DEAR JERRY :—This the secondbf April is the coldest day eVer felt in thiirmottth in the City of New Y6rk. The wind blows fiercely, coldly and with terrible power.— While standing for a few moments this morning at the Battery, looking out upon the shipping and the foam crested waves, we observed a medium sized vessel drifting at the mercy of the winds, her anchor being too light to hold her stationary on the disturbed waters.

On Sunday morning we crossed the East River and had the pleasure of hearing a very excellent sermon from Henry Ward Beecher, whose great popularity continues unabated. His sermon was plain and practical, interspersed with an occasional burst of impassioned eloquence his object was to show the absolute importance of having a correct standard in religion, and living up to it. A false standard in any department of business will lead to disastrous results. If, for instance, an individual in building a great ship, should make a miscalculation in his timbers, and continue the progress of his work notwithstanding it is pointed out by other architects, the pon-

who has just returned from the Convention of Bishops held in Rome to decide upon

the doctrine of the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary. An immense crowd ot both Protestants and Catholics assembled to hear him. It was a new idea that a convention of Bishops should be held to decide upoti a doctrine of an infallible church, whose head occupied the place of God on earth and we are not to be surprised that curiosity was awakened to know what so learned a man as Bishop Hughes had to say upon the subject.

The winds have lulled somewhat this evening, though still cold and chilly. Expect to witness a number of surgical operations during the week by Dr. Pancoast, one of the most eminent living surgeons.

The Poet Wallace, Liquor and the DramSeller, &c., &c.

PHILADELPHIA,

April 3, 1855.

On Sabbath last, while sitting in the Clinton Hotel in the city of New York, a friend asked if we had ever seen the Poet Wallace, saying at thc same time that he was in the bar taking a spree. We immediately crossed the hall and entered the bar to observe the intercourse between the Poet

Many of our readers are

Jour

nal. When entering ti* bar we observed the man of genius

standing

with his elbow

resting on the counter and speaking in a vehement manner to the cool

the opposite side of the counter. The fiery liquid had been swallowed, whose mighty, yet mysterious powers had mounted to thc brain, driven reason from her throne, disturbed the harmony of the physical system and robbed

genius of his lofty in

spiration. That heavenly fire which glowed and blazed with dazzling radiance in moments of sobriety, now but darkly glimmered in the dimness of a shadoway light and found utterance wild and incoherent babblings that lofty mind from which in its natural bodthe'winds and zephyrs, aii'1 star-light of heaven elicited fitruiae of

divine ad impassioned poesy, is now like the ruined harp, whose strings are cankered with rust and beaten by storms from.which the most skilled performer could draw forth nothing but discordant and jarring sounds. In the character of the two individuals before us there were marked differences.— The one was cool, quiet—possessed of a small stock of brains, and grasping after the dimes though the liquid poison he issued forth should blot out the pure lights of genius which are the poetry of earth, and dim the light of the stars which are the poetry of heaven. The other was wild, impassioned, nervous—with a temperament active, impetuous, which at times sweeps on. in. in controlable might, over whom an appetite well nigh insatiable as the grave, has long held sway. The former knew full well the week points of the latter was well aware of the fact that to taste his fiery fluid was but madness for the latter, and yet he handed him the fiery liquid for the paltry pittance of a few cents. What palliation can be offered for the liquor seller's conduct What plea of justification can be set up? WTho will not condem him selling the liquor to him whom he knew may fall from its influence? 'Twas a humiliating spectacle, on which we looked with pity and abhorrence pity for the fallen poet, abhorrence for him by whom he fell. Such scenes of daily occurrence unite their voices in" one loud demand for a prohibitory law a law which will pralyze the arm of him who would ruthlessly paralyze the arm of genius and of intellect.

There is at prosent a striking difference in the appearances of the personages who appear in the streets of New York and Philadelphia in the former comparatively few ladies of fashion appear in the streets, but one interminable rush and jam of men in the latter there is a greater mixture, many fashionable ladies may how be seen on Chestnut, Arch and a few other streets, which very much relieves the dull monotony pertaining to that vast wilderness of men which ever throng the city of New York.

We have learned that the severe gale of yesterday was the cause of much damage. At New Jersey, a glass factory waa blown down, which buried in its ruins some 15 or 20 person, injured many more and ti^rew a larger number ont of employment. Much damage has also been done to the shipping. There is a great diminution in the importation of goods during the presguf

vear

gg compared with the last, which is

regarded as very favorable omen for the business of tho country I or years past the importations li^ve been far too great. The balance of trade was against us—gold and silver were largely exported—banks were crippled and the

progress

generally checked. Southern

of business

and

western

merchants, indeed, merchants fromaM parts of the country are buying prudently and with great caution. This policy will impart a healthier tone to the business of the coming year. Business men will not be so cramped and crippled in their operations the business of another year will commence on a firm and subtantial basis confidence will again be restored and the tide of prosperity will again flow boomingly on.

During our visit to this portion of our country, we have been led to compare the monetary operations of those State's in which banks are not allowed to issue small bills with those in which small notes constitute a large portion of the circulation.— In this State, Pennsylvania, thc banks are not suffered to issue small notes, and consequently gold, silver and small change are abundant In Indiana where small bank bills are as abundant and almost as "worthless as autumnal leaves, it is almost impossible to get change for a single dollar merchants have been compelled to resort to the miserable policy of issuing shin-plasters. Let Indiana adopt the policy of having no bills of less denomination than five or ten dollars, and gold and silver will become abundant, the miserable rags which are but a burlesque on money will vanish from our midst and their places supplied by thc glittering coin itself. It is greatly to be desired that some change may take place in the banking institutions of Indiana, yvhich will prevent the

return

of those fearful crisises

through which we have so recently passed. The vast amount of banking we have had is enough to ruin any ordinary State and if not checked with wholesome restraints, will yet rest like a mildew on the energies of our people. Give us a good currency, safe banking institutions, and Indiana with her exhaustless resources, her vigorous and enterprising population will stand .proudly among the first States of the Union.'

It really seems pleasant to be seated at a table on which may be found an abundance of thc much admired vegetable the Irish Potatoe. In this State and through New York, they are very fine and abundant.— To-day we had Lettuce for dinner, but the weather is so cold that it seemed out of place:, There is such an abundance of vegetables here that we can scarcely realize the fact of their great scarcity in Indiana. We trust another such year will not soon be experienced in our State.

Truly, T. W. FRY,

PHILADELPHIA,

April 6, 1855.

DEAR JERKY:—Our readers ere this have doubtless seen the result of the elections recently held in Connecticut, Virginia and Rhode Island, which must have strengthened their already deep convictions that the American party, radiant as it is with the sun-light of American liberty, is yet destined to still move on in glorious triumph. The eneipies of that party may brand it it wifcb profervptkra, may iLenounc* it as a

secret conclave of midnight assassins, they may fulminate their anathemas in tones of seven-fold thunder, yet they may not stay tlie march of a party that has before it so glorious a mission. Rhode Island and Connecticut have lifted tip their voices in opposition to the present imbecile and extravagant administration. The municipal election of Richmond Virginia, shows an overwhelming feeling in favor of the American party, and this is but a faint signalgun of the battle now approaching. A party as selfish, as tyranical, as corrupt as are the leaders of Old Lineism, cannot stand when an enlightened public opinion is brought to bear upon it; or if it should stand, its feet will be planted on the ruins of this great fabric of Empire.

,.j

But during •our .stay in this City, we are paying far more attention to the professional studies than to the drifitings of the political currents. The standard of the medical profession in this city, is higher than that of aiiy other in our country, save Boston. There are collected here a number of physicians whose superiors are seldom to be found. For several days past we have attended the Wills Hospital for the Blind and Lame, now under the charge of Dr. Littell, a "man of superior acquirements and whose long and extensive experience, in connection with his success has given him a high reputation. There are generally in the Hospital some fifty patients, and from 80 to 50 outside patients who receive gratuitous advice and purchase their own medicine. Many who are able to pay endeavor to slip in under the plea of poverty. The more we study the mechanism of the human system so fearfully and wonderfully made, the more we observe the thousand delicate tissues and organs, the delicate gossamar net-work of nervous matter, the mysterious play of the heart and lungs and the more comprehensive view we take of the remedial agents employed in the medical treatment of the sick, the more we attempt to comprehend the mutual action and reaction of mind and body, more clearly do we see and feel the mighty responsibility resting upon him who would practice the healing art. The physician who makes no effort to keep pace with the progress of the profession, who seldom or never studies the great lights of medical science, who depends alone upon his own limited experience for skill can have no adequate idea or just conception of his professional duties. Thc human body is by far the most wonderful and complicated piece of mechanism ever devised by human or Divine wisdom, and yet how often is it placed in the hands of those who have never had the faintest glimpse of its internal workings. The ignorant, the stupid, the unlettered, are in thousands of instances entrusted with the care of this wonderful frame-work, and the grave in hundreds of instances covers tip their fatal blunders. Unfortunate too for the afilictcd, the more ignorant the physician, the more daring is his practice and the more confident is he of success. Ho fears not to battle with the most formidable disease, he hesitates not to pronounce a favorable diagnosis when all the indications point to a speedy dissolu tion he shrinks not from the employment of the most heroic remedies he maintains his practice by bragging and boasting and condemning the practice of others. If there is any subject of mere human study requiring close & accurate investigation it is that of the healing art, and those who expect to follow it as a profession should look well to their responsibilities.

Money matters in this part of the country are much easier than they have been for some months back, and all departments of business are wearing healthier tone a wise prudence marks the purchase of almost all our merchants. The whole-sale dealers are looking more carefully to the ability and business character of those who purchase from them. A fine coat or a good address is not noyv sufficient evidence of capital and skill in busihess.' This is a happy thing for our country. Experience has shown that a straight-forward honesty and integrity based upon either small or great capital is by far the best recommendation for business men. The people of this State are still battling on the subject of temperance, which cause is slowly but steadily gaining the more it is discused the stronger and more invincible become the arguments in its favor. A law compelling the closure of liquor shops on Sunday has already passed, and the happy effects of the law are already felt throughout the whole State.

The weather here is wearing a more spring-like appearance. Warm and gentle breezes would now be doubly grateful sinco the winter has been so long and cold.

In a few days we shall leave for home via Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Louisville. Very truly, T. W. FRY.

Bichest Man in Kentucky. The Danville Tribune says: Bishop Spaulding, the Roman Catholic Bishop of this State, is the wealthiest man in the State. His real estate, consisting of Cathedrals, churches, monasteries, nuneries, asylums, hospitals,

&c.,

is worth not

less than from two millions to five millions of dollars. Since the Council of Roman Catholic Bishops of the United States, assembled in Baltimore in 1848, promulgated their decree, requiring all individuals and trustees holding property for the use of the church to convey the same to the .Bishops, all of the church property in the State, as we are informed, has been conveyed to Bishop Spaulding. Bishop Spaulding is now more than a

millionarie.

NOTICE

TT?^Y an act of Congress passed March 3d, 1855, granting bounty land to Soldiers, and all others who served in aiiv capacity in any of the wars since 1790, each person, or if dead, 1m widow or minor children, is entitled to a certificate or warrant for such quantity of land as shall make in the whole with what he may have heretofore received, 160 Acres, provided he shall have served a period not less than fourteen days. Being associated with a gentleman in Washington City who has been connected with the General Land Office for many years, all claims intrusted to my care will receive prompt attention. The advantage of having a responsible Agent at tho Department is, that claims will be attended to without delay, while those sent to tho Commissioner are often crowded out for many months. No charge made in any case where the warrant is not obtained.
