It was known about town yesterday that the At torney General had given an opiuion iiyait st the position taken by Mayor Banet in the matter of te tusing to subscribe to the oath of allegiance taken by Lit fellow Police Coramisaioneis, and this morn ing it was whispered that the board had, in accor dance with that decision; voted that Mayor Berret could not act with them. To all the talk created by this position of things a new impetus was given this morning, by the announcement of Mayor Per. ret on charge of dialoynity. It was at first supposed that the arrest was an immediate result of his refusal to take the oath of allegiance, but subsequent developments showed that Government had causes for his arrest quite independent of the action in connection with the Board of Police Commissioners. Mayor Barret I ..ft the sitting of the Police Board about seven o'clock, P. M. He was arrested t his house ou H street, in the course of the night, tut so quietly was the ar rest effected that probably not a single resident of the neighborhood was aw ire of the movement un. til long after the Mayor had been placed upon the train, and was far on his way to Fort Lafayette, .New York harbor.

Srcrofula, or King's Evil, ;- .i ."..*titulkisJ (lu-ta-t, a corruption of ths Ly uhi-h fluid Incomes vitiated, xk. Hi-.ii poor. living in the circulation, it • •! " vlu'te body, and may burst out i . Hi-etc*,- o.'i a;iv part of it. No organ is free fr : i A- .. tack-i JOT i# there one which it may not dtatr >y. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial di-ease, low living, dis ord-jied or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and -filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venerea* infection. What ever be it origin, it is hereditary m the con stitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation indeed, it seems to be the rod of Ifim who says, •• I will visit the iniquities of the lathers upon their children." Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed t iborele*; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, sa that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, v..-t nu.ul.-r* perish by disorders which, ulth' ugh not scrofulous in their nature, are still rend red fatal bv this taint in the sv-tem. Most of the consumption which de oil ii.it w the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, and. indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; thi ir persons arc invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it front the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such u medicine vre supply in AYER'S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medieal ! skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remedial l * that have 1 been discovered for the expurgation of this foul ' disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the j system from its destructive consequences. licuce it should lie employed for the cure of I not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIVE i and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIBS, ROSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, P CUTTLES, BLOTCHES, BLAINS and BOILS, TUMORS, TETTER and SALT RHETM, SCALD HEAD, RINGWORM, i RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL DIS- j BASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, j indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VITIA TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in " impurity of the blood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sartapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer s Cathartic Pills, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO, are so composed that disease within the ranee of their action can rarely withstand or evade them Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring it* healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis niv American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use m the following complaints : Coetive riess, Heartburn, Headache arising!from disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Dotcels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump tion, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have bean restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape ob-ervation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing ami dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this baa gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.

It also revivifies, reinstates and renews the blood in all its original purity, and thus re stores and renders the system invulnerable to attacks ot disease It is the only preparation ever offered to the world in a popular form so as to be within the reach ot all. So chemi cally aDd skillfully combined as to t>e the most powerful tonic, and yet to perfectly adapted to aj to act in perfect accordance with the fries of nature, and. hence so oth the weakest stomach, f and lone up the digestive organs, and sllay nervous and other irritation. It is also per.ki Ml'ectly exhilarating in its effects, and yet it is £ ■ never lollowed by lassitude or depression o.'E I spirits. It is composed entirely of Vegetables™ those thoroughly combining powerful M ■ tonic aDd soothing properties, and conse-JT i qnently can never injure. SUch a remedy hs|N ■ long been felt to be a desideratum in the medi- p cal woild, both by the thoroughly skilled inß medical science, and also by all who have gut- ■ ■ fered froai debility ; for it needs oo a skill or knowledge even to see that debility ■ all attacks ot disease,and lays the ud-k ■ guarded system open to the attacks of many £ Mof the most dangerous to which poor humanity ■ Sis constantly liable. Such, for example, as, : the following: Consumption, Broncbitis. In-■ digestion, Dyspepsia, Loss cf Appetite, Faint- 9ness, Nervous Irritability, Neuralgia. Palpita tion of the Heart, Melancholy, Hypocondris, • Night Sweats, Languor, Giddiness, and r that class of cases, so fearfully fatal if unat-P^ ■ tended to iu time, called Female Weakness andr* ™ Irregulai ities.
