PITTSBURGH, MONDAY JULY 23, 1845
QT The detente in the British House of Commons
on the 17th, 19th, and 20th instant, on the New Zea
land question, are a most instructive and impressive
=•ettpesition of British.law and practice, and vindica
.aion of the American, in regard to the aborigines of
the Western hemisphere. But, in another point of
view, is it worthy of more than a.passing notibe.. - The
suggestions of Mr Buller, were received by the House
of Commons, with the most unequivocal marks of ap
probation, showing that upon the subjects remarked
upon by him there was almost entire unanimity of sen
timent. He says, a British. colony .in New Zealand
would be the natural master of the ocean, the in
evitable arbiter of all its complicated relations and
important interests. Its position would command
ike Pacific, and its vast forest, materials for the
greatest navy in the world—there you might coy.

seat of your dominion, you (England) might give
laws and manners to the nezc world. Let those who
seem so unwilling to believe that England is grasping
In her policy, give Mr Bullet's remarks careful re.
'faction. "The entire command of the Pacific," is
now her darling object—and we now find her most
sagacious and prudent statesmen, giving the subject
The necessary consideration. They seem resolved to
'establish what is to be called the " Britan of the
SeustAtera Hemisphere." They expect by the propos
ed means, to monopolize the trade of China, Chili,
Peru, the Phillippian Islands, &c. and as is said
vauntingly, "give laws and manners to the new
world."
. To enable them with ease to perfect the project and
effectually and forever to cripple the trade of the United
States with many important points, the 'Gazette' would
compromise and give them what Mr Buller calls
"oar (England's) valuable territory of Oregon."
Their right to New Zealand, we believe, is not
questioned, and we do not refer to the subject, be
cause doubt exist,, but merely to remark upon
the use they contemplate making cf the supposed
advantages to be gained by the position in question.
Nothing short of entire control "ill satisfy them.—
' They must be "irresistible arbiters" of all complica
ted relations and "important interests,"—and "give
laws and manners" to all around them, and be "the
master of the Ocean."
Yes, neighbor, of the Gazette, your yielding poli
cy, at this time, would be a great favor to "Old
Mother England." as you are pleased to call her:-
her statesmen are watching the Oregon question with
• most intense interest—if what they demand is con_
ceded, or any portion of ir, they will be entirely
ready far the consummation of the stupendous pro
' ject of Mr Butler.
"Considerations of the greatest moment do indeed
Rive great political importance to the pessession of
New Zealand. Our trade with the Pacific is daily in
creasing in extent. Our relations with other powers
in that ocean are getting to he very delicate. France
has possession of the Friendly Islands and the Mar
quesas. The United States have virtual pc session of
the Sandwich Islands. The American coast of this
great ocean presents the important dominion of Chili,
Tern, Mexico. with the possible—the very probable—
cornranniration across the Isthmus of Darien, and our
valuable territory of the Oregon. On the Asiatic side,
you have the far greater commerce of China, the Phil
lipine Islands, and the Indian Archipelgo, A British
colony in New Zealand would be the natural masterof
this ocean, the irresistible arbiter of all it+ complica
ted relations and important interests. Its positiln
would command the Pacific; its numerous harbors
would supply shelter, its vast forest materials. for the
greatest navy in the world, Yuu might make it, in
truth, the Britain of the southern hemisphere: there
you might concentrate the trade of the Pacific; and
from that new - seat of your dominion, you might give
laws and manners to a now world, holding subject
races, and imposing your a ill on the strong.—
[Cheers. ]"
While the angle• Saxon race in nor Union are ince+s
sandy accused and reviled in the British journals for
,extending their settlements, Mr Buller said:
"It is preposterous to expect that the existence of
such a population on portions of the soil of a vast
country ought to exclude the rest of mankind from
turning the unoccupied soil to account. God gave t he
earth to man to use—not to cornettisr races to pre
vent all other men from using. [Hear.] He plan
ted the principle of increase in us; lie limited our exis
tence to no particular soil or climate, but gave us the
.power of ranging over the wide earth. I apply to the
-savage no principle which I should not apply to the
tnost civilized people of the world. lf, by any unim
ogible calamity, the population of France, for instance,
were reduced from the 35,000,000, which it now
maintains, to 200,000 which isahout the proportion of
the population of New Zealand; and if these:2oo,ooo
were almost limited to Bt itanny and Normandy, and
cultivate, as the New Zelanders do, CO more than one
acre in a thousand, do you think we should allow this
handful of men to devote that fine country in perpet
ual barrenness? [Cheers."]
The American occupants of Texas, Oregon, and
California are stigmatized as marauders, spoilers, and
. brigands; yet Mr Buller was heard with universal ap.
_probation, in the House of Commons, in these senti-

I have been reading lately a book by Mr Jerning
ham Wakefield, one of the first settlers in Cook's
_..,Straits, giving a plain, unpretending, and therefore
all the more interesting, narrative of the first event s or
these settlements. I know nothing more affecting
than the accounts which he gives of the improvements .
*Web - he saw, whenever, after an absenc e of a few
months, he visited Wellington, or New Plymouth, or
Nelson. Incidents of the prettiest character, and eve
ry-day familiarity in eur lives, are the great epochs
It his chronicle of a new society. Now he describes
to yen the landing of a body of emigrants, their first
rude shifts, their cheerful and unselfish community in
labor; then he describes the same spot with log-houses
and incipient gardens; and then with pride he con
. templates brick dwellings, gardens, end the dowers,
fruits, vegetables, and harvests of England. Every
step , in the progress is duly chronicled. It would be
impossible for me, by collecting these images togeth
er, to raise in your minds that impression which the
book, without laboring to do so, creates by these inci
dent touches. It is em impression of great industry,
great comfort; above all, of rapid, steady, secure pro
gress. Yost feel that here, at least, all the first dis
comforts and petits of a colony are gut over. There
is no appearrusca of external hostility. The savages
are turned into laborers and domestic servants, attach
ed to the various families of the unionist's, accustom
ing themselves to European habiu and Eon opean com
forts. it seems certain that the colony will very soon
be independent of external supplies of food;nay, that
before long it will be able to purchase luxuries by ex
ports of food, and wool, and oil, and flax, and timber.
All that these people needed or asked was to continue
unmolested in their honest toil. I think a wise ruler
could have had no mixture of feeling in contemplating
such a scene. He must have seen with pleasure the
destitute, enabled by honest industry to raise the food
which he wanted, and the untouched forest made sub
servient to the good of man. He would have said,
'Go on,'aiid God's blessing on your labors, and count
on me for being eveiy ready and willing to aid and en
courage you, and turn out of your path any harm that
evil mischance may bring across it."
ORROON—THE G sZETTE—The Gazette of Friday'
calls in questhtn the accuracy of our statement of
Thursday, that the views of President POLK, as expres
sed in his Inaugural was in harmony with the well
matured sentiments of the nation, and declares it ques
tionable whether "nine persons out of ten understand
the merits of the controversy." If nine out of ten
understand its met its, we think our assertion is fully
sustained—we will, however, give some proof that it
is the matured sentiment of the nation. Dr Duncan's
bill establishing the territorial government of Otegon,
passed the House of Representatives of the United
States at the last session, yeas 140, nays 59. This
bill, it will be remembered fixed the 541 h degree of
north latitude as the line. The House of Representa
tives of New Hampshire passed resolutions at their
recent session, affirming our right to Oregon to the
54th degree, by a vote of 120 to 5. If necessary, we
could fill a column, reciting conclusive evidence that
the declarations of the President in his Inaugural. are
as we affirmed, in harmony with public opinion, and
that the sentiment of the nation in reference to the
question, is "well matured"—fixed and unalterable as
"the laws of the Medes and Persians!"
Our declaration that Great Britain dart not go to
war with the United States,' has evidently unsettled
the nerves of tho editor. Now, we made the declar
ation, and assigned what we regarded as good reasons
for our honest faith in its correctness. and we take
this occasion to reiterate it without qualification.—
England dare not go to war with the United States;
she will abandon her idle claim to Oregon, rather
than attempt to enforce it by n war.
The "Gazette's" reference to Texas is without
force. The first proposition fur annexation came from
the regularly constituted authorities of Texas—our
Government refused to grant her request—she made
a second proposition, before the United States could
be induced to consider the question. ?low, then• can
it be said, that this Government in the matter of the
annexation of Texas, has manifested n •' grasping" dig
position? Again, look at the annexation vote in the
Congress of Texas; it was unonimorra—proving clear
ly the anxiety of the people of Texas to be united
with us, and we cAnnot believe, the "Gazette" will
call in question, their tight to ect definitively in the
matter. How is it with Oregon? Great Br itain claims,
but do we recognize her right? Certainly nor. Tr xas
solicited annexation to the United States—but we say
Great Britain shall have no control over Oregon.
THE STEAM FRIGATE.—The Gazette's article of
Saturday, w e regret to say, is well calculated to do
mischief. Without explanation it will give the im
prassion abroad, that there is a great want of energy,
in those having charge of the construction of the Iron
Steam Frigate, now on the stocks at this place, and
that th e
. Department at Washington city, is culpably
inligent. We are informed that the work has pro
gressed as rapidly, as it could, under the circumstan
ces. We learn also that the plan of the Frigate i s
investigated by the proper Department with unusual
care, and that there has been already several impor
tant improvements made upon the original plan. For
each pieceof it an exact drawing is prepared at the
Navy Department, Washington city. and the work, we
are assured, has kept pace with the drawings, and
that no blame can justly attach either to the depart
ment or Mr Tomlinson.
THE AUGUST INTEREST.—We are gratified, says
the Harrisburg Argus, in being able to announce to our
readers, that the August interest on the State debt of
Pennsylvania will be promptly paid. Great credit is
due to Col Szcovrnex, the State Treasurer, for his en
ergy,zeal, and perseverence, in endeavoring to sus•
tain the credit and faith of the Commonwealth. It
was anticipated that this instalment of interest would
be most difficult to meet, as the new tax might not be
collected and paid into the Treasury. But thanks to
the patriotism of the people, they have come forward
with a noble promptitude in a sufficient number of
counties, to enable the WHOLE INTEREST to be
paid. We feel proud of own county of Dauphin,
whose Commissoners have paid $20,000. Berks, hon
est old Berks, has paid r:o.er $5O .000. Good old
Montgomery has paid her tax. Carbon and Lehigh
have paid theirs. Adams, Erie, Beaver, Fayette,
Greene and Westmoreland, and we believe some oth
era have nobly and patriotically paid their whole tax.
We are now out of the woods. We can pay again in
February, and from thence onward. Pennsylvania
was always honest—she never repudiated—and her
people were always willing to pay any just tax to sus
tain the faith and credit of the State. If at any time
there was any faltering, it was not among the tax pay
ere. Cringing and faithless legislators may have shrunk
from their duty, and thereby brought momentary dis
honor upon the State, but the patriotic people have
shown that they have ever been willing and able to
meet any emergency when it was demanded to sustain
the honor of the Commonwealth.
ANOTHER EULOGIUM.-It gives us great pleasure,
says the AVashington Union of Friday. to lay before
our readers the eulogium in honor of General Jackson,
which was delivered at Pittsburgh on the 17th instant
by Wilson McCandless. it is worthy of the subject,
and worthy of the orator himself who fills a consider
ble space in the eyes of the orator himself who fills a
considerable space in the eyes of the people of Penn-
sylvania. Mr McCandless was the president of the
college of electors, who east their vote fo. Mr Polk ,
on the 4th of December. "
DESTRUCT/YE. TORNADO.. -A terrific storm passed
over New York on Tuesday morning last, accompa
nied by excessive and rapid discharges, of the electric
fluid, with deafening peals of thunder. Considerable
damage has been done in the city and suburbs, and
we fear the crops in the vicinity have suffered. A
number of houses in the course of construction were
very seriously damaged.
A ship at the foot of Warren street was struck by
lightning. Damage slight.
The vessels at quarantine dragged their anchors.
Trees were torn up on Stated Island, Brooklynbeights,
&u. The lightning struck several places in the city ,
without serious consequences.
In Williamsburg and Brooklyn, it was equally se
vere, much damage being done in both places.
"KINDER SO, ♦ND KINDER Not 150. " —The Boston
Poet says: "We are opposed to punishment by death,
but are in favor of banging incendiaries very soon after
they are caught."
THEBUI4ST DISTRICT,NI—SeveraI hund:reckwem
says the Sett, were at work amongst the bullies em
bers—in some cases removing the rubbish with'a view
to the early rebuilding of the atom and warehouses.
This affords an additional proof to the many before
existing of the recuperative power of the New Yorkers,
so fur as energy and enterprise are concerned. The
ruins of the burnt building. are still blazing when con
tracts are completed and the work commenced for re
storing the premises destroyed.
157'We learn, says the N. Y. News of the 23d that
there were sixteen or twenty Salamander Safes in the
great fire of the 19th, all of which, so far as heard frum
have preserved the books and papers that were within
them, in legible condition. We are also gratified to
know that the safe of Mr. Bloodgood was removed
after being fourteen hours in the burning ruins; that of
Richards & Cronkite, 54 Exchange Place, was recove-
ered after fifty two hours in the fiery ordeal—in both
instances the contents were in good older. They
were sold by A. S. Marvin, 138 i Water street, and are
denominated Rich's Improved Salamander Safes. Of
all the various Safes before the public, it seems that
none but the Sal vmanders have stood the fearful
Messrs. Crocker & Warren have recovered all their
valuable books and papers from a Safe sold by Silas
C. Herring, 139 Water street, after withstanding an
almost unparallelled exposure of sixty-two hours!—
Theit books will not need transcribing. Our readers
are probably aware that from that warehouse came the
great explosion. Messrs. Schrago, Koop & Co. 43
Broad street, ar likewise similarly fortunate, using a
safe of the same construction. But the most astonish
ing case of all, is that of Chontean, Jr. & Co. of the
American Fur Company, 41 Broaway. Their safe
was one of Wilder's Salamanders, and could not be
removed until yesterday; having been, as it were, in a
"fiery furnace" for three and a half days ! Yet not
an entry was defaced. We have one of this construc
tion in use in this office, and should not feel secure
without it.
THE RUINS OF THE FIRE
On going over the scene of the late c.onflgration,
the extent of the disaster is seen to he greater than
any one supposed. The ruin is not any where par
tied, the intensity of the heat was so great, that the
flames licked up whatever they touched, within the
limits indicated in our account of Saturday. The pic
ture of desolation which the burnt district presents. is
no less sublimely impressive than distressing. The
ruins of the Waved} House, the Adelphi, the mas
sive and lofty Granite residence on the west side of
Broadway, and the shattered and leaning walls and
chimneys, which shoot up from the piles of fragments
and rubbish that cover the ground for an hundred
acres, are grand monuments of a most terrific ca
lamity.
The number of buildings destroyed given by us
on Saturday will, we presume, be found to be quite
accurate- The particular statement which we pub
lished, setting down the number at 268, is doubt
less the tree one. In the rough estimate which we
made, of one hundred and ninety, it was intended
to include only the substantial and valuable struc
tures which had probably been prostrated. And in
de-crihing the eastern limits of the fire, Stone street,
east of Broad, was mistaken fur South William,
which accounts for our leaving out of that estimate
the twenty valuable stores destroyed on the west
side of South IVilliam street. Though the full list
of hotels, d vcllints , and warehouses destroyed,
which may be set down as among, the more value-
ble and considerable edifices of their class, will, we
hope, not exceed two hundred, yet including the
smaller tenements, workshops and so forth, the ag
gregate of buildings consumed is hardly less than
about two hundred end seventy-five. On New
Street,
most,
and Stone streets, many, per
haps most, of the buildings destroyed, were of
small value, and can be replaced at a a compara
tively alight expense.
The coolness with which we heard ;nme of the deni•
zens of the grea t Globe Hotel speak of their close prox
imity to the fire, reminds us of an anecdote we have
0i -
Mien heard told. which every one will admit is highly
characteristic of the place and the h❑birs of our peo
ple, w hatever he may think of the truth of it The
story goes that many years ago, Mr Blank was earn
estly engaged at a game of cards with a party of our
well known citizens. when at midnight, or af:er, a cry
' of fire was raised. The distingui-hed gentleman could
not help remarking that the fire must be very near,
though he was surprised at the evident unconcern of
his comrades at the game. He askei the gentleman
next him it' he did not think it was near at hand
Why, said the New Yorker, a veteran salamander,
coolly laying his hand on the wall, 'Why, yes, it is
tolerably near; in fact, from the indicetions of this par
tition, it must be next door; but I believe it is your
cut, Mr. B." "Yes, I believe it is my cot," observed
Mr. B. "and by Jove I shall cut," at the same time
moving somewhat precipitately towards the door.
We were told by the people oldie Globe that though
the fire approached within twenty feet of their rear on
New street, they moved nn furniture, felt no alarm, and
sustained not the slightest damage of any kind. It is
doubtless fortunate that this large structure, with its
thick strong walls, interposed between the fire and its
further progress northwest wardly towards Broadway.
Passing around among the ruins late on Saturday
afternoon. we were met by a poor woman, weeping
and groaning in utter despair. She told us, as bell as
her distress would permit, that she was looking fur
her "seven children." whom she left fur a moment
when the flames first approached her poor dwelling,
in the very midst of the burnt district, and had never
seen them since. Her friends tiled to cheat her up
by hoping that they had been found and taken care of,
but like the Hebrew mother, the afflicted creature was
weeping for her children, and would not be comforted,
because they were not.
The wind must have been very strong from the
East in the earlier part of the continuance of the fire,
for a gentleman states to us that the buildings on the
! west side of Broadway were set on fire by a strong
sheet of flame suddenly blown across the street from
the east side, and igniting the wooden caves-troughs,
cornices, and castings of the tipper windows. And
this at a point where :he street is one hundred and
' twenty feet wide, or more. Indeed another gentle
! man informs us that he saw pieces of straw hats and
fragments of silk still burning, floating in the nir at
Staten Island early in the morning. While.tbe flames
were in their fiercest career about the ikof of the
Waverly House, much opprehension was Mt:that the
scaffolding which still surrounds the spire of Trinity
Chnrch would catch from the sparks. If it had done
so. this beautiful specimen of the Gothic style in ar
e!ritecture must have been so much injured as to re
quire to be taken down.
The great quantity and weight of cotton stored
in certain warehouses, which has more than once
been the cause of much loss of life and property
in this city, by crushing the buildings containing it,
proved on this occasion a means of salvation. The
large warehouse on Broad street, which stopped the
ravages of the fire on the North side, and alone sa
ved the public stores and the millions of property
they contained, was filled to the roof with cotton,
and the moment the walls began to yield from the
effects of the extreme heat below, down came the
whole mass. The bagging and cords of the bales
bursting and snapping like gauze and tape, the cot
ton formed an hermetical covering and barrier
thrr.ugh which neither flame nor heat could pene
trate. The same effect followed the collapsing of
the great store in Stone street, similarly gorged the
fulling of which arrested the progress of destruction
on that side.
The most painful incident which forces itself cm the
attention amidst this acene of destruction, is the la
bors of the men digging emong the ruins in search of
the bodies of firemen er others presumed to be lust
and buried beneath them.—N. Y. Eve. Post

faThe U. S. Steamer Michigan arrived last e
vening with Cornmodote Mortis of the Navy, and
Col Totten of the Army, on board. It is understood
that the l'resident has ordered these gentlemen to
make a detailed report of the harbors on the Lakes,
and of their capabilities for build;ng and equipping
armed vessels and steamers, and of the general defen
ces of the country bordering on the fresh water seas.—
It is highly creditable to Mr Polk, and is an evidence
of his untiring vigilance in thus obtaining information
respecting this section of the union, which has been
too long neglected. Its commercial, marine, and the
numerous cities and villages demanded tlle fostering
care of the general government.
Two more able or efficient officers could not have
been selected in the Navy or Army, and much valuable
information may be expected from their report en the
subject.
It is said they have visited the principal harbors on
lakes Michigan and Huron, and I•roceed from this

"IN A TIGHT PLACE."
The Memphis Inquirer tells a curious story of a
pour black fellow who was foiled in attempt to gain
his liberty. It says—
"On Suuday morning, the Bib inst., a hoz marked
"John Bennet, Louisville, Kv.,•' was deposited on the
wharf—to be shipped by the first boat. It was left by
a free black who was very particular in directing it
to be handled with care. An hour or two after, a gen
tleman happened to approach when a voice from the
interior wee heard to call out "open the door " Much
consternation followed, and the spectators tt ought his
Satanric Majesty had taken temporary lodging in the
box.
After duo deliberation, Mr Shaw, the owner of
the boat, ripped off the top with a butcher's cleaver,
when out jumped a strapping negro nearly dead with
suffocation and steaming like the escape pipe of a
steamboat. lie was greatly exhausted, but was re
vived by the fresh nirand the application of stimulants
when he gave the following account tif his singular in
carceartion
It appears that he belonged to Job Lewis, of Ger
mantown. and has been hired here in town. lie soya
that the scheme which had well nigh cost him his life
was concocted some months ago by John Bennett,
free black, well known to ipany of our citizens. The
intention was to ship him, in the manner attempted, to
Cincinnati, whence he was to be conveyed to Canada.
In the Lux were a quantity of moss, a cumber of
plates, and n few dozen water crackers. Air holes
were bored in the box. They forgot, howevet, to put
in a supply of water. He says he would inevitably
have died in a very short while, if he had not been
extricated, and his condition when taken out of the box
confirms the opinion."
Bennett has sincebeen arrested.

LIGHT IS CORE !
New Sperm, Lard and Pine Oil Lamp Store.
TH E subscribers having opened a store, No 8,
1 St Clair street, (west side) for the sale of Lamps
&c., respectfully invite the attention of the . in
habitants of Pittsburgh, Allegheny and the surround
ing country generally, to their stock of Lamps, before
purchasing elsewhere. Our arrangements with the
manufacture ate such that we can safely say, we are
prepared to light in the most brilliant and economi
cal manner, Steamboats, Hotels, Public Halls,
Churches, Stores. Shops, Parlors, Bridges and
Streets, as well as the more "dad( and benighted c.te
nem or any place where brilliancy, neatness and strict
econemy is desired. Among our means fur letting our
"light shine," may be found the folliming Lamps for
burning Lard, Lard Oil and Sperm Oil, vit:
Hanging Lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 4 branch)
Fo r lighting Stores, Public Halls, Churches, Ho;el 4
and steamboats.
Stand and Centre Table Lamps, (various patterns
and prices,) for Parlors.
Reading and Work Lamps.
Side and Wall Lamps, Glass and Tin Hand Lamps
&c. &c.
The above are mostly Dyntt's Patent Lamps. with
double shelled fountain, and "otherwise an improve
ment upon any lump now in use, which can be per
ceived at once by examination. Also, glass Trimmings
for lamps, such as Globes, Chimneys, Wicks, &c.
LAST, THOUGH NOT LEAST
Dyott.'s Patent Pine Oil Lamp, such as Hanging
lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 6 branch )
_ Stand and Centre Table Lumps, (Glans Fron:a with
or without drops,) Street lamps fur lighting streets
and bridges.
As we cannot da.cribe the various pattern., we cor
dially invite the public to examine them. We affirm
that in brilliancy, cleanliness and economy, no light
now in use will bear comparison with these lamps and
Pine,Oil. They are as safe to use as sperm or Lard
Oil. Although some are.endeavoring to identify this
article with the old camphine and spirit gas, (by the
use of which accidents have occurred,) we assert this
to he anotherand differen article. and that no accidents
have occurred during the extensive use of this article
in Philadelphia fur four years.
These Lamps will produce as much light, with as
much neatness and more brilliancy, and 25 per cent.
less than any other light now in use, not excepting
Gas.
If any one doubts statements we have, or may here
after make, we would say. we have commenced our
business in Pittsburgh, and knowing the merits of the
articles we offer to the public, we are willing to hold
ourselves accountable at all times for our statements,
and are willing to put to test nor Lamp—dollars and
cents,—testing economy—and the publi decided on
the neatness and brilliancy of the light.
IVe have many testituouials horn residents of Phila
delphia and elsewhere, but the following may suffice
fur the present.
This is to certify that I have purchased of M. B.
Dyott a sufficient number of his Patent Pine Oil Lamps
to light the Universalist Church of Philadelphia, and
have used them in said Church about two years. I
have found them to give perfect satisfaction. The
light produced by them is the most brilliant that I
have ever seen. They are so economical that the cost
of the Lamps has been saved several times over; the
lighting up orthe Church not costing half as much as
it did before we procure them.
Respectfully % JOHN DESSALIiT,
Secretary of the above uamed Church.
Philadelphia, July 8, 1845.
The undersigned having used fur two years Dyott's
Patent Pine Oil Lamps in his flute!, the Boliver
House, can recommend them as the most economical
and brilliant light that can be produced by any arti
cle now in use. Before I commenced lighting my
house with the Pine Oil, I was using the Gas; but aF
ter a trial of the above Lamps, I was so much plea
ted with the light, and convinced of their economy,
that I had the Gas removed and horn the Pine (Min
its place. W NI. CA RL F:S,

ALL FGEIEN Y CITY, JUly 12, 1845.
This may cectify that we, the undersigned, having
used for some months, Dyntt's Patent Pine Oil Lamps,
can with the fullest confidence re.;ummend them, as
producing the most brilliant and economical light we
have ever seen, They are simple in their structure,
rind easily taken core of, and we believe themes safe
light as can be produced from any other Lamp, and
much cheaper than any other kind of Oil.

Cancer, Scrofula, &c.
AMPLE experience has proved that no combine-
Hen of medicine has ever been so effectual in
removing the above diseases. as J AYNE'S ALTER
NATIVE, or Life Preservative. It has effected cures
that have been truly astonishing, not only of Cancer
and other diseases of that class, but has removed the
moat stubborn diseases of the Skin, Swelling. Liver
Complaint, Dyspepsia, &c., &C.
This medicine enters into the circulation and eradi
cates diseases wherever located. It purifies the blood
and other fluids of the body, removes obstruction in
the pores of the skin, and reduces enlargements of the
glands or bones. It increases the appetite, removes
headache and drowsiness, invigorates the whole sys
tem, and imparts animation to the diseased and dehil
itated constitution. There is nothing superior to it in
the whole materia medics. It is perfectly safe and
extremely pleasant, and has nothing of the disgusting
nausea accompanying the idea of swallowing medi
cine.
