'he medal was presented to Mr. Pleasanton,

J. J. Turner, Esq., accompanied by a fow
ropriate remarks and the following lotter:
J BALTIMORE, March 14, 184 G.
Jear Sir: —ln behalf of the shipping mer
nts and commercial men of the city of
timore, we beg your acceptance of the ac
ipanying medal. For many years we have
ched with interest your labors in further
e of the lighthouse system of this country,
feeling, as we do, that success has crown
your efforts, and that wo are now blessed
n the most economical, best adapted and
it admirable system known, wc have
ught it due that some public approbation
.your official conduct should be given. If
testimonial itself is slight, sir, our estimate
j/our talents as a public man, and yourworth
t private citizen—our appreciation of your
dity, integrity and economy in the adininis
:ion of tiro lighthouse department—is not
that account diminished,
n performing the pleasing duty which some
our fellow citizens have imposed upon us,
f* take great pleasure in expressing our per
[al appreciation of your public ami private
jracter. (Signed)
WM. ROBINSON, JR.,
J. J. TURNER.
tvhtn Pleasonton, Esq. Committee.
To which Mr. Pleasonton read the following
.eresting reply:
WASHINGTON, March 24, 184 G.
Gentlemen: —l receive with great sensibility
s token of approbation, which you have pre
lted to mo on behalf of the merchants of
ltimore, of my management of the light
?Jrs6 establishment of the United States.
(Since the year 1820, when I took charge of
t establishment, my oxertioris, together with
|e of zealous and able collectors and engi-
Brs, acting under rne, have been unceasing
place it in a condition at once efficient and
iditabie to the government; and, the testi
>ny borne to the success of thoso exertions,
so respectable a body as the merchants of
.ltimore, who have so deep an interest in it,
the highest reward that could be bestowed,
d would, if any thing could have that effect,
nulate my further exertions in their service.
pAt the time above referred to, the establish
"jnt was inconsiderable, consisting only of 54
"•hthouses, with a few beacons and buoys.—
Bee that period 202 lighthouses and 30 liglit
ips have been built under rny direction, for
je Atlantic coasts, lakes, bays and rivers,
jakirig the establishment at this time to con
ft of 256 lighthouses and 30 floating lights,
pides a considerable addition of beacons and
roys. It will thus be seen, that whilst the
iaritime governments of Europe have been
and improving the lights on their
Easts, the government of the United States
fs not been inattentive to the means of pro
pting their extensive commerce and naviga
jn, and the many valuable lives employed in
sern. Nor have the improvements in the
pans of lighting been unknown, or neglected.
|( re paroholic reflector made in moulds or dies
jd heavily plated, as in England, with the ar
t.nd lamp, being found best adapted to this
untry, have been used in nearly all our light-
Buses, and will soon take the place of all the
m ones, with what success is shewn by the
autiful medal, which a portion of the respec
i ble merchants of Baltimore have this day,
[trough you, presented to me, and which I
'tall carefully preserve and hand over to my
nildren, as a valuable evidence that I have
pen instrumental, in a long course of public
fe, in rendering some service to a most re
sectable and enterprising class of my fellow
fliztns.
[I beg, gentlemen, that you will make known
ll the merchants of Baltimoro, in the most ac-
manner, the high sense 1 entertain of
[•lis distinguished mark of their favor, and that
'pu will yourselves accept my best thanks for
Jie polite and friendly manner in which you
rave conveyed their sentiments to me.
With the highest respect, 1 have the honor
i > be, gentlemen,
Your most ob't serv't,
JL S. PLEASONTON.

PRINTED AMP Pt'BLISUKD KVKHY MOHUMO, BY BULL <fc TUTTUC, No. IS* BALTIMORE, STREET, BALTIMORE, Md.
SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 28, 1 ——
WHAT O'CLOCK IS IT?
When I was a young lad, my father one
day called me to him that ho might teach me
how to know what o'clock it was? Ho told
me the use of the minute figures and the hour
hand, and described to me the figures on the
dial plate, until I was pretty porfect in my
part.
No sooner was I quite master of this addi
tional knowledge, than I setoff scampering to
join my companions at a game of marbles; but
my father called me back again: "Stop Humph
rey," said ho, "I have something more to tell
you."
Back again I went, wondering what else I
had got to learn; for I thought 1 new all about
the clock, quite as well as my father did.
"Humphrey," said he, "I have taught you
to know the time of day, I must now teach
you to find out the time of your life."
All this was strange to me, so I waited rath
er impatiently to hear how my father would
explain it, for I wanted sadly to go to my mar
bles.
"The Bible," said he, "describes the years
of man to be three score and ten, or four score
years. Now life is very uncertain, and you
may not live a single day longer; but if we
divide the four score years of an old man's life
into twelve parts, like the dial of a clock, it
will allow almost seven years for every figure.
When a boy is seven years old, then it is one
o'clock of his life, and this is the case with
you; when you arriveat fourteen years it will be
two o'clock with you; and when at twenty-one
years, it will be three o'clock, should it please
God thus to spare your life. In this manner
you may thus know the time of your life, and
looking at the clock may, perhaps, remind you
of it. My great grandfather, according to this
calculation, died at twelve o'clook; my grand
father at eleven, and my father at ten. At
what hour you and 1 shall die, Humphrey, is
only known to Him to whom all things are
known."
Never since then have I hoard the inquiry,
"What o'clock is it?" nor do I think that 1
have overlooked at the face of a clock, with
out being reminded of the words of my father.
I know not, my friends, what o'clock it is
with you, but I know very well what time it
is with myself; and that if I mean to do any
thing in this world, which hitherto I have
neglected, it is high time to set about it. The
words of rny father have given a solemnity to
the dial plate of the clock, which it never
would have possessed in my estimation, if these
words had not been spoken. Look about you,
my frier.ds, I earnestly entreat you; and now
and then ask yourself what o'clock it is with
you.
WRECK OF THE PACKET SHIP HENRY
CLAY— Six or Eight Lives Lost. The packet
ship Henry Clay, Capt. Nye, from Liverpool,
from which port she sailed on the 22d of Feb
ruary, for New York, went ashore on Tuesday
night, about twelve o'clock, on Squam Beach,
in a heavy gale, about one mile north of the
place where the John Minturn and other ves
sels were wrecked on the night of the 15th of
February. The Herald contains the following
particulars of the disaster:
The ship struck on the euter bar, heaved
over, and lays between the under tow and out-'
er bar, broadside to the beach, having healed a
little towards the shore. All her masts were
cut away at S o'clock on Wednesday morning,
and she remained in an easy position. A
large part of the cargo has boon thrown over
board, and it is possible the hull may bo pre- |
vented from going' to pieces, as it luys in a
kind of quick sand, and was rapidly burying
itself.
immediately after the ship struck, three sea
men went ashore in the lifeboat, with a line,
and relumed again to the vessel,but on account
of the floating spars, could not get near enough
to the ship to take oft" the passengers, and they
were compelled to drop themselves into the
boat by the line. 8 or 10 cabin passengers
were taken on board in this way, and were go
ing ashore, when the boat wa9 struck by a sea
and shattered to pieces, and only two (the se
cond mate and one seaman) were saved, and
they were taken on shore insensible, but by
the care and attention of those on shore, were
hiought to life.
The rest of the passengers and crew, num
bering about three hundred, remained on board
the ship, and as a hawser had been taken a
shoreand made fast by driving a spile into the
sand, it was supposed that they all would be
saved, as soon as the weather moderated. The
keel had been broken off and floated alongside,
and the ship was making a great deal of water.
She went ashore at high tide, drawing eighteen
feet of water, and had a very large and valua
ble cargo on board.
On account ofthe thick weather experienced
within the three days previous to going a
shore, the Captain had not been able to get
an observation, and the first intimation of be
ing near land, was when the ship struck the
beach.
The weather, since the ship wont ashore, has
not been at all favorable for the safety of those
remaining on board, or the cargo;but as she is
a new vessel, we have every hope that no more
lives will be lost.
We learn that there is an insurance in Wall
street of $40,000 on the ship, and $20,000 on
her cargo. It is supposed, however, there is
some insurance in Statu street, Boston; but the
amount is not yet known in this city.
This packet belongs to Grinnell, Minturn St
Co.'s line, and was a magnificent ship. Cap
tain EzraNye, wBo became so generally known
to the public while in command of the packet
ship Independence, was a principal owner in
her, and will be the greatest sufferer.
She was valued at SIOO,OOO. Ttje cargo
was probably worth $150,000.
THEATRICAL. AtthoArch Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, Mr. Burton has brought out an
exciting drama, founded on Bulwer's well
known novel of Zanoni, which attracts much
attention. The house is constantly crowded,
and he appeare to be doing a good business. —
Tlio Maiden Aunt, a play by young Knowles,
has taken exceedinglywell at this establishment.
ANOTHER GONE. Benjamin Pegg, a revo
lutionary soldier, died last week near Coving,
ton, Miami county, Ohio, aged one hundred
years and ten months,
FROM MEXlCO— Jlmxtsittg Reports. Advices
from the city of Mexico to the 21st, and from
\ era Cruz to the 28th ult., have been received
via Havana. There is no news of importance,
and nothing further in relation to Mr. Shdoll.
It is rumored in Vera Cruz that the U. States
troops had been repulsed from the banks of the
Rio Bravo, but a late Vera Cruz paper gives a
contradiction to it, but states that great prepa
rations were making at Matamoras to repulso
them. There were several American vessels
of war at Vera Cruz; and three sloops of war,
recently arrived, and a brig were at Sacrihcios
—names not given.
The most amusing article we find in the pa
pers is an account heralded forth with some
pomp of several desertions at the Rio Bravo
from tlio American to the Mexican Army! and
the editor winds up with the assurance that a
number ot dragoons and several officers were
ready to como over, and only waiting for a fa
vorable opportunity.
ITEMS OF NEWS. Carroll County Court
commences its Spring session on Monday, the
6th of April. Five ships from London and
Liverpool, with full cargoes, arrived at New
York on Thursday ovening Aaron Blout
committed suicide in Philadelphia on Thurs
day by taking arsenic. The Wclland Ca
nal will be open for navigation on the Ist of
April. The funeral of the late Mr. Ilolden,
editor of the Saturday Courier, took place in
Philadelphia on Thursday. Abraham Car*
rier, aged 20, son of John Carrier, was shot
last week in Rockingham county, Va., by a
gun in the hands of Nathan Hannah. It was
accidental.
LATEST FROM THE PACIFIC. Letters from
our squadron in the Pacific to the 28th of Ja
nuary have been received. The timo of sove
ral of the cruises of the vessels had expired,
and the officers and crews were extremely anx- j
ious to return home, having become tired of I
lying so long at Mazatlan. The Savannah, !
Constitution, Portsmouth and Cyane were in
port and the Warren daily expected from Pa
nama. The Levant left on the 21st on a
cruise with sealed orders.
EFFECT OF THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
At New York, on Thursday, the war message,
as it is termed, of the President, had a disas
trous effect upon stocks—all descriptions fell
off and closed with a downward tendency
The money market has become tight, and it is
difficult to procure loans or discounts at 6 per I
cent.
A SPECULATION. A short time prior to the
change in the revenue laws, a cargo was im
ported into Galveston, by the French barque !
Blayaise, from Bordeaux, consisting of wines, !
brandy, and dry goods, to the value of $8,450. I
The duties were paid under the tariff of Texas, j
and amounted to $2,738. Had these goods j
paid duties under the tariff of the United States '
the amount would have been $8,895. The I
advantage gained under the Texas tariff was j
thus $6,156.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY. The Cumberland Al-[
legliariiati 6tates that on Thursday night of
last week, one of the Stago3 was robbed be- j
iween Cumberland and Frostburg, of three
Trunks—the contents of which had been ex
amined, but us there were other Stages coming
up in the rear, the parties were disturbed j
and the Trunks and goods recovered. One :
I
gentleman, lost a letter ho was carrying for a j
friend in which he thinks there was money, to
the amount, perhaps, of three hundred Dollars.
ANOTHER SHIPWRECK. The ship Edgar
from New Orleans, March 2, for New York, j
with a cargo of pork, lard, &c., went ashore j
north side of Abseco bar, the crew saved,masts j
cut away and ship gone to pieces. A schooner j
is ashore not far from the ship, and has also I
gone to pieces. |
FIRE. Three of the workshops pertaining
to the Eagle Foundry, in Belvidere, N. J.,
with nearly all their contents were burned last
week. The loss is estimated at from S2OOO to
S3OOO. Tlio Foundry belongs to Gen. Wall,
and is occupied by Mr. Peter Ketchum. The
burnt property was insured on the 6th inst. for
S2OOO.
HAIL STORM. There was quite a heavy hail
storm at Wilmington, Del., on Wednesday
evening about 6 o'clock. The hail descended
in great quantities, but was not large enough
to causo any damage.
A COLLISION. AS the freight train for Bos
ton was leaving the depot in Springfield, on
Friday morning, it came in collision with a
number of freight cars, coming in from a side
track. Nearly a dozen of the cars on both
sides wore smashed up, broken in pieces, and
their contents spilled and more or less destroy
ed.
HANDSOME COLLECTIONS. The sum of sl,-
150 was collected in the Allen-Bt. Methodist
Episcopal Church, on Wednesday ovening, in
behalf of the recaptured slaves. Nearly SIOOO
was subscribed the piovious evening al the Ta
bernacle.
JOHN BELL. The Pulaski Courier express
es its preference for the Hon. John Bell as the
next Whig candidate for the Presidency.
OHIO RIVER. At Wheeling, on Thursday,
there were 13 feet and six inches of water in
the chancel, and at Pittsburg 8 feet 9 inches.
MORE FACTORIES. We learn from rhe
Nowark (N. J.) Advertisor that the good peo
ple of that town have in contemplation to es
tablish in their city a Steam Cotton Factory of
10,000 spindles.
ANOTHER FRESHET IN THE DELAWARE.—
The heavy fall of rain on Tuesday night, swell
ed tlio Delaware again to a great height. The
wharves at Trenton were overflowed—so we
loam by the News of that place. Fears wero
entertained that there would be damage to pro-
perty.
NAVAL. The U. S. ship Columbus arrived
at Canton on the 28th December.

DR. JOHNSTON,
a distinguished graduute from one of the first Col
leges in the United Slates, which may be seen by his
Diploma; also, a member of the Royal College of
Surgeons and Licentiate of the Apothecary's Hail,
London; and the greater part of whose life has been
spent in the first hospitals of Europe and America,
viz- those of London, Puru and Philadelphia, may
he consulted on all diseases, hut more particularly
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary o< plea
sure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this painiiil dis
ease, it too often happens that an ill-timed sense of
shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from apply
ing to those who, from education and respcctubility
can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this horrid disease make theirappear
ance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs,dimness of sight,
deaftiess, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches
on the head, faceaHd extremities, progressing on with
frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or
the bones of the nose fall in and the victim of this aw
ful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration,
till death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by
sending him to "that bourne whence no traveller re- 4
turns." To such, therefore, Dr. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy; and,
from his extensive practice in the first hospitals of
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of
this horrid disease.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
to this horrid disease, owing lo the unskillfulness oi
men, who by the use of thai deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitution, and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an untimely grave, or else make the residi*)
of his life miserable.
! GONORRHOEA AND GLEET CURED, by the
most speedy and the most pleasant remedy known to
Ino other physician. It requires 110 restraint of diet,
or hindrance from business—it is mild, safe and effi
j cacious, eradicating every symptom of this affection,
L without causing other diseases, such as STRICTURE
| and AVSECTIONS OK THE BLADDER and PROSTRATR
GLAND, which impyrics and quacks so often createby
j their noxious drugs and filthy infections.
| STRICTURES—when there is a partial suppres
sion of urine, accompanied with uneasiness in the
I parts, or a frequent desire to make water, it is called
I Stricture. Vet this disease may exist, and none 01
these symptoms be perceptible, or if at all, they are
so slight as io pass unnoticed; hence, we find thou
sands laboring under this affection who are entirely
unconscious of it—such persons become weak in the
parts, seldom have children, arid in the later stages of
this complaint are incapable of enjoying Marriage—
their systems heroine deranged, particularly the
stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec
tions of the mind, peculiar fits ol melancholy, &c.
See. which may end in some dreadful disease of the
i nerves, and will either caaße a premature death or
j else make the rest of life miserable. To such per
sons, Dr. JOHNSTON offers the most speedy remedy
that can be obtained in the United States.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE,
j Young men who have injured themselves by a eer
tain practice indulged in when alone—a habit fre
| quelltly learned from evil companions, or at school
I the effects of which are nightly felt even when asleep,
j und if not cured renders marriage impossible, and de-
J stroys both mind and body.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
- country, and the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequences of deviating from the path of
nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that a sound and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote Connubial happiness.
Indeed, without these, the journey through life he
comes a weary pilgrimage, the pros.pect hourly datk
ens to the view—the mind becomes shadowed with
despair,and tilled with the melancholy reflection, that
the happiness of another becomes blighted with our
own.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.
Dr. .1. addresses young men and all who have in
joreil 'hcinselvee by private & improper indulgences.
IMPOTENCE—WEAKNESS Of- THE GENI
TAL ORGANS.
Loss of virile posver is the penalty most frequently
I aid by those who give a loose rein > r license <o their
passions. Young pel. ons are too apt to commit ex
cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occuta from
stricture, depositee in Hie urine, gravel, and from nu
merous other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual or
gans, by excessive venery or self-pollution; purlieu
lurly the latter is the more frequent cause of it. Now
who that understands the subject will pretend to deny
that the power of procreating the species is lost soon
er by those who practice the solitary vice than by the
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di
gestive functions are deranged, ami ihe physical and
mental powers weakened by a too frequent and too
great excitement of the genital organ*. Parents and
guardians are often misled, with respect to the
causes or sources of diseas : in their sons and wards.
Ilow often do they ascribe to other causes the wast
ing of the frame, idiotey, madness, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, derangement of the nervous sys
tem, cougii and sym touts, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that they have been caused by in
dulging in a pernicious, though alluring practice, des
tructive to both mind and body.
INVOLUNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
Of this distressing disease, which is the common
result of 'he above mentioned secret hahit, but a very
brief description for many reasons,can be given here.
The complaint comes on gradually. It begins by a
too hasty discharge of serren in copulative and pas
sionate dreams. Suetr emissions being too hasty,
have no power, while the erections are feeble, imper
fect and soon over. As the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become more easily ex
cited and frequent, often brought 011 by lascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the part. In ibis deplo
rable ease, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debilitated
and sensitive state of the organs the direful effects of
pollution so ruinous to health, take place day and
night. Pale, emaciated, and weak, the unhappy vic
tim of artificial gratification complains of pain in the
head and back, has a languid look, dimness of sight,
flushing of the face when spokbn io, townees of spi
rits, and a vague dread of something, often starting
with terror at a sudden sight or sound. He also
loathe society, from an innate sense of shame, and
feels a dislike to all bodily arid mental exertion.—
Distressed, and his mind fixed upon his miseries, he
slyly searches every source 'oat promises relief.
Ashamed to make known his situation to his friends,
or those who by education, study,and practical know
ledge, are able 10 relieve him, he applies to the igno
rant and designing, who filch him of his pecuniary
substance,and instead of restoring him to heallth,
leave him to sigh over his galling disappointment; the
last scene of the drama winds up with mania, cata
lepsy, epilepsy or some terrible disease of the nerve 3,
and death drops the curtain, hurrying the unhappy
patient to an untimely tomb, w here his friends art
totally Ignorant of the real eonse.
