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.

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.

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." JLater From Europe- Telegraphed for the Charleston Mercury. Baltimore, May 1C.

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( your breeches' his lordship taking him by the hand, said aloud, 4 Major Bridges I am glad to see you." April 14, f10. !- An Irtshman: went the other day into a Cooper's shop, and bejrged rhenaster to jSlESKYLEVch'n. 1 give him an empty barrel of flour to make 529-tf v ; hts hog a henkoop ' ' - Japanese language, and from there down to Jeildo, the principal city ol Nip hon; and if the English or Americans ever open trade with the Japanese, he will find employment as an interpreter. He had other intentions, which 1 never heard him mention only in a secret manner. The last we saw of the little vessel she was standing in for a small bay on the north side tif the island. 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 a manner, for he advised him, until his boat was launched over the side, not to go, on such a hazardous voyage, but no, his., mind was not to be changed. E, Y. F. Every one who reads the account of Mc Donald's adventure, will no doubt be anxious to learn the fate that attends .him. The letter to his father closes, with an em phatic . We can furnish but;a single item of intelligence to fjl up tha.t.blank. Some days after his embarkation, .while the whale ship Uncas'' u as. cruising in that region, she picked up. the rudder of this., tiny craft, which we vnili venture, to name the "Young Plymouth." Whether she reached tlie shore, or w as swamped in ,thc surf, remains a profound mystery. It is related of the late Gove incur Mor ris, that in his earlier youth,.he was distin 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."
