From the Providence Courier.

Mr.. EDIToR-ln the Providence Jour
nal Of the 39h ultimo, there appeared an
article. stating that in England, (mark the
expressloh,) that man named Thomas La
Mott had been tried for murder, for causing
the death of Mary X. Russell, by admins
tering Morrson's pills. Morrison's pills are
unknown to me-but the evident design of
the editors of that paper was, to impress on
the minds of the public that said La Mot,
was tried for murder, for administering Nor
ison's pills to Mary r. Russell, who died in
consequence of taking said pills.
Now, this charge pronounce to be en-
tirely destitute of ,rath, and similar to 9TH
ers of the same import before published in
the same paper at sundry times, without
a shadow of evidence to support them-and
whether the present account was conjured
up in their own imagnations, or taken from
any other paper, renders it no less libel.
Have the editors of that paper ever learnt
that Mr.. Morrison has recently recovered of
n printer in England heavy damages for
publishing similar libelf Ii not, they
may ere long learn 1t to their sorrow.
What liberal and high minded men those
editors are, who, merely because | with
drew my advertising from their paper, have
ever since sought every opportunity to cast
a stigma on a medicine that stands arrival
led in the world.
But suppose, for arguments sake, that
one person in ten thousand who have used
IMorison's pills, has died in consequence Of
taking ,hem,-(and which is one more
than believe ever did die by taking then,)
and on that one a post mortem examina-
ton took place, when it was found that tho
intestiues were infamed-what proportion,
let me ask the learned NJ. ID. editor of the
Journal, would that one case bear to the
thousands who are poisoned with mercury
and opium.
III It were necessary 10 prove the InnO-
cent effects of Norisons pills, could pro-
duce an abundance Of witnesses who have
taken from ten to fifteen pills daily, from
three TO twelve months in succession, which
instead of producing death, produced health.
The author of this did, himself, about
one year since, in consequence OF very
severe attack, take eighty Of the No. p'l''
in four days, which, instead OF producing
death, produced perfec, health, and ieit my
purse much heavier at the expiration OF
four days, than ! presume 1t would have
been at the expiration of as many weeks,
had employed the editor Of the Providence
! Bu, the circumstance Of the learned doc.
tor, of the Escvlspian School bringing all
I ,heir artillery to bear on the Hygeisn pills
mus, appear evident to discerning public
tina, they have more TO fear from the .ypsr-
!isr effiesey of MosisOs'. H1sg,.. UM-

There is no end 10 the troubles that beSet the
wings Mr. Van Buren, is scarcely seated in the
chair of state, before they begin TO fall out about
his successor They see nothing around them but
despo,ism and bankruptcy; and instead oil uniting
together to kill the one and cure the other, they
quarrel among themselves about the man who shall
have the honor Of being their prominent candidate
for defeat in The next presidential contest, and a.
bout the time when il will be expedent to propose
HIM to the people for their suflrages.
The friends of Mir Webster, have already hung
on, their banner on the outward WALL" the vera

star to the whigs-haS hoisted the flag of Henry
CLAY: the Albany Evening Journal clings 10 the
pe,ticoat hero whilst the New York Courier and
Enauirer-whose valiant editor the redoub'ablc
Col Webb, is the best personi6ca,ion OF modern
whiggery-denounce these early nominations as
i'll advised and alike destructive 10 the hopes OF the
nominees, and of the party with whom they are as

feel the influence of principles equally pervadin'
all portions Of the party, can the wings reasonably
entertain the remoest prospect Of success. Never
until the ambition oftheir leading men is restrain

MONEY MARKET.
MONDAY. JUNE IL.

Much sensibil,y and uneasiness yet ex-
ist in Wall street. Failures still take place
and stocks fall. The suspension of specie
payment was secretly urged upon the bank
Tor the purpose of shielding from casualty
all those behind the curtain, but it is very
doubtful whether the measure will succeed.
The banks, in the face Of a strong current,
of public Indignation, dare not expand their
issues, or venture upon an irredeemsble pa
per currency. Public sentiment, in time
Of peace and prosperity, will never tolerate
paper money. Every day the conduct of
the banks and those who counselled them
to suspend, are getting more unpopular
In spite Of the general dullness Of trade
and the immense failure which have al
ready taken place, there is large mass OF
engagements connected with the tore,sn
trade, Which have yet to feet the rebound OF
the pressure from England. The last pm

LATER FROM ENGLAND.

We had on Friday three arrival, with la
ter dates from England. The London
packet ship Samson, Captain SruRGEss,
which sailed from Portsmouth on the S,h
ulIImo-the Liverpool packet ship 81. An
dre", Capt. THOMPSON, which sailed from
that port on the 9th ultimo, and the shin
Sdbind, Captain Cook, from Greenock.
which left the Clyde on the 18th Of the
same month.
The accounts we have received by these
arrivals, are from London of the Stb, and
Liverpool Of the 9th of May, and i, is with
regret we add, their complexion as regards
the state OF the money market and trade, is
extremely gloomy. The Bank of England
It appears, has again been compelled to
come forward to support one or more of the
American Houses, III the expectation that
remittance to them would be forthcoming
from this country-an expectation which
we unfortunately know has been disap-
pointed. 1t is useless to speculate upon the
probable consequences. The East India
and China Houses in London seem to la
Dor under as serious embarrassment as the
American, which must necessarily render
the continued Intervention of the Bank to
uphold the totering credit of both more diff
ficult. There is however, one favorable cir
cumstancc, which is, that the value Of gold
is less on the continent of Europe than it is
in England.-That institution need not
therefore siop its issues from an apprehen-
sion of demand for specie, it however as
suredly will not, we think, continue its as
sis,ance unless the government consent to
hold it harmless, it cannot indeed do it in
justice to the proprietors of its stock.
The Packet Ship Oxford had arrived in
Liverpool on the 9Th May, but the inteli-
gence she carried out had not yet reached
London. Bills continue to return protested
which is no more than was anticipated
There is a little else of paramount inser-
est. The British legion in St. sebastiaus
has been reiatorced by a large body of
Spanish troops, and the whole force under
The commsnd Of the Spanish General Es-
partero, was on the point of moving forward
to attack the Csrlist army posted before that
place. The combat it was believed would
be very bloody.--N. y. Courier q. Enc.

The annual report of the Public school
committee was read and received.
Henry C. Martin was authorized to col
,.., ,,Id ,axe. due at the decease of the late
Collector.
Mr.. George TilIey, and several other gen
tlemen, were desirous OF having sunday
coustables appointed. They stated that
the erossest violations of the Sabbath were
repeatedly prac,ised with impunity in our
most public streets, and the necessity OF
some effectual measures to put stop to
sucI, proceedings had become apparent to
almost every one. The following persons
were accordingly appointed.
Sunday Coastables George Tiliey. Pc
ter p. Remington, James A. Greene, Rob-
ert stevens, and WIN. Caswell.
The attention of the meeting was called
to the state Of the Town Clock, it being
much out ofrepair. Some were for making
an appropriation for new one--olhers for
peti,ioning the Legislature, &c. &c. but on
the representation of Mr.. David Cogeeshall
that a competent workman had been EN-
ploved to put the clock in good order, at an
estimated cost of about $50, the subject was
disposed of.
A vote passed specially instructing the
committee on Fire Buckets to cause, as soon
rs may be, every house in town to be ex-
nmined, and sec that the law on this subject
be strictly complied with.-And that said
committee be paid all reasonable expenses
attending the performance of their duty.
Toyn Bell Ringers.-Phlip Sherman
nnd Samuel Gladding-.he latter IN place
Of John Springer, declined. The Spring
street Church bell will therefore hereafter be
rung in the South part Of the town, instead
Of Trinity Church bell, as heretofore.
Michael Freeborn and Thos. Bush were
appointed committee to establish Pound
on the Malt Lot.
Daniel Brown and Isaiah Burdick were
added to the list of Constables.
Henry Bull was appointed to repair the
Au0educt at the foot Of the Parade.
A vote passed requesting the Town
Councii TO proceed in the repairs OF the
Brick Market without delay.
The meeting after passing sundry nc
counts, then adjourned sine die.

To the Editors OF the Spectator.


GENTLEMEN-I have read the late
Ordinance OF the Common Council, es-
tablishing and regulating g market for
the Corporation of Stanton. In gene
raj l approved. of its provisions, but at
the same time, l do object to the second
section, prohibiting, under II heavy pen
atty, the sale of anv article previous to
the hour Of niue o'clock, A. Nj. Farm
ers residing within striking distance of
the town, having butter for sale, would
not venture through hot sun with it.
| can assure the common council, that
the market will not be as well supplied,
if the people in the country are not al.
lowed to sell from daylight to any sub
sequent hour which they might desig-
nate. A FARMER.
1.-THE prohibition in regard TO the sale of
marketing before the hour of nine o'clock
seems 10 be Inexperienced by our CORES
pendent. We understand il as apply ing on
ly TO sales ,utthout the market hnits-ihe in

days, to The market, until that hour-ED.]

SPECIE.-This article has experienc ed
decline of three or four per cont. in the
New York market, and had been sold at
eight per cent. The Gazstte Of that city
says
Several causes have operated to produce
this result. la the first place the high pre-
MUM has Induced people from all parts OF
the country TO collect The precious metals &
send them TO this city for sale An exIen-
sive and profitable business has been carried
on in this way between Canada and New
York. Some Of the Banks there having
continued TO pay specie spectators have la
ken advantage Of il and made handsome op-
eraiions-in some instances clearing fifteen
per cent Besides the large amount brought
from the interior the average sum imported
weekly from abroad is not less than $50 600
In The second place, The large amount ofpro
duce purchased for remittances TO Europe
has lessened the demand Viewing the mon-
etary affairs OF the country as they now stand
we begin 10 think that The resumption OF
specie payments by the Banks is not as far
distant as We originally thought it was.

that report prevailed there that Sam Jones

presents the singular anomaly of vessel of
war, sailing upon the high seas, without any

U. s. Bank.-The report of the in
tention of the u. S. Bank OF Pennsyl-
vania to resume specie payments is in
correct. We doubted the truth of the
statement when we first saw it. The
resumption by that Bank alone could be
of no advantage, but would tend
rather to aggravate the public distress.
Its effects would be to make the notes
OF the Bank an article Of merchandise for
the purpose of commanding the specie.
and consequently they would cease to
be-as specie itself has from the same
cause-a circulating medium. The
withdrawal Of so large an amount of
valuable circulation, which would be
the consequence, it is easy to foresee
could not fail to be injurious to the coun
try, while its operation on the Bank
itself would be positively ruinous.
