Butler, Attorney General of the United States, thus addressed the Court: Your Honors are probably aware that the same sad event which yesterday occasioned the untimely adjournment of the Court, was imme diately followed by a special meeting of the Bar. I have been charged by that meeting, with the duty of bringing its proceedings to the no- j tice of the Court, and with your permission will now read them.” (Mr. Chief Justice assenting, the Attorney General then read the proceedings, and thus resumed.) The Court will have perceived, from the pa per which has been read, that the duty of com memorating, in a formal discourse, the^ profes sional character and virtues of Mr. Wirt, has been specially assigned to a distinguished mem ber of this bar. Were it not for this becoming and appropriate arrangement, I might be tempt ed to give utterance to my high admiration of the talents, attainments, and virtues of our illus trious brother, and to the sorrow with which, in common with every other member of the bar, I mourn over his removal from this scene of his usefulness and fame. Such an attempt, howe ver, would be an indelicate, if not an improper _ _ 1. ft mu/mti nrvtir Ko CiU/ivia^iiiu^in upvit i* pi v w «*vv oiv** longs exclusivefy to another. And it therefore only remains that I should ask, in the name of the assembled bar-and in reference to such a man as William Wirt, I feel that I may add —in the name of the whole legal profession of our extended country—that this humble tribute to ability and worth—this feint but sincere ex pression of deep regret—be incorporated in the records of this Court.” To which Mr. Chief Justice Marshall thus re plied— The Court received intelligence of the af flicting event which has produced the meet ing of the Bar, and the application just made, with those emotions it was but too well calcula ted to excite. I am sure I utter the sentiment of all my brethren, when I say we participate sincerely in the feelings expressed from the Bar. We too, gentlemen, have sustained a loss it will be difficult, if not impossible, to repair.— In performing the arduous duties assigned to us we have been long aided by the diligent re search and lucid reasoning of him whose loss we unite with you in deploring. We too, gen tlemen, in common with you, have lost the esti mable friend in the powerful advocate. Most readily do we assent to the motion which has been made.” Whereupon, the said proceedings were spread upon the records of the Court, together with the following entry: It having been announced that Mr. William Wirt, a gentleman of this Bar, highly distin guished for his learning and talents, departed this life yesterday in this city— Resolved, That the Judges of this Court will wear the usual badge of mourning daring the residue ofthe term, in token of their respect and regard for the memory of the deceased, and j of their deep sense of this afflictinsr event.” Pressure in New Orleans.—An intelligent merchant in New Orleans, commenting upon Mr. Benton’s remarks, that there was no real pressure for money in the trading community of that citv, in a letter to a member of Congress, says as follows:— The following failures have taken place; within the last ten days: Cotton Commission House $300,000 I>o. do. 100,000 Grocers 140,000 Grocer 100,000 Shipping House 120,000 $1,200,000 ‘‘One million, two hundred and six thousand dollars! Ail these houses were heretofore consid ered safe, and their paper discounted general ly in all the banks; and it is believed they will ultimately pay every dollar they owe, but the pressure is so great in consequence of the re moval of tlie deposites, that it is impossible for the banks to grant the useful facilities, without endangering their own existence; and it is the general opinion of this community, that unless someihingis shortly done to relieve the people in this city, that many other houses will be com pelled to suspend payment. All kinds of trade is at a stand, there are no sales ol real property, slaves, cotton, sugar, to bacco or any other article, and all the shipping lying idle at the Levee; indeed it is almost as gloomy as the Jeffersonian embargo. Good notes are discounted out of doors at 1 3-4 and 2 per cent, per month, and no certainty of obtain ing mor*'v from day to day at this exhorbitant interest. *—Telegraph. The reports of Mr. McLane’s resignation, or removal from the cabinet, are coming to us form various quarters. Mr. Me Lane arrived at New Castle on Friday, for the purpose of advis ing with his counsel relative to a suit in which he is a party, pending in the Court of Chancery, now in session at that place. We are informed, that in reply to a question put to him on the sub ject, he stated that he had not yet resigned.— He left New Castle for Washington yesterday. Delaware Jour. In referring to the close vote in the House of Representatives, when Mr. Burges, Mr. McDuf fie, and others, were absent, the correspondent of the Portland Advertiser mentions one fact so creditable to the industry and attention of Ex President Adams, that it deserves public men tion. He gave a dinner party on that day.— The hour appointed was 5 P. M. Congress held on to 6 P. M. Nevertheless he kept his place— left his guests to take care of themselves—and gave his vote. I his is an example worthy of imitation by all the members. Nothin*? but ill N health can excuse the absence of a Represen tative in Congress in these important times.— Mr. Adams is ever in his place, and ever gives h:>s vote while there are too many younger members strolling every where, and neglecting the interests of their constituents.* m SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Wilkins finished, at last, his speech on Wednesday—after he concluded, Mr. Tyler moved that the Senate adjourn, but withdrew his motion at the request of Mr. Clay, who, with a view to facilitate the transaction of business, and the economy of time, desired to make a proposition to the Sen ate. Like the currency of the country, he said, the business of the Senate had become a good deal deranged; and he presumed that the Chair would be as much gratified by the removal of the deposites on his table as the President was when he removed the deposites from the United States Bank. There were also several memori als to be presented, of which he had some. There was Executive business unfinished, and it was r also probable that sundry members would be desirous to pay respect to the memory of a dis i tinguished citizen, by attending his Iuneral at noon to-morrow. Under all these circumstan ces, he moved to postpone this subject until Monday next, and to make it the special order for that day. Mr. Tyler concurred in the motion, stating that his health was not in a good state, and that he should be gratified to have the residue ol the week to repair it. Mr. Chambers suggested, that when this sub ject was removed out of the way, the French spoliations bill would be the next special order, and would take precedence of other business, unless that also was postponed. Mr. Manggm moved to postpone that subject also, and to make it the special order for Mon day week. Mr. Chambers assented, but gave notice that he should, on that day, move to postpone any other business which might obstruct the taking up of that bill. The motion was then agreed to. On motion of Mr. Calhoun, the bill to repeal the force act was postponed until Monday fort night, and made the special order for that day. LETTERS FROM Mr. RANDOLPH. The Publishers at Philadelphia, (Messrs. Ca rey, Lea Blanchard,) will publish in a few days, in one vol. 8vo., price to subscribers §1 75, “Letters of John Randolph, of Roanoke, to a young Relative, embracing a series of years, from early youth to mature manhood.” The following Preface and Extracts of Letters are published as giving some evidence of the cha racter of the W ork: Preface to Randolph’s Letters.—The fol lowing letters have been selected from among several hundred, as most fit for publication. The sentiment of filial devotion towards the author, which, for many years, constituted a large portion of my moral existence, together with the want of critical acumen, may so far mislead the judgment, as to make me overrate the merit of these letters. Be that as it may, I shall make no apology for giving them to the public; neither have they any right to require, nor shall they receive, any explanation of the motives, that may be personal to myself, in ma king the publication. Suffice it to say, that, I think, they will do credit to American literature; and add some thing to the fame of a man, who long held a distinguished rank among American orators and statesmen; and whose genius has added not a little to his country’s glory. (Extract of a Letter dated January 31, 1806.) “I send you by the New Orleans mail, ‘Let ters written by the great Mr. Pitt, afterwards Earl of Chatham, to his Nephew, when at Col lege.’ You know my opinion of Lord Chatham; that he was at once the greatest practical states man that ever lived, and the most transcendant orator. With all this, he was a truly pood man, (indeed, he must hare been, since virtue is esse?i~ tial to great excellence in laudable pursuits,) and the most elegant and polished gentleman of Lie time* n (Extract of a letter, dated December 21, 1S19.) “Here t find myself iVo/e, almost as entirely as at Roanoke—for the quiet of which (the last paragraph, ?o the contrary, notwithstanding,) 1 have sometimes panted; or, rather, to escape from the scene around me. Once the object of proscription, I am become one of indifference to all around me; and, in this respect, I am, in no wise, worse off than the rest—for, from all that I can see and learn, there are no two per sons here that care a single straw for one ano- j ther. My reception is best by the old Jacobins I enrages—next, by the federalists, who have ab- 1 jured their heresies, and reconciled themselves to the true Catholic church—worst of all, by the I old minority men, white-washed into courtiers.” (Extract of a Letter, dated January 21, 1S23.) I i “For, after a certain time of life, the literary 1 man may make a shift (a poor one, I grant) to do without the society of ladies. To a young man, nothing is so important as a spirit of de votion (next to his Creator) to some virtuous and amiable woman, whose image may occupy his heart, and guard it from the pollution which j besets it on all sides. Nevertheless, I trust that j your fondness for the company of ladies, may not rob you of the time which ought to be de j voted to reading and meditating on your pro fession; and, above all that it may not acquire for you the reputation of Danglei—in itself bor dering on the contemptible, and seriously detri mental to your professional character.

WHITE. JOB PRINTING neatly executed at this office AT-RXANPRIA: FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 21, 1834. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. We have amused ourselves in endeavoring to imagine the outcry that would have been raised, had the present condition of the Post Of fice Department occurred during the time that Mr. John Quincy Adams was President of the United States. There would have been the horror-stricken Richmond Enquirer—the amaz ed and confounded Eastern Argus—the indig nant press throughout the whole country, mak ing a clamor sufficient to disturb almost the ash es of the dead. We should never have heard the last of it. Double-distilled abuse—concen trated calumny—torrents of the strongest invec tives, would have been poured upon the head of the already abused, calumniated, and denounc ed Adams; and we should have had him and his Cabinet perhaps hung in effigy, certainly gibbetted in the newspapers. But, as the so phomore writes, tempora mutantur et nos, &c. Truly, truly it is so. We live in another day, and other men rule over us. Those who then would have made the hills echo with their de nunciations of profligacy, inattention or cor ruption,—are now as still as death: their voices are mute: we hear not even a murmur of dis content, or a whisper of uneasiness. And what is the actual condition of the case? Why! we do not know all: the veil of secresy hangs, as yet, over the dark transactions of the n^nnrtmpnt!—hut wp know enough to show US that an important branch of the government, one in the well conducting of which every citi zen is directly interested, is disordered, disar ranged, bankrupt—in debt to contractors—in debt to individuals—in debt to banks; that it is supported by loans and indulgences; that its books show a miserable system of holding up contingencies to make up for failures of contracts and other expenditures; that it is enfeebled, and in some instances paralysed; that the gublic do not repose confidence in it; and, finally, that un less something is done to restore its energies and its usefulness, it will cease to be any thing else but a miserable government machine, made use of for party purposes alone, without vigor, stability, or disposition to further the ends and wishes of the public. Now, we put it to every man, who has eyes to see and ears to hear, if this is not a correct statement of the present condition of the Post Office Department. Doubtless vigorous efforts are now making to bring things straight, and we sincerely hope these efforts will prove whol ly successful. But, as they actually now stand and exist, there can be no doubt but that they are just as we have here represented them to be. We unhesitatingly say, that such a state of things would have covered the last Administra tion with disgrace and ignomy: it would have added thousands to that triumphant majority which hurled them from office, and lessened the regrets of those who witnessed with pain the change that was then made in the Administra tion of the Government. And why should it be otherwise now? Why should the wretched ex cuses and subterfuges and explanations of those interested, succeed in shutting the eyes of the people to the notorious fact, that, through pro fligacy, ignorance, or incompetency, the Post Office Department is Bankrupt? I he reason is obvious. Power covers with its broad shield the guilty—and they are safe. Power throws its protecting a3gis around corruption or Incom petency—and they repose without fear or mo lestation. The people have learned to respect power, to fear power, to reverence power.— Those in high places can now do what once they dared not do. The jealousies of the peo ple are lulled to sleep, and power, stealthily but firmly, makes its strides to absolute and unli mited command. Let it be remembered, that in thus arraigning the Post Office Department before the bar of the public, and demanding its trial and condemna tion, we make no personal charges againt those engaged under its head in its management and j control. Many of these, we know, are faithful competent officers: the Chief Clerk, we believe, is a highly valuable one. We speak generally of the Department, and the mode and manner in which its affairs have been ordered to be con ducted,—a mode which has resulted in their dis order—a manner which has ended in their en tire disorganization. RETROSPECTIONS. Olim meminisse.”—Yir il. Mr. Flint, in one of the numbers of the Knick erbocker, gives an interesting account of an in terview he had recently with the remnant of his College Class, at the house of his friend, Chief j Justice S., in Boston. Upwards of thirty years had elapsed since some of them had met. In that long interval, says Mr. Flint, the king of the scythe and hour glass had scathed our number with a deadlier mortality than the issue of the severest battle. Some of the survivors j were in distant climes, and most of them widely severed from each other.” “How changed,”; he adds, from the union of the chapel and the recitation room, where we were altogether in the frolick freshness and sanguine inexperience of boyhood, before as yet a single passage of life had been disenchanted.” With the same feelings did we take up, and with almost the same exclamation the other day put down, a text-book we used at college^ on one of the blank leaves of which we had formerly, in an idle moment, scribbled the names of our class-mates. There was the roll, the dif ferent names bringing to mind the images and the characters of those with whom we passed some of the happiest hours of our existence—cal ling up the long-treasured frolics and witti cisms, the reckless cheeriness of heart, the plans and dreams of youth;” but the pleasant compa nions themselves—the friends of our youth— where are they? and alas! to us, echo answers, where are they? Though but a few brief years have elapsed since that list was written, how many of these brave young hearts” have been stricken down by the hand of death? Several we know. And these, too, the gayest of the gay —high-souled, spirited—then full of life and health. Little did we think ever to mourn over their loss. And how many of those who still live are scattered over this broad expanse of coun try, and how various their occupations and pur* suits! Most of them, by far the greatest part, placed in situations which probably will prevent us from ever seeing them again. Reflections such as these will steal on the mind in spite of the progress of time and the changes of circumstances. They often come up unbid den, like perturbed spirits; but, unlike these, they never appear to frighten the imagination or disturb the feelings. The memory of joys that are past is mournful but pleasant to the soul.’ It brings that soothing melancholy which has in it as much of sweetness as of bitterness. We would not, if we could, divest ourselves of what seems to us so natural and so reasonable. And if these few lines should meet the eyes ol any of the survivors of that little band whose hey dey of life was passed so pleasantly together, may it awaken in them the same thoughts and feelings—thoughts of youthful friendship and feelings of unalterable attachment—which now fill the breast of him who pens them. POLITICIANS. There were “scurvy politicians” in Shak speare’s time, who were advised to get “glass eyes,”—which, we take it, were nothing more nor less than a pair of Glorification specta cles,” lately revived and brought into use by a famous magician of the present day, and de scribed at length by one Maj. Jack Downing, a writer of great credit and repute. It is our mis fortune to live at a period when scurvy politi cians,” with these glass eyes,” are very com mon-—indeed so much so, as to constitute a dis tinct class or order of people. They are the men so well described at a dash of the pen, some years since, by a gentleman, now a member of Congress, who, writing of himself to a friend, acknowledged that he was a man of principle in proportion to his interest”: in other words, that he always went for the spoils. These men make politics a trade, or rather a game, and play at loo or brasr just as it suits their purposes: they try for high and the game; but, failing in that, they will take /oir, Jack. Now, it would be well if this whole class could be all so marked as to be known at a glance and thus avoided. It is generally believed that they wear collars, closely rivetted to their necks; but these un seemly and apparently unnecessary appendages can be easily concealed, at least for a season. Hence they sometimes pass for flaming patriots, and almost always have their mouths full of words for the dear people.” It is always found in the end, however, that their patriotism dege nerates into a desire for office, and the dear people” are only used as a cheap means to get a fat place. RESPECT TO THE GOVERNMENT. We noticed, in our report of the proceedings of Congress on Wednesday, in yesterday’s Ga zette, the presentation of two memorials from different parts of Pennsylvania, on opposite sides of the Deposite Question, containing high ly exceptionable language, both to the Senate and the Vice President. This language was condemned by many Senators as disrespectful and insulting; and so strong was the feeling ex cited, that the memorials were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. King said: He objected not to receive any petitions which were couched in decent and respectful expres sions. It was proper that such should be receiv ed. The ears of the Senate ought to be open to the voice of the people. But when they were suffered to approach this body with the lan guage of abuse and calumny, the Senate would speedily retain no other character than that of a body through which electioneering, denuncia tory pamphlets, might be sent abroad, the effect of which would be to unsettle the tranquility of the country. Mr. King then moved that the petitions should not be received. Mr. Calhoun. I second the motion. Mr. Forsyth said: He wrould admit that the memorials presented are in very bad taste. He was sorry to see such language coming from any portion of the peo ple of the United States; but still the Senate was bound to receive these sentiments. Let them emanate from their political friends or enemies, it was perfectly unimportant. He hoped the honorable gentleman from Alabama w'ould not press his motion, but suffer the petitions to lie on the table. Mr. Sprague said: The right ofpetition was not a mere matter of form; but the people had a perfect right, as the sovereign, to use their own language, and the Senate were bound to listen to that language. The expressions in the first of these memorials wrere certainly most disrespectful to the Senate; they called this body an aristocratic Senate. The Senate could not prevent such expressions of public opinion, by closing their ears against them; and if the people, in any quarter, had been taught to viewr the Senate as an aristocratic bo- 1 dy, destined to be fatal to the liberties of the country, let the Senate listen to their voice. This was not the first time that the Senate had been struck at. It was not the first time that they j had been told that the Senate w'as to be pros- trated. They could not ward off the blow by re-! fusing to listen to such language. He w’ould therefore, receive the petitions. Mr. Mangum said: There was one view* of this case w’hich de served to be noticed. He believed that, in every civilized country in Christendom, the Court lan-: guage is considered as the standard of nUr, and has a tendency to regulate the style of SOc:i. etv. And he intimated that the language off. memorials, takingthis view of the subject, hum be regarded as having reached the highest do. gree of perfection. He did not desire the i», it ing of the memorials, but he thought that th ought to be received. Mr. Bibb observed: That it was the duty of those who petitione for a redress of grievances to couch their n,V morials in respectful language. Ft was a coin pointed out by a proper regard to their w* dignity, and was a respect due to Congrt*» He admitted that the people were entitled to tip right of petition and remonstrance, but he r.-nV say that they had no right to abuse thLbodvb 1 using degrading and disgraceful language [ an nr; cratic body. Were they censurable for th s b guage? Were not the Senate themselves a countable for this language of the citizens Erie? The Senate had been told on a form* occasion, that the censure of the Senate ha long ceased to be a reproach to any man. H; they not listened to that language here, with, their own walls? And should they now cen«;i. the people of Erie for giving back disrespect!!; language? The Senate ought to begin here, begin at home to treat their own members respect; to be cautious in the application of phi ses,and not adopt coarse language to every me: ber of the same body who might happen to fer from themselves in opinion. Let the Sena, treat their own body with respect, they will the., be able to command the respect of others. Wh; could be more natural than that which now hi» occurred? W'hen the people of Erie had seen stated that a Senator in his place had told t: Senate that the rejection ot an individual fc> that body had long ceased to be considered a censure, what could be more natural than t:.. this remote people should send back to the s nate their own language? But this was not without precedent. It would h. within the recollection of every gentleman t: i a petition had been received by this body.thi m the Chief Magistrate himself, in which the Sen ate was charged, with a violation of the const tion, in reference to its action on the nominat. of an individual for a public office. That pr tion came here under the sanction of the Magistrate, charging the Senate with a corn;;’ violation of the constitution at the monies j when he had renominated a rejected Candida’ for office. Under these circumstances, then. I could excuse (he mistake which had be* n mitted by the citizens of Erie. There can be no question but that, in a. i proaching any of the departments of Cover; ment, proper respect and decorum should b observed. We agree with Mr. Mangum an xMr. Poindexter, however, that much of i i abuse that shocks our ears daily may be at:. 1 bated to the Court language.

We find in the Gazette de France of 16th De cember the following annunciation of the death 0f Bishop Duborg, formerly the Catholic Bishop 0f New Orleans: The Archbishop of Besancon, that virtuous elate and admirable model of 'Charity and to leration, died in that city on the 12th inst. The \bbe Guillaume Dubourg was born in St. Do incro, 14th February, 1766. In 1815, he was consecrated, at Rome, Bishop of New Orleans. t 1826. he was made Bishop of Montauban; and on the 15th of February, 1833, was elevated to the metropolitan see of Besancon. The New York American oi luesaay iasi says: “The comparative elasticity of spirits, which our Commercial Community exhibits since the „reat meeting of Tuesday last, and the appoint ment of the Union Committee, is an indication, which, independently of the immediate and positive good it produces is to be hailed as of Irreat promise for the future. “The Banks of the city held a meeting last evening with a portion of the Union Committee. The Branch Bank was not represented—hav ing declined, from consideration of the peculiar position of the United States Bank in regard to the government—from taking part in any such deliberations. We do not understand that any measures were matured at this time.” Sew Jersey Temperance. Convention.—A con vention of delegates consisting of about one hundred and fifty members, from various parts of the State of New Jersey, assembled at Tren ton, on Thursday last, to act in concert against the common enemy of public and private hap pines and prosperity.’ A Scene in the Senate.—Our Washington Cor respondent alluded some days ago to a recent occurrence in the Senate between Messrs. Web ster and Wilkins. Other accounts and vari ous versions have been given of it from differ ent quarters, but we have seen none so graphic as the following, from the pen of the correspon dent of the Portland Advertiser: Washington, Thursday, Feb. 16, 1834. I came to the conclusion this morning, that nothing of interest would raise in either House of Congress to-day—for Mr. Wilkins is not re markable as an orator or a thinker—but we had a scene, which was interesting and exciting enough. Mr. Wilkins’ head is not so clear as it might be, though he is a fluent and not unplea sant speaker—and in some of his allusions he quoted some harsh phrase which he attributed to the gentleman from Massachusetts. Webster was engaged writing, but, hearing “Massachusetts,” pricked up his ears, and ask ed his neighbors what Mr. Wilkins had said. They told him, and when Mr. Wilkins had de scended from the nighty period in wmcn ne was soaring, Webster exclaimed interrogatively, in a low tone, the gentleman from Massachu setts?” “Yes, the gentleman from Massachu setts,” reiterated .ilkins: whereupon Webster’s face began to lengthen, and his cloudy brow to lower. You are mistaken, sir, I did not make use of any such words,” was the reply. 1 noted it down at the time,” was the retort of Wilkins. “I cannot help it,” replied Webster, “the words are not mine.” Wilkins persisted. Web ster disclaimed, whereupon a scene arose, and a verbal scuffle, and the combatants grew an gry. Webster looked like a thundercloud, and il kins as mad as a bull dog. Wilkins held on, and Webster called him to order. In the midst of this, Wilkins quoted from Southard, and Southard said he “had never said any such thing” -whereupon the Senate and spectators all laughed outright, all but Webster and Wilkins, who went at it again, and were coming to an angrier issue,—and the ladies of course were threatening to faint, when Mr. Clay volunteered bis service as a pacificator, and he came in with his soft oily voice, and with a face full of smiles, hushed the storm—calmed the waves and brought Wilkins to a disclaimer in part, with *hich Mr. Webster was satisfied. This over he left his own seat, went into the area, and advanced toward Wilkin’s seat, and in a voice quite audible, pleasantly said, Wil kins, if you want to draw upon any of the Se nate for harsh phrases, draw* upon me: I’ll ho nor the draft.” Wilkins of course was amused itli this: good temper was restored. Wilkins 'vent on with his speech, and Webster with his letter._ 1 d .Vo. 1.”—This phrase, which is now pro verbially applied, is derived from the manner of ^jassifying merchant ships at Lloyd’s Coffee house in London.

A check for $1000, from Philadelphia, payable to the order of a mer cantile house, was expected on the 4th inst. but not having been received, inquiry was made, which resulted in the information that it was du ly sent. One of the partners called at the bank on which it was drawn on Saturday last, and found that it had been presented and paid on the 5th, having on it the forged endorsement of I the firm. Another draft in favor of the same house, for $2000, payable at twenty days sight, is also missing. Since then it is found out that other merchants have been defrauded in the same way. The letters containing these drafts i have been taken from the Post Office, either here or elsewhere, in the names of the merchants to whom they were addressed, doubtless by some accomplished rogue.—A'.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my plantation, in the tipper 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 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 1 ches high: has a drawling manner of talking, and appears to He much iess 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 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 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 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 the recovery of either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

Henceforth it. will be knownT>y the name of I SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC 01 NT- MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good efleets, I srtnt 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. I 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 m this adulterated, si tuation, as it might ingfrne degree resemble the origi nal—anil in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted- Under these considerations, 1 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 swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose hardened turn irs i n womerds breasts, wmch oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains oft he joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in 1 A _A WIUICVCI om.wvv) 7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Ohilblainsor parts affected bv frost. I It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scahls. 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 the medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plication®, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of anv preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to co'd. This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal tin* external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious 01 rotten. it will stop the progress of the caries, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive >mell, and ease the pains It cures the worst Felods and W hitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours.

Under this impression, I accidentaliv saw an advertisement of yours in a New Vork newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, an 1 that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respect Finding those I had without this test, I be* gnu to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of. our apothe-; caries for our pills, with your written signature.. 1 found many without this test, but none with it, until I came to the Messrs Keeris’, who assured me they had them direct from you.
