POISONING BY MISTAKE.
TO THE EDITOB, OF THE DAILY NEWS.
SIR, —We beg to call your attention, and that of the public, to
another lamentable cue of poisoning, which has just occurred in
Bath, and which is reported in the " Times" of this day. Mien will
the world open its eyes to the monstrous absurdity of giving deadly
poisons for the cure of disease? And what is to be expected so long
as such deadly agents are used, and marks and dog-Latin given as
a guide to the compounder !I If life and death depend upon fractions
of grains—or " sol" for "sal' who shag be safe?
The British College of health and he Society of Hygeists, acting
upon the Hygei an system of James Morison, the Hygeist, have, dur-
ing the last 30 years, protested against the infamous practice of
holding out deadly poisons as medicines, or " medicinally," as it is
termed; and they again take this opportunity of recording such pro-
test. The public happen to hear of this case, because it is a medical
man who suffers ; but suppose it had been a patient, would It .not
have been hushed' up in oblivion? The British College of Health
presented to Parliamen', on the 15th of June, 1847, a petition against
poisons used as medicines, signed by 19,950 persons; and, on the 7tll
of July, 1851, they presented another petition, signed by 3,331 per-
sons, against writing prescriptions in Latin, and signs or marks.—

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.
The Himalaya, screw steam transport, Commander
Priest; RN., went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday
to prepare for the reception of horses, ecc., for the seat
of war.

The Gibraltar, No. 183 screw :transport, is lying off
Woolwich taking on board stores, and is also fitted for
the conveyance of troops to the Crirne,a.
We learn by electric telegraph-fiverpool-tbat the
City of Manchester steamer, of mere than 2,000 tons,
belonging to the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steam-ship
Company, and taken up by the French Government,
left that port for London last evening to complete load-
ing. She only arrived from Philadelphia yesterday
week. It is probable that lie will take cavalry from
Franca to the seat of war.

The Telegraph, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Com-
mander Jackson, the property of the Belfast Steam
Shipping Company, taken up by the Government as a
despatch transport (No. 184) to run between Balaklava
and Constantinople, is especially adapted for the service
fur which she has been engaged. She is now coaling,
while her cargo is alongside, and will leave Portsmouth
harboer in a day or two for the Crimea. She takes cut
Mr. Stewart, fireman of fitters, to Malta dockyard, six
fitters, two turners, and four boiler-makers for Con-
stantinople dockyard, and four petty officer., portions
of the retinue of Rear-Admiral Stewart and Captain
Hay. This vessel is splendidly fitted up, She was
the one chosen by the home authorities to transport
from Liverpool to Portsmouth a wretched staff of
50 car drivers, who are to be put under the Corn-
mimariat authorities at the seat of war. What with
dragging down the Channel in gales of wind and biting
cold, and then dragging up the Channel, the poor fel-
lows at length got knocked up, and are now sick-12
being officially reported as unfit to proceed ; the rest
are expected to be unfit for work too. On this state of
things being made known, the commander very pro-
perly applied for a hulk in which the poor starvelings of
drivers might be berthed to recruit themselves a little
while the Telegraph is coaling and shipping her cargo ;
but, although Portsmouth harbour is swarming with
them, he was told by the naval officer to whom he made
that requisition that it was not in the naval department,
but in the general's. There were four alterations of
mind as to her port of loading. Can anything better
exhibit the want of efficient management or " head', in
the transport service ?

" Sir George Anderson, late Governor of Ceylon, has
arrived at Suez by the steamer Bengal. Motives of
health will detain him for some months in Egypt.
" It seems to have been resolved to convert the large
barracks at Smyrna into an hospital for English troops.
Lieutenant-C:lone] Powell, 57th Regiment, has reached
that city to take possession. The Ottoman troops are
to be posted in other barracks. Other English officers
are expected daily at Smyrna.
"An English guard is about to be for:ned at Pera, at
the Galata Serai, to take the duties now intrusted to the
Ottoman troops.
"Yesterday her Majesty's ship Vengeance, 30, was
I'l-
reported from the signal station. She had been passed
in the Dardanelles by the Gorgon (which vessel arrived
at and left this port on Sunday last.) As, however, she
did not come into the harbour, but continued her route
with a fine breeze, it is propable that the vessel tele-
graphed was not the one reported.
"We have had no arrivals lately of troops. Trans-
ports reach port daily."
