Late -from Europe.-
Rama:- jan. 23.—The Royal Mad Steamship
Niagara; Captain Leitch, from Liverpool, on Satur
day afternoon; the 7th - inst., en . route for Boston,
arrived at this port this forenoon, and reports uni
usually heavy weather during her passage, which
has been prolonged to- nearly sixteen days:" She
will be due at Boston at an early hour on Wednes
day forenoon.
Great Britain, France and Belgium, hid been
visited' with the heaviest snow storm exgrienced
for many years past, and apprehensions were en
tertained of destructive floods Irom the melting
snow and rain.
The intelligence (tom Constantinople and St. Pe
tersburg continues to be as contradictory as ever,
but the latest rumors are of a character to leave in
the estimation of the public scarcely any hope that
(he Czar will accept the last proposition. of the
Western Powers, and this view of the matter is
almost universally entertained - at Constantinople.
As a natural,cosequence of the greatly increased
probbailitieii of;tt general European war, -English
Stock and Brealstuff markets have been greatly
excited and ConsOls closed on Friday at a decline
of* to per cent on the week.
'Fhe Breadstuff Markets throughout Great Bri•
min ans. been more excited than at any precious
time since the famine in Ireland, and prices, had
largely advanced.

WE, the undersigned, Auditors of Lancaster County,
certify that we have carefully examined the 'foregoing
account of David Shultz, Esq., Treasurer of said county,
and compared his vouchers with the same, and find a
balance in his hands on the 2d day of January. 1854, of
Twenty-nlne Thousand and Seventy dollars and ninety
80V012 cents, (V 9,070 97), of county fulfils, for which sum
he has produced the receipt of Benjamin Reinhold, Reg,
the present Treasurer.
In the foregoing outstanding taxes there are several
large sums due by different townships, showing great
negligence on the part of collectors ; either in wheeling
or paying over the money.
The liabilities of the county for loans from individuals
at 5 per cent interest per annum, are at this time $BB,-
01'5 00.
We bare also examined the accounts of David Shultz,'
Esq., Tre - asurer of the Lancaster County Prison, and find
it correct, showing a balance due him by the Prison In
spectors of $4 16, on the 24 of January, 1854. We have
also examined the account of Wm. Gorrecht, Esq., Treas
urer of the Poor and House of Employment of Lancas
ter county, and find it correct, showing a balance in his
hands on the 2d of January, 1854, of Two hundred and
twenty-three dollars and thirteen cents, ($223 13).
In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands
at the County Commissioner? Office this sixteenth day of

Third Annual Report of the In
spectors of the Lancaster Coun
ty Prison.
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Court of Quarter Sessions' of Lancaster co.:
TN compliance with the Act of' Assem
blyi_ of the 19th of February, 1850, the undersigned.
submit the following Report of the state of the Prison,
for the year ending on the 31st day of December, last
On the 31st of Dec., 1852, there were in
confinement
In the course of the year there were re
celvps
Making the aggregate inmate. of the
Prison, in 1853
Of these, the following wore discharged
during tho year, viz:
By expiration of sentence 282
By Magistrates, District Attorney, Court,
Pardon, habeas Corpus, be. 223
Leaving in eonflnement, Dec.3l, 1853 61
Of them 61, 29 are convicts ; 2 committed for fine and
costs; 18 awaiting trial; and 12 vagrants t to. Of the
470 received during the year, 47 were convicted.
The tables hereto annexed furnish in detail much in
teresting information relative to the prisoners during the
past year. The whole number committed to the Prison
during the year 1853, excepting the 47 sentenced, was
423—0 f which 180 were for Drunkenness, 33 Vagrancy,
and 9 for drunken and disorderly conduct; as per table
No. 1. In addition to which there were sentenced, dur- •
ing the same period, 47, and remaining in Prison on the
31st of Dec., 1852, 45—making the above total in Prison,
in 1853, 516; as per tie No. 2. Table No. 3 shows how
the 455 discharged prisoners were disposed of. Table No.
4 will show the various charges upon which the 47 con
victs were sentenced. Table N 0.5 their term of sentence,
with the color and sex of each. Table No 6 their nativ
ity., with color and sex of each. By this table itappears
that of the 47, but 22 were born in Lancaster city and co.,
and 11 in Germany. Table N 0.7 their ages. About two
thirds of the whole number, viz: 31, Were under the age
of thirty years. Table No. 8 how often they have been
convicted. Table No. showing the occupations of the
prisoners prior to their conviction-rexhibiting the large
proportion of 30 in the 47 who were without trades. Ta
ble No. 10 shows the number that can rend and write—
more than half the number not being able.to write, and
17 who cannot read. Table No.ll shows hole many were
morrica—bui, 24 or the 47 nail been married. Table No.
12 shows their occupation while In confinement. And
Table No 13 the number of medical cases treated. Com
pared with the previous year,
there were 11 less received
in 1853 than in 1852, and 16 more remaining in Prison
at the close of the former than at the close of the latter
year.
There were besides the convictions for the usual crimes
3 convicted for horse stealing, 3 for kidnapping, 1 for
perjury• and 1 for rape.
The general health of the prisoners during the past
year has been good. The number of cases treated was
but 94—that of the previous year 102. The mess of these
94 cases came into the Prison Ina disordered and diseased
condition resulting from the dissipation and irregularity
of their lives. One prisoner died of Mania a Potu. For
details on this subject see Table No. 13, containing Phy
sician's Report. There were no cases of insanity devel
oped In the Prison during the past year.
The Inspectors in theiriast Annual Report, had occa
Mon to deplore the unusally large number of Vagrants,
" housed, warmed and fed at the public expense, 'during
the previous year, as peculiarly burdensome and expen
sive. This cause of complaint, although not entirely re.
moved, has greatly abated during the past year, as will
be seen by reference to table No. I—by which leappears
there were confined in that period but 33 Vagrants and
9 drunken and disorderly persons ; which contrasted with
the 67 of the previous year, shows a reduction in the past
year of more than one half Of that of the former year.
This decrease in Vagrancy, the Inspectors believe, is at
tributable to the beneficial operation of the sth section
of the Act of Assembly of March 31, 1853, by which it is
provided, "That any person or persons who- may be
convicted under existing laws, before the Mayor or any
Alderman of the City of Lancaster, or any Justice of the
Peace of Lancaster County, as a Vagrant, drunken or
disorderly person, shall, for the first offence, be sen
tenced to confinement at hard labor in the Lancaster Co.
Prison, for any term not exceeding one month ; and for
the second offence, for any term not exceeding 2 months;
and for every subsequent offence, for any term not less
than 1 nor more than 3 months,"
As under this
law Vagrants, and drunken and disorderly Persons are
aommitted for the second and subsequent offences to 60
end 90 days, the County is relieved of this on eZus charge
—in this length of confinement at hard labo , affording
a sufficient length of time to enable them to uire such
skill in the simpler occupations of the-Prison, as to be
able to earn as much as to pay for /their `maintenance.
The like gratifying decrease in drunkenness does not ap
pear to have taken place, as those committed for that of
fence in the year just closed were 180—being 15 more
than the previous year.
In the beneficial workings of the separate confinement
system during the past year, and its wholesome effects
upon those prisoners who hare, for any length of time,
been subjected to its discipline, e Inspectors have, had
further evidence of its adaptation to the reformation of
criminals and the prevention of crime, and unabated
confidence in its superiority over every other system.
The accompanying statements, marked by the letters of
the alphabet, relate to the financial affairs and manufac
turing operations of the Prison during the past year, and
contain much interesting iniarmation touching the sub
jects. Statement A. shows that the rash paid out on Or
ders issued by the Inspectors on the County Treasurer,
during the year was, $15,60223
From which deduct extraordinary
expenses incurred, to wit: -
Alterations and Repairs
Building account
Amounting in the aggregate tip $1,01225
Leaving,
As the amount expended during
the year for raw materials, for
manufacturing, maintenance of
prisoners, Officers salaries, cur
rent expenses, &a, from which,
in order to ascertain actual cost
to the County, is to be deducted
the following cash received, and
assets of the manufacturing do
partment, to wit:
Cash received by Keeper for goods
sold, and paid by him to the
County Treasurer, It 84,940 98
Manufactured goods on hand, Z 5,37459
Raw material, Y 1,42140
Due Prison for goods sold 1,01188
$12,748 R.
Lena the following items, to wit:
Due by Prison on account
of raw material $1,406 35
Manufactured goods on
hand, Dec. 31, 1852 1,94410
Raw material do. 1,332 01
Actual cost of Prison for the year $8,42358
This is $43102 less than the average oCthe previous
year. This sum, the Inspectors have ever reason to be
sieve, will hereafter be annually further diminished.
Statement P shows the amount paid to convicts and pris
oners for over work, to wit $l7O 67. '
Statements S, T, d, V and W, chow the progress made
in manufacturing in the Prison during the year. It ap
pears by these statements, that there were made 7.797
yds of Carpet for customers; 10,384 yds do for sale; 9120
yds Lancaster County Stripe; 200 yds Lancaster County
Check; 530 pairs of Boots and Shoes; 49 F
3,054% yds of Bagging; 27 dos B ags; 44,150 ;
42,600 Skivers and sundry other articles.
These statementsl compare favorably with the =res.
pending statements of our last Annual Report, and show
a large increase, during the year, in all the branches of
manufacturing, which, they doubt not, Will continue in
creasing annually,, until, as they predicted in their last
Annual Report, "the products of the manufacturing in
dustry of the prisoners will yield revenue proximately
sufficient to defray the expenses'' While there has been
such a large : increase in the quantity manufactured, there
tterno less marked improvement in quality and style.
'The fabrics of the Lancaster County Prison , especially in
the articles of Carpets and Strie's will not miler com
parison with the similar fabrics'of regular manufactories.
Much of the credit of the management of the Prison,
during the period embraced in this Report, is due to the
care and attention exercised by the Keeper and his as
sistants in
the performance of their duties.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Dr. Weeks.— Young man,. have you been
unfortunate 7 If so, you have a friend in the
person of Doctor Weeks. Do not trust yourself in
the hands ofmen calling themselves Physician a, but
who in reality are nothing but quacks, who make
great promises of curing you, while they fill your
system with mercury, thus breaking down your
constitution, and carrying you to a premature grave
But call on Dr. Weeks, who will cure you with
out mercury or other deliterious medicines. No
matter of how long standing your case may have
been, or how loathsome or aggravated tke symp
toms, despair not, but call on Dr. Weeks at once,
who has cured many of the worst cases ever known
even atter having been given up by other physi
cians of acknowledged skill and eminence. Dr.
Weeks is not a stranger among you, but a physician
long and well known in this city,. having had a
very extensive practice in this and the adjoining
states. His success in the treatment of all chronic
diseases has been unexampled, as hundreds are
prepared to testily. Recent cases cured in a few
days.
Dr. Weeks may be found for the present ; in E
German at., opposite the Methodist Church.

by self-abuse or by sexual excess, with advice for
their prevention, written in a familiar style avoid
ing all medical technicalities, and everything that
would offend the ear of decency; with an outline of

devoted to the cure of diseases of a delicate or pri

To which is added receipts fOr the cure of the
above diseases, and a treatise on the cause, symp

Testimony of the Professor of Obstetrics in Penn
'College, Philadelptua.--Dr. Hunter's Medical Man
ual.—The author of this work, unlike the majority
of those who advertise to cure the disease of which
it treats is a graduate of one of the best Colleges
in the United Stetes. It affords me pleasure to re
commend him to the unfortunate, or to the victim
of malpractice, as a successful and experienced
practitioner, in 'dime honor and integrity they may
place the greatest confidence.
Jos. S. Lososnorti, M. D.
From A. Woodward, M. D., of Penn. Universii
ty, Philadelphia.—lt gives me pleasure to add my
testimony to the professional ability of the Author
of the "Medical Manual." Numerous cases of dis.
ease of the Gental Organk, some of them of long
standing, hive came under my notice, in which
his skill has been manifest in restoring to perfect
health, in cases where the patient has been consid
ered beyond medical aid. In the treatment of Sem . -
inal weakness, of disarrangement df the-function)
produced by selfabuse, or excess of venery, 1 db
not know his superior in the profession. I have
been acquainted with the Author some thirty years,
and deem it no more than justice' to him as well as
kindness to the unfortunate victim of early indis
cretion, to recommend him ai one in whose pro,
fessional skill and integrity they may safely confide
themselves. Ar.rarn WOCiDWARD, M. D.
" This is without exception, the most compre
hensive and intelligent work published on the class
of diseases of which it treats. Avoiding all tech
nical terms, it addresses itself to the reason of its
readers. It is free from all objectionable matter,
and no parent, however fastidious, can object to
placing it into the hands of his sons. The author
has devoted many years to the treatment of the
various complaints treated of, and, with too little
breath to puff, and too little presumption to im
pose, he has offered t o the world, at the merely
nominal price of 25 cents, the fruit of some twenty
years' most successful practice."—Herald.

A Presbyterian clergyman in 011ie, • writing of
.1 - luntees Medical Manual" says Thousands
upon thousands of our youth, by evil example and
influence of the passions, have been led into the
habit of self-pollution, without realizing- the sin
and fearful consequences upon then3sellres and
their posterity. The constitution of thousands who
are raising families have been enfeebled, if n of bro„
ken down, and they do not kcow the cause mai the
cure. Anything that can be done so to enlighten
and influence the public mind as to theca, and ul
timately to remove this wide-spread source of Au
man wretchedness, would confer the greatest bles
sing next to the ,religion, of Jesus Christ, on the
present and coming generations. Intemperance (or
the use of intoxicating drinks) though It has slain
thousands, is not a greater scourge to the human
race. Accept my thanks on behall of the afflicted,
and, believe me, your co-worker in the good work
you are so actively engaged in."

Henry's Invigorative Cordial.
Purely Vegetable in its Composition. This
invaluable Cordial, is extracted from Herbs and
Routs, which have been found after years of expe
rience, by the most skillful Physicians, to be pos
sessed of qualities most beneficial in the diseases
for which it is recommended; and hence whilst it
is presented to the public, as an efficacious reme
dy, it is also known to be of that character on
which reliance may placed as to its safety. • I case
Impotency, Hoemorrhages, Disordered Sterility,
Menstruation, or Suppression of the Menses, Fluor
Albus or Whites, or for DEBILITY arising from any
cause, such as weakness from sickness, where the
patient has been confied to bed for some time,

•a tonic Medicine is required, it will be found equal
if not superior to any compound ever used.
- - Cro FEMALES.—Henry's Invigorating Cordial, is
on of the most invaluable Medicines in the many
co plaints to which females are subject. It as
sts to brace the whole system,
check ex
cesses, and creates renewed health and happiness.
Less suffering, disease and unhappiness among La
dies would exist, : were they generally to adopt
the use of this Cordial.. Ladies who are debilita
ted by those obstructions which females are likble
to, are restored by the use of a bottle or two, to
bloom and to vigor.
Yourro MEN;—That solitary practice, so fatal to
the existence of man; and it is the young who are
most apt to become its victims, from an ignorance
of the danger to which they subject themselves,
causing Nzavous DEBILITY, Weakness of the-sys
tem and Premature Decay. Many of you may now
be suffering, misled as to tha cause or source of
disease. To those, then, who by excess have brot'
on themselves Premature Impotency, Involuntary
Seminal Emissions, Weakness and Shrivelling of
the Genital Organs, Nervous Affection, orany oth
