SaR.-There are many countries on the haol'
table globe where salt has never yet been found,
and whose commercial facilities being extreme
lyHmited, the inhabitants can only indulge them
selves with it as luxury. This is particularly
the case in the interior Of Africa. =" 1t would"
says Mungo Park, "appear strange to an Eu-
ropean, TO see child suck piece of rock-salt
asst it we're sugar This, however, have fire.
quenty seen, although the poorer class of in
habtants are so very rarely INDUCED with this
precious article, tha, TO say man eats salt with
his provisions, is the same as saying he is rich
man. have suffered much Inconvenience my
self from the scarcity of this article. The long
use of vegetable food creates SO painful a
longing for salt, that no words can sufficiently
describe it."

Afr MANYeAN


 " 6 Ire extremely egsatifed to iears, that the unfaverable statements made n sev- eral oi ffie newspapers, regarding the health oi the venerable Ex-President Madison are somewhat exaggerated. He does fpt ap- pear to be Tn immediate danger, although he IS extfemely feeble, and labouring under a disease ot 2 somewhat complicated daarac- ter, which prevents linn from iEae4sslsina the active intellectual and corporeal efforts, to which he has been, through long life, accustomed. On this account. it has been en]elned him not 10 harass bimself by n- ordinate attentionto the numerous questions ot interest necessarily propounded to him regarding the constitutional history of the eonutryy of which refer to the various ab. sorbing scenes of which he has formed so important q part, and oa many of which his voice IS esteemed .oracular. At the ad- vanced age of eighty-three, and upwards, and afflicted with rheumatism in his hands, 1t need scarcely be said that the exerton demanded in replying to such inquiries must be lrksome, even as respects the mere man. nai part, yet many questions require an- sWers, which Ii complete, would extend to volumes. For all this kind of labour bis feeble frame IS inadequate. and when the fact IS once known, 1t will doubtless be no longer expected of him. Every patriot and philanthropist burns with glow ofvenera- tion towards this illustrious beneiactor of his country and his race and will panse be- fore he requests of him any exertion of mind or body, which might tend even in the most remote degree, to curtail the existence, or diminish the comforts of one whose whole life has been so ardenfy devoted to the good of humanity.

| The following are further particulars of the Philadelphia Riots, which were renewed on Thursday evening, l4th Aug. 1t is believed quiet is restored.
 From the National Gazette.
 Last evening body of rioters evaded the vigilance of the Police and Military force on duty, and made an attack on a frame building, used as house of reli- gious worship, IT the rear of Second street, below the Wharton market, which they en- tirely tore down. Hence the rioters pro- Ceeded to Vernon-street, where they react ed the atrocities of Tuesday and N ed- nesday evenings. Three houses occupied by colored people were attacked, the resi- dents put to flight, and the doors, shutters, sashes and furniture broken and scattered. The further progress of outrage was pre- vented, as the assailants found the next place they had devotedto destruction, guard ed by the Police.
 Yesterday the streets, the scenes of the outrages committed on Tuesday and We'd nesday evenings, presented countless evil denees of the brutal ferocity of the actors. The wrecks of window sashes, doors, man. ties, furniture, bedding, and every thing which missiles, clubs and hands could de- face, break or destroy, remained broken or scattered over the streets or pavements. In some. instances the unolfending and un- suspecting residents fled from their dwell llngs half clad, with their infants in their arms, and sought refuge in the houses of the neighbouring white inhabitants. Nor was this effected in every case without per- sonal injury. One poor female, frightened from her bed by the ye!ls of the mob, fled, half dressed, sucking at her breast and another infant at her side. to seek protec- ten ;;; q sehooi-fiouse iIl ihe vicinity, and where tho master was featuring to all even- ing class. In her flight her infant was wounded on the head, and dragging the bleeding boy by the hand, she burst into the school-house frantic with terror, and implored refuge and protection from the assemblage within. The particulars of one case may supply the history of many perhaps all, as no case IS yet reported as an attack having been invited or provoked by the residents of the dwelling assaulted destroyed Gho lie character oi the the nlob may be known by the circumstances, that the gift of strong drink arrested its lawless course, and turned the tide of its vengeance over less fortune house and victim. In small street, some of the residents, deter mined to defend their dwellings,, remained
