Dr. Stevens, an eminent physician of London, has recently made certain discoveries relating to the diseased and healthy state of the blood, and the agency of salt upon the circulation, which seem likely to produce a great revolution in the treatment of fevers and malignant disea ses in general. It is well known that the blood of the arteries is of a bright crimson color, w hile that of the veins, which is returning to the heart, after hav ing spent its vivifying influence, is of a dark pur ple. According to Dr Stevens, the bright red color, the vitality and the stimulating power of the arterial blood, are all dependent on the quantity of salt which enters into its composition; w hile all acids and alkalies, and, in general, all poisons, tend to blacken the blood, to reduce its stimulating powers, and of course to diminish the force ofits circulation. The purple color of the venous blood is owing to the carbonic acid it has imbibed. In the lungs, the oxogen of the at mosphere removes this deleterious acid, and the circulating fluid then resumes its bright scarlet appearance. According to this theory, poisons, and those malignant disorders, such as the marsh fever, yellow fever, &c. which originate from the pa tient having imbibed a febrile poison, are, in their very last stages, accompanied with a black ness and stagnation of the blood, occasioned by the destruction of its saline principle; and to cure the patient, this saline principle must be restored. Take, for instance, the bite of a rattle-snake. In this case, the poison of the serpent’s fang mingles with the circulation, destroys its red color, and its vitality, brings on blackness of the blood, stagnation of its current, convulsions, and death. The untailing antidote, which ex perience has taught the Indian to apply, is to scarify the wound to the bottom, and to fill it with salt. This salt is taken into the circulation, restores the redness and vitality of the blood, and the wound soon heals. Malignant fevers, and other malignant disorders, operate in the same way. They begin by destroying the color and vitality of the blood, and reducing it to a black and putrid mass; and, says Dr. Stevens, I have seen patients, in the last stages of these disorders, recover under the internal use of large doses of common salt and other saline agents, where the cases at first were so hopeless, that their recovery afterwards appeared to be almost a miracle. The climate fever of southern reigions, and some other fevers, are produced in u different way; a cold climate requires a different con stitution from a warm one. In the cold climate, the digestive organs are more vigorous, and the blood is rich, stimulating and fall of salts. 1 he blood in southern climates is of less brilliant co lor, thinner, and less impregnated with saline substances. When the constitution of a north ern stranger is suddenly exposed to the influ ence of a southern climate, nature hastens to produce the necessary change in circulation, and this change is generally accompanied with an awful disease. While the skin performs its functions of perspiration, there is no danger; but the moment perspiration becomes obstruct ed, from imprudent exposure to the cold night air, or any other reason, the fever breaks out.— The cause is. that the blood is too stimulating, too full of salt; and the danger is, lest this op eration of nature, for reducing it, should be car ried too far, and the blood so much blackened and weakened, that the patient dies from mere exhaustion. These disorders, therefore, ac cording to Dr. Stevens, in their first stages re quire the acid, in their latter stages the saline treatment. _ If this theory of Dr. Stevens be true, a great step has been made in the treatment of febrile and malignant disorders; and certainly the uni versal use of salt as an indispensible article of diet, as far back as history carries us, and the craving which even animals, both wild and tame, exhibit for it, would tend to prove that this condiment has some universal and essen tial effect on the bodily constitution. War on the Canal—In obedience to the re quisition of the Governor of this State, the Presi dent has ordered two companies of the United States Troops to the line of the Canal with or ders promptly to suppress all violent proceed ings. One of the companies from Fort Mc Henry, under the command of Capt. Mackey, fully equipped, with fixed ammunition, maga zine &c. passed through this city, via the Rail road, on Thursday. They are a body of fine looking men, and excited much admiration.— They arrived at Williamsport yesteiday, and will remain as long as their sei vices aie deemed necessary. Nearly thirty of the rioters were apprehended in the vicinity of Berlin, and lodged in the jail of the county on Thursday last. On the arrival of the troops from Baltimore in the Rail road Cars, we were forcibly impressed with the great benefit which would result to the I country from railroads in case ot an invasion. For, with what ease could several thousand men be concentrated at one point, without fatigue, fresh and ready for battle, on their arrival; in stead of being dragged over muddy roads, and so much fatigued, when their services are re quired, that all the chances of “glorious war5 might slip whilst they were recruiting. Frederick Herald. Statistics.—The city councils of Baltimore hav ing recently called on the board of trustees of the poor of that city, for information touching the number, character and circumstances of the in mates of the poor house, received in return a report exceedingly explicit, and, we should entcfar'tnvv Wp make a few extracts: For the period of one year, the records of the house show, that of 879 admitted, and born in the house, there were, Intemperate adults, 583 Temperate adults, 150 Habits unknown do. 24 Children of temperate parents, 49 Do of intemperate do 62 Do parents’habits unknown, 11 879 Here is a pretty display of intemperance, and it ought to be remarked, that none are entered on that list who are not steady hands, getting drunk whenever they can get liquor. There were born and admitted within the year, Under one year 30 From 40 to 50 112 From 1 to 10 years, 88 50 to 60 67 10 to 20 73 60 to 70 44 20 to 30 229 70 to 80 27 30 to 40 196' 80 to 90 11 S79 From this statement, it appears that of the whole number admitted, 537 were between the ages ol 20 and 50, who therefore should be in the vigor of life; and most of whom might, but from their habits of intemperance, abundantly support themselves. We should say, that such a record as the above ought to be a most affecting sermon upon temperance.— U. S. Gaz. Cat out nf the Bag”— The followingextract of a letter from a person high in the confidence of Gen. Jackson, and constant in his intercourse with the President at Washington, to a very confidential friend in this city, dtvelopes the ulterior views of the managers. Its authentici ty may be relied upon: “Tell C. to keep quiet; things will go as he wishes. Be careful, in your resolutions to be presented at the Tamany Hall meeting not to have any thing in favor of a new Bank; do not re fer atall to such a project.

After the vote.is taken, we can reconcile them, and make certain arrange ments with the bank as to an extension of their time, and a final transfer of stock to the new in stitution.

Mrs. Bradstr eeVs suits.—In the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York; sitting at Albany, the case of Martha Bradstreet vs. A polios Cooper, involving the title to the land on which a great part of the ci ty of Utica is built, was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday last, after occupying the Court for six days. The jury, having remained in con sultation the whole of Tuesday night, came into court on Wednesday morning, stating that they had not agreed on a verdict, and that it was their opinion they could not agree. By the consent of counsel they were discharged. N. V’. Jour. Com. Grand Consolidated Lottery, Class 3 for 1834, To be drawn at Wilmington, Del.

We have already stated that a large Conven tion recently assembled in the State of Ohio, at which Mr. Van Buren was nominated for next President, and other party matters and things adjusted. The Columbus Sentinel furnishes a curious table of statistics as connected with that Convention. It shows who’s who and what’s what. Of the members who composed it, there were— Postmasters 13 Collectors of ports 1 Registers and Receivers 3 Light-house keepers 2 Inspectors Printers by authority 4 Superintendents of National Road 2 Bearers of Despatches (foreign) 1 Commissioner under the Naples treaty 1 Governors Secretary of State 1 Members of the Legislature 59 Canal Fund Commissioners Agents of School Lands 1 Associate Judges and Clerks 8 County Auditors 2 Sheriffs and Assessors 4 County Surveyors 1 Total number of Office-holders 106 Number who hold no office 71 Total 177 This Convention made Congressional Com mittees, to attend to the affairs of the party throughout the state; and the following table shows who these Committees are composed of: T) n ntnro _ _ X UOVIIHt'JVVI W Collectors of Ports 1 Light house .keepers 1 Inspectors 2 United States Marshal 1 Sergeant-at-Arrns 1 Clerk of the Senate 1 Mail Contractor 1 Members of the Legislature 6 Canal Fund Commissioners 1 Associate Judges and Clerks 2 County Auditor 1 Sheriffs and Assessors 2 Number of Office-holders 30 Number who hold no office 22 Total 52 Finally, the Convention appointed a State Central Committee,” to regulate and direct the whole party machine, and this State Central Committee” is thus classed: U.

We submit the above statements without com ment, believing that the mere exhibition of the facts will excite all those reflections in which we might be disposed to indulge. The effort made by Mr. Selden, of New York, to have the great New York Memorial referred to a Select Committee, with power to send for persons and papers, failed. Mr. Polk’s motion to send it to the Committee of Ways and Means was carried, by a vote of 113 to 90. The debate on this subject was long and ani mated. We consider the result as indicative, somewhat, of the vote on the main question. The spirit with which this memorial was re ceived by the party, is shown by the fact of the Globe’s speaking of the opposition having brought the delegation of the whole aristocra ts V/.IH V/M-lr flift ]r\KKioc U A’ n Ar r> tViot Vs UA V A A*. vw 'V- w VVV.I frA*W%«, is, the great body of the active merchants, me chanics and traders of New York compose the ct whole aristocracy” of that city. We presume the hard-working signers of the memorial will be astonished to find themselves christened C{ aristocrats.” We annex the ayes and noes upon the ques tion. Mr. Selden was sustained by Mr. Wilde, Mr. Gorham, Mr. Patton, and others. Mr. Polk was backed by Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Baylies, M;. Wayne, and others.

Mr. Van Buren took the hint and smited. Mr. Poindexter spoke in the Senate, the othei day, of the skittishness of certain leaders of the party, who get frightened at even resolutions for enquiry. His remark was just and expres sive. ______ As the Globe is good at sketches, we would thank it to let us have No. 2. devoted to a view of the interior of the Kitchen.

It is currently reported, that the Philadelphia Girard Bank had voted to request the Covern mpnt tn withdraw the denosites from its vaults. Among the appropriations for the naval ser vice of the year 1831. is one of Jive thousand dol lars for carrying into effect the acts lor the sup pression of the Slave trade, including the sup port in the United States, and for a term not ex ceeding six months after their arrival in Africa, of all persons removed from the United States under the said acts. The New York Evening Star, of Friday, says: It is computed that more than half a million of dollars must be raised to-morrow, being quarter-day. We hope that landlords will be indulgent in times like the present.” The Legislative council of the Territory of Michigan, now in session at Detroit, have elect ed John McDowell, Esq. to be their President, and John Norvell, Esq. to be their Secretary. That flourishing Territory, we have reason to believe, will, in the course of twelve months, become the twenty-fifth state of the Union. Extract of a letter to a Mercantile House in Philadelphia, dated Louisville, Jan. 16th, 1834: The times in this, as in other places farther West, are truly mournful. The withdrawal of the public deposites from the Bank of the Unit ed States, and the manner in which the adminis tration are persecuting that institution, will be the ruin of this place. Money is worth, in real es tate, 25 per cent.” Specie.—The New York Journal of Commerce of Saturday says: The U. S. ship Falmouth, from Valparaiso, is below, with a large amount of specie on board.” At another trial to elect a Representative to Congress in the Ninth Congressional District of Mass., the result appears to have been the same 1 as at the several preceeding trials: that is, no 1 Election. Mr: Jackson, the Anti-masonic can didate, having, as at the last trial, the greatest 1 number of votes; and Gen. Dearborn, the late i Representative, the next highest, he having a t majority of nearly a thousand votes over Mr. Thurber, the Jackson candidate. 1 Very late from Buenos Ayres.—The fast sail- ing brig Troubadour, captain Raines, has ar rived at Baltimore in the very short passage of thirty seven days from Buenos Ayres. She brings the “Packet” of the 7th and 14th De cember. x The accounts from Chili, over land, are to the 2d November; tranquility prevailed in that republic. In Peru, a montoner a warfare exist- i ed against the government in various depart- ments, and it had extended even to the gates of' Lima. The provinces of Santa Fe and Cordova have addressed communications to that of Bue nos Ayes, congratulating the latter on the elec- tion of Viamontof Governor. The “Packet” of the 14th has the following notice of a disaster which has befallen the brig Hyperion, of Baltimore. The American brig Hyperion, Janney, ofBal timore, was driven on shore at Colonia, at 2 o’clock on the morning of the 10th December, in a heavy gale, in which she parted both ca bles, and went on the sand beach in front of the Saladero de Botet. On the 11th she had seven feet water alongside, and was buried seven feet in the sand, but made no water, neither had she received any damage. The cargo on board (1000 quintals Beef and 250 fanegas Salt.) would be landed, and hopes were enter tained of her being got off. Empty casks to float her, and other assistance, were despatched from Buenos Ayres yesterday. CUT PLAIN GLASSWARE.

SUITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE. Washington, Feb. 3, 1834. DkvH Sir:—“Debate” has become a weari ness to every body here; nor, from any present; prospect, is there hope that it will not be so for many days to come. There are five or six Se nators prepared now for regular speeches as soon as they can get an opportunity. The ar guments are all worn out—the illustrations al most all exhausted. The speakers ding dong with most provoking complacency, and ring the changes without seeming to have heard what has been said weeks ago. I think the people have a right to complain of this. I have been in the House of Representatives all day, listening to an incidental debate which sprung up on Mr. Selden’s presenting the New York Memorial. Mr. Wilde made a very hand- some speech. Mr. Polk rallied the party, and at the close of the discussion they came up gal- lantly and defeated the movement of the friends of the Memorialists by a majority of seventeen votes. In this debate the facts—the reasons— the necessity of the case, were all on the side of Mr. Selden: and yet, see how promptly the par ty call of Mr. Polk was responded to! See how readily his few words, giving the cue, were an swered by the votes of the supporters of the Ad ministration! For myself, I do not think that any thing at all will be done. My own opinion is, that Con gress will permit the present plan to go on as commenced by the Secretary of the Treasury; that the country will bear and suffer on, until its suffering will compel men of all parties to unite hereafter in the determination again to restore a sound circulating medium; that by that time the President’s term will be out, and that his successor will go into office under the influence of the wishes of the people as to the currency, At __A_ a!_aL _ I and Will ooey uic It-^icsciuamcs vi me pcupic in any order they may make In regard to the fi nancial condition of the country. I state these views, and they may be taken for what they are worth. If they are correct, the prospect be fore as, is dreadful to contemplate. But why not look danger in the face at once? Why shut our eyes to probable results? There is no news of interest here, nor any ru mors worth repeating. Yours, X. There was but one packet ship in the port of New York on Saturday—the George Washing ton, to sail on the 8th inst. Of the packets and ships now due, the New York Gazette makes the following enumeration: Ships Due— An unusual number of packet and other ships are now due, among which are the following Indiamen:— Roman, Nabob, Mer chant, Dorothea, Omega, Pioneer, and Clema tis. From London and Portsmouth, packet ships Samuel Robertson, to sail from the latter port, Dec. 1; Canada, Dec. 10th; Sovereign, Dec. 20th; and the Hannibal, Jan. 1st. From Liver pool, Howard, Nov. 30th; South America, Dec. 1st; United States, Dec. 8th; Britanna, Dec. 16th; Napoleon, Dec. 24th; Ajax, Dec. 30th; and New-York, Jan. 1st. From Havre, Charle magne, Dec. 1st; Francis-Depau, Dec. 8th; Pol and, Dec. 16th; Erie, Dec. 24th; and Albany, January 1st. Thus there are 4 packets due from London; 7 from Liverpool; and 5 from Havre. It is now sixty-five days since our last advices from London; sixty-four from Liver pool, and sixty-six from Paris. Compared with last year our ships are great ly out of time. On the 6th of January, the pack et ship South-America, arrived with London dates of the 4th of December, and Liverpool of the 5th. On the 19th of January the Columbia from London brought advicces to the evening of December 4th. On the 24th of January the John-Jay, brought advices from Liverpool to the 8th of December. In the afternoon of the same day, the Havre, brought Paris papers of the 15th. On the 23th, the«Poland arrived with advices from Havre to the 24th. On the 30th, the ship Fiorida, from London, brought to the evening of December 27th, one month later than our present advices. Coffee.—There was imported into the port of Boston, from foreign countries, from January 1, to December 31, 1833, twenty-one million one hundred and fifty-two thousand, one hundred and seventy-one pounds of Coffee. Effects of Mind on Body.—Plato used to say ihat all the diseases of the body proceed from the soul. Says Mr. Weld, in his famous Report: The expression of the countenance is mind invisible. Bad news weakens the action of the heart, destroys appetite, oppresses the lungs, stops digestion, and partially suspends all the functions of the system. An emotion of shame flushes the face, fear blanches it, joy illuminates it, an instant thrill electrifies a million of nerves. Delirium infuses giant energy; volition com mands, and hundreds of muscles spring to exe cute. The news of a defeat killed Philip V.— One of the Popes died of an emotion, on seeing his pet monkey robed in pontificals and occupy ing the chair of state. Muley Moloch was car ried upon the field of battle in the last stages of incurable disease, who, upon seeing his army give way, leaped from the litter, rallied his Pmic-stricken troops, rolled back the tide of battle, shouted victory and died.
