\fr Archer.-*Thi* gentleman has been among /he last of the old friends of the President to re finniiish the hope that he might be redeemed vmn th e control of those who have flattered and Graved him. He ‘spoke in a decided tone at the commencement of the session on the ques on 0f the contested election. Alarmed at what he said Moore abandoned the claim to be qual ified as*the sitting member, but ^e then saw that Mr Archer had .committed the unpardonable offence, and that upon the first occasion other members, who might be disposed to give way, would be lashed over his shoulders. According ly the Globe of yesterday, assails him in a strain of vulgar abuse which would disgrace a drunk en huffy in a court green. The purpose of this assault is to keep the members of the party in the traces. It is to give them notice of what they may expect should they dare to hesitate in obedience to the mandate of the Kitchen. Mr. Archer must congratulate himself on this attack. All honorable, men will consider it an evidence of his fidelity to the laws, and to the interests of his constituents.— Telegraph. Protested Notes— We learn on undoubted au thority, that on Wednesday last, post notes from the Commercial Bank at Cincinnati, amount ing to $13,000 were presented to the Schuylkill Bank in this City, $nd protested; that notes or drafts amounting to $21,000 were presented from the City Bank of New Orleans, on the Gi rard Bank, and shared the same fate, on the same' day. Damages, by the laws of Louisiana, are 10 pyr cent.; and of Ohio, 8 per cent —Phil. Com. Bank of the~United States.—The Branch in this city discounted yesterday fifty per cent., more than it received! Does this look Iikej>res sing the merchants? When has there ever been a pressure upon the market that the U. S. Bank has not done more than any other institution to relieve it, and more than would have been deemed safe in any local Bank?—-V. Y. Cour. The Bunk.—A rumor is affpat and we fear, is with too much cause*, believed by those whose duty it is to guard against it, that the Govern ment are taking measures to direct a refusal of Branch Bank Checksat all places of receipt of public moneys, and thereby throwing back upon the Bank ot me united states tnusmucn of its present circulation. These Branch Checks on the Mother Bank, (if our memory serves us) were adopted, in consequence of the immense labor Jhat tell on the President and Cashier of the Mother Bank, in signing all the bills of that Institution, comprising a circulation of about twenty miliions of dollars. These Branch Checks, have for years, boon-found of great con venience and answered every practical purpose, and were currently received, arid still are receiv ed by the Bank. The Government however, having failed in its warfare thus far against the Bank,"are about reviving a technical question, as to the constitutionality of these Branch Checks and by refusing to receive them as the Bank Notes” of the Bank, will, as before said, return upon the Bank thus much of its present circula tion. v To guard against this hostile movement, the Bank will be compelled, of course, to dimit its loans and place itself in an attitudesof security This is not all—with a hostile party at Washing ton, at the head of which is the Government” itself, claiming (against all law and all right) the entire and complete control of the public money, inspirited also by an almost unanimous vote of our Legislature—this power can, at any moment, (with a full knowledge ,of the condi tion of the Bank of the United States, which is rendered by the Bank every week in full and clear statements, shewing its weak points, if it has any, as well as its strong ones)—pounce up on it with all its combined force. To meet these contingencies what course has the Bank to adopt, but husband its resources, and throw its power of resistance and self protection at any point where the attack may be anticipated? We put the question to Gen. Jackson, who is a military man and a good soldier too—and ask him, what course he would adopt were he called upon to defend his country against a floating enemy, whose point of debarkation ranged be tween the Penobscot and the Mississippi; the General not to know the point of attack, but the enemy, knowing every work by clear and ex plicit statements, and the position and means of defence opposed to him.—N. Y. Gaz. Dense Population.—Under this head a New York paper lately mentioned the case of over 100. people living in that city in one house. We bare since noticed, in a London Review, a des cription of a section of that metropolis where 30 or 40 houses were occupied, as the visiting au thorities stated, by at least 2,000 people, or an average of from 50 to 70 in a house. One do micil of this kind contained 100 beds, which were let for the night, to beggars and other charac ters of like calibre—in addition to the daily and tegular occupation. ^COMMERCIAL.

January, 1833: Average °38 Range of the Thermometer 48 Warmest day, the 6th 62 Coldest day, the 11th 14 .During the month, 2 clear days. Note.—This month the weather has been much colder than that of January, 1833. Tn Ja nuary, last year, there was but one small flirt of snow; whereas in January, this year, there were four severe snow-storms, the aggregate depth of which was sixteen inches in town; and to wards the mountains, the depth of snow which fell at one time was fourteen inches. The win ter has been severe throughout the continent, according to accounts from various quarters. The navigation of the Potomac has been ob structed by ice several times this month; where as, in the corresponding month of last year, there was only thin drifting ice, for a short pe riod; and ice-houses \yere never stored with pu rer ice than at the present. A warm spell of weather occurred from Fri day, 17th, to Monday, .‘20th, which deserves a passing notice. On Saturday, the 18th. the at mosphere was as mild as many days in May. the thermometer ranging from 52 to 62 degrees throughout the day. This unusual state of the atmosphere, at this season of the year, awoke from their long slumber insects and reptiles of various kinds, and they appeared as active as though it had been a midsummer day. The ap pearance of many I witnessed myself. A gentleman residing near town assures me, w that a large quantity of Bees quit their hives, and swarmed in pursuit of another residence.” Snakes issued forth from their winter quarters, and spiders and flies were full of life. These signs were construed by many persons, myself included, into a declaration that winter was no more! Observers of the weather have sometimes been correct in the foregoing conclu sion. But we have all failed in our prognostics this time; for, from the 21st to nearly the end of this month, stern Winter has rode, with terrific majesty, on every breeze or gale, from whate ver quarter it came. On the 22d there was a heavy freshet in the Potomac, occasioned by the dissolution of snow on the mountains, but no damage was sustained here.

Ayounglady in my family, by using two papers, I have rea son to believe, is effectually cured of an alarm ing Pulmonic Complaint, which in all its symp toms gave evidence of immediate consumption.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and mv plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE on which he was riding, both belonging to me, were stolen by a man who seems to have been a stranger in this part of the country. When seen in possession of the Slave and oftheMare, he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court House. He is described to me as a person be tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re markablyVhite hair; his stature stout and well set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in ches high; has a drawling manner of talking, and appears to he much less sagacious than he really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under clothing drab cloth. The Mare is a line large sorrel, without any *pot of white about her, unless perhaps there may be some few white hairs in the centre o! the forehead, not covering more than the size o! a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is recollected, going on seven years of age; is re markably long in her body; ias a long tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes an incision which was made a year or two age to cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given foi therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in the proportion of four and two for the recovery o: either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

IN that long tram of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life- vet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity which so often bames tl.*^ sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and salutary remedies is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive J. symptom#—oppression ot the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic lever; shri veiled extremeties, and general emaciation ot the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the tull posses sionofthe mental faculties, and while hope still whis pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the most approv-d rt’medtes ever yet discovered is DR RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally sate and inne cent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cure# upon patients supposed toha.’e been far advanc edin a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit ed the appearances which usually indicate a fata* ter mination of ihe disorder. A# the Fills require in ordinary cases no confine, ment, they may be administered with confidence and #afety to all ages and classes of people.

I ?oncl^^ that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process-no vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the ongi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted Under these considerations, l secured the origi nal and' certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skill of me dical science: 1st White s wellings of every description? 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons? or what some people know by the name of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints? 6t.h Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th fetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the pari out or water; 8th Ohilblainsor parts affected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to tire medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This oiniment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal tin* externa! sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the canes, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours. CERTIFICATES. From the Hon. John Cocke. Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress.

This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are ur.. congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) \s found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pleasant and benign in its operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of perfotming a cure; that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the parents, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eve cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of catching trold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits. These pills cure ail cases, anu cannot ue iaaen to excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them lias already verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the w eak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, beca ise they clear the body of its ba l humours, and invariably procure sound sleep. They are the safest and mo:’ efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, &c, The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout the day, mixed in half a wine glass of water. Extract of a Letter to Dr. Moat.
