The bed upon which the operation was performed was then at the man’s side, so that I requested him to mount the chair, and piace himself upon it, which he did, trembling and being very palid at the time; but as thisis@ very common occurrence in operations, no Lety ioe notice was taken of it. Dr. Beers directly k the spong and placed from twenty to twenty-five drops upon it; this! 0) ved very carefully, and thought it would be insufficient to produce the desired effect. ‘The sponge was then put upon a handkerchief and held at a little distance between the nose and the mouth; the moment this was done, I sat down and inserted a di- reotor into the sinus on the right side, when the man oy hishand over to prevent me; I moved his hand upon is side and took up the bistory, but I saw he replaced his hand upon the sore; again I removed it, when it was not returned. The first sinus was opened momentarily, and the mouth of the other being large and not deep, | pushed my finger into it by ite side, and opened it also, ‘The whole operation did not exceed forty seconds At the moment of cutting through the last sinus, I noticed he turned over more upon bis stomach, and stretched his legs out extremely. 1 looked up and perceived that Dr. Beers had not the sponge then applied to Patrick Murpby; but he observed to me that he looked very Geathly. I went round the bed, put my fi the wrist; finding no pulse,I threw Tene fall of water, with great force, into the patient face; this im ‘one deep inspiration, with great noise in the throat and opening of the eye-lids, when nothing but the white of re could be seen. As he did not recommence breathing, I Fogeencts immediately to administer arti- ficial inspiration, whilat Dr. Beors got brandy to give in tornally, and assistants to rub the body with hot appli- tural position, but the pupil was exceedingly dilated, in consequence of which, I opened the temporal artery, but no blood flowed. Dr. Beers proceeded for the assistance of Dr. Robson; on his errival, the man was pronounced by all purtiesau dead. Artificial respiration was kept up = forty minutes, and other advisable means’ for one jour. The chief points elicited by the coroner’s examina- tion were the following :— That the man Jabored under only a slight cough revious. That his general health was supposed to gradually improving. t the original operation was proceeding well. That he always was obliged to have stimulants administered after the dressing of his wound, from the extreme weak: it produced. That he hsd been lately aes consequently bad du- ties to perform for which he was ill fitted. That he bad been an babitual drinker of ardent spi: and had very lately been induced to give them up. That hha before taken chloroform to a much larger extent, and, it was stated, without any ill effects. The points proved, by th mortem examination, that beor on the oase, are—That the lungs were found studded with tuber! and in both lungs aboesses ex- isted. That the lining membrane of the lungs adhered to the chest throughout, and that the heart was en- larged, pals and sof:; also that the membrane that con- tained the rt held about three ounces of aerum. Dr Jas. R. Wood.who conducted the post mortem ex- aminaiion,etated as his opinion, that there was sufficient ai of the lungs to cause desth; but could not sa he administration of chloroform had hastene: da ; that he bad known sudden death often from Gisease of the lungs xlone, when upon examination the lungs were found not so much diseased as in the present case. Numerous instances can be adduced of sudden death from disease of the lungs, where much iter exertion than that of getting up into a high Yas been the immediate cause, and without the excitement of sn operation — The quantity of chloroform adminis- tered by Dr. Boers was not as great as that previously given, and I think insufficient to cuuse death under any circamstances I fowad by examining the sponge directly after the operation, that the great er part was atill upon ft, as its’ odour was very stroug. The cbloroform was prepared by Chiltow To close this already long article, 1 say for my friend Dr Beers, that the administration was secundum artem; and that the doetor told me before the operation, it was not his intewtion to put the man fully under its influ- ence, that he had taken Patrick Murphy from Dr. Par- ker’s clinique, and consequently did not deem it neces- sary to institate another examination after so short a period, aud the man epparentiy improving ia health. As for myself, [simply state that as the operator in the case, 1 did not consider it my business to examine the patient, as a surgeon expects nothing more or less, than to proceed with an operation as soon as conve. nient; but had Dr Beers requested me to administer the ebloroform. I uid have done so with this difference : —I should have applied more to the sponge. Allof the above, I respectfully submit to the public and medical profession. OrfO ROTTON, M. D., Brooklyn.

Dividends Merrimac Co... 2000-000 June spare: & 4 per cent. nothin; It will thus be seen that the dividends en a capital of 10,400,000 dollars have been for the firet half year 394,00) dollars, equal to 3 78-100 per cent ; and for the'last half year, 224,000 dollars, or 215-100 per cent, equal to 593. 100 per cent forthe year. This is probably a favorable view of the present condition of the cotton manufacture, ‘as these concerns are considered amongst the largest in the country. It is, however, necessary to look more closely into the causes of this state of things, to see if they have been really depressed by the changes ip the tariff, and the adoption of the revenue standard, or whether the result of the last year’s business has not been produced more by the internal mansgement of the different eatablish- ments, than by any thing else. The short crop of cotton in 1846, and the advance in prices which immediately followed the total receipt of the supply for that sesson) created considerable speculation in the staple; and the manufacturers, during the spring and summer of 1847 Provided themselves with large stocks of the raw-mate- rial. at tip top prices. When the revulsion in Europe commenced in August last, prices of the raw material: and of cotton manufactured goods, commenced down; and in the absence of other markets, large lots of these goods were sent to this country from Great Bri- tain, and forced upon the market at an enormous sacri- fice. Prices for cottom in Liverpool reached a point within a fraction of the lowest mark ever realised; and all goods manufactured of the raw material, at the low prices ruling, were brought into competition with those manufactured in this country from eottom purchased at the highest prices. The result of this was serious losses to our domestie manufacturers. Had more jadgment been ured in the purchase of the raw material, there would have bee mo such dismal and gloomy account of earnings, as exhibited in the above table; and had the: large surplus fonds laid up from the earnings of pre- vious years, been reserved for the payment of dividends in times like} these, instead of making the mort extravagant expenditures for new mills and new ms chinery, there would not have been so much complaint egainst the tariff, or so much disappointment among stockholders.

Affairs in Wasbincton, Wasurneton, March 6, 1848, Yucatan—-Correction of Misstatements—- The Treaty—Mr. Slidell’s Instructions. Mr. Sierra, the Commissioner from Yucatan, has received despatches from his government, conveying the startling intelligence that the In dians, numbering forty thousaad men, (an exag- geration itis hoped,) were committing a terri- ble slaughter of the whites, devastating village after vill and, in the wantonness of unbri- dled fury, making an indiseriminate massacre ot the defenceless inhabitants. The authorities of Yucatan have instructed Mr. Sierra to solicit the interference of the United States government to | put anend to this extermination. They wish to be supplied with arms and ammunition with which to defend themselves, and beg this ge- vernment to despatch a portion of the home equad- ron to their coast, for the purpose of keeping the savages in awe. The Spanish authorities of Cuba have already ofisred their intervention, and no doubt our government will feel bound to in- terpose, for the purpose of checking those fear ful atrocities which seem perpetrated with a view to the absolute extermination of the whole white race in that unfortunate country. Tho te quest of Mr. Sierra will be considered by the Cabinet to-morrow, and it cannot be doubted that such a conclusion will be arrived at ag the dic tates of humanity plainly suggest. i It has been stated that Mr. Sierra has applied on behalf of Yucatan to be annexed to the United States; and further,.that he has protested against the treaty. He has dome neither, No official proposition for annexation has ever come from Yucatan. No propositien, official or other- wise, has come through Mr. Sierra. Mr. Robei- ra. did mention unofficially, and casually, that he wished such a measure could be compassed ; but the suggestion vever received encourage- ment from this government. ‘There 18 m0 foun- dation for the statement that Mr. Sierra hes pro~ tested against the ratification or acceptance of the treaty with Mexico. ‘ The treaty was again under consideration in the Senate to-day, aud the debate took a more practical and pertinent tendency than hitherto. The vote will in all probability be taken to-mor- row evening. An attempt was made to take the question this evening, but it did not suc- ceed. There is little, if any, doubt entertained of the ratification of the treaty, and yet it pro- mises to be a closer vote than one would be led tosuppose. General Houston left this evening in the cars for New Hampshire, as he cannot con- sclentiously vote for the treaty, and yet does not Wish to contribute, even by possibility, by his yote, to the retardation of peace. 1 understand he goes to address a democratic meeting in some part of New Hampshire. One of the many errors that are ot present cir culating uncontradicted, is, that Slidell v instructed to offer thirty millic i dollars f Upper and Lower California New The President never dream giv unirty millions of dollars for that t ory, even at the time Mr. Slidell was sent. ‘Tuat minister was instructed to « e millions for the Rio Grande as ab y, twenty. millions for Up- rer Californ d New Mexico, and twenty- five millions Viexico, Upper and Lower California ar ary of the Rio Grande. The instruc en communicated to the Senate, a y shall be publishea, it will be four in the case of the Uni- ted States as ag co, is sustained by the most masterly cuiment that has yet ape peared on the question. GaLvIBNsIs. Wasuineton, March 7, 1848. The Treaty Still Swinging. Not quite through. The Senate have been sit- ting seven hours upon the treaty to-day. It was about eight o’clock when they came down from the hillto-night. It has been a hard day’s work. Benton, Breese, Calhoun, Webster, Mangum, Berrien, Cass, Sevier, Allen, Hannegan. West- cott, und others, took part, we learn, in the dis- cussion. The main question discussed was the expediency of rejecting this treaty altogether, and sending down commissioners to make & new one; or whether the other alternative of patching up the compact of Mr. Trist, was not the better pla The case we consider to be set- tled in favor of the patching. Gen. Houston has one off, itis said, to avoid the hard necessit euty if he had remained. Gen. has come to terms, and will go with the friends of the administration and of the treaty. The great difficulty has been with the whigs. The Intelligencer and the Union have egreed at last upon one great measure—they harmonize upon the question of peace—upon the medium of procuring it, there is a difference; but neither Mr. Gales nor the whigs of the Se- nate have the nerve to confront the out-door pressure in favor of this very treaty, as the short- est road to a pacification, and to a close of this expensive war. ae We expect to notify you by telegraph to-mor- row of the aispaea of ‘the treaty by the Senate hy an overwhelming vote, and without shaking the fundamental terms of ine stipulations of Mr. | Trist, regarding the boundary and the moneys to be’ paid. wW.

We must make peace ; and the idea now so prevalent that peace i8 in this treaty must be respected. If we reject itand the war is renewed, we shall have a de- y toanswer.” Such eeems to be the opinion of the Senate of the out door pressure, end they are by no means very wide of the mark Paciricus. Wasutneron, March 7, 1848. Evening Entertainments. The last of the regular assemblies came off at Jackson Hall, last night. It was a brilliant at- fair, comparatively; that is to say, with the last one preceding. These assemblies are a great relief to the ‘tupper ten.” There are four for the season, at $5 each to strangers; but no resi- dent for the winter can go to no one of them without paying for all; that is, it will cost him $20) And this keeps off what we have heard designated as your poer, common people, and makes the assemblies comfortably exclusive to your thin-skinned aristocrats, at $1,400 a year.
