JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Puornrerons, Hexaco Estas.isnment, North West Corner of Fulton and Nassau streats. perations in so The Ashburton Dinner, and the Hon, Da- niel Webster, Another most extraordinary incident, and one cotemporaneous with the movements at the Ashbur- ton Dinner, is the recent arrival of the Hon. Daniel Webster in this city, and his departure for the East. That distinguished man’s arrival and sojourn here took place without any noise, without any parade, without any dinner, or loud huzzas, and almost without any person calling en him to give him wel- come—some of the papers even not noticing his arrival This is one of the most extraordinary features connected with this very singular affair. Who is Lord Ashburton that he has been so well received ? Who is Daniel Webster that he has been treated wit such contempt by these “ merchant princes ?” Lord Ashburton came out here to settle those matters which have been constant sources of bitter- ‘s between the two countries for the last twenty years; and which two bloody and disastrous wars, and half a century of negotiation, have been unable tosettle. In former attempts all the efforts of Mr. Olay, John Quincy Adams, and Albert Gallatin, and others, were failures. Lord Ashburton arrived ~—went to Washington—found Daniel Webster Se- cretary of State, and in less than a month the whole matter was satisfactorily arranged. Discarding all the tricks of diplomacy—the long-winded harangues of John Quincy Adams, ‘the frothy patriotism of Henry Clay, and the roundabout rounded periods of former negotiators,—they sat down calmly, and went to work like men of sense, determined to set- le everything upon the principles of equity and decency. They do so, and immediately afterwards Lord Ashburton comes here, and is feasted and toasted and lauded ‘o the skies, as one party to the Treaty. Mr. Webster arrives here just as he is leaving our shores, and there is apparently none so poor to do honor the truly great Secretary of State, the other and principal party to the Treaty. Now, although dishonor be shown to the office of the Chief Magistrate of the Union—although Colonel head and Commodore Perry, representing the yand Navy at that dinner, could sit patiently jacguiesce in the extraordinary disrespect offered to their Commander-in-Chief,—although the mer- chant prinees might profess an “ utter loathing” for e President, surely the same feelings could not caused the contempt and disrespect shown to his Secretary of State. But of this more hereafter. The names of these cendemen remind us of another extraordinary fea- ture in this strange affair. Col. Bankhead sat at that dinner as the representative there of the Army of of the United States, and when his Commander-in- Chief was toasted, how could he, decorated with the uniform of that army, wearing the epaulettes on hisshoulders, and bedizoned with buttons to match, » presence of foreign officers, and offi- ar that toast treated with contempt? other hand, how could Commodore Per- ho on that occasion also appeared in full uni- and represented the Navy of the United States, —how could he quietly submit to see the Comman der-in-Chief of that Navy so grossly insulted ; and this too in the presence of Lord John Hay and the officers of the Warspite? What must the latter lemen have thought of such conduct. The re- presentatives of the Army and Navy combining with “merchant princes” to insult their Commander presence of distinguished foreigners. Must atter have thought of the words of the pa. t Admiral Blake (who was known to detest Cromwell) on a similar occasion, when told he ought not to pay respect to Cromwell or his orders— ske’s only reply was—“‘ Whatever he is besides, he is at least the head of the Government ; and it is 1ot our business to be troubled with State affairs or polities, but to keep foreigners from fooling us!" What becomes of the victories and the blood- shed, and the conquests of the two wars, in order Ba Ar the n the in respect before the nations of the world, if our army and navy are to act so now? Where is spirit of patriotism that animated the gallant e bond at the village of Lexington—the love of country that wasshown at Concord, orthe hatred of insoleace and oppression, and godlike independence and bravery that were exhibited at Bunker's Hill? ‘These men always acted with independence, though thes g@eubers were small. Where was the spirit of Deeatur and Bainbridge, and Hall and Stewart, and Rogers, s, and the lamented Oliver Perry, (all repre the brother of the latter,) on that unfortunate occasion? What a spectacle was it for those mea, Lord John Hay and his officers, and Lord Ashburton! What a spectacle for the coun- try, to see such a series of blunders and indignities committed— such a total blindness to every thing like self respect shown by these merchant princes, and particularly by the officers of the army and na- vy of the United States! It will not do for these gentlemen to sit still and treat with silence and apparent contempt the rever- berations of indignation which daily and hourly come sweeping in from all parts of the country. If they treated the toast so, they cannot treat the peo- ple so. They must come out and give the reasons way they acted thus. Col. Bankhead and Commo- dore Perry cannot plead ignorance, assome of the committee have. They, at least, claim to be gen- tlemen, to understand etiquette, and the respect due to position and to office. And they know that the first duties of a good officer, are respect to his supe- rior, and a contempt for violent political partizans. So much for the dinner and the toast. Now to return to Mr. Webster. He reaches the city—goes out to Westchester tosee his wife—returns to the Astor House—and leaves for Boston without the least mark of respect being shown him. [e not this the most singular spectacle that could possibly be e 4 in this country wader any circumstances? But i springs trom the same spirit which prompted the whole proceeding at that feast. It was a studied plan to throw contempt on the people of this country ind their institutions ; and we deeply regret thatthe officers of our Army and Navy who were present, dishonored their country’s flag,—disgraced the stars and stripes of the Republic by sustaining the con- duct of the “merchant princess” in their toadying to one of the monied aristocracy of Europe, proba- bly for the sole purpose of facilitating some misera- ble speculation in stocks, or loans. ‘The whole thing is most disgraceful from begin ning to end. ‘The Court Martials—Naval and Military— Lieut. Wilkes, On another day we intend to publish an article sent us relative to the Naval Court, recently held on Lieut. Wilkes, and other officers of the Explering Expedition. It comes from the friends of Wilkes, and is perhaps somewhat too partial to his cause. — But it is only fair, according to our principles of ac- tion, to let him be heard. If Satan himself asked an Opportunity of usto state his case in our columns, however much disliked and feared the sublime ras- cal, we would have the courage to be just and im- partial even to the old serpent. On the extraordinary case of Mr. Wilkes, and the recent and sitting extraordinary courts martial, we have reflected a good deal, and have come te en- tertain mixed opinions, and almost every shade of feeling—sorrowful, ludicrous, sad, funny, and phi- losophicai We have had the greatest difficulty to come to any satisfactory conclusion. Lieutenant Wilkes and his associates have exhibited some weaknesses ; but it may be justly doubted whether any circumnavigator, after a four years’ cruice round the world, ever returned home with fewer really tangible causes of complaint. The charges and specifications on which these trials have been founded, are generally small and petty in the extreme. If the Secretary of the Navy had ordered a Court of Enquiry on the loss of the Peacock, or of the Seagull, he would have indicated a higher order of mind than these trials reflect upon him. A box of shells—the firing of agun—giving away a bowie knife—the temper of Mr. Wilkes— whether it was morning or afternoon of a certain day that land was discovered—and a whole host of other small matters, seemto have made a greater impression on Secretary Upshur than the loss of the Peacock, worth $200,000. This makes us believe that Mr. Upshur is a man of no great calibre, and wants that comprehensiveness of mind and soul to throw aside the chaff of the expedition, and to pitch upon the strong points. The real point in all these investigations is,;wheth- er, under the circumstances of the expedition, it was not a miracle that, on such a long cruise, so few matters of real difficulty occurred. Mr. Wilkes is sensitive and quick-tempered ; but did Columbus, or Cook, or Vancouver, Ross, or any other, come out as easily? This temper should be somewhat over- looked in his arduous and responsible duties. He manifested great sensitiveness to our report of the trial ; but that we would excuse in him, as it is evi- dent he was wrongly influenced on that point by the impertinent and impudent remarks which Hamilton, his counsel, applied occasionally to the Herald. We can afford, in the ample vigor of our heart and soul, to deal out justice to all—even to Wilkes, in spite of his silly counsel ; and we do not hesitate to say, that Secretary Upshur is more deserving of a court martial, for the folly of allowing such trials to take place,than all the officers of the exploring expedi- tion. No doubt Wilkes has made mistakes in some small matters, but has he not overshadowed these by his other manly qualities, energies, and conduct as commander of the expedition? Is not the whole exposition a disgrace to the navy? In pursuance of this petty business, we perceive that another Naval Court Martial is going on, trying Commoilore Ballard for some such thing as opening another man’s letter—or untying the garters of some pretty woman. We do not mean to report any more of these contemptible trials, ordered under the petticoat-penny-system of Secretary Upshur. Ano- ther set of sublime blockheads, in order to have their names put in print, have, in imitation of the Secretary, been holding a Court Martial at the American Hotel—and some very worthy men, who know better the pzice of greens, or how to cut a pair ot breeches, have been emulating the character o Don Quixote, and deliberating on the etiquette, the ““pomp and circumstance” of glorious war, inclu- ding the solemn opinion of Major General Scott Why did they not ask the opinion of Brigadier General James Gordon Bennett, of the Nauvoo Le. gion, and L. L. D. of the Nauvoe University? We could have given them a better decision in the case than ever General Scott did. We request Captain John Tyler, one of the most honest and independent men ever at the head of this republic, to ponder on this our honest opinions of these Courts Martial. Pomeroy’s Western Express—Ineratitupg.— We are very much surprised to find that Pomeroy’s Express should have given us last evening false infor- mation respecting the whig nominations--who should have withheld the returns of the Vermont election, which they gave to others papers. We have said more in their favor, and aided more their cause, than any other paper, and now to be treated with such contemptible meanness and ingratitude, de- mands an ample explanation. Recollect, Pomeroy & Co., that we never givt up any point till we have had satisfaction, either in this world or the next, and we submit to no slight from angel, man, or devil. Avxorner Mammota Sreamer.—Mr. William Brown, the builder of the Kamschatka, will lay the keel of another new steamer in a few days. She is to be built somewhat after the model of the swift Troy, will be 310 feet long and 28 feet wide, and will be fitted up with Lighthall’s half beam engine. Itis expected that she will out sail any boat afloat. She is to be finished on the Ist of next May. (j- We have no doubt that hundreds in this city have determined upon seeing the wonderful Mermaid atthe American Museum, but have postponed it till they can find leisure. This day and evening affords the last opportunity of seeing this curious creature, as her ladyship departs for Boston on Monday. This is also the last day of Mr. Harrington, Miss Taylor and Master Diamond and Whitlock. ARRIVAL oF THE ENoLAND.—The packet ship Eng- land, Captain Waite, arrived yesterday from Liver- pool, with thirty-two cabin passengers. She sailed on the 8th ult. and was fifteen days west of the Banks of Newfoundland with calms and head winds. IraLian Orgra.—It seems that all the musical talent of the country, is included in De Begnis’ pro- gramme. Good. Let every one now step upto the captain’s office and settle. We must have an opera, and that’s flat. A Fur. Crry.—Scores of persons are turned off almost every day from the Astor House, Howard's Hotel, &e.—there’s no room for them. New York ischuck full of strangers—probably 30,000 at least.

A description hereafter. This, however, is only the beginning of the fall season, which, if the weather is fair, will be delightfal in the extreme. ‘To-day vast crowds, and so to-morrow, will be going down to spend the day on Staten Island. ———_—_—_——_ Howoxen.—If you are at leisure, will you step over to Hoboken to-day, and take a cool breeze and a glass of ice cream? Yes, let’s go. (xy There were thirty cases of yellow fever and seven deaths, in four days in New Orleans. Onscxxe Booxs.—About 2000 volumes in all have veen seized in Boston,and their owners bound over. ee Larsst rrow Mexico.—An arrival at New Or- leans, on the 30th ult., brought four days later from Tampico. Great preparations were being made for sending an overwhelming force into Texas. They are increasing the navy, and daily augmeating the large military force already under arms. All classes of citizens are made to beat a part, either as actors or contributors in the affair. Contributions are le- vied, taxes imposed, and men drafted—in short, every step is being taken to su; ly both men and money for a vigorous and formidable campaign against the rebellious Texa: From Texas.—The Picayune hasreceived a late number of the Houstonian, from which the follow- ing intelligence is gleaned. The Texans were an- ticipating a formal recognition by Great Britain of the independence of Texas by the former power. The declaration that the blockade of Mexican ports would be respected, and the tone of the British Mi- nister’s reply, afford sufficient grounds for this sup- Position. ‘ The volunteers left in command of Captain Allen at Carlos’ Rancho, were recently di led at Egypt on the Colorado. Most of these men, finding their services no longer required, instead of ret to the United States dissatisfied and in a destitute con- dition, have dispersed throughout the country and engaged in farming. ; 5 ofarding the Santa Fe prisoners, the Houstoni- an, of the lth, says the remainder of them had not arrived at Galveston. r The Austin mail is again discontinued ; the con- tractor finding it impossible even to defray his ex- penses at the present rate of compensation in Exche- quer bills. je eastern mail failed too, last week, and is probably discontinued also. The Mexicans will continue to harrass the fron- tier settlements untila favorable opportunity for in- vasion is presented. Their movements, however, will be closely watched, and reinforcements sent there whenever necessity requires their presence.— Col. Cook, at the head of about 1000 citizen volun- teers, is already on his march to the frontier. New cotton is comingrin daily; we expect to export 200,000 bales the coming winter. Ex- chequer money is advancing—it is now quoted at cents. P. Edmunds, Esgqr., late Consul for New Or- leans, is appointed Collector for the port of Galves- ton. ‘The Sabine Adyocato says:—We are informed that the freebooter, Jim Strickland,was shot through the head a few days ago, by a company of gentlemen from Trinity River, who were in pursuit of several negroes decoyed offby Jim, his brother Henry, and another individual, belonging to the Strickland gang, one of whom they killed. The company have frre in pursuit of said Henry, who has the negroes id out. ‘The bill for the relief of the Santa Fe prisoners, passed by the late Congress of Texas, was lost be- ‘ore it received the signature of the President— consequently has not become a law. It author- ized the President to sell 100,000 acres of public lands, and apply the proceeds of the sale for the relief of the Texan prisoners detained in Mexico. Vermont Evecrion.—The Bennington State Ban- ner furnishes a few Boaciering, veraaae In the towns heard from there is a small Whig gain as compared to the election of 1841. 4 Whig Representatives elected——Bennington, Woodtord, (gain) Arlington, Castleton. Locos—Pownal, (gain) Ruatiabary, Glastenbury. Last year there was no choice of ‘overnor by the people. This year there are three candidates for Governor—Paine, Wee Smile, opposition, and Williams, abolition. For Lieutenant Governor there are two candidates, Ranney, Whig, and Bar- ber, opposition. The latter is also supported by the abolitionists. x The last Senate stood, 20 Whigs to 10 Locos; House 139 Whigs to 89 Locos, and one aboli- tonist. City Intelligence, Important Arrest.—Yesterday, as officer Bow- yer was passing through Wall street, he espied the celebrated James Smith alias Honeywell, the robber of the City Bank, and who was indicted in this city on the 20th of June, 1838, for picking the pocket of Philemon Canfield, on the Hartford steamboat, of money and promissory notes valued at about $1000, and then escaped on bail ; and concluding that his bail, as well as the public, would be interested in his arrest, landed him in the Tombs where he was fullycommitted. He is just out of one of the eastern state prisons where he has served a three years term of service. Correction. —In an article yesterday relative to the sale of some goods by auction by W. H. Mc- Kenney, of 29 Fulton street, we understand that the gentleman who made the complaint bid 50 cents on a card of knives which were offered for sale, and on their being knocked off to him he was told that they were 50 cents each, and that the whole card amounted to $6. He threw a 50 cent piece on the counter and left the store, refusing to return, al- though the money was offered tohim. The knives were of good quality, pearl handle, and worth nearly the amount at which they were bid off A Minisrer Arrestep anv Trrep.—The Rev.

Before Judge Ingraham. ‘ Serr. 9.—Daniel W, Clark vs. John Hettinger.— Assault and Battery.—This case was brought up last week and suffered to go by default, the jury award ing damages to plaintiff in the sum of $80. The de- fendants counsel, however, subsequently moved that it might be restored to the calendar, which was granted, and now the issue. From the evi- dence oflered it appeared that the plaintiffis a blind maker, and the defendant keeps a paper hanging store at 84 Bowery. The former saw some of his blinds in Mr. Heitinger’s store, and claimed them. ‘These blinds Mr. H. had bought of aperson former- Wy connected with plaintiff, and refused to give them up. Itis said that Clark then accused him of having in his possession stolen goods, &e., and threatened to prosecute. Hettinger seized plaintiff by the throat, t ist him out of the store, and vio- lently kicked him in the groin. ‘The jury, after a short absence returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $100, thus Me former verdict. For plaintiff, Mr. H. P. Hastings and Mr. D. Ryans: For defendant, Messrs. Western and De itt. Thomas J. Smith vs. Herrick & Ropes.—This was an action for hbel. The defendants are publishers of a morning paper. A paragraph appeared in it in- quiring when two men named Shier and Heard, who had been indicted on a charge of setting fire to the National Theatre, were to be tried. The in- dictments had not been pursued, and Heard was going down to get some friends to write a letter to lefendants, when he met the former prompter of the theatre, who had a desk at Mr. Smith’s office, and they repaired to the office together. After some conversation, Smith offered to bring an action against defendants for libel, and did so [though Heard says without his wish or knowledge} and held them to bail for $1000. They al- luded to the subject in their paper, and spoke of the conduet of Smith in severe terms. He then brought the present action on his ac- count. They referred to the subject in a similar manner again, and he again sued them. This was repeated for several days, so that several actions have accrued.

The flag was new, and the officers became incensed. The plaintiff was called down from aloft, and some words took place between him and the captain, when the latter caught up a light pine flag pole, about 14 inches in diameter, and struck Dalat over the head, hurting him so severely that he had to keep his berth for one or two days, and breaki er neigh es pig action ‘Ji for “ant & jattery e damages at $1,000. e founds verdict for plaintiff in the sum of 350, which carries costs. x For plaintiff, Messrs.

Baltimore, (Correspondence of the Herald.) Baxrimong, Sept. 9, 1842. BY Mr. Eprror— Nothing has been said here publicly in reference to the disturbance at the golored camp meeting, of which I made mention yesterday. The reality 1 learn is bad enough, but not so bad as previous re- ports represented it. No life as yet has paid the forfeit, though one of the party was so terribly beaten and mangled that his life was despaired of, nor is he yet out of danger. Whatever may have ceen the provocation, (and I doubt not but King Alcohol, together with a want of moral philosophy, aud a self respect, were at the bottom of it) yet under no circumstances can I tolerate the idea of a colored man raising his hand to his superior, the white man. No, the idea is uncongenial to southern blood, and cannot be brooked. A most powerful burden locomotive has recently been completed at the extensive manufacturing es- tablishment of Mr. Ross Winans, in this city, in obedience to an order from the Russian Govern- ment, to be used in that country for the purpose of transportation. Iam told that an order was issued by the same authorities to have a locomotive constructed simultaneously with this one in England, and that the object was to put to test the power an} qualities of thetwo machines. It was tried yester- day in presence of numerous spectators, and worked even beyond their fondest anticipations. It is really a magnificent piece of workmanship, and does dis- popaiehed credit to Mr. Winans as a machinist and builder of locomotives. The cost_of it is $11,500. It is to be shipped immediately to Russia as a repre- sentative of the American locomotives against those of Great Britain. The commitee who visited Lancaster, Pa., on the 4th July last, for the purpose of presenting a flag to the Fenciblesof that city, have gotten up a mag- nificent silver pitcher, to be presented to rs. Ro- sina Hubley, of the Swan Hotel, for her politeness and generosity extended towards them on that oc- casion: It is a very chaste affair, the workmanship by Mr. A. Warner, of Baltimore. An agent of the Madisonian, the Court Journal, was in this city a few days since, and levied upon almost every officer, both in the Custom house and Postoffice, the tax of subscribing to that sheet. I am told that they come upto a man—that they had long been waiting an opportunity to see the agent, and that nothing afforded them greater pleasure than tosubscribe.

The Chesnut street company of theatricals are to meet in the green room of that establishment on Monday next. What the opening piece is to be I have not heard, and presume it has not yet been de- termined upon. But if any thing pertaining to the legitimate drama should be chosen, or could be made to accommodate with the general arrange- ments of the house. I have heard the wish express- ed that something in which Mr. Maywood and his daughter could both appear should be selected, that the public might have an opportunity of greeting them as old and worthy friends. I am sure that Mr. M. could not gratify the public more than by appearing before them in one of his pular Scotch characters, in which he has so often in times past, made Old Drury ring with applause. The Arch street theatre opens to-morrow night, with the stock company, Mr. Hield stage manager. On Mon- day J. R.

Joseph Carr, a young man of ee oti appear- ance and connections, was yesterday put upon his trial for participating in the late negro riots, in the lower part of our city. He was defended by Peter Crans, Junr., Esq., but the evidence was so clear and conclusive of his guilt, that no professional ef- fort could avail him.

In youth it is indispensable to “ ks,” and in age it is certainly nec for comfort ; and it is surely as proper to supply the loss of any of Na- ture’s ‘as those that fashion and custom have forced upon us. But will you for lost hair substitute a wig ? No! Wearing a wig impairs the health, breeds humors, and produces numberless evils—all of which can be avoided the use of “ Oldridge’s Balm of Columbia,” faiden Lane, which fully restores the hair, who- ther it is lost by sickness or by age.

It will take out all burn without pain, and merciful men should keep it by them, and save the torments of their families, The unfeeling are not expected to do it-— Express. To Sensible Citizens. 0g@- WE KNOW FROM WHAT WE SEE AND feel, that the animal body, is in its organs and func | tions, subject to derangement, inducing pain and tending | to its destruction. In this disordered state, we observe na- ture providing for the re-establishment of order, by ex- | citing some salutary evacuation of the morbific matter, , or by some other operation, which escapes our imperfect senses and researches. In some cases she brings on a crisis by the bowels, at others by sweating, &c. kc. Now experience has taught us that there are certain substances, by which, applied to the living body, inter nally or externally, we can at will produce the same evacuations, and thus do in @ short time, whet nature could do but slowly, and do effectually what she might not have strength to accomplish. When then we have seen a disease cured by a certain watunaL evacuation, should that disease occur again, we may count upon cu- ring it by the useof such substances, as we know bring about the same evacuation, which we had before observed to-cure a similar disease. Itis in consequenee of the power which the BRANDRETH PILLS exert upon the whole system, that makes them so univer- sally beneficial. It is because they impart to the body the power to expel disease without leaving any eyil effect, Asa general Family Medicine BRANDRETH’S PILLS are,is is believed by the Proprietor,superior to every other offered to the public. And when the manner of preparing the ingredients of which they are composed shall be pub- licly known, the public will be of the same opinion.— Some three months ago Dr. Brandreth entered a caveat with a general statement of the manner in which he pre- pares his extracts from the roots of various plants, and in about six weeks afterwards out comes a New Extract or San uta, and a machine is spoken of. Now it is rather singular that this method should not have becn discoyered until after Doctor Brandreth’s statement had been filed in the Patent Office. No machine was ever used until Dr. B. Brandreth invented the one he uses. When the patent shall haue been fully secured in England, and on the Continent of Europe, then the pub- lic will have the manner of preparing the ingredients of the Brandreth Pills fully explained, and amodel of the machine used in the processsexhibited. But this he will add—that there is more of the active principle of Sarsa- parilla in one twenty-five cent box of his pills, than in two dollar bottles of any fluid extract of Sarsaparilla on earth, unless the Sarsaperilla is prepared in the same man- ner that Dr. Brandreth prepares his Sarsaparilla and the other ingredients forming a component of the BRANDRETH’S PILLS. THE BRANDRETH PILLS are sold at 25 cents per box, at 241 Broadway, 274 Bowery, 185 Hudson st., and 175 Second st, The public willdo well to be careful where they pur- chase in the Bowery.

THERE IS NO ARTICLE IN THE MATERIA Medica, of which so many spurious and inert p tions, have been offered, as Sarsaparilla. Indeed, many members of the medical’ profession go the length of de- nying in foto, the efficacy of this invaluable drug, and they have been ledto 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 and more intelligible Proof of the worthlessness of these mixtures, than that evidence which is afforded by the very advertisements of their manufacturers. The juent extravagant puffs which are thrust before the public, bear on their front the impress of the most impudent quackery. Powers are as- cribed to Sarsaparilla which it does not really possess, and certificates of alleged cures, represented to have been ef- fected by its use, raded at length, whilst every educated physicien, 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 underthese circumstances, and in accordance with their extended plan of suppressing all descriptions of me- dical imposture, that the “College of Medicine and Phar- macy” offer to the notice of the public, Tue Gewuine Extract or SARSAPARILLa, 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 Sarsaparillanow offered for sale in this country. Together with the active principle of the Smilar offici- valis—the best species of the root—the College have incor- rated that uliar modification of sugar, which has een termed gi cot ghee Inthe “Extrects” of the nos- trum-venders and certain di ists, the common extract of my orice is the chief ingredient, and can readily be de- tected. But it is proper to state thatin most cases this extract of liquorice is adulterated, and contains cé de- rived from the s in which the decoction of the root is evaporated. The College wish thus particularly to guard the public against the icious tendency of mixtures, containing large quantities of this poisoned liquorice. The “ Mxtract,” prepered by the College, contains also an ap- propriate quantity of the peculiar crystallizable principle, obtained from that valuable vegetable bitter, Gentian, (so galled from Gentius, King of Ilyria, 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, andthe 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 aftections—in diseases of the bones, attended by dull aching pains, tumors and nodes—wasting of the flesh—and it has proved a valuable rem nd has sometimes effected a cure where other alterati bern long administered in vain, and when the diseased state of the system has heen of many years duration. In the treatment of syphilis, and in cases where mercury has inju- riously apecan the system, it possesses powers not hitherto observed in any other article of the Materia Medica.” Sold in since Borties, “(Iw Cases oF HALF: “a | ©. onsposen Cases forwarded to all ofthe Union.

The Bank of Penn Township, one of the suspended banks of Philadelphia, commenced the redemption of its demand notes in specie and specie funds, on Wednesday. The movements in Southern exchange are very limited, and prices do not materially vary. There is very little of the demand, usual at this season, from people going south, and for the purchase of produce. The banks themselves, which utter the depreciated paper, and have informer years speculated in their own paper at the ex- pense of the poor dupes that take it, have this year not the means to pursue that course to the same extent. On spe. cie paying points the rates are at their minimum; on others there will probably bea greater depreciation when the crops come forward. The rates to-day are as follow: Co map Renee oe Bank MOaEg ey Dower Bitus. Safety Fund.- + Security Banks: New England: - 8.

That illusion is, however, fast passing from the public mind. A fall or risein exchange is either real or ar- tificial. It is real when excess of purchases at any one point have exhausted the produce of its industry as a means of payment, and it becomes nesessary to have resort to its stock of specieto discharge the balance. In that case the exchange rises sufficiently to cover the cost of transport" ing the specie, which moves forward until the debt is paid. The exshange then falls back generally below par. Exchanges are artificial when excess of purchases hav- ing caused a demand for specie at any point, the banks there located, instead of paying the specie, suspend their payments. The irresistible law of trade then requires their bills to be sold to brokers or others who have specie, in order that it may be remitted. The bills thus sold mediately depreciate, according to the quantity of tiem thut the bank has put afloat, and the catent of the demand forspecie for shipment. This rate of depreciation, which is absurdly called the rate of exchange, may reach any price. At Mobile it has been as low as 40 per cent dis- count. The whole difficulty arises, first, from buying too much, and secondly, from the defalcation of the banks. Now, a National Bank, to remedy this matter effectually, must either prevent the over purchases, or those purchases being made, it must pay the balance itself. It has been alleged that the National Bank, by control- ing the local banks through its branches, checks their proneness to over action, and thereby to induce over pur- chases. The operations of the bank may be illustrated by the action of a well known house in Wall street prior to 1836. Merchants from all sections of the country in those years came to New York, and bought goods to an amount, regulated less by the actual sales that they could make, than by the extent of the credit that they obtained from their local banks. These merchants bought of the Pearl street houses goods for which they gave heir long dated bills, payable at their own banks. These notes were discounted by the house in question for cash, if no longer than 60 days to run, or for their note at 60 days, if four rmaonthstorun. These notes to the extent of $400,000 per month, were remitted, say to Richmond, Va., for collec- tion; as they matured at the Branch Bank there, they were all paid in the bills of the local banks, consequently throwing a large balance against them into the hands ofthe branch, This balance drawn in specie, constantly kept them in check, and in the power of the branch bank. The branch then remitted tothe branch here, which be- came the governing power, and was itself subject to no control but that srising from the foreign demand for spe. cie, ‘The local banks being kept m control by the branch were obliged to be cautious in their loans to dealers; they being restricted in credits,bought less, and in consequenee, the Pearl street houses imported less, which again dimin- ished the foreign demand for coin. This was appa- rently a healthy operation, but the regulator itself was subject tono control but itsown will and pleasure, and the foreign exehange. The high tariff of 1898 first stopped that demand by prohibiting imperts. The United States Bank being thus relieved of all control, doubled its discounts in two years, or raised them from 31 to $64,000,000. This in the same degree relaxed its con. trol over all the local banks, which increased their loans $126,000,000 in the same time. This raised prices to such a degree as to nullify the high duties, and increase imports, reproducing a demand for coin, and leading to the revulsion of 1836. At that period credits were obtained abroad from Loudon houses, which postponed the specie demand until 1837, when its accumulation ‘was so great as to break down everything. After that, State stocks be- came the medium of foreign credit, which becoming dja. honored, have now left the country without foreign cre- dit in any shape. Now, however, anew prohibition tariff has been created, and were the bamks now in the same po- sition as formerly, would bring about the same effect. But the banking system has now been crushed. The expansive power has been so crippled that it is beyond the power of the tariff again to put it in action; end the dis- astrous effects of a prohibitive tariff will weigh upon commerce with its full force, destroying tride and de- priving the government of its revenue.
