^ -COOKlSrt. I } Sin,?lu the Island of Jersey, England r they have a mode of cooking which is ' l peculiar to those Islanders whose govern- ; ; ing principle is to make a little go a great way. Independent of this, however, j when the process is properly conducted,1 the delicious flavour and richness which is communicated to the smallest quantity j e and quality of the animal food employed, i is a very strong recommendation for its , c adoption, which requires neither extra I ] trouble nor expense. c The meat to be operated upon, is first f cut into steaks and fried with shred t onions in butter, over ? quick fire, until it is well browned and about half cooked; it is then transferred altogether into a ; P wtewpan, water being added to form a considerable quantity of gravy, when the a process is completed ; and the whole is ja left to simmer for the space of six or ^ eight hours, when, the proper seasoning j heingjadded, it i* served up hot?a disli1 ( fit* for a President! I well remember j i meeting some friends in London, whoj | <in describing a dinner at which they were i present'the day before, the: tickets for ! t which were a guinea each, they all spoke 11 in rapfiifea ofdi dish. of beef-steak and F onions co< ked after th?3 manner, dec la r.: ^ ing i% to b? superior to nil the venison j ^ game" and poultry at the tahle. Will j * your readers try the effect, even with hard ,* and lough meat of inferior quality ; n?.t ^ however., to the exclusion of that which j is -yo'arqr, Cat* and tender.

Editors?It is well known that | ? tire greAt enemy of the Ruta Bng.i (and 's other.tarjiipj crops is the small flea or j fly that destroys the plants almost as soon tsi as" they appear above ground ; and as the r< crop is becoming extensively cultivated is is'vcry important that some method he i j. devised and made known for guarding;^ against this insect , j tj i kaviv long been in the practice of ? raising Rata Ragas and for the past five j |f years have not failed of obtaining a good j r< crop. My mode is simply to soak the ! seed 21 to 4* hours in Tanner's 0i/, and ! h then roil it in plaster to facilitate the! ri sowing. A very small quantity of oil is ' sufficient, as it is only necessary to mois. b ten the seed thorougly, and allow it to ; penetrate. Tile offensive odor of the oil j " imparted to the seed, and the first leaves i o of the young plant are so impregnated ' ^ with it that the flies will not eat them. I have frequently tried the experiment of * towing a small quantity of seed without any preparation, and have almost inva- Q riably found these plknts* nearly or quite ^ destroyed, while those from tlie prepared j atfed escaped uninjured. u " To the incredulous I would sav. the . " t1 trouble is hut little, the expense nothing r therefore, try the experiment. v The oil does not seem in the least to n injure the vitality of the seed. I have n known it to vegetate well after soaking u ten days in the oil; but 1 think two days q is sufficient, and prefer it to a longer peri- tl od. ? I. R. PARSON'S. ? Perrv, N. Y.

The morning * our was consumed in presenting memo* I ials and petitions, and in remarks hv Mr. ' "allmadge and others on the subject of a { ankrupt law, which were suggested by 1 lemorials on that subject. The follow, t ig is a part of the remarks of Mr. < \illmadgc. After presenting a mem. t rial from citizens of Missouri in ivor of a general bankrupt law, 1 t/r. T. said he had heretofore presented umerous petitions on this subject, not nlyfrom his own S'nte hut from several 1 thcr States in the Union. I have, said ie, purposely forbore to to occupy the ' ime of the Senate with any remarks J ipon them. I came here to work awl not Dtalk. We ail anticipated a working, lot a talking session. 1 am prepared to; ote on all questions which will he sub. iitted for our consideration. And I would ow break through the rule prescribed to nself but far the attempt, in a certain uarter, to make improper impressions on be public mind in relation to what I deem ne of the very greatest measures of relief /hich can he adopted by Congress at this xtra session, namely, a General Bank* X'FT Law. A friend has called my attention to a I escent article in the Globe on this subject, intended to call the attention of the Sente to it at an earlier day, hut did not rish to interfere with Senators who were ccupyiog the morning hour with another natter* The article is as follows: * The Bankrupt Law.?We perceive great deal of anxiety in different parts f the Union, about the fate of the bankopt law reported by Mr. Henderson, in he Senate, and we can tell them some, j hing about it. It is not in Mr. j May's programme, and that omission is a rath warrant to it. Mr. Clay will not let t pass now. It is good political capital, nd was supposed, at the last election, to ave been worth 800 000 votes to the 'ederal party. Th^ bankrupt law must- j hen u-?it th* aTMirnnrhincr Presidential I. anvass in order fo give Mr. Clay the fuure benefit of it. The petitioners for the t ankrupt bill may, then, go to sleep till it j nits Mr. Clay's political views to pass f rieir bill. In the mean time, the bill i lust either include or not include, banks , t nd trading corporations. To include i r lem is becoming more popular every day; j, nd it is believed that the mass of the De- i ( locrats (perhaps nil of them if the State \ [ anks are left out) would support a bankipt bill which should so include them ; on 16 contrary, the party w ill go against a ill which does not include these institu- ^ ions. If the friends of the hill which . lm the Democrats and puts in the banks he bill may be passed this session without " \e license of Mr. Clay, for a bankrupt iw to include banks would immediately f egulute the currency and supersede the r rguinent for a National Bank." * It is not my purpose to attemut a vin. s ication of the honorable Senator from i Kentucky (Mr. Clay) from the unjust as- i r ersions contained in this article. He i $ ppd* nonp n t m V hands. What I have ! r ) sav is not ho much on his account, as j n acconnt of the sudject to which this s ttack relates. t I had hoped to find, at least, one sub- ^ >ct for the legislaton of Congress, upon ^ rhich the deliberative wisdom of this odv could pass, without reference to the j altry considerations of party. And if iere be one matter, above all others,. ? rhich ought to be exempt from such a a lalign influence, it is that of a Bankrupt e .aw. From the first introduction of this measure, at a former session, down.to.the r resent titje, its friends have endeavored c to divest it altogether of a party charac-1 ter. I appeal to all who were present at j the former discussions of this measure, 1 whether such has not been the course of its friends. With what painful regret, I then, do we see an article, the one just; read, from a paper, recognised as the Organ ' of a proud and powerful party, attempting! to bring this subjeet into the arena of par tv polilics, and to create, whether intentional or not. the most erroneous impres. sions in regard to one of its most devoted friends. The honorable Senator from Kentucky is represented as hostile to the passage of a bankrupt law at this session, because hp wishes to keep the question open as " political capital" till the next Pres. idontial election. Was there ever a more ! unjust aspersion upon the motives and character of one of the most distinguished and high-minded men which this country has ever produced ? I do not wish, nor intend, to indulge in harsh language on this occasion ; but I leave it to be judged of by honorable gentlemen of any and of nil parlies. To be kept as political capital till the next Presidential election ! j Why, sir, what has been the uniform course ot the honorable Senator from Kentucky on this subject, who is not at. this moment in. his seat ? .He has been its open, zealous, devoted advocate, whenever it has been, presented. If, at the; , commencement of this session, he enter, mined doubts whether Congress would be able to act upon it, with the other great measures which wore called for bv the country, is it to be imputed to him 'as a fault ! Or rather, is it to be charged upon him as a premeditated design to defeat the measure ? The gross injustice of such in imputation, or such a charge, i9 apparent on its face. Othergentlemen, friends of this measure, entertained the same doubts. I was not one of that number. I have urged the importance of it from the very first call of the extra session down Lo the present time, as a measure more calculated to give immediate relief to the country than any other. I havo believed, and still believe, that it can bo better acted upon at this, than at ft he regular session of Congress. And I. believe the honorable Senator from Kentucky, is well as other gentlemen, have eome to he same conclusion. It is with uafeign. jd regret, therefore, that I see any attempt :o impeach or distort the motives of hon>rahle gentlemen in relation to their ae. , ion on this great national question ; and nore especially the motives of the distinjuished Senator from Kentucky, when hat patriotic State, through her represen- ( ives here, has so gallantly and disintorjstedly come up to the relief of the unfortunate. The Land But. was reported from the land committe after , which Thk Bank Bill. was taken up and various amendments were proposed by Mr Wright,' all of | which foiled, some of them after considerible debate. The most important of , hem was one to exclude the government ( from holding stock.. ( July 131&. Dr. Linn again furnished , mother dose of his speech on the resoluion calling for the removal of officers, ( ifter which the hank bill was taken up. { llr. Wright moved as an amendment that f the bank should suspend specie pay- j nents, its affairs should be committed to ^ rustees, by due legal process, and then if ^ t should not within a specified time be j eady to resume, tho trustees should pro- ^ *?u?d to close its business. Messrs. j Wright, Buchanan and Benton ndvo- ' :ated, and Mr. Berrien opposed tbe mo- ' :ion. It failed 32 to 25. July 14^. Dr. Linn repeated his old r loses, after which the bank bill was taken jp. A motion was made reserving to * Congress the power to modify or repeal he charter, but again withdrawn. Mr. Clay of Ala. moved so to amend ^ he bill that after suspension, the bills of g he bank should not be received in pay* nent of dues to the U. States. ? On mo- * :ion of Mr. Clay of Ky. the amendment t (vas so modified that the bills should be g cfused only during suspension. Mr. Clay )f Ala. wished then to withdraw the lmendment but could not. It was then | nodified by him so as to make suspension ^ i cause of forfeiting the charier. In this *orm tho amendment was unanimously ^ idopted. . An amendment was adopted requiring he Secretary of the Treasury to remove ^ he deposites from the bank in caae of j luspension during the recess of Congress. ^ Various other amendments were offered ^ md rejected. In the courseof'tb? afterloon Mr. Calhoun remarked he supposed he opponents of the bill might get throilgh ^ he amendments which they had to offer )y Saturday the 17th. J .

Mr. Pickens made a f peechofan hour against the bill, when ^ n the very midst of his subject, appaently not half through it, he was cut 1 ihort by the chair. He remonstrated nuch and loudly, pronouncing the rule * he most abominable regulation that ever 0 vas ever invented by tyranny, and it was ^ ill repeatedly admonished by the Chair hat he was out of order that he finally 1 ook his seat, giving notice that he would ^ is soon as it should be in order, move to 1 imend the hill by introducing a substitute, a riving ample means to the Treasury, but ' ivoiding the evils of which he complain- e id in the bill now in consideration. 1 Messrs. Sergeant, Rhett and Fessenden 1 text spoke their hour, and Mr. Saltonstall ^ ommenced a speech, soon aftef which # he gave way for a motion to adjourn. Mr. Sergeant's speech was mostly in replv to remarks of sectional character made by Mr. Pickens, who complained that injustice was done to the soutli by collecting taxes there and expending the money mostly at the north. Mr. Rhett who succeeded Mr. Sergeant took occasion to make the following remarks. He believed that, next to the sacred hook of God, the Constitution of the United States was the most perfect paper ever seen in the universe, and he should consider it as one of the heaviest calamities, not to the people of this country alone, hut to all nations, should it ever go down. Mr. R. was content with the Constitution. He wanted to see no innovation upon it. If Congress forbor eto trend upon doubtfnl or equivocal ground, the effect of the Constitution would be nothing but peace and harmony, all the wild speculations of libellous intriguing foreigns, Whether uttered behind our hacks or in ourpresence, would prove as false in their result3as they were base and calumnious in the assumptions on which they were founded. All our difficulties?all that marred our harmony or alienated our feelings from each other arose frotn the exerci.se of doubtful powers ; and, unless that exercise should be refrained from, these alienations would increase till this mighty fabric of freedom, the precious labor of our: fathers' hands, must go down and tumble into ruins But Mr. R. was not one one of those who believed that this beloved beloved Union of ours was destined to be dissolved.. The history of the past, exhibited no instance in which a coufederacy of States had been dissolved. No; the tendency of confederacies lay in the opposite direction. They had always he. come more and more consolidated, till some military tyrant arose and set bis foot upon the neck of the whole. Mr. R. did not now fear, and never had feared, a dissolution of this Union It was deeply founded in the affections of the People; it was consecrated by remembrances of the past, and by the most elevating hopes for the future ; till American should forget both, they never would consent to break their bond of union. And he believed that the only reason why other nations had ever doubted the continuance of this Coufederacv was to be found in the contentions of Representatives on that floor. He knew of nothing in the present state of things which hreathed any thing like antipathy against the North ; nor was he apprehensive that the anticipations of evil in which our enemies might indulge ever would he realized by the legislation in that Hall. But when strangers looked on the scrambles which sometimes took place in that House for Government appropriations, and the angry feelings which they sometimes produced, was it not to bo expected that, if they wished our ruin, their eyes would beam with eager hope to see it accom. plishod ? Doubtless they Would. But they were doomed to disappointment; the day had not arrived that was to witness the dissolution of the union of these St?tes. 3fr. R. had seen a very learned jamphlet, the aim of which was to demonstrate from geographical consideraions, and the differences in climate and jroduction, that this Union could not ong continue. Mr R. was no believer in his sort of geographical logic. How ofen were those whose geographical relaion was precisely the same found at daggers points with each other and vice versa1. So; his hope was in the deep sympathy vhich bound together the Anglo Saxon ace?in his associations of the past and he common anticipations of the future, rhese would hold our people firmly to. rether. and he defied the name the malice > >r the wit of man to separate then from sach other. Notwithstanding all this, lowever, he did believe that theConstituion operated unequally ; but if it worked till more unequally; he was not going to jive it up. The Constitution was preci>us to him in itrf permanent principles, hough it might be unequal in its tempertry operation. Make it hut what it was ntended to be ; keep it above all suspic. on by the purity of legislative action ; et the Gene.al Government be what it vas intended to he, our shield against for>ign nations. Do this, and union and li>erty would long be preserved for our poserity. As to what had been said about rivalry letween Alabama and South Carolina, Hr. R. did not believe that their interests "ere in the least degree antagonistic, iet each be content to do as well as it sould, and they might long live in harnony and peace. The same was true of ? 1 .u lie uiiuiii uuu me ;iui nil & iicii ii(icic.ti? larmonized?the North furnished to the South that best of all markets in tne vorld?a domestic market?nor was here a man at the South who would not nfinitely prefer to wear a suit of Ameri. | :an manufacture to being dependent for 11s clothing on any nation on earth. This vas their feeling?it pervaded the whole Jouth, but they could not give up their ights?their pride, their interest, their luty alike forbade it. Give us, said Mr. i., the Constitution ; that is all we ask ; iut we cannot give up us our rights under t, and we willl not. Mr. Fessenden expressed his satisfacion at listening to the utterance of such pinion in such a quarter. His mind had ?en greatly relieved by it, hut he regreted to find, when the gentleman came o explain that all his attachment to the Constitution and the Union hung upon his condition, that every body else must dopt his peculiar views of the Constitu. ion, and abstain from the exercise of very power concerning which he enterained a doubt. When closely looked at, his was but nullification in another form, lowever, as the time he had to speak was o very limited, he should not pursue that subject further.?He then proceeded with the discussion of the bill. July 9th. Mr. Hunt had ten minutes of his hour on the McLeod case vet to run, and availed himself of it to continue his speech. He was followed by Mr. Brown for 45 minutes in censure of the course pursued by the Administration in this case, when he was stopped by the expiration of the morning hour. The loan Bill was then taken up, when on motion of Mr. Fillmore it was resolved that the debate in committee of the whole on this bill shall be closed Monday at 2 o'clock. The house then went into committee of the whole on the bill, when it was advocated by Messrs. Saltonstall, Cushingand Barnard, and opposed bv Messrs. Wise, Walerson, Eastman and McKeon. July 1()th. The McLeod case was discussed by Messrs. Brown and Linn during the morning hour; after which the loan bill was opposed in committee by Messrs.

The morning hour was consumed by Mr. Bow no on the McLcod j Case, after which, in committee, a bill j to provide for the payment of Navy j Pensions, and one to make appropriations for naval stores, were passed upon and reported to the House ; the remainder of the day was spent upon the pension bill, j July I A.

The fortification bill was next taken up, and the greater part of the day consumed ! in discussing an appropriation of8i84l for Fort Delaware, in Delaware river, provided the title of the U. States to the Pea Paten island, on which the fort stands can lie established. The appropriation was finally struck out of the hill, on the ground that the title to the ground is in The hill was not disnosed of. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. UNIVERSITY or NEW YORK CITY. NEW MEDICAL FACULTY.?The itlttllgUration of the newly constituted faculty of medicine, in the Universary of the city of New York, took place in the chapel of the Universaty on the 9th instant, in the presence of a large audience, and was throughout an imposing ceremony. James tallmadge, Esq, the President of the Council, delivered an address setting forth the past and present condition of the University, the orriginn! design of; organizing a medical department in the I institution, and the causes which had ! hitherto delayed this measure, fie refer, ed to the circumstances which rendered the present dirtinctively the time for this department to be instituted; and his aliussion tothereturn of Dr. Valentine JfoTT to his native country with improved health and enriched by foreign travel, was received with enthusiastic applause, fcfrmi. lar demonstrations on the part of thoaudi. enco were manifested during several por. tions of this eloquent address, especially when he announced that it was the hap. piness and privilege of the Council to place Dr. Mott at the head of the medical faculty now to be installed. Thr? Sorrpfarv nf thn /*r\nnoil hnvinrr J J, I called upon to rend the corporate act by | which the medical department of the Uni- I versity was organized, announced the names of Dr. Mott, Dr. Pattison, Dr. Revere, Dr. Payne, and Dr. Draper as elected to the several Professorships. Whereupon these gentlemen ro*e and remamed standing during the charge delivered to them hy Mr. Tallmadge as Pres. ident of the Council. And when he assured them of the cordial respect and cooperation of the other departments of the Univoraitv, the whole corps of Professors belonging to the other faculties rose from their seats in token of their acquiescence. The forms of inauguration having been concluded, Professor Granvill Sharp Pattison, to whom the chair of anatomy has been assigned, was called upon for an address, which, with that of President Tallmadge, will doubtless be published and will be read with interest, if we may judge by the impression whic thejdefivery produced. The building appropriated to the use of the 3/edical College are eligibly situated upon Broadway, contiguous to the University heretofore known as a Stuyvesant institute, and have been improved and adapted to the purpose under the direction of the Faculty. But while the regular lectures will be delivered in the College, all the publio exercises, commencement, introductories, &c. will take place in the Chapel of the University. The museum of Professor Mott, well known as abounding in extensive and valuable specimens, pathological and surgical is to be placed in the College. The extensive anatomical cabinet of professor Pattison, removed 1 from Jefferson Medical College in Phila-1 ' delphia, together with that of Professor 1 Rexere, late of the same school, and of * Professor Bedford, late of the Albany : Medical college, all known to bo rich in 1 I variety and extent, will be concentrated\ here, thus combining the phisical facilities ; and appliances for instruction to a degree ^ which cannot escape the notice of ?tu* dents in selecting their preceptors. The exercises were enlivened by the performances of a fine band of Music in the gallery, and the ceremonies of the eventing terminated with the benediction by the Rev. Dr. Phillips. We understand that the medical lectures in this College will commence in the last week of October, and tluU the moat economical arrangements have been made for the accommodation of students. t CHEBAW GAZETTEWEDNESDAY, July 21, 1841.

Jt is oneoftheevi* donees of the high character of his intel* | loot that he never descends from the dig! nity of his stat ion, either in grave debate or under the more exciting provocation of the most wanton personal attacks. He is however fallible like all men, and in our humble opinion, be has taken the wrongside in this debate.
