h5-our New York correspondent seems to have
taken some with the statistics of the preceding
letter. and he that the method of assessing
the duties was derived from the appraisers Office in
the United States custom house of New York. But
we cannot voueh for the accuracy of all his state
ments, nor will we pretend TO snalyze the mode of
valuation, under the new tariff, which Mr., Webster
put forth in his speeches in the Senate Of the United
States. We would advise our readers calmly to
await the instructions which the Secretary Of the
Treasury is now preparing As the subject is ofgreat
consequences to the revenue, and as it is important
that the first step in carrying out the system should
be correct one, we presume the secretary will take
great pains in considering the instructions which he
Is about to issue We have no doubt they will be
announced with as much Promptitude as may be con-
slstent with a correct construction Of the laws.

District.
1t is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable to carry into effect the great design of this in
stitution, as from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities to the poor as far
they could wish Thus far the receipts from patients
have not met the current expenses; hence but few
charity patients have been be received, unless
aid be given by our corporation and citizens 1t is
gratifying however, to the directors to have had il
their power to the cause of humanity through
their dispensary arrangement, by which hundreds
of poor, sick, and disabled have had dispensed to
them medicines, with medical and surgical advice.
All classes of diseases will be admitted into the
infrmary, except smallpox and maniacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made

CITY Infirmary and DispensarY.-Ths

~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends, that it has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts of the pa
tents. The in6rmary has been divided in such
to separate the several classes Of patients,
viz: white and colored male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, proers retirement and
privacy as far az can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the inrmary is visited daily at II o'clock
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote much time as is necessary for pre-
scrptons, operations, and dispensing of medicines
for all such dispensary patients may be in wait
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services OF the SIS
TERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided aten-
ton to the nursing and comforts of the sick.
Private patients may enter the infrmary under the
special Of any Of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the institu-
ton.
In consequence of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according to
the following schedule viz:

1t has been said OF England, that the sun never
sets upon her territories. France too, has wide
and beautiful domains And how obtaincdl ln-
iquitous as we regard the recent policy Of our
own country, We believe it far surpassed in inia-
my. as it is infinitely in extent, by the grasPins
spirit of British and French annexation. The
very last arrival from Europe, Showed the pro-
gress of Anglo-lndia annexation at the point OF
the bayonet, and through sea of blood. And,
as for France, look at Marshal Bugeaud; think
Of the unparalleled crueies inflicted upon prison.
ers the ingenious modes of torture invented TO
subdue the indomitable spirit of the gallant Arab.
Let these grey old sinners first repent themselves;
these lepers, tainted from head to foot with cor
rupton, find some purifying Jordan TO wash away
their hideous sores, and then they may. with more
consistency and grace, point the finger of scorn
at the plague spot Just appearing on the lar lace
of our young Republic.
We mention not these crimes to Justify our own
offence. These vile examples cannot even pal.
late our own most inexcusable wrong. We point
TO them not rs models to be initiated, but as evils
to be stunned The permanence of liberty de.
ponds upon union, and union cannot long survive
the unlimited extension of territory upon which
our rulers seem bent. Let us sit down in peace
beneath our own vino and fig tree. content with
their grateful shelter and pleasant fruit, and leave
to other nations mad and cHhaustng schemes of
ambition and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
