The Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot thus speaks of a sound Pennsylvania Statesman. In the House yesterday, a hcep of speeches were delivered to empty bench es," on the three million bill. I took no note of any of them except that of Mr. Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania. He is a thorough going practical man, and when he has anything to say, he says it right straight out, and gives the facts and figures to bear out his declaration. The points I noted down related to the contrast which he drew between practical Locofoco and practical Whig doctrine, as illustrated by facts. The annual expenditure of Mr. Adams's Administration were $13,000,000, in the four years Mr. A. paid $15,000,000 of the Public debt. This was the practical work of a Whig Administration! Look on the picture and now on this. The annual expenditure of Mr. Van Ikren's Administration were $28,000, O00! And instead of paying off any Public Debt, his expenditures in four years exceeded the whole income of the Government, $31,000,000! Here was 'democratic' purity and econ omy for you. The tariff of 1842, he stated, paid $34,000,000 of the then Public Debt, and left a surplus in the Treasury of $6,000, 000. This was a Whig measure. He asked to have a tree judged by its fruits! And what had the 'democrat' tree, now in power produced? It had produced the tariff of 184G. And what did this Tariff do! it reduced the duty one half, from the tariff of 1842, on what! On brandy and other distilled spirits? The duty on these luxuries under the Tariff of 1842, was $2,043,000! By the reduc tion, the revenue is reduced $952,000. And how does Mr. Polk propose to make up the deficiency? Why, Mr. Stew art answered, he has this day sent a mes sage to Congress asking for a tax to be laid on tea and coffee! Why did he not recommend the duty to be doubled on brandy and distilled spirits? These points Mr. Stewart entered with great zeal and ability, much to the unea siness of Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, who had a good many questions to ask him. -ADDITIONAL REVENUE BILL. A bill was yesterday reported, in the House of Representatives, from the Com mittee of Ways and Means, to increase the Revenue, and, after receiving the usu al readinc for form, was referred to a Committee of the Whole, and made the special order for Monday next. This bill, which, if it pass as reported, is to take effect on the day it passes, pro poses to increase the revenue, by laying the follow iug additional duties on im ports: On Tea and Coffee, which arc now free, a duty of twenty per cent. An additional duty of ten per cent, on loaf and other refined sugar; coal; bar iron made by rolling; pig iron; round iron, as brazier's rods, 3-lGths to 10-lCths of sq inch diameter, inclusive; nail and spike rods, slit, rolled or hammered; sheet iron, (except taggers;) hoop iron; band or scroll iron; casement rods, slit, rolled or hammered; wood screws, (ol iron;) spikes, cut or wrought; and white and red lead. An additional duty of five percent, on all manufactures of cotton, if dyed, col ored, printed, or stained, exceeding in value thirty cents the square yard; and on manufactures of cotton not dyed, colored, printed, or stained, exceeding in value twenty cents the square yard. The above duties to cease two years after the ratification of a treaty with Mex ico, but to be collected on all goods im ported prior to the expiration of said two vears. The bill further proposes that all lands oelonging to the United States, which liave been in market and subject to entry not less than ten years nor over fifteen, may be cr.tered at one dollar per acre; in market fifteen years and not over twenty- five, years, seventy-hre cents; over twen- tv-five years, xt fifty cents; to take efTcct 3Iay 1,1617, atul continue during the war. anu six tnonuis inercaucr. The iate of this bill, in its present form, appears to us to be exceedingly doubtful. Nat. Int. Feb. IS. The packet fOiip Bavaria, from Havre, bruu-!t; over & lit ,'.( in cpet-ie. MTTT " 1 I 1 OPENING OF THE PUBLIC WORKS. The past winter has been exceedingly propitious to an early opening of the Main Line of our State works. , It is very de- t i t 1 A J. L. sirabie mat it should be opencu ai me earliest practicable moment, and unless there should be a sudden and more than j ordinary change in the weather, it is not at all improbable that navigation will be resumed in three weeks or less from tins date. So far as we know the Line is in perfect order, and the weather is the only j obstacle in the way. It is a singular tact, that, with a few brief interruptions, busi ness might have been continued through the whole winter. The Transporters M have been making very large prepara tions, and are prepared at any moment to resume business. Produce begins to ar rive freely, aud goes into store against navigation. We'do not know that the new board of Commissioners contemplate any change in the rates of tolls. We are thoroughly convinced of one thing the public ex pect t'rem to make some reductions," such as will increase the trade and the revenue to the State. On Wheat, Corn, Malt, &c, the present prices are an absolute prohibition. Wc shall have more to say about this at nnother time. We express the general desire of our Merchants, Produce dealers, Manufactu rers, and business men generally, when we respectfully urge on the Board the propriety and policy of opening the Main Line at the earliest possible moment. A vast amount of Produce is ready to go forward, and the State needs every dollar she can get from tolls to pay the August Interest on her Debt. (Pittsburg Gaz. The Loudon correspondent f the Bos ton Adas, notices an article in the Specta tor, on "the coming war in Europe," which has attracted considerable attention in England. The writer of it commen- O m ces by saying that "the year opens with general presentiments of war in Europe, and we cannot deny that the balance of probabilities is against its continuing much longer. Some of our readers may have heard that England's patient obstinacy in maintaining peace has been calculated, by men deeply versed in the science and practical application of numbers, to last only till the year 1847! Certainly the actual posture and tendency of affairs are not pacific." After speaking of the bles sings of peace and the horrors of war, the writer says, "the question remains, at what point will war break out, when it does come? This question involves not only the difference between what would be a gratuitous and unmitigated calamity, and what might be a rough road to better things." It is found that Russia is the point where war will break out. "Rus sia, the empire which subsists on the most rude and naked basis of main force, is the grand depository of warlike menaces; and the advance of her encroachment has now reached such a point that the next step seems certain to involve Europe in a war of resistance. "Every step has been successful. Province after province has had the Russian mark placed upon it, and has been seized with an advance as steady and as undisputed as that of the back woodsman with his axe in the forest." These provinces are named, and a re markable correspondence of the year 1815, is alluded to, in which LordCastle reagh remonstrated vigorously, but unsuc cessfully, with the Emperor Alexander against his aggression of Poland! In 1846, we see the annihilation of Cracow and the absorption of Warsaw! A strong impression prevails in London, that Rus sia is about to pounce upon Austria. Austria is weak on every side, "and when Russia seizes the Christian provinces of Turkey, the aggression will be upon Vi enna rather than upon the Porte." All Germany is indignant at the Cracow plun der. Switzerland is tempting Austria in to suicidal projects of intervention, if not of partition. In Italy, Austria is threat encd with multiplied d anjjers. Prussia, too, trembles. Overreached by Russia, sh-j is placed between two fires. In glan cing over the volcanic regions on the map of Europe, the Spectator finds that in all of them war "i3 imminent but the ad vance of Russia on Europe would pro voke a war ol L.urope on Russia.

Among the names which will be brought before the Harrisburgh Convention, for nomination, as the Whig candidate for Canal Commissioner, there is no one which would command more strength than that Joseph W. Patton, of Cum berland County. Mr. Patton, besides be ing a sterling Antimason and Whig, pos scsscs all the qualities necessary to make him a most excellent officer. The Coun ties of Blair, Cambria, Mifflin and Cum berland, have already instructed their del egatcs to urge his nomination, and he will go into the Convention with a strength equal if not greater than that of any other , candiJate.

The Richmond Enquirer gives two let ters from Mr. McLane, the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co., showing the views of the company in re lation to the right of way. Judging from these letters and the tone of the Balti more press, the Enquirer says: i "We feel warranted, in expressing our confident conviction, that the idea, that if the Legislature will stand firm on Fish Creek, "he Baltimore Company will final ly acquiesce in that point, is altogether fallacious. And we are the more anxious to correct this misapprehension, because, unless removed, it may result in driving the contemplated improvement from Vir ginia territory altogether, and loose to us forever its vast advantages a result much to be deprecated, and which, it is to be hoped, the wisdom of the Legislature will avert, before it shall be forever too late. 3V adopting that point for the terminus of the road, which it is certain the compa ny will accept."

THE object of this establishment is to supply a want greatly fell by re spectable travellers on our western high ways by residents, without family, ta ken sick and by patients from the sur rounding towns and country who resort to this place for relief Irom surgical and other diseases. Such have often suffered from the want of the various comforts and attentions so necessary and agreeable to the sick, and from careless and un faithful nurses; and been subjected to heavy and unreasonable charges. Invalids will here be provided with constant faithful and comfortable atten dance, snd at a rate much below the usu al charges. While the care of both physicians will be extended to every variety of disease, it is intended by Dr. Speer, to give spe cial attention to ALL SURGICAL DISEASES, PARTICULARLY TO DISEASES OF THE EYE. To these branches of his profession he has g'iven a large share of his atten ion for the last twenty-five years, and he will continue to devote to them the experience acquired by a constant prac tice during that time. The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper imenu Its establishment is suggested not only as necessary to supply an evi dent want in this city, in the entire ab sence of any sperial provision for the sick, but is warranted also by the success of similar institutions at Cincinnati and New Orleans the former under the care of Drs.

There is scacely any disease in which Purgative Medicines are not more or less required, and much suffering and sick ness might be prevented, were they more generally used. No person can feel well, while a costive habit of body prevails; besides, it soon generates serious, and of ten fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by a timely and judicious use of proper Cathartic Medicines. The Proprietor can recommend these Pills with the greatest confidence, belie ving them far superior to the pills in gen eral use; more mild, more prompt, safe, and uniform in their operation. In using them, no particular care is re quired. Persons may eat and drink as usual, and, if desirable, eat immediately after taking them. Age will not impair them, as they are so combined as to always readily dis solve in the stomach. In small doses they are alterative, and gently Laxative, but in large doses they are actively Cathartic, cleansing the whole alimentary canal from all putrid, irritating, and fecal matters, and produ cing healthy secretions of the Stomach.

In one of these cases the man had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen years, as to entirely disable him from bu siness, and for five months immediately previous to his taking the Life Preserva tive, he had been confined to his room; but before he had finished the third bot tle, he was enabled to walk about the streets, and soon after returned to his bu siness, from which he had been excluded by his afflictions.

Jlrs. lVJmcr. JC7OR ANOTHER PROOF ADDED. The cures performed by Wistar's Bal sam of Wild Cherry, are really aston ishing to the world. The following we have just received from Messrs. Joslin and Rowe, Drug gists, in Newark in this Slate, to whom it was communicated by lohn Wimer, Esq. a citizeu of Burlington, Licking county, Ohio. Durlington, O. Dec. I, 1843. Messrs. Joslin & Rowe At your re quest I herewith transmit to you a state ment of the case of Mrs, Wimer and child, as near as I am able to communi cate, which you are at liberty to publish if you see fit, as I feel a desire to inform the world of the effects of the invaluable midicine called Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherrv, to which, by the Divine bless ing, I am indebted for the restoration U health of my wife anJ child. About five years ago Mrs. Wimer was attacked with a violent cough, pain in the cIipsi and side and symptoms of approa ching consumption. During the interval from that time to some time in February last, she had been treated by eminent physicians from Utica, Sylvania, Homer Chatham and Newark, and with only partial relief of the most urgent symp toms. About one year ago she caught a violent cold, which seated upon the lungs, producing an alarming aggrava tion of all her previous systems. Her physician was sent for, and despite his best afforts she began to sink rapidly un der her disease. Cough, expectorant, and hectic, together with night sweats soon reduced her to a complete skeleton. In February last her attending physi cian deemed her case altogether hope less; a council was called, and after de liberating upon her casev unanimously pronounced her to be beyond the reach of means, and expressed their opinion that she could survive but a short time, one or two weeks at farthest. She was at this time entirely confined to her bed, and scarcely able to articulate, except in a whisper. .Her daily proxysms of coughing would last uninterruptedly from three to five hours, and so severe that we expacted every proxysni would be her laat. The physians in council pronounced her lungs, liver, kidneys, spine and mu cus membrane of the stomach to be incu rably diseased. It was at this last extremity that wo happened to obtain a pamphlet describing Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, as applicable to lung affections. We imme diately sent to you and procured a bottle, and commenced its use at evening by giving her one teaspoon full, and such was the surprising effect that she was a ble to pass a comfortable night without experiencing any paroxysm of coughing; and such wa3 its ultimate effect, that, af ter taking five bottles, she was, contrary to the expectations of her physicians and every one who saw her, entire restored to health, and since hst summer has done the entire work of the family. After the last attack of Mrs. Wimer, our youngest child, then an infant at the breast, was taken down and rapidly sink ing with the same symptoms as its mo ther, and having seen the happy effeets in the case of the mother, we were dis posed to make a trial of it for the child, and it was attended with the same per fect success. The above statement ran be attested by our physician as well as our neigh bors and acquaintances, who ?aw Mrs. Wrimer during the course of her sick ness. Yours truly, JOHN WIMER.
