MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. Wm X. Doherty's
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming a sine
qua non to the wei flare of our State and health
OF our citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputa.
ton, although it may excite SURPRISE is but the
signal of skill, and follows as the natural effect
of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage of
every available means that promised relief, but
without'success unti.they callcd.upon DR.. Do
herty, who in an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is a gen.
tlcman'who seeks, not by defamation ;of others.
to establish his reputation, to FEAR thcilsuper
structure of his own upon the ruin Of another's
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
a manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines, advises and recommends
without: charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept, or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctors make
charge unless he effects a,cure. This, he is able
to do, because hc:feels. the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola-
tion which appertains to that confidence Per
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do well to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, as for consultation he asks no
fee; nor does he insist on obedience 10 his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.

mute their Sentance-Fears of
an Attempt 10 Release Tyem-
Three more Placed ON Trial.
NEW York, October 28.-The Her
AIDS Toronto special says.
From all parts of the Provinces DIS
patches are coming demanding that no
mercy should be shown to the Fenians
found guilty.
/ think It is doubtful if the Grown
can find evidence strong enough to
convince the jury that the Rev. Mr..
Linden was in any way connected
with the raiders last June.
The threats made by the Fenians in
New York, to avenge the lives of these
men, if executed, do great injury to
the prisoners
Petitions are to be circulated inn
mediately, and sent to the Governor
general to be forwarded to the Homo
Government, to have the sentence
committed TO Imprisonment.
Three prisoners were arraigned to-
day and pleaded not guilty. Their
names are David Whaler, Patrick Nor
ton and David Drummond.
Fears are expressed by a majority of
the people that the Fcnians may escape
before the day Of their execution
through the aid of their friends from
the other side.
There arc now in the city Owe five
hundred Irish Americans apparently
out of employment, and waiting to do
something which ] believe is TO aid the
prisoners confined in the old jail. by
empowering their guards and then
escaping to the United States.
The Fenian prisoners at Cornwall
arc to be indicted on Monday for high
treason, and are to be tried on the fol-
lowing Wednesday, if the Grand Jury
find true bills against them.

Water-spouts In the Far West

The great masses of water which fall
like the bursting ola watcr-spout, in
the great interior basin between the
Rocky Mountains and tho Sierra Ne
vadas, are n wonderful and terrible
phenomenon. A late Virginia (Neva-
da) paper contains the following ac-
count:
The citizens Of Dayton were thrown
into n state of excitement, the day be-
fore, by the news from El Dorado can
on that q water spout had burst, and
was destroying every thing in its mad
dened course, rs it swept along to the
Carson River.
Piles of wood were carried rs if they
were bundles ofstraw, and it is suppos-
ed that Il number Of wood choppers,
who resided in the canon, have been
lost, as there were n great many per
sons engaged in wood-cutting there
This water-spout equals the one which
occurred in Esmeralda county two
years ago, when n party, consisting OF
Mr.. Hugh Glenn, his wife and mother,
were then travelling in a carriage. The
watcr-spout burst upon them, killing
Glenn's wife and mother, and destroy
ing the carriage.
One of the horses was so badly bruis-
cd that he died shortly after.
Last week q -water-spout burst in
Austin, Nevada, and for a short time
the main street was flooded destroying
adobe houses, injuring stores, &c. The
amount Of damage vas several thous.
and dollars. These water-spouts &C
count for the typographical appearance
of the country, which shows that they
have been quite frequent; and the
large powders that are seen isolated
on alkali flats and deserts no doub
have been washed there by water
spouts,

WASHINGTON, October 2S.-The Mex
lean Minister has received dispatches
from the city of Puebla, Mexico, con-
tanning official reports of the battle Of
Ixmiquilpain, where the Belgian
Legion was entirely cut to pieces.
Colonel Vanderswissen, the Belgian
Commander, attacked Ixmiquilpain, a
place thirty leagues from the City of
Mexico, defended by Mexicans who re-
pulsed the Belgian demonstration.
The Belgian Legion losttwenty officers
killed on the spot. The Legion re
tired to Tutula, leaving their artillery
and trains in the hands of the Next
cans. Their officers, who survived
that battle, have since embarked at
Vera Cruz for Belgium.

letter received here to-day.
VERA CRUR, October 12.-11 p. M
The steamer st. Wazair arrived here
early this evening.
General Castleran being on board.
His instructions are to send to France,
in two detachments, all the troops that
are here.
He brings, besides, n messenger from
Napoleon to Macmillan, advising him
to abdicate in favor of any body he
pleases, and 90 nome.
He is authorized to offer to Maxi
milan the protection Of the French
flag, With II view that he may return
safely to Mirmira.
Marquis de Gallift has no mission of
any kind, and ne only comes TO JOIN
his regiment and return to France.
General Bazainc came to Puebla to
meet General Castleran. The General
feels very sore against Macmillan for
the very discredita5le reports that
Carlotta has spread in Europe.

TIE LEGIsT,ATTRE.

Under the Governors proclamation the
Legislature is expected to meet to-day for
the purpose Of considering aud ratifying the
new constitutional amendment A number
Of the members were in the city last night,
but not enough, so far as we heard, to make
a quorum While some are detained at
home by unavoidable domestic considera-
tons, there are some others who may not be
inclined to appear in the imposing ceremo-
MES of the occasion. Whether there will be
a quorum or not for this purpose, therefore,
remains a problem, which the future must
solve.
The attempt which the editor Of the
Washington Chronicle makes, as we published
yesterday, to connect the President with a
conspiracy to defeat a quorum, we have the
best of reasons to pronounce a gratuitous
calumuy. That President JOHNSON believes
the proposed amendment is untimed and
impolitic is very well understood but that
he has interfered otherwise than by the ex
preston of opinion in the matter is an as
sumption that cannot be sustained.
In this connection, we observe that there
is an evident reluctance on the part of most
Of the Governors Of the Northern States to
convene their Legislatures in extra session
on the subject The revolutionary organs
Of Congress are assigning as a reason for this
hardness that the Northern States do not
wish to be or appear precipitate in their ac-
ton upon so grave question. They con-
tend that they wish to obtain an expression
of the popular wish upon the matter. How
ever uniavorably this may contrast with the
hastv and indecent action Of the Legislature
of Connecticut, in ratifying the amendment
in opposition to the directly expressed will
Of the people on the question Of negro suf-
fraCe when it was Immediately in issue last
fall, the deliberation thus manifested is high
" commondable, and furnishes a significant
hint 10 Tennessee to pause at the threshold
Of a contamination, which viii lead to an
tagonisms Of which the wisest Of our people
have no ADEQUATE conception.
