The packet ship Virginia, Captain Harris, has arrived at New York, from Liverpool, whence she sailed on Sunday, the 8th of June. ENGLAND. In the House of Lords on the 6th, a discus sion was brought on by some observations touching the new organization of the ministry, which will be found below. The Times of the 7th June remarks upon the subject thus; It is clear from the deprecatory tone adopt ed by Lord Grey towards the close of his speech in reply to the Earl of Wicklow, and when speaking of possible collisions between the Houses of Lords and Commons, that the noble Earl is conscious of holding the reins of power no otherwise than at the will and pleasure of the Conservative partv, and that whether in cases of local or general reforms—whether in that of the Warwick Election Bill, or of the promised measure for the reform of the Church of Ire 1 and—the determination of the Tory Lords is, that nothing shall be done which Ministers pro pose to do. Lord Grey and his party have al ready avowed their fear of the House of Lords, and the propriety of yielding to their wishes. The House will giv§ the Ministers plenty of op portunties of submission; but is this a position for any minister with a heart in his body to stand oar Two other discussions, of no little interest to the British public, arose during the same sit ting, one of which related to the speech which his Majesty is reported to have recently made to the bishops; the other to the Irish Commis sion, and to the conduct of Government in the matters out of which the issuing of that com mission has arisen. The speech here referred to, was that reported to have been made by the king, on his birth-day. to the Archbishop of Can terbury, in reply to the birth-day address of con gratulation from the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church Establishment. The London Times says the authenticity of that address, which had been questioned, must now’ be con ceded. It contends, that although the king as sumed the responsibility of that address, as his own, in all respects, it was nevertheless a po litical act.” And inasmuch as a king of Eng land can do no political act for which some mi nister ought not to be held responsible,” it is contended that the ministers ought in the face of parliament either to avow or disavow it.

House of Lords, June 5. Portugal.—The Marquis of Londonderry trusted that the noble Earl opposite (Grey) would not think him guilty of any want of cour tesy in putting the questions he did last night while the noble Earl was absent. He was aware* at least he learned from the sources of information that were open to all, that lately the noble Earl had like to have been thrown from his seat; from the same sources, however, he now learned that he had nearly got firmly seated in his saddle again—(laughter.) He trusted the questions he had to put w’ould not cause any inconvenience. He wished most dis tinctly to ask whether Don Pedro had been at all touched with gratitude to the English gov ernment and the other parties to the treaty, and whether he had fully ratified it or not? They had seen in the public journals that the ratifica tion had been received; he now put it to the no ble Earl whether it had been received in such a shape as to be laid on the table of the House? He asked that question because he understood that there was one article in the treaty which stipulated that Don Pedro should be allowed to govern in Portugal for only a limited time, at the expiration of which he was to leave the country, and that that article had so enraged the Don that he had totally expunged it. He would only add that, in his opinion, the Minis try were never so far wrong as when they ex pected that the treaty could give peace and quiet to Portugal. Earl Grey said he perfectly acquitted the no ble marquis of any want ofcourtesy on the pre sent occasion. He, however, thought that it would have been much more convenient, not only to the house, but to the noble marquis him self to have simply asked the questions, and left any observations to be made after he had received the answer to them, because if he had done so, he would not have fallen into so absurd a position as he then occupied, he having based those observations upon that which had no foundation except in the mind of the noble marquis himself. The question stood thus; he (Karl Grey) expected to have been able to have laid the papers on the table before that time, and would have done so, but for what he was assured was a mere accident. The ratification of the treaty had been received from Portugal, but it was found on comparing them that there was an omission in it (hear, hear;) but that omission was not, as the noble marquis seemed to anticipate, that of an article of the nature stated by him. It was the omission of the pre amble. (Cheers.) The Portuguese minister in this country had assured them that it was from mere accident. The ratifications had been sent out to Portugal, with the understanding that they should not be acted upon till the omis sion was supplied. He (Earl Grey) had no hesitation in saying to the noble marquis that the article to which he had alluded never had existence except in the information which had been given to the noble lord. He was most sorry that the mistake had occurred, but believed it to be the effect of in advertence. At the same time it was impossi ble to lay it before the House as an authentic document. The moment he received it in pro per form, it would be laid on the table. With respect to the general observation made by the noble marquis, whether it was calculated to en sure the peace or extend the evil so long exist ing, the noble marquis might be a better judge on the subject than himself; but he thought no rational mind could form any other than the opinion that it would promote the peace. The Marquis of Londonderry said he under stood the noble earl had promised to lay the treaty on the table during the present session of parliament, and if that were so, he should be satisfied. The Duke of Wellington had heard with surprise that the treaty had been ratified with an omission in it. His grace thought that it was impossible this country could be bound by it Earl Grey observed that the noble duke was under a misconception. What he stated was this:—In consequence of an omission in the preamble, it was found necessary to suspend the ratification; and, until the omission was sup plied, the treaty would have no effect. On this omission being discovered, the Portuguese Min ister said he was empowered to exchange the ratification; but if the Portuguese government did not correct the omission, the ratification would have no effect. The Marquis of Londonderry wished to have the document laid on the table; and unless the noble earl would produce it as it was he should give notice of a motion. Earl Grey said it was impossible ministers could ask his Majesty to deliver such a docu ment to Parliament. (Hear.) The Duke of Wellington said there could be no doubt it would be irregular to produce it. The subject then dropped. House of Lords—June 6. Ministerial Changes.—The Duke of Newcas tle was anxious, before proceeding to the or der of the day, to address a few words to their lordships on a subject which he had hoped would have called forth the attention of some other noble lord better qualified than himself to do it justice—he alluded to the late changes i in the Administration. He w’as very desirous their lordships should be rightly informed as to the precise footing on which the present or the about-to-be-completed Cabinet would stand.— I He feared he must conclude, judging from cir j cumstances, which were too notorious, that it was formed on principles entirely adverse to the established church of the country (hear,) and if any thing were necessary to confirm that belief, it was the cession ot certain members from the Cabinet, who had retired in a manner highly honorable to themselves, refusing to par-j ticipate in those measures of spoliation and in- justice which their colleagues in a manner so frightful and reckless had determined to pursue, which justly exposed them to the malediction of; the present generation and of all who should come after them. (Hear.) If he was right in his judgment that the present administration was formed on principles entirely hostile to the estab- lished church, then there arose a strange and j I most alarming discrepancy. Their lordsnips had no doubt read a speech i which had been pronounced by His Most Gra- j j cious Majesty to the bishops on a late interest ing occasion—(hear, hear)—a speech which he (the Duke of Newcastle) rejoiced and exulted i in saying that it was quite worthy the son of his i gracious and venerated sire, (hear, hear,) and that was the highest eulogium which could by possibility be pronounced. (Hear, hear.)— What did that speech prove? It proved beyond all contradiction this important fact, that his Majesty was firmly attached to the religious in stitutions of his country, and that it was his fix ed purpose decidedly to maintain them. On the one side they had an Administration formed on the decisive principles of opposition, insult in injury, and persecution to the Church ol Eng land, and on the other, a Sovereign determined to uphold the religion and established church of the country, as he was, in fact, bound to do so by his most solemn asseveration. (Hear, hear In those circumstances, he did not think he should apologize to their lordships for calling on His Majesty’s Government to explain to that house, and to lav before the country at the pre sent critical Juncture of affairs, the grounds on which their Administration was formed to be conducted, and to ask them whether they were prepared to violate the conscience of their So vereign. Earl FrrzwiLMAM rose to order. He appealed to noble lords more conversant than himself with the forms of that house, whether the strain in which the noble duke was proceeding was quite consistent with its established and recog nized orders? The noble duke had asked whe ther the present Cabinet, or that about to be formed, was prepared to call upon His Majesty to violate his conscience, having in a former part of his speech quoted the name of an exalt ed personage in a manner which certainly ap peared to him (Earl Fitzwilliam) to trench very much upon freedom of debate, and the usually recognized forms of the house, (Hear, hear.)— It was therefore a matter ot very grave consi deration whether the course pursued by the no ble duke was likely to conduce either to due order of procedure, or to maintain the proper freedom and independence of that house, (Hear, hear.) Lord Kenyon rose to order. The noble earl (Fitzwilliam) had not interfered at the proper time. Had the noble Earl interfered when the name of His Majesty was first introduced, he might have been quite consistent in calling the noble duke to order. But the noble earl not having then interfered, and having allowed the noble duke to proceed in his statement, and di rect a question to his Majesty’s Government, it was not competent for the noble earl to inter fere. Nothing could be more proper or consti tutional than for any peer of that House to call on his Majesty’s Ministers to explain the grounds on which their Administration was formed, and the principles by which they w’ould be regulat ed. (Hear.) Earl Fitzwilliam was much obliged for the admission of the noble Lord, that it was com petent for him, when the name of His Majesty was introduced to call the noble duke to order. (Criesof “No, No,” from Lord Kenyon.) He would explain what he meant. Lord Kenyon.—The noble earl is not speak ing to order, and therefore has no right to speak at all. The Duke of Newcastle, resumed. He should not have introduced the name of his Ma jesty, but that it was absolutely necessary, how ever unwilling he was to do so; and certainly the name of his Majesty had been in that house more improperly used on former occasions.— (Hear, Hear.)—He would therefore press the question, whether it was the intention of go vernment to attempt to control hi3 majesty, and induce him to forswear his most solemn engage ments. (Cries of “Hear, hear,” and Order, order.”) The Karl of Mulgrave felt great unwilling ness to interrupt the ndble Duke, but he felt so lemnly that the course the noble Duke was pur suing was utterly at variance ivith the recogniz ed orders of the House. The name of his Ma jesty should not be introduced on such an occa sion; and therefore he put it to the noble Duke generally to their proceed in a course himself, without appeatm lordships, whether he shoul which he himself must acknowledge was at va riance with the established rules of that House. (Loud cries of Hear.”) Earl Grey then rose and said—Nobody, my lords, is more ready than 1 am to adroit the privi lege which every noble lord possesses, of ask ing, upon any occasion, questions of any mem ber of His Majesty’s Government, nor shall I be found unwilling to answer those questions when properly put. I must however say on the 1 present occasion, that the question itself is a ve ry strange and extraordinary one, and that the grounds on which it is founded are altogether inconsistent with the orders of your lordship s house. (Hear, hear.) The noble duke first of all says, that there is what he calls a decrepan cy between certain declarations said to have been made by His Majesty and the constitution of the present administration. My lords, with respect to the speech supposed to have been delivered by His Majesty 1 can say nothing, not having advised His Majesty—being in no way responsible for it—not knowing by whom it was reported, or on what authority it rests; I can say nothing but this—that if that speech de clares His Majesty’s determination to uphold the church, 1 am certain it expressed truly the feelings and determination of His Majesty on that important point. (Hear, hear.) My lords, give me leave further to sav, with respect to the inference which the noble duke appears to draw, from what premises I know not, that there is in the constitution of the pre sent administration something inconsistent with that declaration of the Sovereign to support the church, I must beg leave to give his assertion the most positive contradiction. (Loud cheers from all parts of the house.) But the noble duke has referred to the secession of some individu als lately members of His Majesty’s Adminis tration. Nobody, my lords, regrets that seces sion—nobody has both upon personal and pub lic grounds more reason to regret it than 1 have. But I am sure, that, in leaving His Majesty’s councils upon grounds which, in conscience, in honor, ana in duty, they found themselves com pelled to act, they will give me credit for ait equally sincere desire, (“hear, hear,” from the Duke of Richmond)—though on certain points of opinion I may differ from them. I say an equally sincere desire with themselves to uphold and secure the interests ol the Pro testant establishment in these realms. (Cheers.) More than this, my lords, I will not say on the present occasion, as we may soon, possibly on this very night, have an opportunity of going more into the circumstances connected with this subject; but I must protest distinctly and decidedly against any interpretation which the noble duke or any other peer may put upon the changes that have unfortunately lately taken place in His Majesty’s Councils, leadin'' to the conclusion that there is in those who remain in His Majesty’s confidence any other than a sincere and conscientious desire to maintain by all the means in their power, inviolate, in effi ciency, in dignity, and in usefulness, the estab lished church of these kingdoms. (Cheers.) So much, my lords, in reply to the general as sertion of the noble duke; but l must be allow ed to say, tnat the manner in which the question was put was most extraordinary. For what was the question? The noble duke called up on me, unworthily placed as 1 am at the head of His Majesty’s councils, to answer a question which I believe never before entered into the mind of any man but that of the noble duke himself—namely whether the Administration had been formed on the principle of forcing His Majesty’s conscience? (Hear, hear.) Is it possible, my lords, that the noble duke could have thought of seriously proposing such a question (hear, hear,) or that there could have been any but one answer to it? (Hear, hear.) The noble duke may think the measures of his Majesty’s government inconsistent with the du ties which they owe to their sovereign, their country, and the established church. He may condemn those measures as loudly and vehe mently as he pleases; but can he believe that any man could deliberately entertain the inten tion which he ascribes to his Majesty’s govern ment, or.give any answer but one—that they ne ver had attempted, and never could attempt, to apply any force to liis Majesty’s conscience? (Loud cheers.) My lords, I can answer for it, if sucli an attempt were made by any member of the present Administration, or of any other Ad ministration, to propose to his Majesty any thing which he thought inconsistent with the duties which he owes to the people as their protector and father, the Sovereign would at once reject such a proposition with indignation, and would not suffer such an individual to continue for one instant longer in his Royal confidence. [Loud cheers.j My lords, I have thought it necessary to say this much in answer to the noble duke’s question —u question which I think altogether improper (hear, hear,)—a question, which, I think, is founded on grounds far from consistent with the orders and rules of this house; and, having answered it, I may now say that I am ready to meet any charge which the noble duke or any other peer is prepared to bring against me; and if the noble duke thinks His Mujesty’s present Ministers are unworthy the confidence of this house, the proper course which he is bound in honor, and 1 think in duty, to take, would be to move an address to His Majesty, praying that he would be graciously pleased to remove them from his councils—(hear, hear,) a motion, my lords, which I shall be prepared to meet, and to act on the result in such a manner, as in duty and conscience bound. (Loud and general cheers.) AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL. The affairs of this distracted kingdom will now be speedily and happily adjusted. “It is clear that public opinion is now more favorable to Don Pedro than it has ever been since his ar rival in Portugal. Even the ministers, by agree ing to the quadruple treaty,have redeemed a grent deal of the feeling that existed against them. Don Miguel had ordered, five months ago, that all the money remaining in the divers depots of all the provinces should be carried to Elvas, so that the government of the young Q,ueen will there find considerable treasure. It is supposed that Don Miguel will proceed in a British ship of war to Leghorn, and not, as was supposed, go to England. So long ago as the 14th of May, Don Carlos wrote to Admiral Parker for per mission to embark in an English man of war for Italy.” We are glad to learn, says the London Globe of the 6lh June, that the affairs of Portugal be ing satisfactorily settled, several natives of that country who had till now remained in England are preparing to return to their native laryl. The first indication of the breaking up of Mi guel’s army is said to have been occasioned by the perusal of copies of the quadruple treaty, forwarded to some of his officers at Santarem by their friends in the Constitutional army.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE! The public feeling has been exceedingly shocked and pained by an occurrence of a most tragical and excitingcharacter, which took place in the town of Hampton on Wednesday last: we allude to a rencontre between Major John B. Cooper, of Hampton, and Thomas B. Allen, Esq. of York county, in which the former drew a pistol and shot the latter through the heart, who expired in three minutes after! Of what occurred previous to this fatal and despe-1 rate act we have no certain information. It is 1 generally known that an embittered state of feeling has, for some time, existed in Hampton, produced by a controversy about the Academy in that town, which has most unhappily divided the whole community into parties, and the feel ing has, in many cases, extended to their friends in the neighboring country. A feud engender ed from this cause is understood to have existed between the parties to the affair of which we are speaking, but whether instigated by that, or some other and more recent provocation, w’e have not heard. Mr. Allen had arrived in town that morning, writh his wife and children, with the intention of taking a trip in the steam boat Old Dominion, which had been advertised to go on a party of pleasure to the Capes, but un expectedly meeting with some business which demanded his immediate attention, he was hin dered from going, and he and his family re mained in town and dined at Mrs. Collier’s. [Mrs. C’s residence is near the eastern termina tion of the “Cross Street” leading to the Draw Bridge]—A little after three o’clock, Mr. Allen, having dined, left his wife in the porch, and tak ing his two little sons along with him, one in each hand, walked up the street. When he had Eroceeded about 80 or 100 yards, he was met y Major Cooper and his eldest son, Mr. Geo. W. Cooper, when high words ensued between him and the elder C.—There were two young men icshort distance off who w’ere examined before the inquest, one of whom we are inform ed, deposed that Mr. Allen struck Maj. Cooper several times with his fist; while the other stat ed that Maj. C. struck the first blow. Much an gry altercation is related as having passed be tween the parties, which we do not feel author ised to repeat. Of what succeeded, however, we have had a distinct account from two gentle men who were passing in the stage for Old Point, at the critical moment. They had very little more than caught a view of the parties before Major Cooper drew out the pistol, Mr. Allen’s two children, who were standing by him, ut tered a cry of terror and ran off, exclaiming, Oh! he is going to shoot father!” Our infor mants saw, indeed, the pistol levelled at Mr. Al lan’s breast, but had no idea that it w’as with fell intent, (not knowing what had previously occurred,) and supposed that it was done in playfulness, merely to see what effect it would have on the children: their astonishment and horror may be conceived, therefore, when they heard the report of the pistol, und saw Maj. C. raise a blugdeon, which he had with him, and strike Allen (who had not fallen from the effect of the shot) to the ground, by repeated blows? All this, of course passed in less time than w’e have taken in describing it. and the scene was closed to our informants by the rapid move ment of the stage. We since learn that the verdict of the Inquest on the body of the deceased Mr. Allen, is, that his death was caused by the discharge of a pis tol fired by John B. Cooper. After the perpetration of the fatal deed, Ma jor Cooper retired to his dwelling unmolested, and, we are informed, remained there until the Inquest had convened, when he left the town. A guard of the citizens we learn, went off in pursuit of him; though it is said to be his inten tion to surrender himself to justice, as soon as the excitement of the moment has abated. [Norfolk Her.

EXPOSITIONS” Since the defeat of Mr. Ellicott, late President of the Union Bank of Maryland, (Pet,) a great stir has continued to be made in Baltimore in relation to Bank matters. Mr. Evan Poultney, the late President ot the Bank of Maryland, has published, in the form of an affidavit, a small pamphlet of eight pages, entitled A Brief Exposition of Matters relating to the Bank of Maryland.” To enable our readers to guess the scope and character of this Exposition,—which is proba bly a substitute for that lately promised by the then President of the Union Bank,—we make the following extract from Mr. Poultney’s ad dress to the public; with which his avouched statement is prefaced: To the Public.—The gross misrepresentations of my conduct in the Bank Qf Maryland, have induced me to publish the annexed affidavit, that the public may see that the very persons who are most clamorous in denouncing me, had as much agency and control over the trans actions of that Bank as I had. From the friend ly relations which subsisted between the gentle men who were my former partners and myself, I was willing to bear in silence the censure heap ed upon me by persons who knew nothing of the affair, without disclosing who were the real agents in all the visionary speculations in which the Bank embarked. But when the joint au thors of all the mischief, for the purpose of di verting public attention trom themselves, arc traducing me in every quarter, I think I cannot be censured for informing the public who are responsible for the mismanagement of the Bank of Maryland. Although we were jointly con cerned, yet such was my reliance on my part ners, that they had absolute control over the affairs of the Bank. In reply to this pamphlet, the following Card has been issued: To the Public.—Evan Poultney, formerly Pre sident of the Bank of Maryland, and now under indictment for peculating the funds of that in stitution, having just circulated a pamphlet term ed A Brief Exposition of Matters relating to the Bank of Maryland;” in which the names of the undersigned, and those of several other gen tlemen, have been introduced, evidently for the purpose, not so much of vindicating himself, to reduce the gentlemen referred to and our selves to the same state of miserable degrada tion to which he has been brought by his own unexampled turpitude; it is due to ourselves and to the public, that we should ask them to sus pend all opinion upon the subject, until we can present them with the history of our connection with the Bank referred to. Unless other per sons who have fully examined into the matter, as well as ourselves, are grossly deceived, it will not be difficult to establish that, from first to last, Poultney. and those who are now advising him, had adopted a regular and organized plan to enrich themselves at the public expense, in total violation of every principle of common ho nesty, and that it was carried out with a bold ness nnd indecency at which the most callous conscience would have been shocked.

Id the last mentioned condition of the system, tne Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poisoo, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Relfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in caaea of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples on the face—festering eruptions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface! and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors.

For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the most approved remedies ever yet discovered is DR RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and innocent preparation, hat effected thorough and rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advane edit a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter mination of the disorder.

Unexampled success has hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity. _ Price fl for who/e boxes of 30 pills, and 50 cents for half do. ol 12 pills, with directions.

SHEPHERD’S patent specific OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HER STUNS, near Frederick town, Maryland. Kicaxovn. Va- July 15, 1830. THE public will be pleased to understand that 1 was the original discoverer of Judkins’ Ointment, and j sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same; but, having connect-j ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I i permitted the Ointment tc bear 'his name. Tbe term of the patent having expired on the 26tn June, 1 have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa- j tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. imposition having been practised upon the nub j lie by a spurious article, bearing tbe name of jud- j kins* Ointment,’’ the proprietor avails himself of the Authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I aent it to several physicians, with instructions in wnat cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oinv 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 progsted in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted. Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulcetated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic painsofthe joints; _ 6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description, or m whatever part situate; i 7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part i out of water; 8th Chilblainsorpartsaffectedby frost. It is also one of the beat remedies for burns anu scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lin^s, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the medical 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 ins'. 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 canes, incretse 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. Promthc Fh>n. John Cache, Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress.

Uv 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.

Sib—It has been my wish, fora considerable time, to communicate to you the good effect with which I have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins, and which I now understand is made and sold by agents appointed by yourself, I have applied this j Ointment during the last three years to every species j of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure in every iustauce. I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause wbatit may; and I have found nothing so good for wounds of any description. It may be proper to add, that the cure of atumorcalled white swelling, given over by the most distinguished physicians as in curable. and which th decided would, withoutampu tation, prove fataito the patient, was, under my imme diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins’ Ointment, and the patient is in fine health- His limb affected by the tumor being restored to a perfect state of sound ness. Also that the leg ofan aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the foot, ana which, for more thantwo years,bad been considered incurable, wasef fectually.cured by the application of Judkins’ Oint ment. I mention these two cases, whichfellundermy immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy of this remedy in cases of tumor andofulcersi I have expe.ieuced, as decidedly, the good effect of this remedy in the cure of Felons, and of every species of fresh wound. Itseemsto me that any one who wll observe on the operation of this Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect.

S. H. P. LEE, New London, Conn. Dec. 1823. HTOEIANI3M. THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the cure of our diseases, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:— Bbow.x Uiriv*a8iTT, Dec. 25, 1833. To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the Slate of Rhode Island. Sib—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels me, io compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, 1 received from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly under j stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the i cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was 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 bleeding at the lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four daya; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap petite, and withal, very weak. A few weeks determined that 1 was in a decline. I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, j who often seemed to check the progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. But rel*p»c upon relapse, and each bringing me lower j than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus, months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I spat blood, one day. I continued to decline twomontbs longer, when j I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. I had now been I unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and a 1 half. My feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound, i cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy five to one hundred per mi nute, food produced great d'Stress, appetite very i poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, 1 attended with some cough, &c. he. Such was my 1 condition, when I first became acquainted with the j 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 silty days regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, 1 took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored to health. After 1 commenced the Hygeian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I wss able to resume my studies in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the diser.se Hitherto 1 have been convalescent; and it mj strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I have less pain«, and am more free from temporary sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE; On II Shci'Hcard Most. Dear Sir—l wish to state that my sister, after «evere 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 os on one side haJ 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 heri o If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After u«ing a few, doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills for a dose, the pain decreiaed, and, by perseverance in their use, she is 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. Injustice to Dr. M.. tier 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 herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the most tenJer age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi asnnt and benign in its 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 hy 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, ot exhaustion of bodily s'rength, and without the tear of catching cold, orattention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits.
