EDINNURGE, 1833. teThere are some admirable essays in this num fttadmirable not less from their spirit than ° ln the variety of their information. It also kt ,nmes a b o ld er c h aracter than has been usua l w t lth it o f l ate ; is no longer shackled by Whig %Inds, but speaks of Ministers as their inde ihdent f r i end and adviser, not their slave and /eophant.

If we do not or will not, know her weakness, Russia knows it right well. She knows that she is bound down to keep the peace, on pain of fortk;:ting Finland, Poland, the Crimea, tl►e countries bor dering on the Caucasus, and the outlying pro vinces of Turkey and Persia. The following extract deserves the reader's strict attention " Surely tbe,e are not the elements with which Europe is to be awed in the present day ? Far from it. Russia is now, and his been, ever since the accession of the Em peror Nicholas, in a critical and precarious state. She is surrounded by the smouldering vengeance of her mangled Polish provinces, in the treatment of which she calls forth the execration of mankind by her barbarities. She thus adds to the deep hatred with which the liberal nations of Europe regard her exercise of tyranny at home, and sup port of absolutism abroad. Indeed her late conduct must render the more mild and enlightened of the despotic governments half ashamed of her alliance ; and it is far from improbable that their whispered remonstrances may have called forth the late lame apology for her policy to wards Poland. Were she now, therefore, to precipitate matters in Turkey, she would lose much that she has already gained, and consign to other hands the prey which on some future occasion she hopes to make her own. We do not therefore expect that her usual wariness will so far desert her as to tempt her into a war ; but we fear that, by resorting to her wonted expedient of assuming a warlike attitude, she may be suffered to consolidate her authority in Turkey, and to obtain the recognition and the privileges of a treaty she has surreptitiously wrung from the fears and the gratitude of the Porte. At all events let her no longer be permitted to play off the Belgian question upon the patience of Europe. It has served her purposes long enough, and well enough. Under its shelter she subdued Poland. But the hour of transitory weakness is past, and our ministers may reap the recompense of the wise patience with which they have conducted our foreign relations. France and England have both happily gone through their reforms ; they are united in power, policy, and mutual esteem ; they carry with them a very large portion of the moral power of Europe, and no small share of its physical force. The keys of mighty events are in their hands. Possessing this commanding strength, it behoves them to use it with temperance, certainly, but with firmness also. Authority, as well as other things, can make herself wings and flee away. She remains longest with those who best know how to use her. At present she is with the liberal side of the world; and it would seem that by the use of a firm tone, the aggressions and intrigues of the opposite party may loa checked, and war most effectually averted by looking it steadily in the face." " Baron d' Haussez's Views of Great Bri tain" is a satirical notice of a work recently pub lished by a Bourbon emigrant, who betrays in every line of his production undeniable evidence of spleen and dyspepsia. Just expelled from France, it was not to be expected that the Ex- Minister of Marine would take pen in hand with any disposition to look on the sunny side of things. Accordingly he has dtscovered that Englishmen have no taste, no refinement, be cause they will not cram their rooms with look ing glasses, and jabber " soft nothings" at the rate of ten knots an hour. The Reviewer does this testy old Baron justice. But the best article in the number is unquestionably the one on " Horace Walpole's Letters to Sir Horace Mann." From the terseness—the fire—the brilliancy, and the perfect knowledge of the times that this Essay exhibits, we can have no hesita tion in assigning it to the pen of Mr. Macauley. The characters of the two Walpoles, father and son—of Lord Carteret, and of the Duke of Newcastle, are master-pieces of composition, and as finely discriminated as anything in Cla rendon, of whom the Member for Leeds is clearly a staunch admirer. MEE THE ATHENA'UM. In the Athenaeum of this day, we find the first of a series of essays on English and foreign literature during the last fifty years, from the pen of Mr. Allan Cunningham. We have been able to cast but a very slight, cursory glance over it, but that glance has sufficed to convince us that it contains many shrewd, eloquent, criti cal touches. It is a fact worthy of remark, says M. Jardine that in almost every instance of torture to be traced during the period in which he lived, the name of Sir Edward Coke, the lawyer and patriot, who in his writings inveighs so strongly against the practice, is found either in a commission to execute this barbarous process, or as a Privy Counsellor to recommend it. A tradesman in one of the principal streets at the west end of the town. announces in large characters in his window, that be has for sale, among other delicacies, one whie•h he calls " Confiture de Bar," which, though it really means nothing more than white currant jelly, has puzzled several gentlemen of the long robe exceedingly. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.— Jervis Howard, aged 22, a native of Staffordshire, but now living as waiter at the George the Fourth Inn, in Portwood, was placed in the dock at our Court Room, on Saturday last, before Captain Humphreys, charged with obtaining money under false pretences, namely, in re ceiving a sovereign and a half from Miss Mary Axon, under the promise of marriage and to buy a license, and which promise he had broken. The prosecutrix, a denture and innocent-looking young woman, stated her complaint in an artless manner, and with the most apparent simpli city. But, alas ! all this show of simplicity would not stand the test of examination, as will appear from the fol lowing laconic dialogue between her and Mr. William Vaughan, the prisoner's advocate, upon her cross-exami nation :—Pray, Miss Acton, when was it you gave the prisoner this money ?—Last Monday night. Where did you meet with him ?—ln Portwood. Where did you take him ?—To the Rose and Crown, Market-place. You had something to drink, of course ?—Yes. Where did you go next ?—lnto the Chestergate. To another public house ?—Yes. And you had more to drink ?—Yes. And you had, I dare say, a snug little supper togeth-r ?—Yes. And probably you stayed with him all night?—Yes, he forced me. What, did he lock you up?—No. Then he held you fast and would not part with you till morning? —Yes. Have you ever bad any children 7—That has nothing to do with this case. Oh, has it not ? you are now, young lady, upon your character; now tell me, have you not had a child ?—Yes, but he is not the father. No ! then you have had several lovers. Now, have you not had a second child ?—Yes, but he is not the father. And after all this, the prisoner won't marry you ?—No. Mr. William Vaughan—Poor Mary, what a pearl of great price my client has thrown away; but, perhaps, "second thoughts are best." Captain Humphreys—The case is dismissed ; let the prisoner be discharged, Cuough he thought his conduct highly censurable. The disappointed damsel retired with a sigh for her double loss. THE LATE SEIZURE AT THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—FURTHER PARTICULARS.-The extraor dinary excitement which, during the whole of Thursday, prevailed throughout the borough of Marylebone, in con sequence of the seizure of the goods of Mr. Savage, pro prietor of the Mechanics' Institution, for arrears of assessed taxes, is fast subsiding, and the vicinity of Circus street is now nearly as tranquil as; heretofore. On the above evening a strong detachment of the police was on the spot, having been directed to proceed thither for the purpose of carrying away the fragments of the van, which tell a sacrifice to the furious and violent conduct of the mob. The task was performed without any interruption from the bystanders, who were a great many in number. Soon after the se:zure was made by Hemp, the officer, by virtue of the Exchequer process, Mr. Savage proceeded to the office of Mr. Sheriff Harmer, in Red Lion-square, and related to hint what had taken place, when lie (Mr. Harmer) expressed great surprise, and asserted th it he had not even heard of the steps which had been taken until a quarter of an hour previously, neither was his signature affixed to the warrant upon which the officers had acted. Mr. Savage did not, as erroneously stated in some of the pipers, say, after the goods had been brought back in the van, that he was willing to give them up, as he refused, though strongly solicited by the mob, to re ceive them ; on which refusal they were conveyed to an opposite warehouse, and, as it appeared, were subsequently removed in the course of the day, he knew not whither. We have not heard of any other seizures having, under a similar process, been made. HAY 31AttKET8.—( At per Loa of 36 Trusses.) CUMBERLAND. Supply moderate, and trade dull; prices as last quoted.

TITHE SYSTEM. A respectable farmer, residing near Ickham, had a small piece of hop ground, on which the parish levied tithe in kind. The farmer, instead of employing the usual number of pickers, sets on three baskets only, the parson is obliged to employ a man to watch over his tenth. The process occupies several days, during which his reverence has to pay for a n oast and m en to d ry t h e h ops, at an expense very consi derably exceeding the value of his tithes. This is certainly an excellent mode to convert clergymen into repealers of the tithe 14 w.. —..Maidstone Gazette. ANTI-CORN LAW SOCIETY. For some time a number or respectable indivi duals in Snenton have contemplated the establish ing of a society, whose primary object should be to acquire and diffuse information illustrative of the corn laws, in order to accelerate the arrival of that period when the public should be so enlightened on this vital subject, in all its relative bearings, as to oblige those who advocate the cause of dear bread, to relinquish their selfish views for the public good ; the remarks in the Times, an extract of which ap. peared in this paper last week, has aroused them to a sense cf the necessity and importance of putting their intentions into execution without any further delay; conceiving it to be a duty they owe to them selves and their families, and to posterity, to employ their best exertions in endeavouring to remove laws which press so heavily and injuriously on all grades of society, excepting those perhaps who possess landed property, it is a subject in which every shade o political opinion may amalga mate, and the prejudices of party merge, in seeking to promote the accomplishment of an object so conducive to the permanent welfare of the whole community. A meeting was held on Monday night at Mr. Hardy's, the sign of the Windsor Castle, New Snenton, Mr. Olive Moore in the chair, who introduced the business of the evening with some very judicious remarks, explanatory of the objects of the society, and the advantages it would 'pro duce; it would lead to the formation of similar institutions in other places, all tending to the same point, and thus strengthen the cause they have espoused, by insuring the co-operation of all who wish the repeal of the obnoxious imposts; and as the great political questions, which have for so many years agitatA the people of this country, and absorbed their attention, are now disposed of, this seems a proper time for taking up the subject of the corn laws, when they can be calmly and de liberately discussed; others gave their sentiments on the subject before the meeting, all concurring us to its paramount importance, and the necessity of acting with promptitude and vigour in the cause. —ln this preliminary stage of the business, those present unanimously resolved to form themselves intu a society, to be called an " Anti Corn Law Society, for the purpose of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge on the subject."—Further, that others persons favourable to these views be re spectfully invited to become members; and that another meeting should take place next Monday night, at the Windsor Castle, New Snenton, at seven o'clock in the evening; afterwards the society to meet monthly, and the expenses to be defrayed by a small subscription.—Nottingham Review. RAMSGATE, OCT. 21. The wind has changed, and the rough weather has subsided, so mach so, that many of the outward bound vessels in the Downs have got under weigh, and are now proceeding on their voyages. This place is quite gay to•day, in consequence of its being so fine, and every body who can crawl being on the pier to witness a salute of 21 guns from Sir W. Curtis's yacht, in commemoration of the birth of a Baronet in embryo—i. e. an heir to his eldest son. A supper was last night given on the occasion to all the harbour men on board the yacht, and to-day his flagstaff is embellished by a display of all the flags he can muter. The Baronet himself is so much liked here that every one seems to rejoice at the event. The wonder here is how a man with eighteen children living can calculate on making an heir of a grandson, at a period when property and titles are threatened with extermination. There have been several meetings of the principal in habitants of this place, to endeavour to esta blish a steam-boat to run between Ramsgate and Calais, and more than 4,0001. was sub scribed instanter. There can be no doubt of its success, as there are steamers here daily from the metropolis, which is not the case at Dover, and this mode of travelling has now become so general that it will be preferred to the coaches. Besides being a great accommodation and convenience to visiters here, the great advantages which this har bour possesses over Dover must render its success certain. This was fully proved in the late gales, as within the last week no less than four steamers from Calais and Boulogne, bound to Dover, came in here at low water, not being able to get into Dover; and even yesterday an open boat to Diver, with the French mail, came in here after trying for Dover. Two Dutch ships, one from Bitavia and the other from Surinam, have taken shelter and remained here for the last week. They are now preparing to go out. At one period within the last 10 days, there were nearly 150 French fishing-boats sheltered in the harbour. They came over in crowds for the herrings which appear first on our coast. Between Margate and Ramsgate the sea was covered with their boats, and although our fishermen would not be allowed the same privilege on the French coast, they were permitted to remain unmolested, and yesterday a great number sailed with full cargoes, to the great detriment of our hardy tars. Mr, Gibson's splendid yacht the Therese, of 120 tons, set sail this day from hence for London, and for some miles ran a race with the City of London steamer, which steamed out of the harbour at the same time with a huge cargo of visiters of both sexes. There are two or three fine vessels from the Mediterranean, laden with fruit, cruising off the mouth of the harbour under• the quarantine flag. The late Sir H. Goodericke's yacht, which he be queathed to Mr. Holyoake, was off the mouth of the harbour yesterday. She is small, but a very pretty vessel. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT). Supposing it may be a matter of interest to you, I hand you a slight notice of the dinner which was given yesterday to Lord Durham, at Gateshead. Mr. Attwood intruded upon his Lordship with the Address in a most ungentlemanly manner; but the company interfered, and Mr. Attwood, and two or three of his friends who had come into the room prepared for the company previous to the din. ner, went out apparently with general appro bation. Mr. Attwood and some of his party continued for some time haranguing in the street, and rendered it very difficult for the party who were to dine to reach the house where the dinner was to be given, which was on the other side of the way. Indeed some of the dishes were considerably da maged in their passage, and a rabbit stolen by some of the mob. The dinner was chiefly remarkable for the declaration of Lord Durham respecting his retiring from the Ministry. He read to the com pany (upwards of one hundred) the letter of his resignation of the Privy Seal, which showed that he had retired solely from illness consequent upon the deaths which had taken place in his family. His Lordship expressed himself quite willing to take place with the present Ministry whenever his Ma jesty might require his services. Mr. Rippon, who was in the Chair, declared that he had opposed the Ministry upon the grant of compensation to the slave-owners. Towards the conclusion of the dinner, Lord Dur ham, after proposing the memory of the late James Loch, Esq., observed, at considerable length, upon the great difficulties with which the present Go vernment had had to contend, and the general feel ing of the meeting was highly favourable to them. Speeches were made by Messrs. Hed worth, Lamb ton, Sir H. Williamson, Mr. Inglam, W. H. Ord, and some other gentlemen of consequence in the neighbourhood, all tending to show a high feeling in favour of the present Administration. The opi- Dion of all who were at the dinner (and it was most respectably attended) was, that it would have a great effect in strengthening the Cabinet. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. D. L. Cohen and J.

INNATE VICIOUSNESS.—Yesterday a young woman, who lives in one of a row of cabins off Amiens street, heard moans issuing from a room in the adjoining one, where an old woman lay bed-ridden. Hastening to her neighbour's door she found it locked, and smoke issuing through the chinks. On calling to the poor granny within, to learn the cause of her uneasiness, she was answered, ,6 That little villain, Jemmy, was left alone with me, and he put all the straw he could get under my bed, and set it on fire, and then locked me up here to be burned alive." The good. natured young woman instantly ran after ' 6 the little villein," whom she then remembered to have seen passing by some minutes before with a key in his hand, and caught him at some distance, as he was hastening from the scene of mischief. She seized the ke ! . from him, and hurried back just in time to unlock the dmo and release the aged sufferer, leaving the unnatural brat (only seven years old) Eluitting and kicking, in the middle of Anniens-street, roaring at the top of his voice, in all the impotenc e o f baffled rage, at being deprived of the pleasure of burning his grandmother alive. Fortunately the straw was damp, and did not blaz-, or he might have succeeded ere her kind neighbour could have liberated his paralysed victim, who, as it was, was half suffocated by the smoke. We happened to pass at the time the key was wrested from the grasp of the precocious incendiary, and, as we saw hi m toss h i mself down upon the paveme nt in au agony of spite, and stood looking down into his open screaming throat, while every feiture was black with dirt and passion, we could not help feeling that he w as the ugliest lit t l e b east we ever b e b e ld.--saunders s News Letter, COACH ACCIDENTS. A most alarming accident happened, on Tuesday evening, to the Birmingham and Leicester mail, on its Hay to Stamford. In ascending the hill on the eastern side of the village of Whitwell, near Oak ham, the coach was met in a very narrow part of the road by two carriers' carts from Stamford ; and owing to the darkness of the night, and to the mail's not having the lamps lighted, so violent a collision took place between the coach and one of the carts that the leaders of the mail broke away, and the coachman (Rowland Berkeley) was thrown from the box. The wheel horses were frightened, and pursued their route at full speed, to the great terror of three outside passengers (a lady and two gentle men), who successively jumped from the coach, and (strange to say) were not seriously hurt. The guard (Collis) dismounted as well as he was able, and, in a short time, succeeded in catching the two leaders, upon which he and one of the passengers pursued coach ; they were not, however, able to overtake it before it got to Stamford, a distance of seven miles, over the most dangerous road in this part of the country. There were only two inside passen gers, ladies, the wife and the sister of one of the gentlemen who had jumped from the roof of the coach : they were for some time unconscious of their situation, and passed through the town of Emping ham (where there are two bad turnings) and down the deep declivity of Shacklewell-ford, before they were aware that the horses had no driver. At length the coach approached the tremendous steep descent of the road into Stamford; and just as it rushed down the hill, the Express Leeds coach, from London, which had changed horses in St. Martin's, reached the top of Scotgate, and the coachman (Rushby) was astonished at the rate at which the Leicester mail was approaching the point where the Oakham road diverges from the Great North Road. He loudly called out to Berkeley, as he supposed, to avoid running over him ; but in the next instant, with all the violent impetus acquired from the steep descent, the mail came on the broad side of the Express, and the pole of the former coach was forced through the boot of the latter, and pene trating upwards struck the cushion on which Rushby was sitting on the box, and precipitated him vio lently to the ground. The shock of the two coaches was tremendous—one valuable horse of the mail, belonging to Mr. Whincup, was killed on the spot, its head being dashed to pieces, and one of the Ex press horses, belong to Mr. Betts, had a thigh frac tured, and was killed in consevence as soon as at tentian could be given to the situation of the poor animals. The first call for relief was the two ladies in the mail, who were almost dead from alarm—it was some time before they could be sufficiently composed to be induced to alight, and to get into a carriage which was promptly provided, for taking them to the George Inn. They were Mrs. Harrison, the wife of A. Harrisson, Esq., of Holbeach, and her sister, Miss Ullett. Happily they had sustained no personal injury; and in a few minutes Mr. Harris son came up, also unhurt, on one of the horses which had broken away from the coach. There were then tidings of all the persons except the coachman (Berkeley); and as on the first shock he had been thrown amongst the horses, great fears were entertained that he was seriously hurt. In as short a - time as possible, Mr. Jackson, surgeon, ac companied by Mr. Whincup and Mr. Harper, set off in a post-chaise on the Oakham road to find him : unfortunately, to add to the calamities of the night, on approaching the White Horse Inn at Empingham the chaise was overturned, and Mr. Jackson was very severely cut about the head ; the other gentlemen also were a good deal injured. At the White Horse, Berkeley was found : he had been stunned by the fall from the coach, but had been able to make his way on foot from Whitwell to Empingham, where he is now confined from the effects of the accident. Providentially none of the passengers by the Express coach were injured by the collision of the mail, and after about half an hour's delay the Express proceeded on its route for Leeds. Mr. and Mrs. Harrisson and Miss Ullett, who were returning from a tour, and had travelled from Leicester on Tuesday, remained in Stamford till Wednesday afternoon, and then set out on their way home to Holbeach. The Mediterranean packet has brought us the following account of a recent survey made of the Volcanic Island, which, in 1831, rose from the sea between the islands of Pantalaria and Sicily :—" The Vole inic Island, which has ceased to appear in the canal of Malta, has left in the same place a dangerous shoal of an oval figure, about three-fifths of a mile in extent, having its longest diameter in the direction from S.S.E. to N.N.W, and being something Ice , . in size than the base of the island itself when visible. The upper surface is composed prin cipally of black stones, and some of a darkish yellow, exactly like those observed round the crater of the volcano, with a sprinkl ng of sand here and there. In the centre is a black rock of the diameter of about 26 fathoms, over which there are 11 feet of water, with the exception of two points in the line from N.E. to S.W., which have a depth of only nine feet. At the distance of 60 fathoms from the central mass, there are two and a half, three, four, five, and six fathoms water, the depth of which increases with the distance. At 75 fathoms from the S.W. of the central rock, there is a small detached rock vith 15 feet water over it. In every direction around this (linger the depth is great. Neither the barrel placed there by Captain Swinburne, in 1832, and which could scarcely make any resistance, nor the discoloured water observed by him, are any longer to be seen.

Sir,—As I have resided several years in India, in the vicinity of Juggernaut's temple, where the ravages of the cholera morbui are frequently very appalling, I shall be happy to give you inforrria ion respecting the treatment of this disease which has fallen under my observation. Permit me first to extract a very interesting article from the Asiatic Journal, June, 1831. " Mr. S. Hope, surgeon of his Majesty's hos pital-ship Canada, states the following mode of cure for the cholera morbus, which he has employed for more than thirty years with uniform success." He thus describes the complaint : " The disease is induced by causes too well known, and shows itself at first by violent pains from the stricture of the gall duct, and is afterwards kept up by the irritability of the bowels, brought on by the excoriation of the internal coat, from the acrid or scalding nature of the bile when first expelled the gall-bag. This irritation keeps op the disease till nature recovers or sinks. I never use calomel, because I have a more certain, safe, and speedy remedy, that produces an almost instantaneous relief. Calomel relieves by inducing I more copious secretion of mucus to defend the membrane from excessive irritation, where it suc ceeds; whilst theremedy I recommend affords a tone of firmness to the membrane, a smoothness of sur face that defends it from the action of the bile, and removes excessive irritation. By this means the disease goes off as soon as the gall-bladder is emp tied of its excessive irritative contents, which is very soon accomplished, as from three to five or six doses complete the cure." The following proof is ad ,lneed " I was surgeon of the Dolphin in the year 1825; from July 17 to 26 I had 264 cases of cholera, from which, with the exception of 16 being kept under treatment for three days, four patients demanding attention for four days, and three for five days (except one who had been previously ill), every p ttient was restored within the space of 50 hours. 1 persuaded the chief mate to take a dose of the remedy before the healthy part of the ship's corn p my, to induce them to follow his example; they all complied, and, to the best of my recollection, not one of them had occasion to trouble me from illness. " The remedy I gave was one drachm of nitrous acid (not nitric), one ounce of peppermint water or camphor mixture, and 40 drops of tincture of opium. A. fourth part every three or four hours in a cup ful of gruel. The belly should be covered with a succession of hot cloths, dry; bottles of hot water to the feet, if they can be obtained; constant and small sippings of finely strained gruel, or sago, or tapioca;—no spirit, no wine, no fermented liquors till quite restored." Another method of treating this alarming disease is the following, communicated to me while at Se rampore from a missionary in Calcutta, in Septem ber, 1825. He states, "Not one has died out of 60 to whom I have administered medicine for the cholera, except one individual, who had previously received some native medicine very injurious to her." The medicine is, "80 drops of laudanum, a wine glass of brandy, and two table spoonsful of c tstor oil, mixed ; and, if possible, given at once; if not, one dessert spoonful after another, until all is taken. This is the dose for a man; for women, girls, or boys, 60 drops of laudanum, the brandy and oil in the same quantities as before. Should this be ineffectual, give a second dose of 40 drops of lauda num, a wine-glass of brandy, but no more. In case of this failing, a wine-glass of drogue-a-mere may be ef fectual. 'I his medicine may be administered in al most all stages of the disease. After vomiting ceases, give warm rice-waterand boiled sago or flour." A recent letter from Calcutta contains the follow ing method of treatment, " which," says the writer, " I have found most efficacious, not having lost a patient by cholera since I used it :"—" Mixture :—. Take spirits of sal-volatile, laudanum (of each an ounce), essence of peppermint, 30 drops; mix. Give one tea-spoonful in brandy and water, and repeat the dose as required. The liniment : strong water of ammonia, laudanum, and salad oil, of each one ounce; mix. Apply well to the part affected with cramps or spasms, as the legs, hands, abdomen, &c. Bot tles of hot water, where required. The thirst is al layed by applying vinegar to the palms of the hands. Acids are used here (Calcutta) with great success, but it was the sulphuric, and not the nitrous, as used in England." In Orissa, where I resided, the usual remedy for this complaint was pills, each containing six or seven grains of calomel and one grain of opium. One pill was sometimes sufficient ; at other times a second. third, or fourth, at intervals of half an hour, were requisite to arrest the progress of the disease; an aperient was afterwards recommended. In this pro vince, a few years since, the Government humanely despatched 3,000 cholera pills for the relief of the salt manufacturers on the bay of Bengal, by which means several hundred lives were saved. The utility of these humane efforts in India is very great. " When the cholera," says a friend in Bengal, " first began its ravages, one gentleman obtained from Go vernment 40 or .50 native doctors to supply his dis trict, and medical stores to what extent he chose. The result was, that medicine was administered to upwards of 20,000 persons, of whom more than 17,000 recovered !" I have been much interested in observing that Dr. Ayre, of Hull, has adopted the mode of treat ment used in Orissa. He says—" I have had 76 cases, of which 60 have been returned cured; 5 of them are under treatment (4 of them out of danger), and 10 of them have died). The exclu sive object sought for in the system pursued has been to restore the secretion of the liver, and the means employed have been no less exclusive, and have wholly consisted of calomel and laudanum, given in small quantities, and frequently repeated. The dose of calomel was one or two grains, and of laudanum one or two drops, given every 5, 10, or 15 minutes, according to the urgency of the symptoms and duration of t rea tm e nt. The calo mel was given alone, as soon as 70 or 80 d r op s of the laudanum had been taken, or the purging and cramps were abated. The calomel was con tinued uninterruptedly until a substantial abatement of the disease was produced, and the only limit set to its use was in giving it at progressively wider intervals. In several late cases I have trusted to grain doses, with a drop of laudanum given with each, and renewed every five minutes for two or three hours, and then every ten minutes, until a de cided impression was made upon the complaint, when they were repeated every 20 minutes, and after wards every hour, until at length they were discon tinued. The average duration of the disease, in those who recovered under this treatment, has not }nen more than four or five days ; for by the prr., - m p t and very liberal use of calomel in small and frequent doses, anti it is indispensable tb their efficacy that they be sma ll, t h e secreti':,n of the liver becomes early resto re d, and 'tat inflammatory re-action in th e hepatic circl e i s prevented, which would otherwise ensue as a consequence of its congested state. Hence, in many instances, I have found the most rapid recoveries to occur in patients in whom the disease was most intense."—See Lancet, June 2, and July 14, 1832, pp. 27 1-158.—Evangelical Magazine, April, 1828.
