~ pad double and single lever truss

- pad double and single lever truss
(patented Sept "a, l844) for the support and cure
Of RUPTURE or hernia suitable to all sizes and ages,
for men, women, and children.
This truss has the superiority Of any heretofore
in use first, on account of its durability and clean
illness, the rupture pad eing of glass, lin any
shape or form,) the adjustments of the springs 10
suit the action of the body, and calculated to be
fitted to either side. The rupture pad (glass) has
double motion: first, by revolving on its owe
axis; second, by the lever to which it is attached,
and where said lever il connected to the man
spring. The superiority which this truss has over
others is obvious in this, that it is most effectual IN
retaining the parts in their proper place, and ma
king due pressure it is always clean; it's shape or
form is durable, which in stuffed pads is not the
case, LAS they become saturated with the fluids
from the body.) The umbiical truss is unsur-
passed, being so adapted as to remain perfectly
secure where applied, .g.t,... ..., ...a

From the ". Y. Evening Post
THE HON. GEORGE BANCROFT.

Mr. Bancroft has retired from the office Of Secre-
tary of the Navy to be the representative Of the
nation at the court of England. While secretary he
had many opponents, and there are very many un
able to appreciate what he recommended to be done
for the navy. He seems to have viewed the navy
as belonging to the country, and not to any one
grade Of officers in IL and, under this view he wisely
urged that promotions should not be made solely
by seniority, but careful discrimination should be
had us to capability. Where within his power, hS
appointments to command and to subordinate places
were made with reference TO the fitness Of the lnd
vidua with little regard to the age of his comms
sion. The effect Of such principles was to stimulate
all to deserve the appreciation Of the secretary and
cause the work given them for execution to be beF
ter done. Let not these broad principles be too
lightly laid aside. Consider the interests ofhe ser'
wants Of the people, but do not forget those of the
people themselves.
Mr.. Bancroft very judciousy remodeed the
navel school for midshipmen, and established al
Annapolis; and wisely and courageousy, in the face
of strong preiudices he has assigned to medical on
GERS an assimiated rank in the navy, thus extend
ing over them protective hand, 10 ward of njus,
tice and humiliation which have been often felt ard
long complained of. BY this simple act he has net
taken away any attribute Of officers Of the line ia
the navy, but removed from the minds of the medl
cal officers pain which made them unhappy and
dsconented. fIe has given, it may be said, peace
and mental repose to the afflicted; and long will he
be borne in grateful remembrance by the medical
officers and in time all viii assent to the propney
and wisdom Of this act II is in keeping with the
spirit Of democracy and of the age The novelty Of
the measure time will show is the sole objection 10
Il; and this Mr.. Bancroft had the Fogacity to per-
ceive.

THE FOREIGN COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Every successive arrival from Europe indicates
more and more clearly the immense gain, which IS to
result to the business of the country from the repeal
Of Odious and oppressive tariff Of lS42, There
is great demand in England and on the continent
for our agricultural staples. The last commercial
intelligence, as we give it in another column, shows
that this demand is increasing. As consequence,
freights and prices here at once go up. Why Is
thisi There have been poor crops, and failures Of
crops before in England and Ireland, and on the
continent, and these have generally hitherto pro-
duced comparatively but slight effects upon Ameri-
can prices. But nov the American grain. market
instantly feels the beneficial influence Of the Eng
lish demand.
The explanation Of this Is obvious. Both Eng
land and the United States have taken off the egis
laye restrictions upon their tGaGe, and thus foreign
nations are enabled To become our customers in the
food market. They sending Us orders for gram
and provisions, because their own croPs-especlaly
the potato crop-have failed, and they see that un-
der the tariff Of 1896 we receive their manutac-
lures in payment
The wealth thus gained to our immense ogricul-
tural population throughout the land, by the IN
creased price of the products Of the soil, can be es-
mated only in millions Of dollars. Every man who
raises bushel Of wheat, rye, corn, has reason
to be thankful for the tariff Of l546 and for the de-
cided Improvement in the foreign market.
How strikingly does this state Of things rsfule
the whig pre,snce that the home market IL, and must
be- with us the regulator Of prices and the absorb
ent Of our agricultural surplus How often has it
been proved that any home market whi can
be created in this country, 10y the manufac-
mrors alone,) must b. always aud altogeth-
er inadequate to consume even tlhe of our
teeming agricultural productons' Yet in the face
Of this and in the face Of the ic hat any increased
demand for provisions at Liverpool or London at
once raises the price of such articles in our own sea-
ports--the same parrot cry of the 'honc market"
kept up. But the peo pie may be securely relied on
to see the truth as it is.
