A panorama of New T ork was about to be exhi
bited in London, at the last dates; that of the
!l Falls of Niagara” attracted crowds. Among
the shows of that city, we observe one adver
ted as “ The Breathing Napoleon. It is thus
described:
“On a conch lies the conqueror of tyrants
and the despot of the world, attired in the mil
itary dress of a general worn by him when he
was Consul. The position is such as has been
asserted he always slept in, with one hand on
his chest, and one linger inserted in his coat
between the button holes. On approaching,
the visiter perceives the chest heave, and, on
watching, observes the continual gentle but re
gular undulation consequent upon breathing.—
To carry the deception fur ther, it has been so
managed that, on touching any portion of the
exterior of the body, it is with astonishment we
perceive that our lingers are in contact with
a substance that gives way to the impression,
and, on being removed, the indentation readily
disappears w ith as much ease as it would from
i ►* living frame. Where bone should be, there
ve find a hard and bony-like (we mean no pun)
material; where flesh, it is soft as flesh; where
cartil ig-\ it is proportionally yielding. This
extraordinary invention is still a secret; and
t e name given to the compound, w hich so a<>
» uni • y represents the exterior of the human
bodv, is rf<uvoat«Mt.”
Sinful ir ltubbery.—\Ye have learned one or
t.v>; ft \—l irs about the recent robbery, that dis
t.ng'i h it from almost any other act of villainy
that • ver fell under our notice. It appears that
'•a the | lth instant, the cashier of the Newbury
H i ;k. Vi. delivered to a man named Morrison,
of I’ u hnu in the same State, a package of
. - .unouiding to $3,900. to be deliveied to
M-'-a s. Emerson. Lamb & H irvey of this city.
Morrison is a small manufacturer of flannels
• IV.u hani. where he has resided for the last
<o or -ix years, and has borne an uniformly
g *nd character. He ha- been considered a ve
ry industrious and honest man, and in every res
p xi wormy oi trust anu confluence.
The cashier wrote by mail to his correspon
dents iu tins city that he h;ul s»*nt the money by
this Morrison, who was travelling in a two horse
waggon with a load of flannels, and would not
probably reach Boston till Saturday. His non
••rr val on that day of course created no sur
prise, as the extreme heat of the weather, and
a thousand circumstances incident to a travel
ler. might have delayed him. On Monday some
1 Me apprehension was excited by his continu
ed absence, and early the next morning one of
tno firm commenced a search for the missing
money and Morrison. After a number of in
quiries he ascertained the name of the mer
chant to whom Morrison was in the habit of
s-'.iini» his flannels, and learned that he had been
iii the store at an early hour on Monday, and
ii'ked the boy when his master would be in—
adding that he had some flannels to sell him
and would call again. Sincethat time nothing
md been seen or heard of him.
^ rom subsequent inquiries it was ascertained
Mat on Saturday night he had stopped at a
bouse in Charlestown. On questioning the
landlord, it appeared that this man had told
•uni he had a large sum of money for Messrs.
• .amh & Harvey, and was very anxious about
t- He was desirous to deliver it that night, and
was told where one of the firm resided. Appa
rently with this intention he came into Boston,
called on a friend living in Hanover street, told
r'i.nj Mat he had a considerable sum of money
U|M Kim which he could not deliver that night,
and requested permission to remain there. To
* us his friend consented.
The money seemed continually to be upper
most in his njind; and in walking with his friend
in State street the next day—Sunday—he ob
served on the “ anxiety and responsibilty” ot |
having so large an amount of money in his I
charge—stating that so much of it was for one
Bank—and so much for another—pointing them
out as he passed down the street
! On Monday morning he put up his team at
Jennings’s in Elm street, where his waggon and
flannels, to the amount ot about S2000 were at
tached on the following morning by the mer
chant above referred to as the purchaser ot his
manufactures. Since that time nothing has
been heard of him. Late on Tuesday night
hand bills were got out describing his person
and disappearance and were sent off in every
direction by the morning stages,—Bost. Atlas.
The New Haven Register says that after ha
vin'* distracted the country six months about
the°Bank, the Whig press refuse to make it a j
i party question, and the Register falls into a j
passion about this ‘‘ political profligacy.” The '
attacks on the Bank, fur two years, have been
the political trick of the Regency to gain!
strength, and they feel deeply mortified and
provoked because the Whig party, aware of
their object, will not make the Banka party
1 question, but go for the Constitution awl Laics.

Failure at Fall River.—The Tappanists on

PRICES OF PRODUCE IN RICHMOND.
To the Editors of the Richmond Whip.
Richmond, July 21st, 1S34.
Your note of yesterday was handed to me
this morning. 1 have observed the efforts to
prove the innocence, if not the benefit of remo
ving the Deposites, by reference to the high pri
ces now paying for produce in this market.
This market is comparatively a small one for
wheat and flour. Almost every market north of
us is larger. Their prices are regulated by the
general operations of trade all over the irorld.
Our city mills work for one market only, that of
South America. Our millers have seen flour
from the country mills decline to £1 1-2, and yet
they have obtained S6 and upwards. Again,
they have seen it at S5 1-2, and yet they could
not raise their prices. You will, from these re
marks, see that our operations are no standard
from which to form an opinion of the wheat and
flour business of this country. Look at the pri
ces of wheat and flour in Raltiinore, Now York,
and Philadelphia. In all these places the de
pression is evident, and a proof of it is, that
thousands of bushels have been sold here this
year from the lower country, that have always
heietofore found a market to the North. We
have been giving prices 20 to 30 cents above
what we ought to have given. No millers can
live at the prices we have been giving. Look at
our country millers; they bought a little wheat
when the prices were low, and several have sold
it to the city millers rather than grind it. The
prices for flour all over the United States justify
no such prices for wheat; therefore these prices
for wheat here furnish no evidence of the pros
perity of the country.
The milling power of Richmond is far be
yond the supply of wheat. 1 do not think the
amount of wheat brought to Richmond exceeds
six hundred thousand bushels. The Gallego
mills could grind this in two-thirds of the year,
running night and day, as they always do, and
barring accidents. Haxall’s mills are to the
Gallego as 14 to 20. Competition, and compe
tition alone, put the price ol wheat up from 110
and 115 cents to 130 cents.

At Wheatland, in Jefferson County Va., on
the 18th, after a severe illness of several weeks,
Henry Smith Turner. Esq., aged 64. Mr.
| Turner was a native of Eastern Virginia, and
represented, many years ago, the county of
Westmoreland in the House of Delegates, fie
was gifted with powers of elocution in a pre
eminent degree, yet he never sought public sta
tion after his removal to Jefferson, but enjoyed,
upon his beautiful estate the pleasures of social
intercourse. lie was a gentleman of polished
manners, and of peculiarly easy and fascina
ting colloquial abilities—punctiliously just and
honorable in his transactions with his fellow
men. His place among his friends, and in the
family circle of which he was the efficient lipad,
is now a gloomy void; yet the remembrance of
his many noble and generous traits of charac
ter, will long hallow his memory with those who
knew his worth.
On the 18th, after a long indisposition, Mr.
I Samuel Howard, of Jefferson County Va., in
the 61st year of his age. Mr. Howard was a

but for many years a resident, and highly res
pectable merchant of Petersburg. Buoyant
spirits, warm and friendly feeling for his fellow
man, a high moral sense of integrity, and cor
rect and honorable bearing, distinguished the
course of this gentleman from the earliest to the
last moments of his life.— He has left an affec
tionate sister in Petersburg, to lament a bereave
ment from a brother she most tenderly loved,
and several relatives in Richmond, to mourn a
loss, to them irreparable.

C. and the public in general, and is ready to be
consulted GRATIS in all cases of disease inci

that virulent and almost yet unconquerable dis
ease the CANCER, as unquestionable autority
can prove the cure of the most awful casewhich
ever afflicted one of the human family. To
those afflicted with this direful scourge, with
hundreds of others, he particularly refers to the
cure of James Bond, a slave, formerly the pro
perty of Miss Sally Griffith, of this city, whose
desperate situation, though for a series of years
laboring under this affliction, yielded to his
skill, though it had baffled the science of most
of the faculty. Hopeless of relief, in a reduced
situation, abandoned by his friends, and seek

a sight which would shock the finer feelings of
mankind; at this time, fortunately for this ob

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
The subscriber respectfully informs his
flli l friends and the public generally that the
SPRING, formerly known as “DUVALL’S,”
is now opened for the reception of company.
Every attention will be paid for the accommo
dation of those who may visit this Spring. The
situation possesses many advantages,—located
five miles west of Winchester, in a healthy and
agreeable neighborhood, remote from any wa
ter course. The property has undergone a tho
rough repair; nearly all the buildings are new,
and sufficient room to accommodate about 75
persons. The water is highly medicinal, hav
ing stood the test for 25 or 30 years. Many re
spectable certificates could be procured, were it
necessary, to prove the value of this water. In
dyspepsia, diarrhea, affections of the liver, cu
taneous affections, suppressed perspiration, de
bility, and many other diseases to which the hu
man system is subject, this water, upon a fair
trial, I hope, will not be less efficacious than any
sulphur water whatever. The accommodations
shall be equal to any other watering place; the
most trusty servants provided, and our table
shall be furnished w ith the best our markets af
ford. I trust that a few weeks can be agreea
bly and profitab y spent at this Spring. There
is a Shower Bath of sulphur water, and a Warm
Bath for invalids. This Springis but one day’s
travel from Baltimore and the District; the stage
passes it three times a week, from Harper’s I* er
ry. by way of Charlestown. It is, also, but one
day’s travel from Bath and Capon. Boarding
only $6 per week, or $1 per day for a leg* time;
children and servants halfprice. Dinner 50cts;
breakfast and supper 37 1-2 cents. The Sha
nondale Water will be kept constantly.
