Be that as Stine', we know that six sults have been entered before Alderman Reline, of tbe Flour& Ward, in four of which man judgment bius been given, and two remain to be beard. The ..parties sued ane—Jacab Eckert, Man chester; John Rartulan, Manchester Andrew Renick, &eerie totinekipy John' Benoit, Re serve township, Joseph 'Weaver, Fourth Ward, and George Smith, Fourth Ward. The above suits were broUght under the act of '2611 February, 1855; which prescribes a penalty of fifty , dollare' against selling - liquor .on Sunday—one-half of which, shall go. to.th e guardians of the poor of the district in which, the offense il committed, and the other half to the prosecutor.' :The same sot, however, prb= rides that no 'art of the Mils shall go to the prosecuting witness,: and In cue - the proSeati tar shall be 'a'''sitriess in the suit k tiinthe whole of - the fine anal be-aid to of the proper. dlitstet.' was doubtless inserted for • *err — l6l4prirAe —to keep nnierapnlOns men front inetatilig money into their. owe packets, either from motives of gain, or from maliceagainst tavern keepers. • It would seem that, in the above cases, this Wise provision of the legislature has ' been evaded by a mutual agreement between the parties who have commenced this crusade against the beer sellers, and their caroluot has terminated in their being prosecuted for con spiracy. In four of the six cairn alluded to, S. Testa appears as prosecutor, while John (lab hii invariably =Sodas witness anothed pockets portion of the tines. In the r two oases, John Gabby prosecutes, while Teets furnishes the testimony and draws the cash. To test the matter, one of the tavern keepers, Joseph Weaver, entered suit for conepiraey against Teets and Gabby, who were arrested, and had a hearing this morning befordMayor Drum. Messrs. Weaver and Smith wen!, both exam ined as witnesses, and their testimony went to show that Teets, in company with one or two others, came to their respective taverns on Sunday, got liquor, and subsequently entered suit. ' Gabby did not appear with the party to but was sworn as the prosecuting wit ness in each case. Smith - testified that his bar war closed • when Teets and two others_ called upon him; and when he refused to sell them anything they begged , for a cigar. fie still refused, and they went away and came back a second time before he let them in. .They then took one drink each and left. After snit had been entered Gabby called at Smith's house and offered to settle his ease and Weav er's for $25--that is, $12,50 for each ease— upon the , payment -of which suit would be withdrawn. They agreed to settle for that amount, and also to pay $25 each to the over seers of the poor, and the costs at the Alder man's office, upon Gabby signing as agree ment not to prosecute the eases further. Smith paid $25 to one of the overseers of the poor, and took the receipt to Alderman }feline. lie paid Gabby $l5, and also the docket Casts. Weaver, thinking that he was being im posed upon, subsequently backed out and re fused to pay anything. Ile was then re-' roiled to give bail to. answer for misde meanor, under the . criminal provision of the, same act, which, upon conviction for saltine liquor on Sunday, subjects the offender to a' fine of not less than-ten nor more than one hundred dollars, andan imprisonment of not lest than' ten nor more thin sixty days, in the discretion of the Court. Upon this phase of the prosecution, Weaver has not yet bad' a hearing. Messrs. Teets and Gabby were represented' by Mr. Woods, while Mr. Moffett appeared. for the prosecution. Defendants' cognate& took the ground that there was no consifiltey—no illegal act committed, and no-legal act con summated in in illegal manner. The ele- Mentz of a conspiracy were wanting, and he asked for the discharge of the accused. Mr. Moffett argued briefly that the conspiracy clearly . appeared from the acts of the defend ants. How could Gabby know of the viola tion of the Sunday liquor law in Weaver's tavern, unless Teets told him? Gabby was not there.-,at all. And why did Teets and . Gabby enter into this arrangement, if it was not for the purriose - of pocketing the fines. It was a clear case to his mind, and asked that theparties be held to bail for triaL Mayor Drum decided that, in his jUdgment, the case should go before the Court, and de manded bail in the sum of 1400, which was entered by each of the defendants. It is proper here to state that a batch of these prosecutions was laid before Mayor Drum, someday' ago, but not liking the aspect of the cases, and regarding the motives of the prosecutors. as extremely 'questionable, he de clined to have anything to do with them. Subsequent fasts have demonstrated the soundness of his judgment, as the whole affair seems to be, at best, a "dirty piece of busi nese." Other parties will likely be arrested to answer a charge of conspiracy, and all the facts will doubtless be fully ventilated, A sad case of attempted suicide occurred on Monday night, at Sterling's boarding house, Second street, near Wood.

Let ns now s ass from disease of the throat to the Consideration of bronchitis. The term bronchitis has hitherto been com monly applied to the diseases of the throat,' ' and medical writers have toooften confirmed i this popular error. - The rea er will -bear in mind that the bronchial tubes are not in the throat, but in 'the lungs. Wen I speak o f bronchitis therefore I speak of a disease of the k lungs, and not of the throat. The vital im portance of this distinction will be seen when wo come to discuss its proper treatment. Bronchitis, then, is a disease of the lining or mucous membrane of thb bronchial tubes ramifying the substance of the lungs. This lining or membrane is very sensitive to- every external or foreign influence, and is hence lia ble to become irritated by sudden changes of weather, by impure air, by the fine particles of matter which fill the atmosphere of work shops, or float upon the wind in dusty streets, by the hundred irritating causes which meet us in almost every Place. The irritation, from whatever cause, leads to inflammation of the membrane, deranges - its healthy action, changes the character of the secretions and sets up a train of symptoms to which we apply the name, bronchitis. . In chronic bronchitis there is sometimes a slight fever towards evening. The patient experiences a shortness of breath on exercis ing and has a Blight but continued of oppression in the chest. The cough or ex pectoration may diminish or entirely disap pear during the summer, bu.. manifest them selves again on the return of winter, when the expectoration becomes increased and often yellow. Hectic fever may then eupervene, with night sweats and rapid wasting of the flesh and strength, and the patient dies with all the symptoms of pulmonary consumption. .It is very collusion to meet this disease - in a milder form, in pelsons who 'Teak' of it' as a uwititer cough." It comes on each winter, and as regularly subsides during summer, but in every suocessing recurrence it manifests it-' self in greater severity; and the recoveryS in the following' summer is not, so complete. This form of bronchitis, If neglected, will as -surely destroy life fend, treated in the usual .manner, it is incur ab le) as consumption itself. The mucous meinifine sooneror later becomes' altered in structure,` and pours forth a matter which has all the qualities ef pus. - Hectic fever supervenes and the disease tends slowly but Surely to a fatal termination. Another form of Bronchitis is peculiar to middle life and old age. It is distinguished by the quantity and character of the matter expectorated. Banally thirty are two fits of coughing in the day--one on awaking from sleep in the morning, and' the other to the evening. There is considerable difficulty iu breathing while paroxysms of coughing.laat ; but-this passes off as -- soon-as the Itings'are ' freed from the vaacid secretion. The patient is feeble; he may, however, live and attend to his duties for 1 years. But the °ono-. tenanee gradually assumes a pale bluish tint, the body wastes, the blood becomes thin, and death, ensues, apparently from the constant drain hept up by the discharge from the lungs. Some patients die from exhaustion in five or six months; but we have known others to survive for as many years. There is still another form of this disease, called "dry bronchitis." The essential char acter of city bronchitis consists of chronic in flammation, attended by a thickening of the Mucous membrane, by which the air tubes are diminished in size, and also in the secre tion of a dense, glutinous kind of matter, of a greenish or blue-white color, 'by which they are still further obstruct ed. The smaller bronchial tubes are of ten entirely closed, and 'occasionally a tube of very considerable size becomes sealed up by this matter. This affection is so-com mon in this climate that in some degree it is probable two out of arm") , three stiffer from it. "in the moat favored parts of France" says Leanne°, "fully one-half of those arrived at adult age will be found, upon careful examin ation, to present evidence of a thickening .of some portion of the mucous membrane of the . . lungs. The symptoms of 'dry bronchitis are not marked by severity. It is the most insidious of pulmonary complaints. The subject of it is conscious of being short-breathed, when ascending an elevation or attempting to run. When a large portion of the lunge is Involved, a sense of oppression is referred to the oppo site side of the chest to that on which the dis ease is situated, or to a remote part :of the same side, or even to. the stomach; - _ - After a time, difficulty of breathing, comes on, and continues for several days ; . — the Patin . * cam plaiiiing of tightness in the chest, 'which is 'relieved by cough and expectoration. of ,o tough, jelly-like substance. The_ cough by wuich' this matter is raised is a mere rasping effort to clear the throat, and may probably not occur more than once or twice daily,. and" almost unconsciously to patients themselves, On inquiring if • they have a cough they will, almost without exception, answer." No I" Nel l during your conversation , . they will; per il*, hack, and raise a little-jelly -like mucus ba' a dozen times. At Intervals, the Cough. Is more severe and comes =on' in • paroxysms when it is too commonly regarded im siniply , " nervous."

There is flemetkingsosratLtkinviir being *a llured by the:family physician. that- there in "no danger of consumption," that " this' Cutlet is a mere trifle, and will speedily pass away, if only left to itself," that it is not sur prising the flattered patient entirely" oierlooks the important fact that no careful examina tion of the Innis hal been Made, to determine the health or disease of this organ; that this gratifying opinion, therefore, I. 'founded on nothing and, reduced to its intrinsic merits, is simnly tampering with human life. .. Most "coughs of long -standing," unat tended by free expeetorationotie caused either by this condition of the bronchial tubes, or by incipient tubercles in the hinge. The "ne.'. sleeted Gold," which se often' proves the her ald of consumption, is but another variety of the disease.

Thus we say, "I inhale a medicine"— we would say, "1 take a medicine—the differ ence being simply that the one is inhaled or breathed, while the other is swallowed." I am thus explicit in order to 'show that all Medicines inhaled Into - the lungs are not' alike, any morethan all medicines taken into the stomach—and hence that the benefits to be-derived from inhalations must de-' pend upon the experience :and skill of tho' physician who prescribes : them. j..aliciuld have deemed this explanation. unnecessary, but for the fact that many who write me re garding the treatment, appear to have got the erroneous idea that"lnhalation,"' instead of being a mode of practice, or administration of remedies, is sons specific remedy, alike im practicable to the most opposite fonnSlof pul manary disease. To make it such, ili,to dis grace it to the base level of quackery:, It can never be honestly employed without., a fall knowledge of all the, symptoms and pshuliar hies of bath case, and the adopthin of the remedies accordingly. •, The first object of treatment is to cleanse the air tubes of the lunge, by expectorant in halatienthe irritation on which the mecca , don depends to soothe and heal the inflamed I membrane. The inhaler, which is made of glees and' holds about a pint of fluid, is half filled with cold, warm, or hot water, accOrd ing to the.nature of the case. The medicines prescribed for a dose are then added,. and the patient directed to -inhale gently, betdieply, into this lungs, tieing careful to eipaiii the chest well; without straining or violence, 'f lie fluid, being medicated, thoroughly •impreg nates the air with its properties. Beth Übe laden is continued for five, ten, o' fifteen minute', as may be necessary, and taken three times a' day, before - meals, or twice a diY, tor rising and retiring. In this manner every effect that mate; produced by medicine le ob tained in the lungs, and with:a degree - of cer tainty unequalled,. By simply vozjin&' : tho. te ediettuss'pukinfo'thwthdttrtheroWrltNen:: dered eoothing, expectorant or healing, at pleasure. When faithfully and properly car ried out, this treatment will rarely disappoint the patient of a speedy and radical cure. Your obedient servant, Roszurtiorrsa, M. D.

A great panic prevailed. A refugee from Richmond says there are bat teries at four placei on the James river, none of .which could stand the fore of our gunboats, hence the Richmond papers urge the defense of the river on a larger scale. The 'Norfolk Day Book says that the Union troops attacked Fort Macon on Saturday, and bad been fighting two days. The Union troops hero have built two bat teries on the beach, and have planted mortars on the beach. Eleven large ships are outside. Col. White sent out a detaotiment and found three hundred Yankee*, and was compelled, to retreat to the fort, aftei toeing , fifteen men. Rebel papers say fire thousand Union men have left Tennessee to join the Northern army within a short time. It is said that the French Minister visited Richmond to urge the rebels to surrender, as their case is hopeless. ST. Louts, April 22.—Prom a_ gentleman who left Memphis a few days after the battle of Pittsburgh, we learn that, the rebels, put., ting both day/ of the battle together, still claim thevictory. • Their claim rests on the supposition that more were killed, wounded and taken prisOners on the Federal side than the other.

Prentiss was in excellent. temper, owned to defeat on Sunday, but said the rebels were The prisoners were being Sent to Richmond. One. informant was In Huntsville when Mitchell marched there .with his division. The securing Of that place -was a complete surprise, and the occupation of the railroad between Decatur and Stevenson was regarded as the hardest blow the rebels yet received. The rebels are preparing to make a des perate stand at Corinth, and fresh troops were eonstantly arriving at Memphis when ho left. Business, in Memphis, is almost entirely stag nated, and the-people generally seem to be- . Here that they are on the eve of events which will speedily decide the war. Rev. D.

' , t BY TELEGRAPH Wazexas, The power of Congress under the constitution to authorize the confiscation of the property of persons engaged in armed-re bellion against the government of the United States, or aiding in said rebellion, is doubt ful, and .the power of the Executive to act in the premises is ample ; therefore, be it' Resolved, That the President of the United States, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, should make use of all means not inconsistent with the laws of war which, in his judgment, may be deemed necessary to crush the rebellion, including the seizure and final disposition of all the property and personal effects of those engaged in armed rebellion against the gov ernment of the United States, or aiding in such rebellion. ' including sieves,. and that, in the opinion of Congress, decided measures on the part of the Executive have_ already become necessary.

He read six , tracts from the bill, ehowing who were affected by Its provisions, and assumed that the se.: ceded States, with 3,500,000 ' slaves; and a l ,loyal population no larger proportionately than the disloyal population of- the loyal States, would have a property of Ave thousand millions dollars subject to confiscation, to take which would be the most inhuman and unjust. of measures.

Housx.—Tfie Rouse was engaged for some time in securing a quorum. Mr. McPherson, of Pa., presented air peti tions In favor of the establishment of ai)ro fessorship of German in the West Point Mili tary AcadeSAY, on the ground of the value of the sandy ass discipline , its practical utility, in view of the number of Germans in thelarmy, and the richness of Gorman literature in the military service. One of these petitions is signed by most of the distinguished literary gentlemen in Now York, including President Charles King, Chancellor Ferris, Bishop Pot ter, Gardner Spring, Wm. Adams, F noels Vinton, S. Higbee, and many others.. The House resumed consideration of the fifteen or sixteen bills heretofore adversely re ported--one from the Committee: on the Jud iciary, on the subject of the confiscation of reb el property. The pending motion lay whole on the table, negatived, by 39 against 60. The first bill . in the 'series was taken up, to forfeit the property and slaves of persons who shall engage In, or aid and abet armed rebel lion against the United States. Jilt:Bingham had submitted an amendment in the nature of a substitute for the bitter. Mr. Porter proposed Senator. Sherman's bill, which she explainettby saying it did not design to confiscate the property of slaves of all rebels, but of those holding official posi tions in the army, navy, and civil life. In other words, making a quarrel between the .people and their leaders, the former assured of our protection, could signify their willing ness to. show allegiance to the Government. This bill would thus do more than any meas ure to suppress the rebellion. Mr. Bighorn explained his substitute, pro viding for the capture and condemnation' of the enemy's property, and to indemnify the United States for expenses incurred in the suppression of the rebellion. The House heretofore had,-by large majority, recorded their votes in favor of the principle. Mr. Walton, of VL, spoke in favor of Sena tor Collamer's bill, which he would offer should, the pending substitute be rejected. Mr. Wright argued that there ought to be some line of discrimination between the dif ferent classes participating in the rebellion; • there ought to be a law confiscating the prop arty of the leaders, such inert as Davis, Toombs, Slidell, Cobb, Heitt, and Mason, are not only deserving of bonds, but death or exile, if arrested; they ought to - suffer' - the penalty of the law for treason. It the con fiscation act was applied to all in rebellion, without distinction,it would fail ` of its object and laborite a dead etter. Mr. Biddle, of Pa., said that after the speech of Mr. Thomas, of Mass., a few days ago, and a speech from an eminent Senator, he elt that nothing could be akled to these great argumente which give the constitutional limits of our power in the premises upon the' prinelples therein set forth. He should vote against all of the bills which had been read to the Rome.
