LONDON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 7.

A DEPOSITION taken by Mr. MANSFIELD, the
police magistrate, and published yesterday in our
columns, has led several correspondents to inquire
of us whether the "Doctor lir:NYEs" mentioned
therein is the same person whore letters on con-
sumption have appeared in several English papers
as " communications " to their editors. That, we
believe, is the fact, and we trust that what has
since become known will have the effect of directing
attention to an innovation against which it is im-
portant that the conductors of English newspapers
should set their faces. "Dr. HUNTER" has no
British qualification entitling him to prac-
tise medicine or surgery, yet he has been
permitted to do what we believe no British
physician or surgeon was ever allowed to
do, nor we hope ever will be—to publish
his advertisements, not in the ordinary form known
to Mr. MORISON and Professor HOLLOWAY, in
which they would have been at once recognised by
the public, but in that of scientific contributions
inserted in the body of the newspaper among the
original articles, reviews, letters to the editor, and
the like. The practice of publishing medical letters
in the public journals for the purpose of obtaining
patients sprang up in the United States ; but even
there we believe such letters are always printed
as advertisements, and then careat emptor.
To some readers it may seem of little consequence
whether letters of this kind come before the public
in one form or another, but "Dr. Hrstrit "
knows better, and pays to those who will take
his money much more than the price of acknow-
ledged advertisements, expressly to obtain the in-
sertion of his letters in the body of the paper,
among those articles over which the supervision of
the editor is supposed to be exercised, and in
order that they may seem to be published under
his sanction. It is not necessary to point out the
evils likely to follow such a deviation from the
established practice of the press. If our observa-
tion has been exact, some of our contemporaries
who at first sanctioned this departure from usage
subsequently perceived its impropriety, and dis-
continued the publication of these letters, and we
have little doubt that others will do so when they
have been led to consider the matter in italvarieus
bearings.

DR. T. K. CHLUBIIRS, as we learn from the
Lancet, is delivering, at St. Mary's Hospital, some
lectures on the climate of Italy and its effects on
health, and as his subject leads him to speak of the
mortality of children, he notices the Esp..sti
a clue to which there is no parallel in the Eng-
lish registers. At Genoa, and at many other
Italian cities, we are told, all illegitimate children
are so much as * matter of course thrust into the
turning-box at a foundling hospital. that Dr. Du
Jardin divides all births into " Legittimi " and
" Esposti." He conjectures that a few of the
" exposed " may be legitimate, put away by their
parents because they are sickly or starving ; but
experience does not enable him to stretch his fancy
so far as to suspect that any children born out of
wedlock are ever kept by the mother. Of these
"exposed" children, numbering 699 in the year,
336 were either taken out of the box dead, or died
within the current twelvemonth, so that the Es-
posti moth number nearly 1 in 12 of the deaths.
The social bearing of the fact, as Dr. Outman
observes, is obvious, and we commend it to the
attention of those who see in the extension and
multiplication of Foundling Hospitals the best
means of checking the mortality among infanta, of
which we have lately heard so much.

Tug Globe notioee our " cutious conjectures"
about the deeper causes of the insurrection in ,
Jamaica. Our contemporary is often able to 'mist
in the formation of scund public opinion by
drawing upon sources of highly authentic infor-
mation. If what we have said should have the
effect of inducing him to push his researches in
the present instance in the direction so familiar to
him, and then lay the fruits of them before the
public, the result will be the most instructive com-
mentary on our article that we could desire. It
will then be seen how far our statements were
conjectural, and whether this insurrection was, or
should have been, so wholly unexpected as the
public were at first led to suppose. By the way,
we did not state that the more intelligent of the
negroes objected to the political preponderance of
the whites, but to the too exclusive direction of
legislation to throe objects in which whites only
are interested.

THE Shenandoah has arrived in a British port
and surrendered to a British officer. The Ameri-
cans may be inclined to say that this is as it should
be; that it was only fitting that her end should be
as British as her origin. But we cannot help asking
how it is that this cruiser has been able to pursue
her course without the least interruption from the
navy of the United States. We have heard of her
in various parts of the world dealing destruction and
