the year, lheIe were elgnty-nlne pallents uhueI
care, two of whom were cases of mania potu
that the number admitted during the year
was one hundred and six; of whom fifteen were
cases of mania potu; making the whole num-
Der under care one hundred and ninety-Gve.
The report states, that 'the recovery in re-
cent cases, have been in the proportion OF
eghty-two per cent" This is gratifying infor-
nation, and proves, that patients have been
diligently and judciously attended to in the in
stitution. "Here," (says DR.. Fisher eve
have the evidence of another years experience
in confirmation of the truth respecting the Gu
rability of recent attacks of insanity, and the
greatly diminished chances of recovery when
the early periods of the disease are allowed to
pass without appropriate treatment" The re-
port complains of the premature removal from
the institution of convalescents, by their friends;
and we cannot but express our surprise that
connexions or friends of patients should act so
iniudously as TO remove them before they have
been radically cured. The effects cannot be
otherwise than disastrous to such patients.
We regret to learn from this report, that DR..
Fisher is compelled by indispostion, to retire
from situation which he has occupied for ten
years past, with SO much credit to himself and
usefulness to the institution.
INCREDIBLE. The New York Courier and
Enquirer has an article on the subject of the
Oregon treaty, which will cause some surprise.
1t says that the correspondence submitted to
the Senate, shews, that, whilst the President
and Secretary of State were publicly insisting
that our title to the whole of Oregon was
"clear and ndisputable," they were privately
instructing our minister in London to endeavor
to induce the British government to offer a
compromise at 40. 1t is even said, that Mr.
Buchanan wrote an argumentative letter to
Mr.. McLane to prove that we had no title be-
yond the 49th parallel. We can hardly be
leve that the President and Secretary of State
have practsed this duplcity, though we are
we'll assured that, Notwithstanding their appar-
ent determination to adhere to the claim up to
81 40, they were exceedingly rejoiced to 70
ceve the proposition from England which was
accepted. We shall be glad to see the cores
pondence referred to published.
The WESTERN CONTINENT. We notice by
this weeks number of the Western Continent,
that Park Benjamin, Esq, has rehnquished the
editorial.chair Of this popular journal, and will
return and take up his residence at the North.
Mr.. Beniam while editing the Western Con-
tncnt, has added TO his already high reputation
as literary writer, at the same time that he
has gained the warm regard and esteem Of our
citizens, who will regret the necessity which
renders his sojourn amongst us so short. He
has our best wishes for his future prosperity
His successor is VIM. 7. Thompson, Esq, not
unknown to our citizens, and especially the
readers of the Western Continent. He is a
finished writer and an accomplished gentleman,
and eminently calculated TO render the Western
Continent equally as popular as heretofore
CRoPs OF LANCASTER County. The grass
crops of Lancaster county were never more lax
urant, the lntelligencer says, and the larger
portion has been housed in good condition.
The Corn and Oats are most luxuriant and
healthy, and bid fair to yield very heavy crop.
The late constant aud heavy rains have prostra-
ted the wheat, and many heads have been i'm
bedded in the grass which grows at the roots;
and thus saturated with excessive moisture,
healthy vegetation has been checked. Although
there may be fair average crop in the county,
there will be considerable quantity ofndiifer-
ent wheat, which will find its way into the mar
ket
NAVAL School AND Court MARTIAL. We
learn, says the Annapolis Herald, that the
Board of Examiners will conclude their duties
on Saturday next. But few instances have &C.
Cured in which the young men have not Uc-
quilted themselves most admirably, and these
under highly paliating circumstances. The
Hon. Geo. Bancroft Secretary of the Navy,
visited the School on Friday last, and express
ed himself as peculiarly gralfed with the gen.
eral arrangements of the yard, the excellent
quarters for the mdshipmen, and the account
given of the young men. We also learn that
Cowt Martial is TO assemble in this city soon,
for the trial of two lieutenants in the Navy.

The WHEAT CRoP. We learn from some
Of our farmers, says the Cambridge Democrat,
that the continued lain for the last week has
injured wheat very much, that was out and
left shocked in the fields, has caused it to head
and sprout. 1t will entirely ruin the top of
every shock.
FIRE. The large warehouse Of Messrs.
Hastings & Fields, at Geneva, N. Y, was
burnt down on Sunday night. There were
burned with it, $50 barrels of whiskey, l4O0I
