TH>E GaZET J 5.1 By EDGAR SNOWDEN._ Daily paper $8 per annum. Country paper 5 per annum. The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE forthe coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and ^Saturday. All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates. From the Xew York Commercial Advertiser. The two following delightful poems, by Miss &1ahy Ann Browne, are natural and touching, "and may stand by the side of any of the same class in our language. To a musical ear and correct taste we need not point out a few slight imperfections, of which the first half of the third stanza is the greatest: Man's Love. When woman’s eye grows dull, And her cheek paleth, When fades the beautiful Then man’s love faileth: He sits not beside her chair, Clasps not her fingers, Twines not the damp hair, That o’er her brow lingers. He comes but a moment in, Though her eye lightens, Though her cheek, pale and thin, Feverishly brightens; H,j stays but a moment near, When that flush fadeth, Though true affection’s tear Her soft eyelid shadeth. Ue goes from her chamber straight Into life’s jostle, He meets at the very gate Business and bustle; He thinks not of her within, Slightly sighing, He forgets in that noisy din That she is dying! And when her young heart is still What though he mournetb, Soon from his sorrow chill Wearied he turneth. Soon o’er her buried head Memory’s light setteth, And the true-hearted dead. Thus man forgetteth! Woman’s Love. A When man is waxing frail, And his hand is thin and weak, And his lips are parched and pale, And wan and white his cheek; Oh! then doth woman prove Her constancy and love! She sitteth by his chair. And holds his feeble hand; She watchethever there. His wants to understand HU yet unspoken will She hasteneth to fulfil. She leads him, when the noon Is bright o’er the dale or hill, And all things, save the tune Of the honey bees, are still, Into the garden bowers, To sit ’midst herbs and flowers. And when he goes not there, To feast on breatli and bloom. She brings the posy rare Into his darkened room; And ’neath his weary head The pillow smooth doth spread. Until the hour when death His lamp of life doth dim, She never wearieth, She never leaveth him; Still near him night and day, She meets his eye alway. And when his trial’s o'er, And the turf is on his breast, Deep in her bosom’s core Lie sorrows unexpressed; Her tears, her sighs, are weak, Her settled grief to speak. And though there may arise Balm for her spirit's pain, And though her quiet eyes May sometimes smile again; Still, still, she must regret, She never can forget!” Extract of a letter from Genoa, receiced at Bos ton, dated July 7. We have here Don Miguel, who, with the exception of having a guard at the door of the hotel where he is lodged, is entirely ns a private person. He had not two shirts to his back when he embarked; some of his people had no hats— butthev were happy in having their heads; for, 1 though the people of Portugal may have been in favor of D. M., I believe there was a mob at the place where he embarked that would, had he j not been protected, have murdered him. We have had here the frigates United States; and Constellation, and schr. Shark; after them j came the English frigate Stag, and cor-; vettee Nimrod, both of their class esteemed first j rate. The unanimous opinion of Genoa is, that all appearances are in favor of the Americans: beyond external appearances it is not possible j to judge. I think that no one could question the opinion expressed by the Genoese. The reason may be, that the English navy is so extensive that the attention to discipline and niceties can j not be given, which renders the American ves- sels almost spectacles to be seen. In a compari- son of these navies, we hear and see that in •hips, officers and men, the Americans, in out ward looks, have the superiority. I am glad to be in a place at which arrives a U. S. vessel of war; for the chance is, that l meet with men, whom it is a pleasure to know, and w ith officers, 1 whom it is a pride to call countrymen.” Coleridge.—We perceive among the late fo reign items the death of this eminent philoso }>her and poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge is no onger among the living. He w’as a man pos sessed of a most powerful mind; his attainments in classical erudition, were second to scarcely j one of his contemporaries; he was srcutinizing and profound in his studies of metaphysics, and deeply imbued with the best spirit of German literature. As a poet, he attained a high rank, and kept it. Some of his effusions, such as the I Ancient Mariner and Genevieve, will be lost j only with the language. His last work, entitled Aid to Reflection,” will aid in the perpetuity I of his name.—Phil. Gaz. CHOLERA. New YjOKK Board of Health, **®keptember 4, 12 M. The Board of Heartth report that there have been In the City practice generally, 14 deaths. Duane street Hospital, 4 Greenwich Hospital, 2 Bellevue Hospital, 1 Total deaths, 2\ We regret to perceive by the Daily Adverti ser that the cholera has made its appearance at Newark and in its vicinity. A Mrs. Clark from this city was taken on Tuesday with that disease and died on.yesterday morning. She had par taken freely of beets at dinner, and of muskine lon in the afternoon of the previous day. It is said that there were nine or ten cases on Tues day among the workmen on the rail-road at Bergen Hill, that four had died, and that one or two more were in a helpless stale. Another case occurred near Newark bridge. One new and fatal case of cholera occurred at New Bedford on the 3d inst.—on the preced ing day none. In Kingston it continues slowly to decline. In Montreal the deaths by cholera on the 25th ultimo were eight, and five on eacli day of the 26th and 27th. At Quebec the deaths by cholera averaged about 3 per ejay at the latest accounts. It was still severe among the emigrants at Grosse Isle The village of Galt (U. C.) is said to be near ly depopulated, and to add the miseries of pes tilence, a large store occupied by Mr. Alderman, with several other houses, have been consumed by fire. The fire is suspected to have been tlic work of an incendiary. The cholera, on the 27th, had disappeared from Toronto, for the twenty-tour horns pre ceding. Four persons died ol that disease in Dundus on the 24th ult.— N. Y: Cour. Murder at Sea —The brig Juniper, Capt. Cros by, sailed from Boston for Surinam on the 4th ultimo. When in lat. 30, long. 43, on the 14th the Captain was stabbed twice with a dirk, whilst asleep below in his berth by his cook a Spanish negro. At the second blow, the dirk broke; Capt. C. sprang from Ins berth, and gain ed the deck. As he passed out the companion way, the second mate ran to his assistance, caught him in his arms, and asked him what was the matter? Capt. Crosby answered, “I don’t know,” and immediately expired. In the mean time the cook took a bayonet from a musket in the cabin, and stabbed Mr. Eldred, the first officer in eighteen places. Mr. E. threw himself from his berth grappled w ith the assas sin, and succeeded in reaching the deck; when the second mate and the man at the wheel se cured the negro. Mr. Eldred is confined to his hammock, hut will probably recover; On the day that these events happened, the Juniper spoke the brig Agile, Capt. Parsons, who put his second officer on board to assist in navigating the vessel, and on Tuesday she returned home with the cook in irons. N. V. am. Painful Accident.—A letter from a friend in New Haven, mentions a dreadful accident which happened last evening, between that city and Guilford. A gentleman and ludy—Mr. and Mrs. Moses, of South Carolina—were in a chaise, on their way to Guilford, when their horse took fright ami ran off at the top of his speed. The vehicle was overturned with such violence that Mr. Moses was instantaneously killed. Mrs. M. had an arm broken and was otherwise severely injured. The accident took place in Banford. on the road to Guilford Point. Ibid. From Trinidad.—By the arrival of the Joshua Breen wood, the Port of Spain Gazette of the 8th of August has been received, w hich represents tranquility as having been restored in that place, from which we infer that similar disturbances had occurred as in St. Kitts, although the pre vious papers, containing the details of them, have not been received. There are, says the Editor, here and there estates, whose gangs are still absent, and others, which, although on the property, refuse to work, but these, he adds, are solitary instances, and not sufficiently numer ous to give any uneasiness. It is inferrable from a controversy that occur red between some of the inhabitants and Col. Hardy, the military commandant, in w hich they blame him for not calling out a sufficient mili tary force to protect the town, that very serious riots took place on the night of the first of Au gust, in which the safety of the town was endan gered by the insurrectionary movements of the negroes.—Ibid. Earthquake m t erra t irma.— i ne run Spain Gazette of the 8th ultimo states that let ters had been received from Colombia, stating that the town of Santa Martha, (province of Terra Firma,) had been totally sunk by an earthquake.--Ibid. Mr. Stewart, the Wandering Piper—We no ticed, in one of our papers of April last, that this benevolent being intended to visit the upper parts of the States of Pennsylvania and New York; spend a part of the summer in the Cana-1 dus, and then proceed to New Orleans by the Ohio, &c. He has, although laboring under a most severe and protracted attack of the pleu* j risy, performed his tour as far as relates to Pennsylvania, New York, and the Canadas, but, we regret to say he is again- returned to this ci-, ty, in rather a precarious state of health. Seve- i ral gentlemen of the first respectability here have offered him an asylum either in their town or country houses, until he shall be again con valcscent. This is just as it should be. and we are glajl ofit. Mr. Stewart likewise informs us j that he has been attended by some of the first j medical men in Baltimore, Lancaster, Philadel phia, and New York, all of whom refused to ac- j cept of the least remuneration for their services. We understand he intends to proceed in a few days to Boston, having been advised by his me dical attendants to try the mild air of a Ncw England autumn —Ibid. The Philadelphia Post Office.—Wo are pleas ed to learn that Col. Page arrived in town last evening, and will with all possible speed lay be-1 fore the public, a statement of the facts in rela-, tion to documents, about which so much clamor has been raised_Pennsylvanian. The Washington Globe, a few days since, published abstracts of treaties of amity and commerce, concluded between the United States and the King of Siam, and the Sultan of Mus-J cat. The treaties were sanctioned at the late session of the Senate, but will not be officially promulgated for some time. These foreign powers govern extensive and populous regions j in Africa and Asia, separated from each other by great distances. The treaties were conclud-! ed during the late cruise of the Peacock. Ac- j companying the abstracts are reports describ-1 ing the countries and their productions, and explaining their local and commercial regula-1 MMi ~rwl ‘YflilllfiBi w Gold Coinage.—Statement of the amount of gold remaining in the Mint, uncoined, on the 16th 'of August, 1834, with the amount deposit ed for coinage within the succeeding two weeks ending 30th Aug., together with the amount or gold coinage executed, and of coin delivered within the same period.

John Buchanan, Chief Justice ofCourt ol Appeals of Maryland. A number of very respectable gentlemen of Har ford county, appeared as witnesses in behalf of the accused, it was proved, most conclusively and satisfactorily, that the accused was not Pe ter Dean, but William Clark, of Harford coun ty, to w hich county he removed in his youth where he constantly lived for 25 or 30}e«us, with but few and short intervals, up to the time of his emigration to Ohio, about IS months ago. Dean, on the contrary, was a native or this county, and was proved to have lived constant ly in it up to the time of the murder, (.’lark’s character was clearly established to be that of a peaceable, orderly, honest, industrious, punc tual, well behaved man. He has a wife and large family in Licking County, Ohio. Much sympathy was excited in his behalf by the developments ol the examination. And, af ter his discharge, a subscription, amounting to 8130, was raised for him, and his passu e home, free, in the stages, kindly proffered. Mr. J. D. Keedy, upon whose information Clark was ar rested,gave him 850. ft is due to Mr. Keedy to state, that several respectable gentlemen of Washington county concur with him in the be lief that there is a very striking resemblance between Clark and Deun. liugersto wu Torchli,gh t. Tammany.—Every office holder, expectant, and dependant, were held in requisition to at tend the young men’s meeting at Tammany.— The hall was liglited up—the transparency of the old Hero hoisted, and every effort made to get a full house. All the party was present young and old; and the old subjects—*’ Glory, the Bank,’’ and Mr. Van Buren,5’ reverbera ted through the wigwam.

Van Buren, which he will long" remember in his retirement, i The young men’s meeting last evening, at Tammany Hall, was about half of it composed tot young'men between the ages of 15 and 20 years.

H. dined with many others, and appeared to l>t* in good health and spirits; after dining he went into the house of a relation, and was eating a piece of water melon, when he suddenly fell hack in his chair and never spoke again. He continued to breathe about 15 minutes. His sudden death is attributed by some physicians to the rupture of a blood vessel. Mr. Dickinson was a native of Granby, and a graduate of Dartmouth College. He preached about .30 years at Walpole, but was not a settler! minister at the time of his de cease. He has left a wife and several children. His age was 57. We are informed that the Rev. Jonathan Nash, late pastor of the Congregational Church in Middleficld, retired to rest in usuai health on Saturday night last, and was found dead in his bed about two o’clock. He was a man greatly beloved by all. His age was about 70. Northampton (Mass.) Gazette, j Fight between a wan and on Alligator.—The Mobile Mercantile gives the following relation as coming from a friend of the editor residing in Blakely, in whose statement the greatest re- liance can be placed. As one of my negro men was returning home from work late the other evening, he was attacked by an alligator, who had concealed himself in some low bush wood by the side of the path, seemingly for that purpose. He sprang suddenly at the intended victim, seized him by the leg, just below his knee, with his jaws and as the negro expressed it, ‘shook and growled.’ But he being a very stout and ac tive fellow, extricated himself he don’t how, and retreated till he met another fellow who was coming behind; they then famished them selves with stakes, and advancing attacked the gentleman, and when they got home and told the stoiy, they boasted that he would never bite another negro. The next morning, however, he had absented himself and could not be found, but two days after, they discovered him by ’he pathway, nigh the same place, apparently wait ing for something to pass. They then assailed, and put a final end to him. He was about se ven feet long and well put together. The ne gro had a deep gash on one side of his leg. and bruises o« the other, and was lame for several days. He watches yet for an Alligator every time he passes that way, and I have no doubt that had he been less athletic than ho was, he would have fared much worse. Respectfully, &c. &c. Baldwin county, August loth, 1834. Breach of Marriage Promise.—Xn action was lately brought by a lady against a gentleman at Litchfield, for not having fulfilled his engage- ment towards her. The gentleman pleaded in extenuation the feeble health of the lady, who for two years had been very ill, and the physi cians had stated that her recovery was uncer-1 tain. The gentleman then ceased to pay his addresses, and was ultimately married to nno er. The charge of the Judge was delivered on Friday, and on Saturday a verdict for the de fcndant_was returned. _ ALEXANDRIA: MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 8, 1834. LITERARY NOTICES. Forthcoming Works.—The New York Com mercial Advertiser gives the following account of several works shortly to be published. Among the American works shortly forthco ming. or in a forward state of preparation, aie several in the hands of Carey Lea, which we are quite impatient to obtain. First of these may be noted a volume, or volumes, from the Rev. Charles S. Stewart, Chaplain of the Unit ed States Navy, giving the result of his observa tions during a visit to England, in 1S82-33. Mr. Stewart is one of the best descriptive writers in our language—as well of men and manners, as of natural scenery. Miss Fanny Kemble's (now Mrs. Butler’s) work, upon our country and its manners, is in forwardness, and will be publish ed in the course of the autumn. The author of Swallow Barn,” who can place himself at the head of American novelists if he chooses to do so, has another work in hand, which Carey Co. will soon publish; and Miss Leslie is prepar ing another volume of her agreeable 4i Pencil Sketches.” The author of Jeremy Levis” has written a new book—free, as we are assured; and as we hope, from the blemishes and immo ralities of the former. Professor Dunglison’s new work on Ilygeine, will also shortly appear* and a friend who has seen it, writes that, as it is calculated for all such nervous people as your self, it is to be hoped that much good may be done by it.'* Now, we should like to know whe ther Dr. Dunglison has ever had the dyspepsia, or whether he was not born before nerves came in fashion? If aye—he is not competent to write upon the subject. The same publishers have likewise in preparation the notes of a German Traveller upon things in general in the United States. The writer, as we learn, must be a cou sin -German to Prince Puckler Muskau—or per haps the redoubtable Pickle-nnd-Mustard hirn self-who knows? Dr. Bird, the able and po pular dramatist, has likewise a new novel in the hands of Carey, which may be looked for soon. It is entitled Calavar, and the scene is laid in Mexico, at the time of the conquest. Thus it wiil be seen that the trade of authorship is thriv ing amongst us, notwithstanding the distress and difficulties of the times.” Beckkord’s New Work.—The extraordinary being who built Fonthill Al>bey, and lived in its glorious apartments, surrounded by all the ele 1 fancies and luxuries of a monarch, who had the taste not only of a prince, but of an artist and an author, has at length been induced to pub lish his gorgeous descriptions of Italy, Spain and Portugal, as they existed under the old re gimes, before Bonaparte overran and conquer ed those countries, and a more surprising lite rary effort it has not fallen to our lot to read of this many a day. Lord Byron, who designated Beckford as England’s wealthiest son,” has described the palace of Cintra in Portugal, where our author first began to exhibit bis tastes for luxury and the tine arts, bv collecting round him ail the elegancies and expensive toys which money could purchase. Here Beckford enjoyed the society of the royal family, and the highest dignitaries of the 1 church, and hired the best musicians of the continent to minister to his pleasures. In his book he has given an account of this residence as well as curious anecdotes of the royal fami lies of both Spain and Portugal. This work which has lain unpublished far fifty years, is now given to the world to vindicate the author’s claim to certain original ideas w hich Lord Byron, Moore ami Rogers, who had read it in the confidence of friendship, had filched and turned into poe try. The work has excited, of course, a very great sensation in England, and from the ex tracts furnished by the July number of the Lon don Quarterly Review, we were led to expect the highest gratification from the contents; we need scarcely say, that having been favored with the proofs as they came from the American press, we have derived that species of pleasure from the perusal which attends the reading of the works of the master minds of romance, but here all is reality—gorgeous, splendid, nervous poetry dressed in the garb of prose. Well may the Quarterly Review remark, that they risk nothing in predicting that Mr. Beck ford’s Tra vels will henceforth he classed among the most elegant productions of modern literature;” the reviewer adds, “they will be forthwith transla ted into eveiy language of the continent, and will keep his name alive centuries after all the brass and marble he ever piled together.” A History of the Church, from the Eakli est Ages to the Refi hmation.— By the Rev. George VVaddington, M. A. Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1 vol. New York: Har per Brothers. We have here, by a Protest ant Episcopal clergyman, a history that strikes us, front the perusal of mary of its chapters, as eloquent, learned, and impartial—if impartiality can be attained by any one who has strong and honest convictions, that amid contending sects, his own is clearly right. The history of the Church is. in some sense, the history of the errors and wanderings, of the vices and virtues, of our common nature. It is, therefore, of more universal interest than any mere profane history. It is, too. addressed to onr eternal .as well as temporal interests. We think that Mr. Waddington has imparted to this volume, large as it is—for it contains near ly 600 pp. of double columns—such a degree of attraction, that will commend it to readers of all classes.—X. Y. Amur. The Christian Year—Thoughts in Verse for the Sundays and Holidays throughout the Year Phil: Carey. Lea and Blanchard. The author of -these “Thoughts in Verse,” beautiful and breathing, is the Rev. Mr. Xeble, Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford. The Ame rican Editor we take to be the Right Rev. Bish op of New Jersey—himself a poet, and the more alive, therefore, to the poetical beauties of a work devoted to aid the influence of the sublime Liturgy of the Episcopal Church. Apart from its high poetical merit.’ says the American Editor, ‘"the Christian Year is re commended most earnestly for its pure, affec tionate and elevating character, as a family book."—Ibid. Theodore Hook has been particularly suc cessful in his two stories, “Love and Pride,” of which Messrs. Carey, Lea, and Blanchard have published an American adit»un. I he sec ond, intended to satirize aristocratic pride, i* exceedingly well conceived and executed, the moral is adroitly hit, and the details possess much interest and humor. Initia Latina.—A grammar of the Latin tongue, illustrated by progressive exercises, has been published by the Harpers. It is compiled by Mr. Charles II. Lyon, one of the classical in structors of* the Grammar School of Columbia College. Jacob Faithful.—Carey and Hart, of Phila delphia, have published vol. 2d of this amusing work by Capt. Maryatt, the inimitable author Peter Simple. Falchetto Malaspina—Two very beautifu. ly printed volumes, being an American transla tion of an Italian work, entitled “Falchetto Malaspina; an historical romance of the Twelfth Century, by the author of Sibella Odaleta, have been published by Key and Riddle. The tra:i« lator is Daniel J. Desmond, Esq., of Philadel phia, who has dedicated it JCr* by permission! to J. Fennimore Coopei, Esq.” U. S. Naval and Military Magazine.—The 1 September number of Mr. Homan’s Militui/ and Naval Magazine contains, as usual, many original articles, interesting to the general read er as well as to the officers of the two branches of the United States service. It is very neatly and handsomely printed at the press ol Mr. j Wm. W. Moore of Washington. We trict it will receive the patronage and support of tlioo* to whose interests it is especially devoted. U e feel a great desire that so excellent ami valua ble a publication should meet with the envii. ragement which it deserves. SUMMARY. A Convention of Delegates front Temperance Societies in all parts of Virginia, is to meet h 1 Charlottesville, on tla* 23d ol October. Its car dinal object is, to adopt some such plan for cm certed effort among the different societies, as may be effectual for consummating ihegn-.it in form now for some years in progress. General Gordon has lately veiled the tippet counties of his District, and was enthusiastically received in the counties of Amherst and Neb-on, where a determined spirit of resistance to usui pation is represented as daily diflusing it.-eil among the freemen of the lulls. Gen. G. was complimented with public dinners botli at Am herst and Nglson Court Houses. The Abingdon Statesman ol tne^Jd *ugiw announces the arrival of Mr. M m. C. Preston, one of the South Carolina Senators, in that place, on a visit to his veuerabe tjther, where tie wilt remain about three weeks, and then depart ter Columbia, S. C. Mr. Parker, the ^Eronaut, who has made, this summer, two successful ascensions in Balti more, intends to gratify the citizens ol 1‘iede ricksburg with this interesting spectacle, provi ded the requisite encouragement be extended to him. There has been established a print at Culpep er Court House, entitled the “Messenger,” conducted by Messrs. Shackleford Luckett. devoted to the ti ue principles of the Constitu tion. Health or Washington.—It appears by the report of the Board of Health, that in the whole month of August the number of deaths ol adult persons in that city, from all causes, was but nine; the number in July was seven. This, we should think, evinces a degree of health equal led in very levy of our hu ger towns. The class recently admitted to Harvard Col lege, is the largest received at any commence ment in that institution for several years. The Secretary of the Treasury has given no tice that the five million loan of 1S21 will lc paid off on the 2d of January next. In the mean time, those proprietors of the stock, who desire the reimbursement of their certificates bel"tf that period, can receive the amount thereof wi' interest up to the day of their surrender, on po sentation at the Loan-offices wliefe tfi“ Nahant rocks.” The word Monster appears to have beta 1 favorite one with Gen.

Green intends to add to the materials for a history of our coun try, by an exposure of additional facts relative to the first Cabinet of Gen. Jackson and its dis solution, I take this mode of expressing a hope that he will not fail to give a full and ample ac count of the system of proscription—of its rise— its progress, and I wish I could say of its termi nation. He cannot think beneath his pen, the history of an act of government, which appear ed at the time wild and revolting to the most en lightened of his fellow-citizens," and since has been followed by such deplorable consequences to the country, through all the departments of the Government, particularly the Post, Land, and Indian Offices. I will venture to suggest one or two points of enquiry. Had the President made up his mind upon the subject on his first arrival at the seat of Go vernment? By many it is thought not. If not—Who were his advisers to this mea sure? Who of his friends were against it? Was Mr. Van Buren for or against it? Was Mr. Calhoun for or against it? After it had commenced, were any of the members of the first cabinet against it? What is the history of the Black Book, and who formed it?---what the character and object of it? I put these questions to Gen. Green, because 1 believe nobody is more competent to answer them. [commonicated The strenuous exertions made to induce the people of Virginia to stultify themselves, refer red to in an article in the Alexandria Gazette of this day, have been observed by the writer in a recent journey through some counties in the State. The writer saw a Van Buren in structor riding about, wheedling, deceiving, and cajoling people, secretly, underhandedly, and, in his opinion, meanly. Suppose these at tempts succeed:—at once the New York tactics are adopted and the Old Dominion becomes chained to the car of the Albany Regency. Where is the Virginian whose cheek does not redden at the contemplation of such a result? Will the people of mv native and beloved state suffer such a degradation? I give yon the hand of fellowship. Mr. Editor, and pray God to pro tect Virginia! A Virginian. Sept. 5, 1S34. [communicated.] As it appears the Jackson party have repre sented Gen. Jackson as a King on their packs of cards, I would suggest an additional im provement. and request that another high oeei cer of the Government be dressed up as the Knave.

COLEMAN will, on the 1st of September, at her residence on the east side of Washington street, be-, tween Prince and Duke streets, open a SCHOOL for the instruction of Young Ladies in the vari ous branches of an English Education. She will endeavor to follow out the most improved systems in teaching which have been adopted or recommended, aiming to make her pupils well and practically acquainted with all that they learn. To inculcate correct moral princi ples, leaving to parents the entire direction of religious views, will be her duty and her inch- i nation.

Botanical Drops! are every year increasing their long established repu tation. They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin* istered for m»n\ years, as a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary pred'spo'dtion in the patient, and generally appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony’s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvv, Foul and Ob stinate Ulcers. Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Kelfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in eases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples on the face—festering emotions 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.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick town, Maryland. Richmond. Va- July 15, 1830. f|NHE public will be pleased to understand that 1 was JL the original discoverer of Judkins’Ointment, and' sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same; but, hsviug connect ed myself with Ur. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26tii June, 1 have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. N. SUEPHERU. XT" Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud 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 MRNT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, ant had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in wh cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I cmVuded that the Ointment would occasionally fall '"Jo many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process-ne vertheless. it might be progated in this adulterated s tuation, as it might in some degree rcsemole the or.gi 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 ob*un*le di*e**e*.

S. H. P- LEF., New London, Conn. Dec- 1821. _ ~H YGEIAHISDI. 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:— Drown University, l»f-c.25, 18.1:1. To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of llhode I Island. Sir—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the 1 same the inure cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, I may be useful to some of my felluw-men, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. Mv complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly un ler stoo l, I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 18V2, I caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, w th 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 ot 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 I or Strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut led. I spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap petite, and withal, very weak A tew weeks determined that I was in a decline I I 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. But j reli[ise upon relapse, and each bringing me lower i than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of an approaching* dissolution. Thus, i months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke ill the lungs, after which I spat blood, one 1 day. I continued to decline tw omonths longer, when I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. I hail now been tillable to sit op a whole day, for four months and a i half. My feet were cold and lifde-*, sleep unsound, 1 cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy-five t*> one hundred per mi* 1 mite, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, attended with some cough, be. be. Such was my condition, when I first became acquainted with the llygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a dy?e, and increased the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve- In about ten lays, my appetite became good, and fo >d produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, um! in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly all disappeared I took the medicine sixty days regularly every mght, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, l took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundrt d pills, when 1 found myself restored to health. After l commenced the llyg ian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I w«s able to resume my studi s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease Hitherto I have been convalescent; and if my strength is not yet fuMy r« turned, I am certain I have less pains, and am mure free from temporary sickness* than at any time since my earliest recollec tion. Yours, wnth reapect, HORACE T. LOVE. Dn II SiiBiujr.AtiD Moat. Hear Sir—t wish to state that my sister, after severe suffering, and employing a medical man three years, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. II* r complaint was a violent pain ami 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 p.in, almost intolerable; so see vere, that 'lie could not sit up for upwards of three years- It was occasioned by over-lacing Iters nc particle of mercurial, mine rul, or chemical substances, (all of winch are un congenial to the nature ol man, and therefore destine live to the liumin frame,) is found to he perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the must pi asant and benign in it operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how- ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever: offered to the world. This wondetful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by j merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and j being culled a few extra times to the purposes of eva- j citation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of j ratclung cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way I different from their accustumi d habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess Experience, w'hicli is the touchstone of all j human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them has already verified j its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak, 1 the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by theiroperation, bees ise I tiiey clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep- They are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy,1 eostivcnes.s, fee. The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the 1 acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout j the day, mixed in half a wine glass ot water. The genuine Medicines can be had of WM.
