All advertisements appear in both papers, ana are inserted at the usual rates._ GREAT MEETING OK MERCHANTS IN NEW YORK. _ At a meeting of the signers of the Memorial of Merchants and others* he! d_at the Merchant’s Exchange, February 11th, 1S34 On motion, Johnathan Goodhue, Esq. was chosen Chairman, and John P. Stagg, appoint ed Secretary. James G. King, Esq. from the Committee of Delegates, made the following report. The Delegation appointed by Signers of the Memorial of the Merchants, Traders, Dealers and others, of the city of New York, to Present the same to Congress, beg leave respectfully to report to their constituents* that- upon their ar rival in Washington, they waited on the Repre sentatives in Congress from this'city, and on the Senators from the State of New York, with a view of requesting their aid and co-operation in properly introducing to their respective houses the Memorial they had in charge. Believing it to be of primary importance, considering the unbelief expressed as to the existing commer cial distress, that the individual presenting such memorial should declare, in his place in Congress his full and implicit reliance upon the truth ot. its averment, and his perfect acquiesencein its conclusion, they proposed to Mr. O W. Law rence, who, from his large participation in the prosperity of New York, whose commercial in terests he was especially relied upon lor uphold ing to be their organ in the House Representa tatives in this design; however, your delegation regret to say, they were disappointed, as, alter time for consideration, Mr. Lawrence declined presenting the memorial in the manner proposed. The senior members of the city representation in Congress were noi requesicu u; a^, sentiments, frankly made known at the time, were totally at variance with those of the me morial which was also matter of serious regret to your delegation, inasmuch as these gentlemen were likewise intimately connected with the commercial classes, of the city of New ork. Your deputation,' thus situated, afforded a singular spectacle to the national legislature.— In presenting a memorial declaring, with a mod eration beyond all cavil, the existing state of commercial distress, and embodying the delib erate views of experienced and intelligent mer chants upon a subject of vital importance to them and to the nation, they were obliged to forego the services of the only mercantile men sent from the city to Congress; and were glad to find in the junior member of Congress from the city (Mr. Selden,) himself not connected with the mercantile class except by enlarged and liberal views a ready and efficient aid in the accomplishment of their wishes. While your delegation acknowledges at the hands of the other representatives from the city all pro per courtesies and civilities, they must award to Mr. Selden the highest praise for his manly and able cooperation which was not the less effective in Congress, as your delegation aver, from be ing made in despite of those consideration's, which were deemed paramount by his collea gues; and it is proper to add, that those collea gues thought it right to vote against such a re ference of the memorial as had been deliberately preferred by your delegation. By Mr. Wright, from this State, the memorial was presented in the Senate, in satisfactory terms, and considering that he had so recently promulgated such opposite opinions, your del egation desire to award him their thanks. °Your delegation also waited upon the Presi dent of the United States, by appointment, and was received with that courtesy for which he is distinguished, and in a long interview after ex plaining the actual state of commercial affairs in this city, and declaring in explicit but res pectful terms, as the result of the experience and best judgment of our commercial men, that a national bank was absolutely necessary for the proper regulation of paper currency as now established, and upon which the whole business of the country was based, they received from him the most decided assurances of the entirely opposite views, entertained by himself, and the most unqualified declarations, that in no event would he ever consent to restore the deposites or to recharter the bank of the United States; that he was determined to make the experiment of carrying on the fiscal concerns of the nation, through the State Banks, until the expiration of the U. S. Bank charter, and if the experiment failed, some scheme might be devised ol collect ing and depositing the revenue, without the in tervention of any monied institution. The President held out no expectation of the establishment at present, of any National Bank, but added, that he felt great sympathy for the _ i e 1 a. _ I>ew-1 01K. mercantile uistress, iui us mci cuama had honorably and punctually performed all their engagements to the Government, with un parallelled fidelity. Your delegation then waited upon the Vice President, but from official engagements he was at that time unable to hold any converse with them, upon the subject of their mission—but at another moment to a portion of your delega tion, the Vice President expressed similar views and determinations to those manifested by the President Your delegation had an interview with Mr. Taney, and derived from him a full confirmation of their conclusions resulting from what had passed during their visft to Washington. In conclusion, your delegation regret to say that it is their sincere conviction, that nothing is in tended to be done by the Government for the present, that no plan is under its consideration for the future, in respect to a National Bank: that the administration is determined not to re charter the present United States Bank under any possible modifications, nor to propose any new Bank, and instead thereof, to rely upon State Institutions, until hard money can be made to supersede the actual paper currency of the country. James G. King, Elbert G. Anderson, James Boorman, P. Perit, Charles H. Russell, Joseph Kernonkan, John A. Stevens, S. S. Howland, R. C. Cornell, G. S. Robbins, D. W. C. Olyphant, J. Crumby, James W. Otis, T. W. Gale. On motion of Samuel Ward, Esq., Resolved, That the Report be accepted and the Committee be discharged. On motion, it' was unanimously Resolved That the thanks of this meeting be dresented to the Delegates to Washington, for the able and faithful discharge of the duties con fided to them. On motion of Charles H. Russell, Esq., it was unanimously Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Hon. Dudley Selden, for the prompt manner in which he presented our Me morial, and for the ability with which he enforc ed its object; and that this expression of our feelings be conveyed to him by the Chairman and Secretary of this meeting. On motion of John A. Stevens, Esq., the fol lowing Resolutions were unanimously adopted1 1. Resolved, as the opinion of this meeting, That tfiere is energy, ability, integrity, and pio perty, sufficient in this community to carry it through the present unparalleled sufferings and impending evils, ultimately to safety and pros es*.1 Resolved, That the commercial communi ty in this crisis must rely for their preservation on their own energies, on mutual forbearance and assistance; and that this emeigency calls for a calmness, liberality and firmness, equal to its severity; and that on these means and through them, on the restoration, as far as practicable, of public confidence, this community must pow depend. 3. Resolved, That with a view to these ob jects, and to the importance ol combining mcr cantile influence and opinions for commercial tV not for party ends, and by the exercise of this influence, to amelioriate present distresses and to avert future evils, that a Union Committee ol twenty-five persons be now appointed, whose duty it shall be to confer with committees of the state and national banks, with a view to produce that entire concert and harmony of action, es- sential to enable them to afford the greatest pos sible relief to the community. 4. Resolved, That this committee be farther instructed to adopt immediate measures, by a union of the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade, or by such other measures as they may deem expedient, to constitute a gene ral organ of commercial sentiments and opi nions, in order, by concert and unanimity of ac tion, to secure to this great mercantile commu nity a just and proper influence. 5. Resolved, That the committee endeavor to procure from the state legislature, an expression more in accordance with the present opinions of a a. l 4.1_^ Ur orl AH fori IIS consiliucuis, UlttU uiuac icvviu.j it on the subject of the removal of the deposites, and of a National Bank. 6. Resolved, That this committee have pow er to appoint Delegates to proceed to Washing ton, Albany, and other cities, if thought advisa ble, to further the objects of their appointment, and generally to adopt such measures as may be deemed expedient in this crisis for the public good. The meeting then adjourned. JONATHAN GOODHUE, Chair’n. John P. Stagg, Sec’y. The report was listened to with deep atten tion. Where it describes the line of conduct pursued by Mr.- Dudley Selden, cheers, and great enthusiasm was evinced. Each allusion To Mr. Lawrence was followed by groans and hissess. That to Messrs. Cambreleng and White, by cries of shame! shame! Where the committee stated they had waited on the V ice-President, and official duties had prevented him meeting them, a pretty general laugh ensued; and at the mention of Mr. Taney’s name, oh! oh! oh! was cried out in various places. The proceedings in the great hall of the Ex change having terminated, the crowd of persons in the street who hod not been able to gain ad mittance there, called upon Philip Hone, Esq. to read from the portico in front of that building the report and resolutions we have given above. He complied with this request and they were received precisely in the same manner as they had been in the Hall. On concluding Mr. Hone observed that as it was necessary on subjects so important, no misunderstanding should ensue, he would ask them on their honors as men, and as American citizens loving their country in this hour of peril if they approved with all their hearts and soul this report and resolutions. Aye, aye, resounded from every side, and not a single dissenting voice was heard. Mr. Hone then took off his hat and said, “Three cheers for Dudley Selden.” Never did three louder or heartier cheers follow than those that then rang through Wall street.—Courier. The Committee appointed to proceed to Wash ington with the Memorial addressed to Con gress by the Merchants and other citizens of Baltimore, praying the restoration of the Depo sites, returned from the seat of Government last evening. We are informed that they they left the Memorial with Col. Chambers of the Senate, and Maj. Heath of the House of Rep resentatives. We are informed, also, that the Committee had interviews with the President and Secreta ry of the Treasury, and were authorized by both I to sav. that the measures adopted by the Execu tiva in TB^civd to thd IS (ink oj the Umltd Plaits icould be adhered to. It is true, that we needed no additional assu rance—but this, made to a deputation from our own city, the bearers of a memorial signed by more of our respectable and influential citizens than ever before affixed their names to a paper of this kind, may serve to render assurance doubly sure.”—Balt. Gaz. State of the Money Market— Since Saturday morning, Wall st. has been in a constant state of excitement. The failure on that day ol Messrs. A lien created a panic that has not been al layed. Yesterday a very extensive and highly re spectable Broker had to yield to the times. The general feeling seemed, however, to be embodi ed by the organization of a meeting, which was conducted with the greatest order, and a plan i of measures was adopted, which it is hoped, ill have the most salutary effects. The public will be gratified to hear that Messrs. Allen owe six hundred and sixty thousand dollars less than they did sixty days ago, and that their Branch at New Orleans had not suspended by the last ac counts—N. Y. Daily Adv. Another Explosion.—Another heavy crash in Wall street yesterday—the extensive house ol W. G. Bucknor Co.—added to the failure ol I several mercantile houses the day before, and three or four more yesterday—increased much prevailing consternation. The number ol failures that have already taken place in this citv, in consequence of the derangement of the currency by the Executive, is about FIFTY! In Boston, the pressure continues to be severe ly felt, and several heavy failures are reported. I The Hartford papers state that the Warehain nail manufactory, Mass., has stopped payment and assigned for the benefit of creditors. This I company annually manufactured about 700,000 casks of nails, amounting to $400,0°°. And yet the Executive and his irresponsible advisers are unmoved at the cries of distress which are sing upon every breeze.—N. i- \*om. In consequenceof thed^rangementof affairs, Mr. Bigelow, of Hartford, Connecticut, has dis charged nearly two hundred girls, who had been employed in making up clothes. Mr. Canfield, a printer, in Hartford, has dis charged twenty men from his establishment, but of twenty-six,--the whole number employed in it. The Test Oath.—The excitement on the sub ject of the Test Oath seems to be daily gather ing in the upper part of the State. From the proceedings of the Public Meetings, which we publish this morning, it will be seen that Ander son and Pickens have imbibed th* spirit, and followed the examble of Greenville and Spar tanburg, and that the tyranny of the Military Bill is likely to meet with j.the most determined resistance. A letter from Chester District, da ted the 2d inst. gives a similar account of popu lar feeling in that quarter. It says: You will shortly hear the expression ofithe Eastern Regi ment of this District, on the subject of the Test Oath, in the odious Military Bill, of the last ses sion of the Legislature—they meet on the 5th inst. to give an expression of their feelings and course of action; which will be a determination not to take the Oath, nor obey any officer that will take it. This determination will be sup ported with the rifles.” We earnestly hope that before the day of trial arrives, a remedy, at once constitutional and peaceful, will be found for this attempted interference with the freedom of opinion, and the rights of conscience. Charleston Cour. The Members of the two Houses of Congress assembled yesterday only to unite in paying the last earthly honors to the remains of their late associate, the Hon. Thomas T. Bouldin, of Va. The Funeral Ceremonies took place in the Hall of Representatives. Prayers were read, with due solemnity, by the Rev. Mr. Hatch, one of the Chaplains to Congress, and a very excellent discourse, suited to the occasion, was delivered, by the Rev. Mr. Stockton, the other Chaplain; after which, the two Houses, in procession, es corted the corpse to the Eastern burial ground.

WILLIAM VEITCH, Superintendent of Police. w. j. DUANE v*. THE PRESIDENT. To the Editor of the Philadelphia Gazette. Sir: The official paper of the President of the United States, doubtless upon his authority, and under his direction, has noticed two passages m my late letter to Governor Tazewell. If I did not consider the Executive alone responsible, I would disdain to notice any thing proceeding from the polluted receptacle of his vindictive de nunciations. It was at first my inclination, to notice, at the same time, both of the articles in th£ official pa per of the 7th instant. I will, however, refer to only one of them now. I may consider the other The President has not denied what I did say, in my letter to Gov. Tazewell, that he gave me an assurance that I should have the mission to Russia; But he has denied, what I did not say, that he proposed to give the mission to Russia as the price of my resignation as Secretary of the Treasury. The President has not denied, that, whilst I was Secretary of the Treasury, he assured me I should have the mission to Russia; But he has denied, that, at any one or two periods, fixed by himself, he proposed to give me the mission as the price of resignation. I desire to leave no doubt upon this subject, and therefore repeat, what I said in my letter to Governor Tazewell, in such terms as shall not warrant prevarication: 1. I aver, that the President did assure me, that I should have the mission to Russia. 2. I aver that, unless the President violated his word, I should have had the mission, if I had resigned. The question, therefore, which I ask the Pre sident to cause to be answered, is, whether he did or did not assure me, that I should have the mission to Russia? As to his motives, he may explain them if he pleases; and if he can per suade others that they were not sinister, I shall be content. If he shall deny that I had his spontaneous assurance of the mission, I will submit such evi dence of the fact as will satisfy the minds of all dispassionate men. The silence of his author ized organ, I shall consider his admission that I had his assurance of the appointment to Rus sia. Respectfully, your obedient servant, February 11. 1834. W. J. DUANE. The proceedings published below, in refe rence to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, afford another conclusive evidence that any adverse feeling which may have been created by the collisions formerly existing between that and our own great work, has been entirely dispel led, and that there is an earnest wish on the part of this community to see the Canal com pleted to the Coal regions of Cumberland at the earliest possible day .—Bait, jlmer. CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL. At a meeting of a number of citizens of Bal timore, held Feb. 11, 1834, Alexander Brown, Esq. was called to the Chair, and John H. B. Lathobe appointed Secretary. The Chairman stated that the meeting had been called in consequence of the applications now making to Congress and the Legislature of j I Maryland, for funds to complete the Chesapeake 1 and Ohio Canal to the Coal mines. David Shrivel', Esq. who was present from Cumber land. stated that he had been deputed by a meet ing of the citizens of Alleghany County, to pro cure aid and co-operation in the application now making by the Chesapeake and Ohio Ca nal Company to Congress and the State Legis l lature, for assistance. He further explained the views of the citizens of the upper counties of Maryland, after* which, on motion, it was 1. Resolved, That this meeting regards with great interest the measures now taking before Congress and the Legislature of Maryland, to obtain aid to complete the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to the Coal region in the neighborhood of Cumberland in Alleghany county. 2. Resolved, That the speedy completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to Cumberland cannot fail to be productive of the most impor tant benefit to the City of Baltimore, as well as to Maryland generally, and that, running for so great a distance as it does through the State, and connected by means of rail roads, with her commercial Emporium, it is deemed by this meeting worthy of every encouragement on the part of the Legislature. 3. Resolved, That the connection between the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, which will take place at j the Point of Rocks, Harper’s Ferry, and the j City of Washington, will, in the opinion of this meeting, be productive of material benefit to I both works; and this meeting views with great' satisfaction the amicable relations now existing between the two companies, whose only contest should be which can effect the greatest good to the community. 4. Resolved, 1 hat the proceedings of this meet ing be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in the papers of the city. ALEXANDER BROWN, Chair’n. Jno. H. B. Latbobe, Sec’y 100 DOLLARS REWARD. ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks- j burg and my plantation, in the upper end i of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE, on which he was riding, both belonging t0* 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 of the Mare, 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 markably white 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 be much less sagacious than he really is. His name is Jack. His dress w as a blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under clothing drab cloth. The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any spot of white about her, unless perhaps there may be some few white hairs in the centre of the forehead, not covering more than the size of a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is recollected, going on seven years of age; is re markably long in her body; has along 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 wTas made a year or two ago to cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in the proportion of four and two for therecovery of either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

The Captain Hall, whose assassination at Be gota has been mentioned in the papers, is no Capt. Basil Hall, as has been stated. The Ba! timore Gazette says: The individual mentioned in the intelligent from South America, was a Colonel FrancL Hall, formerly an officer in the British army' and the author of a tour through Canada anc the United States, which was w ritten in (juilr liberal and gentlemanly spirit. He afterward' entered into the service of the Republic of c’ lombia, and published a tract concerning tin; country, dedicated to his friend Jeremy Ben! tham, which comprises much interesting info mation in a small compass. The deati/of sil Hall—“ famed for sundry libels upon fh country and its institutions”—is yet to be chn> nicled; and wre have Christian feeling enourf left for him to hope that he will live to see pi errors of his ways. Quebec papers of the 3d inst. announce tha the House of Assembly are to be presented, o: the 15th instant, with Articles of Impeach against the Governor, Lord Aylmer. The Kingston, Jamaica, Despatch, of the P; ult., says: We are happy to state that all oi accounts from the country are of a most plea sing and satisfactory nature. The negroes u working with the greatest cheerfulness, and no thing but concord and hilarity prevail. A Russian Project.—It is said that the Er peror of Russia intends to open a direct com munication between Moscow and the frontier of China, by means of Diligences, and thus open a connection between civilized Europe and the “Celestial Empire.” Great efforts are making in New York to in duce the Deposite Banks in that city to recede from thpi r anTPpmpnts with thp Sprepfim- nf tl c ----J W.V Treasury. A writer in the Courier and Enqui rer suggests that a meeting be held at the Ex change for the purpose of appointing a com mittee to wait on the Banks in question and ask them to give up the deposites. It is stated in a New York paper, upon the au thority of a letter from Washington, that Mr. McLane, the Secretary of State, has sent in his resignation to the President. A public meeting has been held in England t on the stage to-morrow night. J. B. Booth r-' o [communicated.] CODE OF LAWS FOR TI1E DISTRICT Mr. Snowden—In the abstract from this Co published on the 7th instant, it appears that t present Circuit Court is to be abolished, and 3 Court, to be called the superior Court, for eaC Coun.ty, to be held by one of the Judges of t^' Circuit Court, to be substituted; and a Court o Appeals is to be created, to be held by the thre' Judges of the Circuit Court, in the City of Wash ington alone. To this arrangement there also serious objections. The present Circuit Court was created by of Congress of February 27th, 1801, which ha' continued to the present time, without alterat v or amendment. This Court has been found, a* ter long experience, to answer all our purp°se&' Justice has been duly administered under it, alu_ with as little delay as could have been exp^cte in the ordinary course of Court business. ry man in the community is well acquainted the manner of doing business in this Court, a1 is enabled to calculate, with some degree ofL'1 tainty, as to the termination of any suit he have before it; and so entirely satisfied with are the whole District, that, amongst the vari"1^ propositions made, from time to time, to a111 the laws of the District, no one has ever pr°iu1 ed to abolish it, or to make any alterations'1 organization, except in the single instance, 1 of transferring its Chancery jurisdiction 1°a? parate Chancery Court, and which arose, is believed, -more from a desire to create o 1 than from any defectin the present system-^ It will be found, too, that the late Mr. I

Page 3

formerly Chairman of the Committee on the Dis trict, in the House of Representatives, who de voted a very large portion of his time to ascer tain the state of the law ip the District, and the wishes of the people on thi3 subject, aftei hav ing, with great labor, collected a large mass of information, as well as the opinions of many lawyers and others, which is embodied in his Report, reported a bill, not to abolish this Court, but to extend its usefulness, by empowering the Judges to act singly in certain cases, and to hold special sessions. And in no instance has a Court of Appeals, to be held in the City of Washing ton alone, as provided by the Code, ever been suggested; nor is it perceived what possible be nefit such, a Court can be to the people of the District. The present Circuit Court is as competent to decide any question of law that may be brought before it here as it would be in Washington.— Why, then, should the people of this county be put to the expense and trouble of attending an Appeal Court in Washington? W hy should they be at the trouble and expense of a trial be fore a single Judge here, and then the trial of the same cause before the three Judges in ashing ton, when they can now have the benefit of the trial of the same three Judges in the first in stance, and thereby save the expense and trou ble of one suit? There can be no sufficient rea son for it, in any view I can take of the subject. If a suit is brought before the Circuit Court for $101 and finally settled, the costs will be about $20. If a suit is brought, under the new Code, before the Superior Court for $101, the costs will be the same, $20; and if an appeal is taken to the Court of Appeals in Washington, there will be an additional expense of a copy of the record, lawyer’s fees, and other expenses, to at least $10 more, besides the trouble and inconvenience of neglecting your business to attend the Court in Washington, and that, too, i i _1__I_...111 u» WilIlUlIl UtTIUg auicr lu LaRUiaic ucii n mm uc finally settled. Now, I humbly conceive this ought not to be;—the people are most oppress* ively burthened with taxes already, and they ought not to have this additional burthen thrown upon them. And as it regards the Orphan’s Court, what can be more oppressive than to compel a party who may be dissatisfied with any judgment, de cree, or order of the Judge of the Orphan’s Court,—no matter how small the amount in volved,—to appeal to the Appeal Court in Wash ington for redress? What will become of the estates of deceased persons if they are to be sad dled with expenses of this sort? But there is another objection; according to existing law:—we have an appeal from the Cir cuit to th? Supreme Court of the United States in all cases over $1000; now, by the new Code^ the benefit of appeal to the Supreme Court is taken aw ay in all cases under $2000. I need scarcely say this w’ould be a great loss. I trust, then, that the Circuit Court system will not be touched—and the propriety of this will be more apparent when we reflect, that if an Inferior Court is established, it will take more than one-half of its present business from j the Circuit Court.

SHEPHERD’S patent specific OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS. near Frederick■ r town, Maryland. Richmond. Va. July 15, 1810. THK public will be pleased to understand that I was the original discoverer of Judkins’ Ointment, ami sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same; but, having connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. N- SUEPHERD. Imposition having been practised upon the nub- I lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself ot the authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name, Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. 1 concluded 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 ne vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated, si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted- Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate.diseases, some of which have so long baffled the Sicib of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose 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 ofthe joints; 6th Snrains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa tient. in applying the ointment, must keep the part outof water; 8th Chilblains or parts affected bv 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 swcl lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the m ;dical faculty i 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 r called white swelling, riven over by the most iisiinguished physicians as in curable. and which they decided would, withoutainpu nation, prove tutalto the patient, was, under .oy imme diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins* Ointment, *nd the patient is m fine health His limb affected by tne tumor oeing restored to a perfect-.late of sound ness. Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the toot, and which, for more than tw»* years, nad been considered incurable, was ef fectually cured oy the application of Ju ikins’ oint ment. I mention these two cases, which tell under my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the etficacv of this remedy in cases of tumor and of ulcers; I nave expo lenced, a3 decidedly, ihe good fleet ofthis remedy in the cure of Felons, and of very species of fresh wound.

Dear Sib—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most everv description of disease, and believe they sa ved many a long doctor's bill by their early and timelv use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New Yorlc newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRIT TEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact Finding those l had without this test, 1 be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature. I found many without this test, but none with it, until 1 came to the Messrs Keerls*, who assured me they had them direct from you. 1 procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced- and am so much rejoiced on finding my 9effin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information.

My case wss as follows: Whilst returning from Washington to Alex andria, I was taken very ill, which obliged me, on my arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not sleep, and the next day my throat became so much inflamed, that I could scarcely swallow; and iny face, breas».and body, presented evident symptoms of the great dan ger l was in, and I knew not what to do; Calomel Mercury I abhorred as poison, and therefore desire, no assistance from the Druggist; but my motuer, v... had experienced th« good effect of the Hygeian Pil in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advisee me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, I con- sented to, and commenced by taking eight No lp at night, and eight No 2 the next morning, and ccr- tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening, j until I took sixteen No. 2 at a t ime, which were dis solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, 1 cou-d not otherwise swallow them. 1 confess the dose rr- t me feel somewhat qualmish, fcte but the pills and t f I powders, of which I took one or two tea-spoonsfu l j day, operated well, and the final result was, that i »t! into a sound sleep, of which I had been deprived, the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration,fret, from fever, cooi and comfortable, and mv rea-on 1 had been deranged in mind) returned; and on t 9th day from the time was first taken, I left my ror and have ever since enjoyed better health than I c b.efore.
