WILLIAM A. BRADLEY, 1 Postmaster. PROSPECTUS OF THE "NATIONAL MON UMENT," A. weekly journal to be published in Washington, under the sanction of the Washington National Monument Society. JAMES C. PICKETT, Editor and Pubushkb. The Monument is intended to be a literary, agricultural, and miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of the literature of the day?the best that can lie fouud in Ameri can and Knglish publications: interesting scientific articles, embracing mechanics; foreign aud domestic news; a sy nopsis of the proceedings of Congress, and every thing that such a journal might be expected to contain, with the exception of party politics, which will be at all times most rigorously excluded. The Monument will lie published for the express and the sole purpose of aiding in the ereetion of the noble column now rising on the banks of thu Potomac, in hon or of tlie Father of his Country, aud which every one who venerates the name of WAHHlNUTON would rejoice to see completed. After deducting out of the subscription the expenses of the journal proposed to be published, tlie remaining funds will be faithfully applied, aud with out reserve, to the purpose indicated. The aid, therefore, of all who are willing to contribute to so patriotic an ob ject, and one so entirely national, is earnestly requested. By subscribing to the Monument, a valuable journal at a low price mav l?e obtained, while it will be doing, some thing, at the "same time, towards completing that majestic memorial of the Nation's gratitude. The Board of Managers recommend Mr. Pickett, former ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and Charge d' Affairs to Peru, who proy>oses to edit and publish the Monument | journal, as one well qualified to perform the duties of editor, and to conduct the paper faithfully, and satisfac torily to the subscritwrs. They assure their fellow-citizens that this enterprise is not a speculation got up for indi vidual emolument. Mr. Pickett will make the experiment with his own means and at his own risk; if successful, he will receive nothing more, and he asks nothing more, than a very moderate compensation for his services. Not one dollar, therefore, of the direct subscription to the erection of the Monument will be, in any eveut, applied to the support of the paper, nor the Society in any man ner held pecuniarily responsible. I To give the public an idea of what may lie done with the journal It is proposed to publish, it may be stated that a J list of fifty thousand paying subscriliers, at two dollars j each, will yield an auuual net profit of from fifty to sixty I thousand dollars. The postmasters, and secretaries of all organised bodies I throughout the Union, are respectfully requested to act as agents in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the great . object of our exertions. , I As all editors and publishers, on account of the object for which the Monument newspaper will be established, j must wish it to succeed, it is hoped that they will con tribute to its success by publishing this prospectus. All iponeys will lie reunited. and all letters and moneys addressed prepaid, to the general agent of the Monumeut Society. Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, Wasliingtou.

Societies and clubs will ?>e furnished with the Mo*CXr.Tr on the following terms; 3 copies for fo; 6 copies, $8; 10 copies, $15; Ac. Those who are disposed to patronise the Moxi'ment are requested to forward their names hi the General Agent, without delay. The first number will lie published early in May, and the second on the seooud day of August, and weekly thereafter; time I wing allowed for the Prospectus to be circulated, and for the a/ents to make returns.

Par ticular atteution is paid to the higher Mathematics and their application to Mechanics and Engineering; the latter ami .Surveying are taught practically by field operations, | with the use of appropriate instruments.

It is believed that, in this respect, the Institution will compare favorably with any similar one in the country. A carefully selected library, of more than one thousand volumes, containing works on the various branches of Literature and Science, furnishes ample reading matter, while a Laboratory, fully supplied with apparatus and tests, contains all that is necessary for practical instruction in Chemical Manipulation. , The school year commenced on the third Beoond-day I (Monday) of tbe Ninth month, (September,) and is divided | into four quarters of eleven weeks each, leaving ^-vacation I of two months, from about the middle of the Seventh month (July).

HAMILTON?Dear Sir: Although the | number aud respectability of the testimonials of which j yon art already in possession, as to the efficacy of your I Medicine, "THE GRKAT VA. REMEDY," in the diseases | which it is designed to cure, are sufficient, in my opinion, to establish its reputation, and secure for it such patronage as will adequately reward you for the discovery of so ines i tlmable a Medicine?yet the great benefit which I have derived from its use, and the salutary effects which 1 huve witnessed from its employment in tint cases of several friends, to whom 1 bad recommended it, constrain me to contribute, for such use as you may thiuk proper to make of it, this formal acknowledgment of Us sanitary virtues. My own case was Dyspepsia of long duration, and very aggravated in its character, manifested by an almost total destruction of tlie digestive functions, great debility, ner vousness, emaciation, and impaired appetite, with pain, and a burning sensation in tbe left side of tbe chest, palpi tation of the heart, vertigo and congestion in the head, and many other symptoms indicative of the worst type of the disease, by the use of three or four bottles of your pre paration, been entirely relieved. The cases of my friends, in which your Medicino was taken, were Dyspepsia, Chro nic Headache, and Sore Throat, in all of which it proved efficacious, after the trial of a vast number of other reme dies without benefit. Your medicine is as pleasant to the taste as a cordial, and in my experience corrects all de j rangomont of the stomach, restores the wasted or enfeebled i energies of the digestive organs, and imparts strength and ; reanimation to tho whole system.

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS. Post Office Department, ) ; , March 14,1851. f T T I icing desirable to sulistltute locks aud keys of some 1 other kind for those now in use for the mail servioe of the United States, specimen locks and keys, with pro posals to furnish the same, will be received and considered at the Post Office Department until the first day of July next. The different locks will be submitted to a commis sion for examination and report. Upon this report, oon tracts will, as soon as practicable. I* entered into for fur nishing such locks and keys for four years, with the right on the part of the Postmaster General, for the time being, to extend and continue the contract in force for an addi tional term of four years, by giving to the contra/ tor a written notice to that effect, not more than nine nor h>ss than six months before the termination of the first term ; of four years. With a view of procuring the best lock at the lowest price, no kind of lock is prescribed as a standnrd, the De partment relying for a selection on the mechanical skill and iugcnuitv w liich a fair competition, now invited, may develop. It is, however, proper to state that a lock suit able for the mail scrvi-e should possess the following qual ities. viz: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength. For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the mall locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand new locks and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will be I required to be furnished by the contractor within seven months after the contract shall have been entered into; afterwards the annual supply will dejiend on the dura bility of the Jocks and keys adopted, as well as the in crease of tho mail service; but It will probably never ex i cecd in amount three thousand of the former and one thousand of the latter. No lock will be considered If it bo like any already in general use; nor will anyone with whom the contract | may be made lie allowed to make, sell, or furnish any lock or key similar to those contracted for for any other purpose or use than that of the Post (mice Department. The kind of lock adopted must lie patented, and the pa. tentee will be reoulred, on entering into contract, to make an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use aud l?en c?t of the Department, If the Postmaster General shall : deem such requirement essential to the interests of the service. In case of the failure of the contractor at any time to fulfil faithfully the terms and condition* of his ! contract, the Postmaster General shall have Uie right l*-*ldes a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men ; tioned, to anunl said contract, and to contract anew with any other party or parties as be may see fit. for furnishing similar locks and keys. In deciding upon" the proposals and specimens offered, . the Postmaster General may derm it expedient to select | for the through mails tho lock of one bidder, and for the f wav mails that of another. He reserves, therefore the right of contracting with different individuals for such different kinds of locks as he may select, and also the right to reject all the specimens and proposals, If he shall deem that course for the interest of the Department The (.arty or partleseontracting will lie required to give iiond with amide security, in the sum of thirty thousand dol lars, for a faithful performance of the contract. The con tract is to contain provisions for the due and proper in spectioil of Uie locks and keys, an.l also for guarding again-t their passing into Improper bands; the terms of , these provisions to be arranged between the Department and the successful bidder, if a liid should be accepted No application will lie considered if not accompanied I with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of the bidder, and of his ability to fulfil the contract N.

Dear Sir: I witih to express to you the gratification I derived on receiving the July number gf the Murchauts1 Magazine and Commercial Review, from viewing your portrait in the beginning, and froqi reading yowr; ?ddre*? to your friends at the end of it. When we feel under ob ligations to those who have contributed to our ^forma tion and amusement, we are naturally desirous to powtesN all the knowledge of them, of their appearance, of the fear turefi of their countenance, aud of the character and hab it* of their mind, which we can acquire. You have placed your numerous readers (at leant you have we, if 1 may not speak for them) under those obligation*); and the number of your valuable work now before me, in some degree, satisfies the desire to which I have alluded. 1 have become quite familiar with the Magazine and Keview, and have no hesitation in expressing Uiy humble opinion that it is eminently entitled to the puUiu regard and support. It collects and arranges, in good order, a large amount of valuable statistical and other information, highly useful not only to the merchant, but to the states man, to the cultivator of the earth, to the manufacturer, to the mariner, in short, to all classes of the business and rending community. Entertaining this opinion, I am glad that it has been, and hope that it may continue to be, liberally patronized. Offering you cordial assurances of my esteem and re gard, 1 am truly your friend and obedient servant, Freeman Hunt, esq. II. CLAY. Extract of a letter from Hon. Millard FiUmore. "I have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with a good ileal of attention, and have no hesitation in saying that I think it one of the most valuable periodicals that was ever published. To the merchant Iti seems quite Indis pensable, and to the statesman and man of general infor mation almost equally desirable. It is a grand repository of useful facts and information, which can be found no where so well digested and so accessible as in these num bers. I only regret that I do not own tbo whole work." Latter from the Hon. Thomas H. Benton. Washington Cixv, April 20,1840. Mr. Freeman Hunt.?Sir: I owe you many thanks for the op]K>rtunities I have had to read tbo Merchants' Mag azine, and have found it in reality to be a magazine, and that well replenished, of all the useful matter which the title would imply, and presented with a fullness and clearness which delights while it instructs. It is, in fact, a merchants' magazine in the large acceptation of the term?merchants who go between nations, whose large operations bring many departments of knowledge, and a view of the state of the world, into daily requisition. But it is not the great merchant only, but the one of more modest, but, nevertheless, of most useful operations?the merchant of the interior also?who will find this magazine to abound with the information the pursuit of his busi ness and the elevation of the mercantile character re quires. Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants, but extends to the legislator and diplomatist, and to all who are charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For myself. 1 have found it most useful to me in my senato rial labors, and have been In the habit for many yoars of carefully consulting it. Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant, T1IOMAB H.
