Health Of Warrington.

1t is apprehendcd by sonc of the
citizens of the metropolis, that The
CRBAr CITY will get bad name, in
refped to health, in confsouencc Of
the fummer FELTON, of Cougrefs.-
Great alarU took place from the cir
cumitance tina, Mr.. Davenport, an
old member from Connecticut, WAS
taken violently 6ck the moment Of
his arrival. Mr.. Davenport, howcy-
er, though fevercly attacked for the
moment, foon recovered. and was a.
Bic to take his feat the hrit day of
the FELTON,. People may be fck in
any place. One fwallow does nor
make fummers nor does one Gck
perion make Eek city. l: would
be wrong to- condemn the air of
Wellington too iOon, Especially as
the fpring has been mutually cold
and damp. Should the FELTON, be
prolonged till Augaif, we have no
doubt that the ile4ly b2ms If Septen-
Ter, as horace called them, would be
anticipated at leaR a month, and the
corps of Congre fional civilians would
have as large " fick lih," in pro-
portion 70 its number, as any batral-
ion Of the army. But TIE FELTON, 10

In Bofwel's life of Johnfon, that
great moraliit has given his opinion
of Rouileau, which is memorable,
not only for the uncommon energy
of the expreffion, but for its truth
and Juice.
"Having mentioned that had paf-
ed fome time with Roaiieau, in his
wild retreat, and having quoted fome
remarks made by MIR. Wilkes, with
whom had fpent many pleafant
hours in Italy, Johnfon faid, farcaiti-
cally, I" 1t Teens, Sir, you, have kept
very good company abroad, with

dear Sir, you don't call Rouiicau bad
company. Do you really think him
a bad man ?" Johnfon--" Sir, if
you are talking jefingly Of this, I
don't talk with you. Ifyou mean to
be ferrous, l think him one of the
WORT of men /; rafcal, who ought
to be hunted out of fociety, as he has
been. Three or four nations have
expelled him and it is flame that
he is protected in this country" Bof-
Welt don't deny but that bis now

gree in which the provihons of the
act relating to the other public armed

1t will ref with the Judgment of
Congrefs to decide how far the change
in our external profpeets may au-
thorize any modification of the laws,
relating to the army and navy eifab-
lilhnents.
The works of defence for our fea-
port towns and harbors, have pro-
ceeded with as much activity, as the
feafon Of the year and other circum-
frances would admit. 1t is necef1ary,
however, to fate, that the sppropri-
ations hitherto made being found to
be deficient, a further proviGon will
claim the early confederation of Con-
kgrefs.
E. The whole of the eight per cent.
ftoxk remaining due by the United
States, amounting to FIVE millions
three hundred thouiand dollars, had
been reiNburied on the lait day of
the year 1893. And on the 6rff day
of April laft,the fun in the treafury
exceeded nine and half millions of
dollars. This together with the re-
ceip,s OF the current year on account
of former revenue bonds, will proba-
bly, be nearly, if not altogether fulfil
cient, to defray the expences of the
year. But the fuipen6on of exports,
and the coniequent deereafe Of i'm
portations, during the Taft twelve
months, will neeefarily cauie a great
dimunition in the receipts of the year
1870. After that year, ihould our
foreign relations be undiiturbed, the
revenue will again be more than COM
menfurate to all the expenditures.
Aware of the inconvenience of a
protraaed feflion at the prelent leaion
of the year, l forbear to call the at
tention of the Legislature to any mat
tiers not particularly urgent. 1t re-
mains therefore only to allure you of
the fidelity and alacrity, with which
fhall cooperate for the welfare and
Happiness Of our country and to
