Trihunr: Sir: Of all nncienl or modern discoveries in science- and all must admit they have been very great none can bear any comparison in point of merit or physicil utility with the sci ence of hydropathy. What is to be Compared to Health ! When we look around us and see to what an alarming extent disease prevails, the inadequate means that are reported 1o to im pede the forced and positive mnrchosofthe grim tyrant death, and more especially, when we ace his approaches hastened by medica! assistance, we must on reflection become converts to the opinion that "there must he something rotten in the Rtato of Denmark." It may he fairly ask ed, how can poison cure disease ! and as fairly answered they do vol. Their office is com pleted if they suhdue it for a time; and this Is Those diseases which Carry off whole districts, such as cholera, inflamatrons, dysentery and fe vers, are as child's-play to Priessfiitz; and the same may be said of all complaints to which children are subject such as measles, small pox, whooping totigh, Warlclma, &C. To sum up, we defy skeptics, or others who have visited the Hyjrene Temple, to data a single instance in which he ever lost a case where the allnck Was from any of thoe dahffcfuus maladies. It may be questioned, did he ever treat cholera !

A tase tWtlias excied a frond deal of attention is that of a man resident about seventy miles from Graefenbcrg. About fnnr Weeks ago he was attacked with a pain in the chest, whick was blistered when the pain left the part and tfe.'tllcd in "the knee--this began to enlarge and proceeded eo fast as to alarm his medical atten dant, who conceived it tbe gangrene and thought the wily cliunce of saving the irmn's 1 ilc WfiB amputating the limb. The fiioiids had called in a military surgeon, who at once pro nounced the disease droiwy, and of course dis contenarrced the 'CfpeVation. The whole of one thigh, as welt as the abdomen, soon became swelled to double their ordinary size, the skin polished as glass, and, on. being pressed with the finger, the indentation remained for a short time. In this state he came to tiracfenberg, where he underwent the treatment a visible reduction of the members has taken place daily, and, on the sixteenth day, the man was able to walk out for a short time.

It has been truly remarked that many of the event of real life would surpass the pages of romance if told with the srrme pathos and feel ing ; and this town and neighborhood has latter ly been the theatre of deeds as romantic as any novelist could Conceive, though invested with all the true sobriety of matters of Tact. A young" American planter named V)a Costa, of gocxi fa mily and immense fortune, Xvithoutany incnm- hrance, and almost without living relation, had latterly, it appears, come over to tngland in search of a wife rathr-r a romantic errand, eon sidering 'the number of ladies to which the Uni ted States have given birth ; but ono respect ing which he had only one person to please, and that one himself. After visiting some ot the most fashionable Cities of the kingdom, and "spending his money like a prince," without meeting tho object otliis seated, he paid a viit to Birmingham, and wss Btanding one day at the door 'of the Hen and Chickens, when, aa old wives Would Bay, and circumstances have in this tasO proVed the truth of the saying,) the Very "peroA ne came to England to look tor, walked serosa New street, nearly opposite U) where he stood. Struck by her appearancd with those peculiar sensations which lover will best understand, bnt which we maugrrj our gray hairs havo not quite forgotten, htJ followed the lady, and with much politeness (irt words wo will not pretend to detail,) expressed a wish for a better acquaintance, and a desire to? see her home. The young Va!y, a Miss Ri:n tner of Alcestur, v. as at that time on a visit t'j Mr. Ileeley's, Bristol-road, to whose house thi stranger accompanied her, but his partner in lite not liking such a romantic visitor toa young lady then under her matronly protection, with duo sense of propriety, discouraged the gentle man, and referring him to her parents. The; traveller, however, W3s not lo be diverted front an object in search of whom ho had travel led so far, and the little town of Alcestcr waa shortly after well nigh frightened from its pro. priety, by ft Carriage end four driving up fu'.J speed to the house or Mr. Kimmcr. After Yna ny wonderings and many "guesses," among tht inhabitants who it Could be, it turned out that il was Mr. Da Co--ta, come in the most gentleman ly and honorable manner to request of the pa rents permission to pay his addresses to their" daughter. Advice was asked of those wit It whom they usually on other mattcre, and all circumstances duly weighed, and consent wn. very naturally given ; and the stranger gave such evidences of the sincerity of his attach ment, that he was not long finding his way 1 1 the heart of Miss Riminer, and then welir what then 1 why, what think yon, gentle rea? der!- -he neither abandoned her to a broketl heart, nor seduced her and left her to comfoi'.. herself with a dose of prnssic acid, though na ny tales were afloat of what the modern ' lliuej beard" would do, but married her at Attcstcr Church on Sunday last) three carriages ami lour conveying the parties who grated the nuptial ceremony with their presence. Yotr see we are not writing a tragedy, hut an opern and an Opera we trust it will be, as far as tluj characteristic goes', of all ending happily, for" the people whoso daughter has thus become wife, aro good, worthy, honest people, in tno- derate circumstances, the lady possesses goef sense, as well as personal attractions, end lh stranger lias shown himself, by his munificeri . presents, and by various acts of kindness, as r' licato as they are generous, to be really w'j at. he passes for a inanol vat wealth nnd a -''eti' tleman. We understand that tho elder hrct her" of Miss Rimmer is lo accompany her to hef newr" residence on the oilier side tho Atlantic, vhei his fortune, as well as hers, will be uiadft.
