British CtOths.-From enc of the most respectable dealers in cloths, we learn, (says the Baltimore American') that English cloths of the spurious or logUood dye, have found their way into this mar ket. There is no doubt, we learn, that they came from the same source through which they have been heretofore intoduc- ed into New York and Boston. The spurious or logwood dyed cloths, after be- ing made up and exposed to the air for a short time, become of a claret or dirty rcd color, and exhibit shabby appearance Our informant, in order to show the difference between the genuine and spurious dyes, applied, in our presence, the test of aqua-fortis, to several pieces of cloth of each kind.-The effect na every. instance was, that the indigo remained unchanged, while the haywood dye was destroyed and turned to scarlet hue. These spurious cloths, from the cheapness of the dye, are sold at low rate, but to the consumer they will always prove a dear bargain.
 We have in our pocket-book, specimene of the cloths, that were submitted 10 the test above spoken of. The spurious dyes are turned scarlet. All who deal in John Bulls goods ought to carry a small bottle of. 0quG- fortis with them.-It will often bring JOhn out, with his red coat upon him instead of the blue-the true blue" which he would pass upon us. -NiIes.

Congress, during their last session, pas- sel an act to extend the time of obtaining Bounty Lands due thesRevontionary off, cers and soldiers, and their heirs.
 The provisions of the act are: That those only who enlisted tn serve during the war, are entitled to the lands or the heirs ot such who were killed in action, and who have not received their lands in any way whatever.
 There are no doubt many soldiers and heirs, who have not received their just dues, from ignorance of their claims. The land IS now valuable, being in the state of Ohio, and would be of great benefit to the legal claimants. It will be an act of Justice and benevolence if editors of newspapers in the states of New-York, Vermont, and New-Hampshire, will insert this article in their papers for the information and bene- it of those concerned. Aplication can be made to Mr. John Ogden Dey, of the city of Albany, who will render every as- slstance, having the necessary forms and instructions to facilitate these claims.

Dr. MELLEN, Sir-the cause of humanity demands of me to give the following state ment: My wife had for six years been in a decline and pronounced by her Physicians to be in consumptiye state, and was attended by a severe pain in her side, with Cough &. difficulty of breathing. She was reduced so low as to be unable to get from her bed to the fire without aid. All hopes of her recovery had long been given up. In this situation, was prevailed upon, as a last possible resort yet without any hopes of success, to make use of Anderson's Cough Drops" She com menced the use of them in February last and after using two bottles, to the astonishment of all, in the month of May following the health of my wife was entirely restored, and since which, her health and strength were perhaps never better. Feeling deep interest that the public in general may resort to the same remedy, when their friends and relatives are apparently, or evidently on the brink of the grave,- to rescue them from from the same. You are at liberty to publish the above.
 I am respectfully, &c.
 JAMES H. STYLES. Rhine5eck, Dutckess co. (N. Y.) Nou. 8. 1926. This is to certify that the subscriber was brought very low by splitting blood, attended with cough and catarrh. and that nothing afforded me real relief until com Menced ta- hiuS AHucEooH Noubh DtoPa, tHc oSo oi which were the means in the hand of God of restoring me again to a comfortable state of health.
 And do further certify that the wife of Mir. Nathan Huntington, living in the same place was afflicted with very bad cough for num- Der of years, and that in 1823 she was redu- ced so low that it was thought she must soon he in her grave, as she was scarcely able to walk from her bed to the fire, when she com menced taking Andersen's Cough Drops, the use of which, in short time so far restored her, that she was soon able to do good days work. can cheerfully recommend this med icine to the public.

From the Hartford Times. MORNING IN SPRING. >

I1OW sweet tue IdEOScape! MOrnlnS IWlne Her tresses round the brow of day, And bright mists O'er the forest pines,
 Like happy spirits float away, To revel'On the mountains crown, @ Whence the glad stream comes shoutin down
 Through woods and rocks that hang on high Like clouds against the deep blue sky. The woven sounds of bird and stream,
 Are stealing beautiful and deep Upon the spirit, like dream
 Of music on the hour of sleep: And gently from the dewy bowers, Soft murmurs, like the breath of flowers, Are winding through the purple grove, And blending with the notes of Love. z The streams in veins of beauty flow; The sunrise gale Der flower and tree So lightly breathes, it scarce would blow
 fairy bark upon the sea;s. It comes so fresh, sOwiid, so sweet, It draws the heart from its retreat To ningle with the gIories born In the first holy light of morn. The lake, unrufffed by the breeze, c-
 Smiles in its sweet unbrOken rest, As it were dreaming ofthe trees
 And blossoms pictured on its breast; Its depths are glowing bright and fair, And the deep skies seem hallowcd there, Soft trembling-as they felt the thrill .. Of music echoing from the hill. A cloud is on the sky above,
 And calmly OCT the young years blue, ''Tis coming. like thing of Love,
 To gladden. in the rising dew; .., . It's white waves with the sunlight blend, - And gentle Spirits seem to bend From its unroiing folds, to hear The glad sounds in our joyous sphere. The living soulof beauty fills
 The air with glorious visions-bright, They finger round the sunny hills
 And wander in the clear blue light; Of to the breathing heaven they go-- Along the earth they live and glow Shed Der the lake their happy smiles, And beckon to its glittering Isles. Oh! at this hour-when air and earth
 Are gushing Love, and Joy. and Light, And songs ofgladness halthe birth
 Of all that's beautiful and bright; Each heart beats high-each thought is blow To fame-the Spirit drinks the tone Of brighter worlds, and melts away In visions of Eternal day

POPULATION-POWER--WEALTH. It has been we'll observed that the fol- lowing lines of Southey, deserve to be written in diamonds" They apply not to England only--but to the labourinq classes in every country, and in the pres- ent state of things and the actual progress ofpopulation in some of our states, with the comparative decline of power and wealth in others, are applicable to the U- uited States.-England, indeed is over- burthened with taxes and monopolies-but ve have room enough for the {. thousandth generation ;' and it is the class of persons alluded to, that must plant and support our banner on the shores of our country. or bear it round the world.-Nikes.
 "Train up thy children, England, In the ways of frighteousness--and feed them
 WIh the bread of wholesome doc Where hast thou mnes-but in their industry? Thy bulwarks where--but in their breasts T.
 thy might,
 But in their arms? ...
 Shall not their NUMBERS, therefore, be thy
 weolth - .: Thy strength,-thy po'cer,-thy sqtety,--and
 thy pride? .l,.
 o grief then-grief and shame, If in this dourishing land there should be
 dwellings,
 Where the newborn babe doth bring unto
 its parents soul
 No joy !-where squallid poverty receives
 it at the birth,
 And, on her withered knees, Gives it the scanty bread of discontent!
