" HoySE. Tha House went into Committee
of the Whole on the state of the Union, and
returned the' consideration of the Navy Ap
propriation Bill. ,
, The amendment to Abolish flogging in the
nary, except in cases where courts martial
- ate held, and the sentence is not carried into
fleet until twenty-four hours after judgment,
"and abolishing the spirit ration, and giving a
remuneration of five, cents per day, was fur
ther amended by addling, "that wine and
'ardent spirits shall not be Used by officers on
VKIpboard while in actual service, except as
medicine, to be administered under the di
reption of the ship's surgeon."
Mr. Thompson, of Miss., offered a substi
tute for .the above, which was adopted, 89 to
3'l, "that flogging shall be hereafter abolished
Hn the naval service "
Mr. Stanton, of Tenn., offered an amend
'rnent authorizing the Secretary of the Navy
So enter into a contract with Messrs. Bryan
for building three steamships to run between
he United States and the coast of Africa
Mr. Jones raised a question (hat the amend
ment was not in order.
The Chair ruled that it was.
Mr. Jones appealed, and Committee refused
'to sustain the Chair Ayes 39, Nays 91.
Mr. Stanton, of Kv., olfered an ampnd-
'ment, which was rejected, that the officers of
Ihe late Texas Navy be incorporated into that
'of the United States. ,
Mr. Evans, of !!., again offered an
'amendment to abolish the spirit rations.
Mr. Hibbard moved to amend by prohibi
ting it to officers, except as medicine.
Mr. Jones wanted to know how many offi
'cers would be sick, if the amendment should
be adopted 1
Mr. Kaufman moved a proviso that no
'more than one duse shall be admisiered a
'day. Laughter. This was adopted and
then the entire amendment was rejected.
AMIN DEY,
The Turkish Ambassador, is receiving eve
'ry attention at the hands of the Government
at Washington. On Thursday the 19th iust.,
the Hon. Daniel Webster, Secretary of
'State, paid him the compliment of calling on
him at his lodgings; after which lie took him
in his carriage to the Capitol, and intioduced
him to many members of both Houses of Con
gress. The Envoy appeared much satisfied
ty this courtesy, and spent some time in each
ouse. The National Intelligencer says that
the Serrate', in the course of the day, having
under consideration the Civil and Diplomatic
Appropriation Bill, 'inserted an appropriation
often thousand dollars to defray the personal
expenses of the Envoy during his residence
and travels in the United States a mark of
respect towards the Sovereign of Turkey, and
to the motives which prompted this mission
On Thursday night, the Envoy wnsse'riWIed
by the Marine Band, at his lodging, at I lie
National Hotel, and having been vociferously
called for, ho appeared at the window, and
through his interpreter, Mr Brown, addressed
the assemblage. He mentioned that lie was
the Columbus of his nation, beiris the first
native Turk who had visited America. Hav
ing acknowledged the attentions and kind
ties shown him, and expressed his admira
tion of our country and its citizens, in the
true spirit of Eastern munificence, he ordered
a collation for the Band, and retired amidst
the cheers of the assembled multitude.
The following whimsical circumstances
happened some time ago in Kilkenny :
"A tailor, who was married to a very sickly
woman, got enamoured of a young girl who
lived in his neighborhood, and, on certain
conditions, he agreed to give her a promise,
an writing, to marry her immediately on the
demise of his wife; in consequence of which
Mr. Snip passed the following curious note of
'hand. "In two days after the demise of my
tpneeent wife, I promise to Mary Mix Moran
'or bVfier, value received, under fifty pounds
sterling. Vjiveii under my hand this six
'leenth day of May, &c, J. Sullivan.' Shortly
'after Mitis Moran received the ubove note,
she died, leaving it endorsed to u female
Vriend, who alee chanced to take a fever, and
died, tsefore the tailor1 wife; however, on
tier sick'bed, she ato endorsed the note, and
gave It to aootftin, wfcotu the tailor absolutely
"inarrleil, agreeably to rtie endorsement, in
Wo day's after the death 'ef his Wife, and it
said the tailor and his wife are now living
happily iu tlie 'city 'ef Kilkenny."
Destructive FiTi'e in toTT'sVVi.i.'B. X fire
'broke out Potts'viUd, at X o'clock, yesterday
morning, that has 'caused extensive destrUc
tion. It had its origin in Ate carelessness of
'a teamMer, who wa"? tending his horses in
the stable of Geisses' tavern, on Centre street,
above Market. It consumed trie wiole row
'of stables on that side of the street, and all
the shops and offices on Market, street to
Thomson's store, which was saved. Mills'
tavern, on the opposite suta of trie street Irom
'Geisses' -stable, was also destroyed ;l and con
siderable injury waa done to the Methodist
church adjoining. The property lost is to be
Regretted chiefly for the immediate inc'o'nve-
IiieiVc'e of the occupants. Otherwise, like the
arge fire on Centre street', it will put substan
tial and gotJd looking buildings iu the place
of unsafe and unsightly rookeries'.

ASOTHER sUfiftTIFIC WONDER.
PEPSIN!
THE TRUE
DIGESTIVE FLUID,
GASTRIC JUICE !
A GREAT DYSPEPSIA CTTREH,
.Prepared from RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of tht
Ox, after direction! of BARON L1EBIG, the great
Physiological Chemist, by J. 8. HOUGHTON, M. D.,
No. 11, North Eighth Street, Philadelphia, Pa. ,
This is truly wonderful remedy for INDIGESTION,
DYSPEPSIA, JAUNDICE, LIVER COMPLAINT,
CONSTIPATION, and DEBILITY, Curing after Na
tare's own method, by Nature's own agent, the Gastric
Juice.
t3T Half a teaspoonful of this Fluid, infused in water,
will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds of Roost Beef in
about two hours, out of the stomach.
DIGESTION.
DIGESTION is chiefly performed in the stomach by the
uid of u flu id which Ireely exudrs from the inner cisut
ot tJtul orffuu, wlieii in a state of health, culled the Gustne
utce. This nuid is itie ureal soivcm 01 tue r ood, the
Purilyinjy, Prvsttrving, and Stimulnting Agent of the stw
iiuich'ajKl tntcmiiies. Without it there will be no diges
tion,, ho conversion of food into blood, and no nutrition
nf the body ; but ruther a foul, torpid, painful, and destruc
tive condition of the whole digestive apparatus. A weak,
half dead, or injured stomach produces no good Gastric
Juice, aiidbeiicethe disease, distress and debility which
ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
PEPSIN is the chief element, or irreat Diireatinff Princi
ple of the Gastric Juice, it is I on ud in greut abundance iu
t)ie solid ports of tlx; human stomach after death, and some
times causes the stomach to digest itself, or eat itself up.
It is also found ia the stomach of animals, us the ox, calf,
Ac. It is the material used by farmers in makinir cheese.
culled Rennet, the effect of which hus long been the apecial
wonder of uie dairy, me cunning ot mutt is the nrst pro
cess of digestion. Rennet poNteutus astonishing power.
The stomach of a calf will curdle nearly one thousand times
its own weight of milk. Baron Liebig states that, 'Ont
part ol Pcpalu dissolved in sixty thousund parts of watei,
will digest meat and other food." Diseased stomachs Dro-
duce no good Gastric Juice, Rennet or Pepsin. To show
uiai in is want may oe penecuy auppuea, we quote the (ol
io wing
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BAHON LIEBIG, iu his celebrated work mi Animal
ChemiKtry, says: "An Artificial Digestive Fluid auaiagotis
to the Gastric Juice, may be readily prepared from the mu
cous membrane ot' the suimoch of the calf, iu which various
articles of food, as meat mid eggs, will be softened, chang
ed, and digeatcd, just in the same maimer as they would be
in uie nuuian siomucn."
Dr. PEKEHIA, in his famous treatise an "Food and
Diet," published bv Fowlers Jc Wells. New York, rare
35, states Uie amne great fact, and describes the method of
preparation, iitereare lew higher authorities than Dr.
Pereirn.
Dt . COM BE, in his valuable writings on the "Physiology
of Digestion," observed that "a diminution of the due quan
tity of the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all-prevailing
cause of Dyspepstia and he slates that 4 'a distiuguialied
professor of medicine in litnoii, who was severely alHict-
ed with this cemplaint, finding every thing else to fail, had
recourse to the uastnc Juice, obtained lroin the stomach of
living aniniuls, which proved completely successful."
Dr. GRAHAM, author of the famous works on "Vecre-
tnble Diet," auys: "it is a remarkuble luct in physiology,
tbat Uie stomachs of' aiiimuls, macerated in wuter, impart
to the lluid the property of dissolving vurious articles of
food, and of etfecuug a kind of artificial digestion of thsin
iu no wise ditlerunt from the nuluml diffentive process."
Dr. SIMON'S great work, the "Chemistry of Man,"
(Lea Hlmwht.nl, Phila. lMtl, pp. says: "The dis
covery of PEIIN forms a new era in the chemical history
of Digestion. From recent Xeiiuieuts ws know that
food lit dissolved as rapidly in an artificial riigcstive fluid,
isreiMired irom pepsin, as it is tu the natural uuvtrir Juice
