7 Give the following brief sketch my Own ex-
perienee;
siek for about two months with what my Pnysl-
clan called sSlow Fever during which iime :
took much medicine; from that time Tor "a
wears I was very often sick and under the care
of a physieian. About twelve years ago naa
n vefv severe attack Of Inhammht0ry hheu-
matism. during which / was attended oy Dr-
Moore. Of Philadelphia. | then regardad my
self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave. Soon after
wards. however, | purchased a box Of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on triai, to be
more efeetual in removing disease, than any
medicine l had ever tried before, replenlsn-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
years in the Western Country, where l vas
yery much exposed to vieissitudes likely TO
produce disease; twice l have crossed the At
lantic Ocean, and have now spent the last iour
years in an Office in this siekly city. Once
while travelling in the West. was taken sud-
dedIv verv in. the friend at whose house / stop
ped called in a physician, who made very
careful examination Of my case. and then pro-
posed to commence a process which be stated
would so reduce my system as to confne me to
the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took a dose of Brandreth''
Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel, and
this is the only instance of my being visited
by physician since purchased the first box o
Brandrethis Pills II years ago.
NV health is now vastly Setter than it haS
been for "a years before commenced the use
of these Pills. They have been my constant
companion wherever have been, by land o.
by sea, and my only medicine; am nov

them: when l take a cold nov, i have M
cough, and attribute all this change, unde
God. 10 the substitution Of Brandreth's Pills
for the frequent bleeding and the calomel dos
ing TO which was before subjected. My wife
too, by the same means enjoys the same unin
terrupted good health. Our Doctors bill 70
both Of us, have not amounted TO i've dollars II
twelve wears When we find our health I'M
paired from any cause, We take dose OF Bran
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty IS removed
and Judging from my own experience, oelleV
If every family should adopt the same practice
the health aud the longevity of the eomnuni

Confession Of the: Mrrder-D DrH"'
mond turned States Evidence:

C0nfession Of tie: Mrrder-D DrHn'
mond turned States EUidence:
Hayre de Grace. April lS.EIhere
has been great excitement nere 70,
d.v in consequence Of the arrival
Of an officer from Chestertown, who
inmediately r. proceeded to arrest a
nan named Nicholas Murphy, on
the charge OF being one Of the muir
derers Of the Cosden family. at
Georgetown Gross Roads, in Rent
County.
1t will be remembered that a man
named Thomas Drummond, was ar
rested in Cecil Co., about the first oi
March, on suspicion Of having been
connected with the murder, and
lodged in jail, where he has remain
ed ever since. The eveidencs
against him was, that on Wednes-
day evening, 26th ult.. the day OF the
massacre, he disappeared from the
neighborhood suddenly, and without
assigning any cause for his depart
ure, and could give ne satisfactory
account of his movements during the
interval.
He alleged that he lodged at the
house OF a man by the name Of Ford
(who lives in the neighborhood oI
Black Bird) on the night of the mur.
der, which declaration Ford corrob.
GRATED, but stated that Drummond
did not arrive at his house until a
late hour Of the night. One OF the
pockets oi his pantaloons bore dis
tinct impression of a bloody hand
Murphy, the man arrested here TO-
dav, came forward and testified that
he and Drummond were out togeth'
er on the afternoon and night OF the
murder, hunting muskrats.
Drummond, notwithstanding thi:
testimony was still held for further
examination, and has now confessed
declaring that Murphy, Shelton
Ford, Sills, and Taylor. are the par
ties who committed the bloody out
rage. They have all been arrested
except Shelton, and the officers are
lin pursuit OF him. This is not the
same Shelton, the miller, who wa:
the first arrested. Ford is the same
man who testified at the examina
ton that Drummond did not reach
his house until after midnight.
| ] learned from the officer who ar
rested Murphy that Drummond de
clares he had no hand in the matter
himself, and that the only object o
the band was plunder-that his gull
only consists in a knowledge of the
conspiracy before the deed was com
mitted.
Webster, the uncle of Mrs. Cos
den, who has so long rested under
the suspicion OF having been the in
stigator OF this dreadful tragedy
seems to be in no manner implicated
by the confession of Drummond
who intimates that il some of tht
Cosden family had not escaped anC
given the alarm, it was their inten'
ton TO have followed up the work
of plumber and blood and that othel
families would have been massacreC
the same night.
Murphy, on being arrested, ap
peared to be the least concerned o
all the crowd assembled. Ford anc
Stills have been lodged in Jail at Elk
ion.

troyed-LOss of Life-lncidents.
: The Boston papers Of Thursday
come to US filled with accounts OF the
great storm in that city and vicinity
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day. The Boston Bee says:
One of the seyerest storms ever
known on ou: coast commenced on
Tuesday night. and has continued aH
to the present hour with unaoa'ea1 I
fury. On every hand we hear o.
great loss OF property. Many lises
have been lost, vessels wrecked an1
the hand of destruction seems mao
with rage.
mart Of the city is more or less sub
pposroed At IL O'Clock Yesterday
noon. Commercial, Central, Long, In
.d;a T. Rowe's and other wharves
southward were under water, at
places, from three to six feet deep.
Most Of the streets near the
wharves were impossible from the
great quantity Of water driven up.
The cellars in Ann, North Market,
India, Broad, Sea, and several other
streets, were more or less flooded
with water. Families have been
driven from their abode, and with no
place for shelter. We saw several
groupes Of children, varying from the
infant o-the boy and girl of ten
years, thoroughly drenched, near In
dia street.
There follows a catalogue of dam
ages, filling two columns Of the Bee.
The tide made complete breach
over CharIestown and Chelsea bridg
es, so that passengers were unable tC
pass over them.
At South Boston, many of th'
streets we're deeply flooded. Th'
new bridge was in some places iron
one to two feet under water. Sc;
street was from two TO three leet un
der water-Washington street, neal
Dover street, nearly three feet undel
water.
Mr.. Theodore Locks, OF Lexing'
ton, milkman, was killed in Charles
town, while driving along the street
by the falling OF the steeple OF the
new Baptist meeting house. During
the morning it was seen to swing tt
and fro. His horse was killed, and
the wagon broken TO pieces.
1t is thought much damage will bt
done to the vessels off the coast. Al
old sea Captain tells US that this is th'
severst storm he has ever known.
Thousands Of spectators, from al
quarters Of the city, lined the whar
yes to witness a sight never seen be
fore in Boston.
Various estimates Of the loss have
been made. Some think $5OO,OO(
low. 1t is impossible to calculate.
The Boston Mail, Of Thursday
says:
We regret to announce, what ha
long been expected, the total destruc
iion of the light house on Minot'
Ledge, off Cohasset. and the loss o
two lives. Parts of the residence
room and Of the lantern itself wer
on the beach. The names OF ih'
two who were on board were JOSEPH
Wilson and Joseph Antonio, Por
tuguese. They were both minors
and were true and faithful.
The damage to vessels on the coast
is also said 10 be unprecedented.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Yesterday
the Supreme Court decided several
very important principles. In the
case of Roe & Kercheval Us. the
Columbus Insurance Company, the
suit was upon a policy on the stea-
mer ST. Joseph, which contained a
clause exemptiug the underwriters
from liability for damage caused by
the bursting Of boilers or collapsing
Of fiues (unIess occasioned by exter-
nal violence,) and from all the con-
sequences thereof. The agreed case
showed that the ST. Joseph exploded
her boilers, whilst under way, in the
Mississippi river, running at her usu-
al speed and without unusual pres
ule OF steam. No cause could be
assigned for the explosion, which was
apparently an unavoidable casualty.
Immediately after the explosion the
boat took fire and was burnt to the
waters edge. No carelessness or
want Of skill was imputed to the
officers of the boat.
Under this state Of facts, the Court
descides that the underwriters are
not liable, being expressly exempted
by the terms Of the policy.

The Demand against the Haytien
Gogernment.-A letter from Hayti
received in this city, dated March
18th, says: "The Haytien govern
ment demurred about paying the
claim for damages for the illegal i'm
prisonment of Capt. Mayo, Of the
American brig Leander, saying that
all the forms of law had been COM
piled with. Commodore Parker OF
the Saranac replied that the remarks
of the Minister were totally unsatis-
factory, and asked decisive answer
whether the money would be paid or
not. Three days elapsing without
any answer, the commissioner made
second demand, limiting the hour
that he would wait for an answer"
The time had not elapsed when the
letter was written. Other letters
state that the Emperor's government
.protes. against this claim Tor damages,
saving that nothing more was done
in this case than the laws OF the coun-
try demanded.-Boston Traveller.

K1portntIon Of specie.

The export to Europe appears TO
be steadily on the increase. For
some timeback it has ranged from
81, 100000 to $4,000, 900 per month,
but now is far beyond that amount.
During last ,ceek the precious metals
exported from the port OF New York
amounted 10 81, ,l9l, ,020. The neces-
sity for this drain, in consequence OF
heavy imports, is made the more aP-
parent from the fact that the present
shipments are not in silver, which
commands premium in Europe; but,
the supply of that metal being nearly
exhausted, or the premium OF il
being driven up too high in conse
quence of the large demand, nearly
the whole OF the amount now going
forward is in gold, and the larger
portion in American coin.
