"C.J. U. V, Illinois, M. D., F. K. S., Prolcssor of Medi cine in University College, London, Consulting Physi cian to the Hospital for consumption, &.C., says : I have prescribed the Oil in above four hundred cases of tubercu lous disease of the Lungs, in different stages, u Inch have been under my care the last two years and a half. In the large number of cases, 206 out 0f234, its use w as fol lowed by marked and unequivocal improvement, varying in degree in different cases, from a temporary retarda tion of tlie progress of the disease and a mitigation of dis tressing symptoms, up to a more or less complete restor ation to apparent health " The effect of the Cod Liver Oil in most of these cases was very remarkable. Even in a few days the cough was mitigated, the expectoration diminished in quantity and opacity, the night sweats ceased, the pulse became slower, and of better volume, and the up|>ctite, llesh and strength were gradually improved. "In conclusion, I repeat that the pure fresh oil from the Liver of the Cod is more beneficial in the treatment of Pulmonary Consumption than any agent, medicinal, dietetic or re.giritenal, that has yet been employed."

I In* number ol workmen employed to finish one article ol* ehinaware is almost incredible ; a single cup is said, from the kneading of the paste, to pass through seventy hands before u is ready for sale; each lndu ldual, in its progress, pcrlonninw as little as he possibly can for the remu neration he receives. The Chinese deco rate the exterior of their dwellings, and their pleasure grounds, v\ itli enormous pieces ol porcelain, both in the shape of vases and figures; these are formed each in several pieces, and each piece or portion in a mould ; the paste is first well pressed into the moulds, which are then placed be fore a fire for a short time, to detach the figures lrom their moulds; the various portions are then united and cemented to gether, the joints are carefully smoothed off by the chisel, and are varnished and painted over, alter which they are imperceptible. The designs traced upon their porcelain or china are very inferior, but the colors used by the artists \\ ho paint these designs are lar superior to any Kuropeau coloring.— i'he division ol labor in embellishing and painting the ehinaware is equal to that em ployed in the formation of it; one traces figures, another (lowers, a third paints the (igures, and a fourth the flowers—in fact, there is an artist lor delineating, and an other for painting each particular object; each goes on in one beaten track, without the least conception or attempt at improve ment, or introducing new ideas in their de signs : and thus the same designs and figures are accurately copied by the artists ol the present day which were in use in the days ol Confucius. niTKIWOW IV EGYPT. Among tin* laborers upon Mr. Ltrkm's new building at Alexantlria we saw a Luge number ol young girls 1 roili ten to lourti en years of age. \V e were surprised to learn that most of tin in were already married. It is singular how very voting the Hgvp tian peasants marry. Nine or ten \ ears old lor girls, and twelve or lifteeu years lor hoys, is considered a marriageable age. Both sexes have so little objection to tin conjugal estate, that they get married as last and as soon as possible. Being married once is only the begin ning of matrimonial connexions in Egypt. Three or lour wives apiece among the peasants is the most common thing in the world. In addition to which there are al most constant mid continued changes. * Mil wives are being divorced, and new ones are taking their places ; so that the matri monial ceremony in some of its various forms, is almost continually passing before their eyes, and intermingled, as it were, with their daily avocations. The peasantry do not consider and num ber wives an incumbrance—all of them being.expected to work. An Egyptian, therefore, who has four good lieartv voting wives is looked upon as a man, as the English say, 44 well to do in the world —or as others would express themselves, • 4 in a very flourishing condition." These are blessings, f suppose, which those who find it hard work to support one. would hardly wish lo enjoy ; still the J'tHa'tx of the vale ol the Nile think otherwise ; and it they can keep out ol the arniv, and evade the suspicion ol the Turkish govern ors, they are pretty sure to enjoy them selves. They are a practical illustration ol the remark, that. '• poor nud content are rich, and rich enough." EXAMINING A WITNESS. —*• Sir," en quired the attorney ol a hurley Dutchman, • 4 W hat color was this hog when you first knew him 44 \ el, \eu I first became acquainted vid dt: hog he vas a very little pig, and he vas then a vite hog : but ven he got to be older, he got to be kind and sandy like, and I should den call him, on dc whole, a sandy hog." 44 What ear marks had he ?" " Vol, ven I first became acquainted vid tie hog, he had no very particular ear marks, except a very short tail." 44 Take your seat, sir," said the attorney ; 4 ' we'll call the next witness," ALLIGATORS' XESTS. j Pliey resemble, says Lyell, in his " Sec ond \ i.sit to America," haycocks, about lour feet high, and five in diameter at the base, being constructed of grass and herb age. I irst they depositc one layer of eggs on a floor of mortar, and having covered ill is with a second stratum of mud and herbage, eight inches thick, lay another . srtl egg upon that, and so on to the top, j there being commonly from one to two hundred eggs in a nest. Willi their fails they then beat down round tiie nest the dense grass and reeds five feet high, to prevent the approach of unseen enemies, 1 he female watches her eggs until thev art; all hatched by the heat of the sun, and then takes her brood under her care, de fending them and providing for their sub sistence. IJr. Luzenberger, of New Or leans, told me that lie once packed up one of these nests, with the eggs, in a box for . the .Museum <>( St. Petersburg, but was recommended before lie closed it to see that there was no danger of any of the eggs being hatched on the voyage. On ; opening one, a young alligator walked out, and was soon followed bv the rest, about a limn.red, which he fed in his house, where I t icv went up and down the stairs wliin iiing and barking like young puppies, i hey are voracious, yet their growth was so slow as to confirm him in the opinion that individuals which have attained the largest size are of very great age, though whether they live lor three centuries, as some pretend, must be decided by future observation. THE FIRST SPREE. " .Never was drunk but once in mv life," saitl a chap in my hearing, *• never mean to he again." The street seemed to he very steep, and 1 lifted my legs at every step as if 1 was getting upstairs. Several cart wheels were making evolutions in mv brain, and at one time I fancied that un bend was a large carving and turning es tablishment, the lathes of which L was keeping in motion with my own feet, i could not conceive what was the reason that the town had turned into such an enormous hill, and what made it worse, was, it seemed all the while growing high er. and threatened to pitch over me. Slop, stop, thought I, and I'll head this old hill yet, or at least it shan't head me. So I turned round to go down and get at the bottom, but hang me if the town did not turn round with me, heading me all the time, and presenting a bluff in front of me. W ell, sure enough the ground flew up and struck me or. the forehead, and soon as the stars cleared away I commenced climbing with my Jiands and knees. Tin next thing I saw was a big brick house coming full split round the corner !—and I believe it ran over me, for 5 don't remem ber any more !

EXTRACT From the Speech of Henry Clay on fom proniLing the Slavery cliv erett in the F, S. Senate, February 5 and 0, 1850. Sir, this I Jnion is threatened with subversion. I want, Mr. President, totakea very rapid glance at the course of public me&suies in this Union j presently, f want, however, before Ido that, to ask the Senate to look back upon the career which this country has run since the adoption of this constitution down to the present day Was there ever a nation upon which the sun ot Heaven has shone that exhibited so much of i prosperity '. At the commencement of this government our population amounted to about tour millions; it tins now reached upwards of twenty millions. Our territory was limited chiefly and principally to the border upon the Atlantic ocean and that which inciudes the southern shores of the interior lakes of our country. Our country now extends trom the northern provinces of Ureal Brilain to the Rio Grande and the Gulf of Mexico, on the one side, and from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific on the other side—the largest extent of terri tory under any go,-eminent that exists on the ■ face ot the eartii, with only two solitary ex ceptions. Our tonnage, from being nothing, has risen in magnitude and amount so as to rival that of the notion who has been proudly characterised "the mistress of the ocean." We have gone through many wars—wars too with the very nation from whom we broke off in 1 < i li, a= w ea;. and feebie colonies, and assert ed our independence as a member of the family of nations. And, sir, we came out of that struggle, unequal as it was—armed as she was at ail points, in consequence of just ha vmgcorno out of her Jong struggles with other European nations,and unarmed as we were at all points, in consequence ot the habits and nature of our country and ltj institutions—we came, I sav, out ol tbet war without any loss of honor what ever—we emerged from it gloriously. In every Indian war—and we have been en gaged m many of them—our armies have tri iiiiiphed ; and without speaking at all as to the causes of the recent war with Mexico, whether it was right or wrong, and abstaining from any expression of opinion as to tbe justice or pro priety of the war, when or.ee commenced all must admit that, with respect to the gallantrv ; of our armies, ttie glory of our triumphs, theie is no page or pages of history which records I more brilliant successes. With respect to one commander of an important portion of our army I need say nothing here; no praise is necessary , in behalf of one who has been elevated by the voice of his country to the highest station she could place him 111, inainiy on account of his glorious military career. And of another, less fortunate in many respects than some other military commanders, I must take the opportu nity ol saying, that ibr skill, for science, for s rategy, "lor ability and daring fighting, for j chivalry of individuals and of masses, that por- ; lion uf the American army which was conducted j by the gallant Scott as the chief commander, j stands unrivalled either by the deeds of Cortez I himself, or by those of any other commander 1 m ancient or modern times. Bir, our prosperity is unbounded ; nay, Mr. i President, 1 sometimes fear that it is in wan tonness of that prosperity that many of the I threatening ills of the moment have arisen.— Wild and erratic schemes have sprung up throughout tiie whole country, some of which have even found their way into legislative halls; ami there is a restlessness existing among us which I fear will require the cfiastiseme.it of Heaven to bring us back to a sense of the im measurable benefits and blessings which have been bestowed upon us by Providence. At this moment—with liie exception of here and there a particular department m the manufacturing business of the counfry—all is prosperity and peace, and the nation is rich and powerful. Our country has grown to a magnitude, to a power i and greatness, such as to command the respect, j if it does notawe thcapprehensionsof the powers •1 the earth with whom we come in contact. Sir, do I depict with colors too lively the pros- j perity which has resulted to us from "the opera tions ot tins Union Have I exaggerated in j any particular her power, her prosperity, or her greatness ; And now,sir, let megoa little into ; detail with respect to sway in the councils ot i the nation, whether from the North or the South, I Uiiriiig thesixty years ot unparalleled prosperity tint wo have enjoyed. During the first twelve i years of the administration of the government j northern counsels rather prevailed; and out of j in em sprang the Bunk of the United States, the Ms.-umption w the state debts, bounties to the I li-heries, production to our domestic manufac tures. 1 allude to the act of 1789, neutrality , in ihe wars of Europe, Jay's treaty, the alien a ; . i sedition laws, and war with France. Ido t n it ssy, s:r, that these, tiie leading and pronn n n* measures which were adopted during the administrations of Washington and the eider Adams, were carried exclusively by nortiiern counsels —they could not have been—but mainly by : ,e ascendency which northern counsels had obtained in the affairs of the nation. So, sir,of the Inter period—tor tiie last titty years. I do not mean to say that Southern counsels ! alone have earned the measures which I am .about to enumerate. 1 know they could not e.v.dusiv ly hive carried them, but 1 say they 1 have been earned by their prepondermg in-| •ence, with the co-operation, it is true—the I trge co-operation in some instances—ot the ortliern section of the union. And what are those measures 1 During the fifty years, or nearly (hat period, in which southern counsels . have preponderated, the embargo and other commercial restrictions of non-intercourse and non-importation were imposed; war with Great Britain, the Bank of the United States over thrown, protection enlarged and extended to domestic manufactures. 1 allude to the pas- j sago ot the act of 1815 or I>l<>, the Bank of the United States re-established, the same Bank put down, re-established by southern counsels j and put down by southern counsels, Louisiana acquired, Florida bought, Texas annexed, war with Mexico, California and other territories ; acquired from Mexico by conquest and pur chase, protection superseded, and free-trade established, Indians removed west of the Mis sissippi, and fifteen new States admitted into the Union. It is very possible, sir, that in this enum 'ration 1 may have omitted some of the ; important measures wlrch have been adopted i during this Utl
