ket themselves. There is nothing either in the
condition Of the country the prices of stocks to
tempt the public to buy either for investment OF
speculation. People who have money are waiting
for tho new government loans which are about to
be placed on the market. 1t will be seen from
the above table that there was no material change
in prices last week. The natural tendency of the
market, in the absence OF outside buying, and in
the prevailing uncertainty Of public affairs would
be to decline. But this tendency is checked. by
the bold operations Of the bulls, who are buying
freely all kinds Of securities, borrowing money on
them at q per cent, and slowing them away,
in the hope Of higher prices some day in the
future.
The report of the Secretary Of the Treasury,
which was published in yesterdays HERALD, is
the main topic of discussion in financial circles
The Secretary states that he requires for the fiscal
year 1852 not less than 1859, 5Sl. Of this he
proposes to raise $4,000 900 by customs duty
ranging from TX to 4 cents per pound on sugar,
cents per pound on coffee and Is 20 cents per
pound on tea. Thirty millions of dollars, he est.
mates, will be yielded by the present tariff as it
stands, and by imposing duty on articles now 10
the free list and reducing duties now so high as to
be prohibitory other 1000 900 may be gained for
the revenue. The revenue from the sales of lands
and miscellaneous sources may be estimated at
s3,6oo,o And lastly 100000 600 may be raised
either by direct tax Of Il of one per cent on real
and personal property throughout the country, or
by special taxes on stills, distilled liquors, ale and
beer, tobacco bank notes, spring carriages silver
ware, jewelry and legacies. Turning from the
resource Of direct taxation to that of loans, he
suggests national loon Of *1Oo, 900, 900, bearing
a-i0 per cent interest annually: the certificates
to be Treasury notes Of various denominations,
from $50 to $1,000, and to be redeemable at the
pleasure of the government after three years. H.
also suggests public loan Of 500, 900 900, bear
ing seven per cent interest, and to be negotiated
at or above par, either here or in
Epglaud, the principal to be redeemed at
the pleasure of the government after thirty
years. and the interest to be secured BY the direct
taxes above mentioned. Finally, he recommends
that the government be authorized to put in circu-
iation Treasury notes for SO $40 each, bearing
$1,000 per cent annual interest and payable one
year from date, the aggregate amount of such
Treasury notes not to exceed $50, 900 900. The

pcryad,s the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part Of it. No organ Is free
from ts attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food. impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above all, by the vcnereal infection. What
ever be its origin it is hereditary IN the con-

tubcrcles; in the pltHds swellings; and ON
the SUI face, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gentlcrs in the blood. depresses

qaently vast numbers perish by disorders
which. although not scrofnlous in their nature,

cilnasps the human family has its origin directly
