These diseases all effect the windpipe, or lungs, and in this

The first slight ceugh, the first difficulty of breathing, the
premonitory tightness across the chest, should give the
alarm that no ordinary foe is bearing down, and stout and
vigorous must be the opposing power that can drive his
pioneers from the frame. Holloway's Ointment, well
rubbed upon the chest, is a most efficient ally against all

wheezing, alike yield to the influence of this magic

DEATH OF PROFESSOR LIZARS.

It is our painful duty to announce the sudden
death of Professor John Lizars, of this city (Edin-
burgh). Up to Sabbath last the professor was in the
enjoyment of his wonted health, and appeared to
many a man who might safely calculate on years of
vigorous usefulness. So late as Saturday he engaged
himself to lunch on the subsequent day at the house
of one of his oldest friends, but feeling somewhat
indisposed, thought it prudent to remain at home.
As the Sabbath advanced he complained of a sleepy
sensation, gradually became quite insensible, and
soon discovered all the symptoms of congestion of
the brain. The disease rapidly increased, and,
without any return of consciousness, cut short his
career on the evening of Monday, at an age consi-
derably beyond the allotted span.

Professor Lizars was a pupil and apprentice of
that eminent surgeon, the late John Bell, whom he
resembled in not a few features of his character, and
for whom, till his death, he entertained the most
profound regard. Shortly after receiving his di-
ploma, he was appointed surgeon on beard of one
of our ships of war, in the fleet under the command
of Admiral Lord Napier, and saw something of
active service on the Spanish and Portuguese coasts
during the Peninsular war. Lord Napier had the
utmost respect for his old " messmate, and never
visited Edinburgh without an interview. On leav-
ing the navy Mr. Lizars settled in this city, and
for upwards of 40 years he maintained in the midst
of us the character-of a sagacious surgeon and skil-
ful operator.
About 30 years ago he was appointed to succeed
the late John Thomson as Professor of Surgery in
connection with the Edinburgh Royal College of
Surgeons—a position which he filled honourably
for a considerable number of years, and in which
he gained the esteem of his students by the highly
practical character of his prelections, and by his
bland though outspoken manners. ile was also
for a considerable period the senior operating sur-
geon of the Royal Infirmary—a position which he
held contemporaneously with the late Mr. Liston.
Of John Bell, Lizars, and Liston, it is to be re-
marked that all of them were possessed of very
masculine natures. As operators they were always
bold, but never reckless, and whilst by their intre-
pidity and skill they saved much unnecessary
pain, their forethought led them to make provision
for every emergency, and their genius to escape
from the dangers which would have startled less
skilful men.

Professor Lizars was the first to suggest, in the
year 1826, the removal of the upper maxilla in
diseases of the antrum—an operation which was
soon afterwards performed successfully by M.
Geussoul, after the method proposed by Mr.
Lizars ; and it has since been frequently performed,
generally with the best results. He was also
among the first to expose the fallacy, long preva-
lent, and calculated to produce the most alarming
results, of cholera being contagious is its character
—a theory now all but universally exploded. His
strictures on the " Treatment and Cure of Club-
foot" are very valuable, and his operations for the
disease have frequently been successful when others
have failed. He is the author of other works, and
was a contributor to several of our medical jour-
nals ; but his most important work is a volume of
" Anatomical Plates," which has been favourably
received by the press and by the profession,
For a period of 30 or 40 years Mr. Lizars de-
voted an hour each day to the giving of gratuitous
advice to poor patients, and was visited annually,
on an average, by upwards of 2,000 persons. He
operated in all the most dangerous and difficult sur-
gical cases, from removing the femur from the
acetabulum to the tying of the arterea innomi-
nata in cases of aneurism ; and among all who knew
him he had the character of a wise, skilful, and in-
trepid operator. The medical world has lost a man
of profound practical sagacity, and who, though
not without many imperfections, possessed withal
a genial and generous nature.— C'aledonian Mercury.

Mr. Bright's speeches without the harrowing sense
that the proprietors of the newspaper in which they
appeared were ruining themselves for the advance-
ment of the human species ! What more could a
patriotic navvy or artisan require ? Therefore by
all means keep up the war tax upon tea and sugar.
Ar.d, if it is necessary, put on new taxes on this or
that, or on anything you like, but—take it off
paper. We have a particular reason for wishing it
to be taken off paper—not a selfish reason, of
course, for we are tribunes of the people and
friends of humanity. But the thing has an ugly
look. It is a tax upon knowledge, and knowledge,
we all know, is " power."
It is very true. But somehow or other it is not
bread and butter, nor tea and sugar. Besides,
" Knowledge," as Manchester understands it, is
not, we humbly submit, a power worth cultivating.
We do not like its selfishness; we do not like its
Peace craze; we do not like its postponement of
all the noble instincts of man's nature to the pro-
fitable turning of one's money. " Perish Savoy !"
still rings offensively in our ears, and we feel per-
suaded that the more the principles of the Man-
chester School spread themselves over the land—it
such a calamity is in active store for us—the more
will the old spirit of the English race recede and
dwindle till the face of the land shall become
changed. A nation of shopkeepers we know we
are, and we are not ashamed of it. But far distant
be the day when we shall forget the example of our
fathers, and cling to the scales and the measure
when the honour of our country calla us to fly to
the rifle and the bayonet. Manchester would ad-
vise us to forget that glorious example; for surely
that which is mean, selfish, and dishonourable in
peace, can never present a chivalrous front to the
perils of war.-4 dvertiser.

THE LANDING OF GA:RIBALDI.

OFFICAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Government last night printed, for the use of
both Houses, correspondence relating to the landing
of Garibaldi and his gallant followers in Sicily. It
consists of letters from Vice-Admiral Fanshawe
(May 12) to the Admiralty, Commander Marryat
(enclosure) ; a second from Admiral Fanshawe
(May 14), Captain Cochrane (enclosure) ; Comman-
der Aynsley (enclosure), the latter containing the
detailed account of the landing of Garibaldi.
The first paper announces that the Admiral bas
sent the Intrepid to Marsala to join the Argus, and
that Captain Cochrane of the Amphion, and Com-
mander Marryat, saw two Sardinian steamers
throw large bodies of Italian soldiers on shore.

the information of her Majesty's Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a letter from Vic?-
Admiral Fanshawe, dated the 12th inst., with copy
of its enclosure, reporting the circumstances attend-
ing the landing of General Garibaldi in Sicily.
" I am, &c., " W. G. ROMAINE."

VICE-ADMIRAL SIR A. FANSHAWE TO THE SECRE-
TARY TO THE ADMIRALTY.

" Marborough, at Malta, May 12.
" Sir,—With reference to the sixth paragraph of
my letter of the 7th inst., acquainting you, for the
information of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty, that the Intrepid, on being relieved by the
Scylla, would proceed to Palermo, and return to
Malta calling at Trapani, Marsala, and Girgenti on
her way.
"2. I have the honour to request you will be
pleased to inform their Lordships that the Intrepid
arrived at Marsala yesterday, meeting the Argus
there, which sloop had been sent by Captain Coch-
rane to remain a few days, in consequence of the
Vice-Consul and the British resid3nts having been
called upon to deliver up their arms, for the pur-
pose of affording them any protection that might
be necessary ; and the Intrepid has just arrived here
bringing me the intelligence that about 4 p.m. yes-
terday, while Commander Marryat was on shore at
Marsala, learning from the Acting Vice Consul the
state of the town and country, two small merchant
steamers, under Sardinian colours, steamed rapidly
in, and threw on shore, with the assistance of boats
from the place, large bodies of armed Italian sol-
diers, who quickly moved up and took possession
of the town without opposition, there being no
troops in the place, and were well received by,the
population.
" 3. Commander Marryat reports the force landed
to consist of 2,000 men under General Garibaldi. I
enclose a copy of his letter of proceeding for their
Lordships' information.

(Enclosure 2 in No. 1.)
" COMMANDER MARRYAT TO VICE-ADMIRAL SIR A.
FANSAA WE.
" Intrepid, ay 12.
" Sir,—ln compliance with your orders, delivered
to me by Capt. Lambert, of her Majesty's ship
Scylla, I left Messina on the evening of the 9th inst.
for Palermo, where I arrived the following morning
early, and communicated with Capt. Cochrane, of
her Majesty's ship Amphion, who informed me I
was to proceed to join your flag, calling at Trapani,
Marsala, and Girgenti on the way.
" On the 11th I saw the Vice-Consul at the first-
named place. He stated that demonstrations had
occurred there, in which high and low, rich and
poor joined. All the people had, however, been
disarmed by an order of the General, himself among
the number, which had caused him much annoy-
ance ; but, as the Consul at Palermo has referred
this question to our Minister at Naples, I advised
him to wait his answer.

" Thence I proceeded to Marsala, where I was
joined by her Majesty's ship Argus. While on
shore, learning from the Vice-Consul the state of
th• town and country, two steamers came in sight
under Sardinian colours, and, steaming right up to
the mole, began to discharge large bodies of armed
men.

" I should mention that the largest steamer of the
two grounded about 100 yards from the end of the
mole, but boats of all kinds were soon around her
to assist in landing the men.
"Five or six miles distant was a Neapolitan
steamer of war, and further off a large sailing fri-
gate. The first bore up for the port, and was
within easy range of her guns before half the men
were out of the vessel aground, but, for some rea-
son, did not open fire till they were all formed and
marching into the town. The frigate also came
down, with a strong breeze, in time to deliver one
ineffectual broadside.
" The commander of the steamer went on
board the Intrepid and made some inqui-
ries about these troops, and stated that he
must open fire directly, and requested any
English officers who might be in the city would
leave immediately.
" I sent an officer there accordingly, and hoisted
the general recall, but the gates had been seized by
the new arrivals, and they were stopped, very
civilly, and informed that they must get a permit
from General Garibaldi, who of course granted it.
" Accompanied by Commander Ingram and Mr.
Cousins, now acting for the Vice-Consul, I went on
board the Neapolitan steamer. The officer in com-
mand told me that a large body of armed foreigners
had landed, and that he had been obliged to fire on
them. He seemed exceedingly nervous and agitated
about the affair, and I observed that they particu-
larly avoided firing on the steamers, which still kept
Sardinian colours flying, without a pendant.
" On our return to the Intrepid I found a Nea-
politan officer on board, who had come from another
steamer. He had been sent by the Commander,
with a request that I would send a boat, accom-
panied by this officer, to the Sardinian steamers,
asking them to surrender ; which 1 most positively
declined to do, for these reasons—if the vessels were
total abandoned, which I fully believed they were,
he simply wanted the use of the English flag to
ascertain the fact; and if, on the contrary, they still
had men on board, it might be asserted our flag was
used for the means of making them surrender.
Eventually, boats were sent on board, manned and
armed, from all the Neapolitan vessels of war, the
Sardinian colours hauled down, and possession
taken.
" I should add that, when on board the steamer
that was firing, I requested that the English flag,
wherever it was flying, should be respected, which
the officer said should be most strictly done.
" Considering this to be the most important event
that has occurred during the insurrection in Sieily,
I deemed it advisable to come on here with all
despatch to inform you of it ; and as, by going to
Girgenti, I should have been too late to afford you
the opportunity of writing to England by this day's
mail, I have not complied with that portion of
Captain Cochrane's instructions.
i‘ Her Majesty's ship Argus I left at Marsala,
