rKosrecius of the "national mon
ument,"
A weekly journal to be published in Washington,
under the sanction of the Washington National
Monument Society.
JAMJb'S C. PICKUTT, Editor PcrauanKR.
Tho Monument 1." intruded to be aUterary,agricultural,
and miscellaneous ; aper. It .ti'' contain selections of the
literature of the day?tho be. t thai can bo fouud iu Ameri
can anil Knjrlish publications: interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign aud domestic news; a sy
nopsis of the proceedings of Congress, and every tiling
thai, 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 bo publisbed for the express and
the sole purpose of aiding in tho erection of the noble
coiuiau now riaing on the bauks of the Potomac, in hon
or of tho Father of his Country, and which every one
who venerates the name of WamUNUVOn would rejoice to
?oo completed. Alter doduoting out of the subscription
the jxpeares of the jcmnal proposed to be published,
the reinaJuing funds will be faithfully applied, and with
out reserve, 'o the purpose indicated. The aid, therefore,
of all ttrc willing to contribute to w patriotic an ob
ject, and oQc so entirely national, is eiurnestly requested.
Bv subicribLlI? to '^e Monument, a valuable journal at n
low price may t* obtained, while it will be doing some- I
thing, at the sam* towards completing that majestic
memorial of tho N,atKm'8 gratitude.
The Board of Manage/* reoouiiuond Mr. Pickett, former
ly Fourth Auditor of the iL'easury and Charge d'Affairs to
Peru, who proposes to odit publish the Monument
journal, as one well qualifitxl u? perform the duti?s ol
eilitor, aud to conduct the papei ?nd satisfac
tirily to tho subscribers. They assure th?.''r fellow-citizens
that thisentcrpri.se is not a speculation gi.' UP for indi
vidual emolument. Mr. Pickett will inakethe<.'xperiment
with his own means aud at his own risk; if succ.^'sful, he
will receive nothing more, and he asks nothing more,
than a very moderate compensation for his services. Not
on? dollar, therefore, of the direct subscription to the
erection of the Monument will be, in any event, applied
to the support of the paper, nor the Society in any man
Bur held pecuniarily responsible.
To give the public an idea of what may be done with the
{ournal it is proposed to publish, it may be stated that a
bit of (lfty thousand paying subscribers, at two dollars
each, will yield an annual net profit of from fifty to sixty
thousand dollars.
The postmasters, and secretaries, of all organised bodies
throughout the Union, are respectfully requested to act
as ageute in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the great
ehjuct of our exertions.
As all editors and publishers, on account of the ol\j?ct I
for which the Monument newspaper will bo established,
must wish it to succeed, it is hoped that they will oro- ]
tribute to iU succetts by publishing this prospectus.
All moneys will be remitted, and all letters and moneys
addressed prepaid, to the general agent of the Monument
Society, lion. Klisha Whittlesey, Washington.

Newark Academy.
By a lata ro-orgauixation of this department of Dela
ware College, the Board of Trustees have taken measures
to place it npou a new and improved foundation, and to |
endow it with advantages possessed by few similar Insti- '
tutions in the country. The Academy, heretofore merged
1n the College, and of course raUected to all the evils
which have been found to attend the amalgamation of the
two department* In the same building, and under tho
same government, now enjoys the privilege of a separate
establishment, without losing those which result from Its
relation to the College proper.
A large and elegant edifice, with all the necessary fix-1
tures af a complete lmarding establishment, has bwn '
erected and furnished, in which the students of the Acad
emy board, under the immediate charge of the Principal
and his Assistants; and all its exercises are conducted on
a system of its own, uninterrupted bv the interests or
operations of the other department. The furniture of the
?tudy-rnoms and dormitories has been chofen with pecu
liar reference to eoinfbrt and convenience for study ; and
no expense has been spared Id providing the apparatus
necessary to render the means of instruction complete;
giving te Newark Academy facilities forprirat* study and
comfortable accommodation of students, fully equal te
those afforded by many of our colleges.
From its Intimate relation to the College, students of
the Acsdeiny enjoy many advantages not generally ob
tained at Institutions of this kind. Those who wish to
pursue some particular branch which falls more properly
within the College course, may he admitted to recite in
any of the College classes. Students also of proper age
and discretion, by recommendation of the Principal, and
Crmission of the Faculty, may enjoy the use of the Col
te Library without additional charge. Admission also
may be had te the l*>cturea, and such other privileges of
the College as oan be profitably enjoyed by acndemiraU
students.
The charge for Boarding, Washing, Fuel, I.lght, *<v,
with tuition in the English, Latin, and Greek, is seventy
dollars for the Summer Session, and seventy-five for the
Winter Session. Tho only extras are one dollar per ses
sion for Incidental expenses, and a the of eight dollars for
Modem languages, and a fee of five dollars for Drawing,
from those who enter these elasaes. The sessions and va
cations of the Preparatory Department are the sams as
those of the College.

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Ornci Department,)
March 14,1841. J
IT being desirable to substitute locks and keys of somi
other kind for those now in use foT the mail service
of the United States, specimen locks and keys, with pro
posals to furnish the same, will be received and considered
at the Post Ofllce Department until the first day of July
next. The different locks will lie submitted to a commis- |
><ion for examination and report. Upon this report, con
tracts will, as soon as practicable, lie entered into fbr 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 oontrac.tor a
written notice to that effect, not more than nine nor less
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 standard, tho De
partment relying for a selection on the mechanical skill
and ingenuity which a fair competition, now Invited, may
develop. It is. however, proper to state that a lock suit
able fbr the mail service should possess the following qunl
ities, vi?: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength'
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all tin
mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new lochs and twenty thousand keys adnpted thereto will lie
required to be tarnished by the contractor within seven
months after tha contract shall have been entered into;
afterwards the annual supply will depend on the dura
bility of the locks and keys adopted, as well as the in
crease of the mail service; but It will probably never ex
ceed In amount three thousand of the fbrmer and one
thousand of the latter.
No lock will be considered If it be like any already In
general use; nor will any one with whom tho contract
may bo made be allowed to make, sell, or ftirnish, any
lock or key similar to those contracted for fbr any other
purpose or use than that of the Post Ofllce I)epartment.
The kind of lock adopted must be patented, and the pa
tentee will be reouired, on enteringfntooontract. tomnk<
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use and ben
efit of the Department, if the Postmaster Oeneral shall
deem such requirement essential to the Interests of the
service. In case of the failure of the contractor at any
time to fulfil faithftilly the terms and conditions of his
contract, the Postmaster Oeneral shall have the right.
beHldes a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned, to annul said contract, and to contract anew with
any other party or parties as he may see fit, fbr furnishing
similar locks and keys.
In deciding unon the proposals and specimens offered,
the Postmaster General may deem It expedient to select
for the through mails the lock of one bidder, and fbr the
way mails that of another. lie reserves, therefore, the
right of contracting with different Individuals for such
different kinds of locks as he may select, and also tli
right to reject all the specimens and proposals, if he shall
deem that course fbr the Interest of the Department. The
party or parties contracting will lie required to give bond, I
with ample security, in the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars, for a faithful performance of the contract. The con
tract is to contain provisions fbr tho due and proper in
spection of the locks and keys, and also for guarding
against their passing into Improper hands; the terms of |
these provisions to lie arranged between the Department
and the successful bidder, if a bid should be accepted.
No application will be considered if not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of |
the bidder, and of bis ability to ftilfil the contract.

LtUcr from tlu lion. Henry Clay.
Asulanh, 20th July, 1849.
Dear Sir: I wish to express to you the gratification I
derived on receiving tbe July number of the Merchants'
Magazine and Commercial Review, from viewing your
portrait in the beginning, and from reading your address
to your friends at tbe end of it. When we feel "I'to ob
ligations to those who liave contributed to our mlorma
tion and amusement, we are naturally desirous to possess
all the knowledge of them, of their appearance, of the na
tures of their countenance, and of the character and hub
its of their mind, which we can acquire. You have placed
your numerous readers (at least you have nie, if 1 "'"T
not s]*ak for them) under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work now before me, in sc nie
degree, satisfies the desire to which 1 have alluded.
I have become quite fHmiliur with the Magazine and
Review, and have no hesitation in expressing my humble
opinion that it Is eminently entitled to the public regard
and support. It collects and arranges, in good order, a large
amount of valuable statistical and oilier information,
highly useful not only to the merchant, but to the states
man, to the cultivator of the earth, to the manufacturer,
to the marluer, In short, to all classes of the business and
reading community.
Entertaining this opiuion, 1 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. U. CLAY.
Sktract of a Utter from, lion. Millard Fillmore.
"I have read It (Merchants' Maguzlne) with a good
ileal of attention, and have no hesitation in saying that I
think it one of the most valuable periodicals that was
over published. To the merchant it seemB quite indis
pensable, and to the statesman and man of general infor
niation almost equally desirable. It. is a grand repository
of useful facts and information, which can be fouud no
where so well digested and so accessible as in these num
bers. 1 only regret that I do not own the whole work."
L*tter from the lion. Thomas II. lienUm.
Washington Citt, April 20,1849.
Mr. Freeman Ilimt.?Sir: 1 owe you many thanks for
the opportunities 1 have had to read the Merchants' Mag
azine, and have found it in reality to be a marjatinr, and
that well replenished, of all the useful matter which the
title would imply, and presented with a fullness and

a merchantx' magazine in the large acceptation of the

operations bring many departments of knowledge, and a
view of the state of the world, into daily requisition, hut
it is not the great merchant only, but the ono of more
modest, but, nevertheless, of most useful operations?the

extends to the legislator and diplomatist, and to all w ho
are charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For

carefully consulting it,

WISE A BROTHER, Manufacturers of Boudoir, Grand,
and Square l\annt, request those who would be assured
of a first class Piano, one that ladies can perform on
with the greatest possible advantage?one that the touch
nan be instantly adjusted to the exact strength of the tn
^ers and movement of music, one that will stand In con
cert tune, one that the tone will not become shrill and
if rating, that is chaste of style and elegantly made up ot
straight and regular curve lines, that will last an age?to
rive them a call. The ancient standing of the Baltimore
Factory, and liberal patronage of citizens and others of
the first order of artistic taste and science, conceded at
once the most critical, have been fully anticipated. 'Iheir
recently finished Grand Piano, minutely reviewed by the
moat accomplished civil engineers and master artists, lias
been denominated truly a (Jrand Piano; also, that their
late Boudoir, for style, power, and compass of tone, is not
surpassed, if equalled, in the world. Friends and cus
tomers, please atop in and examine for yourselves.

COLD SPRING WATER CI KK.
rimis NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
X the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which tho human system is afflicted, Is situated about
three miles from the city of Buffalo, in a rural spot, and
so accessible from all points as to be reached without in
convenience or delay.
A line of omnibuses runs from the steamboat landings
in Buffalo to the springs every ten minutes.
The house and grounds are near the extensive and
beautiful green-houses and nurseries of the Messrs. Ilodges
A Bryants; and the scenery In all directions is unsur
passed, as regards either variety or U'uuty; embracing
points of view, from which may be taken in at a glance
the broad expanse of Lake Erie, the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, and the
"Queen City of the Ijikes," with its moving panorama of
steamboats and ceaseless enterprise.
Tho water, taken immediately from the celebrated
"Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and
purity, by any In the United States. The house, recently
erected at a cost of about seven thousand dollars, has been
fitted up in a neat and elegant stylo, at considerable ex
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
seventy-five patients.
Connected with the establishment, and eonstHutlng on#
of its attractions, are the fixtures and conveniences for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic exercises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
Tho Institution is under the general supervision of S.
M. Davis, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of
Medicine in Central Medical Collego, and Geo. W. Davis,
M. D., formerly of Dansville, N. Y.. the resident physician,
and is permanently associate with the before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, and associate of the medical board
of control. And the mends of the establishment deem it
a matter of felicitation that tbe services of Miss Mary M.
Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who has at
tended two courses of lectures In the Central Medical Col
lege, have been secured, and that female patients can at
any time avail themselves of her invaluable aid and coun
M)le
The steward's department Is under the control of a gen
tleman eminently qualified for that position; and unwea
Hed pains will be taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, and conducted
In a way, to ensure the comfort, and promote the health
and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
its benefits. Baths of all descriptions, adapted to the cure
of the various forms of disease, snd constructed on a scale
not Inferior to those of any other establishment in this
country.
An enlightened public sentiment has everywhere repu
diated a reckless use of drugs In the treatment of disease;
while Intolerable sufferings and broken constitutions have
imperatively demanded "Reform." A return from * wide
and fatal departure from the simplicity of Nature s 'sws
is called for, alike by a rational love of happiness and the
deplorable exigencies of our condition. Hydropathy, or a
scientific use of water as a restorative and curative agen ,
is a practical substitution of a simple and remarkably effi
cacious mode of curing the sick; tor that 'J*'''? '?
ging, depleting, and cauterizing, which, in obtain tig the
mastery over disease, too frequently plawsj
vond the reach of further annoyance. The success of the
various Water Cure establishments In thisi country, to say
nothing of any other, has fully conflnne, the hopes of the
early discoverers and promulgators of the grtat truths
upon which the system is founded, and renders Y,,V M
communications unnecessary. It is deemed sufficient to
sav that the " Cold Spring W ater Cure will compare fa
vorably with any of the well-conducted establishments ot
a similar character, and will be found equal to the best.,
as regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of Its
arrangements. The Institution Is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and in full operation.
