despatch.JAMES POTTS.Oct.1, 1855.\t263 SPECIAL NOTICES.Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh, AND other affections of the LUNGS and CHEST, cured by INHALATION, local and general treatment.Inhalation alone will fail to cure most of these diseases, but in connec-with proper general remedies, under Dr.HEATH\u2019S direction, it is highly curative in these, heretofore, incurable affections.Dr.Heath is frequently applied to by persons who have neither been relieved by Inhalation, nor benefitted by shoulder-braces, nor inhaling tubes.The fact is that inhalation is only an auxiliary, and that those \u201c Traps\u201d are absolutely injurious.As a proof of the success attending Dr.Heath\u2019s combined treatment, we refer to the subjoined\u2014 a few only of a large number of letters :\u2014 423 Broadway, New York, Sept.8, 1855.Deak Doctoe :\u2014Although not indebted to you pecuniarily, I am under obligations of gratitude which I do not expect to be able to pay for your skill in curing me of a Bronchial affection, some three years ago, which had troubled me for a number of years, and which would not yield to caustic applications, gargles or washes.Notwithstanding my profession requires the almost constant use of my vocal organs, the cure is permanent.If you think this will he of any service to yourself or the public, you will please use it in any manner to attain it.You will, no doubt, remember two or three of my friends were also cured by yon.\tMARCUS COLBURN.Nervous, Chronic, Scrofulous, and affections of the Generative system, tax the constitution to such an extent as to render it liable to take no Tuberculous and other Chronic forms of disease in both sexes.Those afflicted with any of these diseases can apply with a certainty of relief to Dr.HEATH, No.850 Broadway, New York, from 9jA.M.to 4 P.M., Sundays excepted.Patients at a distance may be treated or advised by letter on stating their cases fully.Who is Dr.Heath ?For the information and satisfaction of those who perchance do not know, we refer them to an interesting editorial which appeared in the New York Day Book two weeks since, and which has been extensively copied in the leading papers of that city, and pretty generally in the country papers.We will let others answer this question, lest our readers who have not read the above-named article, entitled \u201c The Character and Men of New York, the Metropolis of North America,\u201d should complain of our neglect to publish it also.I have known Dr.Heath for ten or twelve years, during which time he has assiduously devoted himself to the study and treatment of Chronic Diseases, Genito-urinary, Nervous and Constitutional Affections, Diseases of the Ear and Eye, but especially in treating Consumption and Sections ot the Chest with flattering success.J.K.SNELL M.D., Green Point, Brooklyn.Having seen numerous affidavits of cures per-red by Dr.Heath, of No.850 Broadway, we onasure in recommending him to the afflict-'vocate and Register, Rahway, N./.ost cheerfully recommend Dr.Heath to an 1 public, as a professional friend of ttainments, and of eminent success in tts of

and the absence of bombastic self-gratulation, which we too often find in these annual summaries of national affairs, is well worthy of remark.It were well if the moral tone of the message were as excellent as its literary style.Rut here we notice a confusion in ideas very different from the clearness of the language which the writer employs.We do not impute this confusion to the intellectual defect of the person or persons who draughted the message.They have had two or three bad causes to defend, and in order to do so they have with great skill brought forward sophistries, in such a manner as to make them pass for truths candidly, though firmly, expressed.We see this in that portion of the message which relates to the Nicaragua difficulty with Great Britain The President admits that the general wording of the treaty between the two countries, by which both are debarred from colonization in Central America, gave rise to some exceptions not particularly specified in the agreement, since he mentions that there was a supplemental correspondence, recognizing tho right of Great Britain to retain the Balize.Upon what rule of construction, then, is the sense of the agreement to be determined ?Great Britain proposes to read it, like all compacts not distinctly referring to the past, with respect to the future only.She says that all her political rights acquired before the treaty are to be maintained under it.The true question appears to be, what did Great Britain fairly hold at the time of the treaty ?This the President overlooks; and taking it for granted that all British establishments except the Balize\u2014the Balize, too, restricted to his own ideas of its geographical boundaries\u2014were excluded from Central America, he concludes that Great Britain has violated her engagements by refusing to give up her Protectorate of the Mosquito coast.Here the true point of discussion is kept out of sight.With regard to the other subjects of dispute with Great Britain, the recruitment for the Foreign Legion and the Hudson Bay territory, we do not know that there is much to complain of.Tho British Government has admitted its error with respect to the first point, and must, we presume, submit, like other bodies when in the wrong, to some kind of apology.As to the second, the President proposes an arrangement, which will no doubt be satisfactory to all parties.Throughout tho discussion on this subject there is great temperance of language, and a studious avoidance of that kind of braggadocio, which has occasionally deformed tho messages of Presidents in other times of international difficulty.The most remarkable part of the message is that which relates to the slavery question.Here the New Hampshire President puts himself before the world in the light of the avowed champion of the slave power; and here, too, by a sophistical account of the American constitution he converts the great principle of the right of each State to the control of its domestic institutions and laws into a rule by virtue of which Southern slavery is to be virtually introduced in Northern Slates, andjthe great safeguards of personal freedom, such as the habeas corpus act, are to be in them set aside.Tho abolitionists as they are called have never yet proposed any law which can interfere with tho slave institution in Slave States.Northern constables are not found in Virginia nor Maryland in conflict with the State authorities.No law made in Northern interests ia supported by calling in United States marshals to enforce it, in Louisiana or Alabama.It is the slave interest which insists upon neutralizing the laws of the Free States ; not the abolition principle which invades by legislative provision and national force the territory which inhumanity and oppression have marked out for their own.Yet, though every few months wo hear of disturbances in Boston or some other Northern city, arising from a foray of Slave State authorities, hacked by United States officers, and tried before United States judges, in contempt of State rights, the President coolly asserts that history has shown that the aggressions on the tranquillity of the country have always come from the advocates of freedom.As we understand the compact originally made between the States, the idea mutually adopted was this, that each party should be, in its own boundaries, free from the control of the other.But, even from the first, a special privilege was granted to the South to catch their runaways on Northern soil, if they conld do so by their own exertions.This was an exceptional arrangement at variance with the absolute sov-erignty of each State within her own limits; but this has not coutcuted the slaveholder, and he has, by the Fugitive Slave Law, made the Federal Government intervene in behalf of one set of States, upon the territory of the others._ In Kansas and Nebraska, in the same way, the slave power has trampled on the rights of the inhabitants of the free States.These territories were common property\u2014a vast field for colonization as tho older settlements filled up.The South, by getting Slavery introduced there, has done its best and is still doing so, to deprive tho great mass of the white inhabitants of the United States of their interests in those lands.The countries settled by freemen on tho continent of America have been pre-eminently the inheritance of the labouring man.Everywhere, on free soil, tho penniless from the Eastern States and from all part of Europe have set up their tents, and, in the course of a few years of labour, have become wealthy and honored.But, slave-labour and free-labour cannot co-exist.Besides, the colonization of a slave State is tho work not of poor and energetic men, but of rich men, capable of transporting a very expensive species of stock on to large plantations, which are then to he cleared by a considerable outlay of capita], not by the slower processes of industry.The South has, therefore, filched for its wealthy aristocracy the patrimony of the industrious poor men of the North.The United States Post Office is, we suspect, a very badly managed institution.There is, as usual, a large deficit, and our personal experience, and facts which have come under our observation in the experience of others, lead us to conclude that the mail service-is very inegularly managed.This can hardly fail to be the result of making the Post Office a mere political engine.In other respects the state of tho finances of the Union is very favorable.The President belongs to the sound party of Political Economists.Ho is not deceived by the juggling which deludes some people into the idea that taxation can ever ho anything but a necessary evil, and he, therefore, proposes to take advantage of the surplus in the Treasury to reduce the duties, Gruel : Very.\u2014The Pilot actually insinuates that the Gaceffe\u2019s recent profound articles on politics are not appreciated by the Government, and that this want of discernment on their part has led them to set at its heels a bull-dog, in the shape of tho Kingston Commercial Advertiser.Only think of such a journal being employed for such a purpose.The Pilot even says that the Gazette writes twaddle, and concludes by advising the last named organ to accept the lesson given it through the Kingston paper.This last paragraph is unkind to the last degree.What can be the Pilot\u2019s opinion of his fellow organ Î A Prolific Mother.\u2014We learn from our friend Mr.Fallon, of Ihe late \u201c Penner farm,\u201d Lower Lachine, that he has had a somewhat marvelous increase to his stock, in the shape of a family of Newfoundland puppies, seventeen in number, born yesterday morning.The mother is only twenty months old.Four out of the seventeen died shortly after birth\u2014not, we regret to say, without euspicioa of harsh treatment from their thirteen surviving brothers and sisters.Tua Pet Bank Again.\u2014No act of tho late Ministry was more loudly nor more justly condemned than their conduct in removing all the public accounts to one favored banking institution.It was justly felt that such favoritism not only involved serious financial difficulties to persons engaged iu commerce ; but that it also led to very grave imputations of interested motives on tho part of a finance minister, who would thus prostitute his office to give advantages which must swell the dividend of one institution to the loss of others, to the full as well conducted.Someol the jpresent ministers brought the subject more than once before PaiLament, and after their accession to power, when it was urged on their attention they professed a desire to rectify the wrong.But only yesterday we heard that they had pushed their system further than Mr.Hincks had ever done, and that the accounts of certain judicial officers, for the security of which such officers are responsible, have been withdrawn from other banks and deposited in the Upper Canada Bank, in obedience to a circular from head quarters to that effect.When we reflect that there are Lower Canadian Ministers in the Cabinet, who sometimes profess to be greatly influenced by zeal for their own locality, wo are astonished to hear of such a high-handed act as this.Here are Lower Canadian funds, for which Lower Canadian officers are responsible, which do not enter into the books even of the Government, and they must be taken away from a Lower Canadian Bank to swell the deposit line of the already over-gorged Bank of Upper Canada, and pro Umlo enlarge the accommodation to the customers of that institution, while it diminishes what can be granted to the connections of the eastern Bank.We wonder whether our contemporary the Gazette, which used to have so keen a sense of tho wrongs done by pet-bankingi will bo able to say anything on the present interesting occasion ?Ook Toronto Correspondent.\u2014Our contemporary, the Toronto Mirror, we observe, in reply to our correspondent \u201c of that ilk,\u201d denies the correctness of his information, in reference to the manner in which he alleged, in a recent letter, the departmental advertising was being prostituted, with the view of sustaining the ministerial organa in general, and the Mirror in particular.Our contemporary is not a little wrathy, and calls our friend \u201c malignant,\u201d \u201c lying\u201d and \u201cmair o\u2019 horrible an\u2019 awfu\u201d\u2019 but as he adduces no evidence in support of these bitter words, we trust, he will bo satisfied with our recording his plea of 11 not guilty.\u201d Our correspondent may possibly have something further to say iu support of his charge\u2014nous verrons.The Histrionic Assemblies.\u2014The first of these assemblies was held at the Theatre Royal on Monday night last.It was numerously and fashionably attended, and everything went off with eclat.The dramatic entertainment, with which the evening\u2019s amusements commenced\u2014 the lively and interesting little comedy of \u201c The follies of a night\u201d\u2014was extremely well performed by our amateur friends and the dancing kept up with great spirit, and infinite grace, until an early hour on New-Year\u2019s morning.We have seldom seen a gayer or more beautiful scene than\u2014thanks to Mr.Herbert\u2019s admirable arrangements\u2014our elegant Theatre presented on tho oecssion.The whole house was brilliantly lighted, handsomely decorated, and pleasantly heated ; and a flooring having been erected over the Pit and on a level with the Stage, a splendid Ball-room was obtained\u2014the surrounding boxes producing a peculiarly picturesque and ornate effect.When we say that our friend Prince pio-sided in the orchestra, we give an assurance that the music was all that could he desired.As to the supper arrangements, they might have been, we must confess, more commensurate with the well-earned fame of the artist\u2014however, aliyuan-do cliam dormital bonus Uomerus, and we doubt not, next assembly, our illustrious caterer of tho Place d\u2019Armes will prove himself wide-awake.News Room at Varennes.\u2014Following the example of a great many localities, Varennes has just established a Literary Society, which, under the name of the Varennes News Room, will undertake tho duty of spreading information and instruction among the numerous youth of the village.The following officers were elected on the 20th Deer, last : \u2014P.L.de Martigny, Esquire, President;
