REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITS.

The Vice-President having announced the special
order, being the report of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury on the subject of the removal of the deposits,
Mr. Benton resumed his remarks in support of
the measure, and in reply to Mr. Clay, and continued
speaking until 3 o'clock, when, %%ithout coming to a
conclusion, he gave way to a motion to adjourn.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
PRESENTS FROM FOREIGN POWERS.

The chair presented to the House the following
message from the President of the United States,
received by the hands of Major Donelson

"TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Washineton, Jan. 6.

" I communicate to Congress an tx•ract of a letter re-
cently received from James R. Leib, C,nsul of the United
States at Tangier, by which it appears that that officer
has been induced to receive from the Emperor of Morocco
a present of a lion and two horses, which he holds as he-
lon in to the United S►ates. There being no funds at the
disposal of the Executive applicable to the objects stated
by Mr. Leib, I submit the whole subject to the considera-
tion of C.mtgress, f.d. such direction as in their wisdom
may seem proper. I hive directed instructions to be given
to all our ministers and agents abroad, requiring that, in
future, unless previously authorized by Congress, they will
not, tinder any circumstances, accept presents of any de-
scription from any foreign State.
" I deem it proper rn this occasion to invite the atten•
tion of Congress to the presents which have heretofore
been made to our public officers, and which hove been
deposited, under the orders of the Governmen►, in the
Department of State. These articles are altogether useless
to the Government, and the care and the preservrtir n of
them in the Department of State are attended with consi-
derable inconvenience.

" T. at provision of the constitution which forbids any
officer, without the consent of Congress, to accept anti•
present from any foreign Power, may be considered
as having been sati•fitd by the surrender of the articles to
the Government, and they might now be disposed of by
Congress to ihnse flpr whom they were originally intended,
or to th.ir heirs, wilt obvious propriety in both cases, and
in the Litter would be received as grateful memorials of
the character of the parent.
" As. under the positive order now given, similar pre
Rents cannot hereafter he received, even for the purpose of
being placed at vhe disposal of the Government, I recom-
mend to Congr.ss m anthoriz' by law th ‘t the articles
already in the Department of State shall be delivered to
the persons to whom they were originally presented, if
living, and to the heirs of such as may have died.
" ANDREW JACKSON."

ThP message was referred to the Committee on
foreign relations; and the Ilcu,e then adjourned.

(From the New York Standard of Jan. 10.)
We have the conclusion of Mr Benton's speech
and a portion of Mr. Binney's. Mr. Wrhs►er gave
novice on Tuesday, that as soon as everybody had
said what they had to say, he should move the re-
f-retire of the Bank subject to the Committee nn
finance. Nothing else of moment transpired in the
Senate on tl.at day, and the time of the House was
occupied by Mr. Binney's speech.

TIC DOLOUREUX.

RETORT OF THE WESTMINSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY.

(From the Medical Jou►nal.)

Mr. Wai•e made some rem irks on Vie treatment
of tic dolnuteux, and of the plan of treatment
adopted by Mr. Scot!, of the London HoQpital,
which was the emFlo) meta of caustic, and which
was reported to have been successful when other
remedies had failed.

In the e. urge of the di-cussion on this subject the
case of the Marquis of Anglesea was referred to by
Mr. Waite and Mr. Costello, and as some erroneous
notions upon th s subject had obtained credence,
Dr. Rypn, who had been consulted, was called upon
for an exploration of the real state of the case.
Dr. Ryan, said he Was induced to make the inquiry
as to the pt-fod the Nohle Marquis was free from
his distressing disorder, as he %Va., aware that he bad
suffered severely from it immediately before he lef:
this country for the continent. With respect to his
(Dr.Ryan':) informing the society of the history of
the M trquis's case, he should have much pleasure
in doing so, bur he felt some hesitation in complying
with the evident wish of the meeting on ethical
grourids only. If the president and members of the
society sanctioned his conduct in stating the outlines
of the c; se, he should be most willing to do so.

Dr. James Johnson observed that he saw no de-
lic,cy in the matter ; the whole profession was
aware of the diseace of the Marquis of Anglesea,
and the ease of a Marquis did not differ from that
of any other man.

The whole society concurred in this opinion.
Dr. Ryan then said that he was one of a great
number who had been consulted in the case of the
Noble Marquis. He would very briefly describe the
outline of his case. Many of the most eminent phy-
sicians and surgeons of this and other countries were
consulted, but, "as a matter of course, took diffe-
rent views of the cause of the malady."* Some con-
sidered it purely nervous; others, that it was excited
by pressure on the facial nerves; more, that it was
caused by concussion of the spire induced by riding
on horseback, an exercise to which the Noble Mar-
quis was extremely partial, and that as the weight
of the body was on one inferior extremity, (the
other having been lost at Waterloo), the spine was
frequently concussed by the plunging of the spirited
horses on which the Noble Marquis was accustomed
to ride, because, whenever this occurred, though
he might have been free from neuralgia for several
days previously, the disorder was instantaneously
excited. It was right to mention that the disorder
was much less severe since S:r James Murray, his
experienced and judicious physician, has discovered
some tumefaction in the abdemen, and successfully
removed it. This arose from two alritre concre•
lions; the nucleus of one was a mercurial 01 co-,
vered ith silver leaf; that of the other was a tea-leaf.
After these were expelled the noble patient sufT red
much less from his complaint than at any former
pt riod since its super vention. Every remedy
hitherto proposed by British or Foreign phy-
sicians was fairly tried, but, unfortunately, with
only temporary benttit. When the noble Mar-
quis was last in London, and on the eve of
rep trfng from this country to the continent, Sir
J.rnes Allurtry and himself (Dr. Ryan) most
nifoure), del:berated upon the case, and he
(Dr. Ryan ) rela•ed some cases of neuralgia
.'hick yielded to the use of strychnine, and read
the 4etails from his note-book to '64 James, who
p- romis .11 to try the remedy. He had not since
heard froth Sr James, but entertained no doubt that
he tried the strychnine. His (Dr. Ry3l.) therefore
thought I hat under the circumstance, it was not qtn e
fair to ascribe the mitigation of the disorder, if any
took place, which he siecerely hoped there had, to
the change of air only.
* These are Dr. Ryan's very words.

I must own I never see a fashionable physician
tanyntetiocsly consulting the pulse of his patient, Or, with
a.silver s;.oon on his tongue, importantly peering down
bts throat, but I feel a desire to exclaim—Why not tell
the p• or gentleman at once, " Sir, you've eaten too much
—you've drank too much—and you've not taken exerei-e
etomeh ?"—That these are the real causes of every One's
Walesa, there can he no greater proof than that those savage
nations who live actively and temperately have only one
di-order—death ! The human frame was not created
imperfect—it is «e ourselves who have made it so—there
exists no donkey in et e,ation so overladen a our stomachs,
and it is because they groan under the weight so cruelly
impo-ed upon thew, th at we are seen driving them hefore
tis in styli herds to one little brunnen. This reminds us
of Voltaire's definition :—" A physici in is an wife?,

form a in racle

Fe. Q uarterly Review.

L °EDO AV,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1834.

We are told that agriculture is the first of
arts, and therefore should be encouraged—that
we can live without manufactures, but we can-
not live without food. But neither can we have
it without paying for it ; and we should be- glad
to know what would be the value of land in
England, if we had no manufactures. There
never has been, there never can he, a country
where the value of land has been increased, or
the price of corn raised, without manufactures.
Look at Poland--regretted Poland ! Her land
cr her corn derive no value from her own de•
mand. She is indebted for any value they have
to the demands of foreigners—of ot,rselves
Prussia, absolute Prussia, is teaching the
les-
sons of wisdom on this head to free states,
With sedulous activity, unremitting zeal, and
unwearied perseverance, she has prosecuted,and,
under many difficulties, has nearly accomplished
the breaking down of restraints upo n commercial
intercourse, presented by the numerous custom-
houses of the petty states around her. Why
has she done this, but to increase her manufac-
tures, and thereby raise the value of the produce
of the land, and increase the value of the land •
itself, which at present fortis almost the only
source of her revenue, as the land did in Eng-
land before she became a manufacturing country?
We talk of taxes, but, with the exception of the
land tax, we know of no tax that is paid by the
landlords or farmers, that is not paid by the rest
of the community. Our landlords and farmers
pay taxes only as consumers, not as receivers of
rent or growers of corn, and even if any tax
were paid by the grower of corn, it
is paid before his rent goes to his land-
lord. And how few are the land-owners
and the growers of corn compared to the agri-
cultural lAbourers, and how few are the agri-
cultural labourers compared to the 3st of the
community. From the increasing demand of
our increasing population for food, the price
of corn must always be high in this country ;
but a high price of corn is the heaviest tax
that is pail, and are we to be the better able
to pay other taxes by increasing the amount
of it ? The increasing demand of our increasing
population is a sure encouragement to the
growth of corn, if' we allow it to operate, as
it never fails to do, in the natural course of
things. We are not content, however, wi;11 a
high price produced by natural causes. We
must attempt to increase it by artificial means,
which fail of their effect in increasing prices,
' but render the whole population, who can
live only by the fruits of their industry,
unable to pay a high price. A high price
we must always pay by reaso❑ of our increasing
demand, but there is this difference between a

high price arising from natural causes, and a high
price attempted by artificial means, that in the
natural state industry is able to bear it, whereas
in an artificial state it is depressed by it, including
the industry of the grain grower as well as the
agricultural labourer ; for the operation of the
corn laws since 1815 has been to drive capital
from the cultivation of the soil, to throw agricul•
tural labour out of employment, to distress one-
third of the population engaged in agriculture,
and, by rendering them unable to purchase the
products of manufacture, to distress the othei.-
two-thirds employed in it, and thereby to compel
our manufacturers to seek abroad a market for
their products which they ought to have at
home; and, after all, how small is our foreign
trade compared to our inland trade. Last year
our exports in declared value amounted only to
36,441,524/., when the gross stun of the taxes
we paid (which arise from our home industry)
were 54,006,558/. ; the gross value of the home
industry which produced it could not be under
500,000,000/. ! ! !

We copy the following paragraph from the
Times of this morning The Dublin Even-
ing Post throws out a very appropriate sugges-
tion, that as Mr. O'CONNELL has made fifteen
thousand pounds of the Rent this year, he ought
to give his victim, Mr. BARRETT, of the Pilot,
at least ten per cent. on that amount. This
would be only justice, but not at all characteris-
tic of Mr. O'CONNELL?' We heartily con-
cur in the propriety of this hint, and it is for
DANIEL'S own sake we do so. It will give the
Great Paid a glorious opportunity of setting
himself right with those disbelieving creatures who
think he resorts to patriotism as a trade—less to
further the interests of Ireland than to replenish
his own coffers. We know there are such sceptics
in the world. And truly we cannot wonder at
it: The Repeal agitation, oddly enough, al-
ways sets in with the Rent; and DANIEL is
never so combustible, or so inflamed with pa-
triotic ardour, as in autumn and the early part of
winter, just at the very season when the begging-
box is going about from chapel to chapel
throughout the country. Then indeed—as we
have lately had many egregious prools—the
Great Paid holds forth with an earnestness and
volubility that convinces many people that the
chink of the coppers, not the cries of his im-
poverished countrymen, must be ringing in his
imagination. But this is nothing new. Brass
was always the main source and inspiration of
Mr. O'CoNNELL's eloquence.
Now, however, he has a noble opportunity of
neutralizing slander by showing his disinterested-
ness. He was always a great man. He can now
prove that he is a generous one. Mr. BAR-
RETT is his victim—his proxy in gaol.
What more natural, then—what more imperative
than that the Liber.l:-.or should share with him
some portion of his splendid national annuity ?
RICHARD BARRETTand DANIEL O'CONNELL
are both patriots; but surely it is not just that
the one should get all the cash, and the other
all the imprisonments ! Fair play is a jewel ; so
hand over, DANIEL, a couple of cool thousands
to your coadjutor in Repeal. Nay, no shrinking,
man I Do the thing handsomely, and we will
agree to think you more like PHOCION and
the patriots of the old school, than we ever
before thought you.
Alas! we fear the Times will be right in its
supposition, and that O'CONNELL will weep—
pray—declaim—visit—soothe—do any thing,
in short, for BARRETT—but give him cash.
We can imagine him, like the Jew in Ivanhoe,
struggling hard between self-interest and gene-
rosity ; wishing to be liberal, yet lacking the
courage ; now thinking of poor RICHARD in
gaol, and now of the balance in his banker's
hands ; at one moment sitting valorously down
with the intention of transmitting a check to his
victim ; the next, tearing the paper into a thou-
sand fragwentF, buttoning up his breeches
pockets, and exclaiming, like old Milnwood,
with a sigh, " By G—d, I canna do it !"

According to accounts contained in the Lis-
bon Chronica, the situation of SANTAREM
must, by this time, be quite desperate. "By
intelligence dated the 16th," says this journal,
" we learn that the epidemic continues to make
very great ravages. Hunger and the want of
clothing become daily more and more felt
by the rebels, and their cavalry has fallen off
much, in consequence of bad treatment and
insufficient food. Since the 14th more than
twenty horses have died daily." The same paper
contains a document found among the papers of
the Viscount de SANTAREM, which would
seem to prove that the Representative of Eng-
land at the Court of France, concurred with
the POPE'S Nuncio, and the Russian and Sar-
dinian Ministers, in expressing approbation of
the Miguelite Government.

Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's at Patras,
dated sth January :

" The Greek Government has published a decree re-
specting their shipping, in which peculiar privileges are
granted to the National fl tg, viz., the exclusive right of
tlae transport of articles of internal commerce and industry
from one part of the kingdom to another. The imposi-
tion of heavier dues of shipping and port dues for :,reign
vessels and goods imported and exported in foreien vessels,
will pay a higher duty than by Greek vessels. The pro-
amble to this Act makes some allusion to the principles
of recipr:city as regards those stares who admit Greek
vessels to the same privileges as their own, hot it is so
obscure as to admit of various in'erpletations."
" PATRAS, JAN. 5.—A severe gale of wind on the 15th
ult., it is reported, prove I fatal to 18 vessels in the Archi-
pelago, and, amongst others, an English merchant vessel
was wrecked at Tinos."

We last week noticed a desperate affray that
had taken place near Ravensworth Cas:le, between a
party of poachers and some of the servants of the noble
family who resile there, by which John Bell, a farm
servant, was severely wounded. The unfortunate man
expired on Saturday night. An inquest has since been
held at Trench 11111, before Mr. Michael Hall, coroner,
mid a verdict returned of .‘ Wilful isariol,,r against some
person or persons unknown." It is thought there could
be no: fewer than 16 or 17 concerned in this affair.—
