CENSORSHIP OF THE PREss-At the banquet
during his speech, Kossuth made the following
remarks on the censorship of the press
Yes, gentlemen, it is proud recollection OF
my life that commenced my public career in
the humble capacity of journalist. And in
that capacity may perhaps be somewhat emit.
lied to your brotherly indulgence, as you, in the
happy cond ton which the institutions Of your
country insure to you, can have not even an idea
Of the tortures Of Il journalist who has to write
with fettered hands, and who is more than fet
tered by an Austrian arbitrary preventive, cen.
sorship. You have no idea what a torture it ia
to sit down to your writing desk, the breast full
of the necessity of the moment the heart full
of righteous feelings, the mind full Of convic-
tons and of principles and all this warmed by
the lively fire of patriots heart-and to see
before your eyes the scissors of the censor ready
to fall VI on your head, like the sword of Dam.
oces, looping your ideas, manning your argu,
ments, numbering your thoughts; and his pen
Gil before your eyes, ready to blot out with a
single draught, the work of your Iaborous Days
and Of your sleepless nights; and to know that
the people will judge you, not by what you have
felt, thought and written, but by what the cen.
sor wills; to know that the ground upon which
you stand is not ground known to you,
because limited by rules, but an unknown slip.
perry ground, the limits Of which lie but within
the arbitrary pleasure of your ,censor-doomed
by profession to be stupid, and coward and
fool to know all this, and yet not to curse
your destiny-not to deny that you know how
to read and write, but to 90 on, day by day, in
the torruring work of Sysiphus Oh! it is the
greatest sacrifice which an intelligent man can
make to tatherland and humanity!

MYSTERY OF THE AMERICAN LAKES La

MYSTERY OF THE AMERICAN LAKES Lake
RE, says the Dublin Magazine, is only sixty or
seventy feet deep; but the bottom of Lake On
rario, which is 452 feet deep, is $50 feet below
the level of The ocean, or MS low as most parts
of the Gulf of st Lawrence /; and the bottoms
Of Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior, al
though their surface is so much higher, ARE all,
from their vast depth, on a level W tn the bot.
tom of l. Ike Ontario. .4
Now, as the discharge through the river De.
trot, after allowing for the full problble por ion
carried off by evaporation, does not appear by
any means equal to he quantity of water the
three upper great lakes receive it has been con.
jectured that a subterranean river MAJ run from
Lake Superior to huron, and from Lake Huron
to Lake Ontario. This conjecture is by no
means improbable, and will account for the
singular fact that salmon and herring are caught
in all the lakes communicating with st. Law.
renee, but in no others.
As the falls of Ma ara must have always ex
isted, it would puzzle the naturalist to say how
these fish got in the upper lakes without some
such subterranean river moreover, any period
cal obstruction of the river would furnish not
improbable, solution of the mysterious flax and
refux Of the lakes.-Detrou Ado.

ELMoRE, BURKE CY., Dec %, 1850.
Mn. j. E. MARsrnL,-Dear Sir: In compl:-
ance with your request, make this simple state
mcnt of facts. My boy Daniel stuck thorn in,
his foot about the first of last June, the thorn
was extracted, and no more thought of it for IS
or 90 days, his foot then began to swell, and in
few days it was opened. 1t discharged q large
quantity of matter The discharge continued
for eight days, and then ceased. His foot then
commenced swelling and extended up his leg,
thigh and hip, with violent pain. He then be-
gan to spit from his lungs matter similar to that
discharged from the abscess OH his foot. l then
called in medical aid, and from the remedies used,
he was alternately better and worse for eight or
ten weeks. During this time a large absccss
formed upon the hip, the discharge was large,
and soon as it ceased, general swelling of his
leg, thigh and breast commenced, which was very
hard to the touch, and at times experienced much
difficulty in swallowing. Medical aid seemed of
no further avail, and was discontinued. then
had recourse to your "Magical Pain Eradicator."
In forty-cight hours, from the time commenced
its use, his foot began to soften; the swelling on
his hip and breast subsided, and / ain pleased to
say he is noo 1DeH.
again used your remedy in case of Neu-
ralgia, with great success, giving immediate re-
lief. have tried it also for Tooth-Ache, with
my youngest child, with entire SUCCESS.
From the success have had in the use of
your Magical Pain Eradicator, have no he.i-
tation in recommending it to the public.
Yours truly,
