The demand for wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, ruled heavy, and prideS declined is per quarter. For barley, oats, beans, and peas, however, the trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The flour trade was quiet, at about stationary prices. Ad vices from America report a considerable fall in the value of wheat and flour, with a limited export inquiry for both articles. On the continent wheat is somewhat droop ing in price, but most other articles rule firm. The si.rrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were moderate for the time of year. The imports from akona consisted of 20,760 quarters of wheat ; 3,423 barley; 53,52 k oats; 825 beans; 1,430 peas; 5,615 linseed ; 13,223 oilseeds; 3,000 maize; 150 sundry seeds; 991 sacks and 1,472 barre:s or flour. About 500 quarters of now home-grown wheat were re ceived at our market to-clay. The Talavera wheats on sale were of but middling quality, and were by no means equal in condition to last year's produce. Rough-chaff wheat, however, came to hand in excellent condition. The supply of old wheat on the stands was but mode rate, but the quality of the produce was good. Both for red and white qualities the trade was dull, and, compared with Monday last, a reduction of is to 2s per quarter took place in prices. New Talavera wheat sold at 50s, and new white rough chaff at 42s to 48s per quarter, The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was mode rately large. All descriptions sold heavily, and prices de clined is per quarter, compared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of wheat were in limited request, at barely late rates. Spring corn, however, afloat, supported previous rates, There were a few parcels of new Kentish barley on the stands—quality, almost generally thin and sleety, The beat samples realised 37s 6d, whilst business was done in secondary parcels at 36s per qr. For old home-grown and foreign barley the trade was steady, and prices ruled tolerably firm. p2Malt was in moderate request, at the rates current on Monday last. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Both English and foreign descriptions were in steady request, at full quotations. The few beans of English growth on offer, changed hands at fully late rates. Foreign qualities ruled firm in price. For ?oar., the trace - 10 --nah rather more foreign samples were on the stands, all descriptions fully supported previous rates. New grey peas sold on Friday at 36s per quarter.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer into to-day's market in but middling condition. Sales, generally, progressed slowly, at drooping prices. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were large and of prime quality. From Ireland and Scotland the supplies were small. Good and prime beasts sold somewhat steadily, but at a slight reduction in value. Inferior breeds wore very dull, and 2d per 81bs lower. The general top figure for beef was 4s 10d; but a very few superior Scots found buyers at bs per Sibs: The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 short-horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 49 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 30 oxen and heifers. As to number the show 'of sheep was seasonably good; but most breeds came to hand in moderate condition. Downs, half-breds, &c., sold steadily at full prices. Other wise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at 2d per 81bs less money. The best old Downs realised 5s 4d per 81bs. With lambs wo were fairly supplied, ,and the inquiry for them was inactive on lower terms. The current rates were 5s 8d to Gs 3d per 81bs. We have to report a dull sale for :calves, at Thursday's currency on from 3s 10d to 4s 10d per 81bs. The pork trade was heavy at last week's quotations. Per Blbs. to sink the offal. S. d. s. d.

Her excuse was that she had got up to assist the first servant• He then gave directions for the third servant to be called, and she instantly also walked upstairs fully attired. This seemed to astonish him much. Prosecutor was perplexed what to do or how to act, till he heard a rustling noise about the house. He went to ascertain the cause of this, and discovered the first prisoner behind a curtain, the second under a table in the library, and the third in an upstairs room. The police were called in, and they were given into custody. They begged to be allowed to go. _ _ _ The prisoners new said that they had been admitted by the servants.

BOW - 5-CREET• SAVAGE ASSAULI isr A 1/11115L,..,,,._ a private in the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar charged with assault. Police-constable 60 A, said last night (Sunday) he was crossing the Green-park in plain clothes, when he heard a loud scream and cry of murder. He ran towards the spot from whence the cry seemed to proceed, and there found the prisoner struggling with s female. The prisoner immediately he (witness) came up struck him a blow inthe face, and then asked him what he had to do with the matter. He then told him he cams to protect the woman from his violence, and that he should take him to the station-house. A struggle ensued, and ho (witness) having nothing to pro tect himself, being off duty and in plain clothes, he remained with the prisoner for about ten minutes, waiting for a policeman, when prisoner took off his belt and struck him a blow with it. The constable on duty on Constitu tion-hill then came up, and witness told him to take the prisoner to the station for assaulting him. The female did not attend to make a charge against the man. He, witness, did not tell the prisoner he was a police-constable. On the way to the station the prisoner produced a two shilling piece, and told the constable who had him in custody that he (witness) had given it to him for a bad pur pose. The accusation was entirely groundless. Police-constable 179 A said he took the prisoner into custody. He did not know until the charge was being en tered at the station-house that the person he assaulted was the constable. He confirmed the assertion of the last wit ness with respect tt: the two-shilling piece. The prisoner denied that he took off his belt. Police-constable 179 A said while he was conveying the prisoner to the station he said the same thing, but a young man who was walking with them said, " Yes, you did." Brown said he did not know the man he had struck was a policeman. A sergeant from the prisoner's regiment said he was habitually absent without leave, and was addicted to drinking. Mr Flower said it was a very savage assault and one which he should feel it his duty to punish severely. If it had been proved that the prisoner had known the person who interfered to protect the female from his unmanly vioilence to be a constable, or had the female attended, he should have sent him to prison without the option of a fine, but as that was not the case, it would influence his decision. It was, however, a very bad case, and under all the circum stances of the sags he should fine the prisoner default, commit him to prison with hard labour for one month. Timothy Foley, a man having the appearance of being a sweep, was placed at the bar charged with illegally se, - ling spirits. Sergeant Rogers, cf the metropolitan police, said the Prisoner lived at 20, Lincoln-court, and on Sunday morn ing, about naii-po. , untion was called to loud laughing coming from Foley's house. an aperture in the shutter, and saw the prisoner standing in the midst of a group of 14 persons, with a bottle in his hand, selling the contents. He saw the prisoner receive money from various persons, and then he waited outside the house for a short time. He saw five people stagger from the place, and then he and another constable entered and took the prisoner into custody for illegally selling spirits. He had been charged and convicted of the same offence four or five times. An officer from the Excise then examined the bottles taken from the prisoner, and said they contained very weak gin. Mr Burnaby, the chief clerk, asked whether it was gin at all, or whether it was not some poisonous compound P The excise officer said it was gin lowered to about 80 per cent below proof. The prisoner's charge, he believed, was 21d. per class, Mr Flower said it was lamentable to think that a very useful act of Parliaruent should be, to a great extent frustrated by persons such as the pri soner. It was not to be supposed the prisoner did know the penalties he was incurring, because he had been four or five times charged with the same offence, and on one occasion fined £5O. He should now sentence him to pay a fine of £lOO, or in default, th ree mo nths' imprison ment,with hard labour. p r i sone r --LlOOl You don't mean hard labour ! Mr Flower—Yes, I perfectly well know that persons who carry on a trade like yours do not like ,vork. Prisoner —No it ain't likely ; but I do hope you'll think t h ree months inprison is quite enough, without the labour. Mr Flower—No, I shall do nothing of the kind, Prisoner (scratching his head)—Very wei4 then, I sup pose I must go and do it. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DANGER OUS ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VIGTUALLER.-- : Corne lius Foley, a rough-looki ng Irishman, was c h arge d b e fore Mr Tyrwh itt with violently assaulting Mr Busby, landlord of th 3 Gra p es public-house, Tower-street, St Martin's -lane. Mr Busby w as not present, b e i ng confined to his bed in consequen ce of the injuries he rece i ve d, an d a oertific a t e was handed to Mr Tyrwhitt, signed by Dr. Penning, of the Charing cross Hospital, statin g that owing to the severe injuries Mr Bushy had sustained he was not able to attend the Court.

Deay ton immediately took the prisoner into custody, and on the way to the station the prisoner's wife having spoken to the ' prisoner, he deliberately and in the most savage manner knocked her down. Dr. Penning was sent for and at tended upon Mr. Busby, remaining with him since Satur day night, Mr Busby being in a very dangerous state. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner to see the result of the injuries Mr Busby has sustained. ROBBERY AT TILE MOTEL DE PROVENCE.—Riohard Homey and John Flynn, porters in the employ of Philip Nind, proprietor of the Hotel de Provence, Leicester-square, were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing some marked money from a till ; belowe..-ng to their employer. The evidence of Butcher, 137 C, a plain clothes officer, showed that he marked some money and placed it in the till, and then placed himself in such a position as to see the prisoners with the till, one of them holding a candle in his hand, and the prisoner had got the till out of its place by withdrawing some s crews ' whi ch had the appearance of often having been withdrawn, they being quite bright. All the marked money was found on Flynn. Homey said Flynn was not his accomplice, and that he alone was the guilty party. Pierre Romkins, head waiter at the hotel, said money had been missed from the till for about five weeks. The depositions having been read over by Mr Nokes, the Chief Clerk, Mr Tyrwhitt asked the prisoners whether they wished to say anyaing, and Homey said Flynn had nothing to do with the charge, an d he said so because he did not like to see the i n nocent suffer for the guilty. Mr Tyrwhitt committed both prisoners for trial. MA.RYLEBONE.

A RIIFFIAN.—MichaeI Connor, a strange rough-looking fellow, who refused his name and address at the station, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently as saulting Police-sergeant Dunne, No. 311. Last n'ght, at half-past nine o'clock Dunne was passing along Leman-street, Whitechapel, when a young woman appealed to him for protection, and said the prisoner had been grossly insulting her. The prisoner came up directly and made an attempt to seize the female, who was exceed ingly terrified at the "rude uncivil touch" of such a vil lain as the prisoner. Dunne told him to go away, on which the prisoner abused her and made a kick at her. Dunne most properly interfered, seized the prisoner, and allowed the young woman to proceed. The prisoner being thus disappointed of his prey attacked Dunne very fiercely, and struck him several times over the head and face, Dunne struggled with the prisoner until he obtained assistance, and then he lodged him in the station house. Dunne, who is one of the most quiet and beat con ducted officers in tile force, said the side of his head was very sore from the effects of the blows he received. The prisoner, on being asked for his occupation and address, pretended he did not know, and in a rich Cork brogue said, " I did not commit that offence, yer honner's wertohip." Mr. Paget—What are you? ----rockr—l should not like to tell you that same. Its a profession i am, „,_ Mr. Paget—What is your profession? The prisoner made a pause; grinned, and said, "It's a match seller I am." (A laugh.) Mr Paget—What are you ? The prisoner—Sell lucifer matches. Mr Paget said the interference of Sergeant Dunne on behalf of a female who was insulted in the public street was most proper and judicious. The police could not do better than protect females who were insulted by ill-disposed and disorderly fellows in the streets. A violent assault had been committed on the police sergeant. for which he sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction. WESTMINSTER. PICKPOCKETS ON STEAMBOATS.—WiIIiam Mason, boy 16 years of age, very smartly dressed, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with picking a lady's pocket on board a steamboat. Mrs A. Donoughue, trimming seller, 3, West-street, Golden-square, said that at about half-past six last even ing she got on board a Citizen steamboat, at Hungerford pier, to be conveyed to Chelsea. Shortly after she was asked by her niece whether she had lost anything from her pocket, when upon putting her hand there she found that her purse, containing upwards of 18s. had been stolen. Her niece proceeded a few paces along the deck, when she collared the prisoner, and prosecutrix then asked him to give her her purse, when he affected surprise, and said he knew nothing about it. She told him she was sure he had her purse, and should give it her, when he suddenly pro duced it from his right hand, observing, "I beg pardon—l hope you won't do anything to me." She took the purse from him, and he was given into custody. Police-constable 347 V, said that when the charge was stated to the prisoner at the station, he said he picked the purse up under the seat where the lady was sitting, Mr Arnold asked the accused whether he wished to say anything. Prisoner replied that he did not pick the lady's pocket. He found the purse on the deck under the seat, as he stated at the station-house. Mary Ann Carr, the niece of the prosecutrix, said that she was with her aunt yesterday afternoon when she was robbed. There was no sitting room, and her aunt, who had been ill, was leaning upon her shoulder for support, witness holding her arm round her waist. Suddenly wit ness felt a pressure at her aunt's dress, and saw the pri soner remove his hands from it, and that induced her to ask her aunt whether she had lost anything. j\ir Arnold remanded the prisoner until Wednesday. X- NT rA TT ner.—On Wednesday next the long vacation commences, and the law and lawyers will rest, in a measure, until the 24th October. THE MERSEY ItiAms.—The El Tousson and El Monnassir, recently Nrchased by the Government from Messrs. Bravey, will be handed over to-day to Messrs Laird Brothers, of Birkenhead, the builders, by Captain Paynter, of her Majesty's ship Majestic. Messrs. Laird have contracted with the Admiralty to complete them for sea. The vessels will be renamed respectively the Scorpion and the Wyvern. They are to be armed with four 300-pounders, throwing a broadside of 1,2001 b. The turrets are on Capt. Coles' cupola principle, The Scorpion will probably be ready in a few weeks, providing the damage she has suffered from a winter's exposure, and when in an unfurnished state, is not found to be very serious. THE HERRING FISHING IN CAITHNESS.— WICK, August 4,—To.day's fishing is, in conse quence of last evening turning out wet and threatening, much lighter than that of yesterday, the average being about four crans, bringing the season's average to 30 crane. A good many of the boats returned early last night without shooting their nets, and of those that remained the majority were clean, the catch being chiefly confined to a few boats. About 1000 barrels were sold to-day at 265. Lobster is poorly fished to-day. Yesterday Ilelmsdale averaged about four crans. All the boats along the - coast are proceeding to sea to-night, with favourable weather. DISTRESSING DEATH BY MEANS OF A TOY.--A coroner's investigation was held at Breadsall last week respecting the death of a little girl, eight years of age, named Harrison, who wet with her death under very pain• ful circumstances, It appears that a boy named Dolman was playing with an instrument known as a flirt, a wooden tube through which an arrow is shot by means of a band of indiarubber, when the elastic slipped from between his fi ng ,:rs, the arrow was discharged in the air, and in its fall the iron spike of some three quarters of an inch long stack in the head of the deceased. Another boy pulled out the arrow, and the Girl did not seem to be seriously injured. Within the week, however, she becanze unwell, and did e in a bout a month after tke occurrence. It appeared from the post mortem examinatioz that the arrow had penetrated through the skull into the brain, and thereby caused an abscess to form. from which she died. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical ant; other evi - deuce, and the coroner, at the request of the jury, censured the lad, who is H years old, for using such a dangerous instrument as a plaything. CORRESPONDENCE FOR MOULMEIN AND Rk:N -GOON.—lnformation has been received from the Director -General of the Post Office of India that the cor respondence for Moulmein and Rangoon, forwarded from the United Kingdom by the mail of the 20th and 26th of each month, will reach its destination more expeditiously if sent by way of Penang, and thence by packet direct, than via Calcutta; the saving in point of time, by the Penang route, being about nine days to Moulmein, and about four days to Rangoon. Any letters for Moulmein and Rangoon intended to be so forwarded must be specially addressed "via Penang," and must be paid at the higher rates of postage to which letters for Periwig are liable, viz. :--Not exceeding half an ounce—Via Southampton, ls ; via Mar seilles, is 4d.—By command of the Postmaster-General, SINGULAR DEATH OF A LITTLE BOY.—Last week Mr Taylor held an inquest on the body of a child three years old, the son of Mr Joshua Rawlin, farmer, Tankersley, who met his death very singularly. It seemed from the evidence that the child's mother had just been Onfined, but not progres sin g very favourably t owar d s convalescence, the surgeon who attended her left her three powders to allay pain and induce sleep. These powders were to be taken in preserves, and on Tuesday morning, the nurse having prepared one for Mrs Rawlin in order to give it to her as soon as she awoke (she was]then sleep ing with her child by her side) left the room. On her re turn Mrs Rawlin told her that the child had been out of bed, and said he had eaten " the goody." He was then snoring loudly, and although she tried to rouro him she could not, and he shortly afterwards died. The jury re• turned a verdict of " Accidental death.'!— Wakefield Journal. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY EXTENSION TO FINSBURY.—Rapid progress is now being made in , the settlements for property, and the clearing of the ground for this extension. The contractor, Mr. Kelk, has full pos session of all the ground as far as Aldersgate-street, wi.th the exception of two blocks of buildings lately occupied by the "London Printing and POlishing Company," and Messrs. Williams, Cooper and Co., wholesale stationers and paper-hanging manufacturers, and they are advertised for sale and clearance in a few days, by Messrs. Pullen, Horne, Eversfield, and Co. The principal station, a most commodious and architecturally elegant building, will be erected in Aldersgate-street, between the corner of Long lane and Carthusian-street. Four lines of rail, two narrow and two broad gunge, will be reached by a flight of stairs, situate on either side of the intended station. The foun dations are being now laid for the bridge, which will cross the line at Cb ar terhoun-street into tb.e equare,—City PreBB. TAL: The Emperor of the French ,t Welly. A letter from Vichy, of the 3d, says—' 's This bathing place contains at the present moan at an Emperor, a King, a Pasha, and a great numb er of eminent personages, and 10,000 bathers and a% rater drinkers. The King, however, is on the poi; it of departing. Ascending from the new park, fal:ioa7- ing the capricious windings of the river, o.'i tl e right are seen the imperial chalets inhabited by th e Emperor and his suite, These chalets, six in nuns - ber, are entered from a fine boulevard of rem t creation. They stand in the m: !le of spacint 3 squares very prettily laid out ; clrci their principll entrance is at the back, towards the 7 OCliSla par Ir. The ground floor, which is raised c!.. :: :::tseme at story, consists of a saloon, a dining rocz,-. a lar ; ?e bed room, and a study. The first floor is disf; 4 '7,1" , 0 in nearly the same manner. The chatlo' tt present occupied by the Emperor, and sur mounted by the French flag, is nearly the same as that on the left hand which he inhabited last year_ Besides the Emperor's chalet, only two others are officially occupied. Imme. diately to the left is that of the ornerly officers, while that of the right is appropriated to M. Moe guard and his Majesty's cabinet. M. Dronyn de Lhuys, during his stay at Vichy, also inhabited this chalet. The other chalets belong to the Marquis de Clermont-Tonnerre, M. Fould, and M. Ernest Andree. There is no kitchen in the Emperor's chalet, and the basement story of the building on the left hand is appropriated to that purpose, and an underground passage constantly lighted with gas forms a communication between the two buildings. Opposite, on the other side of the Boulevard Napo leon 111., is a slip of ground 50 metres long by 24 wide, on which stand eight cottages surrounded by gardens enclosed by breest-high palisades. Five of them have been purchased by the Emperor and pre. sented by him to his friend and physician, Dr. Con. nean ; M. Leon, his first valet de chambre, an old and faithful servant; M. Dupuis, first controller; and M. Felix, first huissier of the palace. The other three are Eighteen more cottages are to chalets and cottages, of elegant stffe;Bativat-ukakii stone, and wood, with basements of red cement in crusted with pebbles, have a light and cheerful appearance, and are very pleasing to the eye, being in perfect harmony with the natural scenery around. The Emperor rises early, takes a bath at seven, breakfasts at ten, and dines at five. From half. past eleven to one, or even later, his Majesty walks in the park, like the other bathers, sometimes se- companied by General de Beville, at others by the Marquis de Clermont-Tonnerre, or Colonels the Marquis de Toulongecn and Count Lepio, his orderly officers. Wherever he passes the crowd respect- fully salute him. A day or two ago a little girl, five years of age, who was eelling flowers, offered the Emperor a carnation, without knowing to whom she spoke. His Majesty took the flower and gave her a napoleon, with which she scampered off in great delight. A similar occurrence took place two mornings since, when a little boy, who was selling journals, meeting the Emperor returning from the bath, offered him the ,flonitear du Soir, which was accepted and paid for with a napoleon, to the young dealer's unbounded amazement. The Walpurgis Dance at Washington. WRITTEN FOR THE " NEW YORK DAILY NEWS" BY " ITIIURIEL." [lt is hardly necessary to hint that " Ithuriel" is no other for the nonce than Dr. Charles Mackay, the Itmes' Correspondent.] The night was heavy and mirk, The moon shone dusky red, The air had an odour of sulphurous smoke And of corpses newly dead. And I saw in fact, or dream, Or both confused in one, A dance and a revel arid maniac rout Too hideous for the sun ; And out of it came a cry : " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Let the witches' caldron boil " With a nation's tears for water I " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Slabby and thick as mud, " To sprinkle the hungry soil " For the carnival of slaughter I" Beneath the C%LULWI CrEWILoa A pool and whirl of flame, Around the caldron gambol'd and howl'd A crowd without a name; Fierce war zoalota and preachers, Buffoons, contractors, thieves, Liars, blasphemers, and parasites As thick as the Summer leaves, And still they clamor'd and shouted, " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Let the hell-broth sputter and boil " With a nation's tears for water I " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Slabby and thick as mud, " To sprinkle the hungry soil "For the carnival of slaughter I" 111.

FRANKFORT, Aug. 6.—The Legislative Body of this city at its sitting yesterday gave its unanimous adhesion to the customs union based on the Prato). Prussian Treaty of Commerce. CHLOROFORM MISADVENTURES. (From the Medical limes and Gazette.) We don't in the least object to professional responsibility. When a man does any given act, on the due performance of which hangs the life of a fellow-creature, he ought to he, and to feel himself answerable for any bad consequences which may:follow from want of care and skill. But then ho must have discretionary powers to match ; he must be a free agent and not a mere tool of others, and must have his hands quite unshackled in all that relates to his department. Any one who administers chloroform will do well to bear this in mind for the future, and may take more than one useful hint from the proceedings at a late inquest at St Mary's Hos pital. It was a great toe case —an operation highly painful, but not dangerous to life, and unluckily not surrounded with surgical interest which begets intense caution at every step. It was, too, just on that part of the body which is shown to retain its morbid sensibility the longest. The chloroform was administered, and in a short time the patient was found to be dead. The post mortem ex amination showed that there was fatty degeneration of the heart, which would enfeeble its action. Mr Edwards, the chloroformist, said he examined the chest of the patient be fore the operation, and although he thought him an un favourable subject. be thought he had not the right to re fuse chloroform, as he was called upon to do so. On the other hand, Mr. A. B. Wall, who had attended the patient many years, thought there was no extra risk ; neither did Mr. Leto, who significantly said that Mr. Edwee had not expressed any unfavourable opinion of ia patient, and that if he had he would have been relieved of the responsibility of administer ing the chloroform; for, of course, if the surgeons had de termined on giving it after hearing his objece:ons, they would have taken on themselves a responsibl e t y which was plainly inferred now rested with the chlorofezeeEet. The jury, after along consultation, returned a verdict affirming _ _ administered whilst he was labo ;:ring under organic ellsease of the heart, and that the said death arose from misad venture." Not much in this, some may think; but they would be wrong. The verdict is not a verdict o f " acci dental death," but implies a grave censure, and so we once heard it laid down by the late Mr. Wakley at an inquest on a death from the same cause. "In a case of misadventur e e(a)ntt caution in him whonegligence,helawpresumeswasso unfortunate uoraotrlteuansattae as tocommit want ofsutf ie it; who, therefore, is not altogether faultless." But the law books show a number of fine shades by which what is "misadventure" at oue time may be " manslaughter" at another; so chloroformists had better beware in time, end take care that their degree of responsibility is chatty leid down, and that a commensurate degree of authority go therewith. It will never do for the future that the chloroformist shall, on the one hand, find himself saddled with a verdict of mis adventure ; and, on the other, that he shall be able to say to the jury, as Mr Edwards did, "My duty is only to give the chloroform, and I know nothing of the patient." The first point every chloroformist ought to have cleared up is, who is responsible for the patient's fitness ? All justice and common sense show that this usually lies at the door of the persons who know the patient, and have treated him, and recom mend an operation. It is absurd to require a young man, called upon to administer chloroform to a dozen patients in succession whom he has never before seen, to pronounce off-hand that each has no organic disease of the heart. In this very case the practitioner who had attended the de ceased for years, and the surgeon who operated, knew nothing of it, and it would be preposterous to censure Mr Edwards on this ground. It is quite clear that some one ought to bs called on to say whether a patient is or is not U to take chloroform, and that if this is to be the task of the chloroformist, he ought to be called in in consultation beforehand, and enabled to learn all the patient's history. But with respect to this "disease of the heart." Let us be frank ;—it is a little too like the "cat in the cupboard" that devours the cream and breaks the crockery. What aro the evidences of diseased heart ? Breathless ness, faintness, angina, or even gouty palpitation? But if these be evidence, where is the person past middle life who has a sound heart ? If we except the most athletic young men in the prime of life, where is the man whose heart would not, if it could be got at, betray " traces of fatty degeneration ?" As for the fat and lazy men, the lean and haggard over-anxious men, the studious sedentary man, and the fast men,—the women of all ages who lead town lives, the '° znctherlywonicn," full- bosomed, the " fat, fair, and forty, or "fat, puffy, and sixty," and the people of either sex who have bees long ill or bedridden, — what kind of hearts have they ? We cannot see the heart, but we can see the calves of the legs, and judge that what makes the one wasted and soft will not spare the other. Then if we recollect the tricks of acute rheumatism and gout, we suspect that there are not 5 per cent of the popu lation above 30 whose hearts, if carefully cut up, would no betray some " traces of fatty degeneration," to solace the misadventures of the chloroformist. And are all these, the suffering and invalid part of our race, par excellence, to be denied chloroform in labour, or operation, or injury ? Most assuredly not. We entreat our dear brethren the chloroformists just to take for granted that all hearts are fatty, and to take their time; and then the patient will be safe, though his heart be ricketty, and there will be no mis adventure. The chlorofermist must make himself master cf the situation. He ought to have the imperturbability of a Turk, and be as incapable of hurry as a German postillion. It is the fifth operation of the day I the theatre is crammed I the air vaporous and carbonised I the students anxious to get off to their afternoon lecture I and one of the great ornaments of surgery, who has a dozen consultations before dinner, waits to get his last operation done I Never mind. The chloroformist should not budge an inch. The opera tor must wait for him. The timid young practitioner at tends Lady Frail at her dentist's, and spares her ladyship's consciousness the horrors of feeling a stump extracted. The patient is a little flurried, and sitting upright—all bad for chloroform. She gets a little noisy. " Can't you push it ?" says the dentist, lacking at his watch. Take your time, good chloroformist, we say, or there will be a misadventure. Entice the patient into sleep, slowly and gently. He cannot resist even a feeble vapour if given long enough. Pot your faith in the rule of three. If 3 per ceut. of vapour will atop a degenerate heart in four minutes, halve the vapour and double the time and the heart will not stop. Fe s tina lone. Put this label on your chloroform bottle, and there will be an end of misadventure. SHIPPING-TEES DAY, LONDON, Aug. B.—Wind this day at noon—South- West; moderate breeze and fine weather.
