Jackson suggested that Commodore Hull held a too conspicuous place in public estl-
 nation to lack the best advice obtainable in
 his critical condition, and for this reason we
 should insist on having the aid of Dr. Chap
 man. He was called. After we retired from
 the patients room for consultation Dr. Chap
 man said, in his sprightly manner ''You are
 two rascals You know that the dear old
 hero must die, and you have called me to
 divide the responsibility" Then he very
 sedately and carefully discussed all the fea- lures of the case.
 Our united attention and efforts were without benefit. His strength abated daily. After the 7th or 8th of February he was un able to leave his bed. He declined the ser with him every evening till midnight. In the course of the evening of the 18th of February he repeated what he had said to me a few days previously 'I am not afraid to die. I have never knowingly wronged a human being, and to the best of my ability have always obeyed my God and served my He was perfectly tranquil and Awaking about midnight and pereeiVing me sitting by his bedside he said: ''It must be late. Why don't you go home? There is no reason why you should lose your rest I can call Mrs. Hull if I want anything" " Then he fell asleep, breathing easily. He walked again and said: Doctor, what o'clock is it :"
 I answered: 'Just half past one"
 Why don't you go home? It will be all over before daylight. 1 can die alone just as well as not" The next moment he was asleep. In short time his respiration and l circulation became irregular. l called Mrs. Hull, who was in the next room. He was At twenty minutes past ? | o'clock a. m., February 13, 1843, he expired | very tranquilly. Thus ended the life of him | who, an English writer said, was 'the first | man of any nation who ever took an English | frigate in a fair aad single fight" |

Jewish Druggists Ordered to Quit.
 VIENNA, March 23.-A very arbitrary order was promulgated in St. Petersburg to day commanding the Jewish apothecaries in that city to relinquish their business. The order was issued by the chief of police, but it is understood that General Ignatieff directed that it should be promulgated. Here the or der is construed as defiance of the remon- strances which have been made by the Eng fish, German, French and Austrian Jews agains the prosecutions to which their CO., religionists in Russia have been subjected, an the declaration that Russia will pay no attention to appeals made to her by all the rest of the civilized world on this subject. General Ignatieff is now the real ruler of Russia and his word overrules everything.

Mir. Curtin of Pennsylvania, favored the bill, say
 ing that while the burden of Congressman's talk OF the flo and on the stump is of labor this the question was, whether 100000 Chinese aborers shall one element of non-Caucasian labor have, the colored man, though it cost 75O GOO lives still an unsettled question: and it is false philosophy to say that this question of the relationship of the to our own in this country is not yet solved.
 Mir. Cannon, of Illinois, spoke in support of the bill, saying that few the floor would absolutely oppose it and he didn't think the amendments pro posed improved it.
 MT. Page closed the debate by appealing to the Re publican party with which he had worked ten years
 in the House in support of the bill declared in the platform and the sentiments of the late President.
 The vote on the amendment reducing the time to ten years stood 100 yeas, 13l nays. That the amendment reducing the time to fifteen years stood S7 to g9.

How Commodore Hull, of the Constitu- ton, Faced His Last Earthly Enemy.

How Commodore HulI, of the COnstitu-
 ton, Faced His Last Earthly Enemy.
 [Dr. Ruschenbarger in Stoddards Revew.l
 One day, early in January, 1843, while he was looking over some files of letters, he said, in the presence of Mrs. Hull ''If you think my life worth writing you will find all my papers in order and you will have little trouble" A day or two after, l found him sitting alone in his chamber. He said If am not better very soon l shall put some home questions to you. l wish to spare Mrs. Hull all the pam and trouble 1 can. l wish you to go to Laurel Hill and pick out lot for me. I mentioned it to Mrs. Hull several weeks ago, but 1t distressed her 80 much that I dropped it. Let the lot be on the hillside, where the water will drain off, because 1 do not like the idea of being waterlogged after 1 am dead" At my sugg' stion Mir. Fred eriek Brown, one of the managers of Laurel Hill cemetery, visited him, and selected a site which Mrs Hull afterwards examined and approved. Commodore Hull ordered a vault to be constructed, for which he gave verbally general plan, and detailed lnstruc tons for building the corners He sald he himself did not care to have over 1t anything but a plain flat stone; but if others wished to have a different kind of finish, they might do as they pleased.
 After the work was started, he said to me
  Hill business is settled, you must get an un- dertaker to come and measure me for cof- fin. It would not trouble me more than get ting measured for pair of boots. wish to spare Mrs. Hull as much as possible. It can be managed so that she will not know any thing about it." l objected that should Mrs. Hull learn by chance that the undertaken had been in the house. she would be greatly shocked. On my assurance that 1 would take care that she should be relieved of all matters of that kind, he at once acquiesced.
 More than once 1 requested the cOmmo' dore's permission to cell Dr. Nathaniel Chap man in consultation, but he declined, sayiAg pleasantly; "One good doctor is enough; l have full faith in you" My anxiety caused me to appeal to Mrs. Hull to influence the commodore to consent to a consultation She objected to Dr. Chapman At last it was agreed that might call Professor Samuel Jackson after two or three visits MT.

4 Question of Customs Duties.

NEW YORK, March 23.-One of the beauties of our complicated tariff system was illustra- ted today in the case of the Scotch yacht Madge, which was so successful in her con- tests with small American sloops last year. When she was brought here on the deck of the Anchoria steamer question was raised as to whether she was dut1able, but she was finally allowed to come in free on the state ment of the owner that she was sent for the special object of competing in the races and the promise that she would not be sold to any person living in this country. Her owner, James Coates, jr., has now got faster yacht and wants to present the Madge to the New York Yacht club but he cannot find out whether or not he will have to pay duty on her before giving her away. His agent to- day applied at the custom house for informa- ton as to what course he should pursue un- der the circumstances, and being referred to the Secretary of the Treasury wrote to that official asking first for special permission to give the Madge to the New York Yacht club i; secondly to know, if the duties must be paid how the vessel is to be classed and the amount that will have to be paid on her.
