OF Tin DAILY NEWS, Sts,—lt appears by the " Medical Times" of the 24th instant that the whole medical body is in a state of alarm at the conviction of a medical practitioner in, Cornwall, who has been sentenced to 10 years' trap sportation for administering savine to a young woman with intent to produce abortion. Every medical man who ad ministers a poison now fancies that he stands a chalice of trans portation,. If such were really tke case, we do not hesitate to say that a great boon would be conferred upon society; but we presume that so long as poisons can be used, or held out as medicines, in order to prop up the guinea-trade, they will continue to figure in the pharmacopoeia, and in the chemist's shop. It is truly lamentable to see even the State lending itself to the countenance of these deadly poisons, rather than that the trade of doctors should suffer ; otherwise, why did they not in clude at least a dozen other poisons in Lord. Carlisle's Bill about appear m re i s that sio n the sale of arsenic ? Was it because the y would not fri ghten the patients ? Revertleg applicationsa to re th to e beeasmertudnedteor consideration,theecr eof tat it S wo e f uld or of the sentence p as sed on Mr. Pascoe, on the gr ound t h at the evi dence given against him by his brother doctor is not worthy of cre dit ! So it is ! This is exactly what we have always said—namely, that let doctors do what they please, they are accountable to no one. As to judge and jury, they are mere automatons in the hands of doctors. And why is all this? Simply because the science of me dicine, as it is called, is a jumble of absurdities and contradictions, having no axed principles ; and which, in the hands of doctors, can be turned and twisted to suit any emergency. This conviction will, we trust, enlighten the public on what we call the "medical liberty of the subject," it will show them the ex tent of the power possessed by the man with the diploma in his pocket. Assuming Pascoe to be innocent (which we do not pretend to say), here is the liberty of a man taken away on the mere ipso dixit:of a common country doctor, although tried before a most acute, learned, and humane judge ; bat himself completely in the hands of the doctor. Now, we ask, should the liberties of Englishmen be placed in such jeopardy ? What miserable exhibitions doctors make of themselves and their calling whenever they come before the courts of law I In the present case we shall find them calling on the Govern ment to annul a sentence because it tends to make them responsible for the administration of poisons. Most likely Pascoe will be pardoned ; it would be a pity that the least check should be given to the poison traffic; the guinea -trade might suffer; some more respectable doc tor might be made answerable and sentenced to ten years' trans portation, which would be highly. unpleasant. We suppose this case was brought before the world quite by mistake. Mr. Moorman, who gave evidence, is catching it right and left from his medical brethren. In conclusion, we have only to repeat that the crime of poisoning, and all other misdeeds arising out of it, will not receive a check until doctors cease from administering poisons as medicines. So long as they, themselves, are at the very bead and front of the offenders, all law and justice mast lie prostrate, and the most guilty party most easily escape. Why do Hygeists plaim the Medical liberty of the subject? Be cauie they do not deal with poisons: If medicine were reduced to what Hygeists contend it should be, such cases as Pascoe's could not occur 'unless the patty really acted feloniously. But, as it is, any doctor may give what poison he pleases, and then say that he gave it "medicinally." And what law, we fearlessly ask, is there to touch him ?

By this short treatise any person of common understanding may at once see why all the deadly poisons now used as medicines can never tend to cure any disease. Also, why all mental diseases shotild be treated like other complaints; and also why such fallacies as mesmerism, electro-blology, hommopathy, can never be of service as' curative agents. As it is most Important that all persons should be fully informed on these questions, the above treatise will be forwarded by post to all persons, on application at the British College Of Health, New-road, London. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—It is scarcely possible to overrate the disas trous, and we fear permanent consequence_ of Lord John Russell's late proceedings to his own reputation, to the party with which he is connected, and to the future prospects of the Liberal cause throughout the country. By one and the same act he has contrived to repudiate with factious effrontery a measure not more objection able than that which he had himself just declared neces sary for the defence of the country; to alienate one por tion of his suppoetors, to humiliate another, and to exasperate them all; to place the Ministry at the head of a triumphant majority on the first important division, though it had just taken office with an acknowledged minority in the House of Commons; to detach from his own following and to, transfer to that of his opponents the very men whose support it was most essential for himself to win or to regain; and to shake the faith of all parties alike in the character and judgment of such a leader. Ina word, Lord. John Russell by his single speech in opposition to the second reading of the Militia Bill has given the severest blow to his reputation and influence which they ever received, and has lost the game ho still pertinaciously affected to play. When he threw down his cards at the commencement of the session, it was easy to perceive that with temper, foresight, and resolution, a skilful player would still have won the rubber. He chose, however, to go out of office, and to continue his campaign in opposition. From that moment he has accumulated every fault on his un happy party. Instead of attempting to re-construct his power on a basis at once Liberal and Conservative, he courted the Radicals, and alarmed his truest friends and the country by threats of organic change. Instead of waiting until the course of events should again point in his direction and invite his influence, he thrust him self forward in every petty dispute, jealous of every rival chief, and hostile to any scheme in which the first part might not be reserved for himself. On the first opportunity which presented itself for a directly adverse movement, instead of magnanimously as sisting the Government to perform a public duty, and endee,vonring if he could to improve the Militia Bill in Committee, he resists the second reading, and only learns by / the majority of 150 votes against him that the party he still professed to lead will not perform actions so base and impolitic at 'his bidding. The minority con sisted of the whole body of Radical Members, who voted on principle against the Miliiia Bill under any form, and who would have voted against Lord John's own Bill, just as they voted against Mr. Walpole's; and to these must be added a portion of the rank and file of the late Ministry, obedient for the last time to Lord John's com mands,• though deeply irritated at the degradation in flitted on them by inconsistency and by . defeat. On the other side, hoWever, men of the first weight and impor tance in the Liberal cause stopped short in this career. Lord Palmerston and his personal', adherents found themselves entirely detached from their former connexions and more nearly allied to the pre sent Government. Lord Shelburne and Sir Charles Lemon, remarkable for their near con nexion with the Marquis of Lansdowne, voted with the Government and against Lord John Russell. Lord Seymour spoke and voted against his late Premier. Mr. Bonham Carter, the seconder of the Whig address last February, and many others separated themselves from their leader; arid the numbers of the minority barely exceeded that of the Chesham-place meeting. It is due to the most eminent and experienced members of the Whig party to express our conviction—we might say our knowledge—that not one of them approved the course Lord John Russell thought fit to take on this occasion. That course was not the result of delibera tion between him• and the persons with whom he wai wont to act; and, if it is to be attributed teethe clandes tine influence of a domestic cabal, the anthors cf such advice are fitly punished by the loss of his influence and the injury to his reputation. It would be difficult to meet with a friend or adherent of the late Government, gifted with ordinary penetration, who did not foresee that such a course • was f raug h t with irreparable mis chief to themselves; and, though the amount of the ma jority far surpassed all calculation, it proved beyond dispute that th e p ar t y was l ess blind than the statesman they had the misfortune to trust. For ourselves, adhering to the opinion we have long ago expressed, we confess that even the magnitude of this blunder does not take us entirely by surprise. Yet the quality upon which Lord John seemed principally to rest his claims to be considered a great statesman was his profound knowledge of Parliamentary tactics and his consummate ability in the heat of Parliamen tary battles. Whatever his former merits may have been in this respect, he seems now to have fought his Waterloo, and, that not on the winning side. Men arrive at the same conclusions by slow degrees and by different paths, and if it be true that the singular disasters the Liberal party has of late undergone (whilst its prin ciples are still so much in the ascendant that even their adversaries do them homage) are mainly dee to the pre sumption and inefficiency of its chief, we may safely leave it to the course of events to determine the true value of Lord John Russell's leadership. We thought it certainly neither a wise nor hopeful policy to continue to in trust the interests of the Liberal cause in this country to the identical chief who had brought them while in power to their present condition, and who had never boon induced to make the slightest sacrifice of his own conse quence or opinions to the public welfare. Nevertheless, that experiment has been confidingly made, and it has led to the anticipated result. The party was first weak ened while in office by an invincible repugnance to lop off and renew whatever was feeble or worn out. It was then thrown out of office by a freak, caused probably by a sense of inability to meet the consequences of former rash engagements. It has now been divided, and we must say in part disgraced, by an act so inconsistent and unpatriotic that we can find scarce any parallel for it in our Parliamentary annals. Reasoning from these known facts, are we not justified in asserting that the author of such mistakes and failures is not the Minister who will ever restore union to a great party or confidence tuothecountry atlarge ? A.slong as that influence is suffered , atnhde will t rupel powerful ux hnerdaPY to predominate over the principles of its late ad seveernT;l' are confident that it will fail to combine have ceased to trust.

But a voto like that of Monday fatal to such hopes. We seldom, false move to which more lasting conse quences may be directly attributed. The only asva u- tago we can extract from it is the hope that it may open the eyes of Lord John Russell's supporters to their teal position, and that even his tenacity of power will not be suffered to perpetuate the distress and perplexity in :11 he has placed them.

" Their Lordships will deeply deplore the fate of these devoted missionaries; , but this lesson of experience will have its effect.

"Sir,—ln compliance with orders from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated October 25, 1851, directing me to ascertain the fate of Captain Gar diner and his missionary party in Tierra del Fuego, on my way to the Pacific, it is my melancholy duty to re port, for their Lordships' information, that the whole party have perished by starvation. "Having received information from the Rev. G. P. Despard, of Redland, Bristol, honorary secretary to the Patagonian Missionary Society, I learnt that the party, consisting of Captain Allen Gardiner, R.N., superin tendent; Mr. Williams, surgeon and catechist; Mr. Maidment, catechist; John Erwin, carpenter; John Badcock, John Bryant, and John Pearce, Cornish fisher men, left England in_ September, 1850. in the barque Ocean Queen; also learnt that stores had been forwarded to them in June last tag the Falkland Islands; and should the party be unable to maintain their position at Picton Island, Beagle Channel, being provided with par tially-decked launches, that they would fall back on Sta ten Island. Having called at the Falkland Islands, and embarked these stores, consisting of 30 casks, caws, sce., I sailed thence on the 6th of January, 1852, and stood along the north coast of Staten Island with large ensigns flying at the mastheads to attract attention, and fired shot ted guns into the mouths of St. John's Harbour, Cook's Harbour, and New Year's Harbour, and, observing a flagstaff erected with a flag on it in Near Year's Island, I came to anchor under it at eight o'clock on Sunday evening, the 11th of January. The next morn ing, January the 12th, I sent Lieutenant Gaussen in the cutter to ascertain the cause, and went myself at the same time into New Year's Harbour, and found a ship's longboat lying hauled up on the beach, with Aladin Apenrade' on her stern. She was fitted with oars cut from trees on the spot. By a tally left on the beach, I found the schooner J. E. Davidson, of New York, W. H. Smyly master, had called here on the 16th of October, 1851, on her way to Picton Island to relieve the mis sionaries. I returned to the ship at the same time as Lieutenant Gaussen, who reported that pieces of wreck were on the island, but, excepting the flag which he brought on board, there were no indications of how or where any vessel could have been lost. It blew a per fect hurricane that night off the land; and, being unable to heave the ship up to her anchor, I fully expected to be blown off with the loss of anchor and cable; but the ship held on with 90 fathoms of chain in 22 fathoms of water. "I sailed the next day, but could not attempt the Straits of Le Maire, as it still blew fresh from the south ward. Having passed Cape St. John, I stood along the south coast of Staten Island, and got a good view of Port Vancouver, the only harbour on the south side of Staten Island, and, seeing no signs of the party being there, I made direct for Picton Island till the 17th, when, the weather proving very thick and hazy, with squally baffling winds, I was compelled to bear up, and stood along the east and south coast of New Island, getting a good view of Richmond-roads. I endeavoured to beat up to Picton Island through Goree-roads, and got well up, so, as to open the Beagle Channel, when, the wind failing and a current setting to the southward, I bore up and anchored in Gores-roads for the night. " The next day, Jan. 18, it blew a heavy gale from the southward, but the ship rode well with two anchors ahead and 100 fathoms of chain. " Jan. 19—The wind having moderated in the night and shifted to the northward, I weighed at four in the morning, and beat up through Goree-roads and stood along the south-west coast of Picton Island, and, passing Cape Maria, beat up the north-east coast of the island. The wind again falling light, it was late before we could tow the ship to her berth in a cove formed by an inlet on the coast, called by Captain Gardiner Banner Cove,' and the scene of his early troubles. " The following day, January 20, was devoted to scouring the coast and the adjacent islet, and, after many hours of fruitless search, without a sign of the party, and when on the point of giving them up, some writing was seen on a rock across a river, which we instantly made for, and found written—' Go to Spaniard Har bour.' On another rock adjoining we read—' You will find us in Spaniard Harbour.' On a third piece of rock we read—' Dig below,' which wo instantly did, but found only a broken bottle, without any paper or direc tions. On searching one of the numerous wigwams in the neighbourhood, we read on one of their poles, A bottle under this pole,' but we could not find it, although we sent for shovels and crowbars, and dug deep and carefully for it; but it was evident from some fragments of stores found on the spot, that the mission had rested here. " Accordingly the next morning, January 21, I sailed early for Spanish Harbour, and entered it on the same evening at seven o'clock. Our notice was first attracted by a boat lying on the beach about one mile and a half inside of Cape Kinnaird; it was blowing very fresh from the south, and the ship rode uneasily at her anchor. I instantly sent Lieutenant Pigott and Mr. Roberts, the master, to reconnoitre and return immediately, as I was anxious to get the ship to sea again in safety for the night; they returned shortly, bringing some books and papers, having discovered the bodies of Capt. Gardiner and dr. Maidment unburied. "From the papers found Mr. Maidment was dead on the 4th of September, and Captain Gardiner could not possibly have survived the 6th of September, 1851. On one of the papers found was written legibly, but with out a date, 'lf you will walk along the beach for a mile and a half you will find us in the other boat, hauled up in the mouth of a river at the head of the harbour, on the south side. Delay not, wo are starving.' At this sad intelligence it was impossible to leave that night, although the weather looked very threatening; neither the aneroid barometer nor symperzometer being very unfavourable, I held on for the night. "I landed early the next morning (Jan. 22), stud visited the spot where Captain Gardiner and his com rade were lying, and then went to the head of the har bour with Lieutenant Gaussen, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Evan Evans, the surgeon. We found there the wreck of a boat, with part of a gear and stores, with quanti ties of clothing, with the remains of two bodies, which I conclude to be Mr. Williams (surgeon) and John Pearce (Cornish fishermen), as the papers clearly show the deaths and burial of all the rest of the mission party. "The two boats were thus about a mile and a half apart. Near the one where Captain Gardiner was lying was a large cavern, called by him Pioneer Cavern, where they kept their stores and occasionally slept, and in that cavern Mr. Maidment's body was found. "Among Captain Gardiner's papers, which I will no tice presently, I extract the following:—' Mr. Maidment was so exhausted yesterday that he did not rise from his bed till noon, and I have not seen him since.' Again, on the 4th of September, alluding to Mr. Maidment, be writes—' It was a merciful Providence ho left the boat, as I could not have removed the body.' Captain Gar diner's body was lying beside the boat, which apparently he had left, and, being too weak to climb into it again, had died by the side of it. We wore directed to the ca vern by a hand painted on the rocks, with 'Psalm lxii. v. 58,' under it. " Their remains were collected together and buried close to this spot, and the funeral service read by Lieu tenant Underwood; a small inscription was placed on the rock, near his own tent; the colours of the boats and ships struck half-mast, and t hree volle y s of mu t sk et t rj a , were the only tribute of respect I could p lofty-minded man and h is devoted companions, t e o tn ha o v v e perished in the cause of th e G os p el for the want of h supplies, and before noon the D ido was proceeding safely on her voyage. " In looking over the papers found in the cavern, I a li ne time of their am enabled to trace out the wanderings many of the sufferings which beset the party up to unhappy end. Some of the papers are o n me pr n i n vat r e ni a i ff g unconnected with their position, and some ions rs' b e ar upon Subjects, but I quote only from those their fate. o o f n D th e e " " Having arrived at Picton Isl and othneitrhteenstths cember, 1850, they landed and pit c b o o n a s t e s qu n e o n u e l d e 6th. but were compelled to re of the annoyance of the natives,o named the Pioneer and be got ready.

They left Lennox-harbour on the 20th of January f or Bloomfield harbour to refit th eir boats, but, finding the natives there t force they in great-force, bore up for Spanish-harbour, which they reached on the 24th of January. " Here they seemed to have experienced many vicis situdes from, the surf and storms till the Ist of January, when the Pioneer was driven on the rocks, her bow stove in, and irreparable. The party in this boat then took to a cavern, but finding it damp, and the tide washing into it, they hauled the wreck of the Pioneer higher up on the beach, and, covering her with a tent, they made a dormitory of her, the Speedwell being higher up at the mouth of a river, which they named Cook's river, after a lady and benefactress to the mission. " Feb. 1 8.—The tide rose higher than usual, and I find the following remark by Captain Gardiner:—` The box contained fi w e h e i t e i h ngabeut in my the most eurf valuable books and papers all directions ' its contents in and ßy tthhei this beach e r s e t s r e e e w n n with acci dent I lost a reference Bible,my private journal, end some useful memorandums, hiefly on missionary sub jects, which I have been collectingfor years, also my rings, and a purse containing 81. Bs. all the money I possessed, with the exception ' of sd. in copper. All my warm clothing was washed away, but, providentially, thrown up. again by t h e tide in the course of two or three "Feb. 2 days. "Fob. —Mr. Williams is unwell in the boat, and • Captain Gardiner r emoves to a tent tomake or " March 13—This tent, named a hermitagenycearotoat Gardiner, is burnt dow n . I t appears that two casks of biscuits and one of pork had been buried at Pieton Island to disencumber the boats, and nourishing food being wanted, as Mr. Williams and J. Baddock had got the scurvy, they resolve to go to Pluton Island for it, which they reach on the 23d of March, intending to remain there till the expected vessel arrives from England with stores. Having got these provisions on board, and find ing the natives still troublesome, they painted the no tices on the rooks mentioned above, buried some bottles, and returned to Spaniard-harbour on the 29th of March. "In the beginning of April another of the party (J. Bryant)gets the scurvy, and, the disease gaining on the others, they become enfeebled in consequence. " April 23—TheY hafe•ProvNions enough to last for two months, but some are very low; and, a fox pilfering from them, they kill him by putting a piece of pork opposite the muzzle of a gun attached by a string to the trigger; and, as they can only issue pork three times a week, they dine off this fox, and salt the remainder; altogether they appear to have been very frugal with their supplies. I find a notice of five large fish caught, and an account kept of the number of ducks shot, as, their powder having been left on board the ship, and a flask and a half being all they have, they keep it for contingencies. " May 12—Is a note of the biscuit being short, and altogether as they have not supplies for more than three weeks, all (but the sick) go on short allowance. " May 19—The preserved meat is out, and Mr. Wil liams appears to be failing. " May 22—Set apart for special prayer on behalf of the sick, for supplies of food, and the arrival of the ex pected vessel. Frequent mention is made of the tide washing into the cavern, carrying away their stores, and endangering their sleeping boat, which they endeavoured to counteract by building breakwaters of stones; but in the night the surf washes away their work of the day. On one occasion I find Captain Gardiner and Mr. Maid meat have to escape from the cavern to save their lives, and, taking refuge on a rock washed by the surf, they kneel down in prayer. "Juno 11—I, Erwin and another of the party take the scurvy, and misfortune seems hovering around them. Their fishing net is swept away, and J. Baddock dies on the 28th of June, and is buried on a bank under the trees at Cook's River. After performing the last offices they retire to their boat for prayers. " July 4—Having been seven weeks on short allow ance, and latterly even this having been curtailed, the party aro utterly helpless. Everything found in the shape of food is cooked and eaten—a penguin, a shag, a halt-devoured fish washed upon the shore, and even the salted fox washed out of the cavern, is thrown up again on the beach, and used for food. Captain Gardiner writes —` We have now remaining half a duck, about one pound of salt pork, the same quantity of damaged tea, a very little rice (a pint), two cakes of chocolate, four pints of peas, to which I may add six mice. The mention of this last item in our list of provisions may startle some of our friends, should it ever reach their ears; but, cir cumstanced as we are we partake of them with a relish, and have already eaten several of them. They are very tender, and taste like rabbit.' " July 22—They are reduced to living on muscles, and feel the want of food, and sometimes the craving of hun ger is distressing to them. Captain Gardiner writes,— ' After living on muscles for a fortnight, I was compelled to give them up, and my food is now muscle broth and the soft part of limpets. " July 28—Captain Gardiner writes of the party in the other boat,—' They are all extremely weak and helpless; even their garden seeds used for broth are now all out.' " August 14—Captain Gardener takes to his bed, but a rock weed is discovered which they boil down to a jelly, and find nourishment from. " August 23—John Erwin dies. "August 26—J. Bryant dies, and Mr. Maidment buries them both in ono grave. " John Pearce, tho remaining boatman, is cast down at the loss of his comrades, and wandering in his mind, but Williams is somewhat better. _ _ " Set. 3—Mr. Maidment had never recruited from that day of bodily and mental exertion. The remain ing remarks I transcribe literally, and must speak for themselves. " ' Sept. 3—Wishing if possible to spare him (Mr. Maidment) the trouble of attending on me, and for the mutusl comfort of all, I, proposed, if practicable, to go to the river and take up my quarters in the boat. This was attempted on Saturday last, feeling that without crutches I could not possibly effect it. Mr. Maidment most kindly cut me a pair (two forked sticks), but it was with no slight exertion and fatigue, in his weak state. We set out together, bat soon found that I had not strength to proceed, and was obliged to return before reaching the brook on our own beach. Mr. Maidment was so exhausted yesterday that he did not rise from his bed until noon, and I have not seen him since, conse quently I tasted nothing yesterday. I cannot leave the place where I am, and know not whether he is in the body, or enjoying the presence of the gracious God whom he has served so faithfully. lam writing this at ten o'clock in the forenoon. Blessed be my Hea venly Father for the many mercies I enjoy—a com fortable bed, no pain, or even craving of hunger; though excessively weak, scarcely able to turn in my bad, at least it is a very great exertion; but I am by His abounding grace kept in perfect peace, refreshed with a sense of my Saviour's love, and an assurance that all is wisely tend mercifully appointed, and pray that I may receive the fall blessing which it is doubtless de signed to bestow. My care is all cast upon God, and I am only waiting His time and His good pleasure to dispose of me as He shall seem fit. Whether I live or die may it be in Him; I condemned my body and my soul to His care and keeping, and earnestly pray that He will take my dear wife and children under the shadow of His wings, comfort, guard, strengthen, and sanctify them wholly, that we may together in a brighter and eternal world praise and adore His goodness and grace in redeeming us with His precious blood, and plucking us brands from the burning to bestow upon us the adop tion of children, and make us inheritors of His Heavenly kingdom .—Amen. doubt that my dear fellow-labourer haso the c f eas redeemed in " ' Thursday, Sept. 4.—There is now no ed rfrooomm histo earthly toils, and joined the company under these circumstances, it was a merciful Providence the presence of the Lord, whom h e servedsoaithfully; He left a little pepp ermint -water w l that he left the boat , a s I could not have hi removed the body. c was nu other to drink; fea`ring 1 mig suer rom thirst mixed, and it has been a great comfort ht to ff me f , but th ere g I prayed that the Lord might strengthen me to pro cure m y In d four a r o u u rlvy b ed b l nla e ay r ms overshoe some.

W. H. Monsmn, Captain." MISSIONARY MADNESS. A most app a lli ng story will be found in another colnmn of our i m p ress i on th i s day. A n E ng li s h offi cer , Captain Gardiner, of the Royal Navy, who bad proceeded with six companions upon what was called the " Pater)... nbeianen d eath—he,Mission'.*rilne with him. Neither reverence fo r do e to o d f , tohre smother leader ot he r cause in which d an o d f C hipco lf m n ranC bas ons ' they were engaged nor the unutterable folly admiration . the of the e arty can blind our eyes to of the th e e x e xp ression of natural indigna tionration of the lofty quali ties enterprise as it was cone valuable lives on so hopeless expedition . Surely wantonly an risk so many against those who Jul there is distress and agony enoug h within the home—surely there is ignorance and vice enoug h of the four seas. When this distress shall ha ve lindaqes missies's, t o alleviated—when this ignorance shall have been bn enlight ened—when this vice shall have been extirpated, will . not be time enough to think of dispatching Cape Horn? There is such a thing as subordination even among acts of duty. What are we to think of that charity which disregards the claims of the suffering thousands who speak with English tongues, but can find sympathy and money enough when there is a question of affording assistance to a parcel of scarcely human savages, separated from us, we may almost say, by the diameter of the globe? True, thy may be living in the midst of savagery and bruttihty of the wildest kind, but at least they are not afflicted with that 1 worst species of suffering—conscious degradation. They have not present before their eyes at every moment of the day a standard of comparison which adds intensity to every pang they suffer. We should be perfectly will ing to accept the argument against the promoters of these wild schemes from their own point of view. We should be prepared to show them in our own large towns, and in the very centre of British civilization, persons as ig norant of the first rudiments of Christianity as the wretched savages who persecuted Captain Gardiner and his companions amidst the tempests of Cape Horn. The reports of the various commissioners connected with the . Associations for the Promotion of Ch r i s ti an ity by va rious means in the populous districts of English towns will supply them with all requisite information. Let them go to the Bishop of Louuon—let them go to Lord Shaftesbury—let them go to the nearest inspector of po lice, and they can soon supply themselves with facts sufficient to quicken their missionary zeal. We, who may be supposed to entertain the question rather in the spirit of statesmen or politicians, would say, " Why do not you, who are blessed with abundant means, rather pluck a few hundreds or thou sands of your suffering countrymen from certain de struction than waste your energies upon a horde of savages separated from you by every line of demarca tion which Providence can set between human beings? What would you say to the wild Patagonian who would with a dry eye abandon his unfortunate countrymen to their ignorance, their brutality, and their storms, and devote his life to the purpose of procuring painted glass for the windows of St. Bernell:a in Belgravia, or sub scriptions tor the erection of district churches in Bolton or in Sheffield? Is it not in your power, by a slight exercise of your superior intelligence and a slight expenditure of your abundant means, to remove many an English family to Australia or the Canadite, to lands where they will grow up without the awful temptations to which they must inevitably be exposed at home, and where their children will meet with all profitable in struction and teaching? Your sympathies are not with them. Their sufferings are a common and everyday matter. It requires almost the pungency of a romance to lash your sluggish zeal into activity. The Patagonian and the negro are your brothers—not so your poor English fellow•coantrymen." Strange as it may appear, this is a lamentable truth, and the result is neglect at home, and misdirected energy abroad. It is unnecessary here to reproduce the particulars of the story, which will be found in ample detail in Captain Morshead's report. Suffice it to say that the ill-fated party landed on Picton Island towards the conclusion of the year 185 0 . From the first they seem to have been annoyed, in some measure, by the natives, and to have b een h u ntedbackwa.rds and forwards from the little island to what may be called the mainland of Tierra del Fuego.

Poor Captain,Gardiner's diary, in which he records day by day the slow process of his agony, brings the scene very vividly before us. In its naked simplicity it far exceeds the wild ravings which Victor Hugo has placed in the mouth of the condemned criminal who is supposed to record his feelings day by day between con demnation and execution. Surelythis should be a severe lesson to the friends and advocates of distant missionary enterprise. What had we to do in Patagonia and its inhospitable islands? In Patagonia itself, as far as we know from the little information we have derived from the South American Governments, there are some hordes of wandering Indians—but of their real condition perfect We are in ignorance. The very lines of the coast were mere gue ss work upon the ch a rt s un til the surveying expeditions of the Beagle and Enterprise in 1826.36. Surely it is unjust, impolitic, and unnecessary to devote the great sums which would be necessary in order W carry out any missionary expedition of an ef fective nature in such a region to any ouch purpose while we have so much destitution and ignorance et home. At any rate, the thing should either be tee_ll or it should not be done at all. We c t, wal anno done, reaso n, incur the expense of doing it well. The fate of Captain Gardiner and his companions shoul d prove a ufficient terr ible warning against any unadvised and ex p e ditions of the like kind for many a year to come. 5 The ro- Let us hear no more of Patagonian in Inissi r n red a responpsi meters of the scheme have already u_ t ° for poignant re bility which should give them sub j ec _ tmes . gret, to cease only with their live.—i her lastchild -------- the b es t [ADVERTISEMENT.] ---- 11 ° 11°Wa Y 'S Pills beganit. ttosonn.ealfitearndtheafbtierrthxaorfds her and most efficient Remedy to Cure Dropsy.—Extract of a let ter from Mr. P.
