NEURRAY,s FLUID MAGNEsIA.-The foil

|MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA.-The fol-
lvl lowing official report of its merits is founded
upon twenty years experience by DR.. Comins, In
|spector OF Army Hospitals, communicated the to
discoverer, Sir James Murray:
"The Solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial pleasing sedative and aperient, in all
cases of irritation acidity of the stomach partcu
larry during pregnancy, febre complaints, infantile
disorders, or sea sickness
An ounce or two Of the Solution speedily removes
heartburn, acid eructations, sourness, or irregular
digestions of females and children.
In the army and navy it has been found to COM
pose the stomach in few minutes, after any
or hard drinking.
For preventing the evolution or deposition Of uric
acid, in govt gravel, the efficacy Of the dissolved
magnesia was long since authenticated by Drs. Nc
Donnell and Richardson, and Sir james Murray.
The Solution is Of itself an agreeable aperien but
its laxative properties can be much augmented by
taking with it, or directly after it, little lemon
tartar team this manner very agreeable eferves-
cent dranght can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst. -
The antiseptic qualities Of this Solution, owing to
the presence of SO much carbonic acid, have been
found very valuable in putrd and other fevers. As
lotion for the mouth, it sweetens the BREATH and
the magnesia clears the teeth from tartar
The Solution has almost invariably succeeded in
removing the fits, spasms, headaches, and gastric
coughs TO which delicate persons are subject from

Pellucid Solution Of Magnesia. very useful
and elegant preparation have been trying for some
months, as an aperient and acid in dyspeptic COM
plants attended with acidity and constipation, and
with very great benefit. 1t has the advantage over
common magnesia in being dissolved, and therefore
not liable to accumulate in the bowels. 1t is decid
edly superior to soda or potash, on account of its
aperien, quality, and Of its having no tendency to
reduction of flesh and strength, which the two car
Donates aforementioned certainly tend TO, when
long continued and taken in considerable quantities
We hope Sir James Murray the discoverer of the
process for preparing this medcide, will take the
trouble to make it generally cessibe 10 the
public in this metropolis, there being only one or
two authorized agents here"
Sir Humphrey Davy testified that this Solution
forms soluble combinations with uric acid salts in
cases of govt and gravel thereby counteracting their
injurious tendency when other alkalies and even
magnesia itself had failed.

The Naval apprenticeship System.-It
has been well said that this is one of those
systems which, when carried into practice,
are SO admirably adapted for good as to ex-
cite wonder that the thing was never tried be-
fore. The Norfolk Beacon, in speaking Of
it, and of the appearance of the young naval
apprentices of the United States ship Della
ware, says this is system which will destroy
the too common notion that would deem pro.
family, extravaganza, lewdness and reckless
ness, as necessarily connected with good
seamanship, and will prove that sailor may
be highly accomplished in his profession and
yet merit the respect of the temperate and
good.
Every art or calling requires period oil
training as preliminary to successful en-.
trance upon its duties. There is no reason
why the seamen's pursuits should be an ex.
cepton to this-the more especially as the
service is one in which the exercise of moral
and intellectual qualities finds place along
with practical dexterity and skill.-1he sys.
tenn now happily introduced into practice
will serve as nursery for seamen ofthe bes
kind. II will rear up class of men among
whom the sense of national and individual
honor will be strong, and who to an enthu.
siasm for their profession will unite intelli.
gence and moral sentiment. From these the
minor officers will be chosen, who being in
nearer contact with the ordinary sailors, will
exert wholesome influence over them both
in the way of example and by blending with
the severity Of decipline feelings more eleva
ted and refined than those Of mere arbitrary
force"

Monday the 25th ult. after setting three
weeks. There were go actions on the old
docket and 339 new entries. Three cases
only were delivered to the jury, and but one
verdict returned by them. The court was

until its adjournment, with the case Of Serb

agree, the case was continued for another trial.
1t is stated that the jury, for their services in

and that it has already cost the parties over
three thousand dollars. This "going to law
