After debate by Mr. Ben ton against, and Mr. Preston in favor of the amendment, it was adopted, Yeas 27, Nays 19.

After some debate by Messrs. FJoyd, Ev erett and Boardman the House adjourned. N. Y. Tribune. Bleep it before the People, That in a report made to Congress by Levi Woodbury, Van Buren's Secretary of the Treasury, on the 18th January, 1841, he re commended the taxing of Coffee and Tea as luxuries, in the following terms! "Suppose, then, that there should be select ed from the free articles those which may be REGARDED MOST AS LUXURIES, though not in every respect belonging exclusively to that class SUCH AS TEA, COFFEE AND SILK; should we then add to them others, con flicting with similar American productions, such as worsteds, linens, &c, and the aggregate, de ducting the amount re-exported would be $29,- 026,448. A duty of 20 per cent, on those, after paying the expenses of collection, would yield about the same amount of five millions. This seems to contain the general data fdr the most eligible and unexceptionable revision." Keep it before tiie People too, That John Banks, the Democratic Candidate for Governor, opposed the imposition of a duty on Tea and Coffee, in a speech made by him in Congress in January, 1833, of which the fol lowing is an extract: "That the imposition of duty upon articles imported does in some instances, increase the price, is doubtless true. I think it will be found lo be so as td tea and coffee. On those articles jj, yfi be, in strictness, a tax on the consumer. Those articles are- not the growth of this coun try; our labor is not in any degree connected with them. Our supply is altogether from abroad- We have no comnetitidn, as to them, at home. The duly laid upon them is a burden upon the people; and, sir, I am opposed o this bill for that reason. These articles are used in every family in my district, by the rich and poor alike. Go into the country, and you will find tea and coffee once, if not twice a day, on the tables of the poor, as well as on those of the rich. Why, then, I ask, impose this duty on those articles? It is a tax on the poor, without conferring a benefit on any portion of our peo ple. No duty should be laid on these articles. Let tho poor have them as well as the rich. The duly will tend to keep the best 'quality from our market. I want the best quality im ported and placed within the means of the" poor who labor, -as well as the rich, who do not." A Perilous Situation. A correspondent of the National Gazelle, gives tho following account of an escape from one of tho small Islands near the Falls of Nia gara. It will be seen that the brave Peter Robinson, well known in tho vicinity of the Falls for his deeds of daring, rescued tho un happy man. The Gazette says, a friend so journing at Niagara Falls gives the fallowing account of the escape of a man from one of the small Islands just above the great Falls. The story has been briefly told in the newspa pers, accompanied with the suggestion that the man had purposely got upon the Island. But our correspondent, as may be seen, details the circumstances, showing that there was ho joke in the poor fellow's predicament. S. E. Post. Dear : "You will remember that two years since I gave you an account of a most heroic feat per formed by Peter Robinson, by which he saved the life of an unfortunate man, who falling in to the rapids from the bridge and was luckly thrown on an island very near the cateract, and was rescued from his perilous situation, by the unaided efforts of this daring man. Peter has again been giving proof of his dauntless cour age, and of his eminent humanity, as the an nexed narrative will ptove. On Friday evening Vist. about 10 o'clock, a man crossing the river n a boat from Chippe wa, owing to the darknes of tho night got into the rapids before he wasaware how far down the current had forced him On perceiring his perilous situation, he immediately turned the head of his boat against thecurrent, and in his violent exertions to reach Goat Island, was so unfortunate as to break oneof his oars you can imagine the horror of lis situation, with but one oar to attempt to stern that mighty cur rent, a contest soon found usenss, for he was rapidly hurried towards the avful precipice. His efforts to run his boat on eitlpr of the small islands which lie between Goat bland and the Canada shore were without aval, and he, to use his own words, " said his pftyers before going it." In passing the small island nearest the Fall, he, as a desperate resoujee, leaped from his boat, and was fortunate enough to se cure a footing, and with some difiiedty a safe landing on the shore. The boat fouid refuge at the bottom of the cataract. On this island his situation was scarcely more to be envied, for he found himscf on a spot which had never before been trodden by mortal foot, surrounded by roaring waters and within not many yards of the mighty falls." As soon as he was perceived, Robinson was. of course, called for, and readily responded; tut his boat was dry and leaky, and had to be caulked and repaired. This was the work of time, and there the poor fellow remained all the next day, and the following night, entirely without sustenance. On the succeeding day Robinson landed on an island near that on which the victim was a most hazardous peformance and found that it would be impossible to attempt to save him by rowing a boat to him, without the almost certain prospect of destruction. He then thought of adopting other means, and returning to shore obtained rope and a piece of lead, with which he went back to his former position. By means of a cord attached to the lead, which he threw to the man, the latter was enabled lo draw to the Island a rope; this he firmly fixed to a tree; Robinson procured another rope, and fastened boih to the boat, she was drawn to the sufferer, and then with her overjoyed freight, was pulled by the hero (0 his Island. Thus by the skill and courage of this man access was had to an Island which had hitherto been uuapproachable, and a fellow being was res cued from an awful death. The achievement was followed by the cheers of the spectators. I have attempted to give you a slight descrip tion of this wonderful feat. It must necessari ly be weak; works cannot describe the risks that were run, nor the skill with which they were surmounted. Yours, &c. ISoUoiiiless Mole. On the great Western Railroad between Bos ton and Albany, a few miles from Pittsfield, there is a bottomless pond, a sort of " Captain bymms Hole, over which the railroad is com pelled to pass. Not less lhan ninety-five feet of filling has been thrown in, and yet, like the leech, it cries "give, give." Not long since, the Contractors were delighted at having, as they supposed, found bottom. The grading was nnisncd, the track laid, and the cars were about to run over it. But behold, the next day. raditig, rails and all, had suddenly disappeared! Science and money can elevate vallies and de press hills, but it is no easy matter with both to fill up a bottomless mud-holt. Wooden Pavement. Smith was descant ing to Jones on the manifold excellencies of the wooden pavement: "Capital thing, Jones; ex cellent thing; what a pity that all cities don't adopt it!" "True," replied Jones; "why if, on ly some of the city authorities would lay their Iieads together, the whole town might be cover ed with jt, Joseph Gales, Senior, father of Mr. Gales of the National Intelligencer, died at Raleigh, N. C. on the 24lh, aged 80 years. He was born in Eckinglon, Derbyshire England, and in 1787 commenced the publication of the 'Shef field Register.' Being persecuted by the Gov ernment for his Liberal principles, he fled to this counlry in 1794, and commenced the 'In dependent Gazetteer,' at Philadelphia. In 1799 he removed to North Carolina and established the Raleigh Register, which has ever since been a leading Democratic Whig Journal. He retired from tho business a year or two since resigning it to his youngest son. Mr. Gales has often represented his County in the Legis lature. For Monroe County Courts, Sept.

The Publishers of Thb New York Tribune, en couraged by the generous patronage and hearty approval which has been extended to their Daily paper since its establishment, and which has al ready rendered it the second in point of circulation m the city, propose to publish, on and after the I8tli day of September, a Weekly edition, on a sheet of mammoth size, excluding all matter of local or transitory interest, and calculated mainly lor country circulation. J he lribune whether in its Daily or Weekly edition will be what its name imports an un flinching supporter of the People's Rights aud In terests, in stern hostility to the errors of superfi cial theorists, the influence of uniust or imperfect legislation, and the schemes and sophistries of sen-seeking demagogues. It will strenuously advocate the Protection of American Industry against the grasping and to ua blighting policy of J!iUropean Governments, and the unequal compe tition which they force upon us, as also against the present depressing system of State Prison La bor; it will advocate the restoration of a sound and uniform National Currency; and urge a discreet but determined prosecution of Internal Improve ment. The Retrenchment, wherever practicable, ol Government Expenditures and ot Executive Patronage, will be zealously urged. In short, this paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly advo cate the Principles and Measures which the Peo ple approved in devolving on Whig Statesmen the conduct of their Government. But a small portion, however, of its columns will be devoted to purely Political discussions. The proceedings of Congress will be carefully re corded; the Foreign and Domestic Intelligence early and lucidly presented; and whatever shall appear calculated to promote Morality, maintain Social Order, extend the blessings of Education, or in any way subserve the great cause of Human Progress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and Happi ness, will find a plrfco in our columns. The Weekly Tribune will be published every Saturday morning in Quarto form on a very large imperial sheet, (31 by 42 inches,) and afforded to Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS a year. Six co pies will be forwarded a year for Ten Dollars, Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and any larger number in the latter proportion. Payment in ad vance will bo invariably required, and the paper stopped whenever the term of such payment ex pires. Subscriptions are respectfully solicited by Gil RELY & McELRATII, 30 Ann-st.

Fellow Citizens: Being encouraged by a number of my friends from differeut parts of the County, I offer myself as a candidate, at the next October election, for the office of County Commissioner. Should I be so fortunate as to receive a major ity of your votes, I pledge myself to perform the duties of said office with fidelity and justice to the people and to myself. ROBERT BROWN. Stroud tsp. September 1, 1841. te. JOB WORK Neatlv executed at this Office. A BE9EEDT, Suited to our Constitutions, and competent to the cure of every curable disease tvill be found in the INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, OF THE iSforlla American College of HcailJi. 4 THESE extraordinary Pills are composed of plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil; and are therefore, better adapted to our constitu tions, than medicine concocted from foreign drugs, however well they may be compounded; and as TIIE INDIAN VE GETABL E PILLS are found ed upon the principle that the human body is in truth 5 UBIECT TO B UT ONE DISEASE) viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on NATURAL PRINCIPLES by cleansing and purifying the body; it will be man ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex hausted a perseverance in their use, according lo directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of every name from the body. When we wish to restore a Swamp or Morass to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant wa ters; in like manner if we wish to restore the body to health, we must cleanse it of impurity. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS Will be found one of the best, if not the very best medicine in the world for carrying out this GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because they expel from the body all morbid and corrupt humors, the cause of disease in an easy and NATURAL MANNER; and while they every day GIVE EASE AND PLEASURE, disease of every name is rapidly driven from the body. The above named Indian Vegetable Pills, have been three years before the American public; and we can now say withont fear of contradiction, that of all the various medicines which have heretofore been popular, not one has given such universal satisfaction, or obtained such a permanent hold upon the affections of the people. Not only do all who use it invariably experience relief, and re commend it in the strongest terms': but it has ef fected some of the most astonishing cures ever performed by medicine. Hitherto, very few of the numerous testimonials which have been received in favor of this extraor dinary medicine have been published, as the med icine obtained its present great celebrity more by its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad vertising. It has been deemed proper however to offer the following opinions of the public pres3, together with a few extracts from letters of Agents, merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege table Pills, is not confined to any one section, but is rapidly extending itself to every part of the Union. From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. TIIE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining great celebrity in New England as well as other paits of the United States. The attempt of per sons to defraud the public by the sale of spurious articles, meets with general reprobation. Mr. Wright is an indefatigable business man, and shows an array of cures by the medicine which warrant confidence in the virtues of his Indian Vegetable Pills. From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times. TIIE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. People are pretty well satisfied by this time, that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min eral preparations of the shops, are better adapted, as a general rule, to kill rather than cure the pa tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicines are therefore in great request. There are very many humbugs, however, among the latter, and wo would advise all those who have the least re gard for their health, to try the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS OF TIIE NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH, sold at 169 Race street, Phladelphia ; as they are the preparation of one intimately acquainted with the healing art. From the Boston Daily Times. INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Of all the public advertised medicines of thd day, we know of hone that we can more safely re commend for the "ills that flesh is heir to" than the Pills that are sold at tho depot of the North American College of Health, No. 108 Tremont street, Roston. Several instances wo know of where they are used in families with the highest satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, we heard an ominont Physician of the city recommend them in high terms. Thero used to be in the community, a great repugnance to tho use of QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate ly termed, but it was mainly owing to the regular M. D.'s constantly denouncing them. They are, however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and the consoquence is that good vegetable medicines are now more extensively used than formerly. Extract of a letter from Peter Christ, Uniontowri, Carrol County, Md., Nov. 17th, 1838. Dear Sir: About two months ago, T had busi ness in Baltimore, and called at your office, and bought a few boxes of the Indian Vegetable Pills; and upon trying them I found them to be far supe rior to Pills, or any other medicine I had ever used. I had been subject to a coudi for tiv years past, and during the time have taken a vari ety of medicines without any relief, until I got thc: Indian Vegetable Pills, and by taking four doses, the cough began to leave me; and I now enjoy bet ter health than I have done for years past After I found them to be a valuable medicine, I imme diately sent to Baltimore for a large supply. I have received so much benefit in using the IN DIAN VEGETABLE PILLS that I cannot help but recommend them to every invalid I see, and think so well of the medicine that I have sent two dozen boxes to my invalid friends, in tho State of Indiana. Signed, " PETER CHRIST. From G. C. Black; New York. Mr. Wm. Wright Pear Sir you will please to forward as soon as possible, some of your Indian Vegetable Pills; as we are almost out of the arti cle, and they appear to be getting into general use here. We have a great call for the medicine at present, and those that have used them, speak verv high of them. One gentleman attributes his being cured of Dropsy to the use of them; and another has been cured op Dyspepsia, solely by the use of your Indian Vegetable Pills, and is willing you should publish his case if you think proper. G. C. BLACK, No. 1 Chatham Square, New York. Extract of a letter from Mr. A. Larrimorc, Indiana; Doctor Wright Dear Sir Having some knowl edge of your most excellent compound INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, and not knowing how to get a fresh supply, niy stock being nearly exhaust ed, and wishing to always have them in my family, I take this method to operi a correspondence with you. The pills alluded to are well thought of here and very much wanted; I wish to make arrange ments with you for a constant supply, as I think a very great quantity could be sold in this section of the country. Extract of a letter from Samuel Griffith, Stewart town, York County, Pa. Mr. W. Wright Dear Sir I am selling the In dian Vegetable Pills by the dollar's worth, and at that rate the stock of Pills, left by your travelling agent, will soon be out. I am pleased to find they are such ready sale. Those who have used them, speak in the highest terms of them. Many have already found great relief from their use, and when the cures are final ly effected, I shall do ybu the justice to inform you of the same. Extract of a letter from Washington City. Mr. Win. Wright Dear Sir You will have tho kindness to forward me as soon as possible, too or three gross of the Indian Vegetable Pills. The1 sales have, for the last two months, increased rap idly; those who buy, generally remarking, "that they are the best pills they have ever used;" and my opinion is that they will in a short time super cede all others in this city. ROBERT FARNHAM. Washington City, D. . Extract of a. letter from Lycoming County, Pa, Mr. Wm Wright Dear Sir On being appoint ed Agents for the sale of the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS in this place, we only took one gross on trial; but it would have been better if we had taken a half dozen gross; for on a fair trial they have far exceeded our most sanguine expecta tions. In fact so much so that we have been oblig ed to send to Mr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, more than a hundred miles from here, for ten dozen; but these will last but a very short time, the way wo are selling them since they have been fairly tested. In the first place, I gave some to our Physicians, to make trial of since which they have purchased a number of boxes, and highly approve of them. A few days ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles to get a box of the Pills, she at the time was very low, and unable to turn herself in bed; but in two days, my informant says she was able to help herself. We could mention many other cases, but deem it unnecessary at this time; but Would merely say; that as the season is fast approaching when thero will be a great demand for the Indian Vegetable Pills; and if we only could get a supply of the med icine, we could establish other agents, which would bo of immense advantage not only to the NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH; but to the public gonerally. Please let us know your views on the subject, and any directions relative to the same, will be promptly attended to by Very respectfully, your friends, S.
