This Act affords protection to the public in the least objectionable 1113111 W, because it etiab:cs eery one to discriminate between the competent and incompetent, and leaves the question of remuneration of services eX. actly as it stood before. Nor does h prevent persons who hold a dipl front the C:ollege of So:geniis, or a certificate of ability front the Examiners of the Apothe caries' Comp Any, Isom keeping Retail shops. end attend ing to the busioess or trade of a druggist, although it cer tainly does prevent those who keep shops (nut being surgeons or apothecatier) front officiously meddling with that wl►teh they cannot understand. This law %%qs expected kollead to progressive improve ment. The duties of apothecatics had not been clearly delisted prior to its enactment ; and it was considered better to leave all the mactitioners of the present time in the undisputed possession of their occupation, than to he very rigid ; al.d mine expedient to hazard occasional injury to the instill: by pretenders, thou to incur a more extensive oppositmn by the immediate enforcement of a meastne of obvious utility, in suddenly ehecking their career. It never 'entered into the contemplation of the framers of the act to subject IIIIINIMS or charitable prs,utss to penalty dor the temporary exercise of any such musical ditty as bleeding, tooth-thawing, .applying a plaster, dressing a wound, or pet forming ally other act which die let:hugs of humanity may dictate, or the urgency of the occasion demand; a Was only against tile baneful edicts of an intertau•d misapplication of remedies that the promoters of the act esidvavoured to sliivld the pub lic. All those whn were iii business as druggists before Aug. 181.5, may act as apothecaries and riot patients at iireir own homes. but ettre man of principle will ab stain limn thee:tempt to exercise that for wli:cli he is not qualified, where the lines of his fellow•creatures, and often of his dearest liiends, are at stake ; and those who are not so actuated will frequently inert with a suitable punishment in the loss of character 511.1 O. ca-' siontl actions tor damages which they will ineur.by the increasing intelligence of the public in these attain.

COVFNTRY.—This city has set an example worthy of being followed. From the state of trade the poorer classes were unable to support their families, and in consequence sheaved a disposition towards vi olence. "The Yeomanry Cavalry" were nut turned in among them, to butcher the half starved mal contents. No—the respectable inhabitants called a meeting—promised to advance their prices so as to insure to industry at least an existence, and to fur nish diem with temporary aid, opened a subscrietion which ix now proceeding rapidly, and to which the Corporation has.given 25 guineas, and the Clothier's Company 9.0 guineas. On Monday last the sub scription amounted to nearly 1,011,01.! In consequence of some altercation having tacit place lately at the Dublin Theatre, between the Froprietors and some of the servants, the I ligh Con stable interfered; when he was attacked by a military guard, and driven out of the Theatre. The Lord Mayor attended, and investigated the matter, when the sentinel declared that he had orders to shoot the High Constable if he attempted to exercise autho rity. Sir G. Beckwith was informed of this, and promised to cause a strict inquiry to be made into this singular The guardians of the poor, acting for the town ship of Leeds, .have appointed Mr. Robert Oasticr.
