The undersigned practitioners OF medicine in the
city OF New Y Y0rk having had the occasion to wit
ness the practice of Drs. LeBrun and Duflon in the
diseases of the Ear and Eye, laying aside all fso-
lessonaI jealousy freely admit that' the course pur,
sued by them in treating diseases of those tender
organs, from the unparalleled success attending it, is
we worthhe attention Of our professional brethren
throughout the United States, believing as we do
that AulHl Surgery has not met with that attention
whchits importance demands.
Their system Of treating the disease of the mid
die and internal Ear in chronic complicated cases
by means of "Medicatell Faporn forms a n9w era
in the practice OF Aurpl S, rgery, and fills up
void which has long been ietby the general prac.
tiuoncr in the diseases Of the Eye, they seldom
resort to an operation. AS skillul Aurists and De
u.ists enthusiastically devoted TO their profession
we cordially recommend them to such as may need
| their aid.

It is morti(ying in The extreme, to re-
fleet that, in the capital Of an independent

graded, not merely to level with the

rvLOnD NAPIER's Fste in Washing.

EELoRD NAPIER's Fete in Washing

eldest daughter of her Majesty Queen
Victoria, has furnished an opportunity for
the display of the admirable quality of
toadyism in which a certain portion OF
the inhabitants of the model Republic SO
intensely delight. Il seems that It Is

Of course, such male and female funkies
are, as a general thing, to be found only
among the babitues Of Washington City,
who in their devotion TO place hunting
and place keeping, have sacrificed what
little self-respect they ever possessed; but
it is notifying, because foreigners and
the representatives Of foreign courts at
Washington City, cannot discriminate
between this class and the independent,
self respecting population of the country

The ARREST OF JACK HENDERSON IN
KANsAs.---The osiensible motive for the
arrest of Jack Henderson was charge
Of tampering with The election returns.
The charge was no doubt true. and his
arres, legal but the Free State men had
another motive for preventing his leaving
the Territory just at this time. Jack had
just returned from Washington, where
he had been counseling Mr.. Buchanan
in regard to Kansas, and was on his re-
turn to Washington at the time Of his
arrest, with the official copy Of the Le-
compton Constitution in his possession.
A few Free State men, who knew the
fact, determined that this official copy,
should never reach Mr.. Buchanan, and
took this means of preventing it. The
Administration are very anxious for this
official copy. but it is safe enough, and
need not be expected at Washington at
all. Jack Henderson, may, in due time
if no frauds are proved against him, (and
Calhoun has destroyed the vote to pre-.
vent such proof,) be released, and 60 to
assist Mr.. Buchanan by his advice and
counsel, but the "officia copy Of the
Constitution" will not 60 with him.

The Presidents Message.

No one will hereafter doubt that Bu'
chanan is al the head of the slavebolding
conspiracy to force pro-slavery consti.
tuition upon ihe people Of Kansas. His
message to Cngress yesterday settles that
question. We have but an imperfect re-
port of the document. but enough is CIV
en- to show where he stands. Il is char
scterisIic Of the man. He has, from want
of nerve, been made 10 do the bidding of
the Southern propaganda. Yet while he
does their work, he attempts to shield
his conduct behind certain messages and
letters which emanated from Robert ].
Walker. He admits that the United
States troops were KEEP. in Kansas to
overcome the people,-although he calls
it rebellion. He throws the entire blame
Of the difficulties in Kansas upon the free
State men. He says ''lhat Kansas is 10.
day as much of a slave State as Georgia
or South Carolina" The message we
trust will open the. eyes Of the people o
the free States as TO the policy Of the Ad
ministration. -State Journal.

Brilliant Fete.

., ,s~.. WASHINGTON, January 20.
Much anxiety was felt during yester-
day by the party goers, when the rumor
was circulated that the grand ball in hon
or of the marriage of the Princess Royal,
given by Lord Napier was to be post
poned, but the select few who had re-
ceived cards, nolsed il around. and the
elite and distinguished people Of Wash
ington were nearly all present. The al.
ready spacious mansion had been enlar-
gcd for The occasion, and the magnificent
saloons were radient with splendor. The
most attractive object was the portrait of
Her Majesty the Queen, to whom all
hoped the day had been happy one.
Miss Lane although not yet out Of
mourning, made her first appearance this
winter. The members Of The Cabinet
we're present with their families the
Senate was represented, the regal and
queenlike Mrs Douglass shining as a
bright star on the occasion.
Any attempt at an elaborate description
of the elegant ladies', and their gorgeous
and magnificent toilets, must be given up,
for they were so numerous never could
do all of them justice. Our noble hostess,
Lady Napier, charmed all who met her,
dispensing alike, her kind hospitality and
distinguished and perfect manners. Her
toilette was splendid, the "corps diplo-
malique" were all in court costume, in
superb dresses, embroidered with gold
and sparkling with jewels. oa5 s'il.

HoNoRs TO GEN. HAvELooK. The
honors paid to the memory Cf General
Havelock in New York and Baltimore,
BY lowering the flags Of the shipping at
half mast, were q graceful tribute TO
christian heroism, and were as deserved
as they were unexpected and unusual
A few months ago he was unknown be-
yond his own sphere Of action, but by a
series of memorable achievements, he has
commended himself to the admiration Of
the world. He possessed qualities that
are not often found in the camp. With
ndomilable courage he united a rigid
observance of the precepts Of christianity,
and his men seemed TO have profted by
his example, for they were generally dis
tinguished from other soldiers by the ap.
pellation of ''saints." Lord Cough paid
the General high compliment when he
said: "Havelock meyer blun1ers, and his
"men are never drunk" Moreover, he
sprang from the people, and won by his
own merits The distinction that is gener.
ally gained in the British service by
aristocratic influence. Surely there was
nothing improper in the expression of
regret, by the lowering Of flags. when
this christian hero died. Commercial
