WASHINGTON CITY Shin -PLAsTERs. bill has
been introduced into the Senate of the Unted
States by Mr.. Adams, which provides that It any
person or persons, body polite, or corporation
within the District of Columbia zhallnaake, emit
issue. utter. sign. draw, or endorse any bank
note, promissory note, or any Instrument Of wrl-
ting for the payment or delivery of money, cr
other valuable thing, or Of anything purporung
to be valuable thing. of less denomination than
five dollars. to be used as paper currency or as
circulating medium, either in lieu OF money, or
of any other currency, shall forfeit aud pay the
sum of ten dollars for every such piece of paper
thus manufactured and issued: one half TO the
USE Of any person who shall sue therefor, and The
other half 10 the county of Washington. IL II
made unlawful to offer to pass such paper under n
penalty Of not less than FIVE more thnn 10 dol
lars for each offence; the fine to be divided in like
manner If any person or corporation shall fail to
redeem their small notes, ON presentation, in gold
or silver, such parties negleeting or refusing,
shall forfeit and pay the sum oftwenty dollars.
QrAck MEprcINEs.--A bill is now pending be-
fore the Senate of Virginia, providing that the
box. bottle or envelope containing any nostrum
or quaok medicine exposed for sale in this Com
monwealtb shall have connected Herewith "A label,
in which the ingredients of such nostrum or quack
medicine shall be printed in English" The in
vocation Of Legislative interpostion in this matter
seems not be relisbed by the Druggists and
Apotheoaries in Richmond, who have held n
meeting, at which Alexander Duyal presided, and
a preamble and resolution were adopted, setting
forth that the bill was introduced to throw out OF
competition with the regular faculty n class Of
remedies, which, while they did not pretend to re-
commend them, had been used by the public, who
had tested their efficiency, and yielded to them
reputation which has given them currency and
value with the people
We hope the bill will become n law. Human
health is too delicate and precious to be tamper
cd with by every mountebank and quack, who
chooses To concoct nostrum, and prey upon the
childish credulity of the ignorant and the afflict
ed. So far from these compounds coming into
competition with the regular faculty" we
believe them, to be promoters of disease, and con
seqnentlyof the necessity for medical treatment

How Soldiers Fare in Landing.

The showers Sncreased in violence about mid
night, and early in the morning the water fell In
drenching sheets, which pierced through the blank
cts and greatcoats of the bouseless tentless sol
diers 1t their first bivouac-a hard trial enough
in all conscience, worse than all their experiences
of Bulgaria and Gallipoi; for there they had their
tents, and now they learned to value their canvas
coverings at their true worth. Imagine all these
generals and young lords and gentlemen exposed,
hour after hour to the violence of pitiless storms,
with no bed but the reeking puddle under the sat
urated blankets bits of useless water proof wrap
pers, and the twenty odd thousand of poor fellows,
who could not get 'dry bts' of ground, and had
to sleep, try to sleep, in little ochs and water
courses-no fire to cheer them, no hot grOg, and
the prospect of no breakfast-imagine this and add
to it that the nice ''change of Iinen' had become
wet abomnation, which weighed the poor mems
kits down, and you will admit that this seasoning
was of rather violent character-particularly as il
came after all the luxurles of dry ship stowage.-
Sir George Brown slept under a cart tilted over.
The Duke had some similar contrivance. SIR
De Lacy Evans the only general whose staff
had been careful enough to provide him with tent.
In one respect the rain was of services it gave them
temporary supply of water, but then it put fire

wood to make it. The country is however desti-
tute of timber.

scour the country in search of prov and carts

IHE DEBARKATION OF THE FRENCH.-A little
after o'clock the FIRST French boat put of from
one OF the men-of-war; not more than fifteen or SIX
teen men on board Of her. She was beached oui-
city on shore at the southern extremity Of the red
cliff. The crew leaped out; they formed into
Knot on the strand, and seemed busily engaged for
moment over one spot of ground, as though they
were digging grave. Presently flagstaff was
visible over their heads, and few moments more
the trieoor was up to the top, and uttered out
gaily In the wind, while the men took off their hats
and no doubt did their 'Tire PEmpereurn p in GOOD
style. The French were thus the FIST to take pos
session and seizin of Crimea. There was no en-
emy IN sight. lhe most scrutinizing gaze at this
moment could not have detected hostile uniform
along the shore. The French Admiral fired gun
shortly after o'clock, and the Decentralization of
their troops commenced. In % minutes, they say
that they got 5000 men on shore. Tbs was very
smart work, but II must be remembered that nearly
all the French army were on board hDe-of-ba;tle
ships, and were at once carried from the decks to
the land, by the men-of-war's boats. II was found
that their small brigs and schooneTs were neither
safe comfortable, and that they better suit
ed for carrying stores and horses than men. The
fleet of French men-of-war carried more than 20,-
0CO men. Their whole force to be landed consist
ed OF $4,000 men. Our army amounted to 1900
men, and were embarked in a vast number of trans
ports, covering vast extent of water. But they
were carried IN comfort and safety; and though
there still much sickness on board, it is Moth
ing compared to the mortality among the closely
packed French The instant the French had lanc-
ed regiment, company was pushed on to recon-
noitre-s -skirmshers or pickets were sent in front.
As each regiment followed in column, its prede-
cessors deployed, extended front, and advanced in
light marching order en- tirqiiieur, spreading out
like fan over the plains 1t was most curious
and interesting to observe their progress and to
note the rapid manner in which they were appro-
priating the soil. In an hour after their first de-
tachment had landed, nearly 1900 troops were on
shore, and their advanced posts family dis
cernible between three and four miles from the
beach, like little Nack spots moving over the
fields, and darkening the highways and meadow
paths.

The Search in the Arctic Sea

Return of the British Ships-Arriral of Capt.
MChTe-The Search abandoned By the British.
At ten o'clock yesterday the Phoenix, screw, one
of the last expedition fitted out by the British gov
ernment for the North Sea, dropped anchor in our
waters, having on board Capt. M'CLURE, the hero
of Arctic navigation and several of the crew Of his
vessel 1t will be remembered that in MAY of 1850.
an expedition was sent for the double purpose of
ascertaining the fate of Sir JoHN FRANKLIN and of
continuing the exploration of the ong-sought north
west passage. This expedition consisted of two
vessels, the Investigator, commanded by Capt
M'CLURE, and the Enterprise, under the command
Nof Capt. CoLLINsoN the first of which succeeded
in proving the existence of passage along the
northern coast of America Up to the year 1852,
account had arrived of the fate of those vessels
and accordingly an expedition was fitted out under
the command of Sir EDWARD BELcHER, consisting
of his own ship, the Assistance the Resolute
Capt. KELLETT, the Intrepid, Capt. M'CLINToCK.
and the Pioneer, Capt OSBORNE, to go to their
assistance. Thus, there were then altogether six
ships engaged in prosecuting the investigation in
which alone Capt. M'CLURE has been successful
In the May of this year the Phoenix, screw, and
the North Star and Talbot, storeships, were sent
out to the relief of those vessels and on their ar
rival found the whole of the two former expeditions.
with one exception, the Enterprise, completely
blocked up in the ice in the district embracing
Lancaster Sound, Beechy Island, and Wellington
Straits. In Melville Bay the ice was found to be
worse than it had been for forty years before
and everything gave promise of Winter unprece-
dentedly rigorous, while there prospect what
ever of getting the ships free this Summer Un-
der these circumstances, Sir EDWARD BELcHER, on
his own responsibility, ordered the abandonment of
the entire five vessels which are accordingly left to
their fate and the crew distributed among the store
ships. 1t was at Beechy Island the latter landed,
and the crew Of ths abandoned vessels had to pro-
ceed distance of two hundred miles overland to
reach them
1t is known here, and in Europe ere this, that
the Enterprise is safe consequently no further ap
prehensious will be felt for her fate AS reported
by the Plover the Enterprise had sailed from the
Arctic for China, on her way to England.
