All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates. LATEST FROM EUROPE? The ship Humboldt, Captain Bliss, arrived at Boston, brings London and Liverpool papers to j the 20th July. ENGLAND. The change in the ministry of England had occasioned a general suspension of business, and that stillness so natural on sudden and mo mentous events. The London Courier of the 17th has the following account of the new Min “^The Ministerial arrangements are complet ed—Lord Melbourne is first Lord of the Trea sury in the room of Earl Grey. Viscount Dun can-ion is to be Secretary of State, for the Home Department, in the room of Lord Melbourne. Lord Duncannon is to be called to the House of. Peers. Only two Secretaries of State can, in the terras of Mr. Burke’s Act, sit in the House of Commons. The Right Honorable Sir John Cam Hobhouse is to be Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, in the room of Viscount Duncannon. Sir John is, we are glad to hear, to have a seat in the Cabinet. It is expected that he will be a candidate for the representation of Nottingham, vacant by Lord Duncannon’s pro motion to the Peerage. No other change, so far as we have heard, is to take place in the Admin istration, as constituted while Earl Grey was Prime Minister. The Marquis Wellesley remaining Lord Lieutenant, and Mr. Littleton Secretary for Ireland. We presume that if any explanations are required respecting the way in which the Ministerial arrangements have been effected, they will be afforded this evening in the Houses of Parliament.” House op Commons, Thursday, July 17. Lord Althorp rose amidst loud cries of Hear, hear, hear, hear. His Lordship was understood to say, that he rose tor the purpose of stating to the House that Lord Melbourne having been commanded by his Majesty to iay before him a plan for a new Administration, his Lordship had now completed that plan, and had reconstruct ed an Administration. (Hear, Hear.) The on ly alterations or additions which it had been found requisite to make were these—that Lord Dur.cannon was appointed Secretary of State for the Home Department, and that his Lord ship was succeeded as First Commissioner of the Woods and Forests, by Sir John Cam Hobhouse. (Hear, hear, hear.) His Lordship next proceeded to deplore the joss of the assis tance of Earl Grey in his Majesty’s Councils, and described the loss of that assistance as near ly if not quiet irreparable. (Hear, hear, hear.) The Noble Lord at some length passed the highest encomiums on Lord Grey. His Majesty had now,however, placed Lord Melbourne ai the head of his Government, and he was then ready to state no selection could have been made which held out better prospects to the country than that which his Majesty had just made. (Hear.) That Noble Lord had sound judgment and dis crimination-two essential qualities. With that Noble Lord he had had the pleasure of concur ring on almost every subject. His Majesty had been also graciously pleased to desire a continu ance ot his (Lord A’s) services. (Loud chters from all parts.) He had, at ail times, as the House was aware, felt the greatest disinclination to accept office, and he would not pretend to say that ins expe rience had tended in the ieast degree to weaken that disinclination or objection. He was per fectly aware that bis own resignation had pro duced that of Earl Grey, and it was therefore under the feeling that such a result had beer, pro duced by that act of his own, and the great loss the country must suffer by the absence of his No ble Friend’s advice and services, that he wasin ducedfo continue.—(Loud cheering.) He found, under peculiar circumstances,that it was neces sary he should continue, und he did so, feeling it to be an imperative duty —(Loud cheers.) The present Government would be prepared to car ry forward such reasonable reforms in the in stitutions of the country, as the people had a right to expect would be granted them from the reform in Parliament. They would, at the same time, propose nothing that would be likely to be dangerous to the established institutions of the country. They would endeavor to be neither more than adequate, nor less than adequate in the du ties they had to perform.—(Hear.) This was the principle upon which the Government of Earl Grey had been conducted; that Govern ment had met with opposition, in most cases roost decided, strong opposition; but they .had persisted in the course, and endeavored by eve ry means in their power, safely to ameliorate the abuses which existed. (Loud cries of Hear, near.; v- The return of Lord Althorp to the Ministry, does not please the Radicals. Hunt’s Exami ner discourses thus upon the subject: The House of Commons cannot exist without its lord Althorp—he is the tortoise upon which our world reposes—if we had him not, or if Northamptonshire had him entirely,chaos would come again. He is the one thing needful in the House of Commons. In the East they put an ass at the head of caravans, in order to regu late the march at a pace easy to the most slug gish, and thus to hold a compact troop. In a caravan having few of this leisurely gait, we can imagine the value of one of the most de liberate; but this is not the case of the House of Commons, and amongst the requisitionists of lord Althorp, we are sure that many men of his paces must be found. The Times publishes, with indignation, a let ter from Joseoii Hume, to W. L. Mackenzie,May or of Toronto fU C.) It is said that the ob ject of the member for Middlesex, is to excite the Canadians to shake off the government of the parent country, as a baneful dominion.’ Yearly Epistle or the Friends.”—The yecrly epistle of this respectable body of Chris tians sas just appeared. Among other things It notices the passing of an act, whereby the affirmation” of the people called Quakers is deemed equivalent to the oath of other Chris tians, and this recognition of civil right was viewed bv the meeting as a matter of gratitude. t:,j» part of the epistle w hich may be termed rt, it appears that during the past year ierings” oon, and of him or them who advised a removal of the deposites. j “Prudence and observation make great men,” we turn over also to the General, though it may be too late for him to profit by it. “It is easier to run thoughtlessly into debt' than to get honestly out of it.” we surrender to the Genera] Post- He v. ho loses his debts,1 gets no thanks,” seems to be addressed to all printers and editors, negligent in collecting their 1 dues. “Use soft words and hard arguments,” might be a lesson to Colonel Benton, with a transposition of the words soft and hard. “Ne- i ver jest with fire arms,” is good advice to all mi- litary that may he ordered out to quell mobs.'

Education in the South.—The same able and interesting writer in the Fredericksburg Arena to whom we have referred as giving some well written views of the present condition of the New England States, in his last number, speaks of the institution of Lectures, the formation of Lyceums and social Libraries, and similar es tablishments as among the chief glories of tne States through which he has travelled and ol which he is giving an uccount. He remarks that these lectures are delivered by public spi rited men—professional and unprofessional— sometimes, by farmers and mechanics. They are gratuitous; and in a style plain enough to be un i derstood by all classes of society, who dock to hear them. For these occasions, the fiist ahili 1 ties of the country have now and then been put in requisition. Story, Everett, and Webster alike with the village teacher and mechanic, have contributed their quota o! Mind, towards the holy cause of Popular Instruction.” j How magnanimous the spirit,” he remark-. which could prompt that ‘hardest lesson that humility can teach—a voluntary descent from the dignity of science,’ to explain the simple rudiments of knowledge to unlettered minds: the spirit, which could make genius and power drudge in the lowliest walks of learning, to open and smooth them for the ingress of intellectual babes ana sucxungs: The writer then asks, When will the great of Virginia deign this magnanimous descent? When will our Leigh, our Tazewell, our Bar bour, our Rives, our Johnson, our Stanard, our Robinson—a generous spirit, from wnose devo tion to democracy something might be expect ed towards fitting his countrymen for self-gov ernment—when will they, and the host of talents besides that Virginia possesses, be found striv ing in this noble race of usefulness with Brough am, McIntosh, Webster, and Everett?” Yds! we may repeat, When will the time come? Not until the ears of our Southern pub lic men are opened to something besides the miserable wranglings of party about the more miserable pretensions of opposing candidates.” But does not the fact furnished by this writer offer an example and an incentive to exertion on the part of the leading men of Virginia? Will it not excite them to action, and induce them to direct the energies of their mir.dsto the moral and intellectual improvement of their State? Or will it all continue to be no avail—precept and example—and will they, people and leaders, i persist in a slumber as profound on this sub ject, as if they had no Literary Fund, no Prima ry Schools, no youth to educate, no country to save from the certain fate of popular ignorance. Would that our humble efforts could contri bute aught to aid the cause of Education in the South, and especially in Virginia. Gladly would we devote much of our time »o an object so worthy of exertion, and so deserving o! praise! We have more to say on this subj^c' hereafter. Choleha.—In New York, on the 21st, there were 31 cases and 20 deaths, including the lu>* pitals, Ac. The disease continues in Albany, Rochester, Detroit, Buffalo, Ac. Dr. Causin, President of the Board of Health of Washington, D. C., in a letter to the M ayor of the city, says there is no Cholera there. Up to the time of putting this paper to press we hear not a word of Cholera, or any thing like it here. Alexandria continues blessed with the enjoyment of a fine state of health. Health of New Orleans.—The Bulletin o. the 5th instant says: The city is more healthy at this time than it has been before for years. A few cases of bilious fever only have come undrr notice for the past tw o or three weeks. Indeed, we are blessed with a greater degree of health than the Northern cities, w hich i* uncommon s' this season of the year.” Kentucky —It is admitted, by both sides, ti,at this State has gone almost entirely far ,'‘r Whigs. Jacksonism is entirely routed. Tou° the Globe’s expression, the Clay and party have earned all before them.” Ah! *l*aI wicked Bank! The leturns, thus fur, shows venty-three Whigs elected to seventeen Jat k^'n men!—more than four to one! Indiana.-—General Noble, the Whig Candida?' for Governor, is elected by a large majority His opponent was a warm Jackson man, and.a-* such, supported. The Whig Lieutenant Gov nor is also elected, and, it is said, a Whig nia-'° rity of the Legislature. North Carolina.—Both sides claim the'**10 ry. It is probable that the elections did not tur.* upon National politics at all. We can, th*p fore, know nothing of the state of parties in t f next Legislature until that body meets and up? Illinois.—We have not returns enough ?'om this State to enable us to give a probable coi jecture as to the result. Alabama —The returns show a change in political feeling of this State, but the State i>)^ for Jackson, and the Jackson party Prf,ba triumphed at the recent election. Missouri.—We have numerous returns »01 different counties in Missouri, by which wp Pa ther only that a large majority of those chosen are opposed to the amendments in the const* tion previously proposed. We are not able^ state what bearing this will have on the national questions in which we all are Interests The Boston Transcript says it is rumored ti'a the cause of Mr. Everett1* resignation is the Pr bability that Mr. Quincy will resign the pr^ dency of Harvard College, and that Mr. E*prr will be appointed to that important office

Gas Works at New Orleans.—Mr. James H. Caldwell, an enterprising citizen of New Or leans. has erected gas works in that city, which have been recently put in successful operation. The Bulletin of the 8th says, they were tried on the day before, and succeeded admirably. Great advantages were expected to result from the in troduction of^ason^large^calemtcahat city. The notorious Gwin, a Government officer, is the manufacturer of Jackson resolutions for Jackson meetings in Mississippi._ We perceive, by the Philadelphia papers, that the trade of the Chesapeake and Delaware Ca nal is attended with serious difficulties, arising o it of the pecuniary embarrassments of the Company. A judgment for upwards of 3220, 0*X) was gained some time ago by John Randel, Esq- against the Company, in the Courts of De laware; and it is stated that, in order to obtain payment of this claim, officers are stationed on that part of the canal lying within the limits of Delaware, who require all vessels that pass to J -,v toll to them, after the captains have al r^.idv paid tolls to the Canal Company.” The exaction of double tolls is said to have given ,/reat dissatisfaction to the captains of vessels, and it is added, that, rather than submit to it, they have generally determined to abandon the trade.”__ A factory is established near Leeds, where old rags are manufactured into new cloth, used for padding and other purposes. To so great an extent is this carried on, that 5,000,000 lbs. of old rags are imported from Germany for that purpose. The rags are thrown into a machine which tears them to pieces; then, with the addi non of a little new wool, they arc remanufac tured and used for the above mentioned purpo s'IS. ___ Mr. O'Connell, in the House of Commons, in ured if government was not going to interfere ami prevent the loss of life by brutal boxing matches.

PIERPOINT’S SEMINARY WILL be re-opened on the first day of Sep tember next In this Institution will be taught, besides the usual branches, the Latin, Greek, and French Languages, the Mathema tics, Natural Philosophy, Drawing, Ac. The Classical Department will be under the special care of P. J. McLaughlin, a gentleman of high literary attainments, of unexceptionable moral character, and who has had considerable' experience in the instruction of youth. In this Institution the Explanatory Mode of Instruction is pursued; which is based upon the obvious principle, that abstract terms and defi nitions are less intelligible and pleasing to chil dren than real objects; and that the instruction which is given entirely in words, can never be so interesting and profitable, as that which is communicated with the aid of visible and tangi ble things. By thus explaining and illustrating the subjects of study before the students en ter upon them, they are well understood, and their progress is thereby facilitated and much increased. The Proprietor is decidedly of the opinion that youth are more easily led than driven in the paths of science, and that order, in general, is more effectually secured by a system of mo ral, than physical discipline. This Institution continues to be well support ed, is now in a flourishing condition, and ar rangements have been made for the accommo dation of an additional number of students. The Proprietor hopes that no exertions'on his part, or on that of his assistants, will be neglect ed, that will tend to the moral and intellectual j improvement of his students. Alexandria, August 15, 1834—2aw6w MIIS. PORTER’S SEMINARY WILL be re-opened, at the Dwelling of the Alexandria Bank, corner of Fairfax and Cameron streets, on the 15th of September, 1834. Encouraged by the success which has thus far attended the efforts of the Principals of this In stitution, they have continued to avail them selves of every advantage, which the various improvements in Europe and America have conferred upon the science of education. A Gentleman of liberal education and experi ence in the art of teaching, has recently taken the charge of the classes in Arithmetic, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, and Astronomy. This acquisition, with suitable apparatus for exhibit ing experiments, and familiar lectures, which will be given on each branch, complete the ad vantages enjoyed within the limits of this Insti tution. B. Hallowell’s course of lectures are also attended through the winter season. The vigilant care~ and paternal watchfulness ever attendant upon the pupils, command oppor tunities for inculcating lessons on numerous points of morals and manners, which can only be secured by that maternal interest which wins the regard and confidence of the pupils.

THE public will be pleased to understand that 1 was the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and •ole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the samei but, having connect id myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I lernHMod the Ointment to bear his name. The term if the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have nade an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa entthereon. N. SHEPHERD. (£7 Imposition having been practised upon the pub ic by a spurious artiole, bearing the name of Jud ins' Ointment," the proprietor avails himself of tbe authority granted to him in his letter* patent, now u» call the Ointment after hi* own name. Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins1.) When I first made and prepared thia O had, in several instance*, experieiged *t«Jfood effects, I sent it to several physicians, witlf instructions tn what cases to apply it, who were of opinion tha ment would be a valuable public benefit. m,nv that the Ointment would occasionally fall intc^ many hands, some of whom would probably un“™e nl° make it, and knowing the difficulty of theT vertheless, it might be progated in thia J tuation, as it might in some degree reeemble nal—and in this way it# good effects wouldbe oblitera ted Under these considerations, t secured thesong'* nal and certain remedy for those obstinate mseaset, some of which have so long baffled the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description? j 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulcetated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by tnename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ot'the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description, or tn whatever part situate; i 7th Tetters of all kinds. In tins complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the pari Joutof water; 8th Chilblains or partsaffectcd by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns snd scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. 1 I For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the m- dical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap. 'plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of i any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold, j This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the exten al sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, increise the quantity of discharge, remove the offen I sive smell, and ease the pains.

II. P LKK. Baltimore. August, 1828. I Doctor S 4. P. Lx«, New London, Conn. Dxaa Sib —It is now upwards of twenty year* that I have used your New Loudon Bilious Pills in my f-»mi ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, a .id believe they s»» ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. 1 never found iheir accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; 1 and having, since then, oeen sadly disappointed in eve- I ry instance of using them, I begsn to conclude that you 1 bad made y our fortune, an 1 abandoned their mauutac 1 ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under th.s 1 impression, I accidentally saw so advertisement ot yours iu a New York newspaper, designating spurious 1 imitations from your own manufacture, by having your 1 WRITTEN SIGNATURE ui each bill of directiona, and that in noinatauce were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other 1 res poet Finding tboae 1 had without this test, 1 be- gan to suspect that all waa not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe carica for your pills, with your written signature- I found many without this teat, but none with it, until I came to the Messrs. Keeris', who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using s hem, found the same effects from them I had alwaya a experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my- 8 iel Tin asposaeion of a medicine I to highly prize, that that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this nformatioo. To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, aa related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions tewing each box, and if signed at foot. In my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if obit the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided. 8. H. P. LEE, New London, Conn. Dec-1823. HYGEIANISM. THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the cure ol our diseases, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical: Drown Uhivsrsitt, Dec. 25, 1833* To Mr. Samuel Young. Agent for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Kbode Island. Sir—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels me, in compliance with your request, to give brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I. received from the Hygeian Medicines. 1 give publicity to the same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, I may be useful to tome of my fellow-oeo, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly under* stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep temher, 1832,1 caught s severe cold, which settled on my lungss I was confined to my room about one week, with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my cough soon abated, and apparently, l 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 bleed'ng at the lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. 1 spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it lefi 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 1 received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check the progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery Bui rel-pae upon relapse, and each bringing me lowei than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus, j months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke ill the Inngs, after which I spat blood, on* day. I continued to decline twomonths longer, when I I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. I had now been unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and i half. My feet were cold and lifeless, aleep unsound, cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the I afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi nute, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the brea9t dircc’ly opposite the lit act, attended with some cough, fcc. Lc Such wag j:ij condition, when I first became acquainted with tht Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a dose, and increase 1 the dose dsi ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ter (lays, my appetite became good, and food produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty day a the svmptoms of the diseas* had nearly all disappeared I 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 shout four doses a week, until I had taken abou ian, I took I 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 theroox, with printed directions; and also by the fol* owingSiib- \gcnts: ft.
