We regret to state, that two fatal accidents
occurred in This city on Saturday. A fine boy,
about IL years of age, son of Mr.. Stewart,
coach-maker, while playing in the street, was
struck TO the ground by horse drawing cart
load oflumber, and receiving the blow on the
left temple died instantly. On the same even
ing, Mr.. BLAeDEN, the master stone-mason at
the Capitol, an Alderman ofthe fifth ward, and
an cid and respectable inhabitant of this city,
while standing under bank of earth where the
workmen were digging out the foundation for
the new building to be added 10 the Capitol, *
which had been followed out for that purpose,
was crushed by the sudden falling in of the mass
above his head, and was so much INJURED that
he died in short time afterwards.

SCRATCHING.

A most singular ard fatal occurrence took
place few days ago at Hodgshrove near Fall
mer. man in the employ of Mr.. Fielder,
while engaged in sowing seeds, scratched a
pimpe on his nose, which caused The eruption
to bleed proiusely; his nose and face then com
menced swelling to such degree that he could
scarcely STE his way home In about half an
hour afterwards he lost his sight; and the sweh-
ing continuing, in spite Of every attempt to
prevent or mitigate it, to make head, at length
pervaded his whole system, and three days al
forwards the poor man expired

CALIAO.

A letter from an officer on board the y 5.
ship Peacock, dated Calso Bay, Feb lltt,
speaking of the surrender of the Castles says
"The garrison and inhabitants Of Callao were
reduced 10 a deplorab!e state, almost entirely
wi,hou, food, and in state Of star' alton: dead
bodies were found in the houses and streets,
that had died Of hunger. The Marquis Tore
tagle, his wife and family, have either been kill
ed, or starved 10 death. From the extreme
want Of food in his family, he gave Gen. Rodil
a medal presented TO him by the Peruvian TO
yernmeni, willis, President Of Peru, valued at
thirty thousand dollars for half barrel OF beef,
and small quantity Of rice. 1t is asceriaine
as fact that the Horses and Males they were
compelled TO kill. to prevent their dying OF star"

LITERARY

The proprictors Of the United States Litcra-
ry Gazette and OF the New-York Review have
made an arrangement, by which those two
works are TO be united, and hereafter published
simultaneously in New-York and Boston Mir
Bryant is interested in the work as proprietor,
and will also be joint editor. These two works
have been in considerable degree similar in
design and execution, and as there is nothing
local in the purpose of either, there is perhaps
10 good reason why there should be more than
one of the kind published in the country. The
arrangement, we hope, will be one Of utility to
the public and profit to the proprietors.

dcine have induced number of persons to initiate it
in various ways Some selling sarsaparela and O.

molasses, &c. making three bottles out of one-thus
retaining some Gifts virtues. These limitations and adul
terons have in many instances, protracted the suffer
ings of patients in where the genuine medicine
would have proved instantly eficacious therefore
deemit duty owe the public, to acquaint them,
that it is impossible, from the very nature of its const
tuens, tobe discovered by chemical analysis; and con-
sequently, that all other mixtures represented to be
mine and sold SUCH fraudulent and base imposi-
tons, calculated to deceive the ignorant and unwary

Dr. Gibson Professor of Surgery in the University of
Pennsylvania, in his Lecture of Monday last spoke in
high terms of Swam's Panacea. He remarked that he
had found it decdly beneficial in chronic cases ofSyph
lis, &c. and that he had known patients who had Ia
bored under this disease for length of lime, and tried
almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure,
with very little if any effect, but who after using the
Panacea recovered quickly and entirely. He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated salivations
had produced only the mischief incident the use of
mercury. He spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personal.
y acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor and in
the support even of whole families until cure was eff.
| fected. The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
ing the Panacea of Swain, but that he thought it duty
| which he owed to suffering humanity not to withhold
the expression of his opinion and experience gifts eff
cacious character. A STUDENT.
~ B. We think it our duty to say, that are sur.
prsed to find that number of spurious mixtures have
been got up lately, in imitation of this valuable
medy, and that several strangers have been injured by
the mistake. We would advise all persons who are in
want Of such remedy, to apply where the genuine is
known to be had MEDICVS.

Swaim's Panacea.

From the Philadelphia Evening Postl
HAVING made the proper inquiry, we can vouch for
III the accuracy Of the statement contained in the
subjoned communication. No one should hesitate to
bear just evidence to the merits of medicine like that
of Mr.. SWANS, which would seem to be very differ
ent from the nostrums of the day.
