The Curative Effect of Cranes.

interesting account of the curative effects of
grapes, in various disorders of the body
They act firstly, by introducing large
quantities of finds into the system, which,
passing through the blood, carry off by per.
SEPARATION and other excretions, the eflcte and
injurious materials o; the body; secondly, as

nationally and methodically, aided by sui,a-

clan, this valuable curative agent can he
made to produce the most varied effects on
the constitution. 1t also possesses the ad-
vantage of being acceptable to invalids. The
treatment LASTS from three to six weeks
The quantity of grapes that may be con-
sumed varies from one to four pounds per
day, commencing with small quantities,
which are gradually increased. The skins
and seeds must not be swallowed. In the
absence of grapes, the most beneficial effects

GREAT BRITAIN-In the House of
Commons Mr.. Ewar,s asked whether
seeing the possibility of privateering

the Southern Confederacy, the Ameri-

naval force in the Gulf of Meeico to
protect British property in American
ships, and if privateers sailing under
the flag of an unrecognized power
would be dealt with as pirates.
Lord John Russell said that her Mai

naval force for the protection of Brit

The government had received &C.

The NEGROES AFTER HENRY i

Of the negroes encamped at Beavers
Greek, near the Virginia line:
s'Their object is not to seize Har-
per's Ferry, but the person Of the re-
doubtable sage Of the Accomac-ex-
Governor Henry A. Wise himself
They look upon Wise as the murderer
Of John Brown, and their determlna-
ton to have his head, no matter what
the sacrifice necessary to obtain it
The men in camp are all we'll dressed
and literally supplied with pistols
They are principally from Canada,
and expected to receive large acces-
sions to their numbers before they
start on their mission of vengeance
They are said to be determined set
of fellows, and the Ex-Governor need
expect no mercy if they can but lay
hands upon him."

ever shown in times of peril.
