There is one folly at which nearly every committee
wanly's, and that is the desire to advertise large
numbers of patients as relieved at their dispensary.
This leads to several evils. In the first place every
remwho applies is seen and prescribed for whether
elted, or the charity or not. The numbers
tlnesiessessed make so great a demand on the time

time. We bow rise dimeasary medical Aker who

We knew -_elute who raver allows his patients to
sit down ea sanest of the time lost in their sitting
down and rising up. Another mere half a dosen
patients in his room at the same time in order to
spare his waiting whilst each goes in and out. That
patients thus seen and treated can derive
much benefit from their attendance at the
dispensary we think there is reason to
doubt. is system arises from the ambi-
tion of displaying a large amount of cam-. re-
lieved. If any one will take the trouble to look at
the numbers of patients treated at dispensaries and
inquire with regard to the time occupied by the
medic :I men, they will :see that the kind of attend-
ance given gratis to the poor is vastly different from
that afforded for the payments of the wealthy. We
do not contend that this hasty advice may not be
better than nothing : we know the glance of the ex-
perienced eye will detect disease ; but we also know
that the researches of the modern pathologist have
shown that many states of the system are only to be
detected by chemical processes or delicate examina-
tions with the ear and eye ; and we feel that in
the hasty manner in which dispensary practice is
conducted, full justice is not done to those who
seek it for assistance. If committees, then, instead
of encouraging large numbers of patients to come to
their dispensaries, would limit them to those who ere
really deserving gratuitous aid, they would not give
their medical officers more to do than they can pos-
sibly attend to, and would secure much more efficient
medical advice than is done at present.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THIJRBDAI 6 TA.

Nothing is spoken of but the outrage offered by the
mob of St. Antoine to the President of the Republic.
Changed, icdeed, are the times since Louis Napoleon
was the darling of the blouses. At one time, there
exists now little doubt, the cept.ew of the emperor
might have been au emperor himself. lie had the
country with him sgsinet the Constituent Assembly.
He hal all parties of the country with him at the
moment when the famous letter to Edgar Ney seemed
to promise a new liberal policy on . the Roman
question. Never has any sovereign magistrate
enjoyed so extensive a suppnrt from all classes of
citizens against his own feeble ministers, as Louis
Napoleon enjoyed when misled and compromised by
De Torqueville, Odilon Barrot, and colleagues. But
the nick of time for availing himself of that
support, either for his own permitl aggran•
disement, or for strengthening the cation at
home or abroad, was missed. An obscure list of men,
without experience or ability were called about his
chair at the critics' h.ur, and the government war
engaged in a reactionary and wrong road. The Pre-
sident's popularity among the lower lzelf of the
na'ion disappeared nearly es quickly as Ni de Lamar-
tine's among the upper half; and he is now arrived at
a moment when he is betrayed by the highest and
hated by the lowest. His presieLney teems psss.ng
under threatful clouds to complete eclipse. As t
the ides of Louis Napoleon ever b :Mg Emperor, not a
soul in the least &mallet with politics entertains such
a notion.

The sitting of the Assembly yesterday was dis-
graced by one of the most scandalous tumults that
has de graded the parliamentary amide of the re-
public. It ended by the castigation of M. Miut, an
old offender, who was visited by the censure of the
Assembly for apolyirg to M. Denjoy the epithet
of police agent. M. I)enjoy, in the course of his ex-
planation of the cause of disorder, referred to the
outrage committed against the President of the Re-
public at the entrance of the Faubourg St. Antoine,
on his return from Vincennes. Great agitation fol-
lowed this allusion, in the midst of which General de
IHautpoul rose and protested against the statement of
M. Denjoy, adding that be himself was present, and
no insult had been addressed to the presideu.. This
contradiction of a fact which is well attested by many
other spectators, wee received by the Left with jeers.
In fact, whatever the ministers choose to say in
public about this deplorable affair, I have heard from
inconte s ible authority that the sirens in question
gre a•ly surpassed in violence what I described in my
despatch of yesterday. Several thousand workmen met
the cortege at the entrance of the Pantie urg St.Antuine.
A yellof " A bee lee tyrans!" was set up. O.e workman
mounted the carriage and shook his fist in the Preei-
dent's face. A footman was so illtreated by the mob
that he is laid up with the contusions he received.
The escorting cuirassiers either would not act ur were
orde►ed not to act At all events they were quite
passive. The party in the carriage consisted of
Edgar Noy, Heutpoul, and Lahitte. Crangareier
was not present. It is considered highly fortunate
that the military escort preserved a passive attitude.
Had they charged the mob, the probability is that the
whole party would have been torn to shreds. Tois
affair has made a deeper impression in upper circles
than I can (-sprees.
The only speech of any value in the sitting of the
Assembly was a vi•elent attack by Jules Fate upon
the police system of the government.
M. J. Fevre took occasion of the chapter of the
budget relating to the secret eerv:co money being
brought forward, to review the conduct of the minis-
try ; and, in the midst of the excitement produced,
some words took place between M. Duche and M.
Chas'a&gne•Goyon, which led to explanations from
the tribune. M. Illioche then replied to M. Jules
Fevre, and eventually an amendment of this latter
gentleman, propoeing a reduction on the chapter, was
rejected by 440 votes to 175. M. Fould escended the
tribune at one moment of the sitting to pre s-at the
budget of receipts for 1851, but the agitation was so
great that he postponed his statement to this day.
In the sitting of the Assembly to-day, Dupin has
been re-elected president by a censiderable m .Fority.
The Minister of Finance laid on the table the bill
for the budget of 1851, and read the e xposition of the
motive,.

The Presse of this morning has a singular INA ; its
first page resembl,a a posting bill, for it cmtains in
large characters the prospectus of the R publican
Club, which used to meet at the Pasis National, and
of which M. Goodch; ux was president. The obj-ct
of the Passe iu this publication is t ) hold up the
past of the Minister of the Interior, M. Barocke, who
wee one of the rice-pro>idents of this club. The
Preese places at the Lot of the propectus of the
club some remarks on the apostacy of M. Hareem..
The Moniteur cmtains notices fixing fir April 28
Ihe elections for the departments of the Seine and
;he Mae-et-Loire, of one member f,r the former, in
place of M. Vidal, and of six in the latter, in place of
those persons whose el, ction was dtc'srtd null and
void.

The Monikur publishes a d.cree from the President
of the Republic for the formation of a consultative
committee for Algeria, to be clinpos,d of nine mem-
bers, with the office of eximining and discussing all
the met sures saieciully connected with t'-.e colony.
This bogy is to be connected with the wir depart-
ment, and all it. communications are to pies through
the minister's hinds.

M. Adolphe Barrot,minist.r of the French republic
at Lisboa, arrived yesterday in Paris.
