THE passage of ilie Teeth through the gums produces troublesome and dan gerous symptoms. It is known by moth ers that there is gre.it irritation in the mouth and gums during this process. The gums swell, the secretion of saliv.j is in creased, the child is seized with frequent and sudden fits of crying, watching, sterl ing in 1 1 e sleep, mid sp sms of peculiar part?, the child shrieks with extreme vio lence, and thrusts its finders into its mouth 1 f these precursory symptoms are not spee dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni versally supervene, and soon cause the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who have their little babes afflicted uith these distressing symptoms, would apply I)r William Evans's Celebrated Soothing Svmp, which has preserved hundreds of infants when thought past recovery, from being suddenly attacked with that fatal malady, convulsions. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recovery, from convulsions. As soon as llie Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so in nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no ap pearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediaiely gives ease by open ing the pores and healing the gums; theie by preventing Convulsions, Fevers. See. To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir The great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and painful dentition, must convince every feeling; parent how essential an early np plication of such an invaluable medicine is t IcIicVC i"f?.ol misery and torture. Mv infant, while teething, experienced such acute sufferings, that it was attacked with convulsions, and my wife and fr.i.5y sup posed that death would soon release the babe from anguish till we procured a bot tle of your Syrup; which as soon as ap I plied to the gums a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by con turning in its use. I am glad to inform you, the child has completely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are emana ting daily and the child enjoys perfect health. J giveyoti my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, and dl gladly give any information on this circumstance. When children begin to be in pain with Jl'eir teeth, shooting in their gums, put a I'tt'e of die Syrup in a lea-spoon, and wuh the finger let the child's gums be fubbed for two or three minutes, three jimes a day. h must not be put to the breast immediately, for the milk would take the syrup off loo soon. When the teeth are just coming through their gums, mothers should immediately apply the sy P; it will prevent the children having fver, and undergoing that painful opera uo f lancing the corns, which alvtavs J'pes the tooth mud) harder to rowie lro,,gh, anrJ sotnetiuiHs causes death.

Liberal Bequests. Mrs. Christian Ba ker, of Boston, has bequeathed to the Amciican Heard of Foreign Missions, and the American Education Society, an es tate equally, worth probably forty or fifty thousand dollars; to the American liihle Society two thousand dollars, and to the American Tract Society at Boston one thousand dollars. The will of Mr. Bart left. We learn that the late William Hartlelt, esq. of Newburyport, has bequeathed fifty thou sand dollars to the Theological Seminary at Andover, making more than two hun dred thousand dollars as the total amount of his donation to that institution. The es tate of Mr. Darllelt pioves to be about half a million of dollars in value, most of winch, except the bequest to Andover, is given lo the grand children of the deceased. Mr. Editor: In the month of June, 1S3S, 1 very valuable negro man belong ing to M;'j. William Eddings, of Abbeville District, run away from him without the slighest provocation, and went to Halifax county, N. C. from whence he came but a few years previous; afier an absence of two years and seven months, he has voluntari ly returned to his master. What will the Abolitionists say to ibis? Or when w they cease to denounce slavery as a moral evil? Here is a negro ot uncommon in telligence, who, in all probability, might have escaped forever; but no, lie prefers the servitude ot a humane master, to the liberty proffered by the hypocritical friends of universal lieetlum. Shortly after this negro absented him self from home, his owner offered a larg- reward for his apprehension, which was copied into a vile Aholition print, publish ed in the State of Ohio, with the following remarks addressed to the owner: "You have not got your negro, and 1 hope to God you never will." How will the learned philanthropist of this expression leel, when he is inlormr.d that tho negro has returned to his master, without cither compulsion or persuasion, ana tie says ne uui oniy willing, bui anxious io continue a slave all his life. Greenville S. C. Mountaineer. Texas, Mexico and Great Britain. Fhe London Morning Chronicle of a late date contains sone information which ha net vet anneared in this country, in relation to the treatr recently made between Mex ico and Great Britain, and the more recent acknowledgment by the latter power, of the independence ol the republic ol lexas. Lord Palmerfton is repoitcd to have said that the Texian Government agreed to take upon itself 1 ,000,000 of the Mexican debt. It is added, that a uepuiauun mat waited upon the Minister upon thesubjtel, expressed a wish that provision should be made for giving the bondholders the op tion cf rc ceiving part of the debt thus recog nized by Texas in Isnd, with r'ttv9 lo colonization. Lcrd Palrrerston, requesstd the deputation to put their vhi writitvgf. From the 21 me source we learn, that it is expressly stipulated in t!ie Mesicaa con verMon that 100,000,000 of sere of lb vacant lands in the departments ftf Clifor nia, Chihuahun, New Mt rico. .)nra and Texas, shall be specially bypheca ted in the payment of the principal and interests of the national consolidated Fumlj until the total extinction of the bonds; and, by the decree of the Mex'can Congress confirming the terms, it is declared, 25, 000,000 acres of government lands in the department having the nearest communU cation with the Atlantic, shall .-pecially be set apart for security to the bondholders, and for the purposes of colonization. On the same occasion, a communication was read fiom the London Financial A gency of Mexico, stating thai the plan proposed for Use consolidation of the over due coupons had been under the consider ation of Congress. The whole of the Cus tom Warrants sent out, equal to 1,400, 000 would be paid off by the end of the present year, leaving the 106th part of the Custom Revenues available for the pay ments of the dividends. The Mexican Converted debt is about 8,S0G.4l5, one half of which is an Active Five per cent Stock, making the dividend presently pay able equal to 15,000 per annum. Ph ila delph ia En q u irer. Quick way to get Rich. Miss In griam, of Pontiac, somelime since was perusing a Texas paper and bserving a mongthe persons that bore a prominent part in the affairs of that government, a man bearing her own name, and jocosely remarked to her companions, that she bad made an important discovery that she had found a namesake in Texas, and in tended to write to him and chim relation ship. This resolution, moie from curiosi ty and a desire of novelty than from any conviction that her hopes would be realiz ed, was carried into effect. She wrote him a respectful letter, giving him a histo ry of her family and parentage, and sug gested that as the name was not as common as most of the names of our country, the probability was strong that a rehtionship existed between them. She received in reply, a friendly and affectionate letter ac knowledging her as a cousin, and expres sing an carnet desire that the conespon dence might be continued. This was readily acceded to, and it was car.ied on agreeably and satisfactorily to both parties, until very recently, when she received intelligence of his death, and information that in his will he had bequeathed her the handsome sum twenty thousand dollars in gold and silver, leaving his personal property anil immense landed estate to his relatives in that country. A few days previous to the reception of this joyful communicaiion, she had connected her fortunes w ith those of a Methodist Clergy man, and should their deeds of charity comport with their means, the widow's heart will be filled with jo , and infiny an orphan live to implore blessing upon the heads of their benefactors, for their deeds of benevolence and generosity. War among fhe Women. The mar ket women in Philadelphia, on Monday, turned oul against one of their number, and pelted her from the market, with eggs nr:d other missiles.
