To those afflicted with this direful scoutge with hundreds of others, he particularly rcfers’/o the cure of JAMES BOND. f«ee engraving below} a slave lurineiiy the properly ol Miss oaiiy Griffith, ol this city, whose desperate situation, though lor a series of years laboring under this affliction, yielded to his skill, though it had baf fled the science of most of the Faculty. Hope less of relief, in a reduced situation—abandoned by his friends, and seeking alms of the public, whose eye must revolt at a sight which would shock tiie liner feelings of mankind—at this time, fortunately fortius object ol pity, Dr. H. felt confident that he w as his Creator’s instru ment to effect his cure, and is now a living wit ness of the truth of this assertion, by proper me dicine, properly applied. •To which, live cases ol CANCER, and ma ny other inveterate sores, of long standing, might be added—all of which have been effec tually cured by Dr. Houston, in this city, within the last four months. Satisfactory reference lo the persons will be given, on application. jJLj* Dr. H. is ready to receive all orders, post paid, at his Office, at the Boarding House of Captain N'evitt, opposite the Market House, (late Mrs. Mills’ residence,) Cameron street, Al exandria. _nov 5 Certificate oj Mr. tiobtri l*lenti% Mtu scone mu nu/uctnrert Alexandria, I).

This is to cer tify that I was greatly troubled with a most dreadful sore leg, upwards of thirty years; that every thing the faculty could devise was done to effect a cure in St. Thomas’ Hospital, in the Isle of Wight, England, and in the East India Com pany’s Hospital in Bengal, but without any vi sible improvement of my condition. 1 have al so been attended by other physicians, but all to no purpose. Finally, 1 applied to Dr. A.

THE MYSTERIOUS LADY. We received, a few days since, from Dr. Bar nard, of Stanstead, Lower Canada, a history of a recent case of somnambulism in that place, in almost every respect as extraordinary as the celebrated one at Springfield—and in regard to the morbid acuteness of vision, even more so.— This will be presented to our readers in the next number of the Journal. On the very day of the receipt of Dr. B’s. manuscript, we noticed the arrival in Boston of a female, who is termed var excellence, the Mysterious Lady, whose oowers were represented to be, while in a wa king state, of the same extraordinary charac ter In a word, whatever of the marvellous was contained in the account of the visual or men tal peculiarities of Jane C. Ryder or the Stan stead somnambulist, was represented to have been actually performed by this unique foreign er at any moment she might choose to exert the power. With reference to making inquiries into the truth or falsity of a variety of notices which thus preceded her entre publique. we call- j ed on the lady, and having met with a polite reception, were allowed every opportunity that I could be desired for experimenting, and detect- Ing the cheat if any was practised. In the se quel, we left the apartment, fully satisfied of our own inability to solve any part ofthe series of mysteries which constitute the enigma of her public entertainments. Mrs. Hanington, familiarly called the Myste rious Lady, whose maiden name was Julia Ann Hue, born of French parents, in England, and now in her twentieth year, is an intelligent wo man, of small stature-r-rather taciturn, though agreeable in conversation. Before an audience of strangers, on her first appearance in this ci ty, she was obviously considerably embarrass ed. Her faculty of memory, we were informed by Mr Hanington, is quite as remarkable as anything hereafter to be related, enabling her to repeat long poems, biblical readings, &c. without the slightest effort, after having once read them. We noticed, however, no phreno logical indications of such a memory—her eyes by no means being more prominent than they should be to harmonize effectually with the rest of her fair features. Without further introduction, we snail orieny relate what we saw and heard at her first pub lic exhibition, not pretending to give an opinion upon the subject. Mrs. H. having taken a chair in the centre of a spacious hull, her hus band would place his finger on articles of wear ing apparel of a spectator at the extremity of the room, towards which her back was turned, when she would not only designate the article instantly, but its color also. Whether a bonnet, a reticule, a ribbon, a watch guard, or a head of hair, it made no difference, as she always gave prompt and correct answers. A gentleman ask t ed of what metal his spectacles were made, and, when answered, he further desired her to tell the company how may glasses the bows con tained. She said four. This was at first thought by the spectators to be incorrect; but on examination there were found lo be actually 4 distinct glasses—the two upper ones being for distant objects and the lower one for nearer views—giving an appearance, on close inspec tion, of'a horizontal seam through the centre of each eye. When any particular figure on a watch dial was designated, she told the number —and moreover gave the exact hour and min ute of time, at any distance from her chair. A box was handed around, into which what ever article was dropped was quickly named.— A professional gentleman very secretly placed in the bottom a small cake of liquorice paste.— Mrs. Hanington said it was a cake. This was called a mistake. Well,” said the lady, “it is something black”—and after a moment’s reflec tion said it was liquorice. In a similar adroit manner, the doctor put in a bit of paper, on which he had written something, and which the oracle correctly pronounced to be the word “rhubarb.” On depositing our own shagreen lancet case, she immediately remarked that it was a case containing two lancets. We were not certain how many there were, till the top was opened to ascertain the number, which was found to be as she had said. She certainly ne ver before saw it, nor had it been in any other place that day but a side pocket, from whence it was drawn, in a clenched hand, to be secret ly deposited in the paper box. These are only a few of the many performances, of a similar order, that might be related in illustration of the manner of conducting the exhibition, Another class of mysteries consisted in divin ing what any one might whisper in her hus band’s ear. It should be remembered, howev er, that the name of some animal food, or drink, must invariably be given, or she made no at tempt at a solution. The names of various edi ble fishes, some of which are certainly peculiar to the place, and therefore wholly new to her, were unhesitatingly pronounced as readily as though she were repeating after a master. So it was in relation to the cognomen of wines and liqueurs, by no means familiar to all the coin p°"y- __ vccasionauy, as ii iui me puipvot v> bewildering the spectators with something vast- ]y beyond the reach of ordinarily constructed theories, a stranger was permitted to whisper in another stranger’s ear, and Mrs. Hanington repeated the words whispered, instanter. This particular circumstance militates, essentially, against the supposed confederacy between her self and husband in this part, at least, of these singular performances. Various explanatory suggestions have been made by gentlemen ofclose observation,but none of them are perfectly free from objections. One of the most common opinions seems to be that Mr. Hanington is a first rate ventriloquist, who absolutely gives all responses, and the mysteri ous lady therefore in fact does nothing but dis tract the attention of the astonished bystanders by the flirts of a beautiful Chinese fan. For ourselves, we discovered nothing that bore the least affinity to the actions of a ventriloquist.— Moreover, his back was as often towards the la dy'as otherwise. Ventriloquists have been so Indulgent, several times, as to allow us to place the hand over the larynx, in order to feel the action of the muscles while the individual was exerting his skill to the utmost extent of the art. Mr. Hanington shows no signs, in this respect, of being a venti iloquist. He has called upon as, since the performance, to inquire what views yt9 entertained of the manner of seeing and tearing in this anomolous mode. He assures is that it is but a short time since he made the Jiscovery that Mrs. H. possessed this rare tact, and that it is as unaccountable to himself as to all others. He further informs us that very requently, after retiring from an exhibition, in which she has been considerably excited, as soon as her eyes are closed in sleep she fatigues tierself exceedingly by rehearsing chapters from the bible, and other readings, of which she had a* recollection when awake. Many other cu rious and perplexing anecdotes were related, to convince us that no deception had been piac tised. We have neither comments to make nor tne ories to advance, in explanation of the appar ently mysterious operations here related. 11nat there are tricks in most exhibitions of the kina, is generally admitted; but whether there are any in this, remains to be proved by further ob servations.— Boston Medical and Surgical Jour. ■Lja DREADFUL MURDERS. From the London Examiner. A murder has been committed during the Rast week, under very terrible circumstances.— [icholas Steinberg, a German, who lived in Southampton-street, Pentonville, and carried on there the business of a whip-maker, (in wnich some years ago he received a patent for inventing a whip of peculiar construction, and was generally considered to be a man of very inventive faculty,) murdered, on Monday night, his four young children, their mother, and him self. He went to Germany, it appears, some months ago, on a point connected with a law-suit (which he lost,) and to visit a sister, whom he found anything but kind. On Saturday night last he returned, and would seem to have had 1 his distress completed by the circumstance of the young man, Brockhart Bruneish, in whose care he had left his business, having entirely ne glected it in his absence, and been guilty of great extravagance. Angry words passed be tween them, and the young man was instantly uiscnargeu. ms uiaucss musi uovc iuvivm^« on Sunday morning, as appears from evidence at the inquest. On that day two foreigners call ed at a coffee-house in Carey-street, in a state of great excitement, to inquire for Steinberg, Southampton-street, Pentonville.” One of them, Frantz Langer, came forward at the inquest, and swore, among other things, to this effect:— I arrived in London on Saturday morning, with Mr. Steinberg and his family. 1 was, short lv after my arrival, advised to find out Stein j berg, and get a parcel of goods which were in i his possession, belonging to me, as fast as 1 could, as Mr. Steinberg was a swindler. I got the property, and I left the place, having receiv ed no invitation from Steinberg.”—It is clear 1 that this circumstance must have added to Stein berg’s excitement. On Monday morning he would seem to have taken his determination.— On the knife with which the murders w ere com mitted being produced at the inquest, Mr. Vi render, a cutler, residing in St. Paul’s church yard, said—“ The knife now’ produced 1 sold to a man on Monday last, between the hours of eleven and two o’clock. I have seen the body of the deceased Mr. Steinberg, but I cannot re cognize him as the person who bought the knife. His description answers that of the man who purchased it. It is a common shop knife for cutting bacon, Ac. He merely pointed at the knife in the window, and said he wanted to pur chase it. 1 did not notice that he was confu sed.” Frantz Langer’s evidence enables us to continue the narrative. He says,—“ I saw Steinberg again on Monday afternoon at four o’clock, at the King of Prussia public-house, Lambeth street, Whitechapel. He called again in the evening, when he (Steinberg) threw him self into all sorts of attitudes, and said he was ruined. Bruneish w as there, and he asked him whether he was mad? He replied, that he was almost mad. During the voyage, he was thought to be almost insane. He complained of hav 1 ing lost a law suit which cost him two hundred pounds. When at the King of Prussia, he pull ed out some papers, and in his pocket I saw a long parcel, which I have no doubt was a knile. It was wrapped up in brow n paper.”— A curious circumstance now appears; Steinberg showed great anxiety to have a visit on the night of this day (Monday) from the young man, Brockhart Bruneish. That person swore, that on Monday afternoon he “made an ap pointment to meet the deceased on Monday night last, at 8 o’clock, to take aw’ay his clothes, and receive some money. The deceased looked very pleased. Witness told his master he would, but he did not go according to the appointment, as he feared that the deceased would have an officer in readiness to give him into custody for neglecting his work. In the evening, about 9 o’clock, witness w’ent to Southampton-street, to leave an umbrella belonging to the deceased, but determined not to go into the house of the deceased, but to leave it with the servant next door.—[Did he leave it so?] On passing by the house, he saw a light in the kitchen, and thought there was one in the drawing room. The de ceased was very kind to his wife and children. His sister invited him to Germany, and then char ged him for his board and lodging, after he hud lost his law suit."—We now’ come to the evi dence of his conduct after his return on Mon day. Harriet Pearson, a young servant girl, gives some account of it:—“I have lived with the deceased family a twelve month. I w as not accustomed to sleep in the house. The last time 1 saw the deceased alive was on MondcUf night last, at half-past 8 o’clock, when the cTiildren were in bed, and the master and mist res s*were in the kitchen. The youngest child, Philip, who was four months old, I put him in the mother’s bed, in the back-room in the first floor; the other children slept in the second floor, back-room —the two boys. Henry and John, in a bed. and their sister in a cot. On my return, Mr. Stein berg asked the deceased ladv, whom I always considered to be his wife, if she would go to bed. She replied, that it was too soon. He then told the lady to give me a raspberry cake, which she did. They then naid me my wages, and told me to go home. When I was going out of the room in which they were sitting, my mistress desired me to De mere at six o ciuck uu morning. My master laughed when she made me promise to attend to that order. At a quar ter before six o’clock on the following morn ing I went to the house, and knocked and rang until nine, and, receiving no answer, I went back to my mother, and she returned with me.” The witness then described the entry into the house, and from her evidence, and that of the other witnesses who were present, the following is the state of things that presented itselfon their entrance. In the kitchen, *®r. Steinberg was lying on his back, with his head nearly severed from his body; the kitchen and the whole of his body were covered with blood. A large and long butcher’s knife was lying by his feet, and he had nothing on his person but his shirt and drawers. In the first floor bed-room, where Steinburg slept with his youngest child and its mother, the latter, a fine looking woman, about twenty-five years of gge, was lying on the floor in her night-dress, covered with blood, and her head was nearly severed from her body. She was lying on her face, as if she had sjrugg*e^ ter she had received the wound, and gradually got out of bed, and died through loss of blood. Her infant was lying at her feet, also with it head nearly cut off. The bed and bed-ctothes were completely saturated with blood. The pillow was marked with blood, as if the deceas ed man had grasped hold of it to reach over for the infant, when he killed it in his arms. In th second floor they found a small cot and a bed. In the latter, Henry Steinberg, a fine boy, four years and a half old, was found with his throat cut and quite dead. A little further from the spot, Ellen, aged two years and a half, was found lying on the floor by the side of the cot, with her throat cut from ear to ear. On proceedi ng to an adjoining room to this, they found the brother, John, a year older than Henry, lying on the floor with his throat cut, and to all ap pearance he must have struggled against the at tack. It seems that when he was in bed with his brother Henry, on seeing his father inflicting violence on his brother, he must have got out of bed to make his escape, toeing iuu..» night-clothes,) and ran into the apartment where he was found, which is used as a workshop. On examining the body, one of the forefingers of his left hand was cut off, and it was found about four feet from the body; and the flesh was com pletely cut from one of his shoulders, as if a blow had been aimed at him with a knife. This is a ghastly account, but it is not an ex aggerated one. Nothing can of course explain the horror of it but a furor of madness. The exciting causes have been stated. That he was a person on whom they were likely to operate with strange effect, the evidence ha9 already in timated; and on this point what follows is cha racteristic. The servant girl swore—“ He was quite sober. I never saw him intoxicated. I never heard my master and mistress quarrel while We were in Germany. They seemed to lire on ctry happy terms. My master quarrelled with his sister whilst we were in Germany. Bruneish was discharged by Mr. Steinberg on Sunday last, and he was told to call for his clothes at night. My master had some business to trans act at Hamburgh, where I believe he had a great deal of money owing to him; but I understand he did not get any of it. He never appeared to be poor. Mu master was a very passionate man. When he was in a passion, I have seen him pull his children up by the hair of their heads and ears, and throw them down. Whenever he did so, my mistress was in the habit of mildly re monstrating with him, saying it was not right. When my master came home last Monday even ing, I heard him say he had seen Bruneish drunk in Whitechapel, and he had told him to fetch away his clothes.” Other witnesses swore to his peculiarities of temper and excitement; and in the course of the inquest it appeared that the woman murdered was not his wife. Samuel Edward Steinberg, son of the deceased, depos ed “that he resides at No. 7 Leigh-street, Bur toncresent. He had not seen his father for years. He has seen the bodies, and identified the bo dies of his father and Ellen Lefevre, the deceas ed, with whom he cohabited. She formerly lived as servant in their family. The separation between his father and mother took place seren years ago, in consequence of his connection with Lefevre. Witness said that his father was very easily excited.” This young man subsequently stated his impression that Steinberg was at times insane On the evidence it is impossible to doubt it. Up to the period of this act. his character W ciO null Ul ail uunrai, uigv-mvu-j ry passionate, perhaps, but harmless in inten tion. After his visit to Germany, however, eve ry thing seems to have gone against him, and to have brought him to a hopeless point. The evi dence of his attachment to the women is impor tant, we think. They never quarrelled, it ap pears; and her mildnes always influenced him. Looking at the circumstances of his connec tion with her, and to this evidence, one cannot help drawing the most charitable conclusions possible for human nature. They will be the most just. This man’s despair, his hopeless and unfriended condition, the nature of his con nection with the woman and her children—an uneasy sense, perhaps, of its being to some ex tent criminal, and of its certainly leaving them little chance of subsistence in case of his own death—all combined—may have made even his love for her and her children assume, in its madness, this horribly desperate shape.— The Jury on the inquest, however, after some deliberation, returned a verdict—“ That Nicho las Steinberg did wilfully (or artfully) murder Ellen Lefevre and four children, and that he, Nicholas Steinberg, was felo de ae.” This is a silly verdict; but perhaps it was returned us some litte food for the excitement that prevail ed, and it can harm nobody. The son of the deceased Steinberg, however, was much excit ed on hearing it, and expressed great dissatis faction. The house where the inquest was held, and the premises of the deceased, were sur rounded by thousands of persons. The bodies of the woman and children have since been re moved, according to the verdict, and, on Thurs day night, Nicholas Steinberg was thrown into the poor-ground in Ray-street, Clerkenu’ell.— The indignation of the populace was so great, that it was anticipated the crowd would attack the body of the deceased. A plan was there fore adopted, which diverted them for a time. The crowd was immense. The trick, however, was soon discovered, and people were seen run ning with speed towards thejioor-ground, groan ing and hissing as they went along. By a tre mendous rush numbers got admittance within the ground. A party of men with lighted flam beaux led the officers and the bearers of the de ceased’s body to a deep hole or grave about 18 or 20 feet deep, and after exhibiting it to pub lic view it was taken out of the shell and pitch ed headlong into it; and the hollow sound of the body when it went to the bottom was shocking, and excited a feeling of horror,—but not a soul seemed to sympathize for him. When in the grave, the men with the links shook them over the body, and made contemptuous remarks with the greatest levity! The windows looking into the church-yard were crowded by persons, who cried out—“Why don’t you bum him,” hang him up on a sign-post,” “The wretch, the brute,” &c. The earth was thrown over him, and the crowd quitted the church-vard. The wretched man had on the same clothes as those which he was found in after he had perpetrated the acts. Several persons, however, had cut little pieces of his drawers off as curiosities(!!!) In the Foreign quarterly some time ago there was an article on Foreign Judicial Trials, in which was published the only case that ever oc curred parallel with the present in horror. It has been revived, we observe, by the newspa pers. The madman in this case was a German also—an unordained clergyman, called Uei saw—a man much respected for the general good tenor of his conduct, who kept an acade my foe- the education of youth, in Groninger street, near the Senate House and Exchange, the most cetral and respectable part of the city of Hamburg. His family consisted of his wife and six or seven children, all daughters; and ail wife and children were murdered by him in one night. He effected it by means of his razors. He then left his house, and attempted to drown himself. He failed in that. He attempted to destroy himself with his penknife; that failed al so. He was arrested and died on a scaffold. It was very clear, on the trial, that the murders were committed under the influence of a mad fanaticism of fear for the future prospects of his children. In one of the apartments where he murdered two sleeping infants, he left untouch ed two of his pupils. Bears—Child Destroyed!— During the present season, bears have been very frequently seen westward of this place, most generally in or near corn fields. A letter from Petersburg, Pa. published in the Advocate, states that they are often seen crossing the turnpike near that town; and that a small boy, who had been sent in search of the cows, had recently been devoured by bears in that vicinity. The legs and feet of the little sufferer were found, which revealed to his agonized parents the fate of their child. Cumberland (Aid.) Civilian A similar melancholy event is mentioned in the Bradford (Pa). Settler of the 1st. inst. from which we learn, thnt a small child, in Tioga county, was lately seized by a bear, whilst in a field with some cows, not far from the dwelling but before assistance could be rendered by some men who were in sight, was deprived of life and partly devoured. The same paper states, that an acquaintance in Smithfield had been recently seized, and con siderably mangled by a wounded bear, of which he and others had been in pursuit. lie was sav ed from death, by the timely interference of his comrades.— Balt.

Their stay will, it is probable, be prolonged se veral days.—New 1 urk American. Extraordinary Disclosure.—We have good authority for saying, that, in the case of Otis, who was on Saturday sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Captain Crosby, new information of rather an extraordinary character,and decidedly confirmatory ofsomeoflhe statements made by him at the time of the sentence, in his own ex culpation—has been brought to light within a day or two. Weunderstand also that it putsu new aspect on the case, but are not at liberty, under present circumstances, to state the particulars any further than to remark that it is thought highly probable they will be considered by the public an inducement quite sufficient for a strong interposiion in behalf of a much injured, if not a perfectly innocent man.— Boston Atlas. A Curious Case.—A young fellow was taKen up in the yard of a house in Boston, w ho was first taken for a thief; but it appears he was wait ing for one of the female domestics, w ith w hom he was acquainted. On appearing at the pol ice office, he was found to be a young man who in the day time promenades the street, dressed in the extreme of fashion, with ruffles to his wristbands, but at night fall he assumes the ha biliments of a beggar, and goes around begging cold victuals, which he depositesin a large but ter box, and carries to his home, which he calls bachelor’s hall. It was searched, but nothing was found excepting a trunk ofelegant wearing apparel and his box of cold meats. He is said to be perfectly temperate, but incorrigibly lazy and an incurable libertine. _ DBA WS T1//S DA Virginia State Lottery, For the Benefit of the Town of Wheeling, Extra Class No. 12, Will be drawn at Catts’ Tavern.

R. Cobb, a merchant, who on commenc ing bu>fo«*ss, “entered solemnly into partner ship with Jesus Christ,” on condition that if the Deity would make his business profitable, so that he should make a clear gain of $20,000 he would thereafter give the Lord one half the nett profits; if he should make $30,000 he would di vide three-fourths to th»* Lord; and till which he gained over and above $30,000 should be whol ly the Lord’s. The firm proved a profitable one, and in consideration therelore he punctu ally paid over to the Missionaries according to his agreement. It strikes us that there is something highly censurable, not to say blas phemous, in all this. A partnership in trade with Jesus Christ? Pray under w hat name did Mr. Cobb do business! We dare not write out thename of the impiously pretended firm. As Br. Crush says; Can it he wondered that scep tics laugh and are pleased with such conduct in professing Christians? It confirms them in their belief that all religion is a humbug, and the real god worshipped is and that all this parade of goodness and piety is a mere trap to catch gulls with.” The following humorous examination ofsome British tars taken prisoners by the French is from "Leaves of My Log Book.” “Comment vous appellez-vous?” inquired the French officer, addressing a thorough old tar of the Smollet school; “Comment vous appel lei vous!” ‘Ax the marine there,” replied the veteran: I no parley farstand, but the Jollies all speak Dutch.” ‘•.Non, non, non ami,” returned the French man—‘ I no mean dousch—I no mean de cen tre?—your appellez— Sucre!
