DR. SHERWOOD'S
Vibrating Magnetic Machines.
B3 recent improvements in these Machines,
their power is doubled in cases ot the same size,
and the prices reduced to $12 and $14 each; the
$12 sizes being greatly superior to the $12 sizes
of ether machines. They now run with more
power and smoothness, and are better adapted
for magnetizing patients than any other in use.
Each case is accompanied with a Manuel (11th
edition, p. 400, 32 mo.) in the English or French
language, according to order, which contains
clear and minute directions for the proper use
of the instrument in the various diseases to which
it is applicable, which are found to include many
of the most peculiar and obstinate that are known
to the medical profession. The Manuel also con
tains a synopsis of the different systems of medi
cal practice, Allopathic, Homcvpathic, and Mag
nopathic, with a full glossary.
Physicians and others are cautioned against
purchasing the imitations of these machines, as
they will be found cf comparatively little value.
No premium has ever been obtained over these
magnetic machines at the American or any other
Institute, as is represented by the .nanufacturers
of interior machines.
tt3" As I have become the Agent for the sale of the
above Machines from a conviction of their usefulness in
dUease. and not from any desire to speculate on them; and
am responsible to tli owner for them, they can only be
obtained by the payment of the cash on the delivery of the
Machine. I have deposited them with Mr Bayne at the
Carolinian Office, who will show them, or deliver them on
the payment of the cash price, and on no other terms.

Dr. H. il. SHERWOOD'S
Compound Chloride of Gold,
FOR SCROFULOUS DISEASE?.
These remarkable medical remedies of the late
eminent and well known Dr. Sherwood of New
Yoik, consisting of a preparation of magnetized
CHLORIDE OF GOLD, compounded with vari
ous other materials with great care and by a la
borious process, and of a BITUMINOUS PLAS
TER, have been tested by an extensive practice
of tw enty-rive years' continuance, and may now
justly be considered as more successful than any
other known remedy in the treatment of CON
SUMPTION in all its early stages, and of all
Tuberculous or Scrofulous Diseases. For this
class of complaints they are now extensively
adopted by physicians in their own practice in
various parts of the country. They are prepared
by us under the direction of the Executrix of
the estate of the late Dr. Sherwood, to whom, by
his will, his medical recipes are intrusted in the
same manner in all respects as heretofore, and
are always accompanied by Dr. Sherwood's val
uable medical treatise upon the treatment of
Chronic Diseases, a work which was the result
of many years of labor and research, and which
shows in'the clearest manner the principles up
on which the operation of his remedies is found
ed and their mode of cure. This work will en
able any person to detect the nature and extent
of scrofulous or tuberculous disease in himself or
others, by pressure on the ganglions of the spinal
nerves, on the spaces between the vertebra? along
each side of the spine.

FIRE IN ST. LOUIS!
A telegraphic despatch, received by the Na
tional Whig, dated " St." Louis, May IS, 5 p. ia.,"
states :
" We have to inform you of a terrible event.
Our city is almost in ruins. This morning a tire
broke out in the very heart of our city. Nearly
the whole of this portion has been burnt to the
ground. We enumerate five banking houses, ev
ery insurance office in the city, twenty-seven
steamers lying at the wharf, and the telegraph
office, in the devastation.
The blow is a heavy one to the industry, capi
tal, and commerce of our growing city."

THE MAKKETS.
Liverpool May G. Since the departure of
the Hibernia, the imports of Cotton.have amount
ed to 113,277 bales, of which 104,149 bales v ere
American. Notwithstanding these heavy im
ports, the prices of American, particularly of low
and middling qualities, are higher, as are also
Egyptians and Brazils. Fair Upland are quoted
at 4 and Fair Orleans 4.
In the Grain Market there is considerable
depression.
The trade of France is rapidly increasing. Tlie
imports during the month of March were more
than double in amount those of the same month
last year, and the increase in the exports is
equally apparent.
POLITICAL.
Official notice had been received at Tarisof the
intervention of Russia in the difficulties between
Austria and Hungary. Russia is understood to
have placed a large force at the disposal of Aus
tria, amounting, it is said, to one hundred and
fifty thousand m?n.
The Hungarians have every where been victor
ious over the Austrians, and have nearly annihi
lated their aimy. The greatest nlarm prevails
at Vienna. ,
The King of Prussia has definitively refused
to accept the Imperial Crown ofGermany, which
had occasioned a slight outbreak at Frankfort.
There is no prospect of peace betw een Den
mark and Prussia.
More troops have left Taulon for Rome ; and
it is reported that Marshal Oudinot had reached
Rome, and that the people had risen in favor of
the restoration of the Pope, and that the mem
bers of the Republican Government had fled.
. The Tuscan troops have entered Leghorn.
The Sicilians, beaten at all points, submitted
to Naples.
The war in India is considered as ended.
In the British Parliament tlie a Hairs of Canada
were incidentally introduced, but the Minister
was very guarded upon the subject.
The bre.ch between Louis Napoleon and
his cousin has widened into quite a serious
quarrel.
ROMANTIC EXPERIMENT.
Japan is a long narrow island off tlie coast of
China ; and the inh.ibitant have much the name
habits of life that characterize the Chinese.
They allow no foreigners to come among them
to 1 i v e.
A young man named Ronald McDonald, (a name
very familiar in this region, but his father is
said to have been in the employ of the Hudson
Hay Company in Oregon, some years since,) who
had sailed in the American whale ship Plymouth,
after cruising two years, in the fall of 1S47, re
quested his discharge, unless the Captain would
consent to K-ave him somewhere near the coast
of Japan, as he had formed a determination to
penetrate that country. After repeated persua
sions to the contrary, the Captain agreed to do
it, and gave him the best boat belonging to the
ship. 'She following extract from a journal of
o:-:e of the ship'j company will tell the balance
of the story, so far as anything is known of-young
McDonald's fate:
Japan Ska, Tee Shee Island,
June 1 S, 1848. J
At 4 o'clock this morning all hands were
cullctl, tlie reefs shook out of the topsails,
anil topgallant sails were set. Ve hail a
line breeze on our starboard brain, steer
ing for the Tee Shee island. It was a
beautiful morning, a light mist hung around
the island, but as we ncared the island we
could see plainly the green-covered hills.
Wc stood in until D a. in., when all hands
were called, and the main yard was hove
aback. We launched a boat, and put wa
ter and provisions of ditlVent kinds into
her. She was a centre-board boat, partly
decked over, and very strong for one of her
kind. One of our crew was to be her only
navigator.
After all his things were in the boat, he
was towed astern by a line; two men
staved to help him to trim her. After the
boat was trimmed they came on board.
He let go the line and was clear from us
forever! His little vessel dashed over the
waves 1'lke anariow. All hands had gath
ered aft to see the last of the bold adven
turer. He took off his hat and waved it,
but in silence. The same was returned
from the ship's company. Soon the order
was given to brace the main-yard, and the
gallant ship was going in an opposite di
rection. From our ship's mast he was
viewed with the naked eve as lonu as he
could be seen, then the spy-glass Was
passed from one to another, that they might
have a last look at the little vessel, lie
was watched from the mast-head until he
was gone from our sight forever.
Fvery man on board felt sad to se a
shipmate leave the ship under such cir
cumstances. He was a good sailor, well
educated, of firm mind, and well calculat
ed for the expedition upon which he had
embarked. His intentions were to slay
at this island and learn something of the
no
DANGER AT NEW ORLEANS.
From the accounts in the New Orleans papers,
the crevasse or break in the levee, a:oe the
city, is likely to do great damage. The water is
making its way into the city. The Delta says :
"At this time, the condition of the in
habitants residing on Hercules street and
the other back streets, is truly pitiable,
and we yesterday noticed the most extreme
cases of distress. Many of them are poor,
hard-working people, i.nd some have not
only lost their all, but are unable to re
move to a dry spot. On the upper galle
ries of some of the houses, women and
children were entreating for relief, who,
in many instances, were without the ne
cessary articles of food."
A large force was hard at work mending the
break, but the account says there was evident
despondency visible with even the most couragc-
A noble lord having given a grand gala,
his tailor made one among the company,
whom his lordship walked up to, and ac
costed in the following manner: ' My
dear sir, I recollect your face, but cannot
remember your name;" to which address
the tailor w hispered in answer, "1 wb(

He was a man of about five feet seven
inches, thick set. straight hair, and dark
complexion. It was his wish to be li ft
here; and he agreed for the same before we
left port a year before. He had a good
passage in the ship, which he forfeited for
his boat and his little cargo such as a
quadrant, "epitomy," two pistols, twu
small kegs of water, keg of meat, barrel ol
bread, anchor, 33 fathoms of tow-line, and
oars. His own chest was nearly full of
books of various kinds. No one can blame
Capt. Edwards for leaving the man in sucli

guished by a confidence and. forwardness,
of manner, not altogether becoming in one
so young, anxv. inai ueing welL introduced;
when in England, he gave a characteristic
proof of his coxcombical presumption, (io.
call it by, no harsher name) in a conversa
tion which he had with the celebrated.
Charles Fox to whom he observed, in re
lation to his fuuious India Bill which had
just then failed iu the House of Commons.
that "he wondered how a statesman of"
his experience and discernment should
have been led into he error of attempting
to pass so objeclional autl unpopular a
measure through Parliament." It is said
that Mr Fox, without directly replying ta
the flippant anil forward remark, merely
turned to a gentleman standing near him,
and observed in an audible whisper, that
much was said, both of Scotch and Irish
impudence but d n him if American
impudence did not surpass any thing he had
ever before heard of, or met with."
