WASHINGTON, June 10, lS47.
STR In conjunction with several other members
of the Medical profession gave you, some years
since, q certificate Of the good quality of your
Mineral Water. With "a commendable jealousy of
your own works, lest confidence in their abiding
good reputation should have led to neglect you have
again applied to me for analysis of several spec
mems Of Mineral Water, purportng 10 have been
made after different methods by different PERSONS
the particulars Of which not furnished, the only
distinction apparent being in the color Of the bottles
| have examined the several specimens submitted,
and find as follows The water in the ,ohite glass
bottles is free from all impurities that in the green
bottles contains sensible quantity Of sulphurc acid
which is evident to the smell and taste, as well to
the proper chemical tests. From a recent inspec-
ton Of your process, was led to the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain access
to the water were lead and sulphuric acid. Ofle
find no traces whatever in any of the bottles the
amount Of sulphuric acid present in the green bottles
though small is Objectionable, and must be regarded
as an imputy as the Mineral Water processes to be
free from all such admixtures. therefore certify
that the Mineral Water contained in the white bot.
ties sent to me was pure, and in my opinion saIuta-
ry, while that in the green bottles was impure and
unfit for common beverage.

OuR PaovIsIos MARKErs.-The provision mar
kets Of Washington, owing to the destruction Of
part Of the Potomac BRIDGE have been badly supplied
for nearly year past, and prices have ruled in con-
sequence. very high And at the present moment
prices are far above what they ought to be. We are
sorry TO say, there is little prospect Of an end
being put to this state Of things very shortly for the
friends Of DR.. Douglass that he cannot get the
bridge rebuilt for love money If this be So the
fact ought to be established by incontestbe evidence
SO as to relieve the Doctor from the suspicion, that
is now 50 widely spread Of inexcusable neglect in
the performance Of the duties Of his Office. We
have heard il minated that public meeting will be
called at early day to consider this matter Of the
rebuilding Of the bridge. There is money in the
Treasury devoted for the purpose and it is the duty
Of the citizens to know why it is not used to carry
into effect the design Of Congress. We'hope that
the people will come together at once, and appoint
committee to look into the matter, and seek the Pre-
sident's interference in the premises.

Grea! Emigration. The emigration to
this country, in this year, will be enor-
mous possibly not less than 200 900. The
following paragraphs will show how tide
runs in Ireland aud Gernany:
DUBLIN, April 3.
Emigration from all parts Of the coun-
try proceeds alta rapid rale. The quays
of Dublin resemble the halting place Of an
Eastern caravan. Crowds Of emigrants,
with their seperate alotments of luggage,
stud every available spot.--The greater
number arc conveyed to Liverpool, but
many ships direct from this port. Two
vessels sailed last week with a full COM
plement, and two more, in which nearly
1900 passengers are booked, will sail on
Tuesday next. A Dublin agent has gone
to Liverpool 10 char;er vessels for the con-
vayance of 1900 families, emigrating from
one Irish estate, the expenses partly to
be borne by the landlord and partly by
the tenant.--A ship is filed in day or
two after being put on the berth, and the
agents say that hundred vessels would
not meet the demand.
Observation-Disclosures Of 5000 German
emigrants have, within the elastfortnight.
passed through Cologne on their way to
Bremen, Havre and Antwerp, where they
win take their departure for America.
The greater part of them seemed to be
rather well of. The town of Menden was
lately so full Of emigrants that it resem-
bled the camp of wandering tribe; the
streets were literally crammed with bag
gage, and people, waiting for the steam.
,ers. It's calculated that 10000 Gers
mans will emigrate this year. The desire
to emigrate has extended to districts ia
Germany where it was never before felt,
and among others 10 the rich and fertile
Saxon province of Prussia. The Nursm-
berg Cotresponde says that the whole OF
the Inhabitants tsix hundred) of the Wiz

THE EyupERoR'S RRoTHER.

On the shores Of Italy, within the en>
nire of Rome, there was at that time
great city, famous for its baths, whittier
The sick resortei, aud whence they re-
coived great aid. Many and wise were
the physicians tha, abided there, and great
theirr repui alton throughout all the Roman
land, SO that all mea resorted thither III
their sickness. Thither had come among
the crowd Of sick, The Lord Antony, whom
his brother had found, on his return,
Ieper from head to foot. Thither TOO had
come for aid steward Of the Count Ernest' )

power Of the physicians Of the place.

Then said the people, $50 ye TO me

Then went they all to the hermitage on
The sea shore. and the emperor went with
his brother, for he knew not OF hts WICK

door uf lie r humble cell stood the recin'e,

habiliments, SO that no one could see her

lowed them she took no heed.
.Good sister, said the emperor, III thou

other sick, unless they freely aud openly
confess all the evil that ever they DID
Brother said the emperor, 'hearest

edge then openly all Thy sin, that thou
mayest be healed of this wickedness
.Truly, o my brother, have l sinned
against thee, and done 30 thee and th5
