given her proper reception, by firing royal salute,
&c; but by some negligence, this was omitted A
report circulated soon after her reaching the
dock that Daniel Webster board, which
caused much excitement among our quiet hab,fans.
There were, however, but few passengers, and those
unknown to fame. There is some talk of
public dinner being given to the officers of the boat.
The government Gazette announces the meeting
OF Parliament in one month from TO- day-ths 18th
Of August. The new Parliament building viii then

is anticipated, and the city will doubt be crowded
with visiters. A new hotel is very much needed
here-there are but two worthy of the name, and
they are crowded to repletion. Great numbers of
Americans visit the city daily, arriving in the
morning, and returning by the evening boat tc

Hill Butler, published in your paper Of the 10th ut,
is regarded here as great curiosity, and deserved
tack on ex.President Van Buren,, Prince John,
Parson Butler, and Preston King, tho high priests

man, though possessed Of commanding talents, may
be the dupe of the designing. IL Senator Chase had
employed his rare powers Of mind to discover the
motive Of the Buffalo rally, in effort simply to
multiply the chances of the defeat of Gen. Cass to
the Presidency, he would have spared himself tho
necessity of inicting upon the country FIVE columns
Of good English in nm attempt TO show that he was
sincere and that he supposed Parson Butler and the
other members of the committee were generally 10.

therein what he supposed was great principle of

masonry, has served its day, and the end designed

TO THE EDITOR or THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Your correspondent, Common Sense, - il no com
mon man. He has discovered the cause Of the de-
icient supply of water.
II is the officers Of the department that cause the
mischief Eat the High Bridge, where the water
overfows, and runs by the thousands of gallons per
minute into the Harlem river" Aye, that's it. IL
these stupid officers would only make this surplus
run through the pipes on the bridge--which pipes
arc already full-why then, there would be more
water delivered in the city.
Seriously, there is small overflow Of water at
the gate house on the Westchester end Of the High
Bridge This assures the fact that the pipes living on
that bridge are not only full but under pressure Of
a head sufficient TO accelerate the flow Of water
through them, and thus increase the daily quantity
delivered. Common Sense" may possibly see the
philosoIhy Of tbie, and that while there is any
ui6ing surplus in the Croton river, il IL better TO
use that suiIlug as mead o. the High Bridge, than

Of weak stomachs by the addition of gastric juice
taken from the stomachs of animals Much has been
said, studied, and written, this subject; but, az
yet have few, fany, facts tending to throw light
upon it, and M. Cavisart brought forward no prac-
tical proof to sustain the theory. He contented
himself with discussion, but appeared TO have
no doubt in his own mind that indigestion is
caused by deficiency of gastric juice, and that
if this deficiency were supplied from the sources
which he suggested, digestion would at once be-
come perfect again. As gastric juices in its nat
ural state, Of taste and appearance that would
be repulsive to the patient, he proposed that
it should be reduced to a powder or paste, and
mingled with the ailments, and thus introduced
into the stomach. He seemed to have no doubt
that the gastric juice of animal would in all re-
spects supply the place of that of the human sto-
mach; although, in the somewh hat analogous opera
ton OF the TRANSMISSION of blood, it has been found
that the current of life must positively be taken from
human veins, and that that drawn from the brute
creation does not possess sufficient vitality to re-
animate the human frame.
