French Popular Leans.

itN 0ooOAACDO Will NIlICll tllc
of the French people subscribe
to the national loans asked for by
the Emperor is remarkable, though
Enthusiastically characteristic. As many.
of our readers may not be aware how
these loans are raised, we copy from
the letter of a Paris correspondent Of
the Pennsylvania Enquirer, the fol-
lowing account of the plan adopted
for a similar object on a former
occasion:--"0n that occasion, per-
sons wishing to subscribe to the loan
were furnished with tickets, one only
to each individual, and were obliged
to fare quenc, that is, form line
and wait their turns at the Office of
subscription. They began to collect
as early as four o'clock, A. NJ, and
during the interval, until the books
were opened, a brisk trade in place
was driven. Considerable sums were
paid for advance places in the queue.
Stopping few. hours at Haue, about
three months since on my way to
Paris, / fell intoa conversation with
an intelligent French gentleman on
various topics, and among others, the
last loan. He told me that when the
books were opened at Havre, nothing
could exceed the eagerness Of
all classes, and particularly Of the
humble classes, to secure place upon
the register. Mechanics, servant
girls, beggars, sour, at least in ap.
pearance, we're seen in the long queu,
waiting their turns, with their little
heaps of coin, not always so very
little either, tied up in handkerchief
stockings and rags of every descrip
ton. Joy was depicted upon every
one who secured place on the 'bis
book while those who were exclude
from the excess of the offers over th,
demands of loan, retired homewarC
with sad faces, as if from the obse
Iquies of a near relative. This sys
item of popular loans is the CRANE
coup d. etat of Napoleon 1T. It ha
opened for his treasury resources per

The late crop would have fallen in
the foregoing statistics below $780,
600 bales but for the unusually large
receipts of new cotton at the South
ern ports in the month of August.
which amounted to 34,079 bales,
against 800 bales new cotton last
year, and 762 bales the year before.
At the same time it may be re-
marked that the actual production OF
the year is reckoned to have been
full 100000 bales; about 1900
bales being retainedin the interior by
reason Of low water in the Alabama,
Arkansas and Upper Louisiana riv-
ers.

The pernieious effect upon health
of the bread furnished by the New
York bakers is point much discuss
ed in that city. Some of them mix
large quantities of alum, saleratus,
and other dsleterious material With

has produced severe and repeated
attacks of.dysentery, only cured by
entire abstinence from bought bread.

PINE HILL, March 4th, 1854
DR.. G. M. JACKSON, PHILADELPHIA-DEAR
SRI have been subject Of Dyspepsia, in
its worst form, for the last FIVE years. Such
was my condition for twelve months that the
physicians and all who saw me said must die
While in this condition, was carried to the
watering places III Virginia, Tennessee and
North Carolina, but was not benefited by any
water to which was taken. While on my
way home. stopped a week at Rutherfordton.
a small village in North Carolina. to try the ef-
feet of some Chalybeate water in that place
About the last the week ! went into drug
store to get some medicine for nv child and
myself. There were several village physicians
In the store, and one Of them seemed to take
some interest 10 my case, and, after asking me
some questions, said he had been dyspeptic,
and had been greatly benefited by the use Of
"Dr. Hoohand's German Bitters," prepared by
You, and he insisted that would try the Bit
tiers. Healso called the next day at my room,
and insisted so much that would try them
that asked him to getIae one bottle. He did
it, and commenced takisngit as directed, and
l DO say was moro benefited by itthan all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching horne, one Of my neighbOrs
came to ne for a prescription and medicine,
Che dyspeptic,) and gave him nearly all the
Bitters had left, which effected much good in
his case. He has often called on me for more
of the same kind OF medicine, saying he was
more. benefited by it than any other ne had
taken, but have not been able to get any more
for him or myself since; viii you. therefore,
please ship me a.dozen or more as soon as POS
sible. Respectfully yours, W. SMITH.

The Sound Dues

The controversy now pending be-
tween the United States and Denmark
relative to the Sound Dues, gives in
terest to the following paragraph cut
from the columns of a contemporary
Journal: r
'SThe Sound is a narrow strait
lying between the Island of Zetland,
belonging to the Danes, and the
Swedish coast, and gives entrance to
the Baltic sea. The fortress of Cros-
burg Castle commands the passage,
and extracts a payment from all YES
sells entering the Baltic; the ships Of
Denmark herself having to pay as
well as foreign tonnage. The origin Of
this exactiOn is that in ancient times
Denmark undertook to build and
sustain certain lighthouses along the
coast, for which the Hansetowns agreed
to pay Toll.
'England, France, Holland, and
Sweden pay a duty of one per cent
on every cargo entering the Baltic.
Other countries, including the United
States, pay one and quarter per cent;
even Danish ships are taxed to this
rate. In the year 1926 treaty
recognising this duty was concluded
between the United States and Den
mark. This treaty, however aecor-
ding to one of its ,stipula.ions, may
be dissolved by either Of the parties,
provided it gives one years notice of
its intention; and, the requisite notice
having been given by the United
States Government In April last, the
treaty Will terminate next spring"

THE Vultres.-A letter from the
Crimea tells the following tale: @Vul-
lures are very numerous in the Cri-
mea- They smell the powder and
await the end Of the fight to throw
themselves on their victims. After
one of the recent combats, an English
officer was found on the battle field,
who had just expired, pressing in both
his arms one of these birds of prey,
dead like himself, and which he had
crushed in last effort of agony!"
