On Saturday, June 53, the public ceremonies in commemoration of the character and services of Andrew Jackson, took- place according to previous arrangement. In consequence of rain in the morning, many people living at a distance from town were no doubt deterred from attending, who otherwise would Lave done so. As it .was, however, the assemblage was respectable. Tue procession was formed at the

Conrt House, at 10 o'clock, under the direction of

Chief Marshal Blake and his Assistants as near as possible according to the order previously adopted, to-wit: 1. A Band of Music. - . ' 2. Officiating Clergyman and Orator. I 2. . Reverend Clerg of the City. 4. Governor, Ex-Governora. and Officers of State. 5. The Committee of Arrangement. 6. Officers end SoIJier of the Revolution.

t. Officers and Bofdiers v. ho served under den. Jack-

on. 8. Officers and Soldiers of the List War. 9. Judges and officers of the United Slates Court, snd Officers of Government. 10. Judges of the Supreme and Circuit Courts. 11. Members of (he Bar. 12. Members of the General Assembly. IS. President and Common Council and officer. 14. Masonic Fraternity. 15. Independent Older of OJd Fellows. 16. The Male Youth of the city and countiy. 17. Citizens six abreast. 18. Band of Music.

The procession then, to the measure of solemn

music, the firing of minute guns and the tilling of

bell;, proceeded to the Court House square, where ar

rangements had been made for the speakers, and

where the ladies had assembled.

After appropriate music by the Bands, an eloquent

Prayer was offered by the Rev. Sir. Hibben.

A: F: MdRRisoNj Esq., then pronounced a Eulogy

on the life and character of the deceased, which was

marked by great accuracy in matter of fact and his

torical research, and which was listened to with much

pleasure and satisfaction1.

The Eulogist was followed by the Rev. Mr. Gur-

let, of the First Presbyterian Church, who delivered

a short, but very interesting discourse, the basis bf which of which was the benevolent and religious characteristics of the deceased, from which was deduced a most powerful argument as to the necessity, even for the consummation of earthly glory and felicity, of the one thing needful. The speaker was listened to with marked attention. At the conclusion of the sermon, Prayer was offered by the Ilev. Dr. Richmond, änd, after further music by the Bands, the assemblage dispersed, more than ever alive to the great virtues cf the eminent man whose obsequies they had solemnized.

On the Oregon and Texas questions, Mr. W. was

certainly net only able and eloquent ; but such was

his array of facts that those who have heretofore doubted, were fully convinced. In his appeals to the audience as to England's designs, and her piratical policy the consequences of the prevalence of the whig doctrine of allowing Oregon and Texas to fall into the hands of that National Robber, of her past and present policy of wholesale piracy he was more than happy. The hashing eye of the grey headed veteran, the flushed check of thb joung all fold that he had touched a chord which rntt a ready response. On every point he touched, he was clear and cogent producing 'proof and exhibiting testimony, to the

utter confusion of his opponents. His exhibitions of

the inconsistency, contradictions, and British views of

our neighbor Journal, were extremely rich even to nettle those who have long since .transferred their

share of the bantling to other hands.

American Pkoduce goes off in England at a rate gratifying to the farmers in the U. S. Our surplus of Beef and Tdrk, which is shipped to Europe, finds a trood market, and one that is every year increasing in

extent. In the month of April past, liiere were over

three hundred tons of American Cheese sold m one city in England. The duty on lard being high heretofore, has to some extent prevented its exportation ; that duty Icing now remitted in England, W ill open a market f r lard, which will no doubt be productive of beneficial results to the United States ; and as long as the tariff of '42 exists, our imports will most probably be less than our exports, and each year will

Ere finding their way to a large market in England ; he

confesses the true reason for it ; yet fearful cf hav

ing confessed too much for the cause of Whiggery and high taxation, he goes on to give a further reason, directly in the teeth of the first, to account for the same thing. To such straits do false theories always briilg their votaries, i'ig and little. Suppose we had no tariff at all, instead of that of 1342, which the Reveille admires so much, "how weuld its absence prevent the purchase of our provisions by the

English! As to the taiiff of Id 12, it operates against the sale of our products, because it cuts off or

shuts out more or less the means which the foreigners have to pay for them. They Carlnot buy of us unless we buy of them ; the inevitable laws' of trade and currency prevent it.

Her destination is z. matter of speculation. Paragraphs like the above meet our eyes at every turn. It seems to us that an announcement- to the

It was currently rumored that Joe Sikes purchased a large quantity of gunpowder, not less than four ounces, and also lead in proportion, amounting to something like a pound, and without stating his ob jeet, left his family and one little children with nine at the breast, and started northeast.

Astonishing ! how suddenly the President has become known to the Whigs !

Coming Kight. The Greerisburgh Repository, is beginning to show signs of good sense ; and we must certainly attribute it io the recent marriage of the

editor. We hope all Whig editors will get rrarried, as the Democratic editors do, of course. The same thing might be said of the Bloomington editor, to Whom we make our acknowledgments as indebted one. But we only intended to notice the following, as evidence that the Repository is' getting inclined to view matters properly. Speaking of the-Whig candidates for the Senatein Bartholomew and Jennings,' it says: "Rich and Coppersmith are both running on the part of the Whigs. Both of these gentlemen together

A Ilritisll ICc-Xiiion. The Toronto, Canada, Globe, is dreaming of a new-

Utopia, which is to be accomplished one of these

days, by a repudiation of republicanism in the free States, and a re-union with Canida under the auspi

ces of the British crown. Though the " Globe " may be right in supposing that soine of our citizens, un

worthy of the name, Svould rejoice in euch a consummation, most of our people will be incredulous äs tö

its sincerity. The mountain might as well go to

Mahomet, instead of Mahomet to the mountain. But listen to its snge conclusion : " After a Babylonish captivity of severity years toi republicanism, our plan would obliterate the remembrance of. the tea war; in the cordial union of tho Eastern, Northern, and Western States, with the British Possessions, which would form a powerful confederacy under a British Viceroy or Viceroys with free Constitutional governments. We know well that many of the most intluential and intelligent citizens of these States would rejoice in such a deliverance, but the mass of the less enlightened will cling to their present form of government for some time yet.

investigation." This " type " is fever and ague, or intermittent fever. The following are tüe conclusions to which DrDickson arrives on the subject of health and disease. 1. The phenomena of perfect health consists in a regr'ular series of alternate motions or events, each embracing a special period of time. 2. Disease, under all its modifications, is in the first place a simple exaggeration or diminution of the amount of the sane motions or events, and universally alternative with a period of comparative health, ßtrictly resolves itself into fever, remittent or intermitcnt, chronic or acute; every kind of structural disorganization From looth-decay, to pulmonary consumption, and that decomposition of the kriee jcint, familiarly known as white-swelling, being merely developments in its course. Tooth-consumption, lung consumption, knee consumption. 3. The tendency to disorganization, usually denominated acute or inflammatory, differs from the chronic or scrofulous in the mere amount of motion and temperature, the former being more remarkably characterized by excess of both, consequently exhibits a more rapid progress to decomposition of cure ; while the latter approaches its respective termination by more subdued, and therefore slower and less obvious terminations of the same actions and temperature.

In relation to this book we find the following char

acteristic note from Chancellor Kent, in a New York

paper: New York, 26 Union Place

Mr. Kent begs leave to return his thanks to Dr.

Turner for Dickson's "Principle of thd Chrono-Thermal System of Medicine." He has dipped into it verv

superficially, but has read enough svarsim to say that

it contains very interesting views of a science of which Sir. K. professes to be very ignorant, and speaks of it with great diffidence. He is one of that class of personi who never had much faith in physic, and has rarely permitted himself to be subject to its discipline, and has always had great horror at the pernicious practice of blood-letting, ar d prefers cold watet effusion, simple diet, temperance, exercise and cheerfulness to the whole Materia Medica. By this means, and with the blessings of Providence, he has enjoyed uninterrupted health from early life to this

Whitney, upon Air. Curtis Alden, aged about 20 years. The object was the restoration of parts of the face distorted in consequence of a burn some 18 or 19 years since. The deformity had become permanent, and his appearance hideous. The

evelids were lost : consequently tne eyeballs wereH

unprotected, in any degree, by their integuments; and one eye turned permanently upward and outward; the angle of the mouth drawn Upwards, leaving the teeth on that side uncovered. The operation was instituted to restore these displacements, and the success, thus far, is encouraging, promising not only the 44 luxury of winking," but great improvement in his appearance. The operation is thus described : In the first place a circular incision was made,' corresponding in length and in1 its direction with the inverted lid, so far as it could be traced up the parts with which it had become identified ; the cicatrix (or scar) of the burn was then dissected away in such a manner as to form directly over the point upon which.thanew lid is to be placed, a large triangular surface of raw jntegun.ent. Over this, a flap, w hich

I was dissected from th5 cheek on the one hand, and

from the forehead on the o.lher, was turned up with w hat remained of the tarsal cartilege of the eyelids, and made to correspond as well as possible with .the ball of the eye. An incision was then made through this flap just below the edge of the tarsal cartilegej through which the conjuctiva (or the lining membrane of the eye) was seen and drawn through, until the

inverted lid was made to adapt itself to the form of
