FROM THE ILLINOIS lHTELI1aYNcsR
TOWN OF VANDALIA.

We cannot forbear congratu lating the
people Of the state Of Illinois upon the
healthy situation of their seat Of govern
ment. At this advanced state of the
season, Vandalia is comparatively free
from disease, and we believe there has
been less sickness during the past sum
ncr than in almost any other town oi shr
same population in the western country.
The principal causes of the sickness
which has heretofore prevailed here, arr
now removed. The ponds in the vicinl-
ty of the town have been drained, and the
Improvements which are constantly ma
king will soon place it in prosperous
and honrshing condition. The expense
OF these improvements is provided for b,
the liberalily OF the last legislature, in
granting fifty town lots to the trustees, to
be sold by them. and the avails to be ap-
piled to draining ponds in our vicinity

river opposite the town, which has been
already contracted for, and in construc,

LAuDANUMI.

It seems almost as necessary to keep
the public alive as 10 the dangers incl
dent to the use of this medicine, as it is
to acquaint them with the many serious
accidents which occur from the indis-
Greet use of Fire .4rms. About six
O'Clock in the afternoon of last Tuesday,
child in Lombard street, SIX weeks old,
being indisposed in its bowels, y woman
who was sitting with its mother recon-
mended two drops Of laudanum. The
mother hesitated, but was persuaded to
adopt the method recommended. A lit
tie water was put into tea spoon, aud
the laudanum dropped in and given to
the child. The consequence was, the
child died in about six hours 1t is a
fact which ought to be impressed upon
every one who ever uses OF administers
!audanum, that when it has been laid
away for some time, the spirit evaporatcs
and she opium concentrates, so that two
drops from the bottom ofthe phial, which
has been permitted to evaporate will be
equal to twenty drops just got at the

being sent 10 St. Helena.
PROTEST.

fore men, against the violation OF my
sacred rights, which is committed, in dis
posing by force of my person and my
liberty. | came voluntarily on board
the Bellerophon. / am not prisoner /;
am All inhabitant of England.
From the moment that set foot on
board the Rellerophon, was under the
protection of the English nation. II its
government, in giving TO the Captain OF
the Bellerophun orders to receive me
and my suite, meant only 10 ensnare me,
it has lost its honor and sullied its Rag.
If that act be put into execution, it
will be in vain that the English will
boast of their loyalty, their laws, and
their liberty. British faith will be stain
ed by the hospitality ofthe 3clleraphon.
/ appeal to history to say, whether an
enemy, who, after having during twenty
years made war against the English ma
ton, comes willingly, upon reverse of
fortune, to seek an asylum under the pro-
lection Of her laws, can give a more con-
vincing proof Of his esteem and conf
dcnce; but how have the English re-
Quilted that confidence and such mag
nanimity? They have pretended to hold
OUT friendly hand to that enemy, and
when he committed himseifto their coed
faith, they sacrificed him.

DEAR Notwithstanding that the
Washington will sail this afternoon for
-Nev-Orleans, l seize moment to in
struct you in regard 10 passing events in
this city. An occurrence of yesterday
will probably make some noise, and still
more probably will be misrepresented.
Though not fully possessed OF the fac $
myself, shall, I presume, give you as
correct an account Of the transaction, as
you can receive, upon the instant, from
any other source.
1t having been reported to the AL
Caide, that certain documents affecting
the heirs of Vidal, Formerly, l believe,
Lieut.. Governor of louisiana and re-
lating to a succession of great value, had
been purloincd from his Office, some
time before the transfer of this territory,
he took the testimony relative to the at
fair, and having traced the papers into
the hands Of Captain Domingo Souza, an
officer of the late government, he ap-
piled, by petition, to the governor, for All
order to demand the said papers of Sou
"a, or in case Of denial, to make scare h
for them. The order was granted day
before yesterday, and after some equivo-
cation, Souza produced the documents
and records in question--among which
was the will OF Vidal-and the Alcaide
took an inventory and enumeration OF
them, which he reported to the governor,
who gave an order to Souza to deliver
them up to the Alcaide, to be filed in his
office. This requistion was served up
on Sonza yesterday morning-but i'm
stead of complying with it, he carried the
papers to the house Of the late governor
Callava, and put them into the hands Of
his mayordomo. The persons appoint
ed 10 receive the papers from Souza, re-
turned to the governor with the informa-
ton that he refused to surrender them,
end had pu, them out Of his possession.
Upon their report, Souza was arrested !;
and upon examination confessed the facts
above recited. A demand was then made
upon governor Callava for the papers.
He promised 10 make search for them,
and if found to deliver them. Al the
expiration Of two hours the demand was
renewed, when Callava refused to give
them up, unless they were demanded Of
him in writing, in his capacity OF com
enissioner, and with . message to this ef-
feet he sent two officers in full uniform
TO Gen. Jackson. The general told
$bem he had nothing 10 do with Callavs

taught tho use Of charcoal in purifying
various substances. This led to its APP
plication for thepurpose of freeing honey
from its peculiar flavor, which was at
tended with the completest success
Four pounds of honey being boiled with
two pounds of water, and one OF well
burnt charcoal, on a gentle fire, till the
syrup began TO acquire some degree of
consistency, the charcoal was separated
by s,rainer. The clear syrup being
then boiled till it was of a proper con-
sistency, it was found to be as free from
any disagreeable flavor as syrup OF
sugar.

THE DAIRY.

1t is, perhaps, not generally known,
that the mornings milk of COW, yields
some hundredths more cream than the
evenings, at the same temperature
That MIXED at noon furnishes the best !;
it would, therefore, be of advantage in
making butter and cheese, to employ the
mornings milk, and TO keep the even
ing's for domestic use. In milking
cows, this singular phenomenon is OBJ
served, that the milk obtained from one
and the same milking, differs considera-
bly, in quality; that, contrary TO what
might be expected, the milk first cx-
tractcd is not the best. but that which is
obtained last contains invariably the
largest portion Of cream. The milk OF
one COW, drawn of into five vessels ofthe
came size, and then separately exanin-
ed, gave results as follows -
