We rejoice in being relieved from the neces sity of occupying our columns with details of riot and outrage. The formidable preparations that were made on Saturday—backed by the Mayor’s second proclamation which we publish ed on that afternoon—and the general under standing that prevailed (reaching, no doubt, the ears of the lawless rioters,) that blood would be spilt if the outrages were repeated, have had the salutary effect of repressing all disturbance for the two last nights. Public feeling does not appear fully restored to its former quietude, but we shall be greatly disappointed if it breaks fjrth again into' overt acts. Agreeably to the orders issued on Saturday, a large military force assembled, and under the command of General Morton, were distributed and stationed in such parts of the city as were deemed best calculated to suppress the move ments of the mob. Several hundred citizens had been sworn in, during the day, as peace of ficers, and in the several wards bands of citi zens assembled at their respective places of ren dezvous and were organized for action. The watch were all on duty, and large de tachments were stationed in different parts of the city to repel aggression and repress disor der, wherever they should appear. The May or, Aldermen and Assistants, the Police Magis trates, Sheriff and his officers, the Police Offi cers, and City Marshals and Constables, were all in preparation for the anticipated onset. The troops and citizens were at their several posts, waiting for events to authorize them to act. Vi dettes were stationed at the different posts, and expresses in readiness to convey the earliest in telligence. The rioters, however, dared not attempt car rying into effect their avowed designs. Some disturbance was created at the head of Cathe rine street, near Chatham square, and also in Greenwich village, but in neither place of a cha racter much beyond those violations of the peace which occur on Saturday nights, in less troublesome times. The amount of damage already done has been variously estimated—from 2000 to $20,000. Crowds assembled near the Church at the cor ner of Dey and YVashington-streets, with a view to demolish it, and also near a new marble dwelling house on the easP side of Broadway, the pillars of which were said to have been wrought at the Sing Sing prison; but their dis cretion got the ascendency of their valor, and they wisely abstained from renewing the work of destruction. The following professed Disclaimer was cir culated on Saturdat evening:— American Anti-olavery society. Disclaimer.—The undersigned, in behalf of the Executive Committee of the ‘‘American Anti-Slavery Society,” and of other leading friends of the cause, now absent from the city, beg the attention of their feilow citizens to the following Disclaimer: 1. We entirely disclaim any desire to promote or encourage intermarriages between wiiite and colbred persons, 2. We disclaim, and entirely disapprove, the language of a hand bill recently circulated in this city, the tendency of which is thought to be to excite resistance to the laws. Our principle is. that even hard laws are to be submitted to by all men, until they can by peaceable means be altered. 3. We disclaim, as we have already done, any intention to dissolve the Union, or to violate the Constitution and laws of the country, or to ask of Congress any act transcending their constitutional powers, which the abolition of Slavery by Congress, in any State, would plain ly do. Arthur Tappan, John Rankin. July 13, 1834. We have in reserve a commentary upon this document, which we hope speaks in sincer ity the present objects and intentions of the wri« ters. It certainly show’s that a wonderful revolu tion has Uken place in their principles and de signs within a very short time,since the doctrines here disclaimed have been, until very recently, inculcated in their official publications. The troops were under arms until 3 o’clock yesterday morning, when they were dismissed, with orders to assemble again, part at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and others at 6 o’clock.— If their services were necessary before that pe riod. they were to be called together by the public bells, which were to strike three strokes.

Rioters.—More than fifty persons were arrest ed as being engaged in the different scenes of riot on Friday night, and were brought before thtf police magistrates on Saturday morning.— There were many of them whose guilt was not made sufficiently manifest for commitment— The following is a list of those sent to Bride well to await their trial.—Robert Gibson, John Wilson Luke Williams, Isaac Soule, Peter Van Loon, Thomas Kelly, James Moneypenny, Ja cob Wilson, Thomas Wood, Nicholas Eaery, Joseph D.

Arthur and Edward Pilsworth, brothers, re siding 94 Fulton street, were brought up and charged with having declared that they and others had organized with an intent to destroy the Bridewell during the night. Those committed on Sunday morning, lor riotous conduct on Saturday night, were John Cappan, 430 Greenwich street, Samuel Good win, 186 Broome street, Ezekiel Thatcher, 319 Hudson street, Timothy Donovan. From Newark, N. J— Further intelligence from Newark confirms our statement of Satur day. Chief Justice Hornblower addressed the mob after the riot act had been read, which had a happy effect. We learn that further at tempts were made last night, but the rioters were dispersed before any injury had been done. N. Y. Com. RIOT AT NEWARK. A riot took place at Newark on Friday even ing, respecting which the reports received here the next morning were in some respects incor rect. The Newark Daily Advertiser of Satur day, gives the following account of the occur rence.—N. Y. \ttr. Abolition introduced in Newark.—We mention with the deepest concern that this peaceable town, for the first time in its history, was alarm ed anil disturbed last night by a riot. Much as we regret and condemn the doctrines and con duct of the Abolitionists, we must, in common with every citizen who regards the peace and order of society, look with alarm upon this mode of opposing them. We heartily disapproved the publication of the irritating notice which oc casioned it. With every possible personal re spect for the feelings and character of Dr. Weeks, who we have strongest assurances de signed no offence, we must say that the attempt, in the present state of public feeling, to preach on the subject, but more especially the annun ciation of a purpose to take up a collection for so odious an association as the American Anti Slavery Society, was most ill-advised. We publish the notice that the whole head and front of the offence may be understood: JCj’ A Discourse on the Sin of Slavery is to be preached in the 4th Presbyterian Church, by the Pastor, on Friday evening, the 11th inst. at a 1-4 before 8; after which a collection will be taken up for the American Anti-Slavery Socie ty.” J9 An unusual congregation assembled at the appointed hour. The services commenced, and the sermon had been uninterruptedly pro gressed in, when about 9 o’clock the crowd about the house had increased to from 700 to 1000 people, and became noisy. Some of those immediately about the door caught the sight of a black man—the only one in the house—standing in one of the aisles. The cry hustle him nut,” “hustle him out,” was raised, and a number rushed in after him. The services were instant ly suspended. Most of the congregation rose, and the black man was thus for the mo ment lost sight of. In the confusion, the con gregation became mingled with the multitude, aud they retired without any show of opposi tion. A party of young men generously under took to shield the poor negro, and succeeded in rescuing him entirely. Thus far no material damage had been done. And we cannot suffi ciently lament that the excited multitude should not then have retired, satisfied with having bro ken up the meeting. But a scene of disorder now commenced, such as has never before been witnesed in this town. The lamps were first torn down and demolished, the pulpit and seats were then mutilated, and to a great degree destroyed, and showers of stones and other mis siles soon completed the total destruction of eve ry window, sashes, panes and all, in the room. The glass in the upper windows, we believe, was also all destroyed, and the building presents this morning tiie appearance of a wreck. We should mention, that during the progress of this work of destruction, a call was made for Dr. Weeks, and a detachment of several hun dred moved off to his residence in Market street. Apprehending danger, the Doctor had. by ad vice, taken refuge iff another place, arid the in formation having been conmcnicnted by one or two gentlemen of the ne.i cod, thrt the family were alone in the multitude returned to the church wi mis chief. Soon after midnig i the crowd dispersed, and ord ‘r the town. Newark_On Saturday night t. 'h er disturbance at Newark. Ther.r -.ed a barber’s shop, kept by a black rna re dispersed by the timely arrival of the p. i:ce. Mr. Weeks, the clergyman whose church v. as des troyed on Friday, issued the following note to the people of Newark: You will do me a favor if you will please to state, for the information of the public, that I am no advocate for the amalgamation of co lors. I believe that God, in making men of different colors, has sufficiently indicated the duty to us of keeping them separate, and of al lowing of no intermarriages between them. I have not time for further explanations. Yours, Wm. R. Weeks. Virginia Tido Centuries Age.—The coloniza tion of Virginia was commenced at Jamestown in May, 1607, by a company of one hundred persons. In 4 months the 100 dwindled to 50, and soon after to 39. In 1609 the colony had been increased by suc cessive reinforcements to 500 souls. Six months afterwards it had dwindled to 60. In 1611 the population had increased again to 200. In 1622. when the number of settlers had be come still greater, 347 men, women, and chil dren were destroyed by the Indians. In 1624, to use the words of Chief Justice Mar shall, “about £150,000 sterling had been expend ed in planting the colony, and more than 9,000 persons had been sent from Europe to people it; and yet, at the end of 17 years, the population was reduced to 1,800 persons.” Col. Crockett.—This distinguished member of Congress arrived in this place on Wednesday night last. He remained at the Indian Q,ueen till about 10 the next morning. During his short stay, he received the visits of a large number of our citizens, who were anxious to pay their re spects to a man whom they believe to be an ho nest politician, ever ready to go ahead” w here duty and the interests of his country may lead him.— Wheeling Timet. LATEST FROM FRANCE. By the arrival of the packet ship Sully, Capt. Forbes, we are in possession of Paris dates to the 30th of May, and of Havre Journals to the 1st of June, her day of sailing. The items of French-intelligence are not of much importance. They relate principally to the approaching elec tions.—-Veu> York Com. They say in the Gazette d’Etat of Berlin, of the 22d May: A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 15th, contains that which follows. We learn from Constantinople by the way of Odessa, that it was widely reported in Constantinople, that Mehcmet Ali had been assassinated in a popu lar insurrection. If this news should be con firmed, events of great ultimate importance will be its consequence.” A letter from Corfu, of the 1st May, states: “We learn from Constantinople that great changes have taken place in the army of Ibra brahim Pacha, among almost all the higher ranks, and that it was intended that the army should be immediately removed to new posi tions. Important motives aro assigned for these measures. It was believed that many of the principal officers were in secret league with Osman Pacha, who, since his desertion, has la bored all in his power to detach the Egyptian army from Mehcmet Ali. It is said that the lat ter is not without apprehensions as to the fideli ty of his troops, since he maintains secret agents in the midst of his army, whose business is to inform him of the opinions of the officers and soldiers; and it is by acting upon these reports that it has probably been judged necessary to dismiss a great part of the superior officers of the regiments, and to keep the army as con stantly employed as possible. Meanwhile, as these things are passing in the camp of Mehcmet Ali, the Porte, without noise, is augmenting his armaments by land and sea. If a new rupture should break out between them, the event will be decisive. Both feel that the existence of each will depend upon the issue of the conflict. Mehemet has more to dread from the chances of war. It remains to be seen whether their conduct in the field of Rattle will be better than that which they have maintained in a time of peace.” The law granting an extraordinary creuu ui twelve millions of francs for the service of the present year, and nearly ten milions for the year ensuing, to the Minister of War, has been officially promulgated in the Moniteur. Various speculations are indulged in by the Parisian journals, relative to the recal of the Russian Ambassador, Prince Lieven, from the Court of St. James. Some regard it as an in dication of a schism between the British arid Russian Courts, whilst others represent it as a mere domestic arrangement, unconnected with political considerations. Stock Exchanoe May 29.—Half past four o’ dock.—The Funds have experienced a decline, which is attributed to the continued rumors of a change in the British Cabinet, and the fall in the London Market. Foreign Securities in ge neral are also lower. A Royal Ordonnance was issued on the 25th inst. calling out all the remaining young sol diers of the Class df 1832. The agricultural reports from different parts of France are extremely favorable. The rains which succeeded the drought in the early part of the spring have made a very great improve ment, and the vineyards and corn lands both promise an abundant harvest. Funeral of Lafayette.—We resume our ac count of the progress of the procession to the cemetry, prefixing some incidents which occur red, but which we were unable to learn yester day at the moment of going to press, from the confusion that prevailed after it left the church. Upon reaching the Place Vendome, about a hundred young men of the schools, one of them bearing a tricolored flag covered with crape, attempted to fall into the procession, but they were prevented by the police on duty, aided by some ol'the National Guards,and an officer of the Municipal GuardF wrested from them their flag The cortege proceeded along the Boul/ard without further incident till it arrived opposite the Rue Richelieu, when an inconceivable pan ic, without any apparent cause, prevailed in the crowd, and some confusion ensued. Near the Porte St. Martin, a man who had climbed np a tree having fallen down, alarm was again spread, and the multitude rushed in to the neighboring shops and houses, even breaking the doors that were closed. The pro cession then continued its march to the cemetry without further interruption. Upon reaching the Rue de Piepus, the troops passed on, and drew up in front of the Barriere du Trone. The first part of the followers entered the Rue de Piepus, but the principal part remained outside, as, when the former had passed, the extremity of the street was barred by a military detach menu The only persons who entered the cemetry were the relatives of the deceased. Whilst they were performing the last melancholy duties, the troops stationed at the Barriere du Trone ren dered militar) honors to the great citizen, whose loss is so rmlversally deplored. As soon as the relatives had quitted the cemetry, the troops returned to their respective quarters, and the crowds quietly dispersed. Spain.—From this kingdom we are furnished with intelligence somewhat later than before received. The Spanish Cortez had been offi cially convoked by the Queen Regent in the name of Donna Isabella, to assemble on the 24th of May. There can scarcely be a doubt that this measure will be attended with impor tant political results. When that body was con voked in *1823 by the 4 beloved’ Ferdinand, it was wrung from him by 4 the gripe of dire ne cessity,’ and he relieved himself from the bur then of constitutional advisement at the first practicable opportunity. There is every rea son to believe that the present convocation of the Cortez is not a measure of constraint, but in-perfect harmony with and cordial co-ope ration of the court. Hence we may look, with greater confidence than heretofore, to the res toration of civil liberty in Spain. It is not to be expected that it will be attained without many struggles and reverses, either in Spain or Por tugal—yet the prospect is more cheering to the friends of freedom, than on any previous oc currence. The Constitutionnei de Loire et Cher states that, on the 24th May, the Poles at Blois assem bled at the church of St. Louis, and caused a funeral service to be performed in honor of Gen Lafayette. Disaster at Sea.—The schooner Phlandbme arrived this morning. On the 27th June, Hole in the Wall bearing W. twenty miles distant, spoke schooner Gideon Lee, Hall, from New York for Mobile, in distress, having caught fire by a jar of aquafortis bursting in the hold. Sent the boat on board, broke open the hatches and extinguished the fire.—New Y&rk Com. IOB PRINTING neatly executed at this office UNITED STATES BANK. The subjoined correspondence shows with what alacrity the Bank is disposed to meet the wishes of the committee in behalf of the mer cantile interests. The information, with regard to curtailments and extension of loans on the part of the Bank, will be most important to busi ness men and incorporations.—AT. V. Star New York, 10th July, 1834. Sir—At a mating of many merchants, and others interested in commerce, in this city, the undersigned were appointed a committee to ex press to you and to the Board of Directors of the United States Bank, over which you preside, the following views: A large portion of the difficulties under winch the commercial community have labored for some months past, has arisen from the restric tions deemed necessary on the part of the Unit ed States Bank, in the differences existing be tween the Executive of the General Govern ment and it; and so long as there seemed just ground for the continuance of such restrictions upon its issues and accommodations to the mer cantile public, all efforts of the New York com mercial men were confined, to endeavor to ren der them as little burdensome as possible, and to endure them with the firmnes and by the sa crifice, called forth by evils deemed inevitable. All agree that the pressure has been one of the most severe and the most extensive ever known in this country; and that it has been sustained in a manner to elevate the character and to make known the resources of our commercial community. So long as Congress continued in session it was not deemed hopeless to look for some de cision upon the great questions of finance, which were agitating onr country from its centre to its extremities, and that measures of reliefwould naturally have flowed from the definite action of the National Legislature; but disappointed in this expectation, we are of opinion that the time has now arrived when the United States Bank, in safety beyond all contingency, with resources abundant, and increasing beyond all example, can, and ought, to come forward to the relief and support of the commercial interests of the country; and we will not doubt its concurrence with us in these view's, which so naturally result from premises, which must be equally apparent to it and to us. In the true spirit which snouia ever cnaiac terize the intercourse between mercantile men and the direction of the great organ of commerce, a National Hank, (and in the increased necessi ty for such an institution our latter experience confirms our former opinions) we will frankly state our views to be, that the system of restric tion adopted by the Bank the last autumn, should now be entirety abandoned, and in its stead that a course of free and useful enlargement of its loans should be substituted, to the extent of five mil lions of dollars, at such places, in such amounts, and in such a manner as may most effectually restore the operations of the Bank to its former beneficial influence, and meet the object pro posed, of reviving public confidence, and of giving relief and support to a community ac customed to rely upon Bank facilities for the commencement and continuance of their usual commerce and trade. These of late have been most ufortunately interrupted, if not paralyzed; and cannot be generally or usefully renewed, except by the full and free co-operation of the United States Bank, as now indicated, especial ly by those who, although rich in enterprize, skill, and character, are yet deficient in actual capital—a class which constitutes the bone and sinew of our community—and is destined, ere long, unless prevented by a continuance of unto ward events, to furnish leading men in influence and wealth. By such a course, adopted by the United States Bank, publicly proclaimed and zealous ly persevered in, for twelve months at least, (which will afford ample time fpr any measures of precaution on its part, prior to 1836.) the most beneficial consequences would be secured; the almost extinct impulse of private credit w’ould be revived; many of the great evils of our present condition would be removed; the usual facilities of business in all its ramifica tions would be promoted; the recent lesson of suffering would be a security against overtrad ing; and the commerce and trade of the nation would, at least measurably, resume activity, vi gor and prosperity. The intercourse of the Bank, with its custom ers, w’ould thus be replaced upon its former footing of mutual benefit, and the interest of both be promoted by so natural and wise a po- licy; which, to be of the greatest advantage, should be of the longest possible duration, and so be understood by all parties. We have the honor to remain, with the high est respect, sir, your obedient servants. Signed, James Brown, John Haggehtv, James G. King, Charles H. Russell, Georoe GrISW’OLD, Thos. Tilston, J. W. Leavitt, Jonathan Goodhue, John A. Stevens. To N. Biddle, Esq. President of the U. S. Hank, Philadelphia. Bank of the United States, July 11th, 1834. Gentlemen—I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 10th instant, which was imme diately submitted to the Board of Directors, from whom it could not fail to receive the res pectful consideration due to the signers of it. The general subject of which it treats has, as you may naturally suppose, engaged the early and anxions attention of the Directors. For some months past, the principal object of their measures has been to provide for the safety, and to maintain the credit of the Bank, at all ha zards. The restrictions upon its business, which they were under the necessity of imposing for this purpose, were as painful to the Board of Directors as the community; and they confi dently trusted that the National Legislature, if it sanctioned the measures which rendered these restraints necessary, would have provided oth er means of mitigating their inevitable pressure. But the adjournment of Congress, without adopt ing any measures, either of redress to the Bank, or of relief to the community, places both the Bank and the country in a new relation to each other, and imposes upon the diminished ability of the Bank an extraordinary demand for its assistance. To that claim the Board of Directors cannot be insensible. They feel that the prosperity of the Bank is completely iden tified with that of the country; and they deem it not merely a duty but a gratification to in terpose, whenever the resources of the Bank can be safely empioyed in the relief and sup port of the great interests of the community.— Accordingly, on the 27th ult., when it was per ceived that Congress was about to adjourn without adopting any measures for the relief of the country, the Board appointed a committee to consider the new duties which that event might devolve upon the Bank, and their report tvas this day adopted. That report comteni platcs tw o objects. The first is to put an imme diate end to all the curtailments of the loan hitherto directed—a measure which was forth with adopted. The second regards tire future expansion of the loans of the Bank—a subject, as you are aware, of far greater difficulty and deficacy. The long experience and the sngaci ty in business for w hich so many of you, gen tlemen, are distinguished, will, I think, readily suggest to you that a general public declaration of a purpose to add to the loans of the bank a sum of from 5 to $10,000,000 might be productive of great disadvantage, as well to the bank as to the public, and that the more prudent course of expansion, if any be necessary, would be to in crease the foans cautiously, at those points which most require relief. To such a policy, the Board are well disposed, and they will proceed to the consideration of your views witn every disposition to concur in them so far as the state of the Institution, and the principles on w hich they think it prudent to conduct its affairs, will permit. I have the honor to be. very respect fully, yours, N. BIDDLE, President. Messrs. Janies Brown, James G. King, and others, New York.

From the Chardon {Ohio) Spectator, July ]2. A Mormon Battle.—A letter has been receiv ed, by a gentleman in this neighborhood, direct I from Missouri, stating that a body of well arm j ed Mormons, led on by their great prophet, Joe Smith, lately attempted to cross thewiver into Jackson county. A party of the citizens of Jack son county opposed their crossing, and a battle ensued, in which Joe Smith was wounded in the leg, and the Mormons obliged to retreat; that Joe Smith’s limb was amputated, but he died three days after the operation. The Convention of the People of the State r,j Tennessee were in session at Nashville, when the intelligence of the death of Lafaylttl «u> received.

ALEXANDRIA: THURSDAY ^AORSISG, JULY 17, 1834. ITEMS. Gov. Porter, of Michigan, died at Detroit on Saturday week. Centrevilie, Luzerue county, Pa., was almost destroyed by a most destructive tornado on the 2d lost: out of 24 buildings, 3 only escaped un injured. One person, killed and a number in jured. A woman was murdered in a house of an in famous character, at Frederick, Md.; suspicion has fallen upon an Irishman, named Joseph O’ Connor, in whose possession a bloody dagger and pistol were found. The unfortunate fe male had been but a week in the place, and was the victim of a villain in Pennsylvania, who had caused her to abandon her husband and children, and then cast her aside, without friends, money or home. The Paris Correspondent of the New ork 'uurier, under date of May 31, says: TFie Pope has addressed a letter, or rescript. President Boyer, in w’hich, alter speaking ot his affection and good will, and of the obsta cles which had hitherto stood in the way o ..ending spiritual assistance to the Republic oi H ivti. his Holiness informs him that he fins de rinined on despatching John England, Bishop of Charleston, in the United States, as his Le gate to. Hayti, in order to deliberate with the President on the choice of Pastors, and to take m-asui es for the formation of a national cJer 2V.” The Norfolk Herald says:-" We state, upon. 2,>od authority, that the Bank of the United States at Philadelphia, have thrown open their books and papers, without any reserve whate ver. to the free and full inspection of the Com mittee of Finance, appointed by the Senate of the United States, to investigate the affairs op that Institution. The Committee will very shortly proceed to the fulfilment of the duty confided to them.” Mr Clark, who with Lewis in 1305. crossed the llocky Mountains, and published their tra vels and researches, lately visited Buffalo on his way to Detroit. He is represented as hale and hearty. Papers from Demerara of the 4th ult. an nounce that a most during and extensive rob bery had been committed in the district of Ber bice, the office of the Colonal Register having been entered, and money in specie and Coloni al paper to the amount of from 120,000 to 150,000 guilders abstracted from the iron chest. An embargo had, in consequence, been laid on the shipping in the river, and other measures taken to detect the robber, but without success. There were one hundred and eighty-three interments in the city and liberties of Phila delphia, for the week ending on the 12th in stant. Nathaniel Beverly Tucker, Esq. has been ap pointed Law Professor in the College of Wil liam and Mary, in Virginia. Herr Cline, so well known as a rope dancer, has arrived at New York from Liverpool. A woman and two daughters died almost in stantaneously in France, on drinking from a barrel of cider a year old, in w inch a dead ser pent was found. The reptile had probabiy crept in the bunghole, leP. open for the liquor to ferment. Singular Eceitt —A short time since, says a French paper, as some men were fishing at the entrancef>f the Seine, they caught a large stur geon, in the stomach cf which was found a port folio, containing a number of papers, in an •excellent state of preservation, b engine to a na val officer, who had been shipwrecked a short time before. His will, discovered among these papers, will enrich a poor soldier, who had for merly aved the deceased officers life in an engagement. Fish Story— The following fact, which William Cobbett says will be attested on earth, »y any farmer, ploughman, or shepherd in En gland, we believe will be news to some of our re cJers—Flounders—real littleJiat-Jiah, brown hi one side and w hite on the other, mouth side ways, with tail, fins, and all leaping alice, are found in the inside of a rotten sheep, and of -very rotten sheep’s liver.” A piece of plate, an Epergne, weighing 430 ounces, was presented to Tycho Wing, on the completion of the new Outfall Cut. on the Wis beach river, by which vessels of 250 tons can now navigate. Many thousand acres of valu able land have been preserved from inundation ny this Cut, the expense of which, and the nor thern draius, has been £350,000 Emb'ih paper. The ferocious manner in w inch the ”emain iug cherub of the Evening Post recommends putting down the mob, has created some fear's that their office might be menaced. We hope, at least for our sake, that no one will touch the Evening Post office, for the beams of the Star office run into their ribs. We are like the Si amese twins; if you tear down the Post, the Star goes with it. Singular as it may seein, united, we stand—divided we fall.”—-V. Y.Star Nicholas Biddle Esq. President of the Bank of the United States, arrived in this City on Saturday, and proceeded to Boston on the eve ning of the same day. His visit, we understand, lias some connection with an expansion of the business of the B#nk, so loudly called for by the commercial embarrassments every where ex Ming; and which expansion, we learn, the di rectors of the Bank have revived upon. ,V V. Mer. Distressing Case.—A. poor black woman, with five small children, having lost her hus band, who was drowned, about two weeks ago, had the whole of her clothing destroyed by the mob who attacked the house. 156 Leonard street, where she resided.—.V. V. Cour. Fourth of July.—The anniversary of the decla ration of Independence was celebrated in Litch field Conn., by games of cricket, in which the married men entered the list against the bache lors. Three games were played, and the ba chelors were completely victorious. After this trial of skill, the contending parties adjourned to the church, to hear a discourse upon the sub ject of African Colonization.—Bost. Pat. Immense Blocks of Granite.—On Beer Island, in Boston harbor, an extensive wall of stone has been erected, by order of the General Gov ernment, to prevent the inroads of the ocean on the diluvian soil. The Gloucester Telegraph says: The stone for this work was supplied by Messrs. Torrey and others, from the exten sive quarries at Sandy Bay, (Cape Ann.) The operations of these gentlemen last year, notwith standing their extent, were not equal to the de mand, and this season are somewhat enlarged, slfordinc employment to about twenty vessels, some being upwards of 100 tons burthen. Blocks upwards of 100 feet long have been quarried; and they can be obtained on the Cape, measuring in length at least 100 feet, and from 15 to 20 feet square; the smallest of which would weigh not less than one thousand eight hundred and sev enty-five tons.” [communicated.] Mr. Snotcden—Persons who drink freely of cold water when hot, and feel the bad effects ♦herefrom, should immediately drink nearly a wine glass of reverant brandy, gin, or whiskey, which will immediately give tone to the stomach, and will fling up the water which they have drank. If the person should be much effected, his mouth must be opened, and the above quan tity poured down his throat, which will, if it is got down in time, save life. This has happen ed in my knowledge. Cr. Sg. 16M July, 1834. THE WEATHER.—On Wednesday, the heat, like that of the previous day and night, was dense and oppressive. The Thermometer, at the Museum, at 9 A. M. stood at 81; at 2 P. M. at 86. The atmosphere has been decidedly more distressingly humid and oppressive for the last 4S hours, than when the Thermometer has stood as high as 90 to 92 degrees, on former days, under a different atmosphere.

The water is highly medicinal, hav ing stood the test for 25 or 30 years. Many re* spectable certificates could be procured, were it necessary, to prove the value of this water. In dyspepsia, diarrhea, affections of the liver, cu* taneous affections, suppressed perspiration, de bility, aod many other diseases to which the hu man system is subject, this water, upon n fair trial, I hope, will not be less efficacious than any sulphur wa'er whatever. The accommodations shall be equal to any other watering place; the most trusty servants provided, and our table shall be furnished with the best our markets af ford. I trust that a few weeks can be agreea bly and profitab y spent at this Spring. Them is a Shower Bath of sulphur water, and a Warm Bath for invalids.

May 6,18.31. Mr. C Herstons—\ deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of my children were affected with scald head of an inve terate character. My family physician, Dr John T. Wilson, of Leesburg, Va. who was very skilful and ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every means to effect a cure. At length Judkins' Ointment wasapplicd, and thealTectiou was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, vuur obedient servant, L. P- W. LUicu. From the Honoruble John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress, dated WasataoToa, January 22,1829. Sir—It has been my wish, fora considerable time, to communicate to you the good eFect with which I have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins, and which 1 now understand is made and sold by agents appointed by yourself, 1 have applied this Ointment during the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure in every instance. 1 consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all casea of tumor, be the cause whatit mayd produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly xll disappeared. I took the medicine sixty duys regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pill*, when I tound myself restored to health. After I commenced the H)g'*ian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, i j was able to resume my studies in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease. Hitherto I have been convalescent; and if my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I have less pains, and am more free from temporary sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec* tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVEi On II. SsErusAnn Mon. Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe suffering, and employing a medical man three years, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her ns on one side had turned in, actually deformed The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three years- It was occasioned by over-lacing hers e> If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pit's for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she ia now restored to health; and I have no objection to this case being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours trulv, H. DYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834 In justice to Dr. M.. her medical adviser, when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended perseverence in the use of he medicines. This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herba, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congeniaito the nature of man, and therefore deatruc tive to the human frame,) ia found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage ofhuman suffering; the most pi *asant and benign in it* operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of 6udily strength, and without the tear of catching cold, orattention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustonn d habits. These frills cure all cases, and cannot betaken to excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them has already verified its truth in this country. I nese medicines cure Dy purging; and yet the weak, I the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, been ise they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep.
