MEMORIAL.
To The Senaie aud House Of Representatives qfthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are Informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect desire to reside on the
land thus granted. that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thev could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoralists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale OF the warrants, assun 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. arc not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

of the Hon. Henry Clay, has assumed a

How JENNY LIND FIXED IT.-The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Saturday Dispatch gives us the following
glance at Jenny Lind's husband, and the
way she fixed marriage preliminaries.-
The description of Otto's character is less
fattcring than some of his lady admirers
would wish, and Jenny is shown to have
exhibited the same cuteness in her love
affair that has characterized all her bust
ness transactions. She possesses great
deal more than Yankee shrewdness.
"Mr GoldschmidtiS a small, thin, weak,
human article, extremely inclined to take
care of himself, and has just apostatizsd
from the Jewish faith to the Christian
He won Jenny by assiduity of attention
beyond all parallel. He never left her
side. Her tastes were his, her opinions
Were his own. And in wedding him, Jen-
ny firmly and legally so arranged all her
property that her husband will never be
able to touch penny Of it, and he sub
mitS to such weekly allowance of pook-
ct money, &C., as, in her judgment, his
good conduct may deserve. These are
all facts, and you may depend upon
them"

Chineae in Californian, !.

We have recently noted the influx of
Chinese immigrants into California. All
accounts agree that they are among the
most industrious. orderly and frugal of
the population. The annexed paragraph
from the San Francisco Herald of the 9th
April, describes one of their peculiar OBJ
seryances:
THE CH1xEsE.-The petticoated gentry
seem to be holding ''protracted meet
ing" amidst which they have had ap-
parently brave feasting, Their general
habit of absteniousness has been made RAJ
Their subject of complaint by those who
think they ought to spend for the good of
the country, fair proportion of their
earnings /; but onthe present occasion they
would appear determined to redeem them
selves from such reproach, Great pots of
rice, carcasses of hogs, sheep and goats,
flanked by liberal supply of chicken
tixens," have formed the staples of their
teasts, to which also were added a due
proportion of preserves and sweet cakes
These solids were probably diluted by
copious draughts of tea. for there did not
appear any symptoms of q stronger infu-
sion. Their festivities Of course have been
enlivened by music and the performers,
seated on the top Of aporch, worked away
in style that the experts no doubt en-
tirely appreciated.
Their own countenances expressed un-
bounded satisfaction, and crowd of HON
breI in the street below demanded frequent
encores, Not "being to the manor born"
our enthusiasm did not reach any very
extraordinary height, but on the contra
ry, after the vain. attempt to comprehend
their melody, we came to the conclusion
that. like italian "brayuras," it was past
our understanding. The instruments con-
sisted of y gong, a triangle. a sort of cas-
tanetS. and two drums. These latter were
similar in shape, but of different mate
rial one being of brass and the other
of wood, over which was stretched parch-
ment, as in our style, Instead, however,
of being long cylinder. they were not
more than six inches deep, and as it sp-
pearcd with one end opened. The first
produced dull brazen clang, and the
wooden one sounded like the rafting of a
wood-Pccksr on hollow log. The sounds
of the different instruments joStled and
tumblod over each other without any cere-
mony but the effect Was very fine, at
least as far as the Chinese were concerned,
for they listened as if tho melody was
charming their very soul out of them.

TWANG TWANGKY,
Emperor of the Faithful.

KossUTH's IDEA OF GLoRY.-An address
that was presented to KoSsuth while in
New York, referred to the glory attached
to his name. In reply. he said, "Allow
me to remark, that consider that the
word glory ought to be blottcd out from
the dictionary, in respect to individuals,
and only left in to nations. Whatever a
man can do through the longest life which
Providence may accord to him, with the
strongest faculties which it is the happy
lot of a few to possess. and with the ut
most e1ertions of which man is capable
whatever a man may do in behalf of his
country and in behalf of humanity, can
never be even 10 much as duty calls ; still less
can it be enough to merit the word glory.
Let to man be attached the word duty,
and the word glory be reserved to ma
tons"

A BOARD OF Mrp1oA1. RxASIiiEs,r1ns. q, E.-Tbe

~
A BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS. - The
Medical Society of Virginia, which has
been Incorporated by the Legislature, has
petitioned that body to establish Board
Of Medical Examiners, whose duty it shall
be to examine every person who shall
hereafter wish to practice in the State,
and to declare by law that no person who
shall not receive the certificate of such
Board shall be allowed to practice. We
think the idea very good one, as it is
calculated to protect the community
against quackery; an evil with which Il
is deeply affected at present. We under
stand the proposed method of choosing
the Board to be as follows: The Medical
Society which meets once year, will ap-
point from its own body eleven persons
as candidates. Ofthese the Governor is to
select seven, who arc to act as Medical
Examiners for three years, These Ex-
aminers are to meet twice year, for the
purpose of examining applicants, for the
right to practice; once in the eastern part
of the State, and once in the WESTERN
The idea seems to be the same with that
pursued with regard to students Of law,
who obtain diploma at the University,
yet cannot practice until they shall have
obtained license from three Judges.

CHLoRoFoRM.-The London Lancet
says there are two modes of administer
ing chloroform one consists in using a
small quantity of it, to be inhaled in a
very short time. with hardly any admir-
turo Of atmospheric air. Patients are in
this manner quickly rendered insensible.
The method is dangerous and though
but comparatively few accidents have &C.
Cured, the latter have struck such terror
into practitioners and members of tho
community, that this mode should never
be followed. Chloroform should first be
inhaled with a large quantity of atmos-
phoric air, respiration should be allowed
to SO on regularly and formally, the chic
reform is then gradually inhaled in more
concentrated form, and left off as soon as
any unpleasant symptoms occur. Eight
or ten minutes, and from three to Ave
drachms of Chloroform are thus employed
in obtaining an@thesis but this loss of
time and chloroform is made up in the alb
sencs of danger. Operations Of the most
delicate kind can thus be carried on for
q whole hour IA much as three ounces or
more of chlorotorm are consumed, and no
accident occurs.

TRICK OF SxAa-BREAKrAs LOST
Last Thursday morning. the Lady Pike,
from st. Louis, had her larboard guard,
cook house, and a couple of state
rooms demolished by snag. 1t came up
through the guard without any warning
whatever, and threw the breakfast for the
passengers, which was just ready to be
dished, into the river-2ishes, stove and
all. including the second cook, who natu-
rally followed the plates. The breakfast
went down to the bottom, when the cook
abandoned the chase, having caught moth
ing but duck in the tUatsr. He was sa-
we'd but the breakfast was lost. A gem
tleman. just at the introduction of the
snag, left his berth, which was immedi-
ately occupied by the monsters head,
which protrudsd through the deck several
feet-LouisvR3e Courier.

UNFoSruNATE AFFAIR BETWEEN Two
RELATIvEs.-Hon. Edward A. flanagan,
late United States Senator for Indiana,
and Capt. Duncan, his brother-in-lav lir-
ing i'll tho same house at Covington, In
diana. on the most friendly terms, had a
personal Misunderstanding on the 7th
inst ItappsArs that on the day and even
ing previous, they had both been drinking,
and that on the morning of the sad occur
renee, Capt. Duncan went up stairs to
Mr., Hannegan's room, and an alteration
ensued between the parties, when Capt.
Duncan, gave Mr.. flanagan a slap in the
face. Mr.. flanagan. upon the indignity
he felt, and the impulse of the moment,
struck Capt. Duncan with knife in the
lowor part of the stomach, inhicting se-
we're. and what is thought, dangerous
wound. Mr., Hannegan, recovering from
his passions. aroused by the supposed in
dignity, suffers the most excruciating tor
lures in the reflection that he has perhaps
struck down as kind friend as he has on
earth. A rumor reached Cincinnati in the
early part of the week that Duncan had
died of his wound.

Sons OF TEMPERANCE IN VIRGINIA.
Grand Division ofthe Sons of Temperance
of Virginia, at its late session at Front
Royal, unanimously resolved not to unite,
as an organized body, in favor of the
Maine law, but to leave the members to

dictate. There are now over $4,000
members attached to the order in the
State, 5000 of whom were initiated du-
ring the nine months ending the first of
January. The receipts were $38,816;
and expenses for benefits $1l, 693. lcav-
ing $38, 816 in cash on hand. The Grand
Division is to hold an extra session in
Richmond on the Cd of June, to welcome

CRUELTY ON BoARp THE u. S. Sur CIR

Pensacola. April Goth, after stating that
the U. s. Ship Cyane, during her late
cruise, was three times hard and fast
ashore, and was with difficulty extricated
from peril, adds:
"This morning, through very heavy
rain, for three or four hours, the squadron
and the citizens of Pensacola have been
treated by the Cyane with a sight of a
marine hung up on the inside of the main
rigging, by the aOrists and ankles-a sight
little less painful than that of hanging by
the neck, and torture greater to the in
dividual soldier"

PER1LoUs OCouRRENcE.-Am most thrill
ling and perilous occurrence took place
on last Wednesday, near Mundorff'a Is
land, York county, Pa, which came near
killing very worthy young minister,
Rev. Edmund W, Kirby, of the Baltimore
Annual Conference, 1t appears that he
was riding on horseback ON the tow-path
OF tho Tidswater Canal, and Just after
passing Fry's lock the animal became
frightened. from some unknown cause,
and backed over the wall with his rider,
falling down the steep precipice on the
crHggy and dangerous rocks below, a
depth of nearly sixty feet. The animals
bones were broken in many places, and he
died shortly after; but it is truly wonder
full that young Kirby escaped with life.
He was taken up on being discovered, and
carefully removed to the residence of
Isaac Mundortf, Esq, whore DIR. Baldwin
of York county, and DR.. Ksnling, of Ian

rendered all the aid which professional
skill could afford. 1t is thought he will
