Hal- letin his pla other says that General Ward, of Westchester,is the man. A third has turned out Mr. Sullwell from the office of Marshall, and appointed James Kelly in his place, a fourth has put aside Og- den Hoffman, the U. 8. District Attorney, and filled the vacancy with the veritable John Smith, counsel- lor at law at Smithville, of Smith county, Coney Island. In short, there seems to be no end to these rumors and reports. Only one thing seems to be certain ; that is the appointment of “friend George” to be naval storekeeper at Brooklyn. These rumors are all very natural. The extraor- dinary and overwhelming revolution in politics, which has been developed in Ohio, New York, and halt the Union—with the prospect of a like change in Michigan-and Massachusetts,has thrown men,po- liticians, eligues, and parties of all kinds, into unut- terable confusion. At Washington, according to our private advices, everything is in the greatest confusion—not from defeat or despair—but altogether arising from vic- to! tope, joy, and general exultation. Captain Tyler has}* headed the headers” and there is the orts and sizes. oO. gre difficulty to tell exactly what course to adopt—what men to trust—what road to take. The same confusion, arising from a different cause, co- vers the friends of Mr. Clay. They don’t know what to do or to say, so overwhelming has been their defeat. Some say that Mr. Clay has no chance—that the Abolitionists, now organized in all the Free States, can always defeat him at any moment—and that the only hope of the whigs is in General Scott or Genera Cass. Mr. Van Buren’s friends are equally confused in another way. They are beginning to get alarmed at the progress of John lhoun. The high tariff and protective “home sre equally inthe dumps. The election in te has developed their utter want of influ- ence with the farmers—and people now talk with confidence of the repeal of the present tariff, and the enactment of amore moderate one. The Abo- litionists are also ina state of ecstatic confusion at the prospect of beiag able to control the Presiden- tial election of 1844, Such 1s the fermenting state of men’s minds in New York, Washington, and elsewhere. The clearest point in the whole map is the position of Captain Tylerand bis administration. They have gotthe whip-hand of all parties—all factions—and all cligues. If they make a good start, from a pro- per position, no one can tell what wonders may take Every thing depends on the start, and the opening of the budget atthe approach- ing n of Congress. The exchequer scheme will, we suppose, be presented again—and other meusures calmly considered. Some general and comprehensive rale may also be laid down for re- place in two years. movals and appointments—but all is yet in a state of | consideration—and so it will be for afew weeks, or rather days, to come. Ponder well, Captain Tyler. You are on the flood tide, and af you take it in a right direction, it inay lead to fortane—if not, not. Tur Onp Man or Covaress.—“* The old man”— sometimes the ** old man eloqueat,”—is the appella- tion given to Ex-President Adams. He is eloquent, learoed, but he is also eccentric in the highest de- gree. During recent movements, he has made himsejf conspicuons as a bitter ultra—very severe on Cap- tain Tyler—and throwing out all sorts of imputa- tions on General Jackson and the South generally. We do not believe that any harm will arise from things. Mr. Adams is a remarkable man he is in his “sear and yellow leaf”—he is in ‘his ‘second childhood”’—he is in his “ green old age,” and his occasional exuberances of temper should be indulged and passed over, as we would the frettings of our great grand father. Mr. Adams has been an eminent statesman in his day —he has done his country some service—he never can interfere with any one’s objects of ambition—or tread on any one’s toes, and his occasional flights of bittersireasm answer the purpose of a shock from an electric engine, to make us cry—“ all alive, ho!” in Congress, at the approaching segsion, Mr. Ad- ams will place” hinsself at the head of the Abolition- ists, Who are now organised in several of the north- ern States. This new party will probably number about 40,000 votes—but we don’t think they will ever set the world on fire. these —but INGATHERING OF THE Jews.—Prornecy Futr: Lino.—Last week, the Rev. Doctor Brownlee pre- dicted that the “ ingathering of the Jews” would begin next year, and “ the millennium commence in 1866."° This prophecy 1s already begun to show symp toms of fulfilment. We understand that Major Noah is preparing to sell out his interest in the un-Union” establishment, including the oyster cellar under ground, and that he intends to proceed to the Holy Land, as soon as he can procure a sup- ply of old clothes sufficient to raise the wind upon. How would he like the office of Consul General of Palestine and the Sea of Gallilee? FasHionasLe Ivreuiicence.—Another fash ona- ble marriage takes place to day in Clinton Place—a diplomat and a beautiful young descendant of one of the ancient settlers of Long {sland. The groom is the Seeretary of the American Legation to Spain, and is a descendant of the great Alexander Hamilton, of the revolution—the bride, of the stock of one of the early colonial governors of New York the last century~Governor Nichols, we Bright skies to them, Tem Sroms.—It now being decided that Wm. C. Bouck, the democratic candidate, has been elected Governor, the whole locofoco army are in the field, struggling for the offices within his gift that fall to the share of this city. On the 25th ult., we published, exclusively, the list, as well as the | presest incumbents, but owing to the enormous de- mand for the sheet containing it, are now induced to present ita second time for the benefit of those who know not what isin the pool. Here are the heads to be decapitated, and no good democrat can tura acorner of a street, or enter a public place, that heis not greeted by some one of the numerous runners, with “ Will you sigan my friend’s petition, sir?” In the appointment ef many of these officers un der Governor Seward, the most corrupt and demo- rahzing practises were brought to bear, and al though they may have been unknown to him, yet time has made them fully apparent to this communi- ty. Itisnow known that they were dealt out by a certain clique inthis city who measure and weigh every thing by the Wall street standard, and who compelled, in many instances, the successful appli- cant to make positive terms as to the amount of sa- lary that should be devoted toa fund that was af- terwards used for corrupt and pipe laying purpo- ses. Thus it will be seen, that honesty, capability, and integrity, were of small account in the scale, contrasted with the appropriation of the money of the public paid to their servants, and which was af- terwards devoted to corrupt the elective franchise We do not give the locofocos much more claim to honesty and virtue than their opponents, as we know many who are sunk quite as deep in political degradation ; but we call upon that portion who are the salt and the saltpetre of the party to snrinkle it well among those mousers and old rat catchers who s'udy nothing but rascality, and who are now con- triving ways and means to control the appointment of every place within the gift of the Governor. We call upon the Governor himself to keep a sharp look onton these old wily political blood suckers who think of nothing but how to get into a good place, and howto keep it afterwards. Let hfm ap- point none but men of integrity, men ot sound, ho- nest, republican habits and manners, and in such se- lection let him bear in mind that the young democ- racy of New York are the very heart, soul and es- sence of the party, who saved it in the days of con- servatism and who are far more honest, far more in- telligent, and far more useful, as public servants, than those old toddlers who have been kept in pub- lic place till they have grown too fat and lazy to transact the public business in a manner that would give satisfaction to the community.

More Liour.—One of the most brilliant lights is given by the Carcel lamp, frequently called the me- chanical lamp. It was invented some forty years ago by Mr. Carcel, who has gone to light the other world for the approaching millennium. ‘This lamp is universally used throughout Eurepe, and in the Astor, Tremont, and other public houses, and in many drawing rooms in this country. It consumes very lit'le oil, is never out of order, gives six times the light of any other lamp extant, is a beautiful ornament to any parlor, and isan expense of only one cent per hour. What more is wanted ? They can be obtained in any style, and at almost any price at Saxton’s lamp warehouse, No. 20 John street. They are rapidly and properly taking the place of the old-fashioned Astral lamp in all private dwellings, Go and see them ‘The Miller Camp Meeting at Newark— Closing Scene, Newarx, Monday, Nov. M4. As far as regards Mr. Miller’s connection with Newark, personally, the long agony is over. Mr. Miller took his departore to-day for New York about two o'clock, by the sieamboat; and what further transpires must be chronicled by your do- mestic corps of reporters. The farewell ceremonies took place in the Free Church. The performances commenced at nine o’clock in the morning with a hymn, the burthen ef which was :— My old companions fare you well—fare you well. Will you go?—wiil you go? I'm not going down to hell, Will you go?—will you go? This was set to the tune of :— Mii to fests mccces chow? Will you go?—will you go? After this, and one or two more hymns, Father Miller and Brother Himes came in. Another hymn was sung,and Father Miller delivered a brief, but very common place address, comparing himself to St. Paul when about to leave the brethren, and the latter fell on his neck and kissed him. He said,he was about to leave them—to take the parting hand—ne- ver to see their dear faces again util the resurrection morning in 1843—(here the women wept bitterly) —what day he would not say; but it would be very soon—in a very few months. He thanked all kindly who had listened to him, as he said, a poor old man. (The ladies wept again.) He told them to love Christ—to study their Bible, and wait till next year, when they would all meetin heaven. (Here the ladies sobbed loudly and deeply.) He con- clnded thus : “* May God bless you all. (Cries of “amen.”) May God dwell with you until the se- cond coming of Christ, and then may we all dwell in his kingdom for ever.” (Cries of ‘‘amen,” “glory to God,” “ hallelujah,” and weeping bit- terly.) Broruer Hres then rose and said—Mini had accused them of being the same as Joe Smith or Matthias, but they had songht to spread the truth, not by fanatical prophecies, but by the Scriptures and sober argument. We appeal only to the Bible, and give you our rules of interpretation. The veri- est villians on earth would be saints compared to us if we were notsincere. We sacrifice time, health, money, personal comfort, and our souls and bodies to the cause. We have continual calls to give lvc- tures all over the country; as we can’t do this, we publish books to speak for us. This they call a specu- ation, and they eay Brother Millerhas made a for- tune by his writings. Why he hasn’t made, enough to pay for the paper and ink on which his books were written Othersgo round to preach against us and charge 25 cents admission; we charge nothing. We have pitched our great tent eight times, in places 500 miles apart. The devil has got before us and circulated that we charged $1 for admission We never did. We neyer thought of sucha thing *till other ministers, our enemies, manufactured the lie out of whole cloth. I’ve given away $60 worth of books in this flace: T’ve not sold enough to pay the expences of the young man who acted as clerk And yet they say we make $10,000 in aplace. The devil§ would not trouble himself to tell these lies about his own ministers if we were false teachers Then the lying religious papers said that Brother Miller and Ihad fought a duel. The New York Observer and New York Evangelist will not pub- lish a single truth we utter, but copy and print every lie that is invented by other pavers: irds of a feather. They talk about the “New York Herald,” why, without pretending to be religious, it is the most independent, correct, fand energetic paper in the country, and circulates more truth and moral- ity, with all its faults, than all the other papers put together, We have held teary camp meetings. We have converted to our faith 15,000 souls. Every- where our inficence hasbeen felt. ‘The churches have been shaken to theircentre. The ministers of God have been waked up. Brother Brownlee coming over here has done us so much good, that T'd cheerfully Pay all his vec if he’d come again. We'd as leave that Ministers speke against us as for us. We want the people aroused. And now you must get up an association here, to be as adepot. The whole state must be waked up. Love you ciereth Yor minister, your Bible, but don’t et your mouth be gagged. Prav, read, circulate pamphlets, form Bible classes; get your ministers to jon them. Be kind and good to all. In this place have paid out $147 for the expenses of the camp meeting. Brothers Flagg and Flavel have also aid out $200, making atotalat about $350. We Rave teceived in donations making $150 to be paid; those who think they have been benefitted by us, can hand in their names and subscription to Brother Flavell, and if they don’t, he is willing fo bear the expense himself. t Here Brother Miller rose and said that he had been accused of making money. He. received enough from his farm to-keep him in clothes for a He had nothing to do with the finances or ear. With the books, He had received in all $5 from three persons within the last two weeks. hen he came to Newark his money was reduced to $2. He now had enough to carry him to the perce and he believed that God would always provide for him He had been accused of building houses ; but all he owned in the world was a farm of 160 acres at Low Hampton. The concerns of the world were a burthen to him ; so muchso that it was a greattrou- ble to go and buy even a new hat when he wanted one. He wished he had some one to travel with him, and take all worldly concerns off his hands. Alter this a man rose up in the congregation and said that he had heard a minister' say that Father Miller declared thatall who didn’t believe his doc- trine would goto Hell. 3 Father Miller rose and said he had never said any such thing. _ a Another said he had heard that Brother Fitch de- clared that if the world did not come to an end next year, he would burn his bible. Brother Himes said this was also false. Another man rose up and said that he had heard that Brother Fitch had preached in Albany that it all the sinners were not in hell in 1843, they never would be at all. Brother Hines said that this also was false. Another man rose and said he had heard that Fa- ther Miller said that if Christdid not come next year, God would be a very great liar. . Father Millerreplied that he had. never said any such thing; and that this wasa fair sample of the ee that the devil, through his enemies, told about them. After this the congregation all rose, and sang the following hymn :— Dear brother, I wish you well— Dear brother, I wish you well— When my Lord calls, | trust I shall Be mentioned in the promised land— Be mentioned in the promised land— Be mentioned in the promises land. When my Lord calls, I trust I shall Be mentioned in the promised land. Dear sister, { wish you well, ke. &c. &c. Dear converts, I wish you well, ke. Poor sinner, I wish you well, &c. Poor mourner, I wish you well, &e. This was the close. Father Miller then stood in the centre of the charch, and all the females of the audience (a large number) din front of him, and shook hands with and many kissed him. It was a truly affecting scene: the women wept bitter- ly, and as he left the church, a veryjlovely and lady- like woman hung on his arm, blessed him, and wept as though her heart would break. At last he got intoa plain wagon, drove down to the boat, and put off for New York amid the pray- ers and singing of many who accompanied him. ANNIVERSARY oF THE Evo.etan Socrety.-—This interesting celebration at the University Chapel was well attended. The performances of the young gentlemen were highly creditable to themselves and pleasing to their friends. They gave indications of talents worthy of the highest cultivation, Among the exercises were a Presidential Addrese, by Moses M. Vail; Nature, by S. B. Bangs, The Times and Characters, by B. Mason; also a Poem on Distinc- tion, by A. S. Freeman; This was one of the best of the pieces. The subject well chosen—thelversifi- cation good, and the delivery excellent. The whole reflected great credit on the young gentlemen of the association. Rarern’s Concert—This distinguished artist gives a vocal and instrumental Concert to-night at the Apo!lo Rooms. He will be aasisted by Mr. Horn, Madame Otto, and the two Rakemanns. [t will be a good one. Micuraan Exectioy.—In Detroit the locofocos have a majority of 189, and carried all the wards except the first. In Springwells the whigs hada majority of 42. The democrats have also carried Wayne, Clarkson, and Washtenau counties, Steam Suir Great Wesrery.—This fine steamer, the Queen of the Ocean, will leave here on Thurs- day afternoon, at two o'clock, for Liverpool—her last trip this year. Sir Onartes Bacor is lying seriously indisposed at Kingston, Canada, Mrs. Farnwam’s Lecrurr on Woman.—Seeing a notice of a lecture at the Society Library yesterday at 11 o’clock. A. M., we sent one of our reporters to attend it. He reached the place at the appointed hour, but finding only some dozen females present, and that Mrs. Farnham had not yet arrived, he lin- gered a few minutes at the door to converse with the door-keeper, and make a few experiments in physiology. From the philosophical door-keeper, he learned much wisdom and logic; he learned that Mrs. F. is a married woman, but not attended by her husband—but whether they have been blessed with children, the door-keeper did not say. This is the second gratuitous lecture, which this excel- lent lady has given, preaching for the benefit of the age; the first was to about twenty-five persons. The door-keeper further said, that reporters were to be admitted to this lecture, although it was ad- dressed to ladies only. During this physiological conversation, Mrs. Farnham arrived at the door. She appeared to be about thirty-five years old, and many persons per- haps might think her tolerably good looking—but as our reporter idolizes the sex, he was in raptures with her bright eyes, elegant figure, and benevolent face. After some private conversation with the door keeper, she went away to enter by the private entrance. When our reporter proposed to enter, the door-keeper asked him what paper he belonged to? Answer, “the Herald.” He replied that the orders he had just received were, to admit no members of the press except from the Tribune, or some such paper. Never baffled at any difficulty, vur reporter, immediately, though a little late in the season for butterflies, assumed, through the power of magnetism, which he possesses in a greater de- gree than Col. Stone, the shape of a very beautiful blue and pink fly, with ten legs and forty wings, flew through the key hole, and took his position on the left ringlet of Mrs. Farnham’s madonna’s face during the whole of the lecture. Here he heard unutterable things—the whole secrets of nature de- veloped—but not a word of cooking or of darning stockings. Itseems, therefore, that Mrs. Farnham is tread- ingin the illustrious footsteps of the learned Mrs. Gove, who had a husband, but instead of doing the cooking and washing of her own family, went through the world, contrary to the doctrine of Saint Paul, trying to teach philosophy, philology, and physiology. Now on this important subject—“the position and duty of woman,” we coincide with the opinion of Paul the Apostle, who was a pretty sensi- ble man on many questions, cons'dring thathe was merely atent maker. Saint Paul thought that wo- man’s true “position and duty” was in confining herself, it is true to the ,ologies, but it was cook- ology—make-the-pudding-ology, darn-the-stocking- ology—that the private parlor was her natural posi- tion—not the public desk—that a peep into the kitchen was more amiable and becoming than a hop-step-and-skip into the lecture room. Instead, therefore, of attempting to deliver public lectures in the city of New York, if Mrs. Farnham would return to her home and husband, attend to the affairs of her family—and mind the philosophy of her parlor and kitchen, she would be giving a much better practical lecture on the]‘‘position of woman,” than by the course she is pursuing. Let her study the following stanzas :— 1742. Man to the plough, Wife to the cow, Girl to the ty Boy to the barn,| And your rents ‘will be netted. i Man tally ho, Miss piano, Wife sitk and satin, Boy Greek and Latin, ‘And you'll all be gazetted. [From the Oswego Palladium.) SmuaoLinc.—There is some discussion in the NewYork papers in relation to suspected contraband operations on the northern frontier. A writer inthe Express, under the signature of a Northern Merchant, denies the smuggling imputations and challenges the name of any place or spot where the smugglers are known to have established their iMicit tratticor made arrangements for its prosecution. ‘There isa funny ignorance, or simplicity or impudence,in this challenge,we are at a loss to decide which. Smugglers are not apt to tell of their haunts or arrangements, but this writer may be a smuggler himself, and wants to know if his quarters are suspected. It is a matter on which little can be known but by results, which require time to unfold them. No where on the old continent are the facilities so great as on our northeastern frontier, and along the river and lake shores from the St. Lawrence westward. The custom house establishments as they exist on the lakes, would be a mere jest to a French or Scotch smuggler; and as our government seems disposed to encourage the devel- opment of Yankee enterprtse and shrewdness in this fertile field of experiment, we need not doubt a result as success- ful as the invention of tan sausages or wooden nutmegs. There is bt one mode of discouraging the smuggler, and that is the simple one of rating the duties so low that the risk will exceed the impost. s to Mr. Parmlee’s mission along the frontier, the proceeding is quite ridiculous. A knowntreasury agent coming along to enquire into and put astop to smuggling, if he found at t's almost as good asthe Irish militiaman at Vinegar Hill, who on sen- try duty, challenged a party with—" Stop and say Boyne water, oF Pll shoot you.” No doubt of it. But it makes the matter worse, when this agent lounges in this city, about the taverns and billiard rooms, instead of proceed: ing to the frontier, and trying to do his duty. We have been informed that this very agent has been holding out at certain bar rooms thus: “I know Bennett is broke and bankrupt. He could not pay a draft of about $200—but let it be protested.” The ingratitude and injustice of thisParmlee isamu- sing. Three yeare ago he came from Connecticut, begging of ussome little employment. We did not want him,but after a great dealof solic _tion,I gave him alittle work at $10or $12 per week. Instead of making his expenses conformwith his means,he lived atthe U.S. Hotel till he gotin debt. 1 found him verv unserviceable, and almost useless, but out of charitv continued to give him a little employment on the Herald. I sent him to Albany as a correspondent —then to the Harrisburgh Convention, when Har- rison was nominated—then to Washington during the last two sessions of Congress. At first he was a little industrious and at his earnest solicitation, Tloaned him $500 on his faith as a man of integri- ty. During the last summer, he became utterly negligent and inattentive—and I had to dismiss him. But before this took place, he had the cool- ness or impudence, ] don’t know which, to draw upon me for about $200, in addition to the $500 I had already advanced. For refusing to pay sucha dratt, this government agent now goes about report- ing that “ Bennett is broken—I know it. He lets his paper be protested.” We certainly think the Government deserves much credit for selecting the talents and integrity of this agent to look after smuggling on the frontier. When such fellows get into the confidence of honest men, and exhibit such conduct to their benefactors, it becomes a public duty to expose them publicly. Mats Desrroyen.—The Eastern and Southern mails which were made up in Detroit onthe 6th inst , were totally destroyed with the Vermillion. The mails contained all matter deposited in the office between 3 o’clock P. M. of the 4th, and3 P. M., of the 5th, and all matter going east or south which reached Detroit by the northern mail of the 4th and western mail of the 5th. Svrerpe.—Mareius H. Marsh, of Randolph, this State, hung himself on the 29th ult. He wastwen- ty years of age, a member of the Presbyterian Church, and a young man of irreproachable cha- racter. DisaGreeante.—The weather yesterday. It was muggy, foggy, rainy, misty, and sunshiny. Cnratuam Taeatre.—Mr. Rice appears to-night as James Crow, in the laughable extravaganza of the Foreign Prince. Mr. Rice ie not only the origi- nal, but decidedly the most popular delineator of negro characters that ever appeared on the stage ; and his performances at the English theatres, which we understand he is about to visit again fora short time, elicited the warmest approbation. In addi- tion to the Foreign Prince, will be repeated the oplendid drama of Gustavus UT, in which Mr. J. R. Scott appears, and for the eighth time, the drama o/ the Devil’s Daughters, which seems to haye lost none of ita popularity, Narronat Dry Dock.—As the construction of a dry dock at Brooklyn by the National government, is now under consideration by the Secretary of the Navy, the relative merits of the several plans pre- sented should be well examined before a decision ismade by that public functionary, and yet as ax appropriation has been made for that purpose, the depressed state of business with the mechanical branches, should prevent any unnecessary delay in the commencement of this important and necessary work. The proposition to construct a stone dock, has but few advocates, and these are principally among men who care naught for expense, or never trouble their brain sufficient to investigate new im- provements, orkeep pace with the march of science. The enormous expense attending the construction ofa stone dry dock, and the time that is required to complete it, form decided objections to such a work, le from many others that could be presented, did time and space permit. The most feasible, and certainly the most econo- mical plan that has met our attention, is that in- vented some few years since by John S. Gilbert, Esq., of this city, who has had one in constant use since it was constructed, and who recently disposed of the right to construct one on asimilar plan, to the city of Amsterdam for thirteen thousand guilders. The simplicity of construction, together with the immense power possessed in small compass, strikingly recommends it to the eye of a practical man; and experience in its use has ob- tained for it the preferences of almost every scientific naval man who has examined the one now in use. It possesses every advan- tage of a stone dock, and whenit is considered that its cost isscarcely one fifth as much, the Secreta- ty, in these days of economy and reform, should test well its merits before deciding upon any other plan. Itis built from the inside,and can therefere be easily repaired. {t can be towed to any location to receive a vessel of large size that might not be able to approach the mouth of astone dock, and can be always kept dry and well ventilated, which, asa matter of comfort and benéfit to the health of work- men, is a consideration that should deserve notice, as those constructed of stone must, from their posi- tion, be always liable to these objections. The cost of construction of a dock of sufficient size, on the plan to float the large ship Pennsylvania, while in perfect readiness for sea, is estimated at only $300,- 000, while a stone dock will cost over a million, and there is not a question as to its durability for some fifty years,as is alleged by eminent naval architects, when the cost of rebuilding will not be a tithe of the interest sunk in the enormous amount of money ex- pended in astone dock. The most scientific naval men of this country bear testimony toits superiority over every other principle of dry dock that is now in use, and there is no question of its being the only one, except a stone dock, in which‘a vessel of the size of the North Carolina could be rebuilt.— The one now in use by Mr. Gilbert, being the first constructed, isliable to many improvements that experience has pointed out in its use.

Wood & Co., 45 Gold street, Printers and Publishers —Here is a volume, rich, rare, and racy. The biography of the renowned, eccentric, aud_never to be forgotten Lorenzo Dow, the Davy Crockett of Modern Theology—the great high priest of religious extra- vagance—before the rebeg and singularity of whose intellect, the puny pulings of his modern imi- tators, seem like the mist which rises from the tor- rent of Niagara, when compared with the vast cata- ract itself. There was material enough inthe mind of Lorenzo Dow, to make a dozen modern rantere and fanatics—material of the richest and rarest kind, too. fe isbrim full of interest, odd, whimsical, humorous and instructive. It contains a long chap- teron prophecy, and if Lorenzo were living now, to enlarge upon the subject, there’s no knowing where Parson Millerand Dr. Brownlee would find themselves, or when the arch-ange’ls final tramp would rend the rocks and (mountains. The volume contains a portrait of Lorenzo, and his first wife Peggy, and is handsomely printed. Tur Cornintutan, 68 Wall street, corner of Water, has been opened by Mr. P.

The manager ex- perienecs as much difficulty in persuading people that it is adeception, as they do at the other Museum in con- vincing visiters tofjthe contrery.

The ;kill and grace they display, is truly surprising. ‘They execute the most difficult pieces of music with all the ease and finish of eminent professors. Diamond, Ro- salie, Boyce, &c. appear.

IF ALL PEOPLE FELT THE SAME SENSE offduty expressed by Mr. Reynolds, a conscientious gentleman of the first respectability, living at the corner of Chrystie and Delancy streets, they might de much good in the world. Mr.R. was for years cripple, with limbs very much swollen and cords contracted, until he could not walk. He has now entirely recovered, by the use of a remedy that he does not feel right to keep from the pub- lic, though he has no interest whatever in allowing his name to go forth, except the relief of human suffering. He has been cured entirely, and by the use of the Nerve and Bone Liniment, Hewes’, and the Indian Vegetable Elixir, sold at 71 Maiden Lane It is seldom that a man ot his standing and Yoong will come out as he does in favor of an article, and we honor him the more for it, and particularly as there are so many worthless articles offer- ed; for such testimony as his enables the afflicted of ony sense to discriminate between the goed and the bad. Og- WARM WEATHER.—The increasing effect of extreme warm weather upon the human frame, is com- monly allowed to be debilitating to ape health, and inimi- calto the charms of beauty. In tfe latter respect, the hair in particular often suffers considerably , if timely pre- ven‘ion be not had recourseto. Of all the specifics ever invented for strengthening, sustaining, and beautifying the hair, none, it may be said, have given general satisfac- tion has universally been evinced by the use of Row- Lanp’s Maccassar Ort. In warm weather,in particular, when the hair is more liable to become weak, dark, and Saco lanea eit a the ends, coming out in comb, &c, the application of Rowland’s Macassar never falls in a short time to infuse a grateful nourishment to the roots, and re-produce health and beauty inthe hair. 18&22 AGOOD MEI LIBLE HEALTH PILLS. cines, and hate anything public, especially where health and human life are con- cerned—and would no more recommend a medicinewhich we didnot know to be good, than we would sweeten our neighbor's coffee with arsenic.
