M. the Steam-Boat Columbia, according to previous no tice, was launched from Gadsden*& wharf, in handsome style. This boat, for her size and tonnage, draws per haps less water than any Vessel of her class. She is 86 feet long on deck, burthen 113 tons, and what is remarkable, draws but' 22 incites water aft, and 19 forward! It is supposed that when her machinery is on board, she will not draw three feet of water. City Gazette.

Januarv 7 ti Ca mien ?Medical Society. Extract from the minutes 44 the mem bers of this society influenced by a spirit of moderation, have a* f?r as practicable com pared their rates ot Medical charges with those of the faculty of other place*. Do unanimously agree to the following rates to regulate their bills, and that the same be inserted in the Cuntden Gazctic for the information of the public, and as we have been influenced by the sage and equitable advice of the illustrious Rush, we affix so much of his observation on the duties ci Physicians as particulatly applies to the charging lor Medicai services." By order A. De-I.kov, M. D. Scc'ry. 4 " w When we consider the expenceof a medical education, and tne sacrifices a physician is obliged to make of ease, socie ty, and even health, to his protession ; and when we add to these, the constant and painful anxiety .which is connected with the im;M,rtant charge ot the lives of our fellow creatures, and, above all, the i:>es timable value of that blessing which is the object of his service^ I hardly know how it is possible for a patient sufficiently and justly to reward his physician. But when we consider, on the other hand, that sick ness deprives mm of the means of acqui ring money ; that i: increases all the cx penccs of living ; arid that high charges often diMve piticuts from regular-bred physicians to quacks ; I sny, when we at tend to tnese considerations, we should make our charges as moderate as possible, and conform t.?cm to the following state of things." 44 Avoid measuring your services to your .patients by scruplcs, drachms, and ounces. It is an ihiheral mode ot charging. On the contrary, let the number and time of your visits, the nature of your patient's disease, end his rank in his IV.mily or society, de termine the figures in your accounts. It is certainly just, -o charge more for curing an" apoplexy, than an intermitting fever. It is equally just, to demand more for risk ing your life by visiting a patient in a con tagious fever, than for curing a pleurisy. You have likewise a right to be paid for your anxiety. Charpe the same sei vices, tlierefo e, higher, to the master or mis tress of a family, or to an only son or daughter, who cad forth all y ur feelings and industry, than to less important me m man d'-rnand more frequentVisits than are necessary, and if he impose the restraints of: keep ng to hours, by calling in oti.er physicians to consult wiih you upon every trifling occasion, it will be just to make him pay accordingly for it. As this mode of charging is strictly agreeable 10 reason and equity, it seldom lads of accoi diner with the reason and sense of equity of our patients. Accounts made out upon these princ pies are seldom complai led of by them. I shall only remark further upon this subject, that the sooner vou send in your accounts after yotlr patients recover. the better. It Is The duty of u physician to inform his patient of the amount or his obligation to hun at least once a year." ^blSlk bf regelated aafollow*, DoL. CTS VISITS.
