New Standard OF Weights and
MeaSures.


The following copy Of letter from the Cover
nor, 10 the s,inianl-kCeper Of Orange, will be of
use To many Of our readers. and Of interest to all
ErEcurrvE 0TueE,
RAlcish, August %, lsi5.
SIR: Alter some research, | am enabled
to reply to your inquiries respecting the
Standard Of Weighs and Measures. In
the hrs, place il may he necessary to re-
mark. that the old Weights, mentioned in
the Revised Statutes, under the head Of
4" Weights and Measures" were adopted
by the State Legislature more than a hun
dred years ago, aud are not 10 be regard.
ed now as the proper Standards. Up.
on the adoption Of the Federal Consiilu.
ton, the power 10 fix ll,e STANDARD of
a." Weights and Measures, was surren.
dered by the Stale TO Congress; and in
fulilnenl Of It's duty under This power,
the General Government has furnished 10
the States. within few years past, Sc
ries Of Weights and Measures. by which
all Standard keepers 10 the State are 10
be 60, erned, from the time that they
shall be received by them respectively.
A set Of" Weights and Measures" made
by. aud corresponding with these, has
been sent 10 YOU. And as the quantities
of the Weights differ so materially from
the old Standard of lTil, you very natu-
rally inquire for the weight Of eacn piece
contained in the box.
The old Weighs as seen 10 the Revis-
ed Statutes were, One Hundred Pounds.
Half Hundred, Quarter Hundred. Half
Quarter Hundred, Seven Pounds, Four
Pounds, Two Pounds. One Pound, Half
Pound. Those you now have are as fol-
lows: One Pound Troy weight; One do.
Avoiidupois; ? do. do; 5 do. do; 4 do. do;
5 do. do; 10 do. do; 20 do. DO; Is do.
do; so 90. DO.
The Troy pound is lighter than the 9th
er, aud is only used in weighing precious
metals and medicines. Avoirdupois weight
is the English and American standard for
all heavy articles. The quantity Of each
weight Is marked on paper IN the bot
tom Of lis place III the box, which was
sent here under the act Of Congress.
Whether the same has been done in those
procured by the. State for the different
counties, | am unable TO ascertain.
OF the measure Of extension there is the
Yard Stick only.
Of the Dry capacity of measures there
are The Half Bushel and Peck.
Of Liquids. Gallon, Half G a!lon,
Quart, Pint, Half Pint, and Gill.
The maker of these Standards recon-.
mends great care in preserving them from
rust, &C.. which it is hoped will be duly
attended 10 by Standard Keepers.
Very respectfully, your obedient SER
want. WILL. A. GRAHAM,

READ AND UNDERSTAND. The tim,

READ AND UNDERSTAND! The time
will come when this medicine, BRANDRETH'S
PILLS, will be appreciated as they ought, and
deserves it will be well understood that DR.. Bran
drcth has the strongest claims upon the public 1t
is true that every individual who makes trial of
the Brandreth Pills, comedies them to be the best
medicine they ever used. They are indeed a me
eicine about which there is no mistake. Their
value in climate so changcahle as ours cannot
be sufficiently appreciated, A free perspraton is
at once restored; thus they cure colds, and con-
sumption is prevented. Those who have a re-
dundancy of bile, find them of the most essentia;
service: and should there be deficiency of that
important fluid, the Brandreth Pills, have an E.
qualify beneficial effect. Often has this important
medicine saved valuable lives in those regions
where the DREADFUL YELLOW FEVER
was prevailing. A few doses taken Immediately
upon infection being received into the system,
will be almost certain TO prevent any material in
convenience. And at no stage of this dreadful
epidemic is there sopropera medicine as the Bran
drcth Pills Let this medicine be universally us
cd in this disease, AND NO Loss OF BLooD AL

Sort is with other diseases. ASSIST NATURE
with this all-important medicine, to remove NOR

LATE FROM EUROPE.

The arrival at Boston Of the steamship
Cambria, from Liyerpnol, furnishes ac-
counts from Europe fifteen days later
than before received.
Among her passengers is Professor
Morse, the inventor Of the elec,ro-nas ne.
tic telegraph, who is The bearer of despatch
es to Government from the Tn ted States
Legations in Prussia, Belgium, and Eng
land. Mr.. Morse has IN charge the ratiti-
ed treaty between Bavaria and the United
States, transmitted by Mr.. Wheaton, our
Minister at Berlin; and also the proposed
commercial treaty between Belgium and
the United States. He has also dispatches
for the Department Of State. and for the
Postmaster General, from Mr.. McLane,
our Minister in England.
Rufus Prime, esq, of New York, also
came passenger in the Cambria, and is
the bearer of dispatches from the United
States Legation in Paris 10 the Depart
ment of Stale.
In England the grain market had been
well sustained, but it does not appear that
prices of flour aud grain had actually adj
vanced. The cotton market remained
about the same as at our last accounts.
Meetings have been held in Ireland 10
take into consideration the state of the po.
tato crop of The country; and resolutions
were passed and submitted to Sir Il. Peel,
asking for the opening of the ports, the
stopping of the disIiliation Of grain, and
the granting Of loan Of million and a
half to supply the present necessities ol
the people.
The Railway Specula,ions had very
generally subsidized, and it is said that the
amount of money actually diverted from
the usual channels of trade is extremely
small; which CT cumsiauce has, to some ex.
tent, tended to quiet the money market
The Bank of England had raised the rate
Of discount to 81 per cent.
Marshal Souli, The French Minister oil
War, has resigned. and General Saint You
has been appointed his successor.
The accounts from Algeria show thai
the French are still busy making the mos
ample preparations Tor The subj legation Of
the inhabitants.
The King of the Belgians has been
opening the Chambers in speech which
makes mention of commercial treaty with
the United States;. but the details of the
treaty have not appeared. The state o
the potato crop, aud the sulftrings which,
it is feared, the Belgians will endure in
consequence, are to be provided for, the
King suggests, by employing the poor on
public works. .-..-
The new tariff of The Zoll- Verein has
been published, but has excited liule al
tentlon in England. As regards the Uni
ted States, the increased duties will no
affect the importations. The transit dn
ties on cotton have been reduced by the
llanoverian States.
