Dat OF the shoals Of s,Gdents who
are admitted TO the practice Of law and
medicine, not one in twenty renders
himselfuseful to society. What an im.
mense loss Is here to the community at
large. Their labers is ttsus entirely
thrown away, and not belonging to The
productive class, they necessarily must
subsist upon the labors of others, as if
they came into the world for no other
purpose, than as Juveuai terms it, fru.
ges consumer devour the fruits of
the earth. The learned professions
are as fatal 10 the American youth as
Scylla and CharybdiS were 10 the an
cient mariners, and parents are blind to
the interests of their children when
they oblige them to embark in these
hazardous pursuits. No business can
be more honorable than that " hich is
productive, not of coin, bot of the ac-
tual necessaries OF life; none can be
more happy than that which is procuI
negotiiS-removed from the perpiexi-
ties of traffic. Ia word agricultural
and manufacturing pursuits should be
more attended to- ankln GaS.

gentleman, who aspires to full share of the
importance OF a member OF the Faculty, passes
by the name Of Doctor CHARLES NANNuF-
FILE, late OF Hagerstown. Competent Judges
have pronounced HIM ignorant of both The the
CRY and practice of medicine-and yet, BY his
| ntsuHera5ic impudence, he has imposed upon
many, procured some patients, and perhaps
exercised his professional privilege in Dispatch
ing few. He is entirely destitute OF money;
and yet an Indian Nabob might in vain ATTEMPT

Dreadful Accident-We learn,
from the Poisdam paper of the Dist ult.
that a few days ago, a raft, which
was descending to Montreal, was for
eed, by the wind and current, into
that part of the rapids calledthe Lost
Channel" and was stove to pieces. -
Nineteen persons were on board, sew
enteen Of whom were drowned. We
have often been surprised, in passing
along the banks of the ST. Lawrence
to find, that many, who travel for
pleasure, will descend the river in
boats, passing through the rapids, in
preference TO going by the stage and
steam boats. Com. Adr.

The beauty of our domestic mapcl
has long been acknowledged, having
obtained a conspicuous place in the or
namental finish of our fancy articles of
furniture. TITS known to be susceptible
of as fine polish as any wood; and we
are glad to be informative hope from
good authority-that it is even in New
York superseding, by the decree of
fashion, and Of course by the common
consent of taste, the use Of mahogany.
1t is said that the maple is now beginning
to be generally adopted in the manufac-
turc of our tables and chairs, and also
in finishing the interior of our most
costly buildings. We know nothing
more beautiful than some of the speci-
mems of the eurled maple, which we
have seen worked up in ladies' work
stands; and it will be a fit subject of
coDgratulation, when we may be allow
ed, without disobedience to good taste,

to those of st. Domingo, for the ma
terials OF beauty and comfort.

ment this morning, at their office in this
city. The only particulars that we have
learned in relation to this stoppage, is,
that when Mr.. Nissan, the cashier,
came to the Office this morning, he
found that the money which be expected
to find where he had deposited it, had
been removed; consequently, he was
compelled to refuse payment, and close
the doors Com. .fdu.
