The barque Mandarin, Capt. Colley, arrived at

which port she left on the 7th inst. The Times

The U. S. squadron sailed on the 4th instant.
The guns of the Castle were all manned and with
matches already lighted to fire in case our vessels
of war showed any disposition to attack it. It was
generally believed that as soon as hostilities com
menced on the frontier Coni. Conner would attack
the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, and it is to be
hoped with more force than he has at his com
mand at present.

When the Mandarin left, the U. S. ship Fal
mouth was the only ship at Vera/Cruz, Great
preparations were making at Vera Cruz for the
defence of the castle, Cannon of a heavy calibre
had been taken from the city to the fort.
The weather was very hot, the thermometer
standing ter in the shade. The vomito, or yel
low fever, had already made its appearance.
Letters from Manzatlan stated the people of
that port were in great dread of being blockaded
by the naval forces of the United States, There,
was a large number of English. French and Amer-1
ican ves:eis in the harbor, of the latter there were
seven, manned with about 3,000 sailors and ma-
'lle Archbishop of Vera Cruz—the lead of the
monarchical party in that department--died about
the beginnig of May.
Capt. May.—This officer, who made the bril
liant charge and captured the battery, taking Gen.
Vega prisoner, at the recent battle near Matamo
ras, is. we learn, from Washington city, and is well
known to many of our citizens. He is one of the
finest horsemen in the army, and always delighted
to exhibit his skill in the management of that
noble animal. Nothing was too difficult for him
to attempt , He has two or three times been se
verely injured by his daring. On one occasion in
this city, for a bet of wine, with some gentleman,
he rode his horse up the steps and into the passage
bf the City Hotel; having accomplished this, it
' was suggested that lie could not ride.down again.
He immediately turned his horse and rode down,
jumping his horse over the iron railing. Those
who know the location can appreciate the difficul
ty of the feat. We also remember the gallant
Captain having-been fined for the breach of an or
dinance in leaping his horse over a cord of wood,
on the pavement in front of the City Hotel, some
time ago; and we would now suggest to the Mayor
the propriety of remitting that fine, instanter:—
Baltimore Sun. •
Caking Ire.—A gentleman who has been in the
ice trade at St. Thomas, relates some funny anec
dotes of the ideas which the "natives" there have
of the 'Boston hard water." Ile once sold a
lump to a gentleman, who sent a colored servant
for it, with directions to have it kept for the dinner
Libre. The servant took it home and inquired of
the cook how it was to be prepared. After consid
erable discussion an the "kitchen cabinet," it was
decided to have it boikd, At dinner, the gentle.
man called for it, was in high glee, for he had drank
ice water• in the States, and felt a mighty hanker
ing for a second trial of the same cooling bever
age. Soon Sambo made his appearance with eyes
rolling on the outside of his face and grinning like
a frightened monkey.
"Where is the ice?" demanded the gentlman.
"0, lorry, massa," said Sambo, "I put him in de
pot and bile him, more 'an half an hour, and when
I look for him he wasn't duff'
The gentleman didn't stop to enlighten his ser
vant on the point of cooking ice, but seizing a de
canter hurled it at the unfortunate "colored gentle
man's" head as an indication that he had done
something for which he would "suffer some"' after
the dinner bout-.
Battle in Sixth street.—Yesterday morning a man
by the name of S. J. Butler, while the Greys
were passing Sixth et. Market, where he kept a
stand to sell cheese, vented his spleen on all Amer.
cans. saying that fifteen British could whip any fif
ty of them, and that he would like to see the Brit.
ish Flag wave over this land. A storm of eggs
was soon waved over him by the crowd that gath
ered—he was the worst egged man ever seen in
this city. The farmer who lost the eggs refused
to take pay from those who threw them. Butler
run off to avoid further popular fury.

Tornado.—The Brunswick reports Having en
countered a violent storm on her trip up. She
met the Louisiana near New Orleans without

sons. --St. Louis Reporter ay 21.

Mr. Joseph Weed, manufacturer of fancy laces.
Neapolitan and Pamela braids for bonnets, from
Si Philadelphia, on Monday presented
Mrs. Polk, the President's lady, a beatiful bonnet,
made of glass and silk, of which there are sever
al others like it exhibited at the Manufacturers'
Fair. now open at Washington. Mr. Weed
was introduced to Mrs. Polk, at the President's
mansion, by.Mr. - Chas, J. Ingersoll, representative
of Kensington, and presented her this elegant
specimen of the arts, which was mostcourteously
accepted. Nothing can surpass the .brili ant white

LIEUT. DEAL: It is due to Lieut. Dees, to say,
that there is 110 doubt but that when he left our
army to go to Matamoros he was laboring under
mental derangement, a disease with Which he has
at times been afflicted ever since he first joined the
Military Academy. Under other circumstances,
his crime would be that of degrtion, and he would
be shot accordingly. --N. 0 Courier.

Beware of Consumption.
D R. DUNCAN'S EXPECTORANT REMEDY,
for Consumption,Colds, Coughs, Spitting or,
Blood, Bronchitis,
Difficulty of Breathing, Asthma, '
Pain in the Side, Breast and Chest, Whooping Cough
Croup, and all other diseases of the Liver and
Lungs.
COLDS and COI:GlIS lead to Consumption. Hon
many valuable lives might be spared if a little more
attention was paid to those apparently trifling com
plaints, colds, coughs, etc. There are very few who
estimate correctly ; he vital importance of having
them immediately removed; and generally looked
upon them as harmless cemplainta, that will speedily
pass off, without any assistance, and in the exercise
of such a delusive hope, the majority of those who
die annually of consumption in its various forms, have
allowed themselves to put off the use of a proper
medicine, until their Longs become diseased without
remedy. If the celebrated Dr. Dancan's Expecto
rant It'emedy for Consumption, colds, coughs, &c.,
was employed immediately on the first appearance of
cold, a tedious, and probably a fatal illness might be
arrested. It is an invaluable medicine in every stage
of the disease. It removes the first symptoms im
mediately, and when it is not absolutely impossible,
it seldom tails to effect a cure in the worst cases.—
Upwards of 1000 cures in the State of Ohio within
the last year. Ask who you please, and almost
every person will advise you to procure this meth-
SUDDEN CHANGES
Tilt MOTHER Of CONSUMPTIONS.
This fact is clearly demonstrated wherever we
have a sudden change in the weather. It is at this
time that the Seed of Consumption is sown in the sys
tem and matured until the Lungs, become serious
ly and dangerousl; diseased, when in all probability
the patient, for the first time, will begin to seek re-,
lief. How many thousands thus neglect themselves
and suffer their health, and finally their life to be de
stroyed. The first perceptible foot-prints of CON
SUMPTION, experienced at sudden changes of the
weather, are Iloarness and Cough, Sorenes.s of the
Throat, and Irritation of the Pronchi. Pain in the.
Head, Coldness of the Peet, and Sudden Chilliness
over the Body. At length the cough increases, and
finally rostration and languidness of the whole vs,
temo fo p llows, which indicate a sudden decline of
Health, and the speedy approach of Consumption.
These facts, plain as they appear to every sensible
person, do not, however, seem to alarm those afflict
ed, until it may be too late. It is therefore of the
greatest importance for those who may he attacked
from the effects of sudden changes in our atmos
phere to at once procure Dn. DUNCAN'S Celebrated
Expectorant Remedy, the greatest preventive and
Lift Guard of CONSUMPTION, and the only cer
ain medicine that will remove disease and again resH
torn the LUNGS to their former Health.

BEAUTY OF FEMALES.
The noblest work of Him' who created all things,
and secured for Mon a helpmate and a comforter in
health and adversity. Who then would dare to blem
ish or deface the graceful smiles and enchanting

the fiend, the "HYDRA HEADED" Monster, CON
SUMPTION! it sips the morning dew and steals
away the Beauty from the Youth, implant the seed
of distress and desolation, and'finally lays her low in
the dust. The learned Faculty have spent years of
study in attempting to discover a Remedy, to secure
a longer /ease upon that "NOBLE roost," but all in
vain, until the celebrated DR. DUNCAN accomplished
his good work, and placed it, before the "American
Public." Since that time, our cities exhibit "tens of

rrirm citizens of . Pittsburgh continue to be offered
an opportunity to effect insurance upon their
property, by , a Domestic institution located among
themselves, based- upon domestic capital,_ and con
ducted by direCtors, in whose prudence, integrity and
good faith they can readily:ascertain whether they
may: repose - ; undoubted security which should
over attend an assurance transaction: -
, To persons whose properly has already been dam
aged ord.estroyed hy fire or water, the advantage'of
personally adjusting .the loss with an institution AT
Imam, will be strikingly evident. To those who suffer:
ed by the Great Fire, this particularcorporation needs
no - recommendation. The 'prompt payment - of the
whole amount of its losseas--stmayr TWO gun - nu=
THOUSAND DOLLARS-4S to them a sufficientgUa.rantee
of future security. =
It is the pa of all prudent men, however. fortu
nate, to anticipdte calamity for the purpose orwoid=
ing its effects. To such as have hitherto escaped, as
well as to those Who have sustained loss;the facility
of protection and indemnity, offered - by this. institu
tion, will be the,strongest inducementm avoid the
reflections and regrets .which must be experienced
by those who suffer without hope of restitution.

_ A LTERATIVE.—We-have been informed by
..Mrs Mahan, a:grarld-ilaughtei of old• Gen. Wayne,,
that she suffered fora number of.years from the
'growth of a large goitrons tumor of.the thmat, which
besides the deformity, produced both a difficulty of
deglution and of breathing.. Irideed, she says, the
pressure upon the windpipewaS so great as to pre
vent her from sleeping in a- recumbent position,
and often suffocation - appeared inevitable. She also
labored ender severe indiSpOsition from Liver Com
plaint and Jaundice, for which she commenced the
use of Dr. Jayrie's Alterative, which she took fot
six or seven weeks 'and her.. general-health was
completely re-established by it, and perceiving
some diminution in the si'F.,e of the Goitrous Tumor,
she was encouraged to .persevere in the use of the
Alterative until every'Vestage'of the painful Tufnoi
was entirely removed.
