Baltimore, January 10th, 1851. Wm. II. Lippitt, Esq., Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that your Specific is one of the best Medicines extant for Dysentery, Diarrhoea, 8,-c. You possibly may recollect my case ; if it has escaped your memory I will give yOu briefly the faots. T had tried everything that 1 had seen used, but with little success.

As my Brother was given up by two of the most eminent Phy sicians in this place, Drs. Richardson and Gregg, and when I consulted the latter as to the propriety of trying it on him so low, he saul I might to satisfy myself that 1 had left nothing untried, but he did not think that Medicine would be of any use to him. But thank God he was mistaken, as we saw the salutary effects in 24 hours, and in ten days he was able to be out of bed. I remain yours, very truly and gratefully, WM. BAILEY.

The' ministers now in town, constituting a major ity of the cabinent, met yesterday at the Foreign office, and held a long conference on the present anxious position of Eastern affairs. As the intel ligence which had called them together was not in itself of a perfectly distinct and decisive character, and as in a matter of such moment it will be neces sary to wait the arrival of the other ministers, all of w hofii ttre hastening to the metropolis, some days will probably elapse before any thin in the nature of a fresh decision can be expected. Ths intelli gence which was the immediate occasion of? the meeting was, that on the 26th ultimo a week later than the last reported dates the Grand Council, a body consisting of about 140 magnates of the Turk ish empire, had recommended the Sultan to make a declaration of war. The force of that recommend ation, and the probability of the Sultan's acting up on it, as well as all the particulars of the proceed ing ascribed to the Grand Council, mug remain matters of conjecture tirt tlie arrival of more exact information which, according to the same tele graphic despatch, to which we are indebted for all that is known on the subject may soon be expected by a courier, via Marseilles. The news, as far as it goe?, must be considered very nnfavoraWe to the hopes of those who have labored for peace, but, t tfr'e worst, it must still be some time befoTe those hopes earY be given; up, or any change of policy demanded on the part of our government. It does not act at alt without France in the matter, and no communication' hais yet been received from Paris. The declaration of war by the' Porte was a contingency contemplated in the in structions given to Lord Stratford, who has thereby the power, even if subsequent instructions did not give it, to send for the fleet. He will, doubtless. o whatever he thinks best for the defence of the Sal tan, and will be fully supprrrted in that policy by the government at home j though, even in the event of an actual declaration of war, it may still bo in our power tasaive the Porte from the consequences of that act without offensive operations. Lord Strat ford is understood, or rather supposed, 10 have dis approved the step taken by the Grand Council, and would probably do his best to delay further proceed- The intelligence from Olmutz is in all respects of less importance. Concessions and assurances have been ostensibly made by the Emperor at a time and in a form, when they could be worth very little, in the face of the violently aggressive policy too clear ly betrayed in Count Nessebrode's despatches. In these it has been scarcely disguised that Russia seeks to establish fresh rights in Turkey, and an influence never before possessed, so as to reduce the negotia tion on the Vienna note to a hollow pretence utterly unworthy of the great powers and great interests concerned in it. It is true that Russia still pretends to demand what nobody has ever wished to deny her, viz : the maintenance of treaties, and of the statue quo in religious matters. That she can have when ever she chooses to bo content with it, but nothing more. In the interest of peace every effort has been made to keep Russia to her word, and to secure her all that she is entitled to ; but all attempts at fur ther encroachmeut will be resisted, as they have been from the commencement of her present ag gressions. In dealing, however, with a power that evidently seeks to gain time, and that is avowedly availing itself of a protracted negotiation to secure a position in which negotiation may be dispensed with altogether, it is obvious that, while many rea sons might exist for friendly remonstrance at the first appearance or suspicion of such conduct, a time must come when the mask will be thrown off on one side and forbearance cease on the other. The full disclosure of the Russian policy cannot but give a new character to the resistance of the chief independent powers of Europe Such a pass must have been foreseen by the Emperor of Russ'm, who could hardly have supposed either that Europe would look on quietly at the sudden and unprovoked irruption of his hordes into the dominions of a peace- iui ana triendiy neighbor, or that it would conient itself with a barren protest and a fruitless negotia tion. But now that the Emperor stands arraigned at the court of common order, civilization and hon or, as a causeless disturber of the public peace, the discrepancy between his fair words and his violent acts cannot but inflict some misgivings into a con science not wholly deadened by power and ambition. The Emperor risks the peace of Europe, and does his best to light a flame which neither he nor his sons may live to see extinguished for what 1 Eith er to obtain what he has nofreven a color of right to ; or, if we are to allow him a certain sort of hon esty, to gratify his pride by rejecting some harmless modifications, necessary to allay the alarm of the Porte, and thereby to secure the Emperor's own pro fessed intentions. This he does on the petty plea that they are proposed by the Turkish government, and that therefore his honor is concerned not to ac cept ihem, though ever eo insignificant. For this the peace of Europe is to be je pardized, and a struggle commenced which must indeed be ruiheus to i urkey, but which will be so assuredly to other powers also, and not the least to that vast but poor and unmanageable dominion which threw down the gauntlet and defied the indignation of the civilized world. Treaties with South. American States. The National Intelligencer of Tuesday morning says : We mentioned not long ago that our energetie and able Representatives at Brazil and Buenos Ayres, Messrs. Schenck and Pendleton, had conjointly ne gotiated and concluded two treaties with the Argen tine State, which will open to our navigation and commerce the rich countries of the Rio de la Plata and its extensive trihutaries. Mr. Coxe, our late Secretary of Legation at Bra zil, has arrived in Washington, bringing with him, as wc learn, the treaties alluded io. One of them was signed on the 10th of July, at San Jose de Flores, (in Buenos Ayres,) with the Argentine Confederation, opening to ihe flags of all nations the free navigaiion of the Rio de la Plata and iU tributaries, the Uruguay, Parana, &c. A similar treaty was signed on the same day with the Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain and France. The second treaty was one of friendship and com merce, and navigation with the Confederation, and was signed on the 27th of July, at San Jose, in the State of Entre Rios. Sir Charles Hotham for England, the Chevalier St. George for France, and Messrs. Schenck and Pendleton for the United States, all acted unitedly and harmoniously in the negotiation of these trea ties. We had the advantage of being represent d by ,very able as well as firm men in the presence of our Minister at Urazil ana our tnarge ai uuenos iiyres; and to their energy we have no doubt that much is due in accomplishing these important treaties. Sir Charles Hotham and Mr. Schenck were the mediators who effected the adjustment which led to the raising of the siege of Montevideo. Lieut. 1 h. J. Page, commanding th exploring steamer Water-Witch, and Surgeon Carter, accom panied the Commissioners up the riTer to Entre Rios. - A New Hampshire Editor, while recently travel ing, had his waljet abstracted from his pocket by vn adroit pickpocket, while indulging in a short nap.

The sermori was preach ed by Right Rev. the bishop of Frederickton, from 2d Timothy, ch. 1, v. 5, 6 and 7 : " Wheretore 1 put' these in rememlrance, that thou stir up the gift df God, which is in thee, by the putting on of rriy hands;.' for God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." This was a most elaborate and learned discourse delivered with great plainness and earnestness of speech, and was listened to with the deepest atlnfiori' by the large congregation present.. It was a defence of the EffistdpSl doctrine of the apostolic right, pow er, and. authority of the bishops of that chuicb, a-mf a searching analysis of the duties of those called up on " to do he office and work of af bishop." The preacher's address to the candidates for consecration was very eloquent and affectionate. The sermon being concluded, the bishop elect, (t)a- vis,) of South Carolina, was presented to the presi ding bishop, by bishops Green and Freeman, and the bishop elect (Atkinson,) of- Md., by bishops Whit tingham ami Cobfjl Each of them promised conformity to the P.

On the Massachusetts records appears the follow ing order: Whereas, thorn is no pvdtpo rtvtnichrhnnt nT Law hiiherto established Or affixed to the evil Practice" of Sundry Persons by Exhorbitancy ot Tongue iir' Railing and Scolding It is therefore ordered that all such persons convic ted before the Court of Magistrates, that have prnpff cognizance of the case for Hailing and Scolding,- shtrlf be gagged or set in a Ducking Stool and drenched over Head and Ears three limes, in some convenient' place of fresh or salt water, as the Court of Magis trates may jude meet. In 1G44, the Court ordered, among other interesting matters, that every town should take care that " there be a pair of stocks, a cage and a couckinfr stool erec ted between this and the next Court." The con'ek ing stool," or " ducking stool," as it was oftener sty led, consisted of a convenient seat attached to the end of a beam, precisely as a bucket is hung from the end of a well sweep ; this was placed over a pond of any deep water, and the person to be punished hav ing been well secured in the seat, Vas let down, or " ducked" into the water at the pleasure of the offi cer. This was the most cooling mode of punishmenl then in use, and was therefore specially reserved for scolding women. There was also a provision for a whipping post in the vicinity of every justice of the . i i . . j. peace, presuming tne numner honored with that office' was not so great as in our day. Coffin, the historian of Newbury, finds a record of 1751, " for carving the head of the whipping-post, eighteen shillings," and in 17651, u iron Works for the town stocks, four nd sixpence." The whipping post and pillory in Boston were stationed in State St., in the square below the State House. We have heard that the last person set in the pillory in Slate street, in public, was a black woman convicted of stealing. Boston Transcript. A Word to the Ladies. We confess we felt a little no ; not a little, but very deeply mortified, crrr reading the following advertisement in a Virginia newspaper: " Scotch Snuff- a very large stock of above, put up expressly for North Carolina trade and for sale at very low rates." We felt mortified because the intimation is here' made, and, we fear, too truthfully, that the practice of begriming the soft, pouting, red lips of the ladies, which nature seems to have des'gned expTessly fof the purpose of kissing and emittins soothing arid titti' sical sounds, with nauseous tobacco dust, is peculiar ly prevalent in North Carolina. This is a subject of reproach to the lovely fair ones of our State a prac tice in itself indecent, and unhealthy, and one which they should be ashamed to indulge in. The Irish will hardly ever get clear of the opprobium cast upon them for their blunders the Dutch for bungling, or the ladies of North Carolina for the nasty practice of dipping snuff. But we hope the latter will make the effort, and in the course of years they may succeed Warrenton News. According to the message of Gov. Campbell, the whig governor of Tennessee, who goes out of office, the receipts into the treasury of that State for the two years terminating on the 1st of October, 1853, were $1,202,046 30, while the expenditure for the same pe riod amounted to 1,218,387 28. The total value of the taxable property of the State, as assessed by the revenue commissioners for 1852, is stated to be 1 86, 620,1 19, exhibiting an average value of land at $3 84 per acre, and of slaves at 9547 25. The public debt is$5,746,85G 66. The governor bears the following testimony in fa vor of free banking : " It appears to me that the principle upon wfiicn free banks or voluntary associations for bankink pur poses, under certain regulations, were authorized by the act of the last session of the legislature, is a sound one, and that its provisions should be further sanc tioned and continued. It gives to the note holder the class of persons most likely to suffer a perfect security against loss, while other creditors are on no worse footing than the creditors of other banks. So far the experiments under the late act have been suc cessful and useful to the people." Our Minister to China.
