PAYING FOR THE WHISTLE.
The expense oil the house ofrepresentatiyes of the
States are estimated at $4,000 day. The bank
rupt bill has been debated 80 days consequently
that discussion in the house alone has cost the nation
S6o000l 1t is true, that some, but not much other
business has been transacted in the mean time The
house generally sit about four hours in eaoh day
its expences therefore about $500 per hour If an
orator speaks two hours his speech cost, $1,000
if three, S 500-if four hours, $4,000! what speech
delivered on this question, be said to have b. en-
worth to the nation $500? We are n en-
emies to free discussion; but hate that system Of
Sheeoh mailing, in vogue at Washington-where it
seems to be the ambition OF every meuber young
and old, to make speech on every important ques-
tion and also to make the harangue as long as pos.
sible on all occasions.

KINGS EVIL
We have lately heard from person who stated
herself to be personally acquainted with the fact, OF
for this affecting disease, the particulars Of
which we conceive it our duty to communicate to
the public, without yenturng an opinion whether
the complaint was genuine pseudal, or, If the for
mer, its cure attributable to the supposed remedy
or some other cause.-About ten years ago, young
man. aged about % years, and afflicted with the dis
ease to great degree, arrived here from Scotland.
He had in vain EN- ,.loyed the best physicians in
Great Britain and on the continent, none OF whom
could cure him and, on his arrival in this city,
had actually nine running sores in his neck, thar
his existence had become burthensome to him. 1t
so happened, that the person with whom he lodged
had one evening brought from town some pitch for
la domesi, purpose, and either reasoning from its
medical properties in other cases or Gas our inlor-
mant thinks, but appears to very improbable)
through merrlment' told the man pitch plaster
would certainly cure him. The latter consented
the plaster applied and consequence was
lexcrucating pain during "a hours, and SO close
adhesion oft that it was impossible TO remove it
without torture approachlngto hat of martyrdom.
But, in nine days, it spontaneously dropped off
the sores healed up, and sAce then he has expe-
renced not the slightest symptom of its return He
is now robust, healthy man. and may be Seen every
day driving cart in the streets of this city.
Animal Instinct We do not think the records of
animal instinct ever contained more extraordinary
instance than we are about to relate, and ter the
truth whereof we pledge ourselves. A lew day
since, MIR Joseph Lane. of Fascobe in the parish
LOT Ashletworth in this county, on his return home
turned his horse into field in which it had been
accustomed to Craze. lew days before this. the
horse had been shod all tours, but unluckily had
been punched in the shoeing in one loot. In the
morning Mr. Lane missed his horse, and caused an
actlve search to be made in the vicinity where the
following singular circumstances TRANSFERRED! The
