Cenaumptlon. and the Diseases or the Throat and liunirs, Treated by the Inhalation of Medicated Vapors. Dr. W. Hunter, brother of Dr.

Robert Hunter respectfully announces to all those afflicted with diseases of the throat and lungs that he will arrive from New York on Wednesday morning of this week, and that he proposes to remain at the Gait House, for the purpose of allowing his patients to personally consult him, and also others who may wish treatment. The stay of Dr. Hunter being short, it is hoped that his patients will call as early as possible on Wednesday. The subject of inhalation Eg a means of treating thoBB hitherto incurable diseases is now awaking the attention of the whole community. The views of Dr.

Hunter in regard to this new theory are being fully laid before the public, in a lengthened series of letters, published in the New York papers. These articles will be transferred Declension of Major Breckinridge. It will be seen by the following letter that the Hon. John C. Breckinridge declines making a covass for Congress the present year.

To the Editor of the Kentucky Statesman Dear Sir I have observed that the county meetings and the Democratic press of this district have expressed a prefereuce for me as the nominee for Congress, and perhaps I am justified in supposing It to be the desire of my party that I shall again be a candidate For nearly a year I have foreseen that it would not be in my power, at present, to make another canvass, and I should have made this announcement earlier, but that it seemed to mo to be more decoroii3 first to complete the term for which MISCELLANEOUS.

Our fellow-citizens of the First Ward, who don't like Sam," held a jolly meet ing last night, at Howe's offeerhouse, on Jefferson street, between Hancock and Clay. They assembled for the purpose of nominating candidates fsr the Common Couneil and policemen. Preliminary to an organization, there was a fight in the baT-room between a Newfoundland and bull-dog. This having been satisfactorily terminated, the crowd adjourned to a hall above stairs, where Mr.

George Abrams was called to the chair, and John Irvine, appointed Secretary. Mr. Wm. G. Reasor (formerly a Whig member of the Legislature) then arese and offered a series of resolutions, to the enact that the Know-Nothing was a secret and dangerous party organization; that all political virtue was inherent in the Democracy, and that the nominees would be supported.

Mr. John Irvine immediately said They shan't pass, I object to them," aad went on for some minutes. Great noise and confusion ensued, in which Mr. "Wm. Irvine and others participated.

Alittls sparring occurred between the Chairman and ono of the speakers, and a fisticuff settlement out of doors was spoken of. Tho resolutions finally passed; there being a division of the house those in favor standing on one side, and four or five, opposed, on the other. Messrs. AVra. Gray and four otlers were appointed a committee to nominate candidates.

While they were out a resolution was adepted, recommending Mr. Reasor for City Attorney, and then called on him for a speech, which he made in good style. In the meanwhile Jesee Hammond, present watchman, denied belonging to the K. N's. The following ticket was then reported and ratified, amid great tumult Councilmen George W.

Since Sunday last we seem to have come upon anew winter. The mercury has, for two or three days, been below the freeiing point, although it is past the middle of March, while the sky has been clear and the sun shining so cheerily as to invite people from their comfortable firesides into the chilling air. The weather has the appearance but not the feeling of sprinj. Unexpected and uncomfortable as all this is, it yet brings with it certain compensations. First, we must refleet that such weather gives great promise for the security of the crops; and as the country looks to its next crop for relief from the present stringency of the money market, this is certainly a great compensation for our unwonted discomfort.

Then, the previous rains aad the succeeding winds hve washed and dried our streets until they really look respectable, and this is a second compensation. And finally, th bright sunshine has tempted the ladies to don thir prettiest robes and show themselves in full force and in beautiful array along the crowded pavements. Our very sanctum was invaded this morning by rustling silks, and delicate fingras were busy disarranging our manuscrips and toss ing over our hooks, while from out a heap of delicate curls, a pair of eyes looked laughingly at our dismay. Here is surely compensation enough. So that after all, while we feel obliged to remonstrate with tha elerk of the weather, merely to remind him of his duties at this season of the year, we cannot seriously complain of his treatment, provided, always, he does not continue to forget us until our patience is exhausted.

Old Kentucky ForeverTriumph of the Brinlet Plough. It will be remembered that last fall Mr. Wm. Stringfield, of Shelby county, challenged the world to a ploughing match, in which the eelebrated Brinley plough, made in Simpsonvillo, was pitted against any one of other manufacture or patent. The wager was one thousand dollars, with two hundred and fifty as forfeit.

Mr. A. M. Jemmenson, of Ohio, acsepted the ehallenge, and North Bend, in that State, was solectcd as the placo for the match. Every preparation was made for the encounter, but Mr.

J. having seen and thoroughly examined the Brinley plough, thought it was more advisable to withdraw from the contest than enter wheTe defeat would be a certainty. He accordingly paid over the forfeit, ($250,) and left the field to tho Brinley plough. This is ansther signal triumph for the patent of our friend Brinley. Outrages in Mr.

John Young, of Lexington, was attacked on Monday night by a free negro named Newman Taylor, who drew a pistol and attempted to shoot him. The pistol failed te go off, however, and Taylor was arrest-od. Mr. Hugh McDonald was attacked and severely beaten on Saturday night, by a nogro named Aaron, belonging to Mr. Thomas Beswell.

He made his escape at the time, but was apprehended and lodged in jail on Monday. Giving Away Liquor. It has been decided by Judgo Johnston, that giving away liquor in the bar on the Sabbath day is as much a violation of the restrictive ordinance, as soiling it. You can treat yeur friends at the dinner table, or in a private room, but in a public bar nothing ardent is to be either given away or sold. Ono of the main objects of tha law was the breaking up of sueh assemblages as generally congregate about barrooms in the eity.

Skilful Deiyino. A horse, drawing a bug-gy, in whieh two young men were seated, became very fractious, and when opposite tho Louisville Hotel dashed up Main street at a brcak-neck'rate, running into carriages, wagons and drays. By a FBkilful management of the reins I so horse was into the wholesale establishment of Messrs. Lieberman, where he brought up all safe and sound, among huge piles of boxes of shoes, SciBNTtnc Lectures. The fourth of the series will be delivered this evening at the Medical College.

By Herman Melville. This story, originally published in Putnam's Magazine, is now presented in book form. ke all of this authors productions, it is admirably written and full of interest. The story is of an American soldier and seaman, who was taken prisoner by the British and carried to England. He escaped from his vessel, and his subsequent adventures form the staple of the volume.

Israel passes through various degrees of poverty and wealth, assoeiates now with men of the highest distinction, and now, with his fluttering rags about him, begs for eharity. Sometimes he is closeted with Dr. Franklin, or ax- changes wit with Home Tooke, and then he is found begging shelter a country barn Now he is a laborer the King's Garden, at Kew, and has a familiar talk with His Majesty, then he is standing in the cabin of Paul Jones' ship, engaged in friendly chat with that redoubta ble hero, and next ho is moulding brick in an obscure country town; parading the streets crying "old chairs to mend," or hiding in the sewers of Londen streets, a homeless beggar. Much of the interest of the volumo depends on the character istic sketches of the distinguished men referred to in its pages. Woshinj ton, Franklin, Ethan Allen, Paul Janes, Home Tooke, George III, and many others are more or less strikingly daguer- reotyped.

The volume has claims far beyond the usual popular works of fiction of the day. It equals them in what is faleely called "interest. that is, in the march of the story, and far surpasses them in beauty of style and execution. Indeed, it is almost offering an insult to this author, as well as to our readers, to institute a comparison between his well-written and tasteful volume and the clap-trap and coarseness of those books which a diseased state of sentiment has made popular. The work may be had of Mr.

Ringgold, on Fourth street. Lectdkss on English Literatu-ke fkosc Chaucer to TiNStrsoN. The author of this volume was lost in the ill-fated Arctic. He was known as ono of the most earnest of our scholars, who had done much for American education and American literature, and who gave large and healthy promise for the future. The lectures were prepared for and read to the author's classes in the Pennsylvania University a short time before his death.

Unambitious in their aim and in their style, they will nevertheless be found both pleasant and profitable reading. They are full of the gentle, earnest, healthful and loving spirit that characterizes the true scholar and they cannot fail to impress the young student with the wealth of our English literature, aiid the high and solemn importance of literary culture. Tho volumo is edited by the author's surviving brother, the Hon. "Win. B.

Reed, of Philadelphia, widely known as an eminent lawyer and accomplished scholar. He contributes a few notes in illustration of the ftxt, and a beautiful and touching preface. We cordially thank him for the delight which tho perusal of these lectures has afforded us. The work is for sale at the book-storo of Mr. Hagan, on Main street.

Notes on Duels and Duelling. By Loranzo Sabine. This is a Tespcctable-sized volume of nearly four hundred pages, embracing the history of duels and duelling for a period of about two hundred years. Some three hundred pages of the book are taken up with an alphabetically arranged catalogue of all the principal duels fought in America and Europe, their causes and results, together with some remarks upon them. The remainder of the volume embraces a brief history of the origin and progress of duelling in many countries, the weapons and rules known to the code of honor, reflections upon the practice, and the opinions of many eminent men upon the subject.

The book is a very curious one and well worthy of perusal. It is free from any cant and from any dincourteous condemnation of the practice. The whole subject is reviewed in a calm and gentlemanly spirit, and the book may be pro ductive of much good. It is certainly worthy of examination, if only for tho vast quantity of information brought to light in its pages. We are indebted to Mr.

Maxwell for the copy before ua. Full Proofs of the Ministry, A Sequel to the Boy who was trained up to be a Clergyman. By John N. Norton, A. M.

This, as its title imports, is a sequel to the story of the Boy who was trained up to be a Clergyman. It takes the youna clergyman from his home and plac him among strangers, in a country town, whera he succeeds in re-organizing and building up i church. The story is well written and interesting, especially to our Episcopalian readers. It shows what a man can do by firm resolve and earnest endeavor, even (hough surrounding circumstances are highly discouraging. We recommend it to our readers it may be found at the store of Mr.

"Curiosities of the Census," and "Diet and Dress" in the North British, are perhaps the articles most likely to please the popular taste. The article on "FircB and Fire Insurance" has been extensively copied in our American papers, and is well worth consideration. These reviews can be had at Ringgold's, on Fourth, or at Hagan's on Main street.

There is a very common impression that Patent Medicines, as they are termed, are used only by the poor and the ignorant. But from the following, it appeal's that there is at least one Medicine which has worked its way into high circles, and is being used extensively by "ike upper ten." The following conclusive statement was taken from the editorial columns of the New York "Courier and Enquirer," of Feb. 13th, 1851, edited by Col. James Watson Webb, late United States Charge des'Affaires at Vienna: "Wo carefully keep aloof from Patent Medicines in general, but on the strength of actual personal trial, we cheerfully recommend "Dr. Rogers' Syrup of Liverwort, Tar and Canclmlagua," to all afflicted with Coughs, Colds, or Influenza.

The medical qualities of the first two ingredients are well known; the last is a California plant, whose virtues, w. believe, are not unfamiliar to the medical profession. We have never tried a remedy for a Cold which proved more efficacious in our own case than this preparation." The following is a letter from Major Van Buren, brother of the Ex-President, Martin Van Buren: Kinderhook, Sept. 20tl), 1853. Messrs.

A. L. Scovill Co. Dear Sirs: Having occasion to use an Expectorant and Cough Remedy last winter, I was advised by the Rev. F.

a SPRING and SUMMER MEDICINE, Carter's Spanish Mixture stands pre-eminent above all others. Its singularly efficacious action on the blood; its strengthening and vivifying qualities; its tonic action on the liver; its tendency to drive all humors to the surface, thereby cleansing the system according to Nature's own prescription; its harmless, and, at the same time, extraordinary good effects, and the number of cares testified to by many of the most respectable citizens of Richmond, and elsewhere, must be conclusive evidence that there is no humbug about it.

To my political opponents, I desire to express my acknowledgements for the general fairness and courtesy of their course in conflicts characterised by great excitement. If, like myself, they feel no sting in recurring to the past I am sure we shall jog on together in social life with reciprocal senti ments of good will.

Yours very truly. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE.
