HWS Cholera Remedy for Cholera Morbus. CHOLERA, Summer Complaints, of children &c may soon be expected, and the following medi cine is a sure and safe cure. No family ought to be without one bottle at least, when it is notorious thousands of children dio annually in this State with that obstinate complaint. Diseases of the bowels frequently effect grown persons as well as children and no instance has yet been known where this medicine ha* been ussd where it has failed- It is therefore confidently recommenced to every one constantly to have it in their houses. READ AND BELI ;VE. This remedy lias been used by many eminent physicians, some of whom have charge of the largest Hospitals in the Un.ted States, where the Cholera has prevailed to a great extent, and bven fatal to the intemperate, aged slnd lunatic persons. Their con fidence in this medicine is such, that they say they are not afraid of the most inveterate cases of Asiatic Cholera, when taken in time. The following are only a small proportion of the certificates I have of the efficiency of this certain remedy for the Cholera. Those opposed to quacke ry will at once see that this is nothing of the kind, for those who have subscribed their names to these certificates, live among us, and are known to be men of the first standing, and upon whose word the ut most reliance can be placed Directions. ? Take a table spoonful of the mixtuie, with the same quantity of water, every hour or half hour, as occasion may require, until vomiting, purg ing and pains have ceased. In common, ordinary cases of diarhoea, a tabl<* sp<?onful of the mixture may be taken three or four times a day, and repeated at night on going ;? bed. This medicine has been administered to children afHicted with diarhoea, or cholera morbus, cholera infantum and summer com plaints, with complete success. In no case has it failed to cure the most inveterate attack. The best mode of administering it to children, is, to take a tea spoonful of the mixture and mix it with the same quantity of water, giving it as above directed ? a little sugar may be added to make it m^re palatable. WKeep the bottle well corked. When the cholera wr.s raging her ? to a great ex tent, the Rev. Dr John French, had occasion to use this preparation twice in his own family, and has gfven the following certificate of its efficacy : "On Thursday my little son came home from school, making great complaint of sick stomach and pain in the bowels. He looked to be quite sick. I immediately gave him a dose of this medicine ; he was presently relieved, and has not complained since. "On Friday, while absent from home, a white girl, iviugat ray house, was taken with nausea and painl in tne bowels. My wife gave her a dose ot this me dicine, and to use her own worls, it acted like a charm. She was well before I returned to the house, and has remained so ever since. Norfolk, Sept. 6th, 1332. This certificate, which adds no little weight to the value and importance of my medicine, i* given by the Rev. Arthur Cooper, Inspector of our Borough, and I have no doubt his name will be recognize I by every individual in this section of the country. He presents it cheerfully, believing it to cause many to possess what he considers to be the most valuable of all med cines. I am sure it will convince those who have an abhorrence to patent medicines, that this is no quackery. Only read this. Norfolk July 17, 1835. Mr. R S Bernard ? Sir, I am greatly opposed to anyihing like quackery, but when 1 reflect upon the good your invaluable remedy has done, and might continue to do, if made generally known, I am wil ling to throw aside any thing like prejudice, and freely give my opinion upon your medicine. In my si'ua tion of life, it frequently happens that diseases of every kind come under my observation ? but the major part of them seem to b?, at this season of the year, premonitory symptoms of Cholera- -many of which, I have no doubt, prove fatal for want of such a preparation as yours. Now, sir, the remedy for Chole-a (as you call it) is the very thing that is want ins: to stay the pjpgress of this distressing diseaseed This I speak from experience I have not only usis it repeatedly in my own family, bnt have adminis tered it to many others, and I can with truth say its effects have surpassed my most sanguine expecta tions. In several cases where the '"owels were in a most deranged state, other remedies had been ad ministered, until really the patient was in great dan ger of dying, and from simply giving a dose or two of your remedy for cholera as described, immediate relief was found. In one instance 1 used it upon a servant, a member of my family, that was laboring under a dreadful bowel complaint, spasms and vomit ing ? for some time my wife and self had serious ap prehensions that she would die ? but after giving one dose of your remedy for cholera, the vomiting ceased, the pains gradually disappeared, and the next day she entirely recovered. I have also used this medi cine with children troubled with bowel and summer complaint, and in no case has it failed to cure them. Mofct willingly do I recommend it to my acquaintan ces, and hope all prudent persons will avail thera l selves of so valuable a medicine ARTHUR COOPER.

I wish I was where Anna lies ; For I am sick of lingering here ; And every hour Affection cries, Go and partake her humble bier. I wish I could ! for when she diod, I lost my all ; and life has proved, Since that sad hour, a dreary void, A waste unlovely and unloved. But who. when I am turn'd to clay, Shall duly to her grave repair, And pluck the ragged moss away, And weeds that have 'no business there V And who, with pious hand, shall bring The flowers she cherish'd, snow-drops cold, And violets that unheeded spring. To scatter o'er her hallow'd mould ? And who, while memory loves to dwell Upon her name forever dear, Shall feel his heart with passion swell, And pour the bitter, bitter tear ? I did it: and, would fate allow, Should visit still, should still deplore ? But health and strength have left me now, And I, alas ! can weep no more. Take then, sweet maid ! this simple strain, The last I offer at thy shrine ; Thv grave must then undeck'd remain, And all thy memory fade with mine. And can thy soft persuasive look, Thy voice, that might with music vie, Thy air, that every gazer tock, Thy m .tchless eloquence of eye ; Thy spirits, frolicsome as good, Thy courage, by no ills dismay'd, Thy patience, by no wrongs subdued, Thy gay good humor ? ban they 'fade !' Perhaps ? but sorrow dims my eye ; Cold turf, which I no more must view, Dear name, which I no more must sigh, A long, a last, a sad adieu ? Tea , Cofftty and Tobacco. ? Three plants at this moment connect three different quar ters of the globe, which for ages would have known little of each other without them. ? China is connected with England by scarcely any otherlink than her tea ; forthree hundred years tobacco was the sole link between En gland and the Western world, and Arabia is to^this hour scarcely bound to us but by her coffee. Such are the slender but powerful sources of national connexion. The discov ery of coffee was not made until the latter part of the thirteenth century, and, like any -other great discovery, it was the result of chance, adopted by necessity. An Arab, the ScHeykh Omar, fell under persecution in his own country; he and his disciples fled to a mountain in the province of Yemen, where, in the desert, all usual food failed him ; a coffee berry there grew wild, and the distress ed refugee, as it was too hard for him to mas ticate, tried its effects in boiling; he drank the liquor, found himself revived, and made it im mortal. Yet recommended as it was by its refresh ing properties, its spontaneous growth, and still more, such is the absurdity of mankind, by the example of a fool or knave, who called himself a saint, coffee took upwards of two centuries to make its way into the world. ? Even in its own country it was as dishonored as a prophet among his kindred; and near as EgyP1 was, it was not till the third century from its discovery that it insinuated itself into the sober potations of the Egyptians. It is sel dom that the'worid isindebted to superstittion for anything except carnivals and cardinals ; but the follies of the Arab devotees in the land of the Pharaohs, who win golde opioions of men by extravagances that would degrade tlje mules they ride, were the first parentage of Egyptian coffee-drinking. Those wretched people, spending half their existence in mor tifying the wi.hered flesh on their tawny bo dies, found coffee essential to keep their bodies and souls together. The Turk next adopted it. It suited his laziness, and his stupidity. The showy barbarian wanted nothing but tobacco to complete the curse which, to the slave and to the sensuolist, turns all theenjoy ments ofthe senses into evil. Tobacco came to add perpetual intoxication to his catalogue of wilful calamities. It is a remarkable in stance of the perversity of the human will when left to itself, that while coffee, with all its singular powers of cheering the mind and refreshing the nerves, took nearly four hun dred years to make itself known in Europe, *nd while the potatoe is scarcely more than coming into use in a large portion ol the Con tinent, tobacco took but little more than halfa dozen years to be known as far as ships can carry, it; that it is now the favorit e filth of every savage lip within the circumference of the globe ; that it fills the atmosphere of the Con tinent with a stench; that the Spaniard sucks it, as he says, for the heat ? the Dutchman for the cold ? the Frenchman, because he has nothing else to do? the German, because he will do nothing else ? the London and Amer ican apprentice and loafer because it makes him look like a gentleman? and all because it is in itsjown nature the filthiest , most foolish, dullest and most disgusting practice on the face of the earth. [Blackwood. New Orleans, Nov. 3. Another dreadful accident has occurred upon our waters, which have lately become the scene of so many heart-rending and ap palling catastrophes. The steamer Mon mouth left this port about a week since, la den with several hundred Indians, a portion of the emigrant Creek tribe as passengers. In travelling up the Mississippi, through Prophet Island Bend, she was met by the ship Trenton, in tow by the steamer Warren descending the river. It was afterdark, being near eight o'clock at night, and through the mismanagement of the officers and the ob scurity of the scene, a collision took place between the meeting vessels and the Mon mouih immediately sunk from the violence of the concussion. Out of the large num ber of Indians on board, near three hundred perished. Whether any of the crew were saved or not we have not learned. The mis hap is ascribed chiefly to the neglect of the officers of the Monmouth. She was running in a part of the stream where by the usages of the river and the rules of the Mississippi Navigation, she had no right to go, and where of course the descending tow did not expect to meet her. Here is another evi dence QjC.the gross carelessness of a class of men to whose charge we often commit our personal safety and precious Jives. ? Bulletin. - The following dreadful narrative is from the London Globe : Clifton, (Bristol,) Sept. 29. ? A cir cumstance occurred yesterday, which has thrown our beautiful village into a stale of the utmost excitement. It may not he gen erally known that at nearly the summit of a cliff rising 300 feet above the surface of the river Avon, and which is commonly called St. Vincent's rock*, there is a hole or nearly circular aperture extending 20 or 30 yards inward, and to which an underground pas sage .has lately been excavated by the pro prietor of the Clifton Observatory. About noon yesterday, an elderly gentleman, ac companied by a young and lovely female, appeared at the door of the observatory, and requested to be admitted to the "Giant's Hole,'' as this cave is generally called. ? While one of the attendants went for a torch, with which to light them through the pas sage, the door-Keeper, observing that the gentleman seemetryn a state of great excite ment, muttering to\ himself in a low tone of voice, asked if he was not well, hinting that it might be better he should rest himself ere he ventured into the close air of the cavern. This intimation was either not heard or not heeded; but the lady said, "I am much obliged to you for your attention, but my husband is subject to these fits of absence." The torch-bearer, haying performed his office, left them leaning over the balustrade, at the outer entrance of the cave, enjoying J the view of the picturesque landscape on I each side of them, and of the river rolling at their feet. What remains of this catastrophe can only be told by the people who were walking under the rocks at the time. They state that they saw a lady and gentleman leaning over the balustrade; the gentleman! soon turned round, and could distinctly be perceived using violent gestures to the lady, who, terrified, sank to the ground, clinging to the railing; they then saw him attempt to lift her up by the waist, which she resisted, still holding fast to the iron rails, and utter ing the most piercing screams. He at last succeeded in lifting her up to the top of the railing: the people at the ob servatory, hearing the cries, hastened to the scene, but not in time to save the victim. He no sooner heard their footsteps, than, with a jerk, he hurled her into the depths below ; for a moment he steadfastly regarded the body of the unfortunate lady as it whirled round and fell upon the ground a disfigured mass, and then with a spring, and a demoni acal laugh at those who were on the point of seizing him, he cleared tlie barrier betwixt him and eternity. But a just Providence ordained that he should suffer acutely for his double crime; he fell upon the pointed pin ifacle of a rock, and, there impaled and writhing, the wretched man hung for nearly a minute ; gradually his hold relaxed, his joints stiffened, and he fell heavily about ten yards from the body of his wtfe. Those that ran to the lady when she fell, only heard her repeat these words : 44 My God ! I am inno cent !" On inquiry, it has been ascertained that they arrived at the Gloucester Hotel the night before, from London ; but all attempts I to discover the name or address of the parties bars proved abortive. New York, Nov. 7. ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND. The packet ship Westminster, Captain Moore, arrived last evening from London, via Portsmouth. Capt. M. left Portsmouth on the evening of the 10th of October. We are indebted to our correspondent for the' Lon don morning paper of the lOth^rttoe day later than previous advices. The London papers of October 9th con tain the bill to authorise an issue of Treasu ry notes, and the bill for extending die time on duty bonds, with other advices from the United States to the 20th September. The London Courier of the 7th contained an extract from a letter writtenjiu New Yorki giving a very unfavorable a<?oust of the prospects as to the liquidation qf outstanding claims held by the suspended American houses in London, and stating that it was very doubtful whether 10 per cent, would be realized on the whole amou letter av?w?4, on the other. ha ra, "that tfffr Browns, Barings and others, who rode through the storm in England, would realize a large proportion of the amounts due to them. The reason assigned for this differ ence was, that the American debtors would be quite willing to cheat those of their credi tors from whom nothing could be expected hereafter, but that they would make great efforts to retrieve their credit, where credit might be valuable in future. We think that our merchants would be doing only justice to themselves, in trying to find out the author of this calumny, and be stowing upon him some public testimonial of their gratitude for his kind efforts to exalt their character. The Courier of the 9th contained the fol lowing satisfactory refutation of the slander. We have tbe best reason for believing that the discouraging account contained in an extract from a letter, published in our paper on Friday, of the attempt to realize the assets of the suspended American bouses, is far from being in accordance with the facts. ? We understand from those who are best in formed on the subject, that the prospect of the assets being eventually realized is even more favorable at present than it was, though more time may be required, than at first sup posed. No instance has occurred of a pre ference having been shown to the claims of those London houses that have not suspended I payment. Among other errors contained in | the extract from the letter, it was stated that a partner to the house of Barings had taken his departure from America, 1 hough no partner in that house, we are informed, has been in America for upwards of eight years. A letter has been addressed by the Secre tary of the Admiralty to the secretary at Lloyd's, warning the British ship comman ders, on the authority of the American pa pers, to beware of the Texan cruisers, by some of which British merchantmen are reported to have been captured, and desired the government packets to treat the Texan cruisers as pirates. This does not look much like the "favorable disposition on thV part of Great Britain" with which Mr. Me mucan Hunt threatened our government, in his letter to Mr. Forsyth. Sir George Gipps, recently ODe of the commissioners for Lower Canada, left Lon don on the 9th of October for the purpose of embarking for New South Wales, to as sume the government of that colony. The American minister transacted busi ness at the Foreign Office on the 9th of October. His Majesty the King of Hanover retains his rank as a field marshal in the British service, to which he was raised in 1813. A new association has been formed in I London called the Electrical Society. The [ address read at the first meeting, sets forth, that whereas the cultivation of electricity must inevitably confer the most important benefits on mankind, &c., therefore the so ciety is instituted to ensure the co-operation of experimentalists, and the collection of more numerous and explicit data, & c. The number of professional beggars iu London is estimated at 8000 ; their receipts are supposed to a\^erage 30 shillings sterling per week. At least 7500 of them are sup posed to be impostors. ''Thomas Clarke, alias Robinson, described as an illegitimate son of George IV,'' (we quote from the Report in the London Courier,) was brought up at one of the Lou don police offices on a charge of theft, and remanded for examination. The intelligence from Spain is a day or two later than we Lutd before. The Cortes had passed a vote of censure on Pio Pizarro, late minister of Finance. He resigned, of course, and was succeeded by Senor Perez. Senor Belanzat has displaced General San Miguel, as minister of war. The ministers of justice and the interior have also been changed. The new ministers are not mem bers of the Cortes. General Quiroga, commandant of Madrid, removed the restriction on the press, on the 26th of September, but the city and province still remained under martial law. Don Carlos, in his rapid flight from before Madrid, left behind him his set of false teeth ? almost an escape "by the skin of his teeth." Advices from the army are to the 27th of September. The Don retreating in the di rection of the Ebro, and the Queen's gene rals in close pursuit. The Don had ordered all his corps d'armee to concentrate at Lo- 1 dosa, on the bank of the Ebro. It is evi dent that he cannot maintain his ground to the South of that river. The marriage day of the Princess Mary, daughter of King Louis Philippe, was ap pointed ? the 14th of October. The con tract ratified by the IJjng of Wirtemburg, uncle of the Prince, was expected at Paris on the J3th. Viscount Walsh, Editor of Le Mode, had been convicted of publishing a portrait of the Duke de Bordeaux, and sentenced to a month of imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs- The trick by which the portrait was carried throughout the ordeal of the censor ship, before publication, has been heretofore described in our columns. The average of the prices of wheat of the first quality at Hamburg, Amsterdam, Ber lin, Antwerp, and Stettin, is 31s. lid. the quarter, and the mean price of the wheat of the lft qualify in kondon, being 64s. th$ quarter, it follows that tlie mean price of London is 100^ per cent, higher than of the five above mentioned places. London, Oct. 9. Evening. ? Consols have been without va riation all day, and very few of the dealers present in the house.

Before I enter upon the duties of the office to which I hire been called by your favorable opinion, I must avail myself t>f the present opportunity to express to you the deep sense of gratitude 1 feel for this proof of jour renewed confidence. ^&iIstT;do very sensible of the tefe ui douiPlflc', In the importaace of the trust you have confided to me, I cannot but fed the weight of responsibility which it brings with it, and my inability to serve the State to the exteirt. of its wants, and my own wishes.? It is some relief, however, from the conscious ness of my deficiencies, that the office has been conferred, not assumed, nor sought for : that in the canvass I left the election to the free and unbiased suffrages of the people : that I excited no expectations, alarmed no fears, made no promises, and shafl enter office without incurring an* obligations, but in ac cordance with the public will and the require ments of the solemn oath I am about tio take. In conferring office, I shall ? select from those whose services I can command, thei>est qualified to do what the law requires. JF jjMfr ing the greatest value upon the freedom of political opinions myself, I shall endeavor to do justice to others who may differ from me. Those who have sought the aid of party pow er to procure office, by ejecting faithful in cumbents, can scarcely expect to escape the application of the same rule of conduct to themselves. I believe it to be important to perfect our State institutions by reforming the Constitu tion, simplifying and rendering certaio the laws, improving the mode of their adminis tration, making their execution efficient, and correcting the defects of our system of public education. ? The rapid settlement of the Cherokee coun try, the abundance of its iron, lime and mar ble, the fertility of its soil in producing grain and tobacco, and its distance from navigation, have created new and strong inducements to the State, for availing itself of the improve ments which are constantly making m the . constractioa of railroads, to develope the great resources of that portion of it, by Increasing the facilities for carrying its heavy productions to market. - * ^ , The extraordinary assumption of authonty on the part of the late President of the United States, in taking the control of the Jrom Congress; his policy in tl lis meot; the vast increase of the expenditures oi the General Government ; the derangement of the currency; the stoppage of specie pay ments by the banks ; and the embankments of all concerned in trade, I consider mattea of great and pressing importance to the peo ple, and demanding their most decided con trol over the operations of their government. Whilst I believe that the Banks of this State did what was useful to the community, Jn stopping specie payments, and that they sbonld be exempted from all penalties for so doing, I believe also that the Legislature should secure the continuance of the present confi dence in those institutions, by compelling them to resume specie payments as soon as the state of commerce and its exchanges will P I believe it to be our highest political duty, to. retain the organization of the Government s in the form which our forefathers gave it ; lim itinc the United States to legislation upon the general subjects specified in the Constitution, and preserving unimpaired the rights of the States and the people. Our peculiar domestic relations, slave-labor, and its productions, ren der this duty imperative upon the southern people. These interests are in constant danger of beinc sacrificed to selfish cupidity or the zeal of fanaticism, and being represented m the General Government by a minontv/as they ai ways will be, can only be protected hy UDceafr ing vigilance. Ought we to be the read.?m strengthen the hands of the majority by ? citing alarms for the Union whenever the spirit Of resistance is shown to the encroach meutsof power? The majority can ?lwayattLe care of themselves. They will do more .Jl*y will, if not prevented, render the peetjh - torests of the minority subservient to their advantage. Instead of strengthening the hands of the General Government, our true position is, to stand by the powers of the States and the people, as the surest safeguard, of our rights of liberty .and ofproperty. Knowing from experience the difficulties to be encountered by your Chief Magistrate s in times of high party strife, I am sure I shall I stand in need of your kindest indulgence and I most liberal support. Unconscious o y ! selfish object in accepting office, I trust my conduct will be directflje to the public good. I amnow ready to take the oath of office.
