GENERAL ScoTT's ARRIvAL.-It il now stated,
upon good authority, that General Scott will not re-
ceive the attentions proposed to be paid to him by
the public authorities on his arrival here, by the
brig Petersburg. He intends to proceed from
the Narrows to Elizabe thtown and reserve his ar
rival here for some other occasion, as he now con-
slders himself under the displeasure of the Pres-
dent of the United States. The displeasure of Mr..
Polk must give General Scott great deal of I'M
easness, indeed The frowns of the White House
must be very great calamity! If, however, the
whig convention should do a certain thing, which
it very probable il will do, the distinguished con-
queror of Mexico will get over that calamity.

yet the one is as good as the other till both are
brought into the same room together. Why should
not one humbug succeed as well as another I We
should like 10 know the reason.

LIBEL SUITS AND ADVERTISEMENTS. = Ingenuity
has no limits. We learn as a fact, that many Of
the libel suits which have been brought of late III
the different courts, and in which the advertising
doctors generally take opposing sides, have been
got up expires sly for the purpose of having the
veral cases published in the reports, and thus of
getting the doctors advertising done gratis in the
shape of law reports in the newspapers. Newspa-
per reporters, not knowing the motives for bringing
these libel suits, have very greenly fallen into the
trap laid, and given copious reports of these bub
bic libel SUITS always taking that the charac-
ter of the medicine involved is endorsed by all
sorts of certificates and statements. 1t is proba-
bic enough that the famous Dr. Brandreth, of Sing
Sing, who still vends his everlasting pills, became
politician, and opposed to the barnburners, in
order that he might be advertised gratis in the
banburnng journals; for while these journals
abuse him as politician, they also advertise his
medicine universal restorative. Very funny,
all this.
