Hopeless of relief, in a reduced situation, abandoned by his friends,and seek ing alms of the public, whose eye must revolt at a sight which would shock the finer feelings of mankind; at this time, fortunately for this ob ject of pity, Dr. H. felt confident that he was his j Creator’s instrument to effect his cure, and is now a living witness of the truth of this asser tion, by proper medicine, properly applied.

The destruction of the Ursuline Convent j at Charlestown, (Mass.) was effected, we are j at least glad to learn, without the additional, crime of causing death or injury to any of its i inmates. By the account we annex, it will be seen that our reliance upon the liberal and man- j ly feelings of New England to avenge and re-; pair so base and cowardly an outrage, was not misplaced. The result of the meeting at Fa— neuil Hall abundantly testifies, that the guilty,! if detected, will not lightly escape; and that the; sufferers will, so tar as pecuniary loss is in ques-; tiou, be amply indemnified. As to the immediate actors in the mob, they j were, we presume, composed of that worthless portion of population which, in greater or less numbers, is to be found in the purlieu? of eve- j ty city—made bold, we do not doubt, by the im punity with which the riots of New York were suff ?red to pass. On that head we copy and adopt the annexed sentiments of the Journal of Commerce: u It the effects of this riot, and of the late riots in this city, do not open the eyes of the Ameri can people, we know not what will. At the rate things are going, the time is at hand when all public buildings, and indeed all private ones, will exist only- at the pleasure of the mob. The question is, not whether Convents are a good thing, or whether immediate abolition is a good thing, but whether we live under a government of laws, and whether those laws are adequate to the protection of the lives and property of our citizens. It is, whether persons accused of crime, are to be punished by a mob, or by the constituted authorities of the land: whether men and women are to be protected in the exercise of their* religion—or are to do it at the peril of all they hold clear in life.” The exasperation of the Catholics at the ue struction of the Convent might, it was for a time feared at Cambridge, lead to retaliation, by the destruction of the College buildings in that town; and measures of precaution were accordingly taken. The universal sentiment of indignation, however, with which tiie atrocities of the Charlestown mob were viewed, would, it is not to he doubted, satisfy every mind, that as a community, all felt alike aggrieved by such proceedings, and thus the resentment of those more inmv’diotelv- aggrieved would be disarm ed.— .Vetc iork t ' vious to tiiis. .however, the H. G. Otis rose to addr- -s the meeting ate dst the most deafening 1 approve, wf, el; w is more than once repeated iii the course ol his most animated and eloquent remarks. It was pleasant once again to meet tlii« splendid orator on the theatre of his youth ful glory, and totally unprepared as he w as, we must sav we have seldom, if ever, heard him to greater advantage. 1 here was me same music in his voice, the same elegance in his ges tures. the same beauty and felicity of expres sion for which he has long and so justly been conspicuous. The frost of age was on his brow, but the glow of youthful ardor was still prcdo minent at his heart, and the thunders of ap plause,which made old Fancuil ring again, were sufficient evidence that he still occupies the same hieh place in the affections of his fellow citizens, it was indeed a cheering sight to see with what alacrity the people of ail ages and descriptions, came forth in the support of law and order and for the suppression of a lawless and unprinci pled mob; and we can have no doubt that the praiseworthy exertions of our excellent May* or in this emergency, will be met with a coi res ponding feeling on the part of his fellow citi zens. Resolved, That in the opinion of the citizens of Boston, the late attack on the Ursulioe Con ventinCharlestown occupied only by defenceless females, was a base and cow ardiy act, for which the perpetrators deserve the contempt and de testation of the community. Resolved, That the destruction of property, and danger of life caused thereby, call loudly on all good citizens to express individually and collectively the abhorrence they feel of this high handed violation of the laws. Resolved, That we, the Protestant citizens of Boston, do pledge ourselves collectively and in dividually to unite with our Catholic brethren in protecting their persons, their proprerty, their ci-1 vil and religions rights. I Resolved, That the Mayor and A'dermen be requested to take all measures consistent with law to carry the foregoing resolutions into el- I feet, and as citizens we tender our personal _r vices to support the laws under the direction of the City Authorities. n„a. ,,nnn i Resolved, That the Mayor he r^estedtono minate a committee, of 28, from the c,t1^ large, to investigate the proceedings of oe last night, and to adopt every suitable mode of bringing the authors and abettors of tins outrag t0Resolved, That the Mayor be authorized and requested to offer a very liberal reward to any individual who, in case of further excesses, will arrest and bring to punishment a leader in such outrages. On motion of Mr. George Bond, the commit tee of twenty-eight were requested to consider the expediency of providing funds to repair the damage done to the Convent. j The following persons compose the Commit tee the proposed in above resolution: i H. G. Otis, John D. Williams, James T. Aus tin, Henry Lee, James Clark, Cyrus Alger. John 1 Henshaw, Francis J. Oliver, Mark Healey, j Charles G. Loring. C. G. Greene, Isaac Harris, Thus. H. Perkins, I. Rayner, Henry Gasset, Da niel D. Brodhead, Noah Brooks, H. F. Baker, 1 Z.Cook, jr., GeorgeDaracott, Samuel Hubbard, j Henry Farnum, Benj. F. Hallet, John K. Simp son, John Cotton,Benj. Rich, William Stuigis, C. P. Curtis. Fears were entertained yesterday that there j would be fresh disturbance^ last evening. It j was reported that the Irish laborers on the Wor- j cester, Lowell, and Providence Rail Roads I were on their way to the city, in great numbers, for the purpose of aiding their Irish brethren in j avenging the insult that was offered to them by the destruction of the Catholic Seminary at Charleston n. It is true, we believe, that seve ml hundred of these laborers arrived in the city last evening; but we have hoard ol no acts of violence on their part, or from any other quar ter. The evening passed off" quietly, at least so far as this city is concerned, although the streets were thronged until a late hour. We have rare ly seen so muny people abroad as there were last evening. Much credit is due to Bishop Fenwick, for the exertions he made to dissuade the Catholics from all acts of retaliatory' violence. He de spatched five or six priests in different direc tions during the afternoon, to intercept the la borers who were known to be on their way to Boston, and to instruct them not to raise a fin ger in defence of what they considered their vio lated rights. This" was a judicious movement, considering the unparalleled state of excite ment into which our citizens have been sud denly thrown, by' the outrageous conduct of a portion of the people of Cambridge and Charlestown. We understand that all the Independent Light Infantry Companies were under arms all night, prepared with ball cartridges to act in any emer gency which might require their services ‘Hundreds of respectable citizens were also “on j hand,” to aid the civil and militaiy authorities, j Most sincerely do we hope there may be no oe casion for them to act. I So great was the excitement among the Cath olics yesterday, that Bishop Fenwick deemed it I necessary to cailthem together in the afternoon, t at the Church in Franklin stieet. At 6 o’clock, sevoiul hundred weie assembled, when the Bish- j op came in and addressed them for about thirty j i minutes in a most eloquent and judicious man- ner. He deserves the warmest commendation 1 from his Protestant fellow-ctlizens for the admi jrable style in which he managed his business. Previous to speaking, the Bishop read a part of the tilth chapter m Matthew, containing the fob lowing among other verses: “You have heard that it hath been said, An i eye, for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I I say to you, not to resist evil: but if one strike j thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other: I “And if a man will contend with thee in judg ment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him. And whosoever will force thee one mile, go with him other two. I You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shall lore thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that per secute and calumniute you.” Bishop Fenwick then proceeded to address his hearers, embracing several hundred of both sexes. He spoke of the Ursuline Convent and the adjacent buildings. He spoke also of its beauty and utility and its growing popularity among the intelligent classes, both in this vicini ty ana at a distance. Among the pupils of the in stitution were some from Louisiana, and the West India Islands. After denouncing the con duct of the incendiaries in appropriate terms, he asked, What is to be done? Shall we say to our enemies, you have destroyed our build ings, and we will destroy yours? No, my breth ren, this is not the religion of Jesus Christ—this is not in accordance with the spirit of that bless ed religion we all profess. Turn not a finger in your own defence, and there are those around you who will see that justice is done you.” The Bishop then complimented the City Au thorities and others tor the stand they had ta ken in defence of the rights of the Catholics; and he assured his hearers that they had the sympathies of all respectable citizens. The destruction of the Convent, he said, was an act of the most degraded of the human species, and it met with rio favor from the intelligent people of Boston. He impressed upon tl.e minds of his Catholic brethren the fact that it was not their duty to seek revenge for this vile act; and said that that man was an enemy to the religion J he professed, and would put the Catholic Cf.uich j in jeopardy, who should raise a finger against their opponents at triis tune. The Bishop said he had no fears that tln*%e who were present would act in opposition to his j advice; and if any acts of violence were coin- j mitted, it would be by those who, with, perhaps, a commendable ardor and alacrity, weie rush ing to their aid from a distance, and who may not have correct information on the subject. He enjoined it upon all present as a solemn duty: to inform these individuals—if they should fall in with any of them—of what he had said, and the advice he had just given them. He concluded his admirable remarks—which were delivered in a most impressive manner— by assuring his hearers that the Public Autho rities were not idle spectators of what was pass ing. They are on the alert, (said he) and it is out-duty to remain quiet, to remain peaceable, and they will see you righted. We hope the Bishop will furnish us with a co py of his addiess for publication. It would be read with a high degree of satisfaction by his Protestant fellow citizens. The value of the buildings destroyed at Charlestown on Monday evening is estimated at $20^000. They cost that sum. The furni ture of the principle house was elegant and cost ly and was probably worth about as much more. There were ten or twelve Piano fortes, some of them splendid instruments—three harps, one of which cost $500—and five guitars, among the articles destroyed. The females lost all their clothing, except what they had on when they flew from the incendiaries. The above faets were obtained from a source that may be relied on. At 11 o’clock last evening the City was quiet, and we had heard of no act of violence in Charlestown. The City Council were in ses sion, and there was a strong police in atten dance. The Military were at their Armories in Faneuil Hall. In the vicinity of the Catholic Church there was a gathering of five or six hun dred persons; and in parts of the city there were large collections, but no disposition to do any act of violence. We hope the night will pass off without further trouble. Hundreds of respectable citizens are on the alert to render assistance, if any should be required. Every Bostonian blushes for the conduc t of those de luded men of Middlesex county who set lire to the Ursuline Convent. DISGRACEFUL RIOTS IN PHILADEL PHIA. In our paper of yesterday, we gave some par ticulars of a riot which took place on Tuesday evening, in South street. We learn that some of the rioters, after they had beef! driven from that scene of confusion, proceeded to the house of Mr. Cox, a white man, who sells liquor. Here the police of the district interfered, and the peace was preserved. During the day on Wednesday, it was hinted that further riots would take place on the suc ceeding night, and it was believed that the riot ers would rendezvous on the open square east of the Hospital. The Mayor arranged his po lice and watchmen in such a manner as to in sure a prompt alarm, should any symptoms of a riot appear, w isely judging that an ear y in terference would prevent much injury to ail par ties. He tarried in the neighborhood for some time, and at a late hour Ln the evening retired, enjoining vigilance on his officers. About 11 o’clock at night, he was called up with a notice that the rioters had commenced their work in Seventh street near Shippen. This is not in the city proper, and is of course beyond the au thority of the Mayor. He however repaired in haste to the place of confusion, and stationed a number of his men so that should the rioters cross the city line, they might be arrested be fore injury could be done to property, and with out the shedding of blood. Having thus pro vided for the safety of those whom he was offi cially bound to protect, the Mayor, with a num ber of h'*s officers, went into the adjoining dis trict, where, strange to say, there was no pub lic officer of any rank called to protect the citi zens, or to preserve their property. One or two watchmen were to be seen at a distance, but they had evidently no intention of disturbing the operations of the rioters. Meantime, a large number had joined those who had come for mischief, and the three story brick building of Cox was attacked, its doors and windows broken, and beds, chairs, ware, Ac. were scat tered far and near. The 1110b then proceeded to the brick Presbyterian Church for blacks. This building was greatly injured, and the mob proceeded from house to house. The word gi ven at the door was “light up;” then, when a candle was shown and a white face behind it, the cry was made at the next door, and if as surance of white tenants was not given, some of the assailants beat in the doors and dragged thence the miserable inmates, some from sick beds, and one, as we understand, in his shrniid. I The mob entered the house of a citizen in Ship pen below 7th street, mistaking it for the resi dence of a police officer, who on a former oc casion had done his duty, they beat in the door and dragged out the man, and only a fortunate discovery of the mistake saved h»m from fur ther injury. In Baker street and the adjoining squares, the mischief done was very extensive. Several blacks were so much injured that they were taken to the Hospital, where, it is men tioned to us, one has since died. It is said that two churches and about twenty five dwelling houses have been destroyed, besides the loss to the owners of their furniture. The Mayor of the city, not finding himself empowered by the officers of the district to act in any official cha racter, proceeded to discharge the duties ol a good citizen, and seized, and, with his officers, detained, nine of the rioters, in the act ot de molishing property, and yesterday bound them over for trial. YVe take the above statement from the lips of those who saw the affray, and we might add, that some of the scenes were of the most bru tal kind. YVe join the general voice in commendation of the Mayor’s exertions to save the lives and property of the citizens: he headed one party of the citv police, while Capt. Bell, of the city watch, and high constable Biancy, led another party. After the above was written, we visited the scent* of riot, and were amazed at the amount of mischief perpetialed. In one place, fitz water Court, ttie windows and doors of every house (ten or a dozen,) were beaten in, and the furniture broken into small pieces. In Fitzwa ter street, a large three story brick house, own ed by a black man named Moor, was assailed, every pane of glass broken.to pieces cvciy article of furniture destroyed—the feather beds emptied—the mahogany sideboard hewed to pieces—and the parts of the mantels, bedsteads, mahogany bannisters, cut up into small parti-, cles, as if for kindling wood. One house in Baker street particularly arrest ed our attention—it was the small dwelling of an aged black man, who seemed to have set down with the hope of spendim- his days in peace ana comfort; his rooms seemed neatly fur nished; and all presented the appearance of good living. Yesterday exhibited another scene: the windows and door were broken in, and furniture cut and broken into small pieces —the walls defaced and the whole a mournful j evidence, that bitter things had been done. The minuteness of some of the mischief is truly as tonishing. During the riot, the blacks were seen running in all directions across the commons, and into the city, and some even taking refuge in cel lars, which they found open. One gentleman mentioned to us, that he found eleven in his front cellar yesterday morning, trembling with fright.— U. S. (ruz. Went Indie*.—By the arrivals at this port from the West Indies yesterday, we learn that the beginning of the end” of the abolition of sla very in the English Islands had commenced. In cne ot the islands (Antigua or St. Kitts,) the Governor called together a portion of the most intelligent of the slaves, and informed them of the conditions upon which they were to be made free and the course to be pursued for that purpose.

A physician of eminence, who had witness -d the ef deaev of this article, hid the candor recently to ack now ledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, for the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole c'ass of such remedies.

This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many year-* pa'.t, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powders in common use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purify ing the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins7,) Prepared by C. HER STUNS, near Frederick- town, Maryland. Kicmmohd. Va- July 15, 1830. flltIK public will be pleased to understand that 1 was 1 JL the original discoverer of Judkins’ Ointment, and aole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the tame; hut, having connect-: ed myself with Ur. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear hia name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26tu June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa tent thereon N SHEPHERD. I jy Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the uame of Jud kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in Vis 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 MRNT, (formerly Judkim\) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, an had, inaeveral instances, experienced its good effects, I tent it to several physicians, with instructions in wna cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake o make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process ne vertheless, it might be progated in tb'S 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 I nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, I some of which have so long baffled the skill of me i dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythoie hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancer*; 4th Felons; or whataowe people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description, i 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description, or in whatever part situate; I 7th Tetters of all Winds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 1 8th Chilblains or parts affected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out ill a short time. For inflamed women’s breasts anl glandular swel lings, 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 i |«y the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold, j Tina Oimment has cured sores of many years stand 1 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, incretse the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on spplica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES. From the Hon. John Cocke. Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. Wash i rotor, Mar'h 22, 1826 Sir —My son having been afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians i within mv reach without success, I at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and i made the application according to the directions ac i compsnying the ointment, and state, for the benefit j of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect j cure waseffcctcd. My son lias enjoyed good health i ever since. I have no doubt thattothe Ointment alone he i9 indebtedi for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment.

P LEE. Baitimobe, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. L*f, New London, Conn. Dear Sib—It is now upward* of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my tami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al j most everv description of disease, and believe they sa» ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timeJ) I use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary i in their operation and effects until a few months past; I and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- I ry instance of using them, 1 began to conclude that you bad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, 1 accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New YorX newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact. Finding those I had without this test, I be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as ia politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1 found many without this test, but none with it, until 1 came to the Messrs Keerls', who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the tame effects from them 1 had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my •el fin aspo*s*-i-m of a medicine I sd produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly all disappeared 1 took the medicine sixty days 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 1 had taken about thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored to health. After I commenced the llyg. ian, I took I no o'her medicine. One year from the first attack, I wts able to resume inv studi s in college, where I 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 I nave less pains, and am more free from temporary sickness, than ai any time since iny earliest recollec tion.

Dh H Siiki'Hxari) Moat Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe suffering, And employing a m“dical 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 ,»s 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 o If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After ming a few, doses of No. t and 2, alternately, about eight pilU 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 case being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, H DYER Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb 8, 1834 Injustice to Dr. M.. her m-tdical adviser, when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended j perseverance in tiie use of he medicines This valuable Medicine, being composed only of j vegetable matter, or m*. lieinil herbs, and warranted, oil oath, as containing no*, me particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature ol man, ami the efore dcstiuc tive to the human frame,; is found to ne perfectly harmless to the most tender nge or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi asant j and benign in it operation, and at the nine time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how- ever deep, and of perfuming a cure, that was ever offered to the world.
