Colonel Pluck, 10 said TO have returned from New
York to Philadelphia with full pockets, arising from
his exhibition OF himself a; shilling each. The
avern keeper. it is said, took 8l00 day. The
following description of the Colonel's movements
is from the N. Y Courier:
Colonel PucL at VaurtaH -Thi. distinguished
chieitain, agreeably TO announcement made his ap
pearance at Vauxhall last evening AT the close of
the trst part OF the concert, preparations were
made tor his exhibition, by placing three or four
small lamps in front OF box which had been once
occupied as an orchestra; soon alter the gallant
commander made his entree, amid the huzzas and
gratulaons OF the audience, who all crowded around
him IN order to receive some particular mark Of at
tcnon. Many efforts were made on the part of
the spectators TO induce the colonel 10 make speech
hut all without avail to every complimentary ex
preston, John, like good natured soul, said no
hing, but ever and anon gave his nose wipe with
the back part Of his right hand while with the
other he sustained his tremendous torledo; his
chapeau-de-bras was highly ornamented wilhsgame
feathers, horse-trappngs, and curtain tassels a
blue troopers Uniform, evidently too small for John
with b. ace of epaulettes which might have put
held-marsal TO the blush, his principal invest.
ments The loud and repeated calls for speech
from the colonel at length compelled him to rise
but unfortunately for John, although Pluck by name
he had not pluck enough by nature to carry his de
sign into effect. AT length, 6nding all possibility
OF escape excluded without an addr ess, he muster
cd up cou age and addressed the audience in these
words: : Ladies' and gentlemen, / am much
onhsed 10 you tor your company this evening
Good night to you.'' This was followed by a pre
cipitate retreat through the mob into his hiding place
behind the stage. The colonel has his evee at
Morse's, IN the Bowery, from ten in the morning,
unltl ten at night-admitance one shilling.

PHYSICIANS BILLS.

When We consider the expense OF medical edu
cation, and he sacrifices physician is obliged to
make OF case society, and even health, 10 his pro-
iess0p and when add to these, the constant and
painful anxiety which is connected with the impor
liant charge Of he lives Of fellow creatures, and
above all, the ineslimabe value of that blessing
which is the object of his services, hardly know
how it is possible for patient sufficiently and just
iy to reward his physician But when we consider,
on he other hand that sickness depriyes men of
the means OF acquiring money; that it increases
all the expenses Of living and that high charges
often drive patients from regular-b bred phy sicians
to quacks | say when we attend 10 these consider
aions, we should make our charges as moderate as
possible. and conform them to the following state
oi Things
Avoid measu ing your services to your patients
by sStuples, drschms, and ounces. 1 is an ilnber
al mode of charging. On the contrary let the
number and time of your visits the ma ure of YOUR
patients disease, and his rank in his family or soce
~, determine the figures in your accounts tits
certainly just, to charge more Tor curing an apo
plexy, than an intermltting fever. II is equally
just, TO demand more Tor riskng your life by visit
ing patient in contagious fever, than for curing
pleurisY. Y u have likewise q right to be paid
for your anxiety. Charge the same services
therefore, higher, to the master or mistress Of q
family, OF an only son or daughter, who cali forth
all your feelings and industry, than to less impor.
tant members OF family and OF society. II q
rich man demand more frequent visits than are ne
ce,sary and if he impose the restraints of keeping
to hours, by calling in Other physicians to consult
with you upon every uiAng occasion, it will be
just to make him pay accordingly for it. As this
mode of charging is strictly agreeable to reason
and equity, it seldom fails of according with the
reason and sense OF equity Of our patients. Ac
counts made out upon these principles are sedom
complained OF BY them shall only remark upon
thi, subject, that the sooner you send in your ac-
counts alter your patients recovey, the better 1t
is the duty Of physician TO inform his patient Of
the amount OF his obligation to him at leas, once
year Bot there are times when departure from
TINS rule may be necessary. An unexpected mis-
fortune in business, o variety of other accidents.
may deprive patient Of the money he had allotted
to pay his physician. In this case, delicacy and
humanity require that he should not know the
amount OF his debt To his physician, ill time had
bettered his circumstances.
shall only add. under this head, that the poor OF
every description should be the objects of your pc
cniar care. Dr.. Boerhaave used 10 say, " they
ssre hia best Patients because God was their pay.
