FEVER AND CAycEa tURgD--t;REAr Drscov-
ERrEs.--1he city Of New Orleans has become
not little celebrated for two important discov-
cries made in il within few years, by two en-
inent physcians-- one is DR.. Gilbert, whose
fame is cw widely extended, as the successful
eurer of that hitherto impregnabe and terrible
disease, "cancer." The other is DR. Seat, who
has cured some Of orr most eminent men. in a
few days, of fever. We have read in tie New
Orleans Delta. and have seen The most respecta-
bic testimonials of the cures effected by DR..
Gilbert, in his hospital, Poydras street, New
Orleans
DR.. Seat visited our office last week, on his
way to Europe to dispose Of his important dis
covery to foreign governments. The discovery
is n medicine which never fails to cure the most
inveteratc case of fever in few days. Such
discoveries confer untold blessings upon the hu-
man family - Scientific American

WHOLESALE LARCENY on THE ERIcssoy
BoATs-The proprietors Of the Ericsson trans
portation line between Philadelphia and Bati-
more, have long suspected that merchandise
freighted by their line was preyed upon by dis
honest persons in their employ. An extensive
system Of plunder has been detected, and the
Elkton Democrat Of Saturday says;
George Bennett, VIM Cole, and II. T.. Lowry
were arrested in Philadelphia on Monday last
These were employed on the steamer Union, and
many articles, such as muslin, umbrellas checks
&C., were recovered from the house of one OF
them. They were all committed for further ex.
animation.
On Thursday, Thos. r. Scott, the agent OF
the company. in Philadelphia, came down to this
place and caused warrants to be issued for John
Price. Francis Dcvaenger, John Her, and Rich
ard Wingate, all residents of Chesapeake city
and employed by the company. They wers ar
rested, and their premises searched, which re-
suited in the discovery Of large quantity OF
goods, of various descriptions, among which
were bags of coffee, hid under the porch Of one
of the accused under the floor of an upper
room, in one house, and under the kitchen floor
of another, were found dry goods, costly silks, a
lady's rich silk sack, CATERS, quantity of boots
and shoes, and various other articles
Devalenger gave bail for his appearance at
court, and the others were committed for far
ther hearing on Saturday
The Elkton Wing says that it is confidently
asserted by some that Vingate and Devalenger
were not aware the goods were stolen when
they were placed in their possession.

THE WEEKLY DISPATCH,

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
m The lo,o price OF ONE DOLLAR per annum,
r s the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
| Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
Hucu r. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed TO make II equal TO any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-ts cond ductors
are Vireinians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From eJu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men, Their
defence Of Southern rights is defesce Of them
selves and all they hold dear;--th it has been
warm unremttIDg, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume thnt the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views. They, at least,
know 1t to be impossible
Blythe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al

HAVANA, March II, 5l.-Our usually quiet
city has been in quite an excited state during
the past week, in consequence of several arrests
made by government, supposed upon political
motives. Ii is hardly necessary to say that no
body (as usuaD hno,os upon what grounds the
arrests were made, but errsbody supposes that
they in some way, are connected with the er-
pected invasion! A chimera, a phantasm, mag
niied in the weak minds of the people were to
a horrible monster, invisible, ndescribab!e, that
will one day appear amongst them, cholera-like,
and sweep them, with irresistible power, from
the face of their beautiful island Can ANYTHING
be more absurd than such thought! This is
land is too well fortified and occupied with
troops, to admit for a moment by the more in.
telligeut part of the community of such
thought.
The troops are drilled daily BY regiments and
brgades. I" Sham fights" come off almost every
day, and every effort is being made by the Cap
tain General to bring them to the highest possi
BILE state of discipline. Add to this the unin-
terrupted crusings of the squadron of sailing
and steam vessels on the coast and you will
readily perceive how little chance there would
be for successful invasion of Cnba The for
egn gold question has been decided in the mega
tive, j. e. foreign gold will not be admitted at
par. Count Penalver gives a complimentary
soiree musicale this evening to the several Ameri-
can families visiting Havana All of the elite of
Havana have been invited, and a splendid affair
is anticipated. The Ravels give their lost per-
formance tonight. They have had very sue
cessful run, and we regret much to lose them.
The public amusements for the season are about
over. Lent is approaching, and our city will be
dull place for travellers until after the holy
week, in April, when it will once more assume

Was commenced on Saturday, the 9TH of May9

surpassed by any paper whatever in the United
States! 1t continues under the same Editorial
direction as heretofore and no pains or exnen..
will be spared to make it
A Choice Family Newspaper,
" as cheap as the cheapest, and good az the
best" Utterly discarding the notion that
Southern Journal cannot compete with the North
ern weeklies, In cheapness and interest,
The Southern Literary Gazette
rivals the best Of them in all the character,scs OF
truly valuable ireside Journal It's aim is the
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste throughout
the communicated it embraces in it's ample
folds ever species of intelligence that can tend to
this result.
Original Contributions, l.u
from many OF the ablest writers in the South
chiefly occupy its columns, but not to the exc,u.
sion OF choice miscellany, selected from the heat
American and European sources.
The tone Of the "Gazette" is independent y,
criticism and in the discussion Of every legitimate
topic, but it is strictly
Neutral in Politics and Religion!
It's columns are occasionally embellished with
Southern Portraits and Losd,copes
engraved expressly for the work, and accomps-
MED by biographical and typographical sketches
It's General Information
is copious, but carefully condensed from the
leading journals Of all parts Of the world.
