    THE JOURNAL;
rozionoN NEWS.
The steamer Sarah Sands, Capt W. C
Thompson, arrived at New York on the
10th inst. from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on Saturday, the 22d of January.
.The advices brought by the Sarah Sands
are one week later than those of the Aca
dia ; the latter having sailed from Liver
pool on the Saturday previous.
The political news by this arrival is
generally unimportant.
The Money market in London was
decidedly easier.. The active circula
tion of the Bank of England had large
ly increased. We notice no important
changes in the market for American pro
,, duce. The prices of Iron had advan
ced, and that branch of trade seems to be
improving.
On the day of sailing from Liverpool,
there seemed a better feeling in the Corn
Market. Wheat, in consequence of hea- i
vy arrivals early in the week, had rece
ded 4d. per 70 lbs. Corn 2s. per 180-1
but on 21st, Corn recovered 1 shilling.—
American Flour 27 to 28e.. which is a

The Vice Presidency.
At a meeting of the Whigs of Faquair
county, Virginia, on the 22d ult., the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That with reference to the
Vice Presidency though there is a host
of worthies any one of whom would fill
the post with ability, yet in the opinion
of this meeting in view of local position,
solid acquirements, varied information,

FREE BANKINGI.—An act to regulate
the business of Banking in this State
has been reported by commitee on Banks
in the House of Representatives. In its
general features, thinks the Lancaster
Examiner, the bill is modeled after the.
free banking law of New York: There
is room for improvement in the present j
bill, and we hope it will be amended in
several important respects before it is
permitted to become a law. 'rite system
of free banking is undoubtedly the true
one; but as there are always schettiing
and unprincipled men on the look out
to take advantage of such laws, great
care should be taken to render it as per•
feet as possible before giving it a trial.
Gov. Shunk's objections, in his late
message, to the Free Banking system,
show clearly enough that he has no con
ception whatever of the principles of
the system or its manner of working.—
That the Governor should not be able to
comprehend the subject is not at all sur
prising to any one acquainted with his in
tellectual calibre ; though it is a source
of much regret that such a man should
have so potent a voice in the decision of
a question which he possesses neither
the ability nor the inclination to under
stand.
TILE PRODUCTIONS or THE COUNTRY.—
i The report of the Commissioner of Pa
tents shows that the tobacco crop was
1219,964,000 pounds; the cotton crop
1,026,500,000 pounds; rice, 103,400,-
500 pounds; silk, 404,600 pounds of
cocoons. The potato crop 97,018,000
bushels. - This last crop, it seems, has
very much diminished in consequence
of the rot. The report of the Commis
sioner may contain come valuable sug
gestions on the subject.
A NEW PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.-
John Van Buren, son of the Ex-President,
has been nominated by the Democrats
of Erie county, New York, as a candi
date for the Presidency.

THREATENED INSURRECTOIN.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 13, 1848.
On Monday last, the commander-in
ehief was informed of a movement de , ,
signed here io attack the quarters of the ,
officers of the army, and, if possible, to I
take them prisoners or kill them. The
plan was, that the population, or so
much of it as could be induced to take
part in the conspiracy, should rise, and
aesisted by a body of gurrillas which
were to enter the city at a certain hour,
Make the attack. During the day, the
commander-in.chief informed the chief
officers of the intended attack; designs.
ted rallying points for the different regi
ments, and made every disposition ne
cessary to defeat the insurrection. At
night scarcely a Mexican was to be seen
in the streets, showing that the whole
popUlation had a knowledge of what was
to be attempted. The precaution adopt- ,
ed, it is supposed, prevented an attempt
Ito execute the plan.
1 During the night Lieut. Baker, of the
sth Indiana regiment, commanding a
patrole, came in sight of two carts near
the Plaza del Toro, in the southeast
' ern part of the city, one of which, con
taining ono hundred stand of arms, lie
captured ; the other he was unable to
come up with before it was placed in
concealment. _ _

I regret to say there is n great deal of
sickness among the four volunteer re

Indiana, which Gen. Butler comman

REDUCTION. OF WAGES.—The mans.
lecturers around Boston have commen
ced the work of reducing the operatives
wages. The Lawrence, Suffolk and
Tremont Mills, at Lowell, end the Stark
Mills at Manchester, have already adop.
ted this course. Cause, low price of
the goods.
The Pope has lately suppresed nine
convents, viz: two at Rome, two at Gub
bin, and five at Urbino; their incomes
are to be applied to benevolent purposes.
SUDDEN CHANGES.—There is nothing
more trying to the humairconstitution
than sudden changes of weather. Heat
rarities the blood, and increases the per
spiration ; but when suddenly checked,
those humors which should pass off by
the skin, are thrown off inwardly, caus
ing coughs, colds, consumption, difficul
ty of breathing, watery and inflamed
eyes, sore throat, and many other com
plaints.
Wright's Indian Vegcalsle Pills are a
delightful medicine for carrying off a
cold—because they expel from the body
those humors which are the cause of the
above complaints. Four or five of said
Indian Vegetable Pills taken every night
on going to bed will, in a few days, car
ry off the most obstinate cold ; at the
same time the digestive organs will be
restored to a healthy tone, and new life
and vigor will be given to the whole
frame.

GETTING tie nurotta TIID WORLD is AIDED
—Beau Biummel, once the "bright particular
star," of English fashion, being on one occasion
asked the cause of a trifling hoarseness with which
he was afflicted, attributed it partly to his having
got up "before the world was aired," and partly to
his having breakfasted in the the room with "a
damp stranger." In such a climate, hoarseness or
slight cough may he very good subjects for a joke,
but in this country, where the thermometer some
times rises or falls litrty degrees in twenty-four
hours, even these apparently unimportant symp
toms are not to he neglected with impunity. If
* there is a predisposition in the constitution to pul
monary disease, Consumption will tread close up
on the heels of the indications. There is no dif
ficulty, however, in escaping the danger, if the
proper precaution is token by a timely use of'
Witdar's Masan' of Wld Cherry. One bottle of
this invaluable panacea usually relieves the worst
cue of cold, and restores the sufferer to health.
