STAMPED SD. bon cured by the presence of one of the leading men of Am eica, who is only one year younger than his own country (General Mercer) ; but, notwithstanding the youth of our country, how justly proud may we be cf her At the tine of her birth she was a puny creature, sickly, feeble, diminutive. Look at her now. (Cheers.) She then col tained hut 2,500,000 people. Her popula tion is now 27,000,00(1! Her territory was then a mar gin of 'he Atlantic. It is now an immense continent! Her wead.h was then comparative poverty. Her re sources are now actually exhaustless ! (Cheers.) Her moral greatness, too, hears a fair proportion to her phy sical development. There is in her physical configura tion everything to delight the eye and exult the imagina tion ; she has the noblest mountains, the most extended lakes, the widest rivers, the richest prairies. And in harmony with this is the progre:s of her genius and of her moral principles, and the great elevation of her political maxims. (Cheers.) When Americans look back at the short period during which their country has existed up in the theatre of the world, they have, therefore, some reason to be proud—(loud cheers)—nay, I gra further, this great country, whence sprang the chief stock of the United States, has rea son to be pr )ud. In a I our great characteristics we may be sasd to resemble the people of Great Britain. We are brave—(cheers) ; we arecommercial ; we are free; and, perhaps, in some respects we transcend them in having carefully separated civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.) But resemblance of this sort, gentlemen, in stead of being the clue of harmony and union, are often the cause of difficulty and dispute. Two brave men are equally fearless of earth other; one will never yield to the other on a point of honour, and, there:Ore, they sometimes come into collision. Two merchants pur suing the same course of adventure will sometimes find their interests clash. The spirit of the press, too, which in free countries should ever be free, often brings on a state of feeling which ereqtrireft to be dealt with by the wisest and most conciliatory Measures. (Loud cheers.) It is a matter 'oreincere regret, but perhaps it is in the order of Providence, that the freest nations are not al ways the sincerest friends. (Hear, hear.) I cordial) , concurred in the first, second, and third toasts that were proposed. With regard to the second, permit me to observe that if there is one feature of the American cha racter more prominent than another, it is the heartines.i with which they receive the toast of the lady whose name is always foremost in the hearts of Englishmen. (Loud cheers.) I ask my countrymen who are ac qusinted with the universal spirit of America, who know the e.tent to which we carry our civilisation, whether we do not always drink a double bumper to the ledies in preference to the gentlemen ? (Cheers and laughter.) As to the present toast, gentlemen, I thank you for the manner in which you have received it, its •nly merit 1 e ug that it comes from William Brown, o Liverpool. (Loud cheers.) General CADWALADEB said—l am really glad, Mr. Chairman, of the opportunity of meeting my distin guished tel'ow-countrymen, whom you have invited in a quiet way to celebrate the 4th of July. You know that at home the day all rds an occasion for military display end some reference is always made to historical and statis'ical mi itary facts before the society of Cincinnati, whose oadgs I have the honour to wear--(cheer)—but I shall now coefine myself to one or two facts which may not be inappropriate er uninteresting to our friends. By the report •,t the Ordnance Department at. Washington, under the act, for arming and equipping the whole body of the militia, we return 2,566,502 free, able bodied, white male inhabitants of the age of 18 years and usder the age of 45 years subjec. to enrolment and liable to peet.irm military service. These meii, up to a certain gr ade of commission, are usually commanded by officers of their o-en choice, and it is a pleas ug commentary upon our reoional institutions to know that more than 2,000,000 men, commanded most) , by officers of their own choice, cis Wily be trusted with the national ' arms in their hands. (Cheers.) The standing army of the United Siates under the genius of our constitution cannot be large in time of peace, but an ample corps of highly eduesteil and experienced officers, mostly gradu ates cf the Wsst P int Military Academy, so en broad cast throughout the land, as the history of the Nlexican campaign will show. (Hear.) It gives me pleasure, sir, to say that I have in my eye at this moment two dis tinguished and highly accomplished gentlemen who have held prote.sorships in that military school. (Hear.) But educsti in in our country it not confined to the mi litary class. The American people at large are a helpful, instructed people, and believe that the pen is stronger than the sword. (Cheers.) Naturally left to themselves, they prize the comforts of peace, and if ever a difficulty should wise with any nation it will probably find its origin in a national characteristic. Sir, shall we say that we belong to the genus irritabile ? (Rear, and a laugh.) We are a particularly sensitive race, and we need not (among ourselves) disguise the fact that difficulty may arise front some unwise, untruthful, unchristian-like irri tation. In all kindness be it spoken, the example is be f re us ; I believe the public press in England can hold in its hand the key to the American heart. (Cheers.) My countrymen are naturally„ disposed to re.-pect them selves, and — feel kindly disposed tewariro England. Be assured, Sir, the American daughter is of hersfli s t lFlili to bare her breast te nurture and sustain her venerable parent. (Cheers.) •I am confident, if her Majesty the Queen or her Royal consort (for the Queen is a lady and the American people are a gallant people) should visit her dominions in Canada and return home through the United States, that the Royal progress would be everywhere hailed with as much respect and as much enthusiasm as would be shown by her own loyal subjects. (Loud cheers ) There is in the United States a large Conservative class who are entirely removed from the arena of politics, and I can say that these good people think that the public press in America and the public press in England can well afford to consult the national peculiarities of each other. Allow me, Sir, to propose the toast I have in my hand—" Great Britain and the United States ; frank intercourse, cor , dial friendship, and perpetual peace between them." (Drunk with immense cheering.) Mr. JOHN APGREGOII, M.P., as the representative of a great constituency which had great intercourse with inerica, proposed the health of his friend Mr. George Peabody, who was a most active promoter of that amity which ought always to exist between two nations speak ing the same language and descended from common ancestors. The toast was received with loud and prolonged cheers. Mr. PEABODY, in returning thanks for the very kind reception given to the toast, said that he was exceedingly gratified at being surrounded on that glorious day by so large a number of his countrymen and 'his English friends ; that he was most happy to witness the perfect harmony which had prevailed throughout the proceed ings of that evening : and he trusted that it ever would be so, and that his life might be spared to meet his friends on many similar occasions. (Cheers.) He had no difficulty in providing for their physical appetites, but they must look to those more capable of making speeches than himself to cater for their intellectual en jeytnents. He felt his heart was right, but he wanted the power to express in suitable language its feelings. Daring his long absence from his native country he bad formed many attachments, bus the land of his birth was always uppermost in his affections, and he would ever rejoice to call it his home. Again thanking them for their kindness, he sat down amid renewed applause, the band playing " Horne, sweet home." Mr. CORBIN, with a few appropriate remarks, then gave "Our English guests," which was drunk with all the honours, Mr. S. C. Hall replying. The next toast, " Professor Morse," whose name was associated with the wonderful improvements in the electric telegraph, having been responded to, Mr. PEABODY proposed " The Hon. Mr. Cameron, of Canada." Mr. CAMERON, in returning thanks, observed that be was happy, as a coloni-t of Great Britain in the New World, to tell them how proud the Canadians felt of Old England, and how attached they were to their So vereign —feelings which arose from the kind and fos tering band which England extended to them, and to the perfect freedom she had granted them in the manage ment of their own affairs. To the old colonies she had acted the part of a harsh stepmother ; she had coerced and chained her children down until the iron had entered into ther soul., and in their anger and despair they had broken the fetters that galled them and severed the chain that bound them. To the new colonies she had been a gentle and nursing mother, assisting them to de velope their resources, directing their energies, ailing their enterprises, and confer. ing upon them the inesti e.able boon of self government. (enters.) And mark what hail been the results; with nearly a million of people more than the old colonies possessed at the time of the Re volution, their attachment to England was steadfast and strong ; and, while the Americans always spoke, when about to visit the Old World, of "going out to Europe," it was still with the coloni s ts, when they crossed the seas, " coining home to England." (Cheers.) War had been spoken of between these islands and the continent of the West, and non e cou ld thi n k o f s uch a calamity without a shudder ; but men must not shut their eyes to the possibility of such an event, and considerations of humanity and religion must he invoked and concessions made to avert the catastrophe. (Cheers.) England could afford to concede, and the world would be spared the spectacle of the two great Protestant nations of the earth warring against each other, and wasting on the battle field those precious lives that in peace might extend re ligion and civilisation to the ends of the earth. (Cheers.) England had made Canada the anomaly of an indepen dent dependency. She allowed her to pass her own laws of trade and navigation, nay, even to make her own treaties, as witness the Reciprocity Treaty—(cheers) — which had already increased the export trade of CaT.arla 500 fold. The time might come when, in the world wide struggle -)f freedom against despotism, B ritish hands and Wearts in the colonies, from Newfoundland to Hudsou's Bay, the American lovers of liberty from Maine to the Pacific, might circle these islands of the sea to defend them with their wooden walls against the despotic Powers that desired to trample the life out of liberty, and England might owe her pr , servation as a nation to those who had sprung from her own loins. (Cheers.) The concluding toast of "The Ladies" having been given by Mr. Peabody, the company separat e d s h or tly nefore 12 o'clock, all of them highly gratified with their evening's entertainment. The national airs of the two countries were played at intervals during the evening by a very efficient band. ~. A ~ < ~,/' /J _ _~ LOIN DON, MON DA's' EVENING, ci ULY 7. 1856. THE ALLEGED POISONING AT BOLTON. In The Sun of Friday was reported a case at Bolton, in which a woman named Betsy ➢i'niullen was charged with poisoning her husband with a medicine composed of tartarised antimony and sold by drlggists, under the name of "quietness," to women who have drunken hus• bands. On Friday evening an inquest was held on the body of James WMullen (who was a flour dealer in Belton) by Mr. Taylor, coroner. Mary Ann Huttcn, deceased's servant for the last nine months, deposed that both her mistress and late master were of intemperate habits. Deceased's wife,- indeed, scarcely ever went to bed sober. Her master had drink ing bouts, which lasted in each case, three or four days. Three weeks ago Mrs. M`Mullen was very drunk, and followed her husband to the Archduke public house, in Blackburn strew, and witness accompanied her. At the house they bad a fight, and Mrs. M`Mullen threw a carving-knife and a rolling-pin at the deceased, and the knife cut his wrist. Deceased used to be unwell a City or two after drinking. His last drinking bout began on the 7th Jane, and he got well and attended to his busi ness until the 21st June, when he was so ill that he lay down on the sofa during the day, and went to bed at half-past nine at night. The next day (Sunday, the 22d June) Mr. Dorrian, surgeon, was called in in the after noon. Deceased had occasionally vomited his meals all the time witness was there, but much oftener than usual within the last three months. He was sick when he had not been ,irinking. Occasionally he got a bottle of physic from Mr. Dorrian to regulate his stomach, hut it del hi m n o g{lo,l. Witness had on several occasions seen her mistress pit a white powder into deceased's food, and her mistress often sent her out the kitchen while she was preparing the dinner. On Thursday, June 26, witnese saw her mistress mix some white powder with water, and put it into the physic bottle of the de ceased, which Mr. Dorrian had sent hie.. The deceased finished the physic, and be was very sick. On Friday last Mr.. M`Mullen put some white powder in some tea, and she then sent witness with it to. the deceased. The witness gave him part of it, and the remainder she put into a bottle and sent to Mr. D•xrian. On the same day she saw a glass of medicine in the; pantry, and she geve a portion of it to Mr. Dorrian. On the night when they were at the Archduke public-houße the witness had to undress her mietress and put her to bed, w;ien she found in her pocket a paper containing white powder, some of which she afterwar is gave to Mr. Dorrian's man. Mr. J. Dorrian, sturgeon, stated that he had known the deceased several years, and during that time had octt sienally prescribed for him. In April lest, and again in May, deceased complained of being sick after eating, and of a burning pain in his stomach. On Sunday, the 22d June, , about six o'clock in the evening, the witness was sent for to the house of the deceased, and he found him sitting in the kitchen. He appeare i very weak, and seemed to be suffering from indigestion. He com plained of being sick after eating ; and the witness pre scribed for him, and afterwards attended lion until Wed nesday morning last, when he died. The medicine the witness prescribed had not the effect he intended. Every morning the deceased complained of having been sick during the night, but he never saw him when he was sick. He appeared to be wasting away. The witness then deposed to the appearances presented at the post mortela , examination, and added that there was no ap pearance of natural disease to account for death. The symptoms and appearances were similar to those which would be caused by the excessive and improper use of tartarised antimony. Mr. H. Watson, analytical chemist, stated that he received two bottles containing medicine and tea, and bath were found to contain traces of antimony. On the Ist of July' he received three bottles from Mr. Dorrian, containing urine, in which he found decided traces of antimony. On the 2d of July he received from Mr. Harris seven bottles and five jars. One of the bottles was labelled " Urine," and in that he found strong traces of antimony. The jars contained a portion of the liver and kidney, and in each he found traces of antimony—but the strongest in the liver. Mr. James Rowland Simpson, druggist and grocer, Deansgate, stated that he was in the habit of selling emetic powders, composed of tartarised antimony and cream of tartar. The powders contained four or five grains of antimony. He kept them ready made up, and without any written or printed direc tions for use. When he sold any he usually told the purchaser to be very careful of it, and to divide each powder into four or five doses. The powthrs were sold at ld. sac% He (witness) knew Mrs. M'Mullen from being a customer at his shop. She pur chased groceries, but he did not remember that he ever served her himself. The emetic powders were called "quietness." Women always came for the powders, and they usually said that their husbands had been drinking. He did not remember ever selling one of these powders to a man. Mr. John Thornton, local agent for the Prince of Wales Life Insurance Company, stated that in January, 1855, the deceased insured the joint lives of himself and wife in that office, for 1001., to be payable to thrrvir-i vivor on the death of either of them. The Coroner then summed up the case to the jury, pointing out the various bearings of the evidence. .Adnwiriofadituiter:hdi, delivered ryhi g as ei of i:ininti f ho o i se r notQc 2 tfrcho s enaldsi minutes, they returned into court that obt w nyh i ee n d g hdiose v re e e r waa d cis i f c ceede t , : e — Dßraai l tr l iesi N de V elyb e yi‘,N a ii r a t it u uiumi u ili a eaten n ir i ys - ; and we also expre ss o ur di• a pp ro b a ti on of the indiscri• inmate dispensing of sueli medicines." Mrs. M‘Mullen was then committed, upon the coroner's warrant, for trial at the assizes. Naval and Military Intelligence.

On Friday last a sumptuous dinner was given by Mr. Peabody, at the Star and Garter, Richmond, t) upwards of 100 American and a few English gentlemen, in com memoration of the 80th anniversary of the declaration of the independence of the United States. The grand dining ball was fitted up for the occasion with busts of the Queen and of Washington, the A.nericen eagle, the standards of England and of the United States, and other appropriate decorations. Mr. Peabody took the chair shortly after 7 o'clock, supported on the right by the American Minister Mr. alias, and on the left by Mr. W. Brown, M.P. Mr.-Stell, of Manchester ; Mr. Morgan, of London ; Mr. Somerby, of B iston, United States ; Mr. P. N. Dallas, Secretary of Legation ; and Mr. Croskey, United States' C msul at Southampton, acted as vice-presidents. Mr. John Macgregor, M.P., Mr. S. C. Hall, and Mr. J. E. Jones, the scu!ptor, were among the English guests. After the removal of the cloth, Mr. PEABODY rose and said—Your Excellency and Gentlemen,--I am now about to pass, in the common acceptation of the phrase, " the loving cup." But I have before we two cups, the one of British fabric, the other of my native oak, presented to me several years since by my esteemed friend M. Francis Pet 4 .sody, who is now present. Before passing these cups anew me to -ay a word or two with respect to the 'ley in connection with myself. The first dinner I gave in c imtneemretion f the 4th of July, 1776, was in this hall in 1850, and I was then, as now, honoured by the preesuee of the American Minister, of a large party of :ny own country men, and of several English friends, s one of wit en it is my happiness to see around nee to-day. That experi ment proved successful, and in 1851, in consequence of the large number of my countrymen who Caine over to visit the Great Exhibition, I determined en substitutive for the dinner a concert and ball. A few of my e un trymen endeavoured to dissuade me freer the attempt to bring Englishmen anti American's together such an occasion ; but the acceptance of the Duke of Welling ton put an end to my doubts, and a thousand happy faces, at Almack'e, on the 4th of July, 1851, sealed my success—(cheers)—and, I trust, broke down the assumed barrier to the union of Englishmen and Ameri cans in celebrating this glorious anniversary, never again to be erected. (Cheers.) This is the seventh year that I have had the honour of presiding on these occasions over an assembly of English gentlemen residing at home and abroad, and my own countrymen from almost every State in the Union, and I ant happy to say I have never heard, and I trust and confidently believe I never shall hear, a word uttered by any speaker calculated to dis turb in the slightest decree the harmonious feelings of my guests. (Cheers.) For 20 years, gentlemen, I have not been out of this kingdom, but during that titse I have closely watched the progress of toy country and my countrymen ;,and, following the fashion a; home, I have erected in a very humble way nay" platferm" here —a platform of peace and g ood -will tea•arae all men, which I feel assured will be supported by my guests to-day... (Loud cheers.) I know no party—no North,' no South—but teat which includes our whole country. (Cheers ) But to return, gentlemen, to the c ups ; these cups of love and peace, the one of British fashion, the other of our American oak, filled from the same fountain of gond cheer, I send one to the East and the other to the West, and when they meet in the circling bound may they pass with the touch of friendship. (Cheers.) The two cups were then passed round, Mr. Peabody drinking to the guests from each State of the Union separately, and afterwards to those from " Old England and her Colonies." Mr. PEABODY, in proposing the first toast, "The day we celebrate,"called r ot only upon his own countrymen, but upon all who were friendly to the sacred cause of liberty and civilisation, to do honour t s the memories of those great men who had pledged their fortunes, their honour, and their lives to support that cause. The toast was received with loud acclamations. Mr. PEABODY claimed a bumper for the next toast, which, he was sure, needed no speech from him to re commend it. The toa-t he had just proposed was the only one to which he would have given precedence over the present. • He had never yet known an American who would not drink the toast of "Her Majesty the Queen" with as much enthusiasm as the most loyal of her subjects. The toast was drunk with enthusiastic cheering. Mr. PEABODY said he should next have the pleasure of proposing a toast in honour of the chief magistrate of the land of his birth, which he was sure would be received both with the respect eto that gentleman's high position and with the feelings of eethusiasm that all Americans must feel f, et the country over which he had been called to preside. (Cheers.) He gave "The President of the United States," which was received with great applause. Captain MeoseseeroN, R.N., in proposing the next toast, thanked their host, the merchant prince, who had entertained them in so princely a manner—(cheers) — for the efforts he had made to cultivate relations of friend ship between John Bull and Brother Jona( ban. (Cheers.) Every right feeling Englishman must be proud and happy to assist at the celebration of the tuitional festival of the United States. They all, too, reverenced the • memory of the illustrious Washington, who had been selected by the great Disposer of events as an instru ment for carrying out a great purpose, (Cheers.) One proof of that great man's wonderful prevision was his assertion that, within 50 years, more than 500 persons I per diem would leave the Old World to seek prosperity in the New. (Hear.) He had stood on the wharf at New York, and seen 10,000 people from the Old World land there in one day. (Cheers.) Four years ago he had travelled on horseback from Michigan to the Mis sissippi without meeting with a living soul. Three years afterwards he had traversed the same country along goon roads, and had seen golden harvests waving in the fields. (Hear.) In the course of that three years a country as large as England had been occupied and cul tivated. Captain Mackiunon concluded by proposing "The Memory of Washington," which was drunk stand ing at a. in silence. Mr. W. BROWN, M P.. said—Before proposing the toast which has been placed in my hands, permit ins to congratulate you on meeting you to cele brate a day which will ever be remembered in the history of the world—a day from which we, the subjects of her Majesty, have derived as much advantage as you, the citizens of the United States. (Cheers.) We are not answerable for the sins of states manship, for the grievous errors of our forefathers; and your illustrious Washington—wise in the Senate, skilful in the field—who must for ever live in your hearts, is also remembered with profound respect by England as well as by the whole of the civilised world. (Cheers ) How rejoiced would he be, were he living at this moment, to see the prosperity of the country which he may be said to have brought into existence, to see the enterprising spirit of his countrymen leading them, now to make a communication between two great oceans—the Pacific and the Atlantic— now to bridge over lofty rocks, and now to explore the perilous Arctic seas. (Cheers.) I deny that England feels any jealousy towards the United States ; we rejoice in your prosperity, we have wisdom enough to know that by the prosperity of other nations, particularly as regards the United States, we are as much beuefitted as they are. (Cheers.) The notion that the fortunes of one country arise from the misfortunes of arm' her is, I trust, by this time exploded. True, some slight differences exist now between us, but when we find gentlemen like his Excellence, for whom we all f ee l t h e deepest respect, and the Minister with reborn he has to negotiate, anxious to get rid of those differences, there can be little doubt that they will soon be amicably ad justed. (Cheers.) I beg to propose "The health of his Excellency the American Minister," whose character stands so pre-eminently high both in his own and in this country. The toast was drunk with loud cheers. Mr. DALLAS—It is extremely difficult, amid expres sions of so much personal kindness, not to lose sight for a moment of the great national demonstration on ac count of which we are assembled, amid I return you my most hearty thanks for the personal compliment you have paid to me. I r,-j ice to find in this ant so many ardent and patriotic Americans met to celebrate the an niversary of our independence. (Loud cheers.) We are, las a country, but 80 years of age ; we are at this moment BOP lIV TB -LIC If, IV OE. MAIDSTONE.—In many of the grounds around Maid. stone the hyps are not so healthy as could be wished ; this is evinced by the slam tness of the bine, and the very great number of jumpers, which have much retarded their growth. There are, however, exceptions, and in some places the hop grounds in the vicinity of the town are in capital condition, and the midsummer, shoot growing most luxuriantly. ASHFORD.—The bops in this neighbourhood have greatly improved within the last few days. They have in most grounds reached the top of the poles, and the fly has very much decreased. BARMING —We have many weak and platty grounds in this neighbourhood, where the bine is uneven and of poor colour. The warm weather has had a good effect upon the hops generally, and a continuance is very de sirable. Our strong grounds are improving. BEARSTEAD.—Our hop grounds are improving, the bine gets stronger, and the leaf is of better colour. We find vermin at places. BOXLEY.—In this parish we have to notice an improve ment in the hop garden, the weak bine gets stronger ; out we are not altogether clean, although we have but little vermin. CRANBROOK.—The bine has been rapidly progressing during the past month, and the hops will yield about half la.t year's growth. GODDHURST.--SinCe our last report the bine has pro gressed amazingly ; there is a slight increase of lice, though not to any serious extent. Should the weather long continue as favourable as at present there must be a large crop. ITARMELD AND Win:MM.—The hops in this neigh' bourhood are growing rapidly ; and, though a good deal of vermin may be seen in all the gardens, the young shoots do not seem to be injured. HORSMONDEN.—Our hop bine continues in a very thriving state, and is looking very luxuriant. The back ward bine is making great improvement. The fly has entirely disappeared. KE3ISING.--We are getting very foul indeed ; worse every day. ADMISSION OF DISSENTERS TO TELE UNIFERSITY.

( Prom the Medical Times 027 d Gh TWO INSTANCES OF TETANIC SYMPTOMS CAUSED BY ANTI MONY ; AND PROOFS OF THE GREAT POWER OF THIS MEDICINE OVER CROUP; WITH SOME REMARKS UPON THE MURDER OF JOHN PARSONS COOL BY JOHN ELLIOTSON, M.D., CANTAB., F.R.S.I &c., CONDUIT-STREET. There cannot, I presume, be a reasonable doubt that Wm. Palmer murdered John Parsons Cook with poison; that Cook died with tetanic symptoms, induced by what Palmer had administered ; nor that antimony had beea so administered. Several circumstances render it highly probable that strychnine also was given by Palmer to Cook; such as the perfect coincidence of the tetanic symptoms with the known effects of strychnine, the pur cbase of strychnine by Palmer during Cook's illness jus t before each of the two attacks of tetanic symptoms ; the purchase of double the quantity before the sec , nd and tatal attack 'hat he had purchased before the first attack which had passed away ; the absence of explanation by Palmer of what had become of the strychnine which he had purchased ; and, with the world at large, the belief general in the profession that antimony never occasions the tetanic symptoms witnessed." On the.ocher hand no trace of strychnine was detected after Cook's death; and Pal mer, though not denying that he had poisoned Cook, firmly denied to the last that strychnine had been the means of death. These two circumstances, however, may be in sufficient to justify a doubt that he had administered strychnine. I will now communicate from my own practice two cases whir h prove that tetanic symptoms may arise from antimony. On the 31 of April, 1850, I was requested by a medi cal gentleman, re-iding in Saville-row, to see the child, 14 months old, of a mistress needlewoman in Princes street, Haymarket, labouring under a first attack of in flammatory croup, which he had been treating for 3 days with solely the potassio.tartrate of antimony. He had edven 27 grains. 11 , e first dose was half a grain, an he stayed two hours repeating this and watching ifs effects till two grans had been swallowed, full vomit ing excited, and relief obtained. He then left the house, directing that a tea-spoonful of antimonial wine—a quarter of a grain of the tartarate—should be given every four hours till his next visit, as long as the difficulty of breathing and croupy sounds were noticed. These returned repeatedly, but never so alerniingly as they hart been previously, and next a dose of half a grain was administered continually, both be• day and night. By the fourth day, April 3, when 21 grins had been taken, the disease was very much alle d ; Irut the vomiting had been profuse, there had been t tanic symptom, and the depression was extreme ,-: inasmuch that the gentleman, who had made long and repeated visits every day, became very anxious, and de sired my opinion. The arms and legs had been rigid, the f eerier half bent ; the hands and feet turned in wards ; the thumbs drawn upon the palms ; the head drawn backwards, and to one side ; the jaw closed so that fluids could be introduced at the sides only, and the for,.iible use of a spoon ; and, though this condition was permtnent for three days and nights, and alter all vomit ing had ceased, there were catchings of the whole frame, and every attempt to move the child had ag gravated the spasms. Consciousness was never lest. When I first visited the patient all those symptoms h-td subsided, the disease was greatly reduced, and debility was the chief point in the case. I said that such activity of treatment was new to me ; that I had never give antimony to children under croup except in doses just sufficient to excite nausea and frequent vomit ing ; but that I had always been very unsuccessful iu my treatment of such eases of strongly inflammatory croup, even with the addition of loss of blood and large quantities of mercury, which acted too slowly to have great power over the disease, though cases of a purely or chiefly ima•modic nature yielded for the most part readily ; that I made it a rule never to interfere with treatment which was proving successful, notwithstanding it was new to me, an. perhaps not in perfect accordance with my notions. The gentletn -n inform, me that I gave a very decided opinion that the child would recover, that the treatment had saved its life, and that if the symptoms of croup returned, they should be combated agaio with the free but careful exhibition of antimony. I well rec,dlect he to'd ins at the time that he had feared I should oppl44e the further use of the medicine in any circumstances. The child recovered with no further treattn , nt . ., and is now a fine boy, nearly seven years and a half old. This gentleman was led to treat the case so freely witk art mony, he said, by having once been euccessfui in such a cae with similar treatment put in practice ui-iinten tionally. He had lost three children in one family by croup, and one of these I attended with him, after Dr. R. Lee hat seen, it, and I know that loss of blood, mer cury, and atitimone• were carried es far as prudee oe jesefied. -A fourth child, the youngest of all, was seized with inflammatory symptoms in this throat, chile tihe eldest was being treat , d with antimony f , r its fatal croup. By mistake the youngest had the medicine in tended for the eldest, and quickiy recovered, after great vomiting and depression ; symptoms of croup showed themselses ultimately, but very mildly. He remarked to his assistant that, when be had another case of croup, he would treat it with such doses of antimony as had proved successful in this instance. A year afterwards the same child bad croup again, and, through the negligence of the friends in not giving the antimony as directed was nit so treated, and it died. On Feb. 15, 1852, I was summoned by the same gentle. eeeneS neailtaropettltweith him upon the case of a baby 8 eennthe old, affected with inittrnmatory croup for the first time—the chi!d of a Welsh member of Parliament. Another child had already died of croup in Wales. Be had been called up in the night, and had begun with half grain doses of the tartrate, giving one dose every hour, and visiting the patient every two or three hours. He grew anxious, and we met in the afternoon. From my knowledge of his farmer case, I at once concurred in what be was doing, and advised a continuance of the treatment, carefully watched by him, as I knew it would he both dly and night. Seven grains were given in. 16 hours ; copious vomiting was produced ; and tetanic symptoms excited as in the first case, but not so strongly. I did not witness them. Recovery was rapid and pa r feet. No other medicine was given ; two or three leecha had been applied at the first, and a dose of calomei l ordered, hut without advantage. The assistant of this gentleman is now in practice in Warwicketreet, and three years ago called me in to see the child of a tradesman, iu Regent-street, affected with croup, and being treated by him with the large adminis tration of the potassio-tartrate of antimony that he had seen successful in the first case which I have described. He began by applying three leeches, and with the anti• mony, gave 12 minins of wine of ipecacuanha and calo mel. I first saw the child late at night, after the treat ment had been going on for twelve hours. He had given at first a quarter of a grain of the tartrate every ten minutes, and, as vomiting was not induced, be soon gave half a grain. This speedily had the effect, and it was repeated as often as the vomiting had eesused for a time. The plan was persisted in for four days, and about 32 grains of the tartrate was taken ; no tetania symptoms nor convulsions ware produced, and the child, though distressed, perfectly recovered. The ;little girl was six years old. He says I was delighted, that we both regarded the cure as splendid. and that he after wards effected exactly such another cure in a child 13 years of age, at Tornham-green, where he was then staying, and no spasms occurred. I have no doubt that I have generally failed with tar trate of antimony in violent inflammatory croup, and so nee other inflammatory diseases of children, by not carry ing the remedy far enough. Children have been _re ported to have sunk under it, and I had always feared to do mischief with it. Of the uncertainty of the antimonial powder, 136 years ago gave ample proofs to the prom fession,t and from that time have not used it. The tartrate is all that can be desired ; by regulation of the dose, it may, like the steam-engine or elephant's trunk, be employed for the most delicate or the most powerful work. In the two examples of tetanic symptoms from anti mony the patients were ,infants : one 14, the other 8 months' old. Those in whom no tetanic symptoms took place were, the one 6, the other 13, years old. Yet an enormous dose will induce tetanic symptom in children not babies, and in adults. Dr. Alfred Taylor quotes from the Lancet two cases of children, a girl three years old, and a boy five, who each swallowed a powder con taining 10 grains of the tartrate mixed with sugar. In twenty minutes they were seized with vomiting, purg ing, prostration, convulsions, and tetanic spasms. The boy died in eight hours, and the girl in thirteen. He quotes also from the Lancet the case of a man, 28 years of age, who swallowed two drachms of the tartrate in mistake for Epsom salts, and recovered ; and, besides agony, prostration, some vomiting, and great purging, had constant spasmodic contractions of all the muscles, especially those of the abdomen and upper extremities. The fingers were firmly contracted, and the muscles quite rigid. During the whole of Cook's attacks of vomiting, diarr beets, and depression, tetanic symptoms occurred till the Monday night before his death on the Tuesday night. There is no reason to suppose that strychnine had up to that time been given—to suppose that Palmer had not trusted to antimony alone in order to kill Cook. It wall cunning in him to select antimony. A soporific would have suggested foul play by the stupefaction ; Prussro acid might have given odour perceptible to th ose around ; arsenic would have been too common a poison not to have been easily detected. Antimony was the least to likely to excite suspicion or be thought of. He seems have trusted to it till he was ou t of patience,and pro bably expected to find Coo ,n k d th e e ad Mwohnednaybenriegthut. He rned to didß ug e e e y t fromgive q Londonuenti on sufficient to excite tetanic symptoms ; probably he feared to use larger quantities, lest each a dministration should produce burning pain at the stomach, be instantly followed by vomiting, and lead to certain detection of crime. There is no reason to suppose that he had any deep views of preparing the sys tem for the action of strychnine, which is potent enough without preparation, or of rendering the detection of strychnine by the chemist more difficult, which is nob known to be a fact. His course appears to have been simple enough—to attempt to murder Cook byantimony, as he probably had murdered his other vietims, and, not succeeding so soon as he anxiously desired, to resort, at the last moment, to strychnine, with which also he failed, till, on the Tuesday night, he gave it again.
