never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects until few months past
and having. then, been sadly disappointed in eve
instance of using them, began to conclude that you
had made your fortune and abandoned their manufac
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands, Under this
impression, 1 accidentally saw advertisement of
yours in New York newspaper, designating spurious
limitations from your manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions.
and that in instance were the limitations signed with
pen and ink although perfect copy in every other
respect Finding those had without this test, be.

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on Thursday, Mr.. CLAY, in pre-
senting memorial, took occasion to say that
it is now more than twelve months since we had
Secretary of the Treasury appointed in the
Constitutional form by the President, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate,
and that six months Of the session had now pas
sed without the Senate's receiving the nomina-
ton of the gentleman who acts as Secretary of
the Treasury.
The resolution submitted by Mr.. WRIGHT, to
inquire into the pfopriety Of providing compen-
sation for the Hon. Elisha r. Potter, while at.

From the Petersburg Lstelligencer Of THURSDAY
ANOTHER TORNADO.

I ltbecomes our painful duty to record the des
tructlve march of second tornado. Yester-
day afternoon the clouds began to gather in the
northwest, and about 6 O'Clock, assumed an aW~
ful and threatening appearance. The lightning
was very vivid, and the rain fell in torrents; the
wind, although strong enough to carry off the
limbs Of trees, did no damage in town; but the
same roaring noise, which accompanied the
late whirlwind, was distinctly heard, denoting
calamity to Chesterfield similar to that which so
recently befel the neighboring counties on this
side of the AppomattoX. Only few particu~
lars have reached u.s. falling far short, we fear,
Of the full extent of the damage.
The Richmond stage did not arrive until nine
O'Clock, the fallen timber in the road having OBJ
structed its passage. The passagengers state
that the storm, where it crossed the turnpike,
extended from Basis Hill to Swift Creek dis
lance of nearly three miles, prostrating every
thing within its sweep. At Swift Creek several
houses were blown down.
At the plantation of Mrs. Archer, the over
seer's house, stable, barns, &C. were blown down
the overseer severely wounded, and one Oh
two members Of his family, and servant, in
jurod.
The plantations of Mrs. Lynch, Mr.. Walthali
Hatcher Mr.. Otway P. Hare, Mr.. William R.
Hill, and several others, suffered severely from
the destruction of the ut-houses, fences tim.
Der, &c. but we have not heard Of any person
al injury except at Mrs. Archers.
The passengers in the Richmond stage had
very narrow escape-the wind having cross
ed the road a few minutes before the stage
reached the scene Of its destruction.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.

SIR:-I observed in your last paper commn-
nication signed ga. b." stating that there is
a prospect of the People being qualified, as in
other places, to elect their own Mayor. l do
sincerely hope that this may turn out to be the
case.
And as an alteration is to be made in the
charter, which should never be done but for
substantial purposes, hope the word to17n may
be stricken out, and that the word city may be
substituted-so as to read the City Of Aterdn-
dria. This alteration should be made for the
sake of consistency, if for no other cause; as il
frequently happens in matters of legislation,
this place is called first by one and then by the
other appellation.
Yours, very respectfully, Z. u.

NEW YORK MARKET, June 4.

Fvour.-The market for Wheat Flour contn-
ues heavy, and prices are tending downwards.
Most descriptions may be considered IA cts.
less than Saturday. There have been sales of
common brands of Western Canal at s4 81 a
8S Ohio via Erie Canal, S4 Is. In Southern
the sales have been hardly sufficient to estab-
lish prices Rye has advanced Commercial.
BOSTON MARKET--MAY 81.
Fourth consequence of the continuance Of
unfavorable winds, very few vessels have come
in, and the business transactions are very IN
considerable: Southern Flour is extremely dull
of sale at slight reduction on prices, and the
supplies Of Genessee are not large; the expec
tation of early arrivals, however, combined with
a scarcity of money, has produced less ANNA
ton in the market for this description.
