The writer has t witnessed the effects of it in two instan* < ces. The first case last spring?the se- j cond last evening. The first was a young 1 married lady of rather feehle health.? t The second was a young unmarried lady af a perfectly sound constitution and i tound health. The first ate one nutmeg ?the second one and a half?to use her awn language "good fat ones." Symptoms. ? Sudden and alarming agt- ( tation of the nervous system?numbness!' of the tongue and face?intolerable dis- J tress of the eyes?described 09 a sensalion of whirling or violent twisting?deathlike sickness at thestpmach and faintness 1 ?intolerable vertigo, ringing in the cars, j ind the most intense mental agony. The stoninch is rendered almost perfectly in-M sensible to the action of the most stimula-j' ting emetics. This is a very imperfect! sketch, but enough has been said to warn I the render to \>e careful how he eats nut- h megs iu large quantities. Cloves, oil pep-;i permint, spearmint, lansey, &c. taken in large doses, are often attended with disas- I trous consequences.?Portland Adv. 1 Emigration to Trxas.?According to a paragraph in the Men phis (Tenn.) En- ( quircr, emigration to Texas is going forward on a large scale. The editor says: "There is scarcely elbow-room left in our streets and highways leading into town, r?n nrcuiinl r?f the rnnslant nnnrinrr in nf I ts horses and wagons, and the helter-skelter i melee of emigrating paraphernalia. Several hundred families must have crossed i the Mississippi at this point, on their way I to the promised land, within the last six weeks; and the rush is still onward. We almost fear for the population of Bast Tennessee; for not a wagon passes but some dozen cliicls belonging to it, poke their flaxen heads through the holes of the canvass." The Earliest- Language.?One of our Glasgow papers speaks of a new Edin 1 burgh publication, written by Lnchlnn 1 Maclean, to prove the Celtic t<^ be the language oi the first man. It is entitled "Adam and Eve. or the Gcneology of the Gael." The announcer ol the work remarks: "Our readers will, perhaps, be inclined to smile at this title page, and to say that the author cannot seriously mean to establish the point which he professes to prove. But we assure them that Mr. Maclean does really proceed to demonstrate the position; and if every one will not agree 1 with him in the conclusion at which he 1 arrives, all who carefully peruse his book ' will admit, that he has marie ant n rtreftv ? strong case for the Adamite origin of the 11 Celtic tongue. The plan of the work is ( both original and ingenious. After adilu- ' cing the opinions of several celebrated scholars, such as Bayly, Blair, Malcom, 1 and the late professor Murray, as to the antiquity and affinities of the Gaelic Ian- ' gunge, and adverting to the first slate of man, the author brings the animals before 1 the common parent of our race, and shows that the different names which he assigned them, -can be traced to a Celtic root, and are expressive in that language of , some prominent characteristic of the spc- j cies. He then goes on to demonstrate , that every word in the great dictionary of | nature is to be fouud jn the dictionary of ( the Gael. The arguments of a reverend gentleman in Perth, as to the Hebrew br ,i.. i e t> 1 1 mg iiic in j inuuiM', art; ncxi c o in bolted with remarkable success. This j indeed, may be considered one of the ablest parts of the book. Our author ( gives a veiy lengthened specimen of the ( Gaelic, as written by the Gael in the nineteenth century after, and as written j by Moses and others 2(100 years before ( the Christian era; and those who bad not ( previously considered the subject, would ' really be astonished at the similarity which he traces between them. But it is unne- r ccssary to analyse the book farther. We ! are sure that, from what our readers will ' see ntay be expected, their curiosity will be excited, and no Celtic scholar will bo long without a copy. Indeed, every Highlander should be proud of 'Adam 6c Kv?>.' We ihinl? that the derivation are sometimes < rather fanciful, and that the connection \ between some of the words is not alwn\s sufficiently clear but that is just; the fault < which might he expected in any work of a ihe kind. The Gaelic is admirable; and the language occasionally rises irftu elo- i ]ucncc. Mr. Maclean is already well known as the author of a History of Iona, t >ut the present production, wc venture to >redict, will considerably enhance his t amo." c t A great traveller boasted that he had trie t tonor of receiving 'orders" from almost tvery crowned head in Europe. ''Yes," aid Rogers, aside, "orders to quit their a lominions." o PoRTHArT OP THE PRESIDENT.?Mrs. ~ rowle has just finished a very beautiful * nd accurate likenessof President Van ? hiren. It is a fine specimen of portrai- r< ure, and exhibits a degree of talent and s< ikill in execution highly creditable to the irtis*. We understand that it is Mrs. Towle's lesion to make a collection of the porraits of the distinguished men of the ;ountry, in which she has marie some progress. Her likenesses are remarkably true and bold, and we trust 6he will receive that encouragement and support which will insure the successful prosecution of her laudable and laborious undertaking.?Globe. President Houston, of Texas, has offered a reward of $200, for the apprehension of a man named J. II. Nash, who committed. at Bexar, July 20, a wilftfl murder by stabbing a Mexican youth, aged 10 or 17. The murderer, was subsequently seen on the Gonzales road, travelling eastward. He is about five feet eight inches high, black hair and eyes, stout built, ruddy complexion, and about twenty eight years af age. The section of country between the Srecn Mountains and the Connecticut rirer has suffered much damage from a fire which is raging in the timber lands.? rhousandsof acres that have large quantities of hay and grain, besides houses, have also been destroyed. Twelve fine blood horses and mares have been imported from England into Charleston, by Cols. Hampton and Singleton. A detachment of the 2d U. S. Dragoons, on their way to Tampa Bay, Florida, arrived at the new Barracks on Wednesday last in the steamer Pawnee. Capt. T. S. Bryant, 2d Dragoons, Commanding. Lieut. Manila, 2d Dragoons, and Lieut. Brady Green, of the Missouri Volunteers, accompanied the Command. All well. The 1st Infantry under Col. Davenport, were to have left on the 1st inst. from Jefferson Barracks, in the steamer Louisville, destination Tampa Eay.?JY. O. Bulletin. The following is among the resolutions adopted at the late 'tremendous meeting of the Democratic Republicans at Tammany Mali," in New York. 'Resolved, That wo consider the system of collecting the public revenue by the agency of Sub-Treasurers as peculiarly objectionable in principle; that the lau guagc of the Globe in 1834, then the organ of the Administration, truly depicts ''the proposition as disorganizing and revolutionary, subversive of the fundamental principles of our Government, and of its entire practice from 1789 down to this day;" that *'it is as palpable as the sun that the effect of the scheme would be to !>ring the public treasure much nearer the ictual custody and control of the President ban it is now, and expose it to be plunlercd by a hundred hands, where one :annot reach it;" and that any system which in 1834 was fraught with such imminent dangers as to be condemned by a unanimous vote of the Democratic Members of Congress must be now radically wrong, and undeserving the support of a free and enlightened people. Law of Alabama.?An act to suppress the use of Bowie Knives. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Alabama in General Assembly convened, that if any person carrying any knife or weapon, known as Bowie Knives, or Arkansaw tooth-picks, on a sudden rencounter, shall cut or stab another with inch knife, by reason of which he shall suffer the same, os if the killing had been >y malice and aforethought , Section 2. And bo it further enacted, hat for every such weapon sold or given, >r otherwise disposed of in this state, the person selling, giving or disposing of the mmc, shall pay a tax of one hundred lobars, to be paid in the county Treasury; itul if any person so selling, giving, or lisposing of such weapon, shall fail to live in the same, in his list of taxable y ropcrlyvhe shall be subject to pains and Penalties of perjury. Approved, June ?o, 1837. A similar act has passed in the state >f Mississippi* Sorrow for the Dead.?A rich farmer, who happeneJ to be a bachelor, and ,vh<> also happened to die without a will, vas carried ?o the place of interment a;ross some portion of his farm, and thro* i rye field where the deceased had kept pen a narrow cart path for the convclienrc of his agricultural pursuits.
