OCt 11 TO THE PUBLIC. DR. HOUSTON, successor of the late Dr. John Tuaybold, Fellow of the Royal Col lege of Physicians of Persia, tenders his profes sional services to the citizens of Alexandria, D. C., and the public in general, and is ready to be consulted GRATIS in all cases of disease inci dent to the human frame, but more especially in that Virulent and almost yet unconquerable dis ease the CANCER, ns unquestionable authority can prove the cure of the most awfulcase which ever afflicted one of the human family. To those afflicted with this direful scourge, with hundreds of others, he particularly refers to the cure of JAMES BOND, [see engraving below] a slave formerly the properly of Miss Sally Griffith, of this city, w hose desperate situation, though for 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 bis friends, and seeking 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 object of pity, Dr. H. felt confident that he was his Creator’s instru ment to effect his cure, and is now a living w it ness of the truth of this assertion, by proper me dicine, properly applied. To which, five cases of 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 to the persons will be given, on application. A. HOUSTON. M.D. Dr. H. is ready to receive all orders, post paid, at his Office, at the Hoarding House of Captain Nevitf, opposite the Market House, (late Mrs. Mills’ residence,) Cameron street, Al exandria. __ i,ov 5 Certificate of Mr. Robert (Jlenn, Mill Stone Ma nufacturer, Alexandria, L). C. For the benefit ofthe afflicted. This is to cer tify that I was greatly troubled with a most dreadful sore leg, upwards of thirty years; that every tiling 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. I have al so been attended by other physicians, but all to no purpose. Finally, I applied to Dr. A. Hous ton. and, forsaking all others, 1 confided myself to his advice and attention only; and do certify that by his skill and judgment as a Surgeon, he lias made a perfect cure of the disorder with which 1 was so long afflicted. In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto subscrib ed my name, this 3d day of November, 1831. J UflRKRT r.I.RNX. NEW GOODS. CARPETING, RUGS, Ac.

At a meeting of the citizens of Baltimore, convened on the 8th at the exchange, in pursu ance of public notice given by the Mayor, at the request of The Convention appointed to promote the trade and commercial interests of Baltimore,” for the purpose of considering the proceedings of a meeting held in Cumberland, Alleghany county, in relation to the extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio C anal Jesse Hunt, Esq. Mayor of the city, was call ed to the Chair, and John S. Hollins and Ben jamin I. Cohen, appointed Secretaries. The objects of the meeting were then stated by Charles F. Mayer, Esq. with appropriate and impressive remarks, expressive of the deep interest which the citizens of Baltimore feel in the progress and completion of that Canal, and such other works of national character as will advance the welfare of Maryland and her sister States; and at the conclusion of his remarks he submitted the following preamble and resolu tions, which, being considered, were unanimous ly adopted: Whereas it has been declared to be expedient by a meeting of the citizens of Alleghany coun ty recently convened at Cumberland, that a Convention should be held in the ciu of Balti more, at 10 o’clock, A. M. on the second Mon day, the 8th day of December next, for the pur pose of considering and adopting such measures as may seem most likely to cause the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal to be soon finished, and such other works of national character to be undertaken as may advance the welfare of Ma ryland and her sister States; and whereas the inhabitants of this city feel that they have a deep and direct interest, in common with the peopleof Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the West ern Stales in the construction of such works and the completion of that Canal, and desire that the opinions and wishes of the citizens of so large a portion of this Union should be ex pressed in a manner at once so explicit and authentic as to entitle them to the highest and most deferential consideration by all persons in authority—and to insure the triumph of those opinions and the early fulfillment of those wish es;” Therefore it is by this meeting 1. Resolved, l rial we nigmy appiuve ui me proceedings of our fellow citizens of Alleghany county, and cordially unite in recommending that a Convention be held in this city, at 10 A. M. on the 8th day of December next, to be formed of three or more delegates from the towns, cities and countes of the District of Co lumbia, and the several States that may find it convenient to be represented therein,and that feel an interest in the completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the construction of such other works of National character as may ad vance the welfare of Maryland and the sister Stuti s, for the purpose of considering and adopt ing such measures as shall seem most likely to ensure the early completion of the Canal, and tfie construction of such other works. 2. Resolved, That a delegation of twenty five citizens, the Mayor to be one, be appointed by the chair, to represent this city in said Conven tion, and that they have power to fill any va cancy. to add their number, and to provide sui tumr accommodations for said Convention. 3. Resolved. That a committee of correspon dence, to consist of said delegation and fif tv citizens, to be named by the chair, be appoin ted and charged with the duty of publishing and communicating these proceedings to such per sons as may be zealous and influential in pro moting the views of this meeting, and of invit ing their prompt and cordial co-operation. 4. Resolved. That the proceedings of this meeting be forwarded for publication, in the several newspapers printed in Maryland, the District of Columbia, the States of Pennsylva nia, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, In diana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi and the Ter ritories of Michigan and Arkansas. DELEGATION. The following citizens have been appointed and constitute the Delegation, to represent the city in the proposed general convention: Wm. Patterson, S. C. Leakin, Robt. Oliver, Wm.

British West Indies.—The editors of the Nor folk Beacon have received St. Vincent papers to the 16th, and Barbadoes to the 10th ult. These papers contain the details of the un happy disturbances in the colony of British Guiana. The evidences exhibited in the late trial of the desperadoes, prove that the Colony was on the brink of ruin. The ringleaders have been severely handled. One has been sentenced to suffer death; three to transporta tion, and all the torments consequent on it: and of the others, two have been condemned to re ceive 200 lashes each, and many more one month’s imprisonment and 150 lashes.” The Barbadoes Globe, of the 9th Oct. from which we have made the above quotation, then adds—“ These examples ought to be sufficient to prove to the apprenticed laborers in every colony the folly of refusing to perform the small portion of labor which is required of them by law, and convince them that they can derive nothing from illegal opposition but misery and ruin.” The colonies are in a very unsettled state; and rigorous measures must be resorted to, be fore a season of lasting tranquility be restored, j It appears that the measles had broken out j in Barbadoes, and proved very fatal to adults. The papers contain further details of the late i jMirricane at Dominica. There seems to be no limit to the degra dation which the present incumbent is likely to bring upon the office of President of the United States. He has no scruple, it would seem, of entering the lists on every occasion, as a political par tisan, vilifying co-ordinate departments ol the Government, or, as in the recent case of Mr. Poindexter, calumniating individual Senators. Wc are led to these remarks by the following reply of A. Jackson, to a committee of citizens of Mobile, complaining of the substitution of a tri 1 weekly for a weekly mail between that city and i New Orleans: Washington City, Oct. 7, 1834. Sir—On the receipt of the memorial of the ci tizens of New Orleans, respecting the reduction of the daily to a tri-weekly1 mail, between Mo bile and that city, it was referred to the Post master general whose report on the subject I have the pleasure to enclose, i You will perceive that the Post master Gene ral cannot be justly blamed for this reduction. His plan of retrenchment would have brought the expenditures of the department within its re venues in the course of a short period, without 1 touching the arrangements then existing for the transportation of the mail, if Congress had granted the moderate loan applied lor at the last session. This application having been re fused by the majority of the Senate, the depart mentwas of course obliged to take the stepsw’hich were in itspower, from its own resources to meet the demands against it. In the discharge of this duty there has been a necessary reduction in the accommodations to the city of New Orleans; it would seem that no blame therefore can be properly ascribed to him, but to the majority of the Senate, among whom is found the Senators ofyour State, who withheld the appropriation which would have prevented the reduction. I am, very respectfully, your ob’t ser vt. Andrew Jackson. Samuel J. Peters, Esq. j The whole blame is here thrown on the ma jority of the Senate,” for that w’hich the misma nagement and profligate and wranton expendi 1 tures of the Post Office Department alone occa sioned. ___ i Trial of Richmond, the mail robbeh. At the present term of the United States Circuit Court, sitting in Baltimore, Joseph Richmond was tried and convicted on a charge of robbing the mail. Judges Duvall and Glenn were on the bench, and the case was conducted on the part of the government by N. Williams, Esq. District Attorney. We derive the following particulars of the case from the Patriot: Kicnnionu was me l uouuaovti 1 Middletown in Frederick county, where his fu 1 ther was the Principal. He was arrested in April last, at the instance of George Plitt, Esq. 1 an active and energetic agent of the Post Office Department, upon a discovery effected by the agent, that he had taken money out of letters passing through that office, j It had been ascertained that money, trnnsmit ted by letters coming on the routes which inclu ded this office, had been occasionally missing for some months. Proceedings to detect the guilty party had been instituted, as long ago as January last. But counterfeit notes having been chiefly relied on, he escaped for a few wpeks.— At length measures were so skilfully contrived by the Agent, that the discovery became certain and expeditious. In the course of nine months there were up wards of $2000 missing. Richmond confessed that he had stolen about $1500; and there is no doubt he had taken the whole, although he may have forgotten some of the parcels He had learned the trade of a tailor, and was in the practice of quilting the Bank Notes into his coat. He was choice in the notes which he re served; sometimes taking out w'hat he esteemed better, and replacing them with such as he thought were less current. He also moderated (}is plunders at times, by taking part of the mo ney in a letter, then altering the contents so as to correspond with the residue, which was for warded in the letter to its appropriate address. Between the time of Richmond’s first arrest and his surrender by his bail, which w as two or three days, he states that he burnt all the money in his possession, which was about $1100. All the money which has been saved is only $190 that he had lent or deposited. The indictment preferred against him con tained seven counts, and described separate sums, which had been abstracted at different times. On being arraigned, he plead Guilty to all the counts, and the Court sentenced him to Ten Years imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Richmond is twenty-one years of age, of good appearance, had before acquired a fair charac ter and standing, and was, at the time of his ar rest, engaged to be married to an estimable wo man. But cupidity and seeming opportunity, tempted him to hazard all—and all has been lost ___ Mr. Knowles.—Agreeable to previous arrange ments, a large number of gentlemen assembled on Saturday, at the Masonic Hall, Philadelphia, and received Mr. James Sheridan Knowles. Shortly after 5 o’clock, the company sat down to a splendid table, set by Mr. Saint. Mathew Carey, Esq. presiding, aided by Ger. Robt. Pat terson, at the other end of the table. On the right of Mr. Carey was seated Mr. Knowles, and on the left was Mr. Charles Matthews. Gen. Patterson had on his right Mr. Power. After the removal of the cloth, and drinking one or two toasts, John Miles, Esq. gave a toast in behalf of the company, complimentary to the guest of the evening, which he prefaced with some very pertinent remarks complimentary to the writings of Mr Knowles. Mr. Knowles replied in a strain of grateful el oquence, and concluded with a toast to the presi dent of the meeting. Several gentlemen addres sed the meeting, and some fine songs were sung. U. S. Gaz. The New Haven (Conn.)

MOSES HEPBURN, nov 7—eotf 1 ALEX AN Dill A: WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 12, 1834. The Old Federal Party.—It is the custom of certain prints on both sides of the present par ties, but especially is it the custom of the minis terial journals—such as the Globe, Albany Ar gus, et id, omne genus,—to indulge in abuse, and denunciation of the old Federal party, as it once existed in this country. These kicks of the asses at the dead lion,” are probably consider ed wonderfully heroic by the braying parties themselves:—we doubt, however, whether men of intelligence regard such exploits as any thing better than ad cnptandum appeals to pre judice and error, and an atttempt to conceal present misconduct by reference to former dis putes. Those of us who have come on the stage since the subsiding of the political storm raised by the division between Federalists and Democrats, and are, as we are, entirely discon nected from and impartial as to both,—and there fore look back upon that storm with calm and unprejudiced minds,—cannot but feel disgust at the flings that modern malevolence sometimes makes at the most pure, virtuous and patriotic men that ever lived in this country, because they were attached to what they were them selves proud to belong to—the Federal party. It jumps with the humor of the times” to per mit and encourage this course on the part of the political hacks of the day—with how much justness we need not say;—but, like many other liberties allowed by the w isdom of this genera tion, it seems to us any thing else Dut canaiu or correct. Surely a party that numbered amongst its leaders such men as Washington, Hamilton, Jay, and Ames,—with a long list of Revolution ary Statesmen and Heroes,—might be spared the rancorous abuse that is heaped upon it.— Surely a party that mainly assisted in perfect ing our Constitution, and under whose auspices our republican institutions were brought into operation, deserves something more than conti nual reproach. Surely a party, by whom much of what is now the pr ide and boast of the coun try—such, for instance, as the Navy, Ac.—was triumphantly sustained, might be allowed a slight degree of credit. The Federalists them selves, at this day, w hen their party no longer exists, and when they and their former oppo nents have indiscriminately attached themselves to other parties, might well appeal to the Men that once led their ranks, and to many of the Measures they supported, in complete refutation of all that malice now invents to defame the eharactcYs of the first, and depreciate the ex cellence of the last. The impartial Historian when he comes to write out the records of this country for the be nefit of those who are to live long after we shall all be mouldering in the dust, will put this mat ter in its true light. At present, it is not expect ed that justice will be done. There is an object to be gained by casting odium upon a defeated party —if that party can be called defeated which sees some of its oldest friends and advo cates now highest in favor and power, and ma ny of its principles fulminated in Proclamations from the Palace—there is an object we say, to be gained in such a course, and it will be perse vered in till the subject is worn out and that end gained. Renegade Federalists and recreant Democrats, deserting their ancient faith and basking in the sunshine of executive favor, will unite in bundling their sins upon a convenient scape goat which is to carry them into the wil derness, or out of sight. Let them pursue their honorable occupation. They shall have their reward.” Hut against so unholy a coalition, the honest and consistent old Federalists and Democrats may, and will, and do unite.— They know that both their parties in the heat of excitement committed errors—they know that both sides had good and virtuous men at tached to them—that the causes which led to their divisions, have long since ceased to exist —that they can forgive and forget—that while they retain “pure and undofiled,” each his own political doctrines in reference to things that have passed—they can agree now, in resisting the debasement of the public morals—the ele vation of ignorant and unprincipled men—the seizure of the Treasury—the corruption of the Post Office Department—the system of Proscrip tion and Rewards and Punishments; and the per nicious influence of Executive favor—from all and singular of which, and the rest of the evils entailed upon us by the present Administration we do most devoutly pray, Good Lord deliver us; and as sincerely hope that good Federalists and Democrats may every where heartily re spond Amen! Under the head of “Tricks of the Opposition,” the Globe charges the Alexandria Gazette with “leading off” the opposition press in a decep tion, by ascribing to it (the Globe) an editorial article which appeared in the Philadelphia Au rora, and which contained an outrageous at tack upon the American Judiciary. Now’, those who do not follow the Globe through all its tortu ous course of equivocation, would scarcely be lieve that this charge against us is itself a mere “trick” and “deception.” We quoted some sentences from the Aurora article, and added— “the above has appeared in the Washington Globe.” It did appear in the Washington Globe.—And, what is more, the abominable sen timents there avowed, we believe, are entertain ;d and cherished by the Globe and its masters. Yesterday’s mail brought us no additional re turns from IheJNew York Elections—the matter, however, now excites hut little interest, as the lackson triumph throughout that State is ac-t tnowledged, on all hands, to be complete and iecisive. South Americas Republics.—Tlie relations between the United States and the South Ame rican Republics arc destined to be of great in terest hereafter, when commerce shall have done its work in effecting a constant and ready communication between North and South Ame rica. That these may be always friendly, and the benefits of mutual trade, travel and inter, course, continually kept up to the advantage of all parties, is our sincere desire. Connections of a more intimate kind—or on a different foot ing, however, we candidly confess we do not wish to see, and hope never may be effected. We are led to this remark by seeing an ex tract from a paper printed in Rio Janeiro, gjT. ing an account of a series of resolutions intro duced into the Legislative Assembly of Brazil, recommending a political union between that country and the United States, for mutual de fence, A.c. &c. The proposition was not acted upon by the Assembly, and, of course, fe||i0 the ground. It was wise advice on the part of Gen. Wash ington. when he recommended no •‘entangling alliances” with foreign powers. Our South American neighbors would, at best, he but dan gerous allies Their friendship is to he desired, and perhaps sought for,—but it should be a friendship based solely on that reciprocal comi ty which should always prevail among nation*, and which ought especially to be preserved by free governments, and not on an opinion that their situation rendered it necessary to fight and quarrel for them, and embroil ourselvw with other powers w henever they might get in to difficulties. On Monday the Globe came out with another abusive article against the Merchants—to which class of citizens it seems most particularly op posed. It is predicted in the Globe that the Jackson ians will coalesce with the Anti-Masons in Rhode Island, in order to defeat the election ol a Whig Senator. Quite in character. The popular branch of the Legislature of that State, but the other day, passed a series of resolutions condemning the Administration by a vote of two to one: and yet, the Jackson-men would “plough with any body’s heifer,” to defeat the known will of the people. Nevertheless, re believe in this case they will be foiled. The General Election of Massachusetts, for Governor, Members of Congress, and ol the State Legislature, took place on Monday. We believe they have four sets of candidates—those of the Whigs, the Anti Masons, Workingmen and Jacksonites. The election in Delaware took place yesterday. After which, we shall have no more general elections until that of Virginia, which takes place in all the month of April. __ Will the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, without prejudice”) as a man of taste and io a spirit of candor, repeat that he thinks Mr. Leigh’s Petersburg speech “flat, stale, and un profitable”? If he does, we shall entertain a very different opinion of his taste and his can dor from that which we have been accustomed to hold. No!—the Editor of the Enquirer knows that it is one of the very best political speeche* to which these exciting times have given origin. Mr. Parker descended in safety in his balloon as far down the river as St. Mary’s County, Md.,—having travelled about eighty miles in the short space of one hour and ten minute*. He took the Steamboat Fredericksburg for Bal timore. and arrived in Baltimore on Monday morning. We have disagreeable reports of the preva lence of the Cholera in Baltimore.

Although the En gines were soon upon the spot, the building was completely destroyed. The fire was thought to have been the act of an incendiary. Our countryman Leslie since his return to England, has been partially engaged in furnish ing a series of designs for Crabbe’s Works:— Wilkie and Allan are also engaged in the same manner, and for the same work. These designs we learn are to be engraved upon steel by the Messrs. Finden. In Municipal Court yesterday, James II. Howe, the Court street Hair-dresser, w as put to the Bar, tube tried on four indictments. The first charged him with having ten similar pieces of counterfeit coin, called half dollars, knowing them to he false, with intent to pass them as HckkI. He was defended by J. C. Park and A. 1 Moore, Esquires, and a great variety of techni cal points wore relied upon, but were overruled. He was found guilty. His counsel then propos ed that he would plead guilty to one of the re mainder of the Indictments, if the others might lie on file. Mr. Parker assented to this proposi tion, ami Howe pleaded guilty to an Indictment for passing a counterfeit ten dollar bill of U. S. l’ank. Mr Parker daily remarked, as the sen tence on the first indictment must by law be confinement to the State Prison for LIFE, and as on the second Indictment, he was liable to he sentenced also, for three years, he did not see any use i.. wasting the time of the Court in trying hint, on the other Indictment, as if found guilty, he could not be sentenced for more than hislil'ei^ three years besides, unless by some gal vanic process, or otherwise, he should be resus citated for further punishment.— Boston Gaz.

Among the passengers in the packet ship South America, which sailed on the 1st instant for Liverpool, were Messrs.

Doctor Bayne and his lady of Prince George’s County, Md., were from home, their two sons, aged 7 and 5 years, were suddenly seized with vomiting and ex cessive thirst. Suspicion was excited on the I father’s mind, on his return, that they were poisoned, which was strengthened by the successive deaths of the innocent children.— The body of the first was dissected and the sto 1 mach with its contents, submitted to the chemi cal analysis of Doctor Thomas P. Jones of Washington City, who, after applying the usu al tests, found it contained grains of arsenic. Circumstances had, in the meantime, transpired, which fixed the suspicion of the horrid deed on a colored servant girl ofaDout fourteen years of age, who, after an interrogation by several persons, confessed her guilt. She said that she had taken the poison from her master’s shop, and put it into some rice and milk, which was the children’s supper. She further confessed, that she was the person who last year made an attempt to burn down the dwelling house, which design was only frustrated by a time ly discovery. But, oh! horrible to relate, she also freely stated, that she had poisoned, a bout two years ago, an infant of seven months old, daughter of the same unhappy couple, then in her arms, which child died suddenly in convulsions supposed to be by cholera. When interrogated for her motive, her answer was, she could not tell. What makes those deeds more atrocious, is that she is the only rotten branch of a family of excellent servants, and had a kind and indulgent master and mistress to serve. _A. W. P.
