South for Washington, who, with the re-

rescue, but the American Chief was not in
view.-
Then Pulaski was convulsed with ragel
He rode madly upon the bayonts of the
pursuing British, his sword gathering victim
after victim; even there in front Of their
whole army, he flung his steed across the
path OF the retreating Americans, he be-
sought them in his broken English, to turn,
to make one more effort; he shouted i'm
hoarse tones thatthe day was not yet lost!
They did not understand his words, but
the tones in which he spoke thrilled their
blood. s s. u: ,-.,. 8. e.
The picture, too, standing out from the
clouds OF battle-.a warrior, convuised with
passion, covered with blood, leaning over
the neck of his steed while his eyes see
med turned to FIRE, and the muscles Of his
bronzed face writhed like serpents--that
picture, say, filled many heart with new
courage, nerved many wounded arm for
the fight again.
Those retreating men turned, they faced
the enemy again-like greyhounds at bay
before the wolf--they sprang upon the
necks ofthe foe, and bore them down BY
one desperate charge. :;a :.
1t was at this moment that Washington
came rushing on once more to the battle.

The nauseous flavor which one associates with the idea Of physic.
Children consider it quite a treat, and In taking 1t their paltes are
gratifed, and their health restored at the same time Jayne's
Tonic Nermifuge not only destroys worms, but carries off the mu
Gus in which they are ~imbedded, and effects a redcal and perma-
nent cure. Every mother knows the prominent symptoms Of
worms, such as voracty, leanness, fTtid breath, grinding Of the
teeth during sleep, paleness Of the lips, itching of the nose,&c,-
but there are other indications not so generally recognized. A
Dry cough, dun eyes, enlargement Of the abdomen, and many
othel symptoms common to other diseases, frequently denote the
presence of worms. If their existenceis even suspected, the Yer
m1uge should be administered, because it can do no harm, in any
case, and may do incaculabhe good. 1t always cures asthma; two
or three large doses will cure the Group or hives in children, in
from Is minutes to one hour. 1t Immediately subdues the vo-

Inc Cambria arrival at Cunard wharf last Wednes
Gay, Drng dates from Liverpool to the 4th inst. The
papers contain nothing of special interest.
Inc uninterrupted irmness of the weather durino
the last fortnight, still holds out the assurance that our
harvest OF grain will be a full average one. From all
quarters Oh europe mere IS also a general concurrent
opinion that the yield will be abundant in the CHIEF
gram producing spots. On the 10Th MAY the price Of
best American flour in Liverpool was Ass. TO 49s.-
iesleruay a considerable sale took place of the same
description OF flour at 27s. to 27s. Cd. The harvest is
nearly over in France, and has commenced in some OF
Inc southern counties of England. With regard tV
the potato crop, although it may be admitted that par
tal failures may have taken place, we still entertain
the opinion that in general throughout England and
Ireland the crop has not suffered.
The cotton market has been steady since the sailing
OF the HDbernia, and although prices in the early part
OF the fortnight gave way about 1-Sd. per h., this de-
cline has been partially recovered since the arrival ut
the Caledonia on the 26th nit.
For Cured Provisions Of almost all descriptions there
IS a steady demand. The delivery of both Irish and
foreign butter has been large, and prices are firm at the
quotations now given.
The state of trade in the manufacturing districts is,
OH the whole, of a satisfactory character. The "short
time" system, as it has been termed, is gradually de-
creaslng, and both In the cotton and woollen districts
more extensive orders from abroad are coming forward,
This gratifying fact, coupled with the fact Of the en-
couragng prospects before us in consequence of the
state OF the crops, warrants us to anticipate, ere long,
a good and prosperous trade in both cotton and wool
len fabrics.
The remains of Mr.. O'Connell having been brought
by the way of France to Southampton, were carried by
railroad to London, and thence transferred to Chester
where they arrived on Monday evening, and were laid
in the Roman Catholic Chapel of that city.
The state of the affairs in China was still unsatis-
factory. Up to the ODD May, when the last accounts
left Canton, all business remained suspended, and fresh
disturbances were anticipated. The mob had men
oced the Governor Keying, for his recent concessions
to foreigners, and threatened to burn his palace if he
attempted to give effect to the terms of late treaty.

DIR. WIsTAR'S BALsAM OF WILD CnERRY.-Ths is a
chemical extract of Wild tCherry and Tar. Every body knows
mat WA Cherry possesses important medicinal properties; and
Tar Water has always been administered in consumption and lung
affections generally by our oldest and safest physicians. Various
remedies, it is true, have been offered and pulled into notorety for
the cure of diseases of the lungs, and some have been found no
doubt very useful, but Of all that have yet boon discovered, ii is
admitted by physicians, and all who have witnessed its effects,
that none has proved as successful as this. For asthma, shortness
OF breath, and similar affections, it may be pronounced a positive
cure. 1t has cured asthma in many cases of ten and twenty years
standing, after physicians had declared the case beyond the reach
of medicine. This medicine is made OF materials planted by ma

cold climates. Let us not neglect her planest dictates.

Capt. L. w. Gardner, a very curious contrivance for
killing whales. tits short gun, weighing some TWEEN
ty-hye pounds-tLe stock being Of solid brass-fron
which a harpoon is to be fred into the animal. The
handle of the harpoon goes into the barrel of the CUR
about a foot, and a line is fastened to it-of course
outside of the gun-by which the whale is to be held
There is also a bomb lance, for the purpose of killing
the animal. This instrument is loaded with powder,
and a slow match is led from the magazine, through
the handle, to the end which goes in to the gun
When the lance is fired into the whale, the slow match
ignies and in about half a minute the fire reaches
the powder in the head of the instrument, which in

this is what the article is intended to do,-.Ntntucke
