The following message was received fion: the President of the United States " To the Senate and House of Repreeentstivs! : " Gentlemen,--The accompanying gold, medal, commemorative of the delivery of the Liheretor President of the Republic of Colombia from the daggers of assassins on the night of the 25th of September last, has been offered for my acceptance _ by that G o ve rnment . Th e respect which I e,;ter - tain, as well for the character of the Liberator Presi dent as for the people and GoVernment over whic he presides, renders this mark of their reghrd most ' gratifying to my feelings. But lam p:even'ted!frc•m complying with their wishes, by toe proviion of our constitution, forbidding the acceptance of pi•e sents from foreign States by the officers of the United States ; and it is therefore paced at the dis , posal of Congress. " The powerful influence in the affairs of the country, which the sacrifices and heroic deeds of General Bolivar have acquired for him, cree:e s air anxiety as to his future course, in which the flirtele of liberal institutions throughout the world rieeoly participate. The favourab!e estimate which .I ly;re formed of the nature of the services rendered by him, and of his personal character, impresses me with the strongest confidence, that his conduce, in the present condition of his count r y, w ill h e suc h as may best promot e her true interest, and best secure his own permanent fame. " I deem the present a suitable occasion to inform you, that shortly after my communication to Con gress, at the opening of the Session, despatches_ w er e , received from Mr. Moore, the Envoy Extreorditeey and Mieister Pledpotentiary of the Ueited to Colombia, stating that he had succeeded in 0! - tamping the assent of the Council of Ministers to tie: allowance of the claims of our citizens upon eSet Government, in the cases of the brig Josephine :eel her cargo. and the schooner Ranger and part of her cargo. An official copy of the Convention subse quently entered into between Mr. Moore and the Se• cretary of Foreign Affairs, providing for the final settlement of those claims, has just been received at the Department of State. By en additional article of this Convention, the claim in the case of the brig Morris is suspended until further information is obtained by the Colombian Government from the Court at Careccas; and Mr. Moore euticiplees its early and satisfactory adjustment. " The convention only wanted the rutificatioa of the Liberator President, who was, at the time, absent from Bogota, to be bindin g up on th e C o i mn - Wan Government. Although these claims are not comparatively of a large amount, yet the prompt and equitable manner in which the npplication of I r , Moore in behalf of our injured citizens was met by that Government entitles its conduct to our appro bation, and promises well for the future relations of the two countries. " It gives me pleasure to add air expression of toy entire satisfaction with the conduct of Mr. Moore since his arrival at Bogota. Thejudgmeet and dis cretion evinced by him on occasions of ranch interest and delicacy,—the assiduity displayed in bringing so nearly to a conclusion, within five weeks rafter the arrival, claims which had been pending for years,— and the promptitude and capacity with which he has entered upon other and mere important portions of his official duty, are calculated to inspire strong con fidence in his future usefulness.

APPHUN, GLAS GOW. sold by SIMPKIN and MARSHALL, and WHITTAKER, and Co., LONDON. PRICEI 7D. recently published by Mr. ill'Phun, bookseller, of Glasgow,. As many of our readers, after perusal, may be apt, to con clude, as we at first did, that ' The Confessions of a Femi cide' is a work of pure fiction, it is incurnbant on us to ex plain the reasons which have induced , us to arrive at a different conclusion. Mr. M'Phun is a gentleman of great respectahility, and we felt convinced that he would not de liberately palm upon the publie, as true, a horrid and ap palling story, which had no foundation in fact. There would have been no excuse for such conduct, as be posses,ed the means of detecting the imposture, by ascertainin ; whether any murder had taken place in Scotland, twenty years ago, under the extraordinary circumstances described in Mr. M'Phun's narrative. He might also, with very little trouble, have traced out the register of the alleged trial. These were the reasons that led us to conclude that the story, shocking and unnatural as it is, could not wholly be destitute of foundation in fact. Wealio thought, that if the story had been entirely a romance, the author would not have ventured to make its character-so thorough-paced a villain; fur, however strange'the assertion may appear, it is a melancholy truth, that more unnatural crimes have been perpetrated in reality than any writer of fiction has had the hardihood to introduce into romance. If any author were to found a story upon the circumstance of a father cutting off his owa child's head, his readers would , turn with disgust from so gratuitous an outrage upon feel ing and probability. Sheen, however, did in reality cut off the head of his own child ; and did that ail, too, in a sane state of mind, if we may so conclude from the Judge suticring him, after his attempt, to go at large. " In conclusion, we assure our readers, that the main incident related in the confessions is true. Motives of deli oacy have induced the writer to substitute Stirling in place of Glasgow, and to take some other liberties with the narrative ; but the murder was committed ; the murderer was tried, and he escaped, as related, by his servant. swearing an alibi."—Liverpool Mercury.

BUTLER'S CAJEPUT OPODELDOC. Cajeput Oil, which is the basis of this Opodeldoc, has beer long esteemed on the Continent, as a remedy for Chronic Rheumatism, Sp tsmodie Affections, Chilblains, Palsy, Stillness, and Enlargement of the Joints, Sprains, Bruises, and Deafness; and the experience of late years, in England, proves that it merits the high character given of it by the most eminent of the profession, in those ob stinate complaints. Being combined in the form of Opo deldoc, it is rendered more penetrating, and consequently much more efficacious us an external application. Rubbed upon the skin, by means of flannel, or the warm hand, it allays morbid irritation of nerves, invigorates the ab sorbents, and accelerates the circulation. Sold in Bottles, at Is.

PYRAMID OF CHEoPs.---Of the Pyramids of Egypt, the largest that of Cheops, is a square of 740 feet, and its height 461, being 24 feet higher than St. Peter's at Rome, and 117 feet higher than St. Paul's. The quantity of stone which it contains is calculated at six millions of tons, which is three times that employed in the breakwater at Plymouth, and has been calculated by a French engineer to be sufficient to build a wall round the whole of France ten feet high, and one foot broad. Its area at the base is, as near as may be, that of Lincoln's inn-fields. The following is an extract of a letter, dated Perth, Swag, River, Sept. 10, 1929 :—" The expedition under Captain STIRLING arrived here on the Slat of May, after a delightful passage, 23 (lays nom ate Cape, and 95 days in all from EnJam!, exclusive of the stoppage at the Cape. We found here his Majesty's ship Challenger, which had been sent here, previous to our leaving England to take possession of the coast. The day after out arrival the mechanics, with a party of men from the Challenger, landed on Garden Island, where Captain STIRLING had decided on our remaining, during the winter ntont! s, to put up temporary houses with canvass roofs, and by their aid we were all enabled to land about the 10th of Juste. I ant happy to say, up to the present moment no sickness has occurred. Several exploring parties have been sent away to the main land, and each have reported favourably us to the appearance of the country. They proceeded as far up the river as where it lost its salt water taste, pronouncing it tit for all purposes of agricultnre. The principal part of our establishment ha s b een remove d to t h e ma i n , di had weather being evid e ntly a t an en d ; and the mecha n i c , and soldiers ar e erec ti ng b arrac k s , w here the t own o f Perth is to be built, about t e n miles up the river. Th e isseeetotearlypllel comple is tely beyondfrimore e y ba" descr iption t thanful lcan any I ever s aw , an d give you. The coil below Perth is rather sandy, but yields the finest her bage ; but above Perth the good soil comme nces, o f which there is a great variety. The climate is delightful, and with the exception of these sea winds which prevail iu winter along the coast and Garden Island, it is as beauti ful a country as a mm would wish to live in ; but thetst. winds will not be much felt in the interior, nor in Perth, w h en we have proper dweninp to protect W." (From the Upper Canada Gazette Extraordivary, day, January 8.) This day, at two o'clock, his Excelleny the Lieutenant-Governor proceeded in the usual state, • from the Government House to the Chatnher of the Honourable the Legislative Council, where being arrived and seated on the throne, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent with a me';sage from his Excellency to the House of Assembly, commanding their attendance. The Members pre sent being come up accordingly, his Excellency was pleased to open the Session of the Legislature with the following Speech : " Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the house of Assembly, " You are again convened for the despatch of public business; and it will be gratifyin g to me to give effect to the measures which, from your genera! and local knowledge of the colony, may be proposed as conducive to the welfare and prosperity•of the people. " The activity and industry of the agriculturists in all parts of the province, —their efforts to unlock the country, and reach the Lakes with their stuplus produce,—the succe , sful culture introduced its the western townships, —point out the profitable result that may be anticipated from affording proper en couragement to this individual exertion and labour. " Fortunately the difference. of situation of seve ral districts has been equalized by the opening of the Welland canal : the extension of it to the Grand River will complete this first great provin cial enterprise, and will require your immediate sup port and protection. " These improvements must naturally load your attention to the St. Lawrence, and to the manifest advantages that may be derived from pet fecting the navigation in that quarter. " Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " I have directed a statement of the revenue and expenditure of the last year to be laid before you, with the estimate of supplies for the current yeer. " Front the accounts you will perceive that in consequence of the favourable returns of the duties levied under the statute of the 14th George the expellee of the administration of justice, and of that part of the civil establishment not provided for by his Majesty's Government, or by the annual vote of the Imperial Parliament, has been defrayed entirely from those proceeds; and that a consider able balance accruing from the excess of former estimates beyond the expenditure, remains. at the disposal of the Legislature. " The necessity of reforming the Royal Grammar School was evident from your report ut the close of the last session. In establishing a college :at York, under the guidance of able masters, the object which %ve have in view will, I trust, be speedily attained. " The delay that may take place in revising the charter of the University, or in framing one suitable to the province and to the intention of the endow ment, must, in fact, under present circumstances, tend to the advancement of the institution, as it, use depended on the actual state of education in the province. " Dispersed as the population is, over au exten sive territory, a general efficiency in the common 'schools cannot be expected; particularly wiilst the salaries of the masters will not admit of their devot. ing their whole time to their profession. " Honourable Gentlemen, and Gentlemen, " The King's pleasure on the bills reserved has notyet been communicated to me. " I recommend you to examine the acts that may be about to expire. " Your attention will also be drawn to :mother subject of importance, --the exposure of prop: tv, and the facility of depredation in certain di,tricts, and the frequent capital cases of convictions where through the dispensing power of the Crown it is thought advisable to arrest the sentence of the law, notwithstanding the evils that may arise front re peated mitigation, without a system of secondary punishment, or any means of disposing ofoll'enkrs. " With regard to the questions submitted . t o his Majesty's Government, whether difficulties may have occurred in determining, them, or in reermeilitiq. the respective interews with whielt fleeted, th e diligent investigltia a f Lough Which They are passing evinces t 6 earnest tk,ice (.1 Majesty that this portion of his donliuiotrs reap the full bene.q of good laws and Ice:: in•i,tittl clone," " No flattery, boy ! an honest man can't live by't."
