Departed this life at the residence of Dr. S. H. Webb, in this city, on Monday morning the 17th April, 1854, about 6 o'clock, of pulmona- ry consumption, MARY ELIZA, daughter of J John and Elizabeth Davis, in the ninth year of her age.
 It may be truly said that she was the child of great afaiction; she was confined to the bed and house for about six months, but in all her sickness she was never heard to murmer or complain, and bore all her aflictions with chris tian-like patience and resignation to the end of her days A few moments before her depar- ture, while in the arms of her aunt, she said to her, l am dying. Her aunt asked why she thought SO. Oh! said she, am so sick, but am going to my God.
 Thus passed from the stage of life, at an early period, Mary Eliza, the last surviving child of her departed mother. She was mem- Der of the Methodist Sabbath school in this ci- ty, where she was always found on each re- turning Sabbath, when her health would per- init. Farewell, little afflicted one, you are gone from the evil to come and now freed from all pain, and in the house of your Father and God and at rest forever. A FRIEND.

E0P Over Two Thousand different persons ir
 this city, who were afflicted with Rheumatism during the last two months, have been cured by the use of McLean's Volcanic Oil Eminent.
 is truly celebrated remedy and has done more to alleviate human suffering than any medicine eve, discovered One application will relieve the most vi olent pain.
 few applications will cure a bruise or sprain Two bottles will cleanse purify and heal the mos, loathsome sore or ulcer, and it will almost instantly remove inflammation and heal the most severe burn or scald without 'scar."
 For chapped hands, chilblans sores or eruptions on the skin it is the only true remedy.
 Two applications will make the skin soft, white and smooth as an infants.
 Every family should have supply constantly on hand for use in time of need
 FOR HORSES AND OTHER ANIMALS McLeans celebrated liniment is far superior to any remedy for the cure of lameness, bruises cuts. old sores, sweeney, scratches galls swengs sprains etc Read the following from Mir. Wells, of the St. Louis omnibus company:
 This is to certify that have used the Mexican Mus tang Liniment and McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment on our omnibus horses that were lame sprained and for swellings, and l have found McLeans Volcanic Oil Liniment to be the best liniment.
 ERASTUS WELLS, of the firm of Case & Co. Then trlte no longer with those compounds. McLean's Liniment is the only reliable remedy for external diseases on man or beast. Try it. and you will be convinced.

THE FRENCH ARMY OF THE EAsT.-The fol- lowing notice respecting the French army of the East is from the Paris correspondence of the New York Commercial Advertiser:
 Prince Napoleon's effects, his tent, his nsate- rseh are ready, and are collected in gallery in the Champs Elysees. The medical service is completely organized, and the whole staff has left for Toulon. The religious service is to be organized in accordance with decree published oy the Moniteur yesterday. The Minister of war will appoint as many almoners to be att tacned to the army as he may consider proper. One VIII be attached to each division in activity, and one to each grand ambulance. They re- celve military rank and the salary of their grade Each one is to have horse at his ser- vice throughout the war This, says the de- cree, lis because it is of the highest interest that our soldiers, in the midst of the trials of war. be not deprived of the encouragement and con. solations of religion.'
 It is understood that Prince Napoleon will carry out with poet, marine.painter, several designers, drughtsmen, and a number of botan- ists, geologsts, etc., who will gather what infor- nation they can, each in his own peculiar walk. The artists are to take down paper sketches of all collisions between the two armies of sufi- cient importance to be preserved at Versailles and the other historicals museums.

THE WARD CASE AND MIR. CRITTENDEN We find the following paragraph in the Eliza bethtown (Ky.) Register. Of course the in. formation will not surprise any person:
 We are enabled to make this announce. ment from having been permitted to peruse some kind letters from him to Matt F. Ward volunteering his services to defend him. When it is remembered that the family of Mir. Ward have been politically opposed to Mr. Crittenden for more than thirty years, all must concur in saying 1t is one of the noblest acts of friend ship ever recorded, and it justifes us in expres- sing an opinion, long entertained, that in his day and generation John J. Crttenden is "the noblest Roman of them all'
 This fact speaks loudly for MT. Ward. All who know the high moral worth of Mr. Crit tenden, and his great purity of character will at once concur with us in the opinion that Mir. Crittenden would never volunteer to defend a bad man, much less a murderer. Mir. c. will be here tomorrow or next day.

IMPORTANT TO SHIP OwNERs.-Letters re. ceived from England by New York merchants stete that orders have been received in Liver pool from the emigration office in London, by which all passenger vessels in the Liverpool trade are compelled to carry four seamen to every hundred tons, so that a ship of say 1900 tons has to take sixty men or number one third larger than can be of any possible service The Journal of commences says it has pro. duced much excitemet in New York among the Liverpool shipping merchants, who feel that the subject should immediately receive the at- tention of our government.

TNE UNKINDEsT CUT.-The two factions in. to which the New York democracy split up a short time since, have no longer real existence --"Soft'' having froze during the winter into Hard, and Hard" thawing within the last month into Soft. Politics in the Empire City are an amusing cotillion, in which the chief rule is "change partners" and "cross over." John Van Buren has little to say in opposition to the Nebraska bill, and may be said to fight shy of all responsibility with regard to it, while MT. Bronson, the Achilles of the Hards-he whose wrath was
 "The direful spring
 Of woes unnumbered,"
 to the democracy-he who out-heroded Herod. and out hardened the Hards, on the Freesoil question, is now in open antagonism to the ad- vocates of the Nebraska bill. To cut all his old friends, who gave him their "most sweet voices," was the unkindest cut of all, and the most eccentric. We would as soon have ex- pected than an Ethiop could change his skin, as that the champion of the northern pro-sla- very party, would degenerate into sentimen- tai and romantic Freesoiler. And yet it is so. MT. Bronson, whose "decapitation' was the cause of all the rcw, has asdeliberately decapitat- ed his own party.-N. o. Delto.
