THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grosamith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. Thee..

manner."—Medical Circular.

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE. _ _

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate'
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which arc very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at lls., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Prout
and Co., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand, London.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
resting information, while those who have already encouraged
this new system will derive additional advantage if they
observe some of the practical regulations which the writer
endeavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1861.
" The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of
an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as lie has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of die practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . We may Justly say that if a man ever :feels
himself regenerated and new made, it is on coming out of:a
Turkish Bath."—Era, Oct. 13, 1861.

price than they could have been obtained at if the
Government naval officers had been employed to
purchase them.

The proceedings in Congress on ian. 15 and 16
were unimportant.

On the 17th, in the Senate, the joint resolution
from the house declaratory of the purpose of Con-
gress to impose taxes which will yield 150,000,000
of revenue was adopted, Mr. Powell alone voting
against it.

In the House of Representatives Mr. Stevens re-
ported the West Point Academy Appropriation, and
stated that he had been informed that numerous
libelling letter writers had been finding fault with
the Committee of Ways and Means for not reporting
an equitable tax bill. The committee, however, he
said, were gathering facts, and worked for hours
after attending to business in the house. He desired
to say the criticisms and libels of the press would
not make them move one minute faster than a due
regard to public interests would permit.
The Fortification Appropriation Bill as originally
reported was passed. It appropriates between five
and six millions dollars for completion of defensive
works already commenced.

No definite financial plan appears yet to have
been determined upon by the Government.
A bill is now before Congress punishing with
death persons guilty of fraud in army contracts.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Times states
that Mr. Cobden has written a letter to General
Scott, expressing his opinion that if the rebellion is
not crushed before April next, England will be com-
pelled by the popular clamour of the manufacturing
interests to open the cotton ports.
The New York Tribune of the 19th publishes the
following :

" Washington, Jan. 17.

" Very important news from Mexico has been re-
ceived. Before the adjournment of Congress Juarez
formed a new and stronger Cabinet which gave
general satisfaction. It is constituted as follow :
State, General Doblado : Interior, Senor Yerran ;
War, General Hinojosa ; Finance, Senor Gonzalez
Escheverria.

"The Department of Public Works is absorbed
in that of Finance, and the Department of Justice in
that of the Interior.

" Senor Yerran was formerly Governor of Aguas-
calientes, and held the portfolio of the Interior in
Comonfort's administration.

" The new Minister of War, General Hinojosa,
played a distinguished part in the last revolution.

The Minister of Finance is a new man from
State Zacatecas.

" Soon after his appointment, General Doblado,
in the name of his government, issued a proclama-
tion, closing the port of Vera Cruz, then in posses-
sion of the Spaniards, to foreign trade, recommend-
ing the governors of states to respect the rights of
foreign residents, and give them as little cause of
complaint as possible, increasing the regular army
to 52,000 men, and calling for as many volunteers
as the Government can properly furnish from their
respective states. It is believed that under this call
150,000 troops will soon be in the field. Juarez
was vested with full dictatorial power by Congress
before its adjournment, and is heartily supported
by the people.
" It is believed the Spaniards will find few allies
in the country. Comonfort has offered his
services to the Government, which has accepted
them. A general amnesty has been offered to the
church party. The reactionists who still remain
have almost all been subdued, or voluntarily yielded
their allegiance. Marquez and Zuloaga, with a few
followers, are still in the mountains. Lozada was
killed in battle, and his forces were destroyed by
Governor Ogazon, of the State of Jalisco. Bentron
and Cajiga have been captured, and their forces
dispersed or taken prisoners.
" Thus supplied with men, the Government has
provided means for the war by laying two direct
taxes, which although heavy, were well received
by the people, who are desirous, at any cost, of
repelling the invader.
" Very likely the first battle will be at Tampico,
which Juarez has determined to defend against the
expected attack of the French."
The following is from the New York Times of the
19th ult. :

"We have from Washington this morning the
first indication that a forward movement of the
grand army of the Potomac may be looked for to
occur soon. A general order has been issued by
Gen. M'Clellan notifying all persons engaged in the
military service to hold themselves in readiness.
The fact that about 900 Government waggons,
drawn by four and six horses, were reviewed in
Washington yesterday is also significant.
"The Burnside expedition, however it may task
our ingenuity to determine its destination, is evi-
dently a much greater puzzle to the enemy, besides
being a great source of apprehension. The papers
of Virginia and North Carolina exhibit a general
uneasiness on the subject. If the preparations at
Fortress Monroe indicate that Norfolk is the place
aimed at, our own curiosity, as well as that of the
rebels, will soon be satisfied. Whether their
apprehensions will be allayed as readily is another
question."
A despatch, dated 12 miles from Columbus, from
the correspondent of the Chicago Times, states that
on the 16th a heavy reconnaissance was made by
General Grant, which advanced to within five miles
of Columbus without discovering the enemy. The
result of the reconnaissance was a reliable know-
ledge of all the routes leading out of Columbus to-
wards Blandville and other towns. Deserters from
the rebels represent that the force at Columbus is
40,000 men, but this is doubtless an exaggeration.
From other authority it is ascertained that the
rebels were in a state of great excitement on ac-
count of Gen. Grant's movement down the river.

have been exaggerated. There was a movement of
some 7,000 troops as far as Mayfield Creek, about
half-way between Cairo and Columbus ; and prepa-
rations are going on rapidly for the general advance
down the river. But it will be some time vet be-
fore things are ready for the assault on Columbus.
Another and minor, though hardly less important
movement than that, is evidently on foot.
The Wheeling Intelligencer learns by passengers
arriving from Paterson's Creek on the preceding
evening, that rebels to the number of 2,500 had oc-
cupied Romney. On the night of the evacuation
of Romney 400 sick had to be removed, which ac-
counts for the want of transportation, and the neces-
sity of destroying tents and provisions.
We learn from the Upper Potomac that Jackson
and his army have disappeared entirely from the
vicinity of Hancock, and it is believed they have
retired to Winchester. The whole river line is re-
ported quiet.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
writing from Columbia, Adair County, Kentucky,
under date of Jan. 10, notices the departure of Gen.
Thomas, with six or seven regiments, for Somerset,
or in the pursuit of Zollicoffer. The Fifth Ken-
tucky,Col. Beatty, were at Bucksville, on the Cum-
berland River, 20 miles below Columbia.
