ALEXANDRIA, D. C.
THRRSDAY MORNING, APRIL 6-_
We publish, in to-day’s paper, the recent Des
patch of our Secretary of State, to our Minister at
London, on the subject of fhe Right ot \ imitation
or Search. It is a very important and interesting
document, marked with the ability which always
characterises the productions ot its auihor. lie
applies his mind to nothing that he does not elu
cidate. _
Nobody as yet knows when Mr. Webster i% to
j,vc the Cabinet, or whether he will leave at
all. When Mr. Everett is heard from, we shall
probably Luow something more.
The Hon. Oliver IT. Smith, late Senator in
fortress for Indiana, is to be the \\ hig candidate
to represent the district of Indianapolis, in the
lower house at Washington. No man would do
the State more credit. We trust that his elec
tion is certain.
The river at Wheeling on the 1st inst. was
high,but the snow had melted gradually, and no
fears of a freshet w ere anticipated.
At Cincinnati on the 31st ult. the river was
rising and within ten feet of the store at La
tham's corner. There was much drift wood co
ming down.
The Treaty'with Cm\\\.—The Canton Re
gister of November loth gives the substance of
some Chinese documents, then recently received
at Macao. English merchants are to he permit
ted to reside with their families at Canton, Full
keen, Amoy, Ningpo, arid Chinghac; to enjoy the
advantages of free trade; English consuls to be
appointed for the said ports, a place to be assign
ed and materials furnished for the repair of ves
sels that have sustained damage; the I long mo
nopoly to be abolished, and English merchants to
trade with any whom they choose to deal with;
Ef and three millions of dollars are appropriated
| for the payment of debts due from the Hong
I merchants to the English.
_ _
We stated, in our lu-t paper, that Mr. Cooke,
on the day following his unfortunate rencontre
; with Mr. Gardner, at Norfolk, had been discharg
ed by the sitting magistrate before whom the case
v/as examined. We now learn that Mr. Cooke
1 was re-arrested on Sunday, and committed to jail
for further examination, on the ground that new
evidence had been discovered, having an impor
tant bearing on the matter. Monday was the day
appointed for affording hun a hearing before the
Aldermen's Court.
We have received Uu. first number ol the beau
tiful edition of Shakspeure, commenced by the
Harpers—and the fifth number of Urande's Ency
clopedia, by the same publishers—for sale by
Messrs. Bell& Entwisle.
Wo have also received from the publisher
Campbell's Foreign Monthly Magazine for April.
The Harpers are doing the cause of sound lite
rature true service in th ir publications.
In default of appropriations by the General
Government, the inhabitants of some of the ports
x>n Lake Michigan manifest u commendable en
terprise, by undertaking harbor improvements on
individual account. The Milwaukio Sentinel
states that Messrs. Tufts, Kendall & Co., of that
place, are perfecting arrangements for the imme
diate construction of a pier from the foot of Hu
ron street, which will project into Lake Michigan
nearly 1000 feet. That paper of the 15th says
operations have already commenced, \rrango
ments are also being made at Southport to en
large the facilities cf the pier at that place for re
ceiving and discharging freight from sleamboats
and vessels the coming season.
Death ok Bisi*or Uohekt.*.—We regret to learn
by a slip from the Cincinnati Western Christian
Advocate, that the venerable Bishop Roberts, of
the Methodist 1 pfecopal Church, died at his resi
dence, near Lawrcnceport, Indiana, on the3»th
March.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
Ci mkkul wo, April 1, 1H43.
We have had a rainy week, which has carried
off much of the snow about this place; hut whilst
raining here it has been snowing on the Savage
Mountain, and sending us a raw blustering wind
mixed with snow. The prospect »»f a freshet was
so t?ur, that the coni dealers collected their men
and were up all last night in the ram loading
their boats; but the change of weather checked
the thaw, so that the river did nut rise high
enough to swim a loaded gondola.—Several keel
boats, built tor the ('anal trade, were despatched
thii morning loaded with coal.
The prospect of the opening of the Pennsylva
nia Canal has had an edict upon the transporta
tion trade.—The wagon price, which is up to £1,
f>2A, was beyond what merchants were willing to
gi\e, so they have kept the goods back waiting
for the Pennsylvania works, on which account
v«ry fe>v goods hive been received here for the
last few days. This is to be regretted. Nothing
but regular teagan lines, at fixed prices, will secure
a steady, constant business. This must be done,
and it is to be hoped that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, at their next meeting, will
oiler such inducements as will encourage enter- '
prising men to risk organizing wagon lines—
which was tried before arid failed, and which will
make it more dillicnlt to persuade men to invest
their money in a like project; but the Railroad I
C ompany can induce the experiment without in
curring loss or responsibility. To secure the
trade, as they have the travel, it must be done
without delav.
The local business continues brisk—merchants
find ready salo, and the farmers a good market.—
Mechanics have plenty to do, and the laborers
need nut be idle.
______
N\c lcara, with no little surprise, that Mr
VVisc, in his addresses to the people, proclaims
hims-jlf still a \\ hig a Republican \\ hie;—-while
he coolly turns over his opponent, Mr. Carter, to
the Federal division of the Whig party. Mr.
Wise must count largely on the gullibility of the
Whigs of the 4 tH District, and indeed he pavs
but a poor compliment to their intelligence when
ne tells them he is a Whig, and, as such, solicits !
iw ,r ksuPfor^ nvist suppose, either that
* that they have never known, or having known,
forgotten entirely, his history for the last
Hop*0 jeara, er, that they are so ineffably stupid
as not to know what constitutes a Whig.”

Progress of Necrology.—La^t Fridav Dr
Buchanan mnde a visit to Salem, at the re juUt of
many who felt an interest in his science In the
evening a select company t f seventy or eighty of
the principal citizens assembled to icam the’na
ture of the new science. Several impressible
persons, we are informed, were found in the
company, who were believed to be suitable sub
jects for the illustration of his principles, and
some of them consented to undergo experiments.
Upon trial, a young gentleman and a young lady,
the former apparently nineteen or twenty, and
the latter about fourteen years of aze, appeared
to be very sensibly excited by touching the dif
ferent parts of the head. After a brief explana
tion of the objects and principles of neurology, tho
Doctor proceeded to his experiments, and gave i
' the most convincing evidence of the truth of his
discoveries.
Out of some twenty or thirty experiments in
exciting the organs, not a single failure occurred.
The display of the different feelings in the counte
nance, manners and language was complete, and j
highly gratifying to the company. To show thati
the results were not produced either by imagina- !
I tion or by leading questions, Dr. Buchanan com- ;
munirated his design to some ot the gentlemen,
before making each experiment, and kept the suo- |
jeots entirelv ignorant of the expected effect. i
Ft instance, he wrote upon a slip ot paper that
ho would produce sickntss in trie young lad} > and
without saying a word proceeded to excite organs
which produce that effect.
In less than a minute she appeared to be faint
ing and the operation was instantly changed so as
to restore her. A written request was sent to the
Doctor that, he would excite heat and cold in
' the young gentleman. The experiment was tried:
I and when asked h >w he felt he replied that an
operation made him cold, and the other made him j
warm. Most of the experiments were made upon
organs entirely foreign to the phrenological sys
tem and known only to J)r. Buchanan. After re
ceiving some cautions against the excessive prac
tice of mesmerism and some directions as to the
best method of conducting neurological experi
ments, the company dispersed, highly gratified
with the interesting scene.— Boston Post.

Galvanic Kxpekiments vpox the Bod* of tfie
Criminal Tricotti.—We were present yesterday
to witness the experiments of Professor Grant,;
upon the body of the Italian. Immediately after j
the body was taken down from the gallows, it1
was placed in a cart and conveyed to the hospital
of Dr. Stor.e, where it w as given in charge of
Professor Grant and his assistant, J. Milton San
ders. The body va? placed on a bench in the ‘dead j
house,” and in the presence of a number of spec
tators, Professor Grant commenced his opera
tions. The poicj> of the battery were first applied
to the medium nmes oi the arm, and in an instant
that member was exereiaed with a force which
was truly astonishing. The arm raised up and
grasped a case of surgical instruments, a» if it was
about to throw it at the person who appeared to
be tormenting the patient. The fluid was next
I applied to the anterior crural nerve, and instantly
the leg was thrown up, and worked with violence; j
tho muscles protruded as if they were strained to
their utmost, in the discharge of some heavy and
violent exercise. I
The poles of the battery were now applied to
the port'1 a-1urn, which caused one side of the body
to work in a fearful manner. The anterior tibial
w..s next exi itod, and the same curious phenom
enon exhibited. The fluid was now applied to
the spinul cord, and now it was that the specta- '
tore were horrified with the fearful working of j
tho dead man’s features. Joy, sorrow, grief,
de>pair, hate, anger, and every passion which hu
man features so vividly portray, were exhibited
m their mo>t energetic form, till the professional
part of the spectators (and there were many
present) signified their perfect willingness that
the prolessor should cease his experiments. Af
ter bringing the poles in contact with the semi
lunar ganglion, the experiments were ended. It
was said by several professional gentlemen pre
sent, that they had never witnessed a series of
similar experiments which succeeded so admira
bly as thc»e of Prof. Grant. The Galvanic Mat
tery U'cd was so light that a small boy carried it
away ; still so energetic is this new invention of i
Prof. Grant's, that it comprises within itself an j
intense ] ower, which to ebtain in the old plan,
would require a scries of plates and fixtures, the |
weight of which a horse could not bear. We
understand that Professor Grant intends giving a
series of chemical lectures in this city. His
lectures, we are sure, will be well attended.

IxTI.l’LNCi; OF Ml SIC ON TMK XeUYOCS SYSTEM.
—A Gofitown (X. II.) correspondent of the
Medical and Surgical Journal, mentions an ex
xraorumary instance oi thc client oi music on j
the nervous system. A lady in that town, 45 ;
years of age, has becnaiHicted with St. Vitus's :
Dance, ever since she was a young girl. By
strict attention to diet, and avoiding causes of j
excitement, years have intervened between the
occurrence of the paroxysms. Latterly, how
ever, spasmodic contraction of vhe muscle* to
some extent, may be observed after the patient
has experienced either pleasant or painful emo
tions. One of the mo.\t interesting of the ex
citing causes in this case, is music. Any rapid
tune—a “dancing tunc ' for instance—will throw |
tho voluntary muscles into the most uncontrolla- :
ble and dissociated action imaginable; but by
changing the tune to “Home, Sweet Home,” the
spasmodic twitching of the muscles gradually
* subsides, until she becomes calm again !

Lines on the death of Mrs. Caroline Broken.
“I soon shall be with you, ye blessed band,
Release me, sweet death, with thy mighty hand!”
Sweet notes as they stir, what meaoeth the sound ?
In thy sick room they echo strange voices around,
The angeh are bidding thee, hasten away,
While the welcome resounds through the bright
realms of day.
Then, sweet be thy sleep beneath the cold clod,
Thy spirit now dwells with its Maker and God,
The portals of Heaven have open’d for thee,
Forev’r from anguish ar)d sorrow now: free.
Oft, oft hast thou spoke w’ith joy in thine eye,
Of the triumph, the glory, the bliss, that was nigh;
But the conflict is ended, the strife now is o’er,
And the places that knew thee, shall know thee
no more.
Could affection have sav’d thee thou could’st not
have died,
The friends v/iio were near thee and watch’d by
thy side,
Would have snatch’d one so lovely away from
the tomb
Thus hurried away in thy life’3 early bloom..
And oh! may the heart of that lov’d one, and
dearest,
Look, look to that God, who in sorrow draws
nearest,
To him may the balm of religion be given
To comfort his spirit, and lead him to Heaven.
Thy daughter, on her may thy prayer ever rest,
The God of the Orphan, to guide and to bless,
That motherless one, yes, He will protect,
His arms will support her, her steps he’ll direct.

The election of the present Council, turned
solely on the principle of equalizing the Taxes, so
as to lay a tax on certain, property now exempt
from taxation, and, thereby, reducing the taxes on
property already over-burthened with taxation.—
But 1 am apprehensive that the will of the people
iuay be disregarded, should the Council accede
to the proposition brought forward by a commit
tee of the Canal Board, asking the aid of the
Council to issue stock to the amount of $100,009.
Instead of diminishing the burthen, we will thus
be loaded with a still heavier debt.
The times are such as to call into exercise, all
economy, consistent with the public interest. Our
mechanics, and all the laboring classes,find it ve
ry difficult to provide for their families, without
contributing to an unnecessary increase of taxa
tion. YVe would do well to profit by the example
of other communities, by getting out of debt
as epeedily as practicable. It appears, should
tills stock be issued, it may be disposed of at $80
to the $100; thereby losing one-fifth of the sum.
Y*t the intercut of Si00,000 is to be exacted from
the people, i do not doubt, but the money could,
b.e obtained at 5 or G per cent, interest, as the
tov. n of Alexandria, lias always paid her debts,
promptly.
That this debt can be dispensed w'ith for the
present, I do not doubt, and it will be quite early
to get this sum, when there is a certainty
of a completion of the Main Canal to Cumber
land.
I would respectfully suggest to the Council to
weigh well the matter, before they cast their vote
in favor of this measure. It is an easy thing to
contract a debt, but a very difficult task to be
freed from it. A TAX PAYER.

GADSUY’S HOTEL, WASHINGTON CITY.
This extensive establishment, has recently
been renovated and improved in the interior with
so many useful alterations that a visiter, on en
tering at the main Portico, could scarcely recog
nize the former house. The old Bar, has been
removed to a more retired room, on the left an
gle of the open square, and its former apartment
is now thrown open in connexion witn the front
entrance hall, affoiding a most spacious apart
ment for the office and reception of travellers,
presenting a fine view directly through the centre
of the Hotel. This is one of the most imposing
improvements, and shows the good taste of the
Proprietor.
The I.adie’s Public Drawing Room above, h as
been newly decorated, and most dazzling light co
lored satin paper has taken the place of the for
mer sombre covering; new carpets and other cor
responding improvements have been added. The
Tadic's Dining Room adjoining, has also, receiv
ed its due share of attention, altogether produc
ing in effect, a degree of elegance, comfort, and
cleanliness, not surpassed by the private apart
ments of the wealthy. Hence, no Hotel, to a
private family travelling, affords more advantages
nor perhaps is any fashionable Hotel in New
York, conducted in every thing relating to the
wants of travellers, with more order and regu
larity, than the new footing on which this estab
lishment is now placed. The Table, presents to
the traveller, such a mutiplicity of good things
to his taste, and is served up in such excellent
style, attended with well disciplined waiters,
that full satisfaction in this branch of enjoyment
is to be had—and though good wine needs no bush
—it inay not be out of place to remark, that the
choice stock in the cellars, from the length of
time they have been kept, yields to no other
house in their excellence and good condition for
use, and the evil of drinking bad wine thereby
avoided. As a traveller, in the last year or two,
I have visited many of the Hotels in London and
Faris, where I have in no instance been accom
modated with more real comfort in bed and board
than under the present arrangement at Gadsby’s,
which l understand has been accomplished under
Mr. Wm. Gadsby.
And it may in justice be added, that in select
ing Mr. F. Hume, as his assistant, the choice is
most excellent, and his politeness and unceasing
attention to business is such as to meet the ap
probation and good wishes of the

Whereupon Doctor E. Jones, submitted the
following, for the consideration of the meeting,
vhich after some discussion was adopted.
Whereas, This meeting is impressed with the
lifficulties under which the Whig party ol this
County now labour, resulting from the fact, that
the nominee of the meeting, (held at the usual
time and place of making nominations of candif
dates) has declined, and further that no gentle
man of the Whig party, of such general acquain
tance as will ensure the attendance of the voters !
at the polls can be prevailed upon to accept a !
nomination, do recommend to the voters of Fair
fax, and particularly that portion of them, who ,
believe that a sound currency and prosperous
times can only bo brought about by the incorpo
ration of a National Bank—those who think that
incidental protection should be given to American
industry by the imposition of a Tariff, and that
the proceeds of the sales of the public lands should
be distributed among their rightful owners, the
several States, and all who arc in favor of receiv
ing the part of such proceeds, now due Virginia,
viz: $37,000, thereby relieving the people to that
extent, from the onerous taxes imposed by the
last Legislature—to cast their votes in favor of
Alexanders Grigsby, a gentleman who enter
tains the above views.—who has already been
nominated at a public meeting held at Centreville,
without distinction of party—and who is pledged
to carry out the above measures. Therefore, be it
Resolvcd} That having confidence in Mr. A. S.
Grigsby, and believing that his views of public
men and measures are more in accordance with
our own than any other now before the people as
a candidate, we do recommend him to the con
sideration of those who have heretofore acted
with us, and who believe the foregoing measures
essential to the interests of the country.
