Hydrophobia,—The following appears
in a Inte number of tlje Livor|>ool Mercury,
as a preveutivo of the drcadl'ul ilisjcase Hy
drophobia ;
“ We arc indebted to M. Cesser, aT rcnch
physician, for the following mtQirolc dis
covery, as a preventive to hydrophobia:
Take two table spoonfula of fr»«h chloride
«f lime, in powder; mix it with hail’a pint
of water, and with this wash keep the wound
constantly bathed, and fre)uently renewed.
The chloride gas poff;es»es the power o|
dficompotiing this tremendous potson, and
renders miW and harjule^s tliat vetiorn a-
gainst whose resistlew attack the artillery
of medical j^cience has been so long directed
in %-ain. It is necessary to add, that this
wash should be applie«l as soon as possible
arter the inrtictic*n of the bite. Another
plan, winch has been extensively tried at
Fn'slau and Zurch, arid many other parts
(if the continent, consists not merely in cut
ting out the bitten part, (mere iiici8ion has
been found too often unavailing,) but in
combining with the incision of the effectual
means for keeping open the wound, and
maintaining it iu a state of suppuration du
ring a period of at least six weeks. Other
surative tnetins, as the exhibition of mer
cury, balla-donna, or lyltoa, were also ein-
pl«iyed in these cases; but upon these, it is
thought, little reliance can be placed. 'J'he
following are the results of the treatment:
From 1810 to 1S24, the number of persons
admitted into the Breslau hospital was 184,
of whom two only died of hydrophobia: from
17S3 to 1824 inclusive there were admitted
into the haspital at Zurich 223 persons
bitten by ditlerent animals, (182 by dogs,)
of whom only four died, two on the second
day of admission, and in whom the disease
had proljably become develo|)ed before tiiey
were submitted to the treatment; and the
other two were bitten in j \rt3 (inside of the
xheek and eyelid) where the prescribed
means could not b*j employed with the re
quisite exactness.'’
The CiirRCH.«.v.\, an Episcopal paper,
printed at New-York, has tlie following para
graph in relation to tlie recent election of
jhe Rev. Lkvi S. Ives of that City, to the
Bishopric of the Diocese of \. Carolina.
“ W’e congratulate our sister diocese up
on the judicious choice which she has made
for the hi;rhest and most responsible office
in her gift; and we know of no one, who
will more deeply feel, and more solemnly
weigh and appreciate the high responsibili
ty attached to that office, than the individ
ual upon whom the wisdom of North-Caro-
lina has conferred this distinguished honor.
At the same time, we feel bound to state
our conviction, that there is not, pcrhajw, a
clergyman within the circle of our Church,
who would be callcd upon, at this imme
diate crisis, to make greater sacritkes of a
private character, by the 'acceptance of
this important appointment, than the highly
esteemed and deservedly admired Rcctor
of St. Luke’s Parish, in this city.”
We are highly gratified at the handsome
manner with which the yankee City of Bar
ton has extended a helping hand to our bro
thers of Fayetteville. After promptly ma
king a large remittance in money, clothing,
and other necessaries, the Fire departmenu
of B/ston, Ciiarlestown, Roxbury, and Cam-
Lriige, set on foot a subscription for tlie
purpijae of obtaining an Engine with hose,
carriages and other apparatus, and forward-
mg the jame to Fayetteville. The Engine
is to be called the Yarikie, and the motto is
“ U'e are one," in the centre of a Round
Kobin, bearing the names of Fayetteville,
Boston, Charlestown, Roxbury and Carn-
bridge. It is suggested, moreovor, to take
up contributions in their churches for the
purpose of rebuilding the difierent places of
public worship at Fayetteville, witiunit dis
tinction of scct. This is the way to nullify
all sectional doctrines, and the cheering lib
erality of our Northern brothers must liave
this tendency.—yewbern Sptctator.
Royal EsptwKs.—A foreign journal
gives the following statement of the ex()en.
ses paid by the nine principal nations of
Europe to support their sovereigns respec
tively, including the families of each. The
gross amrrtjiit of their expenses are stated at
1 ■;9,670,000 francs, which, at .5 francs to
the dollar, make 8.'f7,934,000, and divided
as follows :—The Emperor of Russia, *9,-
000,000; King of France, ?sH,500,0UU;
Ktnfieror of Austria, f!7,500,000; King of
England, «r,,000,000 ; ISpain, 7-30,000 ;
I'russia,82,l*7,.'>0l; Netherlands,Si,liOO,-
000; Naples,Si,O.'iO,000; Portugal,%646,-
500. These cxpensifs, when divided be
tween the subjects of each monarch resp«jc-
tively, amount to the following ratio: Rus
sia, lb cents; France, 3S cents; Austria,
‘J7 cents; Spain, 24 cents; England, 24
cents; Prussia, 20 cents; Netherlands, 24
rints; Naples, 16cents; Portugal, 14cents.
As a contrast to the above, we place a-
Inng side the salarj- of the President of the
United States, 5^25,000, which, divided be
tween the people, according to the popula-
tioh of 1%30, would am/unt to the ratio of
about one-fifth of a ceot.
The Courtland Herald informs us that

CELKBKATION JN CHARfKSTON.
Tilt' c«'U brutioii of the Fourth in t'liarlueton, by
the “ I’niou and State Kight* Parly,” waa very
■|.Kniid and .ppropriate. The imrticularg arc

the I'liion of the Stalet!. We insert a jHirt of the
priK-eidinjfs from the Courier.
t)n the arrival of the procession at tlio first
Frcsbyterian t’hureh, the exereisea were opened
by an appropriate prayer, when the following Ode
was song by a choir of four voiced, aocoiiipaiiitd
by tlio fall-toned orjran of tlie Church:
UKIGINAL OUK,
Sung by a select Choir—in four parts.
AIR—The Star-tpanpUd Banner.
I.
We will gather in pride to tlie glorious rite.
In tiie faith of the free from our sires that de
scended ;
-Vnd who shall resist us, when thus wc unite,
For the Uuion they fought tor and nobly dctciided.
'I'o hallow the hour,
When frord from the pow’r
Of Dritdin, our cairlc firnt taught her to cow'r—
We will gather in triumph, in gladness and mirth.
And bles:«our free nation—frce’st nation of earth.
n.
W ith a peo[)le unmatch'd—with a freedom that now.
Even now, wliilc ail Euro|ie is wrapt iu tomino-
tion,
And the biavc bleed or conquer, refusing to bow,
iStiUtes forth, like a bcacon across the broad ocean.
And with rapture they turn,
Where our altars yet burn,
Thi-ir chainii are all broken, their tyrants they
spurn.
And at the pure altar, and round the glorious hearth.
They bless our free nation—trev’st nation of earth.
III.
Where else is the temple of freedom—oh wliere—
If not in tlie broad land our sires have given;
For destiny’s self brought our forciatliers here.
And here, was the chain of the tyrant tirst riven.
And to conquer or die.
First appealing on high.
They dared iu his might the fell monster defy ;
While Europe, astonished, looked on at its birth.
And bless'd our fre,e nation—free’iit nation of earth.
. IV.
Forget not that time of commotion and toil.
And Uie glory that sprung from it, chcrished for
ever.
Shall guard our freedom and hallow our soil,
And the foot of Uie tyrant shall trample them
never.
For what folly would dare,
>\'hen our flag is u> air.
And imbued with one spirit, join in one prayer,
For the altar that iie&rs it—lor our home—tor our
hearth—
God bless our free nation—frec’st nation of earth.
tJen. Daniel Elliott IIi uer then rose,
and read Washincton’s Farewell Address
to the People of the United States, with
much force—the audience applauding with
enthusiasm th(jse passages which so forci
bly rebuke the Disunion doctrines, now bold
ly put forth in our beloved State. It has
been remarked to us by a highly talented
and distinguished stranger, that he couUl
desire no higher evidence of the intelligence
and taste of any assembly, than was shewn
on that occasion, by selecting the most beau
tiful and pointed passages tur sunultaneous
applauw.
Alter the Farewell Address, the follow,
ing Ode, also written for'the occasion, and
at the request of the Committee of Arrange
ments, was sung most beautifully by two
voices. The language of the Ode itself is
to our taste perfect, everj' line conveys an
idea appropriate and comprehensive, and
expressed in chaste and eimobling terms.
The chorus’ of both Odes were joined in
by the audience, and on repeating the four
last lines of the last verse of the second
Ode, the whole audience rose simultaneous
ly, and thus manifested the strong feelings
which pervaded every bosom.

After the conclusion of the second Ode,
the Orator of the day, the lion. William
Drayton,occupied the succeeding twohours
in pronouncing his oration; a production,
of which all united in testifying the warm
est admiration. It was rv^lcU: with senti
ments of ardent d«;votion to the Union, and
expressed in the elegant diction so charac-
teri.'stic of the author’s mind.
The dinner party, was we doubt not, the
largest ever asseinbled on anv o’ca-non in
this city, amounting to ufiward.s oi' J'ourtccii
huTuIred pcrgonn. Th'; very extensive
building erectod spjcially hr the purpose,
on the extensive lot at the corner of Meeting
and George-sts. covering a ajmcc of 45 feet
in width, by luO feet in length, was tbund
inudtx{uato to accoinniodatc nil who had
assQinbled, and from -00 to 3tK) persons
weix; obliged alternately to stand up and
e.vchaiige places with those who were seat
ed. The entertainment was abundant, and
for so numerous a company, was served up
in a very sujterior style. The wines were
excellent, and the whole comirany enjoyeil
“the feast of reason ami the How of soul,”
with more than usual delight.
-\bout 10 o’clock the party retired, high
ly plea.sed with the inaniier in which tliev
had s|>eiit the day.
The followinir letter from PrcMidcnt Jackson
wa!( read at tlie Dinner, which was in reply to a
Ifttrr from the Committee of Arrangement, in
viting him to parlicipnil' in the Celebration :
Wanhinirtvn City,Junt 14A, lH31.
Genti.kmen—It would atibrd me much pleasure,
could I at tile sumo time accept your invitation
the jth inst. and that witli which 1 was before hon
ored by tlie munifipal authorities of Charleston.
A neeetsary attention to the duties of uiy office,
must deprive me of the gratification I should have
had in paying, under »uch circumstances, a visit
to the f>tate ot which I ltd pride in '.oiluig myself
a citin'n by birth.
Could 1 accept your invitation, it would be with
the hope that all parties—all the men of talent, vx-
alted piitriotisin, and private worth, who jiave been
divided in the manner you describe, might be
tbund united bi‘lbre tlic altar of tiu ir country, on
the day r>t.t ajuiri Ibr tlie soluiim celebration of its
indoiHmdence—indepeiid.^ncc which cannot c.\i»t
without Union, and with it is eternal.
Every enlightened cilizi'ii must know, that a
separation, could it be etrected, would begin w ith
civil discord, and end in colonial dependence on a
foreign powor, and obliteration from tlie list of na
tions. But lie sliould also that high and saered
duties which must and will, at all hazardk, be per-
tbrmed, present an insurmountable barrier to the
success ot' any plan of disorgauiiation, by what
ever patriotic name it may be decorated, or » hat-
ever high feelings may be arrayi d Ibr its supjiort.
The tbrre of thi se evident truths, tlie etTict they
must ultimately have upon the uiinds ol'those who
seen) tbr a uioun.nt to have disregarded them,
make me cherish the belief 1 have tipres>ed, that
could I have been present at your celebration, f
bhould have found all (orfics concurring to pro- *
mote the object of your aa«ooiation. V ou have ^
distinctly ripressed tliat ol>jtel—*‘lo revive in its ^
full force the tienign spirit o;' I-'uion, and to renew
the mutual contidtnce in each other's good will
and patriotism." Such endeavors, calmly and
firmly persevered in cmnot fail of 3ucct?*s. Such
sentiments are appropriate to tlie celebration of
that high festival, which coinmeinorates the simul
taneous declaratiou of L’niun and independence—
and whin on the return of that day, wc annually
renew the pK'djc that our heroic lathers made, of
life, of fortune, and of sacrt^l honor, lei u» never
forget that it was given to sustain us a» a Uuitrd,
not less than an Indtptndenl people.
Knowing as 1 do, the private worth and public
virtu*-* of disUnguished citizen.s to whom di-clara-
tiuns incuiisistent with an attachment to the I'uion
have been ajtcribed, 1 cannot but liope, that if ac-
curLtely reported, they were the tft'ect of momen
tary excitement, not delitierate design; and that
such men can never have formed the project of
pursuing a course of redress through any other
than constitutional mean^ ; but if 1 am iiiistak'-n
in this charitable hope, then in the lanjfuage of tue
father of our country, I vnould conjure them to e»-
liinate properly “ tfie immense value of your na
tional Union toyour collective aod individual happi
ness;” to cherish “a cordial, habitual, At immoveable
attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to tliink
and speak of it a.' of the palladium of your politi
cal salety and prospt rity, watching for its presrr-
vati.iu with jealous anxiety; discouiitenanriiig
whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can,
in any event, be akindom d; and indignantly frown
ing upon tlie first dawning of every attempt to a-
lienate any portion of our country from the rest,
or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link to
gether the various parts.”
)'our patriotic endeavors, Gentlemen, to lessen
the violence of parly dissentiou, cannot be for
warded iDorc cfTectually than by inculcating a re
liance on the justice of our N'stiuual Councils,
and pointing to the fast approaching extinction of
the public debt, as an event which must neccHsari-
ly produce modifications in tlie Revenue System,
by which all interests, under a spirit of mutual
accommodation and conccasion,' will be probably
protected.
The grave subjects introduced in your letter of
mvitalion, have drawn from me the frank exjKMi-
tion of opinions, which I havencitlier interest nor
inclination to conceal.
Grateful for the kindnesii you have personally
expressed, 1 renew my expression of regret that
1* is not in my i>ower to accept your invitation;
and have the honor to be, with great respect.
Your obedient and humble servant,
(Signed) ANUUEW JACKSON.
LATI-Xr FROM EUUOl’f:.
From the New- York Jnurnal of Commcrte, July 5.

London, May 30.— K multitude of con
tradictory accounts have lieen received to
day, through the German and French pa-
jiers, relative to the stale of alfairs in Po
land. According to the Berlin version of
them, every thing held «xit the prospect that
success was at last about to attend the arms
of the Russians, and the Lithuanian insur
gents, prr^sed by the Russians, h;id ap
proached the Prussian frontiers, which they
jirobably intended to (»ass, in consequence
of which the Prussian landwher (local mi
litia,) had been suddenly callcd out to march
towards the frontiers.
The dates from Warsaw, through Prussia,
arc ot the l^th, by which it is evident that
no engugeiiient had yet taken place between
the main coqw of the Russians and Poles.
If a regular buttle is ofiijred and accepted,
wc may ex{H*ct to hear of something decis
ive to-morrow or next day. It is hardly to
be supposed that the Polish army, which is
at lea.-it efjtwl in numl>ers to the Ru.'sian,
an 1 in every other respect superior, will
sufli:r the enemy to get the bettt r of them.
I’rom Paris it i.s stated that oilers of me-
diation on the part of England and France
Imving b;cuuiad»; to tUv Emperor Nich^laf;
for the pacilication of Poland, the Autocrat
has declared, in unswor, that he will make
no concessions to “ rebellious subjectsand
that, had he been disjiosed to make any, he
would not have waited Ibr advice to that el-
fect from tlie West.
Brussels pajKTsofthe 27th instant inform
us that the feeling in fiivor of Prince Leo

ty-two, ninety-six ineiubera had given their
opinion in fa\ or of the Prince of Saxe Co

only two voted against him.
In a few days we may expcct to hear that
the affairs of Belgium have Ixmmi finally atl-

The first number of the .Monthly Ameri

edited by O. W. Feather.^tonhaugh, has
been handed to us. Tin* conductor is a
gentleman, who, it is uiHlcrstood, has given
much attention to Natural History, and is
ad»aiitageoualy known by his l^xtures on
(ieologv, so numerously attendcxl and fa
vourably rt'ceived a few months since. We
congratulate the lovers afid cultivators of
.science on the commencement ol* a Journal
devoted exclusively to Natural History, and
more particularly to tliat ini(>ortajit branch
of It, ljt*ology, and heartily wish for it a
liberal patronage. The contents are inltr-
cstmg; among these w ill be found an ar
ticle iHi tlie specification of “ a new genus
of fo.i»il animal," in which department the
c:oiiiparatively sinull rei>earch that has hith
erto bc*en devoted in our va.it territory,
ijives promise of much interest to future
oliserver*. “ The Dtary of a SaliiraliH"
is an>tli**r article which caiuiot lad to bf
generally pleasing. *
Thtarticle on the “ hifiucncc of climate
on the fructification of Planti^," is re|»lete
with originality and gooil sense,—the au
thor has given anewclaviificatioii of known
facts, and his conclusions are evident and
highly instructive,—inten-sting to scientific
inquirers in vegetable physiology, and coin
ing home to the business and botoni of eve
ry agriculturalist and of every man in the
comnninity. This article v»ell deserves
re-publication in scientific and other jour
nals in town and countr}'.
Among the great advance.^ of the last
age m general science, the origin of the
science of Geology is among the iiKWt im
portant ; but a few years since the confor
mation of the crust of our planet, and the
agency relatively to be attributed to astron
omical causes,—to the grand laws of plane
tary attraction,—to gravitaton merely ter-
restrial,—to volcanoes,—to the subsideiKe
uiid subterranean impulses of the waters of
the ocean,—to the waste and depmit of riv
ers and mountain torn*nts,—and to atmos
pheric disintegration as coiuiected with the
present observeil appearances of nature,
has indicated itself as a subject of most pro
found inter*?st to Philopiophers and Natural-
it*U«. There is no subject in which it is
more especially nrcessary, that wr decide
with deliberation;—the ternw of this great
problem,  leology, “ have not yet be*>ii
thoroughly consiilered—great diversity
of opinion, and much premature self-confi
dence have been nianifested by naturalists.
P'xtensive acquaintance with the aston
ishing facts which it h the proviniy^ of such
a Journal to assist in exhibiting, will impress
the mind with the mostexalteij and delight
ful consciousness of design, exerted throiigh
continuous imtmiasurable eras of duration,
as they are calculated to inspire us with
renewed reverence for the l»cnevolent Au
thor of Nature, and render u.i cautious of
involving in selfcreatcd hypothesis, the
grandeur of truth.
A most destructive fire broke out on
Monday evening the 4th instant, in .\cw-
York. It conimcne^d in a building in the
rear of No. 60 and OS Charlton street, and
de.stroyed nearly the whole block of houses
bounded by Charlton, Vandani, Varick and
Hudson streets. The loss is estimated at
more than one hundred thouwnd dollars,
and nearly a hundred families are said to
fx! burnt out. The New York papers im
pute the disaster to squibs and crackers
fired during the day and rvenint,'. Several

during the day and evening, which are also
attributed to fire works, thrown up by boys.
Tlie Rochester (N. Y.) Daily Advertiser
says, the locusts, which have been stran

Clear the way.—On otto of t!ie hot days
last wcH'k, a yankee, ap|Kircntl\ jui,t caught,
and not perfectly lamed, came into tho
Court House pulling and blowing with force
and speed suHicient to warrant the l»e|ief

Fitch the Constable live?—I want to catch
that are feller whats stole my bundle, tho
little hugger. By gjiuly, Fll learn him to
steal three yards sattmctt and my all-wool
shirt and two razors. After obtaining a
warrant, he started m pursuit of a Consta
ble (having ascertained from the Judge that
he did not act in that capacity) and the la-st
