THE DAY OF THE DERBY'
A DITTY FOR THE DOWNS.
, Blame not my admiration, when I say,
' I love the pleasures of a Derby Day ;
For pleasing is the scene Which yearly crowns
The verdant slopes of Ept om's far-famed Downs.
The dawning of the day is ushered In
Wit& animating stir and welcome din ;
And many a face with smiling gladness shows
That many a breast with sporting ardour glows.
This season is a holiday in which
The young and old partake—the poor and rich.
The road-side Inns throughout the exciting day,
A scene of glad activity display ;
While loaded vehicle, from neighbouring towns
Convey their thousands to the busy Downs.
Blame not my admiration when I say
' I love the pleasures of a Derby Day.
Is there not much to notice and admire
In multitudes adorned with choice attire.
On this glad day the crowded race-course shows
The choicest specimens of summer clothes.
Moses and Son are seen in every track,
And I had, nearly said on every back ;
And such attractions would alone repay
A trip to Epsom on the Derby Day.
lf, reader, you'have never chanced to view
What Moses' Dress Establishment can do.
A visit to the Epsom Downs will show
What vast improvements to this Mart we owe.
Thet e you will see the new Spring Wrappers worn,
With every beauty that can well adorn; •
And dress-coats, sporting-coats, and frock-coats too,
• Bud vests and trousers elegant to view;
While well-shed feet as well as well-decked crowns,
'Contribute to the scene on Epsom Downs,
'And render Moses with their choice display,
Successful winners on the Derby Day.

DECLARATION OF THE BRITISH
COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW-ROAD, LONDON,
AS REGARDS POISONS.
Unless Parliament prevents the use and sale altogether
of the deadly poisons whirl now disgrace the chemists' shops
of the country, the whole social system is placed in con-
stant jeopardy. Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, proved by
facts that such poisons are totally unnecessary in
the cure of diseases ; nay, that so far from such
poisons tending to cure any disease, the very reverse is
fact. The admission by doctors themselves that these poisons
aresufficient to kill in fractions of a grain, one would have sup-
posed would have opened the eyes of the world on such a pal-
pable question, and nothing but the complete state of
ignorance in which the people have been kept.as regard the
cause of diseases can account for the'evil having been allowed
to continue so long. Poisons, the public should bear in mind,
are the means by which doctors keep the people under their
thumbs. The guinea trade depends upon such poisons.
Take them away and there is immediately an end to the
mystery and contusion which at present enshroud the science
of medicine. All the cases of poisoning which have lately
occurred proceed from the parties having taken a lesson
from the doctors. The doctors, as the patrons and intro-
ducers of such poisons, are responsible for such poisonings ;
and bear in mind that when such poisoning occurs under
the doctor, it is not then called poisoning, but when a mis-
creant commits the deed, it is then called murder, and the
doctors then appear as witnesses against the parties, although
they themselves are the patrons and introducers of those very
poisons which have been used by the poisoner, Can any
thing be moreJesuitical ? The fraud cannot last much longer.
The reason that doctors have abused Mr. Morison is because,
by his theOry (known as the Hygeian system, in the carry-
ing out of which he only employs innocuous vegetables
purgatives), he has exposed these poisons of the doctors as
totally useless, and that they are in short brought before the
public to support the " guinea trade." If proof were further
required that these poisons are all humbug as regards the
cure of diseases, it might be found in the fact that doctors
are every six months bringing out some new poison, only
more subtle and deadly than the last; this they
do by the
aid of chemistry, and they call it science. Oh! oli ! We
now beg to call the attention of your readers to the followingl4
8 petition, signed by nearly 20,000 persons, presented in 7
by Sir Benjamin Hall, the Member for this borough. It is
as follows :

Copy of the people's petition against the medicinal use of
poisons,, presented to the House of Commons on Tuesday,
the 15th June, 1847, by Sir ilernamin Hall, Bart-, M.P. :
"To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The
humble petition of the undersigned showeth, that your peti-
tpdoiiinffsoenrenn
tioners have observed with great alarm the numerous cases of
secret poisonings which have lately occurred throughout the
country, effected by prussic acid, arsenic, or other deadly
chemical preparations. That your. petitioners humbly sub-

is only a question of a few grains or diops. That your peti-
tioners humbly submit that no man, however educated he
may be, is capable of determining the quantity of such rank
poisons that would not be fatally injurious. That your
petitioners are informed, and verily believe, that many hon-
est and eminent medical men altogether dissent from the ad-
ministration of the before-mentioned rank poisons, such as
the hydropathic doctors, &c. That your petitioners beg to re-
mind your Honourable House that the question now agitated
by the temperance people throughout the world, in regard to
the propriety of checking, by legislative enactment, the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic poison, so destructive to the lives of
thousands, is in point of fact the very same in principle as that
for which your petitioners now contend. Your petitioners,
therefore, most humbly pray your Honourable House that a
Comniission may be appointed, consisting of scientific per-
sons having no interest whatever, either directly or indirectly
in `tbe issue, to inquire whether the before-mentioned rank
poisons are really and truly necessary in the practice of medi-
cine; and that if it be found that they are not necessary,
then that your Honourable House may be pleased to enact
that the sale and manufacture of suck chemical poisons may
be put under proper restrictions, in so far as the lives of the
people are concerned, or adopt such other course as to your
Honourable House may seem fit. And your petitioners will
ever pray, &c.—[N.B.—Signed by 19,950 persons.]
One would have supposed, after this expression of public
opinion, doctors would have deemed themselves bound to
give some public explanation about these poisons. No—
they say nothing. The day has gone by when such an ap-
peal might have been treated with contempt, and we frankly
tell them that there are thousands and thousands, not only in
this country, but throughout the world, who look with horror
and detestation at the terrible poisons which now disgrace
medicine, but which are still upheld that the guinea trade
may thrive. (Signed)

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.

The Small Debts (Scotland) Bill was read a third
time, and passed.
Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from certain
of the clergy of the Established Church against the lay

AFFAIRS OF THE RIVER PLATE.

The Earl of HARROWBY asked whether any ar-
rangement Iral been entered into with Gtneral Rosas
with regard to the affairs of the River Plate, whether
the account of such arrangement which had appeared in
the newspapers was true, and whether her Majesty's
Government had ratified such arrangement?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that a negotia-
tion was pending, and was not yet concluded, but he
hoped it would lead to a satisfactory result. (In con-
sequence of the loud tine in which conversation
was carried on by a group of persons at the foot of the
Throne, the answer of the Noble Marquis was almost
inaudible.)
The Earl of ABERDEEN said that if the arrange-
ment took place upon the bases which he had proposed
it would be satisfactory. He had beard that modifica-
tions were to be introduced, but he would state that no
arrangement should be entertained which did not ac-
knowledge the independence of the state of Monte Video,
which had been guaranteed by this country.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE made a few observa-

to have the terrors and effects which formerly marked
them. These, then, were not the days in which excom-
munications were much to be feared; but if there was
one thing more to be feared than another, it was that
that 'the Bishop of one Church should have the power to
excommunicate the ministers of another communion.
The Bishop of EXETER thanked the Noble Duke
who had just sat down for the sentiments which he
had given expression to. He rejoiced in the sentiments
of the Noble Duke on the question of excommunication.
and he earnestly wished that excommunication could
have no temporal operation whatever; and he wished
that it was abolished as havingsuch effect; but be could,
however, tell the Noble Duke that excommunication

Church of England was a branch of the Holy Catholic
Church, but had no jurisdiction ,beyond its own limits.
It was the duty of the members of the Church of Eng-
land going within the jurisdiction of another church, if
it was a sound branch of the Holy Catholic Church, are
bound to comply with the laws of that. Church. Now, if
these parties were not members; of the Church of. Eng.
land, what right httd they to call upon their Lordships
to interfere with the Church of Scotland?
Dird BROUGHAM—The Episcopal Church of Scot- '
land.

The Bishop of EXETER—He would call it what be
pleased.—(Laughter and cheers.) If he spoke contrary
to an Act of Parliament, the Noble Lord might have
his words taken down.

Lord BROUGHAM— Ob, no, no!
The Bishop of EXETER—It was one of those offers
be knew which were seldom accepted, but he hoped the
Noble Lord would allow him to, proceed without inter
ruption. The Episcopal Church of Scotland was only
tolerated, and therefore it would be tyranny to legislate
for it. In the times of James the First, the Bishops of
the Scotch Church rejected certain portions of the liturgy
of the Church of England, claiming the right to adapt
it to their own use. The liturgy which was so adapted
had obtained the preference of some of the greatest
names in the Church of England, as more conformable
to primitive purity, and more in resemblance with that
of Edward the Sixth. It was not only many Bishops of
'the Church of England that preferred the liturgy of the
Church of Scotland, but the Church which was esta-
blished in America, only since the declaration of inde•
pendence, adopted that liturgy. , His principle had no-
thing to do with the law of the land, but with the law of
the Church, which he contended gave these Bishops in
Scotland power to exercise jurisdiction independent of
the law.

Lord BROUGHAM said the Right Rev. Prelate
had takon exception to the designation of a Roman
Catholic Bishop, in Ireland as the Bishop of a diocese,
and intimated he should be designated, not of, but in
Ireland.

The Bishop of CASHEL said be could not admit that
a member of the Church of England was bound to unite
in worship with the Church of Scotland unless it held
the truth, no more than they could with the Roman
Catholic Church ; and in making that declaration he
did not consider that he violated the discipline of the
Church in refusing to commune with the Episcopal
Church of Scotland, when he considered it er-
roneous, no more than be would in refusing
to commune with the Epiacopal Church of
Rome because it was erroneous. With regard to the
prayer-book of Edward VL, it retained a great deal
of the Roman doctrine. There was in that book
mention of an altar and a sacrifice. The Church of
Scotland made this prayer-book of prime authority,
and went farther than it by introducing words more
resembling transubstantiation. He contended that
members of the Church of England in Scotland should
have the right of having the service of the Church of
England for their use. The complaint made against the
Church of England was that it had not gone far enough
from Rome;, but the charge against the Episcopal
Church of Scotland was that it was going back to Rome.
The Earl of MINTO said he was, like the Noble
Duke on the cross benches, quite indifferent to the dis-
pute between the parties. He was against the Episcopal
Church of Scotland being placed upon any other loot-
ing than that of a sect. He did not moan to say
that the Scotch Episcopalians might not labour under
dome grievances which it might be well to remove, and he
thought they should be placed on the same footing as any
other c'ass of Dissenters.--(Hear, hear.)
The Bis Lop of EXETER, in explanation, said, that as
long as the Church of Scotland was the Established
Church, he would not deny its lawful right to the st
a-
tutes of the Established Church.
The Duke of lIUCCLEUCII said he had no inten-

tion, in the few words he wished to addrisss to their
Lordships, to enter into the details of the question under
The EpiScopalians of Scotl:l4. did nu as-
some for their Church any right oriraus as the Esta-
blished Church, but they did seek for it a status as an
Episcopal Church. When he (the Duke of Duecleuch)
saw persons who were brought up in the ut,iversties—
who were holding the cure of souls, and who were men
of high character and talent, when he saw these men
accept of their ch,ction to become Bishops in the Epis-
copal Church of Scotland, and who were distinguished us
its ard( nt supporters, he could not believe that there was
anything in the dtictrine of that Church to favour the
supposition of error which had been attributed to it.—
(Hear, hear.) In conclu,ion, the Noble Duke said he
did not see in what way their Lordships could interfere
in the matter.

Lord BROUGHAM said a few words in explanation.
The Bishop of OXFORD said he would not have ad-
dressed their Lordships out for what had fallen from his
Right Rev. Friend (the Bishdp of Cashel). His Right.
Rev. Friend had complained of the mode of administering
the Lord's Supper by the Episcopal Church of Scotland,
and alleged that it was more of a Popish character than
anything else. They had just had a statement that they
were in communion with that Church, and yet his Right
Rev. Friend had considered himself justified in speaking
of it in terms such as he had adverted to. The opinions
held by Bishop Horsley had been alluded to, and it ap-
peared he said that au appointment to a Bishopric in
Scotland was no better passport to the English Church
than an appointment in Mesopotamia. His Right Rev.
Friend (the Bishop of Cashel) said the Episcopal Church
of Scotland was one with which they should not have
any communion, and he concluded by quoting the pas-
sage—" Come out from among them, and be ye sep.:-
rate." Novi, he would ask, was it right that such
language should be held regarding a Church with
which they were in communion? It was charged against
the Episcopal Church of Scotland, that the prayer used
in administering the Sacrament was Roman Catholic in
its character; but he (the Bishop of Oxford) would con-
tend, that so far from such being the case, it was a
prayer that the Roman Catholic Church rejected alto-
lether. The Right Rev. Prelate then entered into an
examination of the doctrines held by the Roman Ca-
tholic Church with reference to the Sacrament. and con-
tended that, as regarded trausubstantiation, the Scotch
Episcopal Church held an entirely different doctrine. It,
then, there was a readiness to take up offence where no
offence was intended, he would ask what could be more
dangerous than to let such statements go forth?—(Hear,
hear.) He would also remind their Lordships that Mr.
Drummond had stated that the Scotch communion office
was not the reason of his leaving the Scotch Episcopal
Church. He thought their Lordships should be
cautious bow they exercised any interference in such a
matter. The people of Scotland hated the Pope for three
reasons:—first, they hated him because he was a
Catholic, second, because they believed him to be the
Scarlet Lady, and, third, they hated him because he was
a bishop. Any interference the House could exercise
was of a legal character, and he would ask their Lord-
ships, were they prepared, in the face of the union be-
tween the two countries, to endeavour to set up any
episcopacy whatever against the ancient Episcopacy of
Scotland, and the established, but, as ho thought, mis-
taken religion of the country.
The Earl of HARR° WBY said he must agee with
the Right Rev. Prelate who had just resumed his seat,
that it was very difficult to find any ground whatever for
inte.rference. The Church of England recognised mem-
bers of the Church of Scotland as members of its own
community, and it would be as absurd to give the Bishop
of London, for example, jurisdiction over a Scotch clergy-
man, as it was proposed should be exercised over the ap-f
pointment of chaplains at foreign ports. The reason of,
the disadvantages under which many English clergymen
in Scotland often lay was, that they adhered too closely
to the liturgy which they originally accepted, when they
were ordained.
Earl PO WIS wished to suggest to the House whether
their Lordships bad not been discussing at too great
length the question whether accleorgs
clergyman
serve in
me:n of the Church
of England and Ireland col.
d n
Scotland under the Episcopalian Church of that country.
If their Lordships had contented themselves with bring-
ing the argument within narrower
time
alvie got through themits, it was pro-
bable that they might by that have
Committee on the navigation-laws. He would not enter
into the question of the status of the Scotch Episcopal
Church, because he thought that this petition was merely
a fishingpetition, intended to, prejudice their Lordships
minds in the case of Bishop Skinner and Sir William
Dunbar, which were about to come before their Lordships
in a judicial capacity. 'There was no occasion to preju-
dice their Lordships with reference to those cases, be-
cause they had already been stated cx parte in Scot-
land, and had been pronounced upon by the Learned
Judges of that country, on an appeal from which they
would shortly be beard at the bar of their Lordships'
House.
The Earl of GALLOWAY said he felt sensibly that
the petitioners had a grievance to complain of, and that
they were perfectly right in representing to the House
the practical tyranny exercised over them by the Epis-
copal Church of Scotland. The views of the Right
Reverend Prelate the Bishop of Oxford went to un-
church every denomination of Christians except Epis-
copalians, not only in Scotland but in England. He
felt most warmly on this subject, and he was convinced
that, without doing any violence to the body of the
Episcopal Church, or to the opinion of the Right Rev.
Prelate, the wishes of the petitioners might be substan-
tially acceded to.
Lord BROUGHAM replied he did not think that the
observation of the Noble Earl behind him (Earl Powis)
thllt OAS was a fulling petition, designed tc elicit the
