FABLES for the FANCIFUL.—No. CECILIA AND TIIE TULIP. Amid the garden's peaceful shade, At evening's tranquil hour, Cecilia, meditating, strayed, And in her leafy progress stayed, To pluck a beauteous flower. " Fair lady," (quoth the chosen bloom, When taken from its stem) " Those roses have a rich perfume— 'Why take a tulip from the loom, Instead of one of them ?" Cecilia smiled, and thus addressed The golden-petalled flower : Fair bloom, it WAS thy beauteous crest. Which made me choose thee from the rest, That blossom in the bower. " Flora has clothed thee with attire, Which few but thee assume ; And 'tis this dress which ranks the higher, However much I may admire • The rose's scented bloom." APPLICATION. I heard—and smile not oN hen I say I thought of Moses' Mart, Where fashion's flower=, in choice display, Attract admirers, day by day, From many a distant part. This splendid suit, by Moses made, Has won Cecilia's smile ; She thinks the beauty nere displayed, Casts every other in the shade, In point of make and style. Had it not been for M. and Son, She might have passed me by ; But dress like this, excelled be none, • Has, like the tulip's beauty, won Cecilia's judging eye. LIST OF PRICES. KEADT WADS.

IMPORTANT CASE. requiring the nicest discrimination and accuracy in its preparation—and there are medicines, gentlemen, as the records of coroners' inquests too fatally make known to us, in which the turn of a scale, or the measuring of a half drop make the difference between health and death --what security have we, I ask you, if such as I now complain of be the practice of druggists 1 What security have we—the ignorant confiding publie—inys tifsed by the Latin of the prescription, and bamboozled by the mysterious importance of the surgeon-druggist— thai, he will not make up this carefully-obtained pre scription, on which the life of' the bread-gainer of a large family may depend, totally different from the purpose and intention of the able physician who wrote it, and administer to us some drastic sulphate, or bitter nauseating salt like this, instead of a tasteless, inodorous, and innocently refreshing medicine, like Murray's fluid magnesia, or any other proper ingredient, legibly written in our prescription ? This, then, is why I am here. This is why I have left my home and my business to follow up this matter in London. It is a public question, gentlemen, and the public, in my humble person, seek justice and redress and safety for the future at your hands. I can have no personal motive, gentlemen; God forbid that I should bear malice. Mr. Milford caused me a fearful griping; I have to thank him that he let me off so easily. It is for you, gentlemen, by your ver dict this d a y, to read to him and the medical profession a wholesome lesson fur their future guidance. I have but one witness here, whom I shall at once call, Mr. Griffiths then called Mr. Henry Gibbons, oil and grease manufacturer, of Wolverhampton, to prove the damage and loss occasioned to the plaintiff by his absence from business, and the necessary stoppage of his works from the want of his personal superintendence. Mr. Gibbons showed clearly t h at the plaintiff's works, viz., the North Western Works, we re very extensive, and f a nature to render the presence of the principal abso lutely necessary. Mr. Gibbon: also proved the amount of damage claimed by the plaintiff to be fairly estimate -d. Mr. Griffiths was then sworn to his statement, which he repeated in evidence. Cross-examined by Mr. MxLLOR, who attended as counsel for the defendant—Pray, Mr. Griffiths, had you been dining on the day you dropped in at Mr. Walford's? I had taken a little rice pudding only, as I felt ill.—Will you swear you had not eaten mutton and turnips? I I certainly had not.—And that you did not tell Mr. Wal ford that you had eaten mutters and turnips, and that they had disagreed with you? I told Mr. Walford that I had a violent pain in the head; that I was liable to irretibility of the stomach; and I might have told him that I had dined the previous day on mutton and turnips, but not on that day certainly.— Well now, when you went into Mr. Walford's shop did you not ask for some advice? No! there was no one there but the apprentice boy, and I should not have, asked a boy for advice.—But when Mr. Walford came in, you complained of your head and asked his advice, did you not? No; I said I should like a dose of Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia and a calomel pill.—Oh, you prescribed for yourself a calomel pill? Yes, I prescribed for myself a calomel pill. —And did you take the pill? No, not from Mr. Walford. —Now, Mr. Griffiths, may I ask you why you take this Murray's fluid magnesia, of which you seem so great an admirer? Because for some years past I have known it as a safe and certain reme,ly for all complaints of the stomach and bowels; and more than that, I consider it as a preservative against cholera; I am going to take some now. [Here, much to the amusement of the court, Mr. Grit nths opened the bottle of Sir James Murray's fluid mag nesia, with which he was provided as part of his evi dence, and pouring a little of it, with some acid syrup, into a glass, manufactured for himself a beverage, the effervescence of which excited a sensation of envy in the whole court.] —Now, will you swear that you did not ask Mr. Watford's advice? I will swear that I tolo him that I had a violent headache, and that I wished for a dose of Murray's fluid magnesia and a calomel pill.---And you did nut ask him to prescribe for you? I did not. —After strongly pressing the plaintiff again on the ap parently important point of mutton and turnips, Mr. Mellor cl lied his cross examination by asking, when you saw Mr. Waltord pour the mixture out of so large a bottle, did you nit know at once it was not Murray's tluid magnesia, as that is in small bottles only, such as the one you have before you? I had no reason to think so; for I know Murray's fluid magnesia to be supplied to :he trade in bottles of that very siz • for dispensing. —You seem to know a great deal about this fluid magnesia? I ought to do so, as I am an operative chemist myself, and more than that, I owe my health to it.—Pray, Mr. Grif tiihs, have you any interest in this medicine? None whatever. Mr. MELLOR then addressed the jury for the de fendant. He considered this one of the most extraordi nary cases that ever came before a court of justice; and, were it possible for the plaintiff to obtain a verdict, no me,licel man, for the future, could be safe in prescribing fur a patient; and here it would be necessary for him to remind the jury of a spe cious and ingenieus attempt on the part of the plaintiff to beguile their sympathies by a philanthropic clap trap, viz.—that of giving the damages to the South Staffordshire Hospital. This was cheap charity on the part of Mr. Griffiths, as the money was to come out of the pocket of his client, Mr. Walford. Mt. Griffi!hs claimed damages from his client, which the jury could out concede; besides which they must con sider the serious effects and consevenees which a ver dict for the, plaintiff, if only for a shilling., would entail upon Mr. Walford, whom the plaintiff admitted was a highly rempectsblo young 'non. Ile was ri,t there to impugn the motive s of Mr. Griffiths, who hail c , -r. (airily conducted his case ie a most able and gentle manly manner; but the plaintiff was totally without a case. What were the facts? He goes into a doctor's sup; he states he is ill; he asks for a lvice; he takes the medicine ; then cries out " Oh, you have given me Epsom salts ;" becomes angry and excited ; rushes off to another chemist arid druggist ; buys more medicine there, and takes it ; goes h retires to bed, feels a natural consequence of Epsom salts and calomel pills ; and, most ungratefully, as soon as he is up and better, goes into the druggist's shop and says he shall bring an action against him. An action 1 For what ? We have cause and effect—illnes s and physic. But Mr. Griffiths, who justly describes himself as irritable, wishes to subvert the usual order of things, and turn them to physic and illness. But what caused his illness? Was it the mutton and the turnips ?—for he was pre pared to prove that Mr. Griffiths told Mr. Walford that he had dined that day on mutton and turnips—or was it the calomel pill, or the Epson] salts, or the fluid magnesia, or all altogether ? Would he have been just as ill with out the Epsom salts, or did he get better through them? The jury would see at a glance what an idle case this was to trouble the court with, and bring so many respectable practitioners away from their ordinary occu pations. He was prepared to contend, that the medicine administered by Mr. Walford was a proper one. It was not Epsom salts, but bicarbonate of magnesia, a prepa ration in which Epsom salts only entered for a small part, and in which their effects were neutralised. To prove this he should call an eminent medical gentleman, a professor of chemistry, whose evidence he had no doubt would be sufficient to ensure a verdict tor the defendant. Mr. Lloyd, surgeon, of Jewin-street, spoke as to the efficacy of the bicarbonate of magnesia, and as to its being a mixture such as he would have prescribed for a person in Mr. Griffiths's state. Cross-ex-amined by Mr. GRIFFITHS—How long have you been in practice, Mr. Lloyd? Twenty-five years.— As a surgeon? Yes.—l think you stated in your exa mination that the mixture referred to was very similar in its properties to fluid magnesia? I did so.—Was there any Epsom salts in that mixture? There was.— But excuse me, Mr. Lloyd, are you accustomed to pro scribe Epsom s a lt s f ur an i n fl amma torr that the stomach? administeredrta nly n by m not.—D id WalfordDdysaotu:ew of the bowelsnot a s s ay a , ts and hemediei medicine 3 very proper one for my complaint? I did.—Pray,i3,means sir, did you see m© on th it occasion? o.— what did you obtain the diagnosis of my disease? From Mr. Walford.—Are you not aware that hearsay evidence cannot be received in a court of law? And you knew nothing of my complaint except what Mr. Walford told you. Are you accustomed to prescribe for your patients without seeing them? Certainly not.—Then I appre hend, Mr. Lloyd, my case was an exception, not the rule of your practice? Mr. Lloyd then, in a very talented manner, answered the chemical questions of Mr. Grif fiths, as to the composition of the mixture administered to him by Mr. Waltord, and after giving a clear analysis of the same, stated that the chemical combination yielded a product very similar in its properties to fluid magnesia. Mr. Griffiths stongly pressed him as to Epsom salts (sulphate of magnesia) being one of the components, which Mr. Lloyd acknowledged, but contended that their action was neutralized. Mr. Griffiths observed that he did not see how that could be, as in Mr. Waltord's mix ture there remained the taste and the griping effects of these drastic salts. Mr. Wilford, of 149, Alderagate-street, stated that he was a partner in the firm of Lunn and Walford, Mr. Lunn not being his partner as a surgeon, but simply as a chemist and druggist. He is himself a surgeon, Mr. Lunn only makes the prep a r a ti ons . H e recollected the plaintiff coming to his shop. He was out at the time and just returning from visiting a patient, when he mot Mr. Griffiths coming out of the shop. He re-entered with him. The apprentice said that the gentleman wanted some advice. Mr. Griffiths complained of flAtudle disagreed with heartburn, and said the mutton and turn with him. He had not been drinkingipsanh; looked at his tongue and sent for the While pouring this mixture of bicarbonate of magnesia . ike fluid magnesia H e out, Mr. Griffiths said he should something q bottle co td n h t i a n it i' ing li a e m quite as good.

He mad e a ru l e o f not telling his patients what he gave them; as otherwise they might d o ctor themselves, and do mi sc hi e f , by an injudi c i ous use of proper medicines on improper occasions. That was the common sense of the mystery of medicine. Mr. Griffiths was very angry, and, in an excited manner, said ho did not care for him, to which he replied that he did not care for Mr. Griffiths, and took his money and left him. REPORT OF A TRIAL WHICH TOOK PLACE AT THE GUILDHALL COUNTY COURT, LONDON, ON FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1849. THE PUBLIC AND MEDICAL MEN, GRIFFITHS V. WALFORD. - - This case, which, from the crowded state of the court, and the large attendauce of medical practitioners, ap pears to have excited great interest in the medical world, cline on for trial on Friday. the 13th ult., before Mr. Bullock, in the Guildhall County Court, London. As the case seems to involve a point of great importance between the public, the medical profession, and drug gists, we think it right to place it ht fore our readers at some length. The plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Griffiths, oil merchant, of Wolverhampton, said that he felt himself in a peculiarly embarrassed position—in the first place, owing to the unavoidable absence of the Learned Counsel who was ex pected to conduct his case; and secondly, because of his inexperience in matters of this kind, and the difficulties that would naturally present themselves in proving his case, in the absence of the assistant °Messrs. Butler, end of two other witnesses. Nevertheless, if his Honour would permit him, he felt so much confidence in the merits of the case, and so satisfied was he that the jury and nis Honour would patiently listen to the facts, and appreciate the motives which brought him into that Court, that he preferred going at once into the case himself, relying entirely upon its merits, and regardless of the adverse circumstances connected with his position in respect to it that day. The facts, as alleged in the plaint, were these—that on Sunday, the Ist of April last, while in London on business, he felt himself taken ill with a violent irritability of the stomach, to which he was subject; and that being somewhat nervous about it, especially ae.he knew the cholera to be in Lon • don, he determined to lose no ti me i n a d opt i ng t h e re medy which, in such cases, he had invariably found be neficial to himself and his family, viz.—a dose of Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia. He therefore went into a chemist and druggist's shop—that of the defend ants, Messrs. Lunn and Watford, 149, Aldersgate-street, to procure it. Seeing, however, that there was only an apprentice boy in the shop, he was on the point of leav ing. when Mr. Walford came in. He immediately asked him for a doss of Murray's fluid magnesia, and a four grain calomel pill. Mr. Watford, after putting one or two unimportant questions, and volunteering some advice and medicine of his own mixing, proceeded, as Mr. Griffiths supposed, to execute the order he had given him, and poured out from a bottle, which he had taken down, a dose of what Mr. Griffiths presumed was fluid magnesia. He noticed, however, the turbid appearance of the mixture, as contrasted with the clear and brilliant appearance usually presented by Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia, and observed to Mr. Watford— " Are you sure there is no mistake? I see some crystals in the bottle; this is not usual." " Oh," was Mr. Walford's reply, "it is all right, sir— lam a surgeon." On the faith of this assurance and in full reliance on Mr. Walford as a surgeon, " I swallowed the draught," said Mr. Griffiths, with a qualmish grimace at the recollection, and momentarily exclaimed, " you have given me Epsom salts, sir! You have done me an injury you can never compensate!" for he must inform the jury that he had the greatest horror of Epsom salts; the drastic effects of which invariably increased the irritability of stomach to which he was liable, and excited inflammatory symptoms, to avoid which was the very reason he was in the habit of taking Murray's fluid magnesia. " Will you take your pill now, sir?" asked Mr. Watford. " No, sir," replied Mr. Griffiths, angrily, " I wish you had given me what I asked you fur, sir. I wanted magnesia—fluid magnesia —not Epsom salts." " What! are you not aware," was Me. Walfurd's reply, " that Epsom salts are magnesia? Will you take your pill, sir?" The plaintiff then angrily and peremptorily retused to take any more medicine of Mr. Walford's making, who then became excited in his turn, and reiterated several times that he was a surgeon. Being now seizsct with violent head ache and nausea, the plaintiff hurried off to Messrs. Butler and Co., St. Paul's Churchyard, where he mentioned the circumstances, and procured s 'male of Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia and a calomel pill. On reaching his hotel, the action of the salts had evidently increased his malady, superinducing colic pains in the stomach, and great nor vous excitement in the gastric region. In this condition he remained, purged and vomiting all that night and the next day, when, as soon as he could crawl out, he pro-. ceeded to Messrs. Lunn and Waltord's shop, in Alders gate street, to remonstrate with Mr. Milford on thy matter, and to demand an apology. He found, however, that, instead of apologising, that gentleman took higs Around, and seemed to think that he had done quite right—whereupon Mr. Griffiths declined any further explanation, as offer,'d by Mr. Watford, and told him he would seek reparation in a court efjustice. " Now, gen tlemen." said Mr. Griffiths, addressing himself to the iury, " it is for this injury that I seek redress at your hands. Bslieve me, it is not wish me a question ot amount of (images." I am compelled, as a means ot bringing the matter before the Court, to claim certain !images, and I have therefore estimated tt,e steppage of my works, my compulsory delay in London, and conse quent loss, at a definite amount; but I care not what you ovo me, it you give me a vurdiet—the darnag,,, what ever they may be, I shall present to the South Staf tordshire Hospital, at Wolverhampton. My ofij. c i ,s the vindication of this important principle— that if you, or I, or any one, go into a druggist's shop, and ask for some particular medicine—that drogeist— or surgeon in attendance in his shop—shall not be at liberty to substitute another, either because he has not ;ot the one we ask for, or does not choose to sell it ; or lesires to sell something else, by which he makes a targer profit; or has the vanity or the presumption to hunk he knows better than his customer what is good for him. This latter may be very true, gentlemen, and I duke fay Mr. Watford, who is a highly respectable man, thcught so, too, in my case; but, gentlemen, " at orty," says the proverb,—l believe, by the bye, it is an axiom of the great Paracelsus—" every man is either a tool or a physician;" and when I went to Mr. Walford's shop to purchase my own prescription for myself,—Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia,—l did not intend to take Epsom salts, because Mr. Walford might think them better for me. I knew what was best for myself; I knew why I wanted Murray's fluid magnesia; I knew that it had been our domestic remedy at home for my family ever since accident had made me acquainted with its virtues. I wanted the irritability in my stomach allayed, not excited; I wanted the gastric region soothed, not excoriated. I have a great repugnance and horror of any and every kind of medicine, more especially senna, or Epsom salts. The medicine I asked fbr was perfectly tasteless, and comparatively agreeable, while Epsom salts are exceedingly bitter, and have a pecu iarly offensive and nauseating taste; besides which, it is a drastic neutral salt, in no way adapted to the de sangement of stomach under which I was labouring; whereas Murray's fluid magnesia is an antacid and esreeable remedy, admirably adapted to neutralise the -cetous secretions in the stomach, the primum mobile of he disease from which I was suffering. Again, it is field magnesia that I always take for analogous symp urns—it was this that I went for; that I asked for; oid, instead of which, Mr. Watford gave me Epsom alts! He said Epsom salts were magnesia. Ot course hey are, gentlemen, bat magnesia in what form? Here s the Pharmacopoeia, the standard authority of the pro ession, which your Lordship doubtless knows well.— [Judge, with a shudder, " Oh, no, no!"]—(Laughter.) ~Nell, what does this Pharmacopoeia say ? First, let us read the description of what I wauted—the carbonate of :nignksii in the fluid state, as prepared by Sir James Murray—" Carbonate of magnesia, when pure is colourless, inodorous, tasteless." Now let us look at the sulphate of magneiss, (that is, Epsom salty, which Mr. Walford substituted)—"Sulphate of magneisa is an , -xceedingly bitter salt." Did I want a bitter salt, gen- Jemen? If I did, I should have asked for it. Wha right had Mr. IValford to administer it to me? Am I, or is any man, to be dosed, and nauseated, and griped at tie will of a medical man and a4ainst his own? Let us look at the composition of these Epsom salts; what is the first element, " forty parts of sulphuric acid!" Did I want sulphuric acid, or any combination of it—l with In irritable stomach? Gentlemen, persona who are sub ject to this affhc ion know it to be a fearful complaint, And it is a God-send when a man finds out what will Ji II ay this dreadful sensation. I have found that God' send in Sir James Murray's fluid magneisa, and for this I applied to Mr. Walford, and Mr. Walford gave me Epsom salts. Now, gentlemen, you are well aware that if a baker is detected mixing alum, gypsum, or other deleterious substances with his bread, the law at once takes cognizance of the offence; the defrauder is by that law severely punished; and the man, whoever he may be, whether wealthy or otherwise, withers before the effect of public opinion, and never shows himself again in the town where, before, he might, for aught I know, have filled the most important public situations. The same penalties would be awarded against the grocer for mixing his sugar; the brewer for doctoring his ales; or the wine merchant tor substituting his own logwood mixture for the generous Oporto juice. Shall it, then, be said that in the professions, especially in the one where so much confidence is necessarily pi -teed; where every msn de livers himself blindfold tu his ignorance, bound hand and foot by the mystery in which medicine is perpetually kept, into the hands of his druggist or his doctor—shall, then, I say, be allowed to gentlemen of this profession the power of fraudulent substitution which is denied to all trades? You see, at once, the importance of this question, the high importance of the principle I come here to vindicate. To some constitutions particular medicines, as we all know, are most dangerous. For myself, I have a horror of senna and Epsom salts. I happen also to know a gentleman, at this moment en• gaged in a house at Wolverhampton, who is so sensitive to the effects of ipecacuanha, that if a cork were only taken out of a bottle, and only one pound of the powdered drug weighed upon the scale, although it might be in a distant part of the warehouse, it would affect his stomach to such an extent, that he would be obliged to leave the office, and be rendered unfit for business during the whole day. The effect of Epsom salts upon m ; self is precisely the same, though perhaps not in degree. Why, then, should I be, made to take them by M r . Walford or any o ther man ? What safety is there, to any of us, that a prescription, ob tained at a great expense, and in the crisis, it may be, of soma fatal disorder, from some eminent physioin, Cross-examined by Air. GRIFFITHS—The mixture he gave was not Epsom salts, but was composed of bicar bonate of potas s an d sulphate i of magnesia; sulphate of maguesia was Epsom salts, but they became neutralized in that mixture, which then became bicarbonate of mag i:nit, We co 1d 110 6Vetr that ?in arteltha did not On the KENTISII COAST, near Herne Bay, and only six miles from Canterbury.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording ♦n ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.

He complained of headache, flatulency, and heartburn. lie could not sa y w h et h er t h ey had `surrey's flui3 magnesia on the premises at the time. .prom salts was not fluid magnesia. He could not re ember the name of the patient from visiting whom he just returning when he found Mr. Griffiths in the shop. Remembered Mr. Griffiths mentioned fluid mag nesia, while he bad the bottle of mixture in his hand and was pouring it out; will not swear that Mr. Griffiths did not ask for Murray's fluid magnesia. Mr. Griffiths said "You shall not make the pill for me— have • you given me wrong." Alexander Jackson stated that he was the apprentice of Messrs. Lunn and Walford; he remembered the plaintiff coming to the shop, and thinks he said he wanted some advice. He remembered the plaintiff saying after he bad taken the dose, " I isesh you had given me what I asked for;" and also remembered that he said "I won't have the pill, you have not given me what I asked for." He cannot swear that he remembered hearing plaintiff ask for Murray's fluid magnesia, but will not swear that he did not ask for it. Mr. Lunn, of the firm of Lunn and Walford, said that he was a chemist and druggist, and in partnership with Mr. Watford. The y had Sir James Murray's fluid mag nesia in stock on the Ist of April. They obtained it from Mr. Edwards, St. Paul's Church-yard. He does not sell much of it, as he generally sells his own pre parations, which pay him better. Cross-examined by Mr.GaireTries—Begged distinctly to state to the court, that he did not profess a knowledge of anatomy, or the practice of physic; was not a surgeon and did not wish to be examined as one. He was a chemist. Mr. Griffiths—Very well, Mr. Lunn, we will examine you as a chemist then. [The discussion as to the elements of Epsom salts, and the true properties of sulphates, carbonates, and bicarbonates of magnesia, here became so animated and exciting between the various medical witnesses, and Mr. Lunn and Mr. Griffiths, botk of them operative chemists, that the judge, the jury, the court, and even the cause itself seemed to be forgotten, and we might have fancied ourselves present at a scientific reunion ; when, on a sudden, a very nave offer made by Mr. Gri ffi ths in the excite ment of the discussion, that the jury should test the two, by taking a dose of the Epsom salts and a dose of the fluid magnesia, convulsed the jury with horror and the court with laughter. This trial, by ordeal, was, it is needless to say, declined, with great energy, by the gen tlemen of the jury—and the examination proceeded.] Mr. Griffith: Mr. Lunn, as an operative chemist, do you know a bottle (if - Murray's fluid magnesia when you see it? Yes. --Do you keep it in your shop? I do.— a y you salts? T t e h l l e( the i.at ar jury nit. Do you sell much ot it? No.—How is this? I sell my own preparations, which pay me much better.—Now, whether —ls nut.—Do r E )r. p aoy s u c. i s m n i s au a ki l de t s magnesiaar alle )fl,ouuidr own preparations? No.—What do you make? Those preparations that pay me best. —That I was aware of, sir, hut that is no mime/. to my question. Do you make the preparations of opium, morphine, and so on? Epsomisnire:gwnei w i ll Extracts? No.—llasters? No.—Paregoric and syrup of rhubarb, I suppose you do make? Yes.—Pray, Mr. Lunn, are you a member of the Pharmaceutical Society? I am not.—Not a member of the Pharmaceutical Society; oh, indeed! I shall not examine you any further then. Mr. Griffiths (the defendant's case having now closed), in reply said, may it please your Lordship and gentle men of the jury, I fear that the protracted nature of this case, together with the number of hours that you have patiently listened to it, will have exhausted your en durance, and naturally have rendered you anxious for a truce from this dry question of physic, the greater part of which must certainly have been to you most intoler able but for the great principle involved in it; neverthe less, I must beg of you to listen for a short time while I make a few remarks—first, upon two ideas which emanated from my Learned Opponent, in his address fbr the defence—secondly, upon the evidence for the defence —and thirdly, upon the importance of your decision in regard to the great principle in this case trampled under toot by a diplomatiaed member of a learned profession. Now, in the first place, perhaps I may be permitted to acknowledge the very liberal and gentlemanly manner in which my Learned Opponent has conducted this case for the deence, from its opening until now. But I regret, on behalf of that noble institution which I. was anxious to assist with the damages accruing to me this day, that I can no longer appear as its suppliant ; for my Learned Friend, by his anuphilau thropic " clap-trap " has placed me under the painful necessity of foregoing damages altogether, ex cepting so far as will carry the costs of this action. I am not in the habit of dispensing cheap charity, or of clothing the naked at other men's cost; nor will I, in this instance, le ave my motives open to suspicion to you, who know nothing of me, by the insinuation thrown out by my Learned Opponent. perhaps " not because he loved Caesar less, but because he loved Rome more." You will remember, in the second place, that my Learned Friend was exceedingly anxious to excite your sympa thies in favour of the defendant, in consequence of the serious effects which a verdict for myself would entail upon him. Now, gentlemen of the jury—as his Honour will tell you—with the effects or consequences of your verdict you have nothing to do whatever; you are placed in that box, and expected by your country to give a verdict according to the evidence, upon your oaths and consciences as Englishmen, entirely regardless of the effects of that verdict. This is all I ask of you this day. Mutton and turnips, &c., &c., I shall not trouble you .aith. Now, gentlemen, h t us look at the evidence. You will recollect my own evidence, which, condensed, means just this—that I asked plainly and die• tinctly, at Messrs. Lunn and Watford', druggist's shop, for Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia and a. calomel pill—and that Mr. Walford substituted tor, and schninistered to m in the place of it and in stead of it, a solution of sulphate ot magnesia or Epsom salts. Geritlenten, this is my affirmution. It is for you to say, after I have pointed out to you its confirmation by the evidence of Messrs. Watford and Jackson, whe ther it be true or tali,e. Mr. W.ltozd himself says , h it I ordered a fou• -grain calomel pill, arid that while he held the bottle in nis hand I mentioned fluid mag nesia! and mark, he most distinctly and unequivocally declined to NW( ar that. I did not 11,1 c for Sir James Murray's fiti.cl magu aia. Ile likewise states that I charged him with giving me the wrong medicine at the time; and also called the next morning to remonstrate with him upon the substitution. Now for the young J_ekson. He stut, s that I charged Mr. Walford with giving me the wrot:g; remembers my orderine the pill; and declines to swear that I did not ask for fluid magnesia. The Learned Professor, Mr. Lloyd, admits that he knew nothing of the diagnosis of my case except what Mr. Walford had told him, and that although it is a rule with him to bee his patients before pre scribing for them, in this case he made an exception, and gives a strung opinion, backed by the reputation of a professor, without either seeing or pre scribing for me. Then comes Mr. Lunn, who states that he knows a bottle of Murray's fluid magnesia when he sees it; that Muray's fluid mag nesia is not Epsom salts, nor Epsom salts Murray's fluid magnesia. Ile also states that he himself makes the preparations sold in the shop; but, after asking him what he does make, we get at the fact that he makes paregoric and syrup of rhubarb; and likewise, what to your minds must be of the highest importance, that he does not hold a diploma from, nor is he is member of the Phalmaceu . tical Society of Great Britain. Gentlemen, as far as my memory serves me, this is an analysis of the evidence. Now, gentlemen, first as to that which has not, and after wards that which has, to do with this case. Mr. Pro fessor Lloyd's evidence has nothing whatever to do with the case, for all he knows about it was communicated to him by Mr. Walford, and, as I before observed. his Honour will tell you that hearsay evidi.nce cannot be _ . received in a court of justice, and, consequently, yon will be pleased to forget Mr. Lloyd altogether. r mind,Nw. gentlemen of the jury, it must be car y n that every witness o prom the synopsis o f f r t t h b e e evidence h a lts h i n e h on a lh e a o d y , e in i v t e h n e , most ampl e and satisfactory manner, my case, as all ege d a v n en d t p u r r o o r t e o d db e y ny mm)7lsftaotnemoeantht: but, M en Mr. Val_ c ontrary, directly confirms it, when he states t h at I spoke about magnesia ; and indirectly, i n t h e or d er for t i b n rd th d e u p e l s a n li o it t , the calomi I pill, He likewise acknowledges to you that I reproached him angrily for the substitution ; and now I ask you, as men of common sense, what can be more confirmatory of my testimony than this evidence? Tho boy Jackson, in a very honest and straight-forward manner, confirms Mr. Walford's testimony; adding that I said, " I wish you had given me what I asked you for, sir." This, gentlemen, if it were necessary, is another oJgent witness to the truth and stability of my case ; and I feel sure I must have satisfied your minds as to the consistency and integrity of my case, as alleged on the records of the court, and established by my own testimony before you this day. And here I think it necessary to state to the court and jury one of tbo sr sons why Murray's fluid magnesia is used in my family. It is not what is termed a " quac k m edicine, but medicine, merely a well-known and simple elementary na to Sir prepared in a p ecu li ar ly sc i en tifi c manner , onlyacorldieg to a formula i nvente d by an d know James Murray, Phy s i c i an to the fate Lord - Lieutenant of particularly or Ireland.

Argyll-Dlaee Regent-street: an Cookeellera THE CHOLERA.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford at the Bridewell, fothill fields, on the bed. of Jane Davis, aged 27. The deceased, in December. 1848, was sentenced to seven years' transportation at th. Clerkenwell sessions, and removed to the above prison. On Friday last she was attacked with a complaint of th., stomach, but she had instant attendance from Dr. Lavies, who was in the prison. She got worse, and Dr. Levies saw her on Saturday morning. She had then unmistakable symptoms of cholera of the Asiatic character, from which she died the same right. Dr. Lavies, in answer to questions put by the Coroner, said that they had had several cases of cholera in the prison since the last jury sat, but the treatment, with the ex ception of this case, had been most successful. The) had had 17 cases and seven deaths, but all the patient were convalescent now. The Inspector of Prisons and Surveyors of the Sewers had inspected the sewer close by, and he understood it was now covered over. Up wards of 100 prisoners had also been removed, and the diet entirely changed, all soups being done away with. He would also suggest, at the request of the coroner and jury, that bodit s for the future should not be kept in the deadhouse till the jury saw them, but that they should be placed in an open yard for their view. The jury re turned a verdict of " Died of Asiatic cholera," The mercantile advices from Vienna of the 9th inst. state that the decree which had just been issued for the compulsory receipt throughout Hungary and the adjoining provinces of such paper issues as may be created by the Austrian authorities at Peath bad pro duced,frorn the increase of irredeemable circulation which would thus be occasioned, a further unfavourable move ment in the foreign exchanges. The rate on London had advanced to 12 8, but some reaction had afterwards taken place, and the last quotation was 12 . 4. The pre mium on gold was 29, and on silver 19 per cent. The depreciation in the note issues had of course been fol lowed by a nominal rise in the funds, and the Five per Cents, were at 93k—a quotation which in specie would be equivalent to 64i. These accounts mention that the wool market continued to rise in consequence of unfa• vourable anticipations regarding the present and future production. KIDDERMINSTER ELECTION.—The Gazette of last night contains the Speaker's notification, that he will issue his warrant for the election of a Member to servo in the present Parliament for the above borough at the end of fourteen days after the insertion of the notice (dated 13) in the London Gazette. The vine twig shows not more ingenuity as it traverses some rocky crag in search of the cool stream, at once its luxury and its life, than does our injured self-love, in seeking fa' consolation from the inevitable casttalities of fate, and the irresistible strokes of fortune. .I-Eti;a Cook's Jountal, ..;,.
