PPM SOCIETYfor the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This Ps-- , Society derives its origin from the following cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local Institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to defect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the clergy ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or rents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies but, on the contrary, w ith t h e strong desire to co-operate with and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it w ith th e requ i s it e f un d s , which sh a ll be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study o f a ll w h o are subject to stricture."—Medioal Circular, Dec.

They remained in anxious suspense, but ready for what they believed was sure to come, —a volley from Fort. Sumter. The Star of the West rounded the point, took the ship channel inside of the bar, and proceeded straightforward until opposite Morris Island, about three-quarters of a mile from the battery. A ball was then fixed athwart the bows of the steamer. The Star of the West displayed the Sf.ars and Stripes. As soon as the flag was unfurled the fortification fired a suc cession of heavy sh ots. The vessel continued on her course with increased speed, but two shots taking effect up on her she concluded to retire. Fort, Moultrie fired a few shots at her, but she was out of their rang-e. The damage done to the Star of the West is trifling, as only two out of 17 shots took effect upon her. Fort Sumter made no demon stration except at the portholes, where guns were run out bearing on Morris Island." " After the firing had ceased, a boat from Fort Sumter, bearing Lieutenant Hall with a white flag„ approached the city. Lieutenant Hall had an inter view with Governor Pickens, and was afterwards escorted to his boat, and re-embarked for Fort. Sumter. The communication from Major Ander son is as follows : "To HIS EXCELLENCY TEE GOVERNOR OF SOUTH yl CAROLINA. " Sir,—Two of yonr batterieffired this morning on an unarmed vessel, bearing the flag of my Government. As I have not been notified that war has been declared by South Carolina against the United States, I cannot but think this a hostile act committed without your sanction or authority ; under that hopel refrain from opening a fire on your batteries, - I have the honour, therefore, respectfully to ask' whether the above mentioned, act, which I believe without parallel in the history of our country or any other eirilised Government, was committed in obedience to your instructions, and notify you, if it is not disclaimed, that I regard _ it as an act of war, and I shall not, after reasonable time for the return of my messenger, permit any vessel to pass within the range of the guns of mx fort. In order to save, as far as it is in my povv-er, the shedding' of blood, I beg you will take due noti fication of my decision, for the good of all coneerned hoping, however, your answer may j us tif y a further continuance of forbearance on my part.-1 remain respectfully, " ROBERT ANDERSON:' " Governor Pickens," the Courier continues, " after stating the position of South Carolina to the United States, says that any attempt to send United States troops into Charleston Harbour to reinforce the forts would be regarded as an act of hostility, and, in conclusion, adds that any attempt to rein force the troops of Fort Sumter, or to retake and. resume possession of the forts within the waters of South Carolina which Major Anderson abandoned, after spiking the cannon and doing other damage, cannot be regarded by the authorities of the State as indicative of any other purpose than the coercion of the State by the armed force of the Government. Special agents, therefore, have been off the bar to warn approaching vessels, arm e d an d unarmed, having troops to reinforce Fort Sumter aboard, not to enter the harbour. Special orders have been given the commanders at the forts not to fire on such vessels until a shot across their bows should warn them of the prohibition of the, State. Under these circumstances the Star of the West, it is understood, this morning attempted to enter the harbour with troops, after having I'Ren - notified she could not enter, and consequently she was fired into. The act is p:llectly justified by me. In regard to your threat about vessels in the harbour, it is only necessary for me to say, you must be the judge : - )f vs:air own responsibility. Your position in the harbour has been tol era t e d b y the • of the State, and while the act of which. you oor:iplain is in perfect consistency with the right's and duties of the State, it is not perceived how far the conduct you propose to adopt can find a parallel in the history of any country, or be recon ciled with any other purpose than that of your Government imposing on the State the condition of a conquered province. ~,,. pRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. recommendation made by the Presidant is entitled to the respect of the American people ; but the resolutions pending, instead of proposing a remedy, look to a special committee to indict somebody. He would vote against the resolution, as it did not meet the emergency. Mr. FLORENCE of Pa. (Dem.), believing the re solution productive of no good, opposed it. Mr. HILL (of Geo.) said the resolution was not brsed on a pacific plan to adjust the difficulties. Mr. MARTIN (of Va.) looked on the resolution as a firebrand to be thrown into the country, which was already excited. The resolution passed—yeas, 133 ; nays, 62. Senator Crittenden having called up his resolu tions :to amend the Constitution, Senator Clark (Rep.), of New Hampshire, offered the following as a substitute : " Resolved,—That the provisions of the Consti tution are ample for the preservation of the Union and the protection of all the material intetests of the country; that it needs to be obeyed rather than amended, and an extrication from our pre sent difficulties is to be looked for in strenuous efforts to preserve and protect the public property, and enforce the laws, rather than in new guaran tees for particular interests, or compromises, or con cessions to unreasonable demands. " Resolved,—That all attempts to dissolve the Union or overthrow the Constitution, with the expectation of constructing it anew, are dangerous and illusory, and in the opinion of the Senate no reconstruction is practicable ; and, therefore, to the maintenance of the existing Union and Con stitution should be directed all the energies of the Government." These resolutions were ordered to be printed, and their consideration postponed. On the 10th Mr. Seward presented a memorial of the citizens of New York city, praying for the adoption of wise, just, and equitable measures for the preser vation of the Union. Mr. Kennedy presented a memorial from 12,000 citizens of Baltimore, praying for means to restore peace and harmony. Mr. Bigler presented a memorial of citizens Of New Jersey, praying for the adoption of mea sures for the States calling a Convention to amend the Constitution ; also a memorial of citi zens of Philadelphia praying for the adoption of the resolution of the Senator from Kentucky, proposing amendments to the Constitution. A debate then ensued on the state of the Union. On the 11th Messrs. Bigler and Cameron presented sundry memorials favouring the passage of Crittenden's resolutions. Mr. Critten den's resolutions were then taken up, and after a debate the subject was adjourned. In the course of the debate Mr, Hunter said the South had all the elements of an empire within itself. The only thing that would preserve peace now was the adop tion of the following amendments to the Congress:— " 1. Congress shall have no power to abolish slavery in any State or the district of Columbia, or in any of the dockyards, forts, and arsenals of the Government. " 2. Nothing shall be done to obstruct the slave ;rade between the States. " 3. It shall be the duty of each State to suppress armed invasions of another State. "4. Any State shall be admitted into the Union with or without slavery, according to the inclina of the people. " 5. The States shall restore fugitive slaves, o'r pay their value. " 6, Fugitives shall be deemed to be those offend ing the laws within the jurisdiction of the States, and escaping therefrom. " 7. Congress shall recognise and protect pro perty wherever the Government has exclusive jurisdiction." " F. W. PICKENS." (Second Communication from Major Anderson.) "TO lIIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR PICKENS. • " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication, and say that under the circumstances I have deemed it proper to refer the whole matter to my Government, and intend. deferring the course I indicated in my note thiF, morning until the arrival from Washington of suf . +. instructions as I may receive.

T. Talb',t, who is directed to make the journey. " ROBET4T ANDERSON." Governor Pickens immediate - Ay granted the per mission desired, and directed Lieutenant Talbot to have every facility and courtesy extended to him as bearer of despatches to the United States' Govern ment, both in going and returning. Great prepa rations were being made to give the Federal steamer Brooklyn a warm reception. A large steamer, called the Marion, of the Charleston and New York line, had been purchased by South Carolina, and ordered to be razed for a man-of-war. Her upper cabin was to be taken off, and she was to be supplied with a complete armament. On the motion of Mr. Leake, the Select Com mittee on the President's special Message was in structed to inquire whether any arms had recently been removed from Harper's Ferry to Pittsburg, and, if so, by whose authority and for what reasons. The resolution was amended so as to extend' the inquiry to the removal of arms from all the arsenals. No business of importance was transacted on the 10th and 11th. The Republicans at Washington were to meet in caucus on the 12th to discuss the proposition of the Border States. The House Committee of Thirty-three stood adjourned, subject to the call of Mr. Corwin, the chairman, who was expected, in the meantime, to make up a report to be submitted when it next met. Upon this was to come a test as to whether the Republicans would compromise. The National Intelligencer states that a caucus of Senators from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi, and Louisiana had passed resolutions to seize the military and political power of the South, and asserts— An armed steam-tug was employed as a cruiser by the State Government. Forts Johnson and. Cas well (North Carolina) were taken possession of on. the night of the Bth by the Smithville Guard.. Three military expeditions had left New Orleans to seize the forts at Jackson and Pike, and the Baton. Rouge Arsenal. "They then telegraphed orders to their confede rates to seize the forts, arsenals, Custom-houses, revenue cutters, &c., and advised their Conventions to secede immediately, but to retain their Congres sional representatives until the spring, to prevent unfriendly legislation. They advised the seceding States to send delegates to Montgomery on the 13th of February to form a Provisional Government. They resolved to dragoon the tobacco States into secession, and rely for the success of their treason able purposes on defection from the United States' army and navy. They rely to support their power upon various Southern Leagues and the Knights of the Golden Circle." A special despatch from New Orleans to. the Herald says that Major Haskins, with two com panies, refused to surrender the Arsenal at Baton Rouge. He was surrounded by 600 State troops, and after a parley with Governor Moore and the Mayor he surrendered at noon. The excitement is great. According to a communication from Washington the leading men of South Carolina and Georgia had agreed upon the following programme of commer cial policy : " The cotton crop will be moved for ' account of whom it may concern,' and an accredited agent will proceed to hypothecate the crop thus shipped. The commissioner will be intrusted also with the political negotiations growing out of this cotton movement for direct trade with Europe, The plan of execution is simply this :—lf the United States Government attempts to collect the revenue on foreign imports at the South by placing revenue cutters off the different harbours, then the seceding States, not deeming it expedient to declare war, will pronounce for direct taxation, as their exclusive source of re venue, passing an ordinance to that effect. The foreign Ministers resident at Washington will then be informed that the ports of the cotton States are thrown open for the entrance of foreign merchandise free of duty, and that any duties imposed by the United States Government are levied contrary to law, and without authority from the Southern Con federacy. The revenue question will then be trans ferred from the South to Europe. It will become a question with France or England whether or not it will defend the free trade rights thus conferred on its manufacturers against the revenue duties of the northern States. And in such an appeal to British or French cupidity, it is expected the na tional sympathy for free negroism will yield to the national interest in favour of free trade. This plan, which I submit to your readers without comment, for moving the cotton crop through the already organised machinery of direct trade,' as well as the free trade counter movement against the Federal Government's revenue policy, was devised by Mr. C. G. Baylor, who has been intrusted with the delicate mission of putting the design in operation. The Southern commissioner to Europe is a man of distinction, and acts in harmony with Mr. Baylor 13 direct-trade programme." The President had appointed Mr. Dix tion of Mr. Thompson, S e c re tary of the Interior, and l er k in that depart- Interior, i e t s e fprorme.

The steamer Joseph Whitney left Boston on the 10th with troops on board ; destination unknown. The Secretary for the Treasury had advertised for proposals for the taking of the 5,000,000 Treasury notes under the act of December last. The bids were opened on the 19th January. The question of introducing a clause into their policies respecting the risk occasioned by the dis organised state of the Union, was being discussed by the Marine Insurance companies. The Charleston Courier of the 10th gives the fol lowing account of the firing upon the Star of the West z Alabama passed the secession ordinance on the 11th : " Cannon were fired, bells rung, and great enthu siasm manifested generally. The secession ordi nance is similar to that of South Carolina, with an addendum inviting all the Southern States to meet Alabama in convention for the purpose of forming a new Government at Alabama on the 4th of Feb ruary. The ordinance was adopted by a vote of 61 to 37. After its adoption the doors were opened, and Mr. Yancey in behalf of the ladies formally presented a flag to the Convention. The new flag was waving over the Capitol." The Union and Douglas Conventions of Kentucky both recommended the passage of Mr. Crittenden's resolutions. The ordinance for the secession of Mississippi was signed on the 10th. Florida seceded on the same d!iy by a vote of 62 to seven. The - Virginia Legislature had passed the following resolution : " Resolved, that in view of the imminen th t e danger of civil war this Assembly, in behalf of the one Com monwealth of Virginia, ask respectively: f the autho rities of the President and on the other end d el i r f of each of the Southern preserved,States,eoin i u t n o o ic t a h t e e that they possible that peace may be shallconcern ing that the status quo of assurances in response; for rt i a to n hn d e g present, all the t h movementsefot forts and ten dial arsenalsalso either hand be strictly maintained. actual aggressive attempts ; also except to repel 'by telegraph im mediatelyresolutions to the President and thattheG; these e nor communicate.

There being reason for believing that the practice still ex tensively prevails of evading the stamp duties on Delivery Orders by the device of directing' the delivery of the goods to be made, nominally, to the sellers themselves, and issuing the orders without stamps. The Commissioners of the Inland Revenue take this mode of bringing to the attention of all persons whom it concerns, the enactment contained in the 23 and 21 Victoria, cap. 111, passed with the view to suppress such fraudulent evasions. The provisions of the Act are shortly as follows, viz. : Every Delivery Order shall be deemed to be made and given upon a sale or transfer, unless the contrary be expressly stated in it. Any person who shall untruly state or signify in an order that it is .not made or given upon a sale or transfer, shall for feit £2O. Any person who shall by himself, or his servant, or any other person, procure, or require the delivery of the goods specified in an order, knowing that it contains such untrue statement, shall forfeit £20., The Commissioners desire it to be particularly noticed, that not only the giver of an order of this kind, and the purchaser of the goods or his agent who acts upon it, but any public carrier or other person who receives the goods for delivery at any other place than the shop or warehouse of the person who issues the order, subjects himself to this penalty, as he cannot be ignorant of the fact of the transfer.

AMERICA. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The North American, which touched at London derry yesterday, arrived here this morning. The following Message from the President was laid before the Senate on the 9th : " To THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTA- TIVES. " At the opening of your present Session I called your attention to the dangers which threatened the existence of the Union. I expressed my opinion freely concerning the original causes of these dan gers, and recommended such measures as I believed would have the effect of tranquillising the country —saving it from the peril in which it had been needlessly and most unfortunately thrown. " Those opinions and recommendations I do not propose now to repeat. My own convictions upon the whole subject remain unchanged. The fact that a great calamity was impending over the nation was, even at that time, acknowledged by every intelligent citizen. It had already made itself felt throughout the length and breadth of the land. The necessary consequences of the alarm thus produced were most deplorable. Imports fell off with a rapidity never known before, except in time of war, in the history of our foreign commerce. The Treasury was unexpectedly left without means, which it had reasonably counted upon, to meet the public engagements. Trade was paralysed, manu factures stopped, the best public securities suddenly sunk in the market, every species of property de preciated more or less, and thousands of poor men, who depended upon their daily labour for their daily bread, were turned out of employment. " I deeply regret that I am not able to give you any information upon the state of the Union which is more satisfactory than what I was then obliged to communicate. On the contrary, matters are still worse at present than they then were. When Congress met a strong hope pervaded the whole public mind that some amicable adjustment of the subject would be speedily made by the representatives of the States, which might re store peace between the conflicting sec tions of the country. That hope has been diminished by every hour of delay, and as the pros pect of a bloodless settlement fades away the public distress becomes more and more aggravated. As an evidence of this, it is only necessary to say the Treasury notes authorised by the Act of the 17th of December last were advertised according to law, and that no responsible bidder offered to take any considerable sum at par at a lower rate of interest than 12 per cent. From these facts it appears that in a Govern ment organised like ours, domestic strife, or even a well-grounded fear of civil hostilities, is more de structive of our public and private interests than the most formidable foreign war. " In my annual message I expressed the convic tion, which I have long deliberately held, and which recent reflection has only tended to deepen and confirm, that no State has the right by its own act to secede from the Union, or throw off its federal obligations at pleasure. I declared my opinion that, even if that right existed, and should be exercised by any State of the confederacy, the executive de partment of this Government had no authority under the constitution to recognise its validity by acknowledging the independence of such State. This left me no alternative, as the chief executive officer under the Constitution of the limited States, but to collect the public revenues and protect the public property, so far as this might be practicable under existing laws. This is still my purpose. My province is to execute—not to make the laws. It be longs tb Congress exclusively to repeal, modify, or enlarge their provisions to meet exigencies as they may occur. I possess no dispensing power. I cer tainly had no right to make aggressive war upon any State, and I am perfectly satisfied that the Con stitution has wisely withheld that power even from Congress. But the right and the duty to use mili tary force defensively against those who resist the Federal officers in the execution of their legal func tions and against those who assail the property of t he Federal Government, is clear and undeniable. But the dangerous and hostile attitude of the States towards each other has already far transcended and cast into the shade the ordinary executive duties already provided for by law, and has assumed such vast and alarming proportions as to place the subject entirely above and beyond executive con trol. The fact cannot be disguised that we are in the midst of a great revolution. Therefore I com mend the question to Congress, as the only human tribunal under Providence possessing the power to meet the existing emergency. To them exclusively belongs the power to d e clare war or to au th or i se the employment of military force in all cases con templated by the constitution, and they alone pos sess the power to remove all the grievances which might lead to war, and to sepure peace and union to this distracted country. On them, and on them alone, rests the responsibility. The Union is a Yother fathers for their sacred d e tr s i p i e s p t, d l: n ft ts b , y an o d ur n e r v ev er ol d u ld io a n n a. y r people inherit so rich a legacy. It has rendered us pros perous in peace and triumphant in war. The national flag has floated in glory over every sea, and under its shadow American citizens have found protection and respect in all lands beneath the sun. If we descend to considerations of purely material interest, when, in the history of all time, has a confederacy been bound together by such strong ties of mutual interest ? Each portion of it is dependent upon all, and all upon eaeh portion for prosperity and domestic security. Free trade throughout the whole supplies the wants of one portion from the productions of another, and scatters wealth everywhere. The great planting and farming States require the aid of the commer cial and navigating States to send their productions to domestic and foreign markets, and furnish the naval power to render their transportation secure against all hostile attacks. "Should the Union perish in the midst of the f p o r r e e s t e a n s t t e e o x f c i thete m e u n u t v w e r e s a h l a s v u e ffe a r l n e ad y had g which sad would result from its destruction. The calamity would be severe in every portion of the Union, and would be quite as great, to say the least, in the Southern as in the Northern States. " The greatest aggravation of the evil, and that which would place us in the most unfavourable light both before the world and posterity, is, as I am firmly convinced that the secession movement has been chiefly based upon misapprehension at the South of the sentiments of the majority in several of the northern States. Let the question be an swered from the political assemblies to the ballot box, and the people themselves would speedily redress the serious grievances which the South have suffered. But, in heaven's name, let the trial be made before we plunge into an armed conflict upon the mere assumption that there is no other alterna tive. Time is a great conservative power. Let us pause at the momentous point, and afford the peo ple, both of the North and South, an opportunity for reflection. Would that South Carolina had been convinced of this truth before her precipitate action. I therefore appeal through you to the people of the country to declare in their might that the Union must and shall be preserved by all constitutional means. I most earnestly recommend that you de vote y ourselves to the question, how this can be accomplished in peace. All other questions, when compared with this, sink into insignificance. The present is no time for palliatives. Prompt action is required. A delay in Congress to prescribe or recommend a distinct and practical proposition for conciliation may drive us to a point from which it will be almost impossible to recede. A common ground on which conciliation and harmony may be produced is surely not unattainable. The proposi tion to compromise by letting the North have ex clusive control of the territory above a certain line, and to give Southern institutions protection below that line, ought to receive universal approbation. In itself, indeed, it may not be entirely satisfactory, but when the alternative is between reasonable con cession on both sides and destruction of the Union, it is an imputation on the patriotism of Congress to assert that its members will hesitate for a moment. Even now the danger is upon us. iln several States which have not yet seceded the forts, arse nals, and magazines of the United States have been seized. This is by far the most serious step which has been taken since the commence ment of the troubles. This public property has long been left without garrisons and troops for its protection, because no person doubted its security under the flag of the country in any State of the Union. Besides, our small army has scarcely been sufficient to guard our remote frontiers against Indian incursions. The seizure of this property, from all appearances, has been purely aggressive, and not in resistance to any attempt to coerce a State or States to remain in the Union. At the beginning of these unhappy troubles I determined that no act of mine should increase the excitement in either section of the country. If the political conflict were to end in civil war, it was my deter mined purpose not to commence it, nor to furnish an excuse for it by any act of the Government. My opinion remains unchanged, that justice as well as sound policy requires us still to seek a peaceful solution of the questions at issue between the North and the South. Entertaining this conviction, I refrained even from sending reinforcements to Major Anderson, who commanded the forts of Charleston harbour, until an absolute necessity for doing so should make itself apparent, lest it might be regarded as a menace of military coercion, and thus furnish a provocation, or at least a pretext, for an outbreak on the part of South Carolina. No neces sity for these reinforcements seemed to exist. I was assured by distinguishedupright gentlemen of South Carolina that no attack on Major Anderson d w e a s rien of t e nded , b the State ut that, u t on h o r e the s, a contrary , s muchit as i was t w t a h s e mine, to avoid the fatal consequences which must eventually follow a military collision. And here I deem it proper to submit f or your information copies of a communication dated December 28, 1860, addressed to me by R. W. Barnwell, J. H. Adams, and James L. Orr, Commissioners of South Carolina, with the accompanying documents, and copies of my answer thereto, dated December 31. In further explanation of Major Anderson's it re moval from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, is proper to state that after my answer to the South Carolina Commissioners the War Department received a letter from that gallant officer, dated December 27, 1860, the day after his movement, from which the following is an extract : " I will add as my opinion that many things convinced me that the authorities of the State designed to proceed to a hostile act (evidently referring to the orders, dated December 11, of the late Secretary at War). Under this impression I could not hesitate that it was my solemn duty to move my command from a fort which we could not probably have held longer than 48 or 60 hours to this one, where my power of resistance is increased to a very great degree.' " It will be recollected that the concluding part of the order was in the following words : " ' The smallness of your force will not permit you, perhaps, to occupy more than one of the three forts; but an attack on or attempt to take posses sion of either one of them will be regarded as an act of hostility, and you may then put your com mand into either of them which you may deem most proper to increase its power of resistance. You are also authorised to take similar defensive steps when ever you have tangible evidence of a design to proceed to a hostile act.' " It is said that serious apprehensions are to some extent entertained, in which I do not share, that the peace of this district may be disturbed before the 4th of March next. In any event, it will be my duty to preserve it, and this duty shall be per formed. " In conclusion, it may be permitted to me to remark that I have often warned my countrymen of the dangers which now surround us. This may be the last time I shall refer to the subject officially. I feel that my duty has b ee n f a ithfully, though it may be imperfectly performed, and whatever the result may be I shall carry to my grave the con sciousness that I at least meant well for my country. "JAMES BUCHANAN. " Washington City, Jan. 8." A discussion ensued, Senator Davis, of Mississippi, taking exception to the President's tone, defending the South Carolina Commissioners, and moving that their letter to the President should be read ; his motion was carried by 36 to 13. Mr. HOWARD (of Michigan) moved that the message be referred to a special committee of five, with instructions to inquire whether any executive officers of the United States have been, or are now treating or holding communication with any per son or persons for the transfer of forts and other property ; whether any demand for their surrender has been made, and by whom and what answer has been given ; whether any officer or officers have en tered into any pledge not to send reinforcements of troops to the harbour of Charleston, and if so, when, where, by whom, and on what considera tions ; whether the custom-house, post-office, or arsenal at Charleston have been seized, by whom held in possession ; whether any revenue cutter has been seized, and whether any efforts have been made to recover it. The committee have power to send for persons and papers, and report from time to time such facts as may be required by the national honour, &c. Mr. HOUSTON (Ala.) raised the point that such instructions were against the rules. Mr. HOWARD (Md.) replied, and moved the pre. vious question. Mr. CRAWFORD (Ga.) said there was no cause for excitement. They had passed beyond that point. VOICES—There is no excitement ; we are calm. Mr. CRAWFORD continued—Men should be calm, and understand the line on which they are going. He ineffectually sought to offer a substitute for the resolution. Mr. GARNET 'desired to have the President's Message considered in the committee of the whole on the state of the Union. Mr. PHELPS (of Mo.) remarked that the Presi dent informed them that they were in the midst of a revolution, inviting the adoption of such mea sures as 'may avert civil war.

The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions. dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period lon , preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in I some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach tic he medical profession. Those who may have a suspon that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chronic embitterment by permanent content.
