from Oregon and Washington Territories, for
treatment of every form of disease, and there is
not one who will come forward and express dis
satisfaction; on the contrary the Doctor is daily
in receipt Of letters expressive of gratitude and
thankfulness, some of which are published be-
low by permission:
SACRAMENTO, May Is, 1855.
DEAR SIR:-Such is the thankfulness | feel
for the preservation of my health of body and
mind, ana believe of my life that hope [ will
not be considered obtrusive in rendering my
thankful Acknowledgements for restoring me to
health, end making my life boon worth pre-
serving, when it had become a burden too great
for me to bear. Victim as | was to vice that had
undermined my constitution and developed
train OF nervous symptoms, such as nervous de-
biity, headache, distressing timidity, selfdS-
trust, dizziness love of solitude, loss of memory
and want of resolution, besides loss of strength
and energy, which made my waking moments
wretched and my sleep unrefreshing, and was
fast bringing me to the grave; but, thanks to
your skill ! am restored to health, yigor and en-
ergy. Hoping to guide others where they may
find relief you have my permission to make this
public. Gratefully yours,
LEONARD WAITE.

STOCKTON, May d, 1855.
DEAR SIR: Having entirel y recovered from my
sickness, avail myself of this opportunity to
return my thankful acknowledgements for the re-
lief you have given me. When think of the dis
tessing bodily weakness under which have suf-
fered, and the nervousness headache, fearfulness,
want of confidence, dizziness, restlessness, weak
ness in the limbs, loss of memory, confusion of
ideas, dislike for society, nocturnal emissions,
and many other symptoms which had made my
life miserable, can hardly express the gratitude
l feel, for my existence had become burden to
me, and nothing afforded me the least gratiica-
ton; whilst now feel perfectly well, and can
enjoy life to my entire satisfaction. Knowing
that there are many afflicted as | have been, you
have my permission to make use of this letter as
you think proper.

above form the cabinet; Aberdeen, Newcastle
and Lord John Russell go out; Panmure comes
in, and the balance are the same as the late
ministry. The Vienna Peace Conference has
not yet opened. Affairs in the Crimea are un-
changed. There is reported battle between
the Russians and Turks on the Danube, in
which the Turks were victorious.
Official despatchs from Raglan, dated 23rd
and oath, both allude to the improvement in
the weather, and speak eheeringly of future
prospects. The latter says, we resume our
wori, before the town with renewed activity.
Eight Austrian merchant ships were fred into
by the Russians at Galatz. Austria has de-
manded an explanation. Earl Lucan has been
recalled from the command of the cavalry in
the Crimea. The Sultan intends to rise a na-
tional voluntary loan. Abdel kader has asked
Tor the command of troops in the Crimea. The
English missionaries in Poland have been or
dered to leave the Russian territory. 1t is said
that the Emperor of France will take command
of the army operations on the Rhine. 1t is said
that the operations for assault are completed.
The Russian army want supplies. 4 sortie was
made on the 23d, and great loss WAS sustained
by the French. 1t is rumored that the Zoaves
mutineed, and 400 has been sent to CONSTANT
nopel. They demanded the retreat from the
Crimea. The rumOr is doubtless incorrect
The Russian forces on the frontier of Austria
have been ordered to retreat to the interior.
Queen Victoria had issued a Proclamation
forbidding the British at home or abroad from
aiding the enemy or supplying him with NUM-
tons of war. The German Diet has decided to
place the principal contingent upon war foot
ing. The Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies
have sanctioned the treaty of alliance.
