For the last nve years PWave had it almost iuc.essantly,not being ex empt from it more than twenty-four hours at any one tune. I have conaulted the most sk.lful physicians, and tried many remedies, without any relief. In June last I commenced using i)r Wm Evans' Vegetable Medicines not with the expectauon of effecting a cure, fori believed my case hopeless and my dissolution near, but with the hope of obtaining momentary relief. Before 1 had used two packages I was entirely relieved, and have not been attacked with it since. 1 can now aay that 1 am perfectly cured of the disease, and can confidently recommend it to all who are afflicted with thia distressingcomplaint.

Mrs. Browne was attended by three of the first physi cans, but received hut little relief from their medicine, ill Mr. Browne procured some of Dr. Wm. Evans'inva luable preparations, which effectually relieved her of the above distressing symptoms, with others, which it is not so essential to intimate. ? JOSEPH BROWNE.

Evans. ' The principal .ymjtoms were?A sense of distention and 1 oppression alter eating, distressing pain in the pit of the ' stomach, nausea, impaired apiietite.giddiness, palpitation of the heart, great debility and emaciation, depression of spirits, disturbed rest, sometimes a bilious vomiting and pain in the right side, an extreme degree of languor and lalntMas, any endeavor to pursue his business, causing immediate exhaustion and weariness. ,'Yr' i* daily attending hit homers, and none ot the above symptoms have recurred since he used the miMicine.

Mr. Kobert Monroe, Schuylkill, afflicted with the above distressing malady. Symptoms?Great languor, flatulen cy, disturbed rest, nervous headache, difficulty of breath ing, tightness and stricture across the breast, dizziness, nervous irritabijity and restlessness, could not lie in ? horizontal position, without the sensation of impending drowsiness, great debility, and deficiency of the nervous energy. Mr. R. Monroe gave up every thought of recovery, and dire despair sat on the countenance of every person inte rested in his existence or happiness, till by accident, he noticed in a public paper some cures effected by Dr. Wm. Evans' Medicine in his complaint which induced him to purchase a package of the Pills, which resulted in completely removing etrery symptom of his disease. He wishes to say his motive for this declaration is, that those afflicted with the same or any symptoms similar to those from which he is happily restored, may likewise receive the same inestimable benefit. IYrAN EXTRAORDINARY AND REM ARK A RLE CURE?MRS. MARY DILLON, William - burgh, comer of .Fourth and North streets, completeljl restored to health by the treatment of Dr. Wm. Evans, 100 Chatham street. The symptoms of this distressing case were as follows ?Total loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart, twitch ing of the tendons, w ith a genera! spasmodic, affection of the muscles, difficulty of breathing, giddiness, languor, lassitude, great depression of spirits, with a fear of some impending evil, a sensation of fluttering at Jthe pit of the stomach, irregular transient pains in different parts, great emaciation, with other symptoms of extreme debility. The above case was pronounced hopeless by three of the most eminent physicians, and the dissolution of the patient daily awaited for by her friends, which may be authenticated by the physicians who were in attendance. She has given her cheerful permission to publish the above facts, and will also gladly give any information, re specting the benefit she has received, to any inquiring mind. MARY DILLON. A Real Blessing to Mothers. DR. W. EVANs' CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, FOR CHILDREN CUTTINO THKIR TEKTH. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of children, when thought past recovery, from convulsions. A. soon as the Syrup is rublwd on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so innocent, so effica cious, and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums lie rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children ; for if a child wales in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives easehy opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, 4c.

Mr. STANLY observed that the resolution adopt ed last evening that the house Would proceed to the election of a Speaker, was dead; that it applied to last evening only, and was not now before the house. In confirmation of this opinion, Mr. S. said that the gentleman frotn Virginia (Mr. Dromgoole) was overheard last evening urging his friends to procced with the election, and giving it as his opinion that, if they adjourned without carrying the resolution into effect, the resolution would die with the pro ceedings of the day, and they would have to proceed de nova in tbe morning. Mr. DROMGOOLE said he would not make any remark with regard to tbe propriety of repeating what a gentleman might say to bis friends. He would admit that he did eipress the fear to his friends thai the resolution would be considered as expiring with that evening's proceedings; but he ex pressed no decided opinion on it. He was, however, overruled by his friends, who, on all sides, declared that the resolution would be imperative this morn ing. Ilej' oulil ask if it was not the understanding with j gentleman's friends last evening, that the resolution would be in force this morning At least, he understood that the gentleman from North Carolina, and all his friends, entertained that opin ion. He would ask if it was not the understanding on all sides of the house that the resolution would be the first thing in order this morning 1 Alter some remarks from Mr. STANLY, Mr. WISE denied that tnere was such a general understanding; (or he entertained the opinion that the resolution of last night, that they would then go into the election of Speaker, was dead as soon as the house adjourned. One remark he would make before he sat down. For the last six years he had been witnessing the triumphs of the great Republi can party, and, thank God, they had now brought down that party to no lean a majority, that they now have to jockey in order to win the race. Mr. JAMESON referred to the decision made by the Chair, that the resolution for going into the elec tion of Speaker, passed last evening, was the first business in order this morning. And quoting the one hundred and twenty-sixth rule of the house, he argued the point of order, contending that the house could entertain no other proposition until that was disposed of. Mr. TURNEY moved that the resolution of the gentleman from New York, (Mr. Barnard,) and the question of order arising on it, be laid on the table. Mr. BARNARD here raised a point of order, Tuce<fWWjiWh$f?smotioD- which h" r?' A point of order having been made, that a resolu tion offered by Mr. Barnard was not in order, at this time pending the discussion on that point of order, Mr. Turuey rises and mov?s to lay the subject of the point of order on the table ; and also, at the same time, to lay the resolution of Mr. Barnard on tbe ta ble. On this motion ol Mr. Turney, Mr. Barnard makes this point of order : " That it is now in order to move to lay the resolution of Mr. Barnard on the table." The CHAIRdecided that the motion of Mr. Tur isey was in order: when, Mr. FILLMORE rose and said, that,considering this question to be one of vital importance, not only at the present moment, but as a precedent for the fu ture action of the house, be would appeal from the decision of the Chair. According to the decision of tbe Chair, a member who had a resolution to offer could be compelled to sit down on a point of order before he had time to explain it: and then his reso lution was taken from him, while his mouth was shut by a motion to lay the whole subject on the ta ble. This decision [said Mr. F ] may affect allot us hereafter; and, I therefore, appeal lroui the decision of the Chaii. Mr. TURNEY called for the previous question on the appeal; and Mr. FILLMORE called for the yeas and nays. Mr. PETR1KIN moved to lay the appeal, and every matter relating to it, on the table. Mr. MERCER observed that the laying the appeal, on the table would have the effect of affirming the decision of the Chair. Mr. LEWIS observed that there was great con fusion prevailing in the JIall, so that it was difficult to undcr.-rtand the true question belore the house.? He thought the house would be relieved from its pre sent difficulty by the point of order which lie now wished to make. He would ask of the Chair, if it was not announced by him this morning, that the re solution on the election of Speaker, passed last eve ning, was the first business in order 1 He a>ked the Chair to determine thafpoint of order. The Chair made no reply. Mr. LEWIS repeated his inquiry of the Chair. [Great confusion prevailing, and frequent calls for the question, mingled with cries of " Order," " order."] Mr. GRANGER said a few words, which, in the noise that prevailed, were not heard. The question on seconding the call for the pre vious question was then taken, Messrs. Banks and Carter being tellers, and carried?ayes 110, noes not counted. The vote was then taken on ordering the main question to be nut, and carried without a division. Mr. CRAIG called for the yeas and nayson the main question, and they were accordingly ordered. Mr. ALFORD asked the gentleman irom New York (Mr. Barnard] to withdraw his resolution, and let the house go into the election of Speaker. Tbe Administration party had disfranchised New Jersey, and the Opposition had not the power to prevent it. The issue was with the people. He was tired of fighting on tbe outpost, and was ready to meet the question. Mr. CllABB agreed with hisfriend from Georgia, (Mr. Allord,] that it would be better to go into the election of Speaker at once; and he would give no tice to his political friends that he would not go with thein in delaying that decision, by making appeals and points of oMer. He thought it was now high time to go into the election. Mr. BAllDARDsaid he acceded to the proposi tion of the gentleman from Georgia, [Mr. Alford.]? But he wished it to be expressly and distinctly un derstood that he did it because he saw the majority of the house was determined on the course it would pursue with regard to his proposition, and the re marks he intended to offer in support of it. Upon that belief he yielded to the proposition of the gen tleman from Georgia; and he did so because, in his conscience, he desired to save the house from the evils that would ensue, if it now solemnly decided against the point of order he had raised. Mr. CRAIG moved a call of the House, which was ordered ; and the roll having being called over, and the absentees having been sent for, after some time, The House then proceeded to the election ol a Speaker. The first vote having been taken, and before the lesult was announced. Mr. Yomu, one of the gentlemen commissioned by the Governor of New Jersey, rose and asked if (he roll had been called through. No answer being returned to him, he said he perceived that in calling the roll, his name was omiued. He held a commis sion, he said, from the Governor of New Jersey, as a Representative from thai State, a?d therefore de manded that his vote be received. He voUd for John Bell. After which, Me.w Stratton, Aycrtff, Maxwell, and Halsted successively demanded that their vote* be read as Representatives from the Stale of New JefMJT, a?d said thai they voted lor John Bell. The tellers then reported to the Chair the resull of the vote to be?335 vo.es given, and 118 necesaary to a choice?of these, John Bell received - * 1?? John W. Jones - - - - 113 Wiiliam C. Dawson - - 11 Francis W. Pickens ? Dixon H. Lewis, - Q. W. Hopkins, --- - 1 Mr. W18E Inquired if the report ol the tellers in cluded the votes of the five gentlemen who held commissions from the Governor of New Jersey 1 He understood that they were not, and he therefore required of the Chair to put the question whether the votes of these gentlemen shall be counted. Mr. DROMGOOLE. I rise to ask of the tellers whether they have counted all the voles! and,If they have,.I demand that the vote be announced by (he Chair. Mr. MERCER rose to move for a reconsideration of the raaolui ton of yunterday for going Into the election ol a Speaker. The CHAIR said the motion was not in order. Mr. WISE. I make no motion, but I wish to state the fact that there are five gentlemen from New Jer sey here who claim to vote, and therefore ask the Chair to state that fact to the House, and take its de cision upon it. The CHAIR then announced the result of the vote to the House, slating the number of votes given to each peison voted for. The Chair then informed the House that five gentlemen from the Stateot New Jersey, who held the commissions of the Governor of that Stale, demanded to have their voles taken before the result was announced. Alter some remarks fr >m Mr. WISE, The CHAIR said that there appearing not to be a majority of voles given to nny one person, the House woald proceed to vote again. The Clerk commenced calling the roll for a second vote, when Mr. MERCER rose and interrupted him, and de manded ol the Chair to receive his motion. [Loud cries of "order, order," and "go on, go on," and much confusion throughout the hall ] The CHAIR said that the House was voting for a Speaker, and the gentleman's motion was not in order while that was going on. Mr. MERCER said he rose to a point of order, and demanded a decision on it. I appeal, said he, from the decision of the Chair. Mr WISE. Ceruinly my collesjjuo h?s a right to appeal from the decision of the Chair. The CHAIR aaid he could not put the qneation on this appeal while, the rote was being taken. [Universal laughter ] TheCLKRK was proceeding with the call, when Mr. GRAVES interrupted him again, and-observed that he understood the gentleman from Virginia as ap pealing from the decision of the Chair. Now he would not yield (he floor till the house decided that appeal. [ f*oud cries of "Order, order." The CHAIR called tho gentleman to order, and said that he had decided that the appeal could not be made while the Clerk was calling the roll. Mr. GRAVES said he could not consent that, when an appeal was tskon from the decision of the Chair, the Clerk should continue calling the roll. Mr. MERCER rose, and made a few remarks, which, from the noise and confusion, and repeated calls to or der, it was impossible to hear. Mr WISE said, in order to illustrate the position of my colleague, I will slate that the Chair decides that he cannot put the question on hia appeal while the election is going on. Now, from that very decision, my col leaf [ue has a right to appeal. The CHAIR ssid the motion of the gentleman could be offered when a Speaker was chosen ; but ho could not take an appeal while the bouse was in tho set of electing a Speaker. Mr. WISE. Then here is a derision that an appeal cannot lie Uken. Is.it f"r ,nv rolles*" The CHAIR. Certainly not, sir. [I*oud laughter] Tho CLERK was then suffered to proceed with the call of the roll; after which, ihe tellers reported the re sult of the second vote to be ? John W. Jones - - - -113 John Bell - ? - * ?? William C. Dawson - - 11 Francis W. Pickens - * " ? Dixon H. Lewis - ?> George VV. Hopkins - - - 1 Mr. MERCER then rose to a question of order. The CHAIR said he would now entertain the question of order, it not having been in order to re ceive it when it was first made, during the call of the r?Mr. MERCER stated that his object in doing so was that he might move a reconsideration of the re solution ol his colleague, [Mr. Wise,] which bad been negatived on yesterday by a tie vote. He read the rule on the subject, and stated that a mjtion to reconsider was made by the rule, because of some error in the decision, and in this case he thought pre sumption of error might be considered as manilest, from the fact that the vole was equally divided. Mr. M. concluded by moving to reconsider the vote bv which Mr. Wise's resolution, providing for the call of the New Jersey members, had been rejected. The CHAIR said he considered the gentleman s motion not to be in order, bieause, the vote having been a tie vote, there was no majority in the case, and the rule in the case the Chair did not under stand as applying to this case. It was undoubtedly in the power of the house, if they thought proper to put that construction upon the rule, to reconsider. The rule is, whenever there was a vole taken, a member who voted in the majority might move to reconsider; but in the present case there was no ma jority?there was a tie?an equal vote on both siiles, and the question was declared to be lost, only in con sequence of the technical rule of the house. There being no majority, the Chairman did not feel him self at liberty tuconsider as in order a motion made lor reconsider.1ffi>n on either side of the question. Mr MERCER appealed from this decision. Mr. VANDERPOEL moved the previous ques tion on the appeal, which was seconded unanimouiy ?the main question ordered, and the decision of the Chair sustained?yeas 147, nays 84. Mr. C. H. WILLIAMS moved that the House adjourn; but subsequently withdrew the motion. Mr. UNDERWOOD renewed the motion, but the House refused to adjourn. The House then proceeded to a third ballot for a Speaker, and the resull being announced, it appear ed to be as follows: Whole number of voles - - v * *34 Necessary to a choice - - -118 John W.

I rulh baa been thus eloquently described by N. Breton, who wrote in 1616: " Truth is the flory of Time, and the daughter of Eternity; a title of the highest grace, and a note of divine nature ; she is lb* life of religion, ihe light of love, the grace of .. witf and the crown of wisdom; she it* the beauty of valor, the brightness of honor, the blessing of reason, and the joy of faith : her truth is pure gold, her time is right precious, her word is must gracious, and her will is most glorious: her essence is in God, and her dwelling with Hi* servants: her will is in Ilia wisdom, and her work to His glory; she is houored in love, and graced in con stancy ; in patience admired, and in charity beloved: she is the angel's worship, the vir gin a l ime, the saint's bliss, and the martyr's crown ; she is the king's greatness, aud his council s goodness : his subjects' peace, and bis kingdom's praise ; she is the life of learn ing, and the light of the law ; the honor of trade, and the grace of labor : she hath a pure eye, a plain hand, a piercing wit, and a perfect heart: she is wisdom's walk in the way of holiness, and takes her rest but in the " resolution of goodness: her tongue never trips, her heart never laints, her hand never fails, and her faith never fears ; her church is without schism, her city without fraud, her court without vanity, and her kingdom with out villany. In sunt, so infinite is her excel lence in the construction of all sense, that I will thus only conclude in the wonder of her worth?she is the nature of perfection in the perfection of nature, where God in Christ shows the glory of Christianity." / tilfihnent of Prophecy.-?The following remarkable reference to the present state of the Ottoman empire, as a signal fulfilment of the prophecy, is extracted Irom a correspond ent to the Standard?- It is the opinion of the vast majority of commentators on prophecy that we are now living, under the sixth vial? the sixth angel is now pouring out his vial upon the treat river Euphrates, by which the Ottoman empire is symbolized, 'and the wa ter thereof is drying up, that the ways of the kings ol the east may be prepared (Retr. xvi. 12.)?The drying lip of a mighty river exactly describes the wasting away of the Turkish empire in the present day. I believe that the Ottoman empire will be annihilated in 1872, which i? 'a time, times, and a half* (Dan. xii. 7.) or 1260 years from 612, when the Muhomedun abomination of desolation was publicly set up?'The second' or Turk ish 'woe' will then terminate, (Rev. xi. 14.) At the same time I belie vethot the year 1944, which is only five years from the present' time, will be a fatal year to Turkey.?It is the 1260th year from the Hegirn,according to Ma hoinedan calculation. It is remarkable that the 13th of June, 1844, is 'an hour, a day, u month, and a year'(ttev. ix. 16,) or 892 years and ,15 days from the 29th May, 1453, when it pro!)irf)le that the l3lh June', 18?l, will lie a fatal day for Turkey. It appears that the downfall of the Ottoman empire will be the signal lor universal war, and will prepare the way for the return of the Jews to their own land.?United Service Gazelle. The Morality of Dancing .?A late English writer on the manners and customs of the German Spas, thus descanteth on the balls at Baden, and the poetry of motion as exempli fied there. It would be a neat commentary on Byron's poem, the " Waltz." " Away whirled tho galoppe dancers in the giddy circles, and prolonged skipping, until tho very breathing of the fair partners be came audible, and their countenance lost all traces of placid loveliness. Have the ladies no friendly mirror to tell them after a galoppo or a waltz, how much their ' human face di vine' has lost of its beauteous typo ! And tho rude grasp during such dances, do they become the modest nature of an English woman, or of any woman equally modest? Oh, it grieved me to see the graceful aud ex quisitely elegant Mrs. M?, at the slightest in vitation frcm a booted hos?ar, or an embroider ed attache, plunge with them into all the atti tudes, now violent, and now languishing, of a dunce better suited for a Bacchanalian or An dulusian representation. And she bore on her alabaster and shining cheek the deep round flush of consumption, which parched her throat, and dried up her lips, and made her fly at the termination of each performance to the refreshment-room with her partner?there to quench with perilous experiment the in ward fever, by ice dissolved in freezing wa ter; while the big drops of moisture stood on her forehead, or trickled down on her face, iiH reusing the general disorder of her appear ance." The Thing Needful?A little pamphlet, published in England, in 1798, contains the following paragraph on political union, which may be remembered with advantage by any and every nation : "Turn your eyes to tho wonders, the al most miracles of union. Deserts converted to blooming pasture; the craggy rock into a conveyance of living waters; the sul len (lint into genial fire; the wild waste, which scarcely gives the verdure of the this tle, into a fragrant garden ; the most baneful poisons into salutary food for the healthy, or medicines for the sick ; the frowning pit, and misshapen quarry into a magnificent city.? These nre the least important of the powers of union ; they are the work of men's hands ?a nobler wonder is reserved for you, my countrymen?for yonr hearts; an honest ex ertion of these in the common cause shall preserve your inheritance. Union shall make your fixed Mid floating castles triumphant. But the union must not only be general, as it now is. but it must be universsJ?the whole pa triot soul informing and animating the whole patriot body."
