Aoci.teb.viion or Lakd.?The New York Journal of Commerce says: Out remarks a few days since about the adul teration of lard for shipment, it appears excited a suspicion, that, perhaps, the same thing had been attempted for the home trade. Some adul terations were formerly practised with Indian meal, but that discolored the lard, and the im provement in this art, lately imported from England, provides for the substitution of farina, which assimilates so closely to the genuine ar ticle aa not to be detected by inspection. The suspicion excited byTour comments was farter confirmed by the recollection that some dealers in lard who had purchased almost daily in the marlcet, were also sellers at a price below the coat of their investment, and yet appeared to do a thriving business. A test was now applied to a lot thus resold to a Boston dealer, and the lard was subjected to a fire, when lo! the owner had not only a kettle of lard, but also a good sized Johnny-cake, nicely fried in the boiling tat!? Shade of Bunker Hill! only think of a genuine from the country where wooded nutmegs are natives of the soil, taking home with him such a mixture! A Yankee is never at a loss, and we have no doubt that a dcscendcnt of the man who mado such'a speculation by shipping warming pans to the West Indies, and turning them to good account as sugar ladles, will invent a new system of selling doughnuts already to be fried upon the application of a lucifer match, out of this doubttuH nvestment.

The points of the satisfactory impression pro duced by "the remarks of Lord Palmerston, on the relations between {he two countries, consist ed in the announcement tliat the discussions of the respective governments on the enlistment question are still going on instead of having been brought to a conclusion upon which each party had taken their stand, while with respect to the , Central American treaty the English Government have positively proposed, reference to arbitra-; fa?As the Ministry arc waiting further informa- ; tion from Mr. Crampton before giving a reply to i the last despatches from Washington, and it is certain that their wish as well as the wish of Parliament and the people will be to see how much instead of how little they can concede, it is felt that assuming, as the country are disposed to do, that a similar feeling prevails amongst the. majority of American citizens, all possibility of ultimate rupture on that ground may safely bo On the Central American question the offer of! I referring it to arbitration seems also to most per ! sons to place it beyond danger. Unless each <fcs- j putant is to claim to be his own judges as to which argument is the true one, there.is, of course in reason and Christainity, no resource but to call upon the judgment of a third party, and to a-ree to abide bv it In the present?ase, doubt less, it would be more satisfactory for both sides to arrive at a friendly interpretaiton by the strength of their own intellectual and moral per ceptions. If, however, through prejudice or any other cause, we have come to that mutually dis creditable pass that wc cannot find the truth ex cept through the wisdom of a stranger, it is con sidered not creditable that either nation will blot its history anil challenge the condemnation of posterity by assuming the responsibility of re jecting it and insisting upon war. Messrs. Andrew Jackson & Son, corn mcrch ante of Glasgow, have failed. Their liabilities arc ?70,000. The following is a fuller report of the debate in the House of Commons on the 15th ult.. than was published on Saturday:? Mr. Roebuck rose to call the attention of the House to "our relations" with the United States, and moved for the production of all the corres pondence with the Government of the L. States relative to the conduct of Mr. Crampton. _ Mr. Roebuck commenced by impressing upon the House the necessity for the question to lie properly understood in Great Britain, and that it should be ascertained who was to blame for the unsatisfactory state of England's relations with America. He remarked that the laws of the u lil ted States prohibited recruiting for foreign serv ice, and that in the early days of the republic it had required a French Minister ot the period to be removed for such an infraction of the laws.? Their jealousy on this head ws\s therefore natural. He then proceeded to show, from documents read at the late trials in the United States, first, that Mr. Crampton new he was breaking the law; second, that he took means to evade it, and third, that he was supported in his evasion by the Government of Xova Scotia and the Govcrnor General of Canada, and urged to it by the home Government: , _ , , Under these circumstances Mr. Roebuck con tended that the government of the United States was justified in requiring the recall of Mr.l.ramp ton, and that the apology which the British go vernment had tendered was a delusiou upon the House and the country. He therefore called, first, for a specific answer to this question: "What instructions were given to Mr. Cramp ton4" N'ext for an expression of opinion on the part of the House that they were no parties to this violation of the laws ot the United btatcs. Mr. Uadiield scconed the motion. Lord Palmerston replied, defending the govern ment, and stating that the correspondence would be produced as soon as the last dispatch ^rorJ American government had been answered. Lord Faluierston then launched into a fierce invective against Mr. Roebuck, whom he syled the mouth piece of the calumuies uttered in the United States, and as holding a brief from the enemy. Lord Palmerston then continued: ">o man could more strongly feel than he did the calami ties which would arise from a conflict between the British nation and the United Strtes. These were the sentiments of all the people of this coun try; but it was one thing to entertain a friendly sentiment toward a kindred people, and another to entertain our feelings of self-respect. "It was incumbent upon those who were charg ed with the public interest to cultivate both these sentiments, for the interests of peace were equal ly trreat on both sides of the Atlantic, and the ca lamities arising from a state ot war would be equally disastrous?that, however, which a gov ernment had to consider was the justice ot its cause, and what was befitting the honor and dig nity of the couniry. "He was persuaded that this feeling as recip rocated on both sides of the Atlantic, whatever might be said in popular speeches in America; and notwithstanding such ebulitions as the House had just heard, which savored of anything but a tendency to conciliate differences, he was pcr . suaded there was such right feeling m the tjnited States that thev valued the friendship of this <n-eat Empire, and that the interests of both were inseparably bound up with the continuance of friendly relations. "He could not, under such circumstance, per suade himself that these matters of difference, when they came to be laid before the Congress of the United States as they would be before the Parliament of Great Britain, would not re ceive the calm, dispassionate an.l reasonable con sideration which was essential to an amicable settlement, and which he trusted, would prevent any intemperate individaul on either side from attempting to plunge the two countries into the calamities of war."

Mr. Charles Aborn, of Baltimore, mate of the English brig Bogcrt, whichjarrived at St Johns New Brunswick, from Shields, England, on Wednesday morning last, called at the Xew York.Tribune office on Saturday morning and made the following report: We lejt Shields on the 7th of January last and experienced very -rough weather the whole passage. Fell in with great quantities of drift icp on the banks, and saw a numberof icebergs. ; Was under the lee of ab erg for two days. On the 19th of February, between two and three bells (11-2 o'clock) in the afternoon, as I was standing in the quarter deck with a night glass in my hand, t saw a steamship crossing our tack, between two and three miles ahead, (I think about that distance;) she was steering to tfc e eastwoi d. The weather was thick and foggy with a slight drizzly rain, and blowing a gale from W.ivW. or N.S.W. Occasionally the fog would light up. I could see her through the haze, but not very distinctly. I thought it was one of the Collins steamships, as she. had no bjwspriL I know the Pacific?having seen her frequently. Her starboard bulwarks were gone; starboard wlieelhouse was also gone, and, I think, part of the wheel. Her wheel was in motion (very slow,) so far as 1 could see. She was roll ing very heavy, and I remarked to one of the sailors, 'There's a steamer that has had a lick from an 'bid-fashioned sea.' I only got a sight of her now and then, llcr foretopinast staysail and main spencer were set. The foretopmast was carried away. She had a list to port of a bout three steaks. We lost sight of her in half an hour. Our captain was drunk from the timo we left port until we got into Xew Brunswick. I managed the vessel entirely; made the entry on the log-slate. When 1 went to look at the slate again it was rubbed out I did not report this in New Brunswick, as I I knew nothing of the absence of the Pacific, and the captain was tjo drunk to know anything a bout it. 1 heard that the Pacific was missing this morning as I was passing down Fulton street, when it occurred to me that the large steamer which I saw was the Pacific. [ I'he foregoing statement wears marks of credi bility. The steamer seen might have been the Pacific; yet, as she had no signal of distress fly ing, the supposition i.s weakened. She ought to have been on the opposite tack, though the wind was such she could not lay her course. She might have been so much disabled as only to be , able to run with a free wind. The course she is : alleged to have been steering would toko her to the Western Islands, then distant about 1,200 ? miles.] j The Tribune also gives the following statement ; founded o.i a despatch from a passenger on board ) the America, ft will be remarked that the day on which the steamers were seen was the same, j Tuesday, the 111th of February, though their po ' fiitions were some two thousand miles apart Of j course it is an impossibility that both could have i been the Pacific, but the tact that two steamers were seen, either of which might have been the ! Pacific, will increase the hopes entertained for ; the safety of that vessel. Mr. Collins received a despatch yesterday af ternoon from a passenger in the America who is familiar with the Collins steamers, stating that on the Tuesday after leaving Liverpool he saw a large steamer without a bowsprit, and with a sig nal in her rigging, runningfor the English Chan nel. We know of no other sua steamers having no bowsprit excepting the Collins boaLs, and there is a hope that the steamer seen was the Pa ! cific. It is possible, however, that it was some i English steamer which had lost her bowsprit by an accident The Baltic arrived at Liverpool on j the Wednesday previous to the sailing of the ! America, so that it could not have been that.ship. The next steamer due hero, the Baltic, may ! not bring any advices of the safety of the missing j ship, .even if the steamer seen was the Pacific, as she left Liverpool on Wednesday, and the Pacific coulil hardly have arrived before Monday follow ing. Still, she may have spoken and some infor mation obtained in that way. A dispatch from the Captain of the America, at Boston, states that there is no truth in the report that a steamer, supposed to be the Pacific, was seen going into the British Channel. FRENCH CELEBRITIES, Paris, January 31, 1350. C O C S I N . * * * 1 was led into these reflec tions by hearing the other day of the divisions M. Victor Cousin, the eminent French metaphy sician, makes of the year, and the labors he pur sues in each of them. Itjappears that he divides the year into two .equal periods: in summer, when he flies Paris for the country, he buries himself deep in the wandering mazes of philos ophy; the long winter's nights, which pass away ! in this busy capital, he spends in resuscitating" | the most celebrated drawing-rooms of classical j literature, those of Jlesdames de Longueville, de j Sable and de Chevretise.

Scribe was left an orphan at an early age, i witli a pittance of $iU0 a-ycar; his guardian dfe ' sired him to study for the bar, but the footlights ; fascinated him, and he has been faithful to them I above thirty years. He works?and has work ! cd every day of his life, from five o'clock in ' Summer; and six o'clock in Winter, until ten j o'clock of the morning, when, as he says, his ? day's labors are over ; but the whole of his life i is takeh up by the stage; for his social commerce, ' the long hours of rehearsals, his business rcla j tions. are all turned to the profit of the theatre; ! he is always on the lookout for new characters ' and situations, suited with comedy or drama ; ! he takes notes of good sayings and subjects of pieces wherever lie finds them.

Theirs rises in the Winter at six, and in ! the Summer at five o'clock, and goes into his lib rary, and works sedulously until noon, when he breakfasts (the second breakfast usual here, the , first being a cup of coffee and butered bred.) i After breakfast he returns to his library, and ; works until three o'clock when he takes a tiata which lasts until dinner time. If he docs not dine out, or have company, or go to the Grand Opera (and it is rare he does not do one of the three,) he again returns to hi3 library to study. He is extremely frugal, although the master of an immense fortune, especially in everything re lating to the table and the cellar. He is pas sionately fond of flowers and humming-birds.? When lie has no immediate calls on his attention he examines maps with a curiosity which never tires. He is at present very fond of engravings; for, besides his passion for flowers and humming birds, he generally has two or three hobbies. VICTOR HUGO. M.

When my gathering first brrike it did not discharge | less than one quart, aud continued to trouble rne every time ; I took cold or was in the least fatigued; my bodily strength , was reduced to the weakness of infancy.

"We, the undersigned practitioners of medicine in the city : of New York, having had occasion to witness the practice of I Drs. LeBmn and Dufton In diseases of the Ear and Eye, lay* | ing aside all personal jealousy and prejudice, freely admit I the course pursued by theiu iu treating diseases (>f these dcl ; icate organs, from the nnjntralleled nuccr## which hat at- j tended is well worthy the attention or our professional ' brethren throughout the United States. Their system of treating diseases of the middle and internal ear, by the use j of "medicated vapors," particularly in chronic and compli cated cases, forms a new era in the practice of aural surgery and fills up a void which has long been felt by the general practitioner. Iu diseases of the eye, they seldom require to j resort to an operation. As skillful aurists and oculists, and enthusiastically devoted to their profession, we cordially re ; commend them to such as may require their aid.** Signed, Alexaskdk K. Mott, 31. D., [ Geo. S.
