To Registers and Receivers of Land Offices, established under the credit system. Treasury Department, ) General Land Office, 1st March, 1825. J Gentlemen:- The Secretary of the Treasury, having this day decided that debtors to the United States "for public lands, whose balances were placed on further credit, under the act of 2d March, 1821, in the third class, the period for completing payment on which expired, agreeably to that act, three months after the period for paying the last installment, viz: on the 31st day of December last, are entitled to the benefits of the

act of the 18th of May, 1821, and the act of

the 2Gth of the same month, supplementary thereto, which extends the time for completing payment to the 10th day of April, next. You will therefore admit the holders of certificate of further credit in the 3d class, to complete their payments under the aforesaid act, until the 10th day of April next.

From theN. Y. Com. Adv. March 15. Very late from England. The Packet ship Columbia, Captain Lee, was announced below yesterday afternoon, and this morning she came up. By this arrival the Editors of the Commercial Advertiser had received their regular files of Lon

February, and a letter from tneir attentive correspondent, written at half past 7 o'clock, on the evening of the 14th. STATE OF IRELAND, The attention of both houses of Parliament was occupied at the last dates upon f. the state of Ireland. In the House of Lords on the 10th of February, the Earl of Liverpool moved "a revival of the committee to inouire into the state of Ireland, more espe-

j - cially aa to the circumstances which led to

the disturbances m that part ot the United Kingdom." Heretofore the inquiries had

keen limited: but the ministry seem now

disposed to make it general, excluding, Lord L. declared, the Catholic Question. The T?-irl Dnrnlev congratulated their Lord

He next told me something wonderful about some great prophet who visited this place, and standing up straight, he pointed out a hole in the rock, the size of his own heard; and he appeared to allude to the prophet Elias. "And did this prophet exist in the time of Cain and Abel, ' 1 asked. "O yes,5' he replied. I was then conducted outside the grotto to see the forty tombs, and the stains of the blocd of Abel. In a long covered place, are forty narrow flag-stones along the wall, arranged at equal distances. Spots of a red hue are visible on the mountain adjoining, and this he affirmed to be the blood of the murdered Abel. T asked, was not Noah's Hood sufficient to wash away the blood of Abel? Yes, replied the deotee, but God designed this blood to remain, and here you see it. and all the English come to look at it.

The soldier devoured his substance, and laughed his complaints to scorn.- He toiled the hopeless day, and at night lay down in weariness. Yet noble he was of heart, though his estate was lowly. His cottage was open to the poor. He brake his children's bread, and ate of it sparingly, that the hungry might have share. He welcomed the benighted traveller, and rose with the stars of the morning to put him on his way. But his soul repined within him, and he sought relief in his change.

INFLUENCE OF HABIT. It is well occasionally to remind physicians of the powerful influence of habit on the human system. We have hitherto frc-

qucntly adverted to this, and we now give, 11.. a . 1

in illustration oi our rcmaks, the extraordinary fact, corrosive sublimate having lost its noxious properties in the person of a Turk, from this circumstance alone. "A "man," about 106 years of age, was lately living at Constantinople, who was known all over that city by the name of 'Solyman, the eater of corrosive sublimate.' In the early part of his life, he accustomed himself, like other Turks, to the use of opium, buc not feeling the desired effect,' he augmented his dose to a great quantity,' without feeling any inconvenience, and at length' took a drachm or sixty grains daily. He went into the shop of a Jew apothecary, to whom he was unknown, asked for a drachm of sublimate, which he mixed in a glass of water, and drank it instantly. The apothecary was dreadfully alarmed, because he knew the consequences of being accused of poisoning a Turk: but what was his astonishment when he saw the same man return the next day for an equal dose of the same quality! It is said that Lord Elirin, Mr. Smith, and

' j other Englishmen, knew this man, and have

heard him declare that his enjoyment, alter having taken this active poison, is the greatX 1 f 1.L I" I .A

The Jews in Constantinople, had once a violent altercation with some musselmen, concerning paradise; the former insisting that they alone, on leaving this world, coukl be admitted into it. 'If that is your maxim.' what is to become of us?' demanded the Turks. The Jews being afraid to say that their antagonists will be utterly excluded from heaven, replied, "why you will be placed on the outside of the walls, and will have the pleasure of viewing us." -The merits of this singular dispute at length reached the cars of the Grand Vizier, who,

as he only waited a pretext to exact fresh contributions from the Jews, declared, 'since these fellows think proper to shut the gates of paradise against us, it is but just that thcy should supply us with pavillions, in order to shelter us from the inclemency of the weather." He accordingly levied, besides what they had hitherto paid, an additional tax from the Jews, and that avowedly for the purpose of furnishing pavillions for the Turks in the other world; a tax with which the Jews arc saddled in Turkey to this day. CONTENTMENT. A man asked a pious minister, who had struggled through many difficulties without repining, or discovering impatience, how it was he could always be easy and contented, under whatever sense? The good man replied,44! can teach you the secret with great facility: It consists in nothing more than making a right use of my eyes. In whatever state I am, I first of all look up to heaven, and remember that my principal busi-' ness is to get there. I then look down upon earth, and call to mind how small a space I shall occupy in it, w hen I come to be interred. I then look abroad into the world, and observe what multitudes there are, who are more unhappy than myself. Thus I learn where true happiness is placed; where all our earthly cares must end; and how very little reason I have to complain or repine." Reader, improve this advice, and you will' profit by it.
