, rates of the charge of the Apothecary General, and of the Gentlemen before named, it appears that there is-often a difference in the prices of these Gentlemen as between themselves, and that, in some instances, their prices exceed those of the Apothecary General ; bit that, on the whole, his prices exceed those of Messrs. Godfrey and Cooke by 41 per cent. and of Messrs. Corbyn and Co. by 18 per cent in the year 1804 ; and in 1805 they exceed the first by i 7, and the second by 19 per cent. Some explanation, how ever, is necessary in this place : it is well known that the prices which merchants and tradesmen charge for the articles they furnish are, in a great measure, re gulated by the epiantity furnished, by the credit which is given, and by the risk of payment ;-.--and, without a coi siteration of these circumstances, no ce mparison can be justly made. In the present case, we learn from Mr. Cooke, the partner of Mr. Goal frey, that his prices are fixed on the principle of his customer being a merchant buying largely, and at s'l• months credit : 4 , Was the credit," he says, ~ to be extended to twelve months in addition (or eighteen months altogether) he would have added about 101 per cent. to his prices." In comparing, therefore,l Messrs. Godfrey and Cooke's prices with the Apo thecary General's, 101. per cent. ought to be added to the former ; for the Apothecary General's bills were seldom paid sooner than eighteen months, and sometimes not until two years atter the supply was made. With respect to Messrs. Corbyn and Co.'s prices, it is to be understood that, in fixing them, they have proceeded on' the principle of the articles being furnished to apothecaries, to a hom they give twelve months credit but they look on the risk, it seems, in this case, to be considerable, and they have taken it accordingly into their valuation. They have also calculated their prices on the small quantities of medicines usually furnished to apothecaries, but if such large quantities were furnished, as were described to be furnished in a year by the Apothecary Gene ral, Mr. Messer (of Messrs. Corbyn's house) thought that Messrs. Corbyn's prkes should be reduced ten per cent. on drugs, and twenty per cent. on chemi cal preparations ; and, were the payment delayed for eighteen months or two years, Mr. Messer says, taking into consideration the quantity of supply with certainty of payment, that he still thinks the prices which his house had affixed to the hills ought to satisfy any person." On the whole, therefore, st e may consider, that the prices of Messrs. Godfrey and Cooke-, and of Messrs. Corbyn' and Co. under the circumstances of a wholesale supply and eighteen months credit, without risk, would not have mat,:ri ally diffeied from each other. But these are the cir cumstances under which the Apothecary General has furnished Medicines, Sec. to the Army, and these prices are about one-fifth higher than those which we have last considered. We observe, on an inspection of the medicine hills of the Ordnance and Transport Boards, for the years 1804 and 1805, that the prices of Some of the more valuable articles, unlike what we had observed in the Apothecary General's vary frequently in the course of the same year. Thit circumstance, at the same time that it proved the inefficacy of the check on his prices, made it difficult for us to com pare there with those charges to the two boards.— We have extracted the prices, however, of some of the articles most commonly in use, from his bill fo: the month of July in the year 1805, and the prices for the same kind of articles charged to the Ordnance Board by Messrs. Bush and Howard, and to the Transport Board by the Apothecaries Company in the same year and month, and we have arranged them in separate columns. This arrangement shews that the prices of the Apothecary General do not much exceed those of the Apothecaries Company, but that they exceed those of hlessis. rush and How ard nearly sixty per cent. It must not be overlook ed, however, that the bills of the Apothecaries Com pany are delivered in quarterly to the Transport Board, and, alter having been examined, are paid by ninety days bills, but without interest. Such a difference in the time of payment may sufficiently account, perhaps, for the Apothecary -General's excess of charge beyond the Apothecaries Company. —The Ordnance Medicine bills are also made out quarterly, and, after being certified by the Sur geon General belonging to that Department, are sent to the Surveyor General's Office, and are dis charged in course. in this case too, 'therefore, an addition ought to be made to the prices, in order to make a correct comparison between them and those of the Apothecary General ; but this addition must be Much less than sixty per cent. The result Of this coarse of inquiry would shew, if the Prices of the Apothecaries Company are to be the criterion by which to examine the Apothecary- General's bills, that the prices which have been al lowed him are not very improper. But ought these prices alone tee have guided those whose ditty it has been to examine his accounts ? Had the prices of the most eminent of the trade been also resorted to, for the purpose of checking the account, it would have appeared that, even taking into consideration the de lay of payment, the prices of the Apothecary Gene ral have exceeded, by one fifth at least., what should have been allowed him. have made a real lose.ps Omen/Mit - of twenty per -cent. Mr. Gamier subjoined a statement of what he then (1797) charged for each set of instruments 'called capitals, and what would have been the charge if the plan had been adopted. In this he states, that his charge was seventeen pounds seventeen shillings per set ; but that if bought on an annual credit, the charge to him would be nineteen pounds nine shil lings, to which adding ten per cent. Conimission,• the whole price would be twenty-one pounds eight shillings, or a loss to Government of three pounds.. eleven shillings, i. e. twenty per cent. It is manifest, on a view of this statement, that it cannot be correct, for it assumes the point in ques tion, and proceeds on the supposition that the instru ments could not have been procured' by Mr. Garnier , at less than ten per cent. above the price which, even under the circumstance of the long delay in payment, was charged by him to Government. That which we are about to state will spew, that he was altoge ther mistaken in his representation on this point.— For - we have examined Mr. Evans, one of the trades men to whom Mr. Gamier alludes,-on the subject. We selected Mr. Evans, because it appeared that his house has furnished surgical instruments to the Navy Hospitals, under the orders of the Transport Board, for a considerable number of years. We have con fined our inqniries relative to Mr. Evans's prices to the period subsequent to 1802, because by a prior re gulation, the instruments which are to constitute what are called full sets of capitals and portable sets of capitals, are particularly enumerated ; and therefore when Mr. Evans speaks of these different CoNctions, it is evident thathe speaks of the same as are charged' in the Apothecary General's bills by those names. In these bills for the year 1804 and 180.5, we - find that the charge for full sets is always nineteen pounds nine teen shillings each, and thirteen pounds five shillings for each set of portables. During this period, Mr. Evans has charged sixteen pounds sixteen shillings for the first, and nine pounds nine shillings for the second, including in both the price of • the cases.—, These are Mr. Evans's prices, however, when these articles were sold on the usual credit ; and: therefore it may be remarked that they can be no fit criterion by which to judge of the Apothecary-General's prices, for that he was seldom paid under eighteen months, and sometimes not until two years after the supply. To meet this objection, Mr: Evans was asked what would have been kis prices under such a circumstance ? but adding to the question at the same time (what was the fact in respect of the Apo. thecary General), that the supply of Surgical Instru ments in each year had amounted, on an. average, to seven thousand pounds, with no ultimate risk of payment. His answer shews, that under all these circumstances, he would not only not have added to the prices before named by him, but that he 'would have deducted firm the total amount "certainly not less than 5 per ant." This, thcr.fore,ought to have been the principle on which the Apothecary General should have made his chart es ; for it. is the rule of charging between the tradesman and the consumer for which he contends. His charge, however, for a full set of Capitals, is about 19 per cent. above Mr. Evans's, and 40 per cent. abc.ve Mr. Evans's charge for a set of Portables : and these prices have been al lowed (as it should seem, without enquiry) by these whose duty it was to check the charge. We have learned another fact from Mr. Evans de serving of attention, also, on a view of the prices which have been charged, a-A allowed, in the Apo thecary General's bills. The screw Tourniquets, for which the Apothecary General always charges twelve shillings and sixpence each, are sold singly by Mr. Evans at ten shillings and sixpence, and under a sort of contract with the Transport Board, are supplied by him to the Navy at eight shillings each ; being an addition to Mr. Evans's prices of above 50 per cent. by the Apothecary General, as a compensation for an extension eferedit of fifteen or eighteen months. The evidence which we have thus produced shews, we think, a very blameable inattention in checking the Apothecary General's charges in respect of Sur gical Instruments ; for the slightest enquiries would have enabled those to whose consideration the prices were; referred, to have ascertained that the charges were ertt avagant. The total charge for instruments from the begin ning of 1796 to the end of 1806, or for eleven years, amounts to seventy-two thousand nine hundred and nineteen pounds four shillings and eight pence, or nearly seven thousand pounds per annum on an ave. rage. When it is known that the-Regimental Sur. geons have always found their own instruments, the propriety of directing so large an additional supply for the use of the army may well be questioned. The statement, which we shall give hereafter of the quan- , tity now in store, will evince, we think, that there has been a very great disregard to the public interest in making such a provision. The Apothecary General's bills for 1804 and 1805 include large charges for sugar, pearl barley, oat meal, paper, sheets, bottles, packing-cases, &c.— ; Many of these articles are not usually provided by Apothecaries, and therefore it may be imagined, that neither the Physician General nor Surgeon General can be 'very competent to judge of the propriety of the prices charged for them. Had they enquired, the • We hive already noticed, that the subject of the' however, into , matter, they would have - found, supply of Surgical Instruments for the use of the 'Perhaps, as we have found, that even admitting an Army, by the Apothecary-General, had heretofore. extra-charge on account of the delay of payments, the been under the consideration of the Lords of the prices charged are improperly great.

The market price fcir Oatmeal in 1801, as is to be seen in the returns, fluctuated between se venteen and twenty-three shillings, and averaged dur ing the twelve months nineteen shillings , and for Scotch barley, between fourteen and twenty-two 1 shillings, and averaged during the same period eigh , teen shillings ; yet the first article is charged by the Apothecary General, throughout the year, at twenty six shillings per cwt. and the second at twenty-seven. shillings per cwt. The tbtal of the charges for this description of articles makes• comparatively but a small part, certainly, of the certified amount of the Apothecary General's bills ; yet it confirms our opi nion of the inefficiency of the check on his charges, and of the great loss which the public has sustained tiom a loose observance of the order of the Treasury directing the Physician General and Surgeon Gene ral, in considering the justness of his prices, to pay attention to the delay of payment to him. (To be continued.) About a fortnight ago, a Farmer in Tough, in Aberdeenshire, one of the people called Quakers, having renounced that faith, was baptized, with five of his children, by the established Clergyman of that parish. Tuesday a servant maid in St. James's-Park, en trusted with the care of two children, incautiously suffered a little boy to ride upon the back of one of the seats, when a cloud of dust suddenly blowing in the child's face, he let go has hold to rub his eye, and falling backwards, pitched upon his head, and fractured his skull. This is a very common way of amusing children in the Park, and it is to be hoped the above accident will prevent it in future. A few days since as some children were gathering primroses and violets, on a sunny bank in the parish of Waiburton, near Arundel, oue of them, the son cf Mr. Randal, was bitten nu his arm, by an adder, the if,!aom of which caused such a violent swelling and inflamation, that the poor child's life was considered iu imminent danger.
