In the large number of cases, 206, out of 23.1, its use was followed by marked and unequivocal improvement, varying in degree in different cases from a temporary retardation of the progress of the disease and a mitigation of distressing symptons, up to a more or less complete restoration to ap parent health. T-iy "The effect of. 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 appetite, flesh and strength were gradu ally 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 regitnenal, that has yet been em ployed." .11 we have nzadc arrangements to pro cure the Cod Liver Oil, fresh front head quarters, it can now be had chenticallyvere by the single bottle, or nt bo.vcs of one doz en each.

Marriage in different Nations. In Ceylon, one of the principal ceremonies consists in tying together the clothing of the bridegroom and bride, to signify that they are bound together for life. Tills ceremo ny is performed in the presence of their friends, and with such festivities as the means of the parties will admit. • In Java there are three kinds of wart gcs. The first, and most common is, where the parties are of equal condition, or the bridegroom is the superior of the bride, the second is, when the wife's station is much higher than that of the husband ; and the third is a kind of halfmarriage, the ofEwrings of which are not admitted to an equality with other children. This marriage is quite .unceremonious, but the two other modes are celebrated with some display. The first wife is always at the bead of the family. Girls in Java, are married at so early an age, that a single woman of twenty-two is i almost unheard of. A price is always paid by the bridegroom. The bridegroom splen didly mounted, accompanied by his friends with music, goes to salute his bride. She comas out and meets them with a low obei sance. They sit together on an elevated seat, and eat out of the same dish, after which they go to the mosque, and the nup tials, are celebrated according to the Ma hommedan ritual. Then ensues a wedding Procession thro' the village, a wedding feast, and at the end of five days anothor proces sion, in which the bride is conducted to the residence of her husband; in some places the spinning -wheel, loom and kitchen uten sils,are carried in the bridal procession. In others the bride washes the bridegroom's feet, in token of subjection. In Sumatra, the Battas have as many wives as they please generally five or six, who all live in the same apartment will] their common hushand..but each has a sep arate fire-place. Husbands purchase their wives of their father-in-law, and gamble them away, or sell them whenever they please. Among the Redjangs, anothe'r tribe, he. sides the purchase of wives, a man is some times adored by the girl's father as a son in-lew, and both are subject to the parent ; and there is another marriage, where both men and women pay an equal price. and are on equal equality. The ceremonies are very. simple. •Itt.Borneo, no man is allowed to solicit a damsel in marriage until he has cut nfl' the head of an enemy. When this condi tion is fulfilled, the lover makes•presents to It is mistress; if they are accepted, an enter tainment is`giVen by her parents, and on the ensuing day .by his parents. After the feast the bridegroom is _conducted home to the house of the bride. At the door, a friend sprinkles him with the blood of a cock, and her with the blood of a hen ; and • the parties then give each other their bloo dy hands, and from that time they live to , gather. If 'a man loses his wife, ho cannot marry a second, until he cuts'off the head of another enemy. • - In Celebes, the husband receives no oth-: er dowry with his wife than the ptesenta she obtains before'the ceremony. - As soon as the young couple ate married, they are ishat up inapartment by themselves for three days; -aservaAt brings them ,the necessary rood while their friends are entertainerk- with Trost Merriment by ibeltide l ejethet. , At the end tot , thie time they are. libetatedi te- ceive the congratulation of friends, and arc - conducted - home. The marriage customs of the natives of New-Holland are rather more curious than agreeable. Before a girl is given to her husband, her two front teeth are knocked out. The-lover then throw& a Karigaroo skin over her shoulder, spits in her face sev eral times, marks her with painted strips of different colors, orders her to march to his hut with his provision bag; If she does not move fast enough to please hini, he ad ministers a few kicks by the way. These savages generally steal wives from the tribes with whom they are at enmity. As soon as they perceive a girl without any protec tor they rush upon her and stupefy her with blows of a club, and drag her through the woods with the utmost violence. Her tribe retaliate merely by committing a simi lar outrage There are no other wedding I ceremonies among these savages. The Moors marry at an extreme early age. Wives are always purchased ; and the father of the girl cannot refuse an offer, unless there is some stain upon the young man's character. The bridal tent is adorn ed with a small white flag, end the bride groom's brow is encircled with a fillet of the same color. The bride is conducted to the tent by her parents, where the lover presents her with garments and jewels ac cording to, his wealth. A grand entertain ment is given, and the young women dance all night to the sound of the instruments, while the spectators regulate their motions, by cla rping their hands. These dances aro not vely decorous. The marriages of the negro tribes ere conducted with but 'Ve ry little ceremotfy except in an abundance of pastime and dancing. Meng the Jereres, when the lover secur ed the consent of relations, he summoned his friends to assist hint in carrying off his bride, who shuts herself up 4: a hut, with her companions, where they maintain an obstinate siege before they conclude to surrender, In Brammuk, the bride comes to the hut of her husband 'with a calabash of water, with which she washes his feet, and wipes them with her mantle. In Congo; the negroes take their wives for a.-year on trial; if at the end of that 'time they are satisfied, the wedding is cele brated with a feast. The Missionaries en deavor to abolish this custom without suc cess ; the mothers declaring that they would not risk the happiness of their (laugh ters by urging them into an indissoluble uni on with persons with whose temper and ha bits they were unacquainted. In Abysinnia, there is no form of marri age ceremony. Parties live together as long as they choose, and these connexions arc dissolved and renewed as often us they may think proper. African Princes have an unpleasant way Of. furnishing dowries for their daughters. When the Sultan of Madam married his daughter to an Arab Sheik, “the nuptials were celebrated by n great slave hunt among the mountains, When after a dreadful strug gle, three thousand captives by their tears and bondage, furnished out the materials of a magnificent marriage festiYal.' In Daliomey, all the unmarried females throughout the country are considered the property of the sovereign. Once a year they are brought before him ; he selects the most engaging for himself, and sells the rest at high prices to his subjects. No choice is allowed the purchaser. He pays twenty thousand dowries, and receives such a wife as the king chooses to award him ; being oblidged to appear satisfied with the selection, whatever may be her as pect or condition. This.monarch has three wives; but the King of Ashantee has ex actly three thousand three hundred and.thir ty three, and the safety of his•country is supposed to depend on his keeping up this mystical number. . I Thrilling Scene. During n high wind ono day, while the broad, torpid river rose in short, angry waves, that bore a most threatenirig aspect, a couple of little boys were seen in a small skifl; a long distance from shore, apparently amusing themselves with youthful daring in braving the angry current, and the fierce wind. Suddenly a large tow-boat,. the An glo-Saxon, came puffing round the point at Algiers, and rapidly made her way up the river and in the direction of the skiff: The boys seemed heedless . Of the danger, and re mained dancing about on the waves; now and then taking a pull at the oars. On came the boat, the rapid whirl of hetwheels and the .quick loud puffs from her steam. pipe showing how greot was her speed, whilst all elf board appeared not ,to notice the.small shell of a boat, that contained two human beings, which now floated . but a short distance ahead of them. It was a deep, thrilling sight to watch the great steam monster movingmteifilyon her way, plough. ing through the foaming surges, and throw ing it in cascades from her bows, every mo. merit nearing the.frail thing of planks, for which .escape appeared. hopeless, At length. :the. boys perceived their danger— the red glare of the. furnaces &shed in their eyes—the clang and , cnish of the engine struck their cars—human figures cluster wildly on the decks and - sides of the big boat that is furiously coining down on the poor boys, who . hold out their hands and shout to them—in vain. A moment more, and all will be over ; they will• go scream ing andstruggling down into the fearful, •Iniling gulf that leaps up at them as if to grasp its shrink ing prey—a thought of home and loving faces—a wild prayer, a shriek of agony—and they will be food for fishes. But see ! the boat is stopping; the wheels have ceased to turn ; the steam-pipe is si lent; she has taken another direction ; the gallant boys ply their oars with might and main ; life is in every movement ; the boat passes them by a few feet only, but that is enough—they are saved ! Ageneral cheer, in which the brave little fellows joined, cap in hand, winds up the brief but perilous scene.--N. 0. Della. • Scene at a Slave Sale. One of the most revolting, and at the same time touching scenes, it has ever been our lot to witness, occurred yesterday in the auc tion store of Mr. N. Vignie, on. St. Louis street. The estateof M r Ben yenta() Duran, lately deceased,, consisting chiefly of slaves, was to be sold, for the benefit of a creditor: The negroes were brought up, as is usually the case, one by one and exhibited to the by standers, before being put to the hammer. On the presentation of the third, advertised as "Madeline, an orphan quarteroon, aged about 9 years," every one present was hor rified to behold paraded before them a love ly girl, delicately formed, white us the pur est of the Circassian race, her face buried in her hands, and her slender frame convulsed with sobs. Thera was a pause of some min utes. . The crowd could not realise that one of their own nice could be thus led up amorfil negroes to be passed into lifes-long bondage, AMazement was succeeded by indigntabo,-as several gentlemen setabout inquiring:as.;,to . the manner in which the child had been:thrust into such degrading associations. Mr. Duran, it appears, was a Spaniard by birth ; was some years since in affluence, in this city ; but latterly his circumstances de clining, he moved from the first to the third Municipality, where he kept a small groce ry store, and struggled through comparative poverty. None of the negrues knew any , thing of the early history of the girl, except one old man, who said' heetriother was a white woman, who dying when her child was yet but an infant, Mr. Duran took -the orphan in charge to rear as an adopted child. This was when he was in prosperity. For some years after the death of her mother, a lady was in the habit of visiting Mr. Duran's house regularly, to see the child, and con tinued her visits until about the time he moved into the third Municipality, since when, Fier or five years ago, she has never been seen. Whether this lady was a rule, tive or friend of the mother, interested in the fate of her offspring, the old man knew not ; nor did he know who the lady was, or whence she came. - Upon this information, the sale was stop ped,und Adeline was taken possession of by Mr. Charles Lovenskiold, to whose human exertions in her behalf she is perhaps in debted for her liberty. Mr. L. has kindly installed her in his own family, and will bring her up as a member of it, if the law does not defeat his benevolent intentions.— The girl though of late years mingling al-• most exclusively -with the negroes of Mr. Duran's household, is intelligent' beyond her years, speaks both French and Spanish fluently, and understands English. The affair speedily obtained public notori ety in the lower part of the city, an created an intense excitement. Several free per sons of color interested themselves- in'the case, and in a few hours collected among their own .class near $2OO, to buy the girl , out of the estate, and bestow upon her, her freedom. This - ; has not been permitted ; however, and from present appearances, there is little probability of her subjection to the degradation of being included in the chattles of the succession. Mr. Duran has left no heirs, mai dying intestate, his property escheats to the State, nfter satisfaction of the creditors. There is but one creditor, and his feelings were us deeply alneted yesterday, as those of tuiy 'person present. Mr. LevensMold and oth ers who have taken the girl's cause in hand, however, have determined upon an entire purification of the girl, and if it be practica ble, will bring the case before the courts in such manner that a jury shall pass upon her blood.—N. 0.
