This remedy has the happy and powerful effect ot reaching the nerve from both ways, viz, from the ln- ternal and external use. Although many cases are cured by either the external or internal remedy alone, unless both articles are used together, and in all such cases matter how severe, when both articles are used in connection according to the directions, the most positive warrantee is given, that the money, Tn every case will be paid back to the purchaser where q cure is not effected.

THE MADISONIAN

The Madisonian Of yesterday assigns as among the
reasons for the nomination Of Mr. Barker as Comp
roer, that "Maior Barker distingu ished Off
Ger of the late war, and have heard was the mess
mate of the Presidents brother for two years the
lines in the hottest of the They slept in the
same cot, shared each others purses and performed
all the duties of friendship which has to this day
known abatement
That is reason, and one of which we shall say
nothing now, as it belongs to the President.
But here is an assertion of the M adisonian
"Major Barker was elected Mayor of Philadelphia
by large popular vote"
Now there is not word Of truth in the above as
sertion. Of course, suppose it an unintentional
error. Major Barker never elected Mayor OF
Philadelphia by the people During the prevalence of
the JACKSON fever in Philadelphia the Councils of the
city, consisting of hrty-tw members, whose choice
was confined to few aldermen, elected Major Barker
of the city which position he held very short time,
when he was appointed Collector by General Jack
son. Now say not this in any disparagement to Ma
ior Barker, for whom entertain the kindest feel
ings. But think it proper to BET the truth before
our readers.-PhH. y. S. Gazette
We stand corrected in the last particular. But
what does the correction amount TOT Is there any
good reason given for Mr. BIS rejection by Mr. C. of
the Senate?

CONGRESS-.

On Friday, during the reading of the journal,
the names of Messrs. Stewart, OF Va, Nerve
Their and Caruthers, were announced as the
new members of the Committee on Foreign Al
fairs, to supply the vacancies caused by the late
designations.
Mr.. Clarke presented bill and report from
the Committee on Naval Affairs, establishing
ranks in the Navy, and for other purposes. The
bill was read twice by title, when Mr.. War
rem moved to lay it on the table. The actual
reading of il was required, and afterwards the
reading of the report accompanying It, Before
the reading of the report was finished, Mr.. War
rem withdrew his motion.
By general consent, several bills, which had
been read twice. were read the third time an
passed.
Mr. Fillmore then moved that the House re-
solve itself into Committee ofthe Whole on the
state of the Union-Mr. Briggs was called to
the Chair The discussion on the civil appro-
priation bill was continued by Messrs. McKeon,
Fillmore, Caruthers, and Charles Brown
Among the motions made was one to strike out
the fifty thousand dollars for providing station
cry, &c, for the House. On this desultory de-
bate arose-and when the question was put, it
was discovered that there was no quorum
This fact was reported to the House, and call
was ordered. One hundred and sixty-three
members answered to their names, and further
proceedings in the call were suspended.
The House again went into Committee, and
the amendment proposed was rejected, upon be-
ing put to the vote. The debate was farther
continued on an amendment offered by Mr.
Graham, Of N. c., which proposed that the
members should find their own stationery.
The Senate passed the bills which were yes
terday engrossed for third reading, and refer
red nearly twenty bills from the House to the
apI ropriate committees.

And with equal clearness is II true, that II re-
pudiates those features or qualities Of each,
which have been regarded as of questionable
safety or utility by their respective opponents.
Its proposed operations are of the least complex
character of any scheme hitherto devised-they
do not admit of any political Partially or favor
itism-they expose neither friends OF the Gov
eminent nor friends of the people to hazard
but they place all friends falling within their
sphere effectually beyond the cupidlty of specu-
lators of every denomination. The nominal ex-
tension of Government pat ronage which 1t pro-
poses, is in fact reduction, as in practice 1t
will undoubtedly prove, by enabling the per.
formance of much Of the duties now as
signed at different points to depository agents
otherwise unconnected with the Government,
to be engrafted upon the duties of Collec-
tors of the Customs, or other officers already
provided by law: and, the influence it cannot
fail to exert over the local currency of States,
while it furnishes national paper currency ex
acty in proportion to the actual demand for it
and actual ability of the country to have it, can
not but be most sautary and effective, as it is
the great desideratum of all business men.
Were we pushed to decide who can be found
willing to stand forth the opponents of this great
scheme of ma tonal harmony and relief, we
should, indeed, be at loss to name them, either
as individuals, or as class. Undoubtedly there
may be interests, personal, political, or specula-
rive-inAuences ploce eding from restlessness Of
judg ment, private ambition, or party prejudices
that will assail this, as they would assail any
other measure that is not strictly their own. Blu
predict, fearlessy, that the great conservative
and patriotic sense Of the people at large viii
come up to its support, and it will prove ht
great measure of the times, productive of hono
to It's progenitors and friends, and of enduring
blessings to the people who have been, indeed
made sick by hope too long Deferred

BOOKS AND LIBRARIES OF THE WoRL D.

In the lecture recently delivered by w. H. Dill
ingham Esq, some interesting information was fur
nshed in relation to books and libraries. Within
the last few centuries, he said books have multiplied
to such an extent as set all statistics at defiance.
Looking little at this subject, can hardly re-
III ess a smile at the vain attempt to number them.
The authorities present the ncomprehenslbe differ
Of millions in their respective estimates OF the
number Of books printed in the world distin-
guished member of the Senate of the United States,
in recent report to Congress- adopts the number OF
600 900. The author of the Curosties of Litera-
ture takes the wide range of 3640O0O for his esti-
mate and learned professor in our own university
adopts the golden mean, giving his estimate as
1900 900 different volumes, or 100000 different
works Mr. d., quoting from the United States Lite
rary Advertiser for November last, says the public
Libraries of Europe estimated at about seven hum
dred in number supposed to contain an aggregate
Of %, 900 900 Of volumes. The Bodeian Library at
Oxford, the largest in Great Britain is said to con-
tain 100000 printed books, and upwards Of thirty
thousand manuscripts. The British Museum in
London, contains 100000 volumes, and $4,000
manuscripts. There also large libraries in Cam
bridge, Dublin and Edinburg. The royal library at
Paris the largest extant, is said to contain 100000
or according to other authorities, 900 900 volumes,
and $1,000 or 100000 MSS exclusive Of an i'm
mense collection Of historical documents, maps, mo-
dels, engravings sc. The principal library at ST.
Petersburg contains 430 900 volumes and 5000 MSS
The ROYAL Library at Copenhagen also comprises
similar number of MSS, and 100000 printed
volumes. That of the Vatican, at Rome, comprises
about the same number of printed volumes, and So
900 Mss. There others in Milan, Florence,
Naples and Madrid The Royal Library at Munich,
IN bavaria, the most important in all Germany, con-
tains $40 900 printed volumes, and $1,000 MSS. 1t
should be remarked observed the lecturer, that the
Bodie,sn Library, here rated at 100000, is not est
mated by others higher than 100000. Galgnani est-
the Royal Library at Paris at 100000, including
pamphlets. With its MSS it contains, at this time,
nearly 100000 volumes There are, besides, more
than 100 900 900 volumes in the other public Libraries
OF Paris, including those supported by Government to
which strangers may obtain admittance by written
permission. The public Libraries of Germany were
estimated, in 1927, TO contain 100000 volumes
