LETTER FROM ROME.
(Comoro.lama of the N. American.)
Romig: Feb. '2811), 184 t.
Havi been in Naples during the event
fat or the revolation, I have thought
that * brief neemint of it might he interest
ing to you and your readers. You are a
ware that ever since the accession of Pius
IX. to the Pontifical Chair,,a spirit of civil
and political liberty has been spreading
over Italy. Even previously to the nu
ce,ssion of his Holiness, this spirit had been
fermenting in the Italian mind, and a num
ber of mon had been exiled on scrim' of
their polities! opinions. It is not strange,
then, that the first concessions made by
Plus IX, to his people should have awaken
ed the slumbering embers of this spirit,
which persecution 'inlet, to extinguish.
All Italy became aroused. The people
besieged the thrones of their kings with pe
titions for privileges which they had dis
covered were the birthright of men. lint
the despotism which had governed Italy
for age, was tilt to be moved by petitions.
It required something more than logic,
though fortified by the eloquence which
oppression had taught its victims, to eun
wince despotic rulers that there are some
rights Which are common to all Omit--
rights which appertain to the subject as
well is to the soVereign. That something
they. were soon to learn. The people, en
lightened as to their rights, soon became
etilightenedin regard to thiir strength... 7-
societies were formed; disrussions took
place; resolutions were adopted declara
tory. of the inherent rights of man, and of al
determination to claim them or perish.
The Sicilians, to whom some pledges of
a liberal constitution had been formerly I
made by their Prince., were amongst the I
most active and energetic of the friends of!
freedom. Less enlightened than the ball
ions of the Peninsula, there were, never
theless, a number of causes which placed
them in the van of the great movement in
favor of constitutional liberty. Their in-'
Suter situation removed them in some de
greelrOm the influence, exerted by the ini
porky and many of the nobles, in favor of
the, prerogative of the sovereign ; at
the same time they were subject to griev
ances from which the people of the King-1
down( Naples were free. Amongst these
grievinces absenteeism was probably the'
worst. The King and Court were estab
lished at Naples. and there the nobles and
courtiers of Sicily, to the great impoverish
mein of their country, spent their fortunes. ,
By thin and other means, Sicily became I
poor; but poverty was no security against l
the royal exactions. which the people al-!
lege were increased in the ratio of their de-I
creasing ability to pay them. In the dis
tribution of o:tiees and honors, Sicily had I
almost no part. She had no represeutativel
id the ministry; no friend in the councils,
of the king. These are some of the prin t
cipal causes which placed her in the front
of the battle for Italian freedom.
As soon as it became known that Pius
IX. had 'conceded to his subjects several of
the most important of the privileges apper‘ l
taining to freedom, the Sicilians petitioned;
their king for a constitution such as had!
been promised to them. Their petitions
were denied. The citizens of Palermo,!
the capital of Sicily, met and resolved that
they were entitled to certain rights, such
as their promised constitution was to have
secured to the country. They resolved,
likewise, that they would not cease to de
mand what was their right as men, as well
as what was their right by virtue of the
promise of their Prince. At the same
time it was resolved that ihey owed noal
legiance to any law not made in pursuance
ofthiliiinciples of the constitution, which •
was of right theirs. When the measures'
of the Sicilians became known in Naples
troops were dispatched to Palermo, to en::
force Obedience to the king and laws; but!
the Sicilians, advised of the designs of the
government by their friends in Naples,l
prepared for resistance. Arms were sought
for ; ammunition was procured at Malta,
and the people of Palermo, en rolled in com
panies, were taught the duties of soldier's
by old officers, who had served in Napo
leon's wars. The citizens of Palermo
were seconded by the people of Calabria,
who ran to arms, and hastened to join their
brethren, and tight by their side in the bat
tle for freedom.
The Sicilian ladies, inspired by the spir
it of patriotism, went amongst the soldiers,
entreating them to be firm in the mainten
ance of theie rights, and resolute in refusing
every compromise, which should not he
accompanied by such guarantees as the
king would be compelled to respect, and
which 'would secure the public liberty.—
When the Neapolitan forces were seen ap
proaching, they again appeared amongst
the troops, bidding farewell to their hus
bands and . brothers, and beseeching them
in the same breath, to remember their hon
or and fight like men in defence of their
houreiand children. An ardent enthusi
asm animated all classes; and in the skir
rniabes which took place between the Hied-
Mtn volunteers and the royal forces, the
advantage was generally on the side of the
former.
When tidings of the events which were
transpiring in Palermo were. brought to
Naples, the people there were awakened
ill a deeper sense of their rights. and in
spired with the hope of securing them..r—
They accordingly petitioned for a consti-
Maga, which should secure them in the
enjoyment of their lives, liberty and prop
erty. Their petition was peremptorily
denied by the king, who declared he would
C011411i12 nothing, while a portion of his do
minions was in a state of insurrection.—
But the events in Sicily had awakened a
spirit in the Neapolitans, which the royal
denial, acromputtied as it was with angry
denunciations, could not check. Meetings
of the people were held in various parts of
the city ; and demonstrations of the most
unequivocal sympathy with the Sicilians
%Fere every where seen.
On Thursday the 2Hth oflanuary, at an
early hour, the great streets of Naples wore
filled with thousands of people of all class
el, 4mlMntling a constitution, and the
'nun alike Of the minister of Police,
who lied become obnoxious on account of

made by his orders.

44N. In die nutraiug. the king had de
isierett.-that before he would ne.tle a single
concession to the demands of the people,
. tie would reduce the city to a heap of ruins.
111 the day the people wore a gloomy but
resolute look. Now and then, groups ap
proached the vicinity of the .troops, but
they were quickly dispersed by the onler
of sonic officer. If any hesitation, in obey
ing, was rcittaiked, it was quickened by
pointing a piece of artillery at the tartly
group. The day wore away without to
' melt and without bloodshed, though both
were momently expected.
i in the afternuon it began to be whisper
' ed that the king could not rely upon the
' troops ; that even the Swiss guards. sta
tioned in the yards and gardens of the
could not be depended upon in the
event of a contest with the people. Du
ring the after part of the day, a large num
ber of people had assembled in one of the
streets ; and thiise behind, pressing upon
those before, forced them in contact with a
battalion of of infantry, drawn up in - the
square. The officer iu comotand, seeing
that the act was involuntary, called out to
the soldiers 'not to hurt the people. The
considerate humanity of the olfie.er was
loudly cheered by the people, the troops
joining, with them in thanking him for his
litimane interpretation of their act. The
troops and the people being thus brought
into contact, exhibited their sympathy for
one another by mutual embraces. These
demonstrations of kind feeling 'between
the soldiers and citizens alarmed the mote
sagacieua of the-otlicars,-.44te-were-not
slow in communicating their apprehensions
to the king. About the same time news
came from Palermo, that after a sharp con
test between the royal troops and the peo
ple. the citadel had fallen into the hands of
the latter, A number of officers who had
been wounded there, were brought into
Naples, and added to the . alarm of the
king. Towards evening ho assembled his
Council to take into consideration the state
of affairs; and it was soon decided that a
constitution should be granted, guarantee
ing to the people the rights and privileges
which they had demanded.,
The next morehtg a proclamation. bear. ,
Mg the royal signature,.waii• put up at the
Palace; and copies of it distributed through..
out the city, announcing that the King, of
his own free will, 'Mired only by the love
which he bore to his people, had resolved
to grant them such ieonatitution as would
secure to them all the privileges of free
men. The principles of the promised
constitution,• which very nearly resembles
that of Belgium, were set out in the pro.'
demotion, which centained, likewise, a
pledge, that it should be formed and pro
posed for the acceptence of the people
within the next succeeding ten dept. The
people were also notified that the Minister
of Police, obnoxious to their resentment,
on account of a number of arbitrary arrests
which had been made by - his orders, had
been dismissed: The , truth was, he had
gone into volunary'exile. ,
As soon as it was known That the king
had complied with the wishes of the peo.
plc, the streets began to he crowded, all
ages, sexes and conditiOnslaving hurried
forth to congratulate each other on the
dawn of a day; pregnant tvith better things
fig Naples than the most sanguine hail
dared to - hope for. The nobles and the
common peOple, - priestsand laymen, young
and old, men and women, )net to exchange
embraces and congratulations. It was a
day of joy in Naples. 'rho enthusiasm of
the people was unbounded and manifested
itself in a way new to an American.—
Vrietida Would meet in .the street, rush in
to each others arms. kiss each other's lips,
cheeks and foreheads, crying all the while,
viva Napoli ! viva Napoli! Napoli e Lib
era! The sight was both novel and exci
ting ; and in the feeling of joyous exulta
tion which filled every &atom, I could not
help but participate. I might doubt of the
stability of free institutions amongst a peo
ple so volatile, PO impulsive, so little
instructed ; but I could not refuse to sym
pathize with them in the hopes which
made their future so bright-with promise.
exultation, exuberant as it was, was
natural. Twelve hours earlier they had
been slaves; the soldiers of an exasperated
king, the posseSsors of the city, waiting
but fur his. orders to comnienee their
slaughter. Now they were free,, their
lives and' property safe—a future efore
them, filled, not with realities, but with
creations of their own' etch and glowing
faneiel.' What people would not be hap
py and eruluaut under inch circumstances!
The next day their emancipation was
to be celebrated in a quote formal and bed-.
hart manner. Accordingly,' the daWn of
Saturday, the 29th of January, was usher
ed in by the firing of cannon, the beating
of drums and the display of banners. The
houses were adorned with festoons Auld
wreaths of evergreens and flowers, this
bounteous and sunny land yielding the lat
ter at every season. As soon as the day
had a little advanced, the people from all
Parts of the city began to crowd into the
Strada Toledo, and the Piazza Reale, the
great square in front of the palace; 'All
Naples seemed to have colleeted - there.—
Men, women and children, on foot, on
horseback, and in carriages, wearingbadges
and shouting ejects, jostled, pressed and
trampled on by turns, struggled forward
towards the square, where it was expeOted
the King would first make his appearance.
After a little while it was announced that
lie was coming; and then the shouts be
came deafening and the enthusiasm of the
people almost frantic. Soon, he appear
ed on horseback, accompanied by some of
the principal officers of the Household and
the Army, and was every where received
with transports of the most enthusiastic
gratitude and loyalty. Viva it ra, viva la
constiltaione, were shouted by ten thou
sand voices ; and in his progress from street
to street, he was followed by a jubilant
procession, miles in' length, and all appa
rently anxious to testify their loyalty to
the King, and their affection for, the man.
Congratulations, rejoicings and hymns to
freedom, were heard in every part of the
cite.
What a change a day had wrought in
feelings of this light and giddy, but amia
ble people ! Buti day before they were
in a state, bordering upon rebellion, in
hourly expectation of a bloody collision
with the King's troops, who watched them,
end whose guns were pointed upon their
dwellings. Execrations against the King
and ministry filled their mouths; andgloomy
forebodings gave an unwonted sternness
to their fat-es. To-day they seem to have
forgotten every thing, excipt that they are•
free, and that their freedom is the gift of
the king. His threats of wholesale de
struction, 'and his formidable preperations
to execute them. arc remembered no more.
it may be regarded as an amiable trait in
the character of the people, thus to have
forgiven and forgotten all ; but it cannot be
taken as an indication of that constancy of
of puvose and Mind, which would he like

On the last day of January 1 left Naples
fur Rome, whore I arrived on the evening
of the first of February. My feelings on
approaching the gates of the city were con
tused and tumultoue. The memories of
many centuries. were crowding around me.
The dusky air of the evening was peopled
•by my fancy. Romulus, Mune, the Tar
quin,. Lucretia and her avenger, Camillus,
MemeselyiheCrestr, the-Rubicom-Phare
Italia, the Capitol, Augustus, Anthony, Bru
tus, l'hilippi, Virgil, Horace, the Golden
Age, the world in Roman b ondage—men.
places and things, in strange confusion fil-
I led my mind. I was approaching the
scenes I had read and dreamed of—the
theatre on, which great men had played
great parts. I was about to see Rome—
that Rome who had been the world's mis
tress and her own slave; whose Generals
had been sent forth to destroy distant peo
ple, and had returned to destroy their own.
I was about to see the monuments of the i
olden times which have outlived so many
generations, survived so many fortunee, 1
and still stand as beacons to guide the
steps of those who would travel back into
the night of the far off distant past: I was
soon to see the Forum in which Cicero
.had spoken ; and the spot on which Bru
tus, who loved his friend no less but his
country more, had slain Cs sar because he
wasuarnbitious." I was about to see those
wonders of art. the creations of Phidias
'mud Raffael, in which beauty is idealized
and presented to us in formiel loveliness,
such as it is the privilege of genius alone
'to conceive. Trembling with expectation,
yet fearful of disappointment, I entered the
cite, amidst the shouts of the people, who
were rejoiceing over the political regener
' ation of Naples.
Long processions bearing torches para
ded the streets. crying Viva Pionono, Vi
va Napoli, while they were answered by
like cries from the window* el' the houses,
which were filled with men and women,
1 who waved banners and handkerchiefs in
sign of joyous exultation. It would have
required but little enint offancy, on my
part, to haie belieied that the flood of cen
turies had been rolled back, and that I was
a witness to one of those triumphs which
the Roman Semite had decreed to some
conquering general.
I have been some weeks in Rome, and
have seen the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the
Baths of Caracalla, the Forum, the Palace
of the Caesars, the Temple of Vesta. the
Tomb of Scipio. and a hundred other ruins,
all of which attest the ancient glory and
grandeur of the Mistress of the World.
But I will not attempt to describe them,
nor to possess you of my impressions as I
wandered among them.
I have seen St. Peters, an edifice wor
thy of Him to whose worship it is dedica
ted, if any edifice, erected by human hands,
can be worthy f Hint, who resides in a
Temple not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens. Standing beneath its migh
ty dome, endeavoring to gather into my
mind all its vast dimensions, I could not
help but be awed by the genius which had
conceived, and the power which had exe
cuted so stupendous a work. He who
built the magnificent dome, which towered
up above my head high into the air, and
looked down upon Rome and her seven
hills, of what mortal achievement was he
nut capable 2 It is the find church in Rome
and in the world. In its erection the ge
nius of Bramante, and of a greater still,
Michael Angelo, was exhausted ; in its de
coration ages have hem' employed and
milliOns expended.
But great as are Rome's monuments,
both ancient and modern, and deep as is
the interest which she excites on amount
of them, her preen' political condition and
bet relation to the rest of Italy and the
world, are greater still. The accession
of Pius IX. to the Papal TfrOee, will give
date to a new era in the world's history, or
I am' greatly mistaken. Already, a most
surprising change has been wrought.
'There are now three constitutional govern
ments on drUpettitskuli of Italy, and in a
few days, Rome wilt constitute a ,fourth.
A year ago. who would have' dreamed of
this I Who would have believed, that in
so short a space, Naples, Piedmont, Tusca
ny, and Rome, would have been constitt.;'
tional governments I :
To Pius IX is the credit of all t his due.
lie began his reign by refortnin,g abuses,
and granting to his people as much liberty
as he believed consistent with their best
interests. From time to time, as he regar
-1 ded it safe; he has been enlarging that lib
erty, and at length, seeing that the people
were qualified for it, he has promised them
a constitution, which will confer upon them
all the privileges of freemen. Strong in
his own integrity of purpose, and his con
victions of what is right, he disregards the
frowns and threats of Austria, as he does
the fears of the weak minded in his own
Councils, and proceeds steadily in the di- .
rection which wisdom and duty point out.
A wise, good and brave man, I cannot but
feel that he is the instrument which Pro
vidence has selected to change the face of
the world and better the condition of his
species. In a future letter I may continue
this subject.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. COOP.
ER.—We publish another interesting letter from
our townsman, Mr. Coors*, written from Rome
to the Editors of the Philadelphia North American.
It is a description of the Revolution in Naples, to
which Mr. C. was an eye-witness. The corre
spondent of the Boston Courier, writing from Rome
on the 28th of February, says that about 120 A
mericans celebrated WORINGTON . II Birth day in
that City by a banquet. Mr. Coors' presided
on the occult:on, and all the proceedings went off
with great enthusiasm. Mr George S. Hillard,
of Boston, made a most eloquent speech, and was
followed in enable manner by the Rev. Mr. Hedge.
A felicitous poem, abounding with humor and
sparkling wit, was recited by Wm. Story, of Bos
ton. He was followed by Crawlord, the scuptor,
in a speech that carne from the heart.
THE YORK BAR.—Judge and the
members of the York Bar bare got into rather a
serious snarl. On the 20th ult.. the members of
the Bar held a meeting. 'end resolved that in con
sequence of their utter want of confidence in the
mental and physical capacity of Judge farms,
they would request him to withdraw from the
Court in ease he should resume his seat on the
bench, and give them inopportunity ofitoing such
business u could not be deferred, before the Asso
ciate Judges,
Judge lawns% having appeared on the bench
on Monday last, the members of the Bar immedi
ately, withdrew and adopted a series of strong res
olutions, re-affirming their want of confidence in
the Judge, and their unwillingness to hazard the
issue of any important trial under his administra
tion, and again requerting him to withdraw from
the bench, to allow them so opportunity of doing
such business as could not be deferred, before the
Associates. These Resolutions were signed by
every member of the Bar, and Messrs Harnbly,
Fisher, and Potts wore appointed a Committee to
present them to the Judge, What the result is
to be, we cannot divine.

Mr Minna 'ginned that, be was no Democrat

an overwhelming majority of Democrats hail been

Mr. Zixotaa said he advocated principle, and
the attempt to read him out of tht patty he would

Mr. Mesa, explained. He had not attempted

I,IC.—We bare omitted our usual summary of
Congressional proceedings, for some weeks past—
the proceedings being invested with but little in
terest. The 'ten Regiment Bill still remains un
touched in thilionse, and, it thought, will not
be definitely lend upon until further intelligence
.
is received frost Mexico.'
On Monday, the President transmitted to both
Houses the following Menage in regard to the
French Republic:
To the &Sail sad Howse of Rrprynefaiirts :
I communicate to Congress, for their informs
lion, a copy of a despatch with the accompanying
' documents, received at the Department of State,
from the Envof . Extraordinatyand Minister Pleni
potentiary of the United States, at Paris, giving
Akita information of the overthrow oft& French
monarchy, and the establishment, in its stead of a
Provisional Government, based on republican
principles.
This great event occurred suddenly, and was
accomplished almost without bloodshed. The
world has seldom witnessed a more Interesting and
sublime spectacle, than the peaceful rising of the
French people, resolved to secure for themselves
enlarged liberty, and to assert in the majesty of
their strength, the great truth that, in this enlight
ened age, man is capable of governing himself
The prompt recognition of the new government,
by the Representative of the United States, at the
French Court, meets my full and unqualified ar

Wives of other conntrie hll was the first to recog
nize, so far as it was in his power, the free govern
ment established by the French people.
The policy of the United States has ever been
that of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of
other countries—leaving to each to establish the
form of government of its own choice. While this
wise policy will be mantained towards France,
now suddenly transferred from a monarchy into •
republic, all our sympathies are naturally enlisted
en the side of a great people. who, imitating our
example, have resolved to be free. That such
sympathy should exist on the part of the people of
the United States with the friends of free govern
ment in every part of the world, and especially in
France. is not remarkable. We can never forget
that France was our early friend in' our eventful
revolution. and generously aided us in shaking off
a foreign yoke, and becoming a free and indepen
dent people.
We have enjoyed the blessings of our system of
well-regulated self-government for near three
fourths of a century, and can properly appreciate
its value. Our ardent and sincere congratulations
are extended to the patriotic people of France, up
on their noble, and thus far successful efforts to
found for their future government, liberal institu
tions, similar twour own.
It is not doubted thut, under the benign influ
ence of free institutions, the enlightened statesmen
of Republican France will find it to be for her true
intermit and permanent glory to cultivate with the
United tttatcs thelnost liberal prinriples of inter
national intercourse and commercial reciptheity,
whereby the happiness and prosperity of both na
tions will be promoted. J A MEt9 K. POLK.
Washington, 3d April, 18 IS.
In the Senate the Message mid documents were
referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations,
when Mr Allen moved to take up the Resolutions
of sympathy for France, previously offered by him.
The motion. after some dirctusion between Messrs.
Allen, Crittenden, Baghy, Calhoun, Dickenson,
Butler, and Benton was lost—ayes 21, nays 22.
In the House Mr. Cummins offered a' series of
Resolutions tendering the wannestotycapathies of
this &weary to the people of France and Italy in
their struggles for reform. To the fourth Resolu
tion of which, Mr. Ashmun moved to add the
words :
"And we especially see an encouraging earnest
of their success in the decree which pledges the
new government of Franca to early measures for
the inimedfate emancipation of all siavoi in their
colonies"
Mr. Schenk proposed to modify this amendment
by adding thereto—"recognizing, as we do, that
great cardinal republican principle, that there
should be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
except for crimes."
Mr. Ashmun accepted the modification, and an
animated debate ensued between Means. Hilliard,
M'Clernana, Haskell, C.. 1. Ingersoll, .1. R. Inger
soll, Cummins, •Oidilings, Bayley, and Doer, in
the midst of which the House adjourned.

11J Pending the consideration of the General
Appropriation Bill, in the Senate of this Suite, on
Thursday last, a spicy debate-was sprung upon
the section allowing the urinal salary of 's3oo to
the Adjutant General of the State—the office tr
ills at present filled by the notorious Gio. W.
Boviriran, of the Bedford Gazette. The worthy
Adjutant,,lst his Annual Report to the Governor,
took occasion to indulge in the usual Locofireo

the country," and "friendaillifexico," and the
Senate very properly refused to print the Report.

When these important functions become obstruct

is then that the blood becomes impure, because
the secretive organs of the liver, whose office it
is to separate the worn-out principle of this vital
fluid are no longer fit for t h eir office, and the
wasted part of the blood continues therefore in
its circulation and becomes diffused throughout
the whole system. Thus filled with infectious
humours the body is made liable to sickness. If.
by chance, it is exposed to a sudden change in the
weather, a bad cold or consumption would be the
result—it in the vicinity of contagious disorders,
it would imbibe the infection.
Dr. Halsey's Gold and Silver Pills, although
pleasant to take and innocent in operation, is the
most excellent medicine in the world, to remove
the bile and viscid matter (torn the system, and
to restore the liver. stomach and bowels, to the
performance nt their proper functions, thereby
rendering the blood pure, and divesting the eye

BRANDRETH'S PILLS-THE. REST FAM
ILY MEDICINE
fr.,ADIES should use the Brandreth Pills fre

vere sickness of the stomach. and, Generally speak.
ing, entirely prevent it. The firandreth Pills are
harmless. They increase the powers of life—
they do not depress them. Females will find
them to secure that state of health which every
mother wishes to enjoy. In the costiveness so
often movalent at this interesting period, the Brans
dreth Pills are a safe and effectual remedy.
There is no medicine so safe as this—it is more
easy than castor oil, and is now generally used by
numerous ladies through their confinement. Pr.
Braudreth can refer to many of our first physicians
who recommend his Pills to their patients to the
exciusion of all other purgatives, and the Pills
being composed entirely of Herbs or Vegetable
matter, purify the blood, and carry off the cornipt
humors of the body, in a manner so simple as to
gine every day ease and pleasure.
In order to discriminate between Truth, which
is eternal, and conjecture, which is like a transient
vision,we must borlided by the light of EXPE

X IV 11. B. tic Co., in thus presenting
• themselves to the notice of resi
dents at a distance, are actuated by a desire
of attracting attention to the Hats of their
manufacture, as a means of increasing their
cash sales. The smallness of their pro
fits, owing to the fact that their goods are
much more costly and expensive while
their prices are not higher than the ordi
nary prices of the trade market, makes it
imperative that they dechue the risks in
cidental to a credit business. Were they
to fottriw in 'the "beaten track," aiming
merely at a reduction in prices, a corres
ponding deterioration both in quality and
workmanship ensuing as a matter of course,
there would then be no urgent reason for
adopting terms strictly cash ! Their course
is opposite to this.
Excelsior is the motto which they have
assumed, by it they are enlittiained to ad
vane° still higher ,iu the production of
rich and costly goods. The greet encour
agement they have met with in their busi
ness—the decided preference given to their
Hats, both by the fashionable and fastidious,
as well as by the strict economist, and oth
ere of plainer taste, has confirmed them in
their determination of- producing the very
beat goods in their line of trade, on this
continent.
Wm. H. B. & Co. Would here take oc
casion to say that they are indebted for the
reputation of their home, and for the ce
lebrity of their Hats, to no equivocal deal
ings nor fictitious representations. The
principle, in business has always been to
give to the purchaser a greater proportion
of value for value, than could possibly be
obtained elsewhere at the same prices.—
They have expended vast sums of money
in perfecting their business, in securing the
best talent among workmen, in the erection
and application of machinery, and in hav
ing prepared for their especial use the
richest plushei 'and -trimming". of Paris.
By these mmuts alone they have presented
to the public illerfection in The fabric of
Hats, and, to The trade, models in fashion.
Wm. H. B. & Co. would state that their
prices at retail are standard at 114 and 115.
Their wholesale prices are such as to ena
ble dealers bk. realise a fair profit; and to
carry home to`their customers, if they feel
dispelled; Rats not gotten up expressly
for the country trade, but Hats which ere
justly considered by those familiar With
the manufacture of W. H. B. & Co. as
the tie plus ultra of gentility. taste and ex
quisite workmanship, the sane identically
with those supplied to gentlemen at their
establisumente in New York, Philadelphia
and Boston. , ' - •
The regular periods of: issuing their
Spring and Fall Fashions are the first Sat
urday in March toul the last Saturday in
August. “The Summer Hat" will be pre
sented in early season. Gentlemen resi
ding at a distance can be supplied with the
celebrated Ilins of W. 11. 11. & Co. by
sending, per mail, the length and breadth,
in laths, of the lints worn by them.
A schedule of Prices and Qualities, at
wholesale, will Ito transmitted, when re
quested, aa will also a Circular descriptive
of Fashions at the proper periods.

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS AND NITA-.
TIONB.—The unparalleled and astonishing
efficacv of. DR. WISTAR'S BALSAM
OF WILD CHERRY. in all the diseas
es for which it is recommended, .curing
limey eases after the skill of the best phys
icians was unavailing, has elkcted a large
and increasing demand for it. This feet
has caused many unprincipled counterfeit
ers and imitators to palm off spurious mix
tures, of similar name and appearance, for
the genuine Balsam. some are called
"Syrup of Wild Cherry," "Balsam of
Spikenard." " Wild Cherry Comfrev,"
&c. Another "IVester's Balsam of Wild
Cherry," mispelling the name, and forging
certificates to resemble those of the true
Balsam. "Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry," is the only genuine. The rest
merely imitate the name of the original,
while they possess none of its virtues.
Look well to the Marks of the Genuine.
The genuine Balsam is put up in bottles,
with the words "Dr. Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry, Philad.." blown in the glass
each bottle bearing a label on the front with
the signature of WISTAR, M. 0.
This will he enveloped hereafter with a
new wrapper ; copyright secured, 1844 ;
in which will always appear the written
signature of -I BUTTS.
