We very seldom putT empirical prepara- j tio.-is, but we know how this is made, and that it is a ; iri'j'.t excellent medicine. It is simple, though effectual.

We are now occasionally receiving ptpers, from New York and other quarters, which were due, in the regular course" sometime in March last. They are of cours very interesting, especially those containing records of the doings of congress and E iropean news. Contractors certainly executeeir duties very promptly and energetically, and are richly entitled to the thanks of the public and the gratitude of editors! (over the Irft .') Wo have seen an oxtea 7i express suggested, as desirable, on the great routes; but we hardly think that the public demands for earl? news would at present justify an experiment of the kind. I'atent Buan-Dl'ster. This is a new machine which has been recently introduced here, and which is worthy of the attention of Millers, and others, engaged in grinding wheat. It is an old and true maxim, that a penny saved is two-pence earned, and eq 11. illy certain we think it is, that thl3 new Eran-Lo-ter will prove useful because economical. Experience shows that even with the best holt, more or Jes flour will escape with the bran. This machine, which is a very pimple one, demonstrates the fact, and the result of its lab .r will astonish the most incredu!uin. We av it in operation the other day, on a small scale, at West's Mills. S line of the cleanest bran was taken, and after being run through this machine, the product obtained was at leat two ounces of it to a pound of bran. A barrel of flour can thus be saved from the bran which is mrde in the ordinary manufacture of twenty-five barrels of flour, and in e viic cases more. We ppeak now of the flour left in bran at the best mills. In ordinary mills the savin would be much greater; and those mills licated in the country, where there is but litt!; demand for bran, would for tho ßirne reason, find this little machine very profitable. It is made upon the principle of a wiiat fan, operating vertically: and is as simp'eas it j is ingenious and practically valuable.

A most remarkable and important trial, called the iiiochinin case," Ina just been closed before the Suprerne Court of Fa., at Philadelphia. The chief points of the case are tlius sta'ed. The complainant, Morgan Ilinchman, a member of the Society of Friends, Irinas suit for damages against fourteen individuals, all Friend?, for a conspiracy against him, to obtain his property, in which they were bo far pnceessful as to gut him confined in the Frankfort Lunatic Asylum, for nearly two years, as a crazy man. At length being permitted to walk in the yard, he effected his escape, and found that his property consisting of a well stocked farm in Montgomery county, had heen sold. O.ie of his children had died while ho u na in the Asylum, and hi9 wife and two other children estranged from him. The Pa. Ledger of April 10, brings us the conclusion of the trial, as follows: The Hinciiman Case A verdict against the Defendenls. The trial in the Ilinchman case is ended, and u verdict has been rendered of i$ 10,000 damages against seven of the conspirators win assisted to place and keep him in confinement in a lunatic asylum. This verdict, after reading all the testimony carefully, appears to us to be n jut one. We have seldom read a trial in which the defence had a more slender thread of evidence to support their case. Their attorneys appeared throughout to labor under and feel this disadvantage, and their arguments, though in onecasea most labored and ingenious one, scarcely amounted to a defence at all. The facts were too glaring, that the defendants had illegally seized a citizen while in the transaction of his ordimry business and immured him for six mouths in a private mad-house, fir more horrible than a jail, and II from one of the meanest motives harbored in the human breast, avarice. Let what const ruction Im put upon the case that may bo, this wan the real motiveth.it prompted the conspirators, who saw in every losing speculation of Ilinchman, u decided proof of hinacy, and who were ready to release him from his horrible confinement, insane; as they pretended to believe him, the moment that he gave them the possession of his property, they believing him to bo sane enough to make such a disposition of it, but not sane cii'Mi'jh to dispose of it in a way that he believeed most advantageous to himself. Avance being the prompting spirit of the defendants, the verdict will touch them sorely. Ilesides punishing the guilty, th" trial will have the additional good eileet of calling the attention of the public ami the Legislature to the nec S'ity of throwing better securities around person. 1 liberty, an. I adapting such restrictions and protections as will prevent designing ami wicked person, from wliiii'vtT motive, using what was designed tobe a benevolent institution, as a prison for the subduing of intractable tempers, tie gratification of malignant moties, or the means of reaching unworthy and unlawful ends. Hugh O'Neal, Esq., through a card in the State Journal, declines a race for Congress in this District. Sensible to the last ! State Stntiwl.

Foreign TVcws. The Journal of Commerce brings us two weeks later
news from Europe received by the teamer Europa, ' A great change seems to have come over the aspect of 'European pol i tie, by the occurrence of recent events. Under the infiuence of more favorable advices from India, and the existing lull in the excitement of Continental politics, trade in nearly every department is beginning to assume a more cheerful aspect. There . i . -t . . is still an uneasy feeling respecting the threatened hostilities in the north of Furope. Hut since the al rupt and decisive termination of tiie cotillict between Sardinia nnd Austria, ihe complete prostration and abdication of Charles Albert, one of the most serious obstacles to a satisfactory adjustment of Continental difiiculties, seems to have been overcome, and could the Danish quarrel bo dispos d of, which unfortunately there is no prospect at present, nothing material would stand in tM; way of permanent prosperity in commercial affairs. Continental. Three Hitl.'cs 1etiren the Austrian and Piedmnntese Armies defeat if Charles Albert, arid his abdication in favor of his Son. At tho sailing ot the Niagara it will bo remembered th at war was impending in the North of Italy, nnd it wm anticipated that either the Austrian or the Picdmonteso would immediately rros the Ticino boundary. In a brief fortnight Charles Albert has fought and has been conquered, and is now an abdicated King nnd txile in Madrid or Lisbon. The Austrian passed tho Tuiuo simultaneously with the Piedinontese, who speedily fell back. Three successive battles ensued. In the two latter, on the plains of Vereelli, the Austrian were completely victorious. The hut battle on the iiltli ult., the main iiimy of the Austrian, some fit) ,000 strong, encountered Charles Albert nt Olaugo, near Nevnra. The 1'iediiinniHM! appeared to have been of more than equal force. The battle was fought with terrible obstinacy, and although wo hear from many quarters that the Italian shrunk tho contest, certain "it I that Charles Albert behaved with the most distinguished biavery. Finding thu day going against him, h seems to have sought every opportunity to meet hi death on the battle field, and whatever may be the verdict of history in to U'u past conduct, certain it is that nothing graced his public, life i) much as the last art, and Iiis quilling it. The Austrian having couiplt lely routed ihe I'lfdinoiitese. and driven them to the mountains, Charles Albert abdicated the throne in favor of his son, Victor I'lnanuel, nnd a llag of I truce being sent to tho Austrian tent, Marshal Ladet.ky j at once acceded to an armistice. Tho new King pledges himself to conclude a treaty ot peace, to disband ten military companies of Hung mans, Poles, and Lombards. The Austrian who hold Turm open to them, nngnatumouslv for. bore to take advantage which might have j provoked the susceptibility of I'rnnce. The consequences of ibis important Initio are scarcely f vet developed in th d liferent parts ot Italy.

A bill of similar character was reported, some time since, in the Pennsylvania Legislature, but has not yet been acted upon.
Col. Fremont and his Party---Further and Final Accounts. The <Intelligencer> of the l6th, publishes extracts from the remaining and final letters of Col. Fremont;; also a prefatory description of the localities made memorable by disasters, of all which we give a connected digest or nsmmary, as promised. And first as to the description of the localities: The great Rocky Mountain chain, with a general direction north and south, sends out a branch towards
the south east from between the heads of the Arkansas in-ill wtf'WII 111 IK IU ft1(i ,he io M yorl. ai:d this branch is the dividing ridge between the upper valleys of the two rivers, and also beiwrtn the head waters of the Red River and the l)d X, te. The high-st part of this branch chain nnd the prominent object of travellers, are the Spanish Peaks made known by Lieut, lhke they are seen at a great distance, and are guiding objects to travellers, being in north latitude H7 degrees, and west longitude from London ID") degrees. The road to Santa Fe is about two degrees south of these Peaks. Col. Fremont passed above them, and entered the valley of the Drt Sorte, high up above the Mexican settlements, and above Pikes stockade, intending to follow the Ihl Sorte to its head, nnd cm.ss 1 he Rocky .Mountain chain through some ps there to be found. It was this point the head of the Del Norte where no traveller had before gene, that Fremont intended to pass, to survey his lat line across the continent, complete his knowledge of the county between the Mississippi and the Pacific, nnd crown the labors of long explorations by showing the country to be inhabitable by civilized people, nnd practicable for a great road and that on several line and which was the best. Seven years be had been engaged in this gieat labor and wished to complele it. It will be remembered that it wns the beginning of December he crossed the chain from Arkansas Valley into the Del Norte, and although late, the old hunters nnd traders, including the guide Ihne engaged, had no doubt of his ability to pass through. With supplies of all kinds to carry his party to California, nnd grain to carry all the animals across the mountains into the valleys of the tributaries of tho great Cidora do of the West, where gnnwu would be liyht, wood and gras abundant, and the hardships of the expedition surmounted. In two weeks he expected to lie in these mild valleys but the guide spent two weeks in getting to the head of the Del Norte a distance which should have required only four or five day?. This is i-tat cd us the caue of the first calamity the loss of th'' horsts and mulm. The same guide spent twenty-two days, when sent with the party of relief, in making the distance which Col. Fremont, with (todey, Preuss and servant, without a guide, on foot, 'in cold wenthtr, deeper snows and half-famished, made in six days. This is stated to ho the en use of the second und irreparable calamity the death of th. uun. The immediate scene of sutlering in this great din?ter where the accent of the mountain was forced and its summit scaled, must have been in north latij ttide tW nnd went longitude from Loudon 107, nt nn elevation above l'J.CUO fett, and at the time ef dead winter Christmas !

Tim Ktate of the party became desperate, nnd Haler revived to brenk up nnd ncatter, in order to prevent them from living upon each otto r. He told them the best plan was to separate, each making liit way down the river an be st he could ; that lor himself, if he was to ho eaten, he would at nil costs be found travelling when bo did die. They accordingly separated. With Haler thero continued (Ivo others Scott, Hubbard, Martin, Hacon, one other and two Indian boy?.

They built him a fire nnd gathered him some wood, nnd then lefi him, with out turning their heads to look nt him as thpy went off. Two miles further on, Scott (who used to shoot birds f.-r .Mrs Fremont) gave out. The survivors did lor him as they had done for Hubbard and paused on. In Ihe nfternoon the two Indian boys went abend, nnd met Godey with the relief. Signal guns wrre fired. Haler knew the crack of th rifles, and that relief had ccme. The next morning Godey met Haler and tho wreck of his party, and they nil cried together like children. Aller dealing out provisions, ihn relief party with Haler turned back in seach of the living and dead, scattered in the. rear. They came to Scott first, and he was yet alive rfnd saved next to Hubbard; he was dead, but still warm. These were nil of Ilaler's party left behind.
