ed by the above scheme, is eminently cnti.
tied TO the favor and patronage of the cit.
zens of Baltimore. The establishment OF a
Medical College will unquestionably hyyes
beneficial influence on the general literary
character Of our CITY: on it perhaps maybe
hereafter cnsrafted the other Colleges, and
thus an university be constituted.
Il viii however give us other important
adv ,ntages--it viii promote spirit olin.
yestigation in the faculty, it viii induce
young men Of talents to establish themselves
in our city and thereby permanently secure
to this community the best aid tina. canba
afforded by the med'c>i pro sion Ii may
also be proper to remark tn2tif this school
should prosper, as IS anticipated, it viii
cause large sums to be expended Annually
in this city, which would otherwise be dis
burseo in other places
We presume that those gentlemen who
are anxious Tor the advancement OF the M
terests of Baltimore, viii give us their suP'
port on the above considerations.

selves at the me time that rncy encouraSe.

A person was Yesterday appiehendsd and
examined before the Mayor aud ore. of the
Justices, and although the charge OF positive
guilt could not be proved against him, yet we
must say that the circumstances disclosed at.
his examination, rendered his character sns-
picious, to. say the least, Notwithstanding his
denial of being in town on Monday, when the
first Of these robberies was committed, It was
sufficiently proved that he was not Only in 4 5
lexandria but very near, if not, at the scene
OF action; and in all the subsequent cases shs
pFacticability of his being an actor was un-
questionable.

Hahn's Anti. Bilious Pills.

For the prevention and cure of bilious
and malignant Fevers.
The Proprietor has every possible
reason that can result from extensive
experience, Tor believing, that dose
OF these Pills, taken oace in every two
weeks, during the prevalence OF our
bilious fevers, will prove an intalhbie
preventative and further, that IN the
earlier stages of those diseases. their
use will very generally succeed IN re-
storing health, and frequently IN cases
esteemed desperate and beyond the
power Of common remedies
They are escellently adapted to car
ry off superfluous bile, and prevent Its
morbid secretions; to restore and a.
mend the appetite to produce Tree
perspiration, and thereof prevent colds,
which are often of fatal consequences
A dose never fails to remove cold'
if taken on its first appearance they
are, celebrated for removing habitual
eostiyencss, sickness al the stomach &
severe headache and ought to ne ia
ken by all persons on a change OF CHI
mate.
In sickly timcs or places, dose
should be taken every fortnight, and il
there is reason to apprehend personal
dang r. it may betaken once a week
