SOOTHING SYKUP
I'or children teething,
PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
To Jlothen and Aiirses.
rfMIE passage of the Teeth through the
- gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. Il is known by moth
ers thai there is great irritation in the
nmulh and gtitns during this process. The
gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, the child is seized with frequent
aid sudden fits of crying, watching, sl-i r s
iiiii in the sleep, and spasms -of peculiar
p.irls.
the child shrieks with extreme vio
lence, aud thrusts its fingers into its month.
If these precursory symptoms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions ui:i
v ersall y supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
have their little babes afflicted uith these
digressing symptoms, would apply l)r
William Evans's Celebrated Soothing
Syrup, which has preserved hundreds ol
infants when thought past recovery, from
being suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy h is preserved
.Kindreds of Children, when thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that
no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
niie of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Snip should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; for if a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
die Syrup immediaiely givesease by open
the pores and healing the gums; there

THE BANKS.
The resumption. All eyes are now
directed to the I5'.h cf January, hs41, and
the British Bank of the United States in
Philadelphia; and it is remarkable to ob
serve with what entire unanimity the pub
lic mind looks to that institution as the sole
obstacle to resumption. Every article on
the subject refers to that bank, and the only
inquiry is, whether it can resume? All
the other solvent institutions are ready:

We learn that the Bank Committee
returned from New York yesterday, hav

successful and we may therefore re-affirm
our belief that the lonn talked of resumn.fcaused by the want of sufficient heat in his
tion will take place on the 15th. The New
York Timessavs:
"'Our banks have agreed to loan the
Philadelphia banks one million of dollars
on nine and eighteen months. A com-
mil tee of three from Philadelphia, in con-I
junction with a Boston committee, have
been here tor several days, and yesterday
morning completed the arrangements for
the loan. The Boston banks will increase
the loan to three millions and a half, which,
it is asserted, will be amply sufficient to
enable the Pensylvania institutions to fill
the requisition of the law in relation to the
resumption. The loan is made on post
notes bearing six percent, interest, ha
mounis, in fact, merely to an extension of
the debt due by the Philadelphia banks to
ours, and placing it on interest. We are
glad this affair is at last concluded, and that
another fair prospect exists, that before
many months all the sound banks through
out the Union will pay specie, aud the un
sound ones have been put into liquida

a convention, in Louisville, on the 2r

Important Arrest. For" some time
past, the loss of slaves in this city has been
increasing in fi t quency, and many valu
able ones have been conveyed away by
some unknown agency. Zell and Ridgdv,
most active and vigilant officers, becoming
cognizant of this, determined to ascertain
the mode of escape, and terminate the
evil. They suspected it was effected
through a system of abJuction, earned on
by the agency of free blacks, and they
kept a .sharp look out at the railroad de
pots. On the morning of Sunday, 29ih of
Nov. Mr. Zell'was at the depot in Pratt
street, when a free negro named John Rob
inson, procured a ticket for Philadelphia.
Mr. Z. discovered something suspicious in
the fellow's manner, and resolved to keep
an eye on him. He got into the car appro
priated to the accommodation of negroes,
just when it was about to start, and Zell
took a place in front with the brakesman.

A Mrs. C, residing in ihe upper part of

chased a fine fat turkey, at Centre market,
and while-dressing il for dinner, according
to the usual custom, divided the gizzud
preparatory to cooking it. The edge of
the knife w s resisted by some hard sub
stance, which the good lady carefully dug
out; and having a natural curiosity to as
certain what it could be, found, on exam
ination, tliat it consisted ol several pieces
of virgin gold, weighing in all nearly a

The news respecting the defeat of the
Federalists in Northern Mexico i confirm
ed. Many of the American volunteers had
come in, having escaped from the pursuit
of the Centralism. Onedetachment of them
rctreitcd from VicHnn to the eastern ide
of the Rio Giandc, a distance of three hun
dred miles, pursued the whole waj- by the
Centralists, and travelling on one occasion
almost ninety miles in 24 hours. Ac'O'ints
had reached Houston, stating the arrival
of the detachment under Colonel Joutdan
.-t Loredo. The attempt of Lopez, a Co
lonel of the Federalist army, to betray the
Americans i-ntothe hands of the Centralists
is cnfirmed. The circumstances as related
do not differ from the accounts previously
published.
The treachery of Mexicans on the late
occasion may prove a U5 ful lesson to the
IVxians. The perfidy of the race has bef n
shown in more than one instance towards
the Americans. Indeed they betr .y each
other wh never a strong temp ation offers,
and il is not to be supposed that they
would suffer many s ruphs of conscience
in hi tracing thns' whom they have ever
b'-en taught lo regard as heretics and ad
versaries. The emigration to Texas seems to be
rather on the increase than otherwise.
During the last twelve months it is estima
ted that ten thousand slaves were introdu

the most encouraging kind; and eveiy
