To L. D. Slamm, I'Miior of the Pit lion :
Dbar Sin : I regret extremely to find, on
my Arrival at the Hermitage, the health of the
venerable Ex-President, Andrew Jackson, in
such a preenriou stato. He is very feeble ;
appetite poor, cough distressing, attended with
severe paroxysms on account of the pnin in his
side. At time he suffers from a degree of
tightness ttbont the chest, Attended with much
difficulty ot respiration ; at other times a more
free expectoration, greatly relieves him. lie

A professional friend informs us that the ob

quest is void by reason of the uncertainty in the
description of those who are to enjoy its benefits;
that the corporation of Philadelphia has no au
thority to receive such a grant and administer
the trusts, and that the plan of education propo
sed is repugnant to the laws of Pennsylvania, on
account of its anti-christian tendency and its al
leged inconsistency with religious liberty and
