; , tr- of the Corporation of Richmond
and society, has Ions: bafiled the innenuitv
ol the cunninrr ai,a lhe learillng of lhe wise, in a search after its true cause, and a discovery of an effectual mode of curing it. In the last thirty years, various systems, both in Lurone and America, have been adopted for ti.e relief of this distressing habit; some of which, in their application, have been partially successful: hut, as the true causes of stammering had not been developed, it cannot be a matter of surprize, that those systems, not being founded upon the knowledge of those causes, should all have failed of complete success. Indeed, it is a truth, that, till Mrs. Leigh's discovery, the farthest point arrived at, in th removal of this afflicting habit, was, to enable the unfortunate suilerers under it
j while immediately under the direction of
the teacher, or while perfectly cool and collected, to speak without hesitation, and without stammering; but the moment they emerged from the care of the teacher, and aain became engaged in the acit-
atmg ai.irs of the world, and subject to I the passions and feelings w hich ii lluei.ee men in the common business of life, they forgot their discipline, and soon relapsed into habits of stammering as inveterate as ; before. Hence has arisen the belief, late Uo prevalent, that a confirmed habit of stammering was incurable; a belief, which !in too many cases has plunged its unhap jpy votaries into hopeless despondence. "Fortunately, however, the discovery by Mrs. Leigh of the true causes ofstammer- ( ing, having enabled her to form a "New
to ;i System" of curing it a system which, in
every case to which it has been applied, h.ts been attended with complete success ; the public are warranted in a convic-
(iiferciit !j lion, that the belief hitherto so generally
i; f according to the proviuons oi'the law on ! entertained, of the ii curable quality of -.?; I tills habit, is entirely illusory."

by persons who have the welfare of man-
I kind at heart, to awaken the public atteiij tion, and exercise tbe public mind upon J this subject. Many plans have been proposed with the view of totally abolishing the slave system, as the only means of preventing a state of things that must destroy the peace and prosperity of the nations, i
which it is tolerated. liut the advocates of this measure have difficulties of the most
productions of slave labor, and encourage those who may produce the staple commodities of slave-holding countries by free hands. JJ Although much good has been dens bv the friends of humanity for a portion of our fellow men, who have had unjustly to dunk of the bitter cup of slavery,still much more remains to be done. There are at
this tune, several millions ofhuman beings, in our own and other countries, who are held in bondage, and must continue to gro.m under the tyrant's yoke, while the hopeless sigh for liberty is heaved in vain, unless the philantrophic and the truly concientious shall put forth their peaceful, but effective energies, in their behalf. While
the love of money prevails over that of
justice and humanity, but little can be hoped for through the medium of argument. While we continue to purchase and con
sume the labor of slaves, the cupidity of
tiieir owners will be nourished, and their chains more (irmly rivetted. In order," therefore, to lessen the inducements for the continuance of this unhallowed practice; first, by aiding the philanthropic iu effecting their wishes, as aforesaid, whereby the attention of many more may be drawn towards the subject; and secondly, by assisting to facilitate the making of experiments that may have a tendency to throw light upon it; we, the undersigned, have opened a mercantile house in the city of Baltimore, for the purchased sale,on commission of the products of free labor in general,(particularly in the grocery line,)with the exception ofspiiitous liquors. The business of the firm wilbe
i transacted in the name of M. Lamb &, Lundv: and from the arrangements which we
have made and are making, together with a studied and careful attention to the orders of our friends nnd the promotion of their interests, we hope to be able to give
! general satisfaction. We shall strictly ! confine our dealing to commodities which j are the production of free labor, as aforesaid, and shall endeavor to keep constantj 1 v on hand a general assortment of articles jof that description, to dispose of by wholt1 sale or retail. Farmers, Planters, and Merchants, 5 j the United States and elsewhere, v ! may be disposed to make consignments ' j our care, may depend on having their I j siuess promptly and faithfully transacts ' ! And all, willing to patronize such an t tablishment, are hereby assured that tl utmost care will be taken to guard agaii. deception in the articles offered by us (es : bale. Having taken a commodious w house in a central part of the city, and be
ing determined to use every exertion to accommodate such as may favor us with custom, we shall confidently look forward with the hope of success in our underta
king.
Persons at a distance who may desire t correspond with on business of a ccm-
I mercial nature, will please to direct their I communications to M. Lamb & Lukdv, No. 01, South Calvert Streeet, Baltimore.

Salt.- The principal export of the Kenhawa country is salt. Near a million of bushels are said to be annually manufactured. It is stated that some years ago it was worth nearly a dollar per bushel: but, owing to the division of the property and increase of the competition, it is now selling at the low price of from 12 to 18 cents per bushel in barrels.
