to the Emperor Alexander, With the FIRST
annual report, to which the Emperor made
the following reply in his own writing
To the Direction OF the Bible Society of
the free city OF Frankfort, on the Maine
The letter from this Direction, accom-
panied by the account Of the celebrat ton of
the hrst anniversary, was handed 10 me in
due tine. As the members OF this respsc-
table and salutary institution are DESTROYS
to commune with me concerning thir eXer.
tons and the happy result in the sacred
cause OF humanity, | take pleasure in &C.
knowledging my thankfulness, and 10 ex-
press the sentiments which animate me.
The diffusion OF the Book of The Divine
word, among all nations of The earth, this
new revelation OF the invaluable grace of
Cod the Saviour, towards the human family
evidently aims at the completion Of the
sublime work ofsalvation. Happy he, who
is instrumental in it for he gathers fruit
unto eternal life, that he WHO sows, and he
who reaps, may rejoice together.
lido not merely say, that have found
this subject worthy OF my attention say
more by this, as my most sacred duty,l
am penetrated, because on it essentially
depends the temporal and eternal felicity
of those whom providence has conhded to
my care. The most high, in the ciearsst
manner, works in this thing. And not in
Europe only and in the whole extent of the
Russian Empire is the Lame of Jesus Christ,
cur Saviour and Master, glori6ed, but it
begins TO be gioriied even in the renotest
parts and in all languages of the earth.
The Bible Society OF the free city of
Frankfort, On the Maine, has already dis
tinguished itself by the ardor with which it
contributes towards the dissemination of
The word OF eternal life. lis report is an
undeniable proof ofits zeal.
It IS very pleasing to ne to be able to
declare my respect towards this society 10
general, and particularly to the members of
the Direction. ALEXANDER.

WARNING To CANCER DOCTORS
AT alate!sitting ofthe court at!Portsmouih,
a certain DR.. Evans of Gambia, was SEN
fenced 10 the state prison fore, years. The
story, we understand, is simply this. He
undertook to remove tumor from la
dy's breast" no cure, no pay" The ia
DIV suffered several months torture from
his caustlck, and was dismissed as cured,
with a large open ulcer and her cons;itu-
ton ruined. The doctor sued for his fee
ccntending it vas perfect cure. The de-
mand being unjust, rendered it necessary
for Il i'm to resort to dishonest means to sup
port it. He swore rouudly to every thing
he tho't necessary to substantiate his claim
but unfortunately for the Doctor,he swore
to too much.-He was convicted OF perjury
and sentenced as above.
0-Those needing the Doctors services
will call now at Concord, and what should
recommend him to his numerous customers
he will always be found at home.
1t was co'partner OF the Doctor, as we
are informed, that was fined short time
since three hundred dollars, with costs of
court, for NAL practice, in applying caustic
10 lady's ankle by which the joint was
destroyed.
1t is a subject of congratulation that our
courts OF law begin TO take cosnizance of
this species of crime-that check is about
to be put to class OF men that are pests Of
society, who are daily endanserng the
lives of The people, imposing their secret
nostrums upon the ignorant and creduous,
and are as ignorant Of the nature Of dis
ease, and the use Of suitable remedies, as
the beasts they ride.
