Saturday night, man who called himself Hutch
ins, and said he was sailor, who had just arriv-
ed from New York, in the steam boat, went into
Mr.. Malburn's store, at the corner OF Market and
Lydius street, and declared that he was murder

veral particulars, as to the weapon with which
the murder was done, the disposition which had
been made Of the body, &c. He said that his
conscience troubled him so much that he could
DOT rest, and that he desired to be confined, and
was willing and DESTROYS to expiate his crime on
the sallows. Several gentlemen questioned him,
and he told all the same story without variation.
1t was tn ought best toput him in Jail, and it was
accordingly done On Monday morning, he sand
that he had not killed any one, but that some peo-
pie ia the aforesaid boarding house, had tried to

Gom.-Sir Henry Halford. at the last meet
ing of the College Of Phys ,cians, read paper
detailing the results Of his experience the treat
inent of govt. For the cure Of this disorder, he
declared his dependence to be upon coldchicum.
From proper use of vnous the infusion of the
root he had never seen any but the best effects
arise; and when the mode Of administering this
mediciue, and thereby cutting short the attack
Of sout, is followed up by the use Of the acetous
extract of the same root, he does not think that
the intervals between the attacks are shorter than
they used TO be formerly, when the complaint was
left to patience and flannel. But. granting that
thew are shorter. vet the weight Of three or four
attacks of the disorder, Of three or four days.
continuance each, is scarcely TO be compared with
the pressure Of six weeks painful confinement
in the spring, and one Of equal duration at the
latter end of the year. The President mentioned
that he had been at pains to procure from Con-
stautinople some Of the hermodactyls which are
sold there, and are thought to be the same root as
was recommended for the cure Of govt, so long ago
as the sixth century, by Alexander Of Tralles.
