Dr. DAV I ESON continues to direct his studies to those dis orders arising front the ten free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only oce,sion a nnuierons halo of nervous ,iffort ions, lint also entails on its viiiari,S all the ener vating imbecilities of old age. In that distsessin e st a te o f de_ bility and deticiencY, whether the consequence of baneful ha bits, excessive drirAing, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that de idly poison. illereury, ruin the constitution, and when ti re great Doctor Swedeur Profes , ,r at Ley den University, he' conferred an invaluable belbleiit upon man kind by the discovery of his grand Panaceh, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the undeviating success in the nest minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the core of which they have been so long celebrate The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their sp , edy introduction into almost every count vv. The certainty with , hich they were continually administered can be attested by many thnesands. 'ln fact, during the !ono conti nental war they were the inseparable - companion and safeguard of the,,soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec tion was entertained. What, medicine can be more appropriate than that which hal given such general satisfaction ? The 1-lvueian Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser humour,,, and in a manner so mild imperceptible as to convince the most se ical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. The neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may he ken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require r, restraint of diet, hiss of time, or hindrance of business. but elect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be ‘,..1.1 to have recourse to the llygeian Pills, fur when taken 'be fore the disease has made its appeare:nee it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting ths proprietor, from the tine of mercury renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against hat dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form's portion of all "Medicine Chests. by sea and land, and ought neverto be omitted by any l•t,sl un a long voyage or joornev. their properties are such hAt neither heat nor cold will injure their qtiality, or prevent . ihe due effects on the constitution.

TuToN, CORINTHIAN ESTABLISHMENT, 65 and 66, Loan STREET. TUE I'RE'IDENT'S MESSAGE. (From the Standard.) When we received the President's Message on Tuesday last, we hastily remarked upon some points which struck us as indi cative of an unfriendly feeling towards - this country, but at the same time acknowledged that we were probably mistaken in our view", inasmuch as none of the native journals of the United States seemed to have adopted it. We find, however that some of the most intelligent journals of this country concur in our first impression—and that impres sion is, w, confess, rather confirmed upon a second perusal of the message. However, the utmost that we apprehend is, that M. Van Bruen may wish to use the present embarra-smeut in our North American affairs as a means for obtaining better terms than otherwise he would upon the disputed b(dundary question—not a very generous nor a wise policy—but stilt some thin': farther from insanity than any scheme for absorbing the Canadas into the United •States. Every intelligent native of the United States with whom we have conversed, or with whose writings ice are acquainted, is fully convinced that the union is already too large—that even independently of the rank ling and itnmedicable slave question, and other like ques tions; it is upon the eve of falling to pieces from its own bulk and weight, and that but for the jealous fear of Eng land in the West Indies, andEm...dand in Canada, the un wieldy and ill-cemented fabric had long since given way. Steam navigation, which serves elsewhere as a conneciing has already separated the eastern and western states—into na tions differing in teefia^ as well as in interest ; while it is noto rious that the hot th-eastern states, which were prepared to sepa•- rate from the whole union at the close of the late war, are ra pidly returning to the same feeling. For the States, then, sup posing them to have the power to do so, to wrest Canada from England, would be to accelerate their own dissolution—to re move the abutment, as it were, of the already tottering arch, and add its but then to the incumbent weight. • . _ Suppose, fora moment, the'Canadas . politically united to the American commonwealth. Whit follows ? Maine, New York, Vermont, and the adjacent states already still - km.l4ly well dis posed to separate f oat the union, a ‘ re at once relieved f r om a ll apprehensions on their northern (frontier—nay, receive a vast accession of homogeneous territory, and are thrown into con tact with a homogeneous population, for the French Canadians would be speedily extinguisheo. Can there be a doubt that the north-eastern states thus possessing both sides of the St. Law tence, and backed by a British population of freemen, who would conlially aid in such an enterprise—can it be doubted, we ask, that these north-eastern states, thus circumstanced, would promptly execute their long-contemplated scheme of separation ? Every intelligent American knows this. 1.11. Van Buren cannot be ignorant that such would be the almost itnme diate elf,!ct of the acquisition of the Canadas by the union. No war of ambition, therefore, is to be feared on that side ; indeed, the interests of Great Britain and the States are identified in the present distribution of territory, or rather that distribution is more advantageous to the States than to Great Britain. EXTENSIVE SMUGGLING IN LONDON The recent discovery of an extraordinsri, and extensive sys tem of smuggling, supposed to have been carried on for many years by certain well known wine and spit it inerctiants in the city, with.the knowledge of and by the connivance of a number of government officcrs, has been the principal subject of discus sion lot the last few days on 'Change, at the several commer cial coffee-houses, and at the Custom House, and by which illicit trade the revenue has been defrauded of custom duties to an enormous amount. As it may be imagined, various rumours are current respecting the affair; lint from information col lected from the most authentic sources in the several depart ments of the establishments of the Custom House, at the ducks, and principal quays. it appears that for the last two or three years certain large thins in the wine and spirit trade, carrying on a milt extensive business, have been in the constant prac tice of importing the finest brandies and other spirits from the continent, which, by the dexterity and connivance of some cus tom officers Stationed at the docks and quays where the spirits had been landed front the vessels, have, after guaging, been de livered to the importers upon the payment of the wine duty of ss. 6d. instead of the proper spirit duty of 225. 6d. per gallon. An agent of the parties, it appears ; recently received - a consign ment of six hogsheads of French brandy, which, by the negli gence of some of the parties concerned, were landed in the Queen's Warehouse on the ground floor of the custom-house; and through this mistake, the whole of the nefarious proceed ings have been happily brought to light. On being admitted to entry us wine, one of the hogsheads was seized, having been found to confain brandy; and on closer inspection, a pecu liarly constructed Wire, of about six i n ches in diameter, was discoYered fixed in the'cask, reaching peipendicularly from the bung, and exiendiug the depth of the cask, which tube was fixed with Wioe, the rema'nder of the caSk . containing brandy; but, the tube tincing leake F, the wine became Mixed with the brandy, which cireumstance led to the discovery and seizure by the gauging ()Meer. Immediately on these facts being commu nicated to the honourable hoard of customs, the commissioners instituted a Striet inquiry int., all the circumstances. One in dividual, when emit:tined lie!'ore-the board, most positively de clared he ha'd witnessed aS touch as £lOO. given in one sum to certain persons, wrists he immed, to induce them to allow the, spit ifs to'be ifelivered as wine. The board of excise Jut vino' been fortirt-prisrresyrr:orr of Oft above-mentioned fact;; - Virl 'the exCisemen having also had similar information, those officers have since been indelativable in their exertions in tracing the spirits to the place or Places in which they were concealed, and had at lenglh sticceeded in discovering the fire hogsheads, which came over with the cask as above stated, and had been and were non daily inakin:z seizures in almost every part of the city. They had also succeeded in seizing 35 cases of brandy a hich had been described as wine in the warrant for pay went of duty. Mulch still remains shrouded in mystery ; and several officers have been suspended, being suspected As having been concerned ii) this transaction as accessories; but it is expected that the whole of the addiftinal particulars will soon be laid be fore the public. • NEWSPAPERS.

Under all circumstances, the prospects both of the merchant and ma nufacturer are much brighter than they were at the termination of the yeat 1836, when the panic occasioned by the prostration of credit in the 4meriea, East India, and China trades; was at its height The commercial accounts received from the United States to the 9th instant, are not so satisfactory as was anticipated. Toe Americans were shipping off their produce rapidly, but they were rather desirous of limiting the amount of their orders for British goods, in consequence of the determination shown by the banks still further to, diminish their issues-. According to the present advises there had been shipped off from the United States since the Ist of October 1a5t573,060 bales of cotton, against 1.14,7UU bales up to the corresponding period of 1836, and against 97,000 bales in 1835. It is mentioned in the private ad vices that - several large amounts of specie had arrived at New York from this country, for the purpose of investments in the cotton and other produce. It appears that the export of specie from this country is going on gradually. The actual exports in the week ending on Thursday last, from the port of London to New York, were 2,25 U ounces of gold, and 8,600 ounces of sil ver. There were several new firms established at New Yolk connected Witt. large mercantile houses in England. Capital to the amount of five* mi:lions-sterling, it is .:asserted, was to be' embarked by these new firms in the American trade. Specie had fallen considerably at New York, the value of British sove reigns being 5 dollars - 13 cents. each, and American gun' at 41. to 5 per cent. prem.. , . The exchange on England had fallen to 10. 3 / 4 II per cent premium. The banks of the United States were still further their issues, which gave much heaviness to commercial transactions. There have not been any extensive bargains entered into this week in the Grain markets, but the factors have held firmly, though the demand was limited, and prices remain wis'hout any material change. In the provincial markets the time degree of langour prevails. Several additional sales have Teen effected for shiptnent to the United States. The most recent advices from thence, however, are not so favourable for czportations of bonded corn, as represented by the previous letters, the prices there having fallen touch more than was expected . In the Money Market there has been this week rather rapid and important fluctuations.- The news received from Canada,. of the progress of the revolt by the French party, hi continued to be the exciting cause of the changes which have 'aken place to the value of Stock From the extreme depression in Con sols, 911, which was realized on this day week, then has been an elevation of about o per cent., the quotation_for thi opening having yesterday again been up to 922, and whiCh was well sus tained until the end of the day. The Bulls' have foen most active in rallying the market, as they had a large atiount at stake, having taken stock at the end of the last actount at prices from 931 to 931, upon which in the event of no rt-action occurring before the settling day, they would have sustained losses to the extent of about two per cent. The publication of the official details of the attacks upon St. Denis and St. C'iarles, by the Royalists, tended very materially to restore confifence in the market, and though the supplies of Stock have or each (lay since been considerable, and money scarce, the price: have been much more firm than at any time within the last tenda),.s.. There are many persons who apprehended from the tune of the message of ,Van Bureu to the Congiess, on the opening if the regular session, on the boundary question, that the good wider standing with this country was likely to be interfered with, and this temporarily influenced the prices on Tuesday, when sales were made in Consols at 911. The value of the other Socks, as well us of Consuls, have since risen about 1 to 1 pet cent. The Three-and- Half per Cents have again been sold at 98i, and Reduced Annuitiei at 914. Bank of England Stock has risen to 205 from '203, and India Stock to 266 from '264. The scarcity. of money has reduced the value of Exchequer Bills from 47 to. 445, and of India Bonds from 28 to 26 premium this week In the Foreign Stock Exchange there has been a grea, deal' of business done this week. The principal variations have been in Brazilian, Portuguese and Dutch Stocks. On the recupt of the news of a revolution in Bahia, and the declaration if the independence of that important section of Brazil, the suck of the latter fell from 79 to 722, and it has only recovered sine to , 76, the account. which was settled yesterday being chief) , at. prices l to 11- per cent. lower. The market for Portoluese Five per Cents fell front 712 to 65, the dividends on t his Stock. being guhranteed by the Brazilian Regency. Up to yegerdav the prices only rallied to 651. The reduction in Dutch Stock was principally ascribed to a rumour that the King of Folland, intended to force an additional amount of Stock into circula tion, but as it is considered probable that the recent diffrences with Belgium will be amicably arranged, Dutch Tw3 and a Half per Cedts have advanced from 522 to 53%, and .he Five per Cents from 99 to 101. in Belgian Stock a rise has also‘ taken place from 991 to 101. The price of Russian and Danish Stock are 1 to I per cent higher than they were (arly in the week, but the American Storlot have realized redu,d prices, Colombia have been sold at 22i, Mexican at 252, audPeruvian at 19. The rise in many of the Railway Shares has been raiid. The London and Birmingham Railway has rose from 150 o 165 or -75-premium, the New Shares from 221 to 27 or 22 premium, the• Great Western from 62 to 671 or 12A premium, the Leighton, from 21 to 44 or 4 discount, the Greenwich from 15 to 16 or 4. discount, the Croydon to 20 or par. The other shares have, risen also, but not in an equal proportion. The Canadt Land, Shares have declined to 25 or par, and British North ikrricattt Bank to 16 or 4 discount. HALF-PAST Twat.vE.— .

Woon, THE Smoakt.—The New York Sunday Morning News , ' of Dec. 3, states, that on the Ist Dec. carne on th e t ria l , Dr. J. Hart versus Mr. Wood, the English vocalist, Dr. Hart is sub-editor of the New York Courier and Inquirer, and in that capacity had made some comments in Mr. Wood, which the* latter resented by cominitting au ast a ult upon the sub-editor in the lobby of the Park Theatre. in justification of his con duct, defendant (Wood) put i n a plea, that he was exasperated in consequence of the plaintiff's writi ng and publishing a num ber of articles which had excited a feeling of hostility against him, and which ultimately drove him from the stage, put his life in jeopardy, and destroyed his Ilrospocts of realising a large sum of muney front the prolessioual X 471 ir'DS of himself and wife; and further, that he was excited to the commission of the assault by the violent and aliusivelanguage used by the plain tiff, in the lobby of the theatre. The jury, however, found a verdict against Mr. Wood, daimues :3,t;00 dollars. The New York Courier and Inquirer adds, "it is fortunate for Mr. Wood that we were noton the jury —thre e times three thousand dollar s would have fallen short of our aw t ird :" / I
