By 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, Homcepathic, and Mag nopathic, with a full glossary. Physicians and others are cautioned against purchasing the imitations of these machines, as they will be found of 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 manufacturers ot interior machines. (3f As I have become the Agent for the sale of the above Machines from a conviction of their usefulness in disease, and not from any desire to speculate on them; and am responsible to the 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. CHAKLES MONTAGUE. April 7, 1S49. 6m. Dr. H. H. SHERWOOD'S Compound! Chloride of Go hi, FOR SCROFULOUS DISEASES. These remarkable medical remedies of the late eminent and well known Dr. Sherwood of New Yoik, consisting of a preparation uf magnetized CHLORIDE OF GOLD, compounded with vari ous other materials with great care and by a la borious process, and of a BITUMINOUS PLAS- I LR, have been tested by an extensive practice of twenty-five 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 ExecuXrix, &f Ll.?;ifhiVlTiHrl rooipos ra int'jrualed III the same manner in all respects as heretofore, and are always accompanied by Dr. Sherwood s val uable medical treatise upon me treatment 01 Chronic Diseases, a work which was the result of many years of labor and research, and which shows in the clearest manner me principles up on which the operation of his remedies is found ed and their mode of cure.

The steamer Cambria arrived at Halifax on the 13th inst. The accounts from Germany represent affairs to be in a state of general commotion. Vast numbers of Russians are penetrating into Hun gary from different quarters, while the Magyars are retiring into their mountain fastnesses, where they will have a much better chance of a successful resistance. The city of Buda is said to have fallen into the hands of the Magyars, who are reported to have massacreed five or six hundred of the inhabitants. They are also said to be in possession of Trezume, the only seaport in Hungary, and a place of great strength. The new French Assembly convened at Paris on the 2Sth of May. The sitting was charac terized by intense excitement, arising from a remark of the President that the safety of the body was endangered by the intrigues of Ledru Rollin to excite the mob against them. This imputation was considered of so offensive a char acter that four Secretaries resigned their places, and a number of the Deputies were about leaving the Chamber, when the President retracted the iiWUt 'Oil 8. ir,?.'r' "en mo-pis enVcoT an VjfjJtualuu.' The number of ultra radical members elected is supposed to be from 210 to 240. The Duke D'Aumale, one of the sons of Louis Thilippe, was elected, but the decree of exile against his family disqualifies him. A bill for a general amnesty was lost by a majority of five votes. The French army had not entered Rome, and the troops manifest strong indications of sympa thy with the Romans. The French are also ex posed to the effects of the fatal malaria, and dis affection is rapidly evincing itself among the troops. The negotiations of the French ambas sador had utterly failed, and the Romans reso lutely refuse admittance to the French troops, either as friends or enemies. The Neapolitan troops had withdrawn from the Roman territory, and the Austrians were in active. In the British Parliament no further debate had taken place upon the affairs of Canada. There is no foundation for the belief that the State prisoners in Ireland under sentence of death will be pardoned. Intense misery still prevails in Ireland. In one district the people were in sach a horrible condition of starvation as to have eaten dead bodies that had been washed ashore. The Cholera had broken out in London, and in many other parts of the island. The war between Denmark and Prussia still continues, with little prospect of its speedy termination. The town of Frederika had been taken by the Prussian troops, and the Prussian fleet had made its appearance at sea. This war appears to be exciting but little interest. Liverpool, June 2. Cotton, fair Uplands, are quoted at4;d.. and New Orleans at 4d., the same as at last advices, with a large business. Carolina Rice had declined in price. Flour was dull, and had also experienced a decline. Indian Corn had advanced, and sold freely at 35s. 6d. to 37s. 6d. for white. The following Gentlemen have been admitted to Superior Court practice since our last notice: John Lyon Holmes, Wilmington. J. S. Amis, Granville, T. S. Haughton, Edenton, Col. J. G.

The Charleston Mercury, in re lation to the brimstone cure, says : For the present, we intend to publish everything, which seems to promise a par tial benefit to the public; and if we are accused in consequence, of favoring quack ery, we will defend ourselves with th following pertinent passage from Lacoru It is better to have recourse.to a quack. if he can cure onr disorder, although he cannot explain it than to a physician, if he can explain our disease, but cannot cure it. In a certain consultation of physicians. they all differed about the nature of an intermittent, and all of them were ready to define the disorder. The patient was a king. At length an empiric, who had been called in, thus interposed : 'Gentle men, all seem to differ about the nature of an intermittent, permit me to explain it: an intermittent, gentlemen, in a disor der which I can cure, and which vou can not.'" J Brimstone. A class of conceited, touchy people, who stop a newspaper on account of any petty paragraph that dis pleases them, are cleverly ridiculed by an exchange as follows. The paragraph should be kept before the people: A certain man hit his toe against a peb ble stone and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and under the influence of anger and active self-sufficiency, he kicked old mother earth right saucily. With im perturable gravity, he looked to see the vast globe itself dissolved, and come to nought. But the earth remained, and only his poor foot was injured in the encounter. This is the way of him. An article appears in the newspaper touching him in a weak place, and straightly he sends word to stop of his spleen shall cease to be. Poor tool, he has only hit his own toe against a worlit that does not perceptibly feel the shock. and injures, to no extent, any one but himself.''

June 2, 1949. Telegraphed for the Charlestou Courier. New Orleans, June 11. The steam ship Crescent City arrived yester day, in six days frem Chagres, with 17G passen gers, among them Gov. Mason. The Crescent City has nearly a million of dollars worth or gold dust on board. The steamship California had arrived at Pana ma, with advices from San Francisco to the 1st May. She brings the information that all the representations that have been made in reference to the abundance of gold are far short of the re ality. The California was to have left again for San Francisco on the 15th inst. The steamships Panama and Oregon, had left Panama for California, taking with them nearly all the passengers who were awaiting a convey ance to the gold region. James Sinclair, of New York, died on board of the Crescent City, on the passage, of diarrhce. He had accumulated a fortune in California. DESCRIPTION OF A FARCE Acted by all mankind. The world is a theatre: mankind are the comedians: chance composes the piece, and fortune distributes the parts tneolo gists and politicians govern the machines: and philosophers are the spectators. The rich take their places in the pit and upper box's : the powerful in the front and sides, and the galleries are for the poor. The women distribute fruit and refreshments, and the unfortunate snuff the candles. Folly composes the overture, and Time draws the curtain. The title of the piece is Mandus vulteecepi, ergo ilecipiatur lf the world will be deceived, let it be so.' The opening of the farce begins with fights and tears: the first act abounds with chemical projects of men : the frantic testify their applause with re-echoed bra voes, whilst the sagacious bring their catcalls into play to damn ihe performance. At going in, a sort of money is paid, called trouble, and in exchange a kind of ticket is given, subscribed uneasiness, in order to obtain a place. The variety of objects which appear, for a short time, divert the spectators; but the unravelling of the plot and intrigues, well or ill concerted, force the risible muscles of the philosophers. We see giants who presently become pig mies, and dwarfs, who imperceptibly at tain a monstrous height. There we see men exerting all their efforts in the pursuit of the most eligible plans, guided by pru dence, and armed with piecautiou,. who are, nevertheless, circumvented in all their pursuits, and frustrated in their endeavors: whilst here we observe a group of indo lent, careless fellows, who attain, the high est summit of mundane felicity. 44 Father, what does the printer live on?'' 44 W hy, child ?" 44 Because, you said you hadn't paid him for two years, and you still take the paper." 44 Wife, put that child tu bed ; he's an everlasting talker." C7We understand that the razor strop man, who is now in town, sharpened the water's edge with one of his strops the other day, and that Jones's soap washed a a man overboard.
