T HE LATE DEATH by PRUSSIC ACID, &c., at CAMDEN-TOWN. PROOF of the IMPORTANCE of the MEDICAL LIBERTY of the SUBJECT. People of England—Let this case be a warning to you all. If the unfortunate girl and her friends had not been completely under the thumb of the doctors—that is, had she or they been capable of judging for themselves (which is what hygeists mean by the medical liberty of the subject), she would be still alive ; but as it was, the most deadly poisons were given her " medicinally," which she swallowed with confidence !I ! There can be no safety until you shake off the chains that bind you to the chariot wheels of the doctors—in other words, until you become like hygeists, your own doctors. No case can prove the importance of the medical liberty of the subject (that is to say, trusting only to one's self and friends in cases of disease), more than the melancholy case of Miss Collier. The British College of Health have warned the public fit many years against these deadly chemical preparations, which can only be used without killing by grains and drops. As to their curing in any case, it is quite untrue. Of course, in order to have the medical liberty of the subject as eontended for by hygeists, all deadly chemical ;re parations must be done away with, and nothing dangerous left in the way of the people. So long as dangerous things are tolerated, there must be persons to advise the quantity to be taken; herein lies the whole secret of the question, and the key to all the opposi tion of doctors to hygeists. Many persons think that because prus sic acid and other deady chemical preparation. can be taken in such doses as not to kill at once (as in the case of Miss Collier), that, therefore, they are a cure for diseases, Nothing can be more falla cious, ban such an opinion. It certainly would be most satisfactory to the public It the medical world would explain upon what principle it is that prussic acid, &,;., is to operate as a cure for disease. Let them explain the modus operandi of that roison, and then the public will say whether it is possible that it can, under any circumstances, do good. Why ! we ask, is not its operation to paralyze the action of the heart, and through that all the other organs of the body ? Is it not so ? And is not this also the true modus operandi of all other powerful narcotics or sedatives? Then, if it be so, upon what prin ciple are such poisons to cure dissases ? Ilygeists have now for up wards of 20 years been contending this question with doctors ; every manoeuvre has been attempted to divert the public mind from the point, but the truth seems at last coming to light. We are aware that the existence of the medical pmfsssion depends upon this ques tion of poisons, because if they are to be taken " medicinally," the medical body is certainly entitled to a monopoly of the healing art. If they are not, then every one eanbe his own doctor, and therefore the whole fabric falls to the ground. As to Dr. Cronin being a Germa's M.D., we think that has very little to do with the question, so far as the public is concerned, because it is well known that Eng lish M.D.'s use these deadly chemical preparations " medicinally," as well as German M.D.'s. Are we, therefore, to infer that Dr. l e o d ek lci t n n all th y e " Cronin has been selected because he has only a German diploma? use of poisons We emphatically declare that there is no experience to justify the We say again to the public, ‘ administration of such deadly poisons, either by German or English doctors. against e s h t have much pleasure in stating that our petition to Parliament 4th is 17 g e meeting print, n t with whereinunusual support. the whole of the is folly brought before question as to poisons being held out "medicinally" had at the laygeistit y c o e u in all its bearings.

(‘ We, the undersigned, the' auditors duly appointed to audit the accounts of the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Company, do report that the accounts have been submitted to us, and that we have examined the same. with the vouchers of each separate account, and have found them in all respects perfectly accurate and correct. We think it right to add, that the system upon which these account:. have been kept appears to us to be highly satisipctory, and to reflect great credit upon all concerned. " E. S. CODD, Auditor " " F. W. SLADE, - The accounts laid before the meeting stated the amount of receipts, deposits on shares, to be 112,779/. Expenses before obtaining the Act to be £35,414 Expenses after obtaining the Act 4,703 Total amount of expenditure £40,117 Leaving a balance of 72,6621. Mr. BP.DoNALD moved that the report should be adopted and printed. Mr. Dicxsom felt he would not be doing his duty to him self and his fellow-shareholders if he did not protest against the report. It stated that the accounts appeared to the auditors to be highly satisfactory. No doubt they would ap pear satisfactory to them ant the directors; but these auditors had not been appointed by this meeting, and the feeling could not be suppressed beyond the room that this auditing had taken place in secrecy. He was convinced that had auditors been appointed by the meeting, they would not have been allowed entrance into the directors' private room. Here, then, they had 16,0001., Parliamentary agents and law ex penses huddled up together in one sum ; and here was 10,000/. engineering expenses, huddled up- in another sum, without one word of explanation as to details. Why, they did not know how their money was being spent. He himself had heard—he did not make the charge—that large sums had been given away in hush money, for secret service, and such like, in Ireland. If things were stated more satisfactorily, the effect would be more satis faction. Ile then found fault with: the small amount of money called for by the directors , a sum amounting to some 20,0001.—which would not make a mile, instead of 130; it would not bore their tunnel through Brayhead. He thought that the call ought to have been something.like 51. a share. Mr. REYNOLD thought, with the gentleman who bad spoken, that if one of the auditors had been a gentleman ap. pointed on the part of the discontented shareholders, of whom he was one, the report would have had more weight with the meeting. That report was merely an echo of the report put forward by the directors on the 21st December last. By, the report -of the 21st December the directors had 72,9251. in hand. He now asked by what common-sense or mercy the directors had, within 48 hours, made a call upon the shares, making up an additional sum of 40,000/. ? But he was afraid that, as respected the answer, they might as well " call spirits from the vasty deep."—(Laughter.) He wished to know to whom the 50,000/. had been lent at 4 per cent. interest? Lord CourcrowN declined to answer him. Mr. REYNOLD, after remarking on the salary allowed to the Secretary as being too large,. regretted that the directors had not met the shareholders in a more amicable spirit. He concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the report of the directors was not satisfactory, and therefore ought to be re jected._ Mr. DICKSON seconded it. Captain WARRLNGTON asked why, when so large a pro portion of shares were unsubscribed for, the directors had not called a meeting of the shareholders and made it known ? Lord CoußTowN—We did not feel it our duty. Captain WARRINGTON—What have the directors done with the reserved shares ? The CrrAirtmaN declined to answer. Captain WARRINGTON asked whether it was keeping faith with Parliament to borrow a large sum of money to comply with the standing orders? The CHAIRMAN declined to answer. After some observations from Dr. GRAY, The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, and declared it was lost. The original motion was then put and carried. Mr. Coxz proposed a vote of thanks to the Noble Chair man and his colleagues in the direction, which was seconded, and carried. The meetin, then separated. LYNN AND ELY RAILWAY. The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Lynn and Ely Railway was held yesterday morning, at the L on don Tavern ; Mr. Henry Lacey, Deputy - Chairman of the Board of Directors in the chair. The report stated that at the general meeting of share holders, in August last, the directors expressed their anticipa tion that the portion of the line between Lynn and Dereham Market would shortly be ready for opening. This anticipation was realised; for, atter inspection and approval by the Go vernment officer, this part of the line was opened for traffic on the 27th of October. It was never expected that a large trade could be carried on upon so short a length of railway. The objet was more for the sake of acquiring a staff for the working of longer distances, and for testing the qualities of the wen and machinery. than for any purposes of profit. The directors, however, had the sa tisfaction of stating, that during the short period which had since elapsed, and that, too, in the midst of a severe winter, and whilst all the usual and ordinary means of travelling still exist, the traffic had quite come up to their expecta tions. By arrangement with the directors of the other lines, constituting with this the East Anglian Railways, engines and carriages had been ordered. Four engines of the very best construction had been already received from Messrs. Sharp, Brothers, of Manchester. The directors need hardly say that their quality cannot be exceeded. Others will shortly be delivered. The companies were in possession of eight first-class, seven second-class, and ten third class passenger carriages. Others were in course of delivery. In order to meet the great difficulty at present existing of obtaining railway plant, the directors had established work shops for the construction of waggons and trucks for the conveyance of goods. It was fully expected that the line will be completed, through to Ely, by the end of the month of July. The Bill for amalgamating this company with the Lynn and Dereham and the Ely and Hunting don Companies, and the Bills for the extension lines and other works promoted by this company, had severally passed the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Commons. Touching these Bills, it was gratifying to your directors, that the proprietors had sanctioned the amalgamation oft he three companies, and also that it had been the pleasure of the pro prietors to accede to the terms of the lease of these railways to the Eastern Counties Compan3 . With respect to the ex tensions and other works, it was already understood that these would become, as by agreement, the property of the latter company. The receipts amounted to 326,1151., and the expenditure to 301,3541.; leaving a balance of 24,7611. in hand. In answer to questions, The CHAIRMAN announced that the agreement for lease had been settled by the Eastern Counties Company, and it would be sealed and delivered to-morrow. The directors did not anticipate making another call for the present The report was adopted, and the retiring auditors and di rectors re-elected. . . The sum of 6001. was voted to the directors for their ser vices in the past year. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors was pro posed, which was met by an amendment, put forward by the section of shareholders who disapprove of the leasing to the Eastern Counties Company, that the directors be omitted from the resolution. The amendment was, however, negatived, and the original motion carried. LYNN AND DEREITAM RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this line was then held ; Mr. Lacy in the chair. The report was precisely, the same as the one read at the previous meeting. The receipts amounted to 224,909/. Os. 10d ' and the expenditure to 149,..23 1 . Os. 101, leaving a balance of 75,386/. The report was adopted, and the other formal matters gone through. The sum of GOO/. was v oted to the directors for thei r ser vices in, the past year. ELY AND HUNTINGDON RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of thi an s line was then held; Mr. Lacy in the chair. The report stated that the directors confidently that the portion of this railway, between St. IVQ9 and Hun tingdon, would be opened for tr the month of May next. In pursu ance of the provisions of the Com reti panieres Clauses C on solidation A ct, 1845, two of the directors from office. Mr. Lacy and Mr. Reynolds retire tone this occa sion, but were re-eligible, and were willing ct again. W. Tinker, Esq., one of the auditors, also retired, but was eligible for re-election, and offered himself accordingly.. The receipts amounted to 110,985/. 155., and the expenditure to 97,593/., leaving a balance of 13,3921. 15s. in hand. The report was unanimously adopted, and the retiring directors and auditors having been re-elected, the sum of 6001. was voted to the directors for their services in the past year.

It advances, however, sufficiently rapidly to keep pace with the purchase of property along the line. "As regards the important Bills now before Parliament, promoted by this company, or parties in alliance with them, the directors reported, that all but the Cornivall and Devon Central and Plymouth Railway Bill bad passed the standing orders. After a technical scrutiny of the severest kind, con ducted before the Examiner of petitions in London, supported by the joint efforts of four great companies, the memorialists against this Bill have been referred by mutual consent to the examination of independent engineers, who are now conduct ing the inquiry on the ground. The directors are assured that, whatever the result may formally be, no error can be established of a substantially objectionable character, or such as ought to withdraw an undertaking of such comprehen sive usefulness, from the consideration of Parliament on its merits. ' " The directors feel that they have cause to continue most confident of a successful issue in their several pending ap plications to Parliament. Every succeeding investigation of the great system of uniform communication which the pro prietors by their enterprise andsonfidencehave enabled their directors to propose to Parliament, cannot fail to result in an increased development and appreciation of their merits. The directors might instance, although this has never bean pro minently stated, the high probability that on the construction of these railways, a new and most convenient line of com munication will be established between the North of Devon and Cornwall and the South of Ireland, and such as would attract a large proportion of the traffic passing between Ire land and the southern parts of England. On the whole the directors are confident that public works more comrrehensive or more likely to be of national service, were never submitted to the consideration of the Legislature. " The directors confidently anticipated obtaining the North Devon and Cornwall lines, and believed that they would ob tain increased traffic with the south of Ireland, and, with a. view to render this great system yet more complete, the board have entered into a conditional agreement with the Taw Vale Railway and Dock Company, to take one-fourth of their capital, and for a perpetual lease of their railway and• works, by means of which, and 'a short branch from the Cornwall and Devon Central line, both Plymouth and Ex mouth will be brought into connexion with the north coast of Devon by railways of a uniform gauge and management. The rent to be paid by this company is 5 per cent. per annum on the cost of the Taw Vale Railway and Works absolutely,, with 10s. per cent, additional should the line actually earn 5i per cent. The lessors are also to have half the surplus profits. Three of the directors of this company have been elected members of the Taw Vale board, and by the nomi nation of Mr. Locke as engineer of that company, and other guarantees, the board trust that they have secured the sound and economical execution of the works, the lease of which they now recommend the proprietors to confirm. This ar rangement will include the Crediton and Exeter Railway, should the Taw Vale Railway Company purchase or lease that undertaking. " The directors deem it important the proprietors should be informed that the capital recently created in tenths and new shares hai 111113 n subscribed, and the deposits paid up with unprecedented piwtrlity ; and it must be satisfactory, alike l - Mr tto Parliament ahe proprietors, to know that, however large the undertakings in which the company are concerned, ample provision has been thus made for meeting every en gagement. " The members of the board wli — O•tetire by rotation are Sir John Easthope, Bart., M.P., the Count Eyre, and Mr. Vincent Eyre, whom their colleagues cordially recommend for re-election." The report, which was received with much cheering, was then put, and The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that was the report for the last six months, and he trusted it was satis factory. He would not conceal from the meeting that both his colleagues and himself had felt considerable anxiety respect ing the measures they had adopted when they entered upon the free reduction of the fares last May. He was aware that the movement was a popular one, and it at any rate was a liberal one, and that generally was the right one; but it had had the effect of absorbing the usual surplus of 9,0001. or 10,000/., which was usually ready to carry to the benefit of the spring dividend, and that surplus was now under 2001. Notwithstanding this, however, the directors had decided upon giving the usual dividend of 425. 6d., for they had the addition of the Richmond traffic, as well as that for the in termediate stations, which they all knew how to value. Then there was the addition to be expected from the Southampton and Dorchester line, which was sixty miles in length, and which, according to the agreement with the great contractor, Mr. Peto, was to be opened on the Ist of May. The di rectors, therefore, thought that they might with safety assent, as he had said, to the usual dividend.—(Cheers.) The Parliamentary campaign was about to commence—he believed that they were to go into Committee on the 4th of March—and on this point he believed there was little apprehension to be :entertained. He would abstain from general observation as much as possible, for he knew from experience how able opposing counsel were to turn black into white and white into black ; but he might ob serve, that Mr. Campbell, the secretary, had been in all the localities, and he believed their peace was made with all the great landholders in the district: On public grounds, then, he believed the company was entitled to, and would obtain, the sympathy of the public in their endeavour to promote a great public benefit. They had been actuated by no narrow or monopolising spirit; but, while they were looking for the natural reward of private enterprise, they were at the same time aware that it was necessary to meet the claim for public convenience, and that they had done so was evident in their being among the first to adopt the system of low fares, not only for passengers, but also forgoods, and through out the whole of these proceedings they had, he trusted, been actuated by every principle that was satisfactory to the public, as well as to the shareholders. With respect to the position of the company, he was happy to say, that, as the report bad stated, nothing could be better. The whole of the capital of the company is 5,238,8001., and on this the, were empowered by law, to borrow 1,669,156/. Now the actual amount of the capital paid up is 3,841,000/., and the whole of the amount borrowed is only 780,0001.; making, as it would appear, that instead of one third, the whole of the sum borrowed did not amount to more than one-fifth or one-sixth of the;Parliamentary capital; and as it might be of interest to know how this money stood, he would state that 72,200 was borrowed at 5 per cent., 500/. at 44 per cent., 435,1001. at 4 per cent., and 272 2001 at 3 1 ,6 per cent., and as in the beginning of these works money was often borrowed on deben tures at 7 per cent., he trusted that this would prove satisfac• tory.—<Cheers.) He might farther observe, that the present length of working rail is 105 miles, and these, with the Sa lisbury and Yeovil branch, which was to be opened on thi Ist of March, 22 miles in length, and the Sdlisbury and Dor. chester branch, which is to be 60 miles in length, with the extension to Hungerford Bridge, would make altogether 252 miles. The whole of the locality over which the new lines were to run had been apparently left entirely to them, so that little Parliamentary opposition was to be anticipated. With these observations he would put the adoption of the report to the meeting. This having been seconded by T. B. SIMPSON, Esq., Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE wished to make his usual protest against the proceedings of the directors, and especially against being called upon to give his adhesion to a report which was only put into their hands as they entered the room. He would like to know what the working expenses of the line were, and what measures had been taken respecting the completion of the Corsham and Portsmouth branch. He could inform the directors that there was a petition, with upwards of 2,000 signatures, now lying in Portsmouth, the object of which was to compel them to take up the direct line into that town, and he was therefore anxious to ascertain whether there had been any amalgamation with the Brighton Company. The CHAIRMAN replied, that the Corsham branch bad been proceeded with as tar as it could, and the completion had been delayed partly by the alteration of the site for the terminus, which was proposed by the Learned Sergeant himself. To further questions, Mr. CHAPLIN replied that the whole of the capital of the Taw Va le Docks and Railway was only 50,0001. The Richmond Railwa y might not b have paid re turns co mmensurate with the expe nse of its formation s ut it should be recollected th at this bad been a curious winter, and, notwithstanding the badness of the weather, the com pany had carried upwards of 240,000 passengers. Mr. CURRIE wished to know wh y it was that the allow ance to the directors had not been increased from 1,0001. to 2,000/. per annum, as voted at the last meeting? The CHAIR3IAN replied, that the directors had felt that the vote was not quite unanimous. and therefore they had de clined the advance. The report was adopted nem. con. The next resolution was for the declaration of a dividend of 21. 2s. 6d. per share, which was also passed unanimously. The arrangement with the Taw Vale Railway and Dock Company was then confirmed. On the proposition of Sir J. Easthope for one of the direc tors, Mr. Sergeant GAZIKLES made some observations on the irregularity of the system which had been followed on the retirement and election of the directors, and concluded b 3 askieg for the dates of the resignations of th ose w h o retired', and the dates of the applications of the candidates for the direction. , Mr. CHAPLIN, in explanation, replied that the reason why one person had been preferred to another in the direction, was simply the loss of the Portsmouth line and the obtaining of the Western line. A long conversation ensued upon the subject, which ulti mately merged into the q ues ti on as to whether the proceed ings were legal or not. It being determined under the deci sion of Mr. Bircham, the solicitor of the company, that they vances, that confidence which has hitherto been towards the undertaking will be continued, and thus enable your directors to place the compaSW in the position of exer cising the powers of the Act tor borrowing a portion of the capital required. _ Suggestions have been made to your directors that they should, without delay, construct the Branch to Newtown Limovady. This subject is one of great interest, and will receive every consideration ; but as such suggestions involve some alterations in the course of the line, your directors will not decide upon their adoption without the previous ap proval of a special general meeting of the proprietors. In the meantime they take this opportunity of acknowledging the very valuable assistance they continue to derive from the active services of the local board, who are zealously alive to the best interests of the undertaking." Captain WATTS wished, before the motion for the adoption of the report was put, to call the attention of the meeting to a law report which appeared a short time since, in which it was stated that an injunction had been obtained restrain ing the company from proceeding with the works on the embankment, and the judge on that occasion was repre sented to have made some strictures rather derogatory to the company. He wished to have some explanation with regard to this point. Mr. YR It ELL, the solicitor to the company, then entered into a lengthened statement of the transactions and negotia tions that had taken place between Mr. Dimsdale, the original proprietor of the embankment, and Mr. Hemming, the con tractor; as alto of the proceedings in law that had resulted, and concluded by saying, that the company had nothing to tear float any. attempt, preoeut -nr4uture, of Mr. Dimsdala to involve then - i in litigation, and the recent dillerences had been arranged. The CHAIRMAN, in IRMAN, reply to questions frost proprietors, observed that should any deviation be inter.ded to be carried out, the proprietors should be previously consulted—that the signatures of 111 -ssrs. 11.iss and Stevenson, the former en gineers of the company, had been accepted on the score of economy, but the present engineer, Mr. Lanyon, had formerly a c t e d un d er M r. Stevenson, and was likely to give every satisfaction—that the directors intended to make these calls larger and more frequent, till they amounted to 271.105., when they would be in a position, in accordance with the Act, to borrow a portion of the capital necessary to complete the undertaking —that of the first call there were 65 shares unpaid, 55 of which were arranged, and the rernaininb, 10 only were doubtful ; of the second call, the deficiency was 412/. 10s. 2d. ; of the third 925/. ; and the deficiency on all the calls amounted to about 9,000/. The report was then unanimously adopted, and ordered to be circulated. Some conversation ensued as to the propriety of taking steps to get in the deficiency- on the calls, and lLe forCtrartnhstaat purpose.Nintinlated that no exertion would be wanting On the motion of Captain WArrs, seconded by Mr. LEWIS, a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

Board of Directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the Ineetinrhevtig. been _ _ Tile CHAIRMAN said that the requisite number of shareholders being present, they were now in a position to proceed to business. He would not oc cupy their attention further, as the directors desired that the shareholders would allow them to adjourn the present meeting for one month. The reason was, that the directors were in negotiation with a wealthy and respect able company respecting their company. They would carry on the proceeding, and then they would be in a position to lay before the shareholders a report, together with a financial statement, that would prove satisfactory. They had then no report to present; he would, therefore, move that this meet ing be adjourned to Friday, 26th March. Mr. KIRWAN seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. The meeting then separated. ASHFORD MECHANICS' INSTI- TUTION. There existed a few years ago a rather numerous class of society, not occupying a very exalted position in the scale of human intelligence, but still what might be termed a re spectable class, one distinguishing_ characteristic of which was—a great dread of educati on . They did not know much themselves, and they considered it an unpardonable piece of presumption for any one with an empty pocket to have a full head. The marked improvement in the AB C schools for the poor, far as that improvement falls short of what it ought to be, was the first thing that drove these objectors half de mented; but when Mechanics Institutes began to spread, and the tradesman and artizan dared to employ the time, onee devoted to the pipe and the glass, in listening to scien tific lectures, or in studying political economy, then in deed their disdain and amazement knew no bounds. Now, perhaps, their wisest course would have been to have attempted, out of the resources of a moderately furnished but little-used library, to keep in advance of Mechanics' Institutes and their frequenters. :But, alas! this would have driven the advocates of anti quated prejudice sadly out of their usual routine. So they adopted the much easier plan of vilifying and traducing; and one of the commonest accusations brought against Me chanics' Institutes was, that they were unfavourable to, or substituted human knowledge for, religion, and that in pro portion as the lecture-room was attended, the church would no deserted. In effectual confutation of these charges, we point triumphantly to such lectures as the one delivered before the Mechanics' Institute of Ashford, on Thursday, the 18th inst., by the Rev.:John Dutton, M.A., Rector of are home. We have been favoured with a perusal of that lec ture, and never were we more deeply convinced that science, far from being the antagonist, may be most advantageously employed ai the able handmaid of religion. The lecture of which we speak is on " The Moral Condition and Relations of Man," wherein the lecturer clearly and eloquently de monstrates that the claim to mental freedom can only i sustained upon the theory of a Divine revelation lf morals. His arguments are forcible, his language perspicuous, and his conclusions just; and we cannot but think that such a lecture must have produced a great effect for good upon all who heard it. We cordially congra tul ite the members of the Mechanics' Institute of Ashford on having in their immediate neighbourhood a gentleman so ready to support their interests, and so admirably qualified by his varied attainments, to contribute to their intellectual improvement, as Mr. Dutton. And we would venture to ask why should not the clergy more generally take a part in such institutions? 'Why should they not seize the opportunity of directing that march of mind which they cannot, if they would, restrain? And why should not science, beneath their auspices, pursue her researches, with the lamp of re vealed religion burning in her right hand? We commem e b l e tf his brother clergy, the example of Mr. Dufton, who, l A i l e e v c e h n a o n w ics f , oc n t s t third u e of delighted ly and c e( el li olese fi n ‘ e ,t d . a t n h d. e_ talented lecture.

DISTRESS AT MALTA PROM HIGH PRICES, AND THREATENED FAHLNE.—The avidity with which all grain is bought up at Malta, chiefly for the wants of Great Britain, at prices which the poorer classes have not the means of paying, added to the circumstance of the further exports from Egypt having b2en stopped by Government, and those from the Russian ports in the Black Sea by the frost, threaten to be productive of much misery at Malta. We have seen a letter from this island of a recent date, stating as:follows : " Matters are coming to a very pretty pitch in this island. There is only about one month's consumption of wheat in the placel People in the country are starving ! A re spectable inhabitant of Gasel Zebbug states that the poor are boiling the heads of the clover for soup In England all the ports are open for the introduction of grain of everytle description, free of duty; the Government should follow same example here, and ought instantly to takeoff on pulse until the approaching harvest, otherwise direful consequences must ensue."
