DR.. wIsTARs GREAT DISCOVERY.

It was once said There is nothing new under
the sun" This has been emphaticaly true, in re-
gard to medicines. Hundreds ofPills, Panaceas,
Expectorants, and Specifics of all sorts have been
pulled into notorlety-all made mainly of the
same ingredients, adding no new materials to
the healing art. But DR.. Wistar's Balsam Of
Wild Cherry furnishes a new medical agent--a
new principle evolved from natures own deposit
tory, 1t cures Asthma, incipient Consumption,
Liver Complaint, and all diseases ofthe Lungs,
when nothing else will. An honorable member
of the Canadian Pertinent writes that it has
cured him of Asthma often years standing. A.
Williams, Esq, Attorney at law, So William
street, New York, was cured of the same dis.
ease of twenty-four years standing. Mr. Cozens,
of Haddonfeld, N. j., makes affidavit that ii
cured him of supposed Consumption, after ply
sicians had given him up to die; and so of hun.
dreds of others.
Remember, we positively, in no case, palm
off unreal cures as produced by this invaluable
remedy. Be sure to get CDR. Wistars Balsau

GREAT CONFEDERATION AT QUEBEC.
FROM 1900 TO 1000 HOUSES DE-
STROYED

We have been favored with the Montreal
Gazette Extra of Friday, giving particulars of a
destructive fire which occurred at Quebec on
the 28th of May. 1t broke out about half past
ii o'clock in the forenoon, in the Tannery own
ed by Mr. Richardson, in St. Valiere street,
from which point it spread in all directions, hol-
ding undisputed sway until midnight. Its career
was arrested in ST. Charles street nearly one mile
from the place of its out break----at the broadcast
point the breadth of the burnt district is about
one-third of mile.
Between 1900 and 1000 houses are supposed
to have been consumed, and it is calculated that
10000 persons (one-third of the poulation) have
been rendered houseess by this calamity, Most
of those burnt out lost their all.
The church in ST. Roch's and St. Peter'S
Chapel are in ruins. The Convent was saved.
The large brewing establishments of Messrs.
Lloyed and Lepper and MCallum are consum-
ed
Various rumors are aAoat, as to the number
of lives lost. Seven crsped and mutllated bod
les had been found.
At meeting of the citizens the day after the
fire, 1000 pounds were subscribed for the re-
lief of the sufferers--COurant.

Te1aS.-The most important INTEL igence
from this Botany Bay of selEbanished scoun-
dres' is, that President Jones has issued his proc
lamation, recommending that an election for
Deputies to Convention be held on the 4th day
of June yesterday )-and that the Deputies so
elected assemble in Convention at the city of
Austin on the 4th of July next, for the purpose
of considering the proposed annexation of Texas
to the United States, and to adopt, if considered
cexpedient, Constitution to be submitted to the
people for their ratification. So the annexation
business seems to be in train to completion, so
far as Texas is concerned, and the probability is
that the New State of Texas will be duly repre-
scented in the next Congress- for by that time
the grand larceny will be complete.
The Teas Question-The Washington Uni
on of Monday says:
Dispatches have been received from Major
Donelson as late as the 22d May. He was wal
ting at New-Orleans for the first steamer to carry
him back to Texas, where he has no doubt already
arrived. He returns with strong determination
to put forth every effort that may be necessary
to complete the great measure of Annexation.
Intelligence had been received that the Mexi
cans were crossing the RIO Grande del Norte un
der Gen. Arista, and taking possession Of an i'm
mense and valuable portion of the territory OF
the east side of that river. But is it possible tina
that Mexico can be so infatuated as to believ
that their mere occupancy of territory, to which
they have no legitimate pretenslon, can eve
give them shadow of claim to any portion o
the country in which their troops may happen tt
be quartered at the moment of annexation ?---
When that measure is completed thro' the actor
of her Congress, and the consent of the peopl
themselves is expressed through their conven
ton, then will we be prepared to solve the ques
ton whether we will permit these invaders TO me
lest the soil Of Texas. A correspondent in Ne,
York may dismiss all his fears. Our govern
ment is prepared for any issue. Our squadro
is off the coast. Three thousand troops will b
on the borders of Texas to preserve our jul
rights, and to protect her from invasion. But
is highly probable, if Gen. Arista does not retil
within his own shell, the Texas volunteers wi
be sufficient to clear and protect their boundar

Resolved That should Massachusetts or any
other State or Government, prompted by the same
motives which actuated Massachusetts, in sending
her emissary to South Carolina, think fit to send
an agent for like purpose, to this State, the Gov
ernor of this State is hereby authorised and
required to take the most prompt and efficient
means of freeing this State of so dangerous and
unworthy an agent, and that the Legislature will
sustain the executive in any measure he may
adopt for the purpose aforesaid.

eminent TO treat with her on the basis OF
independence, and that messenger had
been despatched to Mexico with an answer
