Bernard’* Renovating Liquid, for extracting all kind* of Oils, Paints, Tar, and Grease, from the most delicate colored Silks, Satins, Cloths, Bomba zines, or Velvets, without injuring, in the least, their-color or texture. No danger need be apprehended in using ft upon the finest and most delicate Silks—nor is it like the soaps so commonly advertised in our day, which, by removing one evil, almost in variubly produce another of double size; nor does it require the preparatory means of ail other renovators—such as hot irons and th« like. Only a little clean water, according to the direction, is wanting. Oil or Grease of any kind can be extracted from the most delicate colored carpets, without the usual trouble of taking them up. If used according to the directions, it will at once ex tract every particle of grease from the finest Cloth, or most delicate Silks, without injur ing in the least the color or texture.

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM FRANCE. By the packet ship Francis Depau, Capt. Ro binson, from Havre, we have Paris papers of the the 6th June, inclusive.—.V. Y. Com. LAFAYETTE. The papere received this morning from Paris, furnish The answer of Geo. W. Lafayette, to the deputation of American citizens, who ad dressed to him a letter of condolence on account of the decease ol his father, which will be found below’. They also furnish the reason why Mr. Liv ingston, American Minister, did not appear at the funeral. It seems that he was, at the time of the death of Lafayette, on a visit to Holland. Below is also a correspondence between G. W. Lafayette and Mr. Barton, American Charge des Affaires, representing the interests of the United States. Reply of George IV. Lafayette to the Amerieun Committee. Paris, May 23, 1831. Gentlemen—1 have received with feelings of the most respectful gratitude the letter which you did me the honor to address to me the mo ment after my family and myself had lost the veneruble and tenderly loved parent whom Hea ven had given us. Alter having filled with glo ry the old age of him who had had the happi ness of consecrating to them his earliest years, the Citizens of the United States are going also to weep with us over his grave; and these tears will be for his memory a precious reward for his fidelity to the convictions he brought back with him from the classic soil of liberty. These tears will be eagerly caught by his children and by his grand children; they will give them cour age to sustain their misfortune, and struggle to inarch with a firm and assured step in the path which he has always followed who knew how to merit them. Gentlemen, your sympathy mitigates our af fliction; it sheds a salutary balm on our hearts, now broken with grief. Receive the homage of our respectful grati tude. George W. Lafayette. letter written by George IF. Lafayette to Mr. Barton, Charge<T Affaire* of the U. States. Paris, May 21, 1834. Sir—He who had obtained from Franklin the authority of first drawing iiis sword in the de fence of liberty under the American Standard in 1770, the adopted son. of Washington, the commander of the American light infantry at Yorktown; he, whom in 1821 and 1825 an en-1 tire nation honored with a triumph without ex ample in history, my father, General Lafayette, is no mote! To-morrow, his son, his grand sons, those to whom alliances, blessed by him self, have given the right of being his children, are to conduct him to his last abode. The French people loved him, and the fune ral car wnich will transport him to the spot where nlreajly reposes the partner of his life, will be, we confidently expect, surrounded by a numerous crowd of good citizens. Permit me, Sir, to ask of you, in the name of my family, the representative of our second country, to participate in our griefs, in the name of that country of which we are in a manner children. One of the corners of the pall which will cover ray father is destined for you, Sir; and your fellow-citizens assembled around you will find, I venture to hope, in the price we attach to their presence on this mourn ful occasion, the proof of our gratitude for the veneration for the memory of my father, of which this morning they have been so good as to make me the depositary. Be pleased to accept, Sir, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. George W. Lafayette. Reply of Mr. Burton to George IF. Lafayette. Legation of the United States, Paris, May 22, 1834. Sir—It with heartfelt grief tfiat I have receiv ed the news of the death of our illnstrious fa ther General Lafayette. My task would be less difficult had J merely to express my own feel ings, but other duties now devolve upon me, which make me sensible how incompetent 4 am to perform it. I would speak to you, S r, of the gratitude and veneration of a nation—of the grief about to overwhelm a whole people: but I can only request you to receive these assurances from me until my country can renew them in a more solemn manner. You honor me, Sir, by selecting me, as repre senting my country, for one of the pall-bearers. I beg you to accept, with my personal thanks, those which I tender in its name. I sincerely regret, at this moment, the absence of Mr. Livingston. His age. his character, his ofTu ial situation, and above all, the ties of friend ship which united him. for so many years but to one whom we all loved, and whose loss we all deplore, would have rendered him far more worthy than myself of the honor you intend us. 1 shall fulfil the duty assigned me, doubtless, with grief, but at the same time with feelings of pride. That my Government may be officially in formed of the honor you have conferred upon us, l shall immediately transmit to Washing ton copies of your letter and my answer. Ac cept once more, Sir, my renewed acknowledg ments, and be kind enough to convey the ex pression of my feelings to your family. I have the honor to be, with the highest re gard, your obedient, humble servant. Thomas P. Barton. ENGLAND. Bank or England.—The following legal opi nion has been given at Lincoln’s Inn, by James Lewis Knight, and Robert Clayton Waters, Esqrs., upon consideration of all the acts of par liament relative to the Bank of England, includ ing the Bank charter act of last session:— “We are of opinion that it would not be any breach of faith with the Bank of England for the King to grant a charter of incorporation to a joint stock bank of deposite in London; or for parliament to grant an act to such joint stock bank, enabling it to sue and be sued in the name of its officers; and we think that until such an act of parliament or charter be obtained, the bu siness of the bank may be carried on in the names of the trustees, who (proper provisions for the purpose being inserted in the deed of set tlement, and other proper precautions as to their dealings'taken) might alone sue and be sued in al! proceedings between the company and the public; but we recommend that the clauses in the deed having reference to this object should be settled, and the precautions above alluded to be considered by equity and common law coun sel in conference with conveyancing counsel.’’ We have received a letter from the north of France, requesting us to informs the Leeds ma nufacturers, and especially some who make a new and uncommon description of goods, that several Frenchmen have come to England, ac companied by an able mechanician) with the view of ootaing a knowledge of the peculiar processes of this manufacture at Leeds. We mention the fact, because we think manufactur ers, who possess any exclusive secrets or im provements, are justified in endeavoring to keep them to themselves. It is seldom possible to do so, and the superiority of this country does not consist in any peculiarities of this nature, but in the abundance of coal and iron, in larger capi tal, steadier industry, the minute division ol la bour, the practised skill of a large body of work men, and the full protection given to property. Yet there is no reason why our manufacturers should give up, without compensation, the re sults of their own inventive skill.—(Leeds Mer cury.) Royal Marines.—All the First Lieutenants prior to 1915 have been promoted to the rank of Captain and placed on the half-pay, to be called in as vacancies occur. Capt. J. Wilson, of the Chatham division, is appointed Assistant Adjutant-General of Royal Marines,vice Wright promoted. Don Carlos was at Evera, in Portugal, on the 26th of May. He had surrendered, together with 600 men and a large number of officers. The ratifications of the Treaty concluded on the 22d of April, between the Courts of Paris, London. Madrid and Lisbon, were exchanged in London on the 31st ult, and the French Go vernment has just received those of the other three powers. IRELAND. Extract of a letter from Dublin, dated May 31s/ “Within the last'twenty years many Ministe rial changes have occurred which excited great attention in the political world, but in regard to Ireland the resignation ot Mr. Stanley and his party has produced an interest and excitement altogether unprecedented. The retirement of the Weilington Administration was connected with a question in which the empire at large was concerned—the triumph of the principle of Par liamentary Reform interested all the divisions of the union; but the tranquility and social im provement of Ireland—the satisfactory arrange ment ot the church revenue system, and the re moval of the primary source of discord and dis turbance—are involved in the recent alteration of the cabinet. This country only requires peace to render her prosperous. If the strife and contention caused by the tithe system were at an end; if the real evils of the country were under the corrrection of a vigorous po licy, rely upon it that repeal or any other de scription of agitation would no more he heard of; and we should lose our distinctive charac ter as a nation of ‘patriots and politicians,’ for that of an industrious and thriving people. Se veral members of the House of Commons who had been sojourning here, have set off for Lou don, in order to be in their places on Monday evening.”— Globe. BELGIUM. The Courrier Beige, of the 3d June, has the following: “The Chamber of Representatives yester day rejected the bill introduced by the Ministry for investing the Throne wifh the power of dis solving the Provincial Councils. Unfortunate ly the tutelage under which the Chamber has placed these Councils, by granting the veto to the Government, even with regard to such of their resolutions as relate exclusively to the management of the Province, has already viti ated their institution. These Councils can no longer move freely within the circle of their at tribution. They have not the power of introduc ing any measures, however especially they may affect the separate interests of the provinces, without touching the general interests of the country.” ALGIERS. An official report, dated Algiers, May 23d, ad dressed by Gen. Y’oirol to the Minister of War, announces numerous depredations committed by the Hadjoutes upon the lands and flocks of of the Beni Khali: having exasperated that Arab tribe in a high degree, he resolved to punish the Hadjoutes, and compel them to restore the cattle they had carried oft. About 500 men, nearly all mounted, together with a considerable part of the Beni Moussa. assembled at Bonfl'arich in the night of the 17lh, t form a van guard.— Gen. Bro, with several battalions, 100 horses, and three field-pieces, was ordered to march upon Haouch Smara. His instructions were not to attack the Hadjoutes if they would res tore the cattle they had taken. The latter, j imagining they could escape by inpunity. fired some shots upon the van fuard, which imme diately fell upon them, and this attack being supported by Gen. Bro, they offered little; re sistance. They fled, leaving behind them 400 or 500 bend of cattle, which were given to the people of the Beni Khalil. The Hadjoutes suf I fered some loss. The next day the troops ad vanced with the intention of scouring the forest. A flag of tiuce was sent by the Hadjoutes, but the conditions of peace proposed not being ac cepted, the forest was scoured by the troops, who found immense flocks, which were bestow ed on tlie Beni Khalil and the Beni Moussa.— Tents, camels, and bales of wool were also car ried off. We had three men killed and five or six wounded, and the auxiliary Arabs alsosuffer ed some loss. The troops having thus obtained for the Beni Khalil more than had been taken from them, set out on the 20th on their return, and the next day arrived at Douera. The following appalling description of the suf ferings of Lafayette, when incarcerated in the prison of Olmutz, is extracted from an English paper published in 1796: “He was seized upon in neutral ground, and from the month of August, 1792, buried alive, in cold subterraneous solitary dungeons, de lved of exercise, of air, of the light of hea ven, of all intercourse with human beings; strip ped off all his clothes before his being plunged into his last dungeon at Olmutz, and clad like a galley slave in trousers and iraistcoat made of sail cloth, enduring in that condition the memo rable writer of 1794, destitute of every thing, refused even a knife and fork, and the scanty comforts allowed to felons, obliged to lie on straw and a miserable mattrass, the relic of his Russian prison.” St. Augustine, July 3.— Court Martial.—A Court Martial is now sitting in this city, for the trial of Lieut. Tuttle, of the U. S. Corps of En gineers, on certain charges preferred against him. Captain E. Lyon, President; Dr. R. D. Weightman, Judge Advocate. FOREIGN ITEMS, [SELECTED BY THE NEW YORK 9TAR.J A general congress of all the European pow ers is spoken of, at the suggestion ofthe French king. Aix la CImpelle is hinted at as the place of meeting. The king of Naples, it is said, is about to send away the Swiss troops, and give his people a constitution. A new Turkish militia were about to be form ed, by an order of the Sultan, for the purpose of defending the vast territories, and garrison ing fortresses, without withdrawing from agri culture, trade, and other branches of industry, too many hands, which might impoverish the country. Jerome Bonaparte had passed through Brus sels, on his way to Germany. The Duke of Orleans has taken twenty shares of lOOOf. each, in the Algerine Coloni zation Co.; the proceeds he intends to devote to the use of some public institution at Algiers. The Parisians seems to have assembled in crowds on the Quays, to witness the arrival of an immense barge, laden with ice, which the principal cw/e keepers of Paris have imported from Norway. The ice is deposited in'the hold, and completely covered w ith a thick bed ofbay salt, over which is raised a sort of roof or thatch of rushes. Several wealthy young citizens of Frankfort, had left to settle with their wives in N. America. The celebrated traveller Capt James Ross, had passed through Copenhagen on his way to Sweden, on matters relative to his northern ex- j pedition. On his return he was to undertake a voyage to the South Pole. A rupture is apprehended between England and Russia, from the difficulties in the Ionian i Isles, Ac. The extensive naval armaments of: those powers in the Mediterranean, give coun-! tenance to this supposition. Ifever those fleets come into collision, we shall have rehearsed over again the victory of the Nile, in which the Russian sea forces probably w ill be annihilated, i and Turkey, Egypt, Syria, and the Black Sea, fall into into the possession of England and France. Mr. Buckingham stated in the British parlia ment that he had taken the pains to place him self, during a whole day, in a tavern in Lon don, and that he saw enter there for liquor, 2600 men, 1855 women, and 289 children! The pro prietor of the establishment assured him that j he sold liquor weekly to 269,450 iuen, 103,590 women, and 112.450 children!! The Royal Court of Paris has recently de-' cided that no Frenchman can institute proceed- j ings in the French Courts of Law, against any foreigner whom he may have previously sued in the Courts of another country. In a recent discussion at Rouen, relative to the sale of public property, the women entered the hall, and put an end to the same by extingin guishing the candles. The Journal an Loiret has the following: On the 25th of May, Orleans and its environs were during the whole morning covered with a dry and fetid fog, driven by a cold and violent breeze from the northeast, and resembling in appearance and odor the smoke of burning lime. The light of the sun appeared as during a partial eclipse. These appearances justify the hypothesis of Arago in the Annuaire of 1832, on the origin of these fogs, in which he sup poses that they may be vapors from the im mense furnace in the centre of the earth, which escape through fissures in its crust; or else that it is the smoke of some distant volcano carried away by the wind, or that of some body not be longing to our globe, which has become ignited, and the vapor of which has fallen down into our atmosphere; or, finally, the impalpable pow der or dust of some planet burst by its own in ternal fire, or crushed by the shock of some co-1 met.” The espousal of Halil Pacha with the Sultan’s second daughter took place on the 1st. The marriage ceremony will be performed in a fort night. On this occasion the extreme of Orien tal luxury and magnificence were displayed; j not only the Seraglio, but the entire population, participated in the rejoicings. The Sultan has j ordered public festivities, which are to be con tinued for a week, by day and by night. Booths are erected in all the public places, where the lower classes constantly find refreshments of all kinds distributed prntis. The troops, dur ing this week, are to receive double pay. To amuse them and the people, jugglers and rope dancers are ordered to be constantly perform ing their feats. There will be a grand review the day after to-morrow, at which all the foreign ambassadors will be present. At the end of the fetes the Grand Vizier will, in the Sultan’s name, give a splendid entertainment to the grandees of the empire, and to all foreigners of distinction. The nuptial presents have been brought from the Seraskier’s palace to the Se raglio with much pomp. The ceremony will be performed in the saloon where the prophe’s nmntle is preserved. Paris, June 6.—The Minister of the Marine has sent circulars to all the commercial ports, with orders to keep the offices for enrolling sailors for the navy constantly open, and to send to Toulon all that arrive from sea, and have been on shore^ix months. Previous orders had been issued to put all the ships which are afloat in the ports into repair, so as to be ready for sea on the first notice. Paris, June 5.—Among Ihe curiosities winch M. Ruppol lias brought from Abyssinia, are two remarkable manuscripts. One is a bibie said to contain a new work of Solomon, one or two new books of Esdras, and a considerable addi- i tion to the fifth book of Esther, all perfectly un- j known in Europe. It also contains the book of I Enoch and fifteen new Psalms, the existence of which was already known to the learned. The other manuscript is a species of code, which the j Abyssinians date from the Council of Nice (325) i the epoch at which it was promulgated by one of their Kings. This code is divided into two books: the first relates to canonical law, and treats of the relations of the Church with the temporal power; the other is a sort of civil code. There are also some remarkable hymns, be cause they present the return of consonancy, the only feature of poetry to be found in Abys sinian literature. t'nrious Circuvistancc.—On Sunday, April 13, as the clerk of Collingbourn Kensington church w’as looking out the lessons for the day, he per ceived something under the Bible, in the read ing-desk, and, in a hollow place, found a robin’s nest, containing two eggs. The bird, not hav ing been disturbed, laid six eggs, which were hatched on the 4th inst. They are now to be seen, and have been viewed by the churchwar dens and many respectable persons. It is sin gnlar that the male bird, which worked hard to procure food for its mate, should have even brofeht it in its bill and fed its partner during the wne of divine service, which is performed twice every Sabbath day.—Bath {Eng.) Gaz. Mr. MLane.—We have been assured, by a friend at Washington City, that the general be lief there is, that this gentleman did not resign his office until compelled to do so by the appa rent determination of the President not to no minate him. We had hoped that Mr. M’Lane had cut the concern, from an unwillingness to have his name any longer connected with an administration so manifestly corrupt; but if it be true that he was forced to volunteer his re sigation, by the fact that he could no longer con ceal his consciousness of the President’s deter mination not to nominate him, then we must change the opinion we had entertained of him. Muncy Telegraph. If we had not confidence in the good inten tions of the Editor from whom we quote the a bove, perhaps we should pass it unnoticed. Ha ving information, however, upon which we place full reliance, entirely contrary to this state ment, which professes to be founded upon infor mation from Washington, it seems to us to be no more than due to Mr. M’Lane to say that he did not resign until he was informed by the i President that he was about to send his nomina tion to the Senate. The Session of Congress being then so near its close, Mr. M’Lane would not suffer the Senate to be at the trouble of con firming his nomination, when he did not mean to retain the office, and therefore peremptorily resigned the office, against the wishes of the President, but in obedience to the dictates of his own judgment and feelings. We have rea son to suppose, from all we have heard, that Mr. M’Lane has been ready to resign his post, and indeed has offered to do so, more than once j since the removal of the public deposites, on I which subject it has been announced, officially, that he differed from the President, but was in duced to remain. He was in hopes, probably, for a time, that the President might change his i course in regard to the disposition of the pub lie revenue. But, disappointed in this, he found j it incompatible with his own notions of right to remain longer in the Administration, and he j withdrew from it. For the independence of spirit which impel i led him thus voluntarily, from conscientious motives, to relinquish an honorable and lucra j tive office, he deserves the approbation and res pect of all honest men.—Nat. Ini. The Hon. Geo. C. Washington, President, and several of the directors of the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal Company, accompanied by Gen. Charles Fenton Mercer and other gen tlemen, arrived at this place yesterday on a tour of inspection of the work under their man agement. Having traversed and examined the whole line of the Canal, they left this place this morning on their return to Washington, j No determination, we understand, has yet been formed, whether the work shall be arrest ed or continued to completion as far as the pre j sent contracts extend. The difficulty, in times like these, to raise money by loan, so that the work may advance, and existing debts at the same time be paid, may be the means of stop ping operations at present. As the Company has assets sufficent to meet ail existing debts arid liabilities, the untiring efforts of the Board will no doubt be directed immediately to the ne gotiation of a loan lo enable it to complete the work now under contract. IVillianwpwt Banner, of July 12. The iron steamboat, intended to ply as a re gular trader on the Savannah river, between Sa vannah and Augusta—the first iron steamboat ever used in this country,—has been launched at Savannah. She draws two feet four inches, without boilers. She has been called the John Randolph. The projector of this novel enter pTize is Mr. G. B. Lamar. The boat we believe is of British construction, and, as an experi ment, was allowed to be imported either free of duty, or at a reduced duty, we do not recollect which.—Balt. Amer.

Steamboat Encounter.—The steamboat Plan ter, on a recent trip from Louisville to St. Lou is, stopped at Evansville to land freight. While there an officer came with a writ to arrest some person on board. The Captain of the boat would not allow him to go on board. Some high words passed between the parties, and the result that was the officer, with a Irage posse,mus tered several muskets and a swivel, which were loaded. The swivel, at the time of starting, %as aimed at the ladies’ cabin; the contents entered a berth that had been occupied by a sick lady but a few moments before, and would have inev itably been killed if she had remained there.— The smull arms were principally directed to the upper deck, where the Captain stood, with vol leys of stones. A number of the shot struck the chimneys. Mokt fortunately the Captain esca ped with a slight bruise on the shoulder. Meic York Commercial. Deaths in Philadelphia.—The official report of last week furnish the extraordinary number of one hundred and eightv-three. Among them were no less than ninety children under two years of age; a considerable portion of the other deaths were the effect of the exceedingly hot weather.—Ibid. A gentleman from Norwich, Conn., called up on us to-day, and informed us that the story circulating in the papers, of a disturbance at a church in that place on Thursday night last week, on the subject of the abolition of slavery, i was wholly without foundation. The meeting at which such disturbance was alleged to have taken place, was not interrupted in the slightest degree, either by men or music. N. Y. Dai. Ado. We notice in the New York papers two ac counts containing what the Editors call pre i cise information” touching the mutilation of I the figure head of the frigate Constitution. We I visited that frigate on Saturday, examined par ticularly her bows, and do not hesitate to say that the accounts referred to are fabrications. The fact is, only about one half of the head of the etfigy is gone, instead of the whole of it,* as is generally supposed.— Poston Com. Gaz. A good Stick.—A single stick of St. Domingo mahogany, measuring one hundred and seven ty-nine feet, board measure, was sold at auction this morning, by John Tyler, at f t per foot, making the cost and value of the log seven hun dred. and sixteen dollars! It was imported in the brig Baltimore, ("apt. Davis.—Boil. Trans. Sam Patchism.—From the last Downingtown Spectator, we learn that about two thousand spectators assembled at CoateSville, on the 4th inst., to witness a man named Abner Sterne, a laborer on the rail way, make nn aerial flight or leap, with the assistance of a parachute, from the bridge erected over the Brandywine. He took his seat in the parachute, displaying evi dent feelings of regret at his undertaking, and descended to the waters below, a distance of one hundred feet. He received no injury, and on reaching the shore received a warm embrace from a colored woman, who watched the feat with peculiar interest BANK INVESTIGATION. From the subjoined correspondence between the Senate Committee of Finance and the Bank of the United States, which we find in the la^t Richmond Whig, it will be seen that this able and industrious Committee of the Senate, act ing under a resolution of that body, have noti fied the Bank of their intention to make a tho rough research into the affairs and condition of the Bank; and that the proposition to do so has been cheerfully met by that institution. In re ply to the letter from the Committee on Finance, detailing the various matters which it proposes to make the subject of inquiry, President Bid dle, by order of the Board of Directors, inform^ the committee that they will very promptly and cheerfully give every facility within their power” to the proposed investigation. The Richmond Whig copies the resolution of the Senate making it the duty of the Finance Committee to prosecute their inquiries; but we omit this, as the communication made by the Committee to the Bank is sufficiently explicit. It is as follows.—Buff. Pat. Philadelphia, July 7th, 1831. i To the President and Directors of the Bank of the United States. j Gentlemen: We enclose you a copy of a re I solution, passed by the Senate of the United States, on the 30th June, by which, you will per ceive, it is made our duty to execute certain in quiries in relation to the Bank of the United Slates. These inquires are: 1. Whether the Bank has violated its charter. 2. Whether the monies of the United State'! now remaining in the Bank, are safe. 3. What has been the conduct of the Dank since 1832, in regard to the successive exten sions and curtailments of its loans and dis counts, and its dealings in domestic or internal bills of exchange. 4. And what has been the general conduct and management since that period. We shall enter upon these inquiries at some period before the next meeting of Congress, and shall endeavor to obtain the most full and ample information upon all and each of the points enumerated in the instructions of the Se nate. To this end, it will be necessary that the Books of the Bank should be freely subject to our in spection; and that we should be furnished whh all suen accounts, statements, abstracts and ex hibits as we may deem useful and proper. The time of commencing the examination will ho hereafter communicated to you. But, in order to facilitate our labor, and enable us to go through it with more dispatch, when we shall again meet, we have now to request that the following statements or tables he made out aim forwarded, as soon as convenient, to the Chair man of the Committee. 1.

They have instructed me to inform you in re ply, that they will very promtly and cheerfully give every facility within their power to the in Vfcstigation you propose. Having not the h-nst motive nor wish to withhold the most complet'* information of all their proceedings, but on the contrary, being desirous of giving to them eve ry publicity consistent with the rights and inter ests of other parties, they will freely submit all their books to the inspection of tlw Committee, and furnish every assistance which may be re quired. They take the liberty of suggesting that the private accounts of individuals with this bank, as with all similar institutions, are re garded as confidential, and feel full confidence that the Committee will, in no case, make pub lic the state of such accounts, unless to do so becomes necessary by reason of some imputed misconduct or infraction of the charter. Thev further suggest that if, in the progress of this examination, the Committee see renson to sup pose that any violation of the charter of tl« Bank has been committed, the Committee wnl deem it a matter of common right and justice, that the nature of the alleged violation should be suggested to the Board of Directors, iu or der that they may lay before the Committee al! the facts and explanations respecting such ullc ged violation. The statemenfs requested by the Committee will be immediately prepared and forwarded lu the Chairman; and whenever it shall be tin* pleasure of the Committee to proceed, the Board of Directors will be ready and willing t-» render every aid in the most unlimited investi gation of the concerns of the Bank.

It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases theapain and draws the fire out in a l short time. i For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel i lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to ttie m-dical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plications. (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand* ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES.

Sir—My son having been afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my resch without success, I at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to the directions ac companying the Ointment, and state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health ever since.. 1 have no doubt that totlie Ointment alone he is indebted; for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment.

P. LEE. Bai.T!KO»i, August, 1828. Doctor S.*H. P. Lax, New London, Conn. Dxab Sia—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my tarai 1y, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most everv description of disease, and believe they ved many' a long doctor** bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certai nty t o 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, 1 began to conclude that you had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful bands. Under this impression, 1 accidentally aaw an advertisement of yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitation* from your own manufacture, by having} our WHITTEN 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 respoct- Finding those l bad without this test, I be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well asia politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written aignature. 1 found many without this test, but none with it, until I 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 se* fin sspoaseiun of a medicine I so highly prize, that thst 1 cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information. rxy To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering «ach box, and if signed at foot, in my own hand writing, im mediately under my pnnted name, they are genuine, and prepared by met but if omlt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided. S. H. P. LEE, New London, Conn. Dec. 1823. HYGEIANXSM. THE following testimonial* of the superior efficacy of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the cure of our disease*, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical: Brows UsivaRatrr, Dec.25, I8o3* To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the H)g-?ian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the Suae of Rhode Island. Sir—Gratitude to the Greal Preserver of Men com pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, l received from the Hygeian Medicines. I gWe publicity to the same the more cheerfully,- because thereby, perhaps, I maV be useful to seme of my fellow-men, who may be afflicted with a similar disease, j My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, I and that my real condition maybe explicitly under {stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the l cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832,! caught a severe cold, which settled on i my lungs; I ufks confined to my room about one week, with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining my health; when, after about three weeks, in the course of the night, having returned the evening be fore in usual health, I found myself bleedmg at the lungs, I had not, to j-y knowledge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. I apat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap petite, and withal, very weak. A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check the pi ogress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. Hut rehpse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of sn approaching dissolution. Thus, months after the first stuck, a tubercle" [small ul cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I spat blood, one day. I continued to decline twomonths longer, when I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. 1 had now been unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and a half. My feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound, cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi nute, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, attended with some cough. Ac. Ac. Such was my i condition, when I first became acquainted with the Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a dose, and increased the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten days, my appetite became good, and food produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly all disappeared. I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night, averaging sbout 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 pills when I found myself restored to health. After I commenced the Hygiian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I was able to resume my studi-s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease. Hitherto 1 have been convalescent; aiul if my strength is nut yet fully returned, I am certain 1 have less pains, and am more free from temporary •ickness, than ot any time aince my earliest recollec tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE. I On II. SnsrHCARD Moat. l)enr Sir—1 wrah to state that my sinter, after severe suffering, and employing a medical man three years, 1 was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pair, and soreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her ->s on one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she.eould not sit up for upwards of three years* It was occasioned by over-lacing hers o If, and perhaps, over-exertion uith it. After using a few, doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she is now restored to health; and I have no objection to this caste being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, H.
