The CRIMINAL COURrs.-On Saturdaywe publish
cd the statistics of city and county criminal courts
for the past year, and today we furnish our readers
with the returns from the U. States courts We have
often felt it duty to remark the very superior
mode in which business is dispatched before the lat
ter tribunals, in comparison with the former It's
true that the whole civil and criminal business be.
fore the United States courts does not equal the cri-
mInal cases in the General Sessions. But notwith-
standing that fact, believe that if the city judicial
tribunals were conducted on good plan and had
as able and as businesske judges to preside over
them, we are fully Of opinion that like results would
follow. There is one little but important item in
these tables to which wish to call public attention
Before the several county Grand Juries through
out the year. find zoos ind ictments preferred
OF this number 2l9 cases settled without trial.
In the u S, Courts 93 persons have been indicted,
and all have been tried save sixteen. No cases
recorded settled, and only five nolle prosequies
could we find on the records Of the court, and tive
of these individuals were charged with tampering
with the Custom House Officers, sort of offence
which we certainly thought would not go unwhipt Of
justice.

From the st. Louis .Ns,s Era Of the 9Th
ILLINOIS ELECTION,

The returns which we have received from TINS
State enable us to make out the following table
They are highly Aattering to the success OF the
Harrison ticket in that State; but they are not
full enough to authorize us to claim the vote OF
the State for hi y. The falling off of the Loco
Foco vote is to be attributed, in some particular
counties, to the stoppage of the works OF inter-
nal Improvement, and the emigration of the labor
ers employed upon them. Thus, in Adams
county there is decrease of the Loco Foco
vote, since August, of nearly three hundred
This has been the case in other counties; and we
are told that large numbers of the hands at
work in Northern Illinois, have been forced to
seek employment elsewhere. II SO, there can be
little doubt of the triumph of the wing ticket.

VEGETABLE SILK AND VEGETABLE WOOL
Two plants have lately attracted much atten-
ton in the island of Martinique, on account OF
the tissues which may be fabricated from the
ibres attached TO their seeds.
The first of these is Asclepias Minor, or vege-
table silk of the West Indies. We have several
plants of the genus Asclepias, in the United
States, properly called silk-weed, perhaps this
very species, though perhaps here at the north,
it may not produce fbres of the same length or
fneness. In Martinique it perfects its pods in
four months, and the plant itself lasts six years
from the planting. 1t has been cardcd and spun;
the thread is beautiful, glossy and brilliant as
silk, and as strong as cotton. This remark is
made of the plant in its wild state; but it has
been Cultivated, and both the staple of the plant
and the quantity of its productions are extremely
improved by cultivation. 1t will grow, no doubt,
in Louisiana.
The other plant is the Bombax minor, shrub
growing to the height of seven or eight feet. 1t
produces large pod which contains kind of
wool, which the manufacturers of Lyons, to
whose inspection it has been submitted, have
declared it to be as fine as the wool of Thibst.
IL is easily spun, and the thread is as strong as
woellen yarn. Fourteen months are necessary
te bring the pods to perfection.-.M T. e. Pest

HOUCK'S PANACEA COUNTER

A SENSE ofduty to myself as well as TO the pub
IA lie, induces to state that my Panacea has been
counterfeited considerable extent, and that large
quantities of have been sold in New York, Philade
pha, and Pittsburg The bottles containing the med-
cine well the stereotyped bills which cover each
bottle has been neatly and closely copied by those
engaged in counterfeng heR that il is difficult de-
tect them, and which indeed can alone be done by
critical examination. As to the spurious Panacea, il is
most wretched and deleterous compound, caiculat-
cd to do, il doubtless has done, great injury the
constitutions of those who may be unfortunate 10
it, there be any thing within the range Of human
action more immoral wicked than another, it is
where uuprincipled being jeopards the health and
lives OF his fellow creatures, as in the present instance
for filthy lucre, and palms upon them genuine me
cine of universal reputation for its sanative quality,
most viainous counterfeit, whose constituent proper
ties instead of possessing the power OF curing tend only
deceive and blight the hopes ofthe invalid, If not per-
man, ntlyto destroy his health.
Having discovered the author ard agents in this injs
rious fraud upon the public, v"l my in
terests and being influenced bS sincere desire pu
nish the aggression of the former and throw the pano
py of projection around the lattcI caused weeks
since suits be instituted in the u States Court for
Philadelphia against the parties concerned in this nef

will be published for the public information and to warn
unpnnciped against the danger of depredating upon
