of Tuesday, began itssitting at 12 o’clock,noon, yesterday, at the American Hotel, Broadway.— There was present a goodly array of officers, friends of Gen. Storms, and others, anxious to witness the pregress of the inquiry, whether he isentitled, under the law of the land and general usage, to be briga- dier of the first horse brigade in America, and at the same time commissary general of the State of New York. It is supposed that this inquiry is get on foot by sundry jealous gentlemen, who are quite desirous of supplanting him in one or the other of these high offices ; but we forbear toname them at present.— More hereafter, however. The Court is composed of the following officers :— Maj. Gen. Chas. W. Sand{ord, Ist Division Artillery. Maj. Gen. John W. Cooper, 1st Division Cavalry. Maj. Gen. John F. Townsend, 4th Division Cavalry. Gen. Lewis Averill, 14th Division Infantry. Brig. Gen. H. T. Kiersted, 63d Brigade Infantry. The Judge Advocate, conducting the legal mat- ters of this court, is Brigadier General Robert H. Pruyn. General Storms appears by Colonel Joseph C. Hart. ‘The Court, after settling preliminaries, and over- ruling an objection of Mr. Hart, as to the legality of the formation of the court, and also his objections to the reception of a communication from General Hunt, who appears to avow himself as prosecutor general on this occasion, adjourned until this day. Natvrat History —Granp Exuiirion or a Tat.—In a few weeks will be ready for exhibition the celebrated tail of Doctor Valentine Mott. This is the only true exhibition of the kind ever offered to the public, and will contain every joint of that wonderful tail, and thus entirely outstrip Barnum’s great natural curiosity of the Mermaid, whose tail isnot near so long. A list of the joints of this tail hereafter. Price of admission 50cents each—none admitted without a diploma. Common Council, Boarp or AtpermEN.—Tuesday, Sept. 26.—Spr- crat Meetinc.—The President, Alderman Wood- bull, in the chair. Several petitions were presented and referred.

The ordinance relative to districting the city, and designating the places for holding the polls, was re- ceived from the other board. Amendments as to some of the districts were offered by Aldermen Mar- tin, Leonard, and Lee, but it being necessary that the ordinance should pass this evening (it being the latest period allowed by law), they were rejected, and the ordinance, as it came from the other board, concurred in. t The board teen adjourned to 5 o’clock this aiter- noon. Boarp or Assistant ALDERMEN.—Tuesday, Sept. 6.—Special Meeting.—The President, Asst. Ald. Adams, in the chair. i Petitions—Of Van Norden & King, for payment of a bill—Referred. Of Geo.

Edward Meyer, Pastor of the German Reformed Church in Forsyth street, cannot be found. Warrants are out for him for his participation in the affrey on Sunday last. Jacob Herman, Frederick Herman, Michael : Rapp, John Russell, and George Griswold, have all been arrested on complaint of Ernest Winger, of 18 Bayard street. The scene on Sunday is said to have been the most violent of anything that has come off in these parts since the fight between Sul- livan and Bell on Hart’s Island. By Horse Twieves.—A man named Abraham Cole hired # horse of Wm. G. Sawson, of No. 2 Bedford street, on Saturday, to goto Hoboken, and yester- day it was found that he had sold him to William Stoothoof, of Flatbush, for $6. The horse was worth $50, and the rogue was committed. , | Anorner.—On Friday last a man who said his name was Tages M. Dregs, hired a horse from Al- | bert Seely, of Stamford, Connecticut, to go to Stan- | wich, and yesterday Mr. Briggs was arrested in this | city by Mr. Seely. As he had obtained a new suit, | itis presumed that he has sold the horse, and pock- eted the money. | ARRESTED For Peppiixe Parers.—A boy named a n_ was arrested yesterday, and com- | mitted at the Upper Police Office, for peddling ob- | scene sheets, Tue ‘two-racep Frexcuman.—A ro} D ie named Frank BBurke, alias Chauncey C. Larkin, alias Clark, was arrested and committed on Monday for playing Gabriel Ravel’s part of the two, not three- laced Frenchman, by obtaining a gold watch from J.C, Ayres, of 105 Mercer street, he there repre- senting himeelf as Antoine Ravel, and by after- wards obtaining a pair of boots from a shoemaker, as Gabriel himself. He finally entered the music store of Mr. Waite, in Canal street, and purchased a few shillings worth of music, which he paid for, and ordered it to be sent te Niblo’s; but upon look- ing at the Bienes Mr. W. discovered that the $10 note received had been altered from one of that de- nomination of the Hudson River Bank Association ie hs ae Bank. The rogue was fully com- mittet A Map Butt.—A furious bull, mad from some cause, perhaps the weather, rushed up one of the cross streets yesterday into Broadway, carryin, every thing living in a mass before him, with tail erect, nose to ground, and dust fl ae he bounded forward. Those who promenade roadway were in as feverish a state as they would have been had a locomotive been srotonciung, He dashed at one man, whose name we could not ascertain, and threw him some twenty feet with hishorns, and seve ral others were injured ashe proceeded on his course, and his mad career was finally stayed by the daring intrepidity ofa young man named Horatio N. Ball, of 27 Chrystie street, who pin! rushed forward, hay severed the sinews of his hind legs with a nite. Extensive Conriacration.—Between four and five o’clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in & building between 2st and 22d streets, occupied asa tavern, kept by P. Shepherd, and called the “Buck- horn” Tavern. It soon communicated to two large ranges of stabling, both of which were entirely con- sumed, and four valuable horses, worth one thou- sand dollars, belonging to Mr. Henry C. Platner, of Che: valley, who was boarding at the tavern, pe- tished in the flames. Mr. Shepherd,the occupant,lost about $800 worth of furniture, besides all histen pin alleys, and other fixtures. No insurance. ‘We regret to say,a gentleman named Campbell,was severely in- jured by akick from one of the horses he was en- deavoring to rescue from the flames. Mr. She) herd, in the bustle and confusion, lost a gold watch, worth $162. The buildings were the; pro) my of the Watts’ estate, and were fully insured. Mr. ep. herd’s watch, no doubt, was stolen, Tue Two Mepicat Scuoors.—We advise medi- cal students at the south and west, not to determine which of the two Schools in New York they will attend, till they come on here. A history of the merits of both institutions is preparing, and we are much mistaken if it will not appear that the old, Crosby street School will far outstrip the other in every element of medical education. sions of the recent law—Adopted. _An invitation was received fromthe Young La- dies’ Hope Abstinence Society, for the members to. attend the presentation of a banner at the corner of Erowiyay and Grand street, on Friday next.

Waterinc Praces.—Rockaway is still in full blast, but we suppose this week will wind up its gaieties, although the big sea waves will still break on the shore. Saratoga has had a long seasen—but of all places, commend us to New Brighton and Staten Island in the months of September and Octo- ber. Tue Proposep Mretinc.—We do not think it ne- cessary or desirable to call a meeting to express a sense of the late indignity offered to the President of the United States. The matter has taken deep root in the hearts of the people, and will have a greater moral effect than would be obtained by any public meetin called for the purpose. Sarsarani..a.—Sands, the broad-brimmed Sarsa- parilla man, talks largely of his syrup, but the spirit has moved wrong in this article. The best article, however, is issued by Richardson, the agent of the College of Pharmacy. Wants.—Servant’s Piaces.—One of the best vehicles for families advertising for servants, or ser- vants for places, is unquestionably the Herald. We have had several instances of late, of the rapidity of a family getting good servants, or a servant a good place, by such a step. Ur Hr, Worx.—Tom Carr, the ,Ex-Consul to Tangiers, works hard to kick up a fuss about his exit from that Capital, but it seems to gohard. Why don’t he advertise for proposals ? . Exectioy Distrrcts.—The districting of the city, under the new law, and the places designated for holding the polls, will be found under our report of the Board of Assistant Aldermen. 4g Mr. D. S. Dickinson, who ran for Lieutenant Governor onthe locofoco ticket, declines a re-no- mination, on account of the health of a member of his family. Sentence WantTep.—What was the sentence of the Baltimore Court Martial on Lieutenant A. J. Gordon? Can any body tell? {cg Miss Tyler, daughter of the President, is at Bedford Springs, Pa. The President is expected in a few days. Frmsr Cart.—Where is the letter which the Pre- sident wrote to the Ashburton Committee? Out with it. Sometnine New.—Mr. Sperry, who keepsa clock and looking glass warehouse in Fulton, street, sailed on the first instant for Englan¢, on an adven- ture entirely new. He has taken with him six hun- dred Yankee wooden clocks, with which to astonish the natives; and if well introduced, will doubtless pay him a handsome profit. The duty on this arti- cle is only twenty-five per centum, which is the highest diity on any manufactured article. Nisto’s.—Mr. Epar—This gentleman, who has enlightened the public more than any other. person we know of, takes a benefit to night at this esta- blishment. His bi!l of fare is an unusually good one :—Two admirable vaudevillea, and such a dis- play of magnificent fireworks as has rarely been equalled. We refer our readers to the bills of the day and ad- vertisements for # description of the costly treat pre- pared for them by this unrivalled pyrotechnist. Also the obliging and gentlemanly door keeper makes an appeal to his friends toextend their generosity on Saturday evening, when his benefit takes place. Cuatuam Tueatre.— The eplendid drama of “Morley Ernstein” was produced at this establish- ment last evening, and was received by a delighted audience with peals of approbation. Jim Crow Rice appeared in one of his happiest humors, judg- ing from the joyous faces of the multitude, who fill- ed the seats from pit todome.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. Baltimore, [Correspondence of the Herald.) Bartimone, Sept. 6, 1842. Mr. Eprror :— 1 last evening stepped into the fair now progress- ing at the Law Buildings, under the auspices of the ladies attached to the German Catholic Church of this city. The saloon was certainly very neatly and yet elegantly decorated. Each table was spread in astyle peculiarly rich and attractive. The various articles offered for sale are of an order not to be surpassed. Among the greatest of the attractions however were the young blooming Germans girls. Never did the bright waters of the far famed Rhine mirror forth from sheir crystal depths, sweeter, love- lier faces. Blushing innocence seemed enthroned on each cheek, whilst love smiled in placid beauty from those orbs that swim in living light beneath a polished brow. There is really something in the countenance of a youthful German lass, overpower- ing as itis ‘irresistible. e name of the person whom I mentioned tg terday as having been drowned, isGeorge Robin- son. His body 1s yet undiscovered. _ A pump or well, situated in the carriage house of Mr. H. Dukehost of this city, sunk about eight weeks ago, has recently been discovered to possess qualities of a very healthful character. The water is strongly impregnated with sulphur. Its medical properties have already been tested by numerous in- dividuals, who have found great relief from pecu- liar complaints. ‘The proprietor purposes having it thoroughly analyzed in a few days. A letter received in this city announces the death at Smyrna of Capt. Vorhees,of the U.S. ship Preble; he died on the 27th July, after an illness of only 7 days, with billions fever. The letter states :— “The command has devolved upon the Senior Lieutenant, Junius P. Bagles (a son of John aera late chief clerk in the Navy Detartment,) and of course, every thing goes on as theugh he were. among us—such being the discipline of a vessel of war. We shall sailfrom here, in four or five days, in pursuance of the original instructions of Com. Morgan to Capt. V.—touching at Athens, and some of the Grecian islands—thence to Tripoli and Tunis —and will, no doubt, reach Mahon about the middle of September. Howard street flour has declined still further, and can now be bought at $4 50 from stores; City Mills is selling at $475; wheat ranges from 50to 90 cents as per kind and Neg ne The fruit markets are ad- mirably supplied. ‘e have vegetables in great ; abundance. The weather continues pleasant, and our city remarkably healthy. Yours, Ropericx. Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald.} Pui.avEcruia, Sept. 6, 1842. There has been quite a buzzing to-day in the scandal circles in consequence of the abrupt quitting for parts unknown et a person by the name of Doo- little, not one of the extensive firm of Doolittle, Walker & Co., but a gentleman who did business on his own hook as an auctioneer. He had a large sale one evening last week, and the next morning sloped, taking with him the proceeds of sale, with other property of value to his creditors. He was gone for two or three days when his clerk received anote with his signature, without date, stating that he was “o-p-h.”* The scandal-loving have coupled a woman with the movement. The September term of the General Sessions commenced yesterday, when Judge Conrad, in his charge to the Grand Jury, took occasion to dissent from and denounce the action of the late Grand Jury, in presenting Moyamensing Temperance Hall, in Bedford street, as a nuisance. These proceed- ings, he said, were contrary to law, a, violation of the plainest dictates of justice, and against the com- mon sense of the community. The Judge charged also upon another subject of importance, to wi powers of aGrand Jury. He said that their labors should be confined exclusively to the business of the Court. The scope of their powers have been at times misunderstood, and the mistake has led notonly to a waste of the public time and mvu- ney upon unauthorised and. inaffective expres- sions of opinion, but to an unnecessary inter- mingling of the prevailing subjects of popular excite- ment with the steady and tranquil current of judicial action. He said that no indictment which has not been regularly preferred to and found by a Grand July, could be tried; and it waa therefore desirable for the inquest to confine its labors to the charges which should be laid Beaitioately: by the authorized officer of the Commonwealth before them. The charge was extemporaneous, and one of the happiest of that gentleman’s efforts. Judge C. isa man who has his full share of enemies, but none can deny him abilities of a high order. He hasa bright and ively imagination, and a well matured judgment. He is a writer of farce, energy and perspicuity, ina word, a man fitto shine in any society. I am glad he so early embraced the ertunity to denounce the lawless tearing down of Temperance Hall. It was a Saba outrage and disgrace than the riots them- selves. ,_ On Thursday last, in the vicinity of Penn’s Manor, in Bucks county, a black fellow entered the house of a farmer, named Ivens, while the family was at meeting, and no person about but a female. The villain threatened to kill her, at the same time pre- sented a razor, if she made any alarm. He then proceeded to ransack the drawers, &c., and ob- tained papers and about $300, with which he de- caunpel As soon as he had gone, the girl gave the alarm, when several neighbors turned out and pur- sued him to Morrisville, where he was overtaken in the cars, just ready to start for this city, and taken before a magistrate and committed to Doylestown prison. The money was found on him. “The pa- fete the rascal had secreted nearthe river; and after yeing rode in the bottom of the wagon, from Mor- risville to Newton, and pretty well jostled, he told where they were. The were also recovered, and he was allowed to ride more pleasantly the remainder of the wee Capa k Head a r. W. Spragg, long keeper of ‘‘ Head Quarters,” had his property sold by the Sheriff last night, th sale of which he attended, an: died suddenly this morning. It is rumored that hisdeath was a case of self destruction. Ido not, however, vouch for the truth of the assertion. ‘The transactions in stocks to-day, were to a pretty fair extent at prices fully equal to previous sales.

Indees, many members of the medical profession go the length of de- By ing toto, the efficacy of this invaluable drug, and they have been led to this disbelief of its virtues, by. the wretehed mixtures which have been and are at’ present palmed on the public, as genuine extracts of the article. The College desire’ no ‘stronger an¢ more intelligible proof of the worthiessness of these mixtures, than that evidence which is afforded by the very advertisements of their manufacturers. ‘The frequent extravagant putts which are thrust before the public, bear on thelr front the impress of the most impudent quackery. Powers are os cribed to Sarsaparilla which it does not really possess, and certificates of alleged cures, represented to have been ef- fected by its use, are paraded at length, whilst every educated physician, well knows that no such results could by any possibility have followed from the use even of the most Carefully prepared extracts of Sarsaparilla, It is under these circumstances, and in their extended plan of suppressing all desc: dical imposture, that the “College of Medicine and Phar- macy” offer to the notice of the public, ‘Tue Gexvine Extaact or Sansaranitia. This article has been prepared at great expense, accord. ing to the new process of the Parisian pharmaceutists, and is confidently denominated the only really valuable prepa- ration of Sarsaparilla now offered tor sale in this country. Together with the active principle of the Smilax offici- valis—the best species of the root—the College have incor- rated that peculiar modification of sugar, which has Peon termed glycyrrhizin. I reots” of the nos- trum-venders and certain druggists, the eommon extract of liquorice is the chief ing t, and can readily bede- tected. But it is proper to state that in most cases this extract of liquorice is adulterated, and contains copper de- rived from the pans in which the decoction of the root is evaporated. The College wish thus particularly to guard the public against the pernicious tendency of mixtures, containing quantities of this poisoned liquorice. The “ Extract,” prepered by the College, contains also an "p- propriate quantity of the peculiar crystallizable principle, obtained from that valuable vegetable bitter, Gentian, (0 called from Gentius, Mog ots lyria, who first discovered its great virtues.) A small portion of the active constitu- ents of the Laurus Sassafras, another vegetable, whose efficacy as an alterativeand purifier of the blood is well known, has likewise been added. These several articles have been incorporated, and their peculiar principles compounded in a highly concentrated form, and the re- sult has been the production of a vegetable alterative and tonic, unequalled for power and efficacy. ‘The College merely add the following extract from the edition just published of Brande’s “ Practical Dictionary of the Materia Medica :"— “ This article has been prescribed in chronic rheuma- tism—in obstinate cutaneous eruptions—in indolent ulcers—in glandular affections—in diseases of the bones, attended by dull aching psins, tumors and nod i of the flesh—and i¢ has proved a valuable reme: sometimes effected a cure where other alteratives long administered in the system has 4ven of ‘many years duration. treatment of syphilis, an here mercury has inju- riously us'ected the system, it possesses powers not hitherto observed in any other article ofihe Materia Medica.” Sold in sixcte Bortiss, a +++ T5cents each, “Ty Cases oF HALF-a-DOzEN Bortirs, $3 50. , “4 4 one DOZEN “ 6 00.
