of the breast, with difficulty of breathing; violent palpitations of
the heart, sudden flushes of beat in various parts of the body; at
other times i sense of cold, as if water was poured en them;
flying pains in the arms and limbs, back and belly, resembling
those occasioned by the gravel; the pulse very variable, some,
times uncommonly slow, at other times very quick; yawning..

a ball or lump in the throat; alternate fits of crying and convul-

patient often troubled with horrid dreams. Much has been said
by interested individuals against medicines that are advertised;

MINUTES OF EVMENCE TAKEN BEFORE A COM-

(Continued from our Paper of Yesterday.)

BIAIIINATION OF DR. WM. POYNTER. ROMAN CATHOLIC

BISHOP or 'TH N LONDON DISTRICT-CONTINUED.

Then you conceive the religious instruction which
might be conveyed by•teaching them to read the Pro-
testant Scriptures would not better their moral con-
dition, in yout view ?—Certainly not.
Yon mentioned thi.t you conceived that children
should be taught their duty to GOD and to society ;
the Protestants conceive that those great duties are
taught children by reading the Scriptures; but is it
your opinion that further instruction is necrssary to
accomplish this great object ?—lt is, decidedly.
You also stated that the great motives for the per-
forming their ditty must be strongly enforced, do you
not believe that those motives are strongly en.
forced by the arguments and commands in the Holy
Scriptures, according to the Protestant version ?
Without saying more of the Protestant version than
what I have said in my former Answers, which we
could not admit as Catholics. I beg, td observe, that
I do not conceive that children simply by reading
the dcriptures would sufficiently learn their duty, or
be ab!e to apply to themselves, in a practical manner,
those motives which should influence their moral
conduct. _ _

Do, you not imagine that children being taught to
read moral lessons taken from the Scriptures, and to
commit them occasionally to memory, might by thii
means receive moral and good principles in their
minds without any further instruction ?—I think not
sufficient in general for a prictical effect.
Then you conceive if a selection of Moral precepts
were 'made from the Scriptures and taught to the
children, that such instruction Would not be sufficient
to produce right principles in their minds•?--I do not
think it would be sufficient.
If children were allowed to attend their earn etcle•
siastical instructors, hi addition to such education in
schools, you still think it weiUld be objectionable if
given by Protestants Object to the religious or
moral instruction of the children given by Prbtes.
tants, and beg to aald that such are the occupations
of the Catholic" Clergy on Sundays, in the public
chapels, that on those days they would not have
leisure to atteod to the instruction of thostchifdresoi
'according to their wants.
And you could not allow children to be histrutted
by the laymen in the Catholic Church in 'the articles
of tbeit faith I--Certainly we tOuld not, consistently
with the pudic and discipline.of our Church, •
Do you Mow of any School latelireatabliihed

Was Mr. Butler sufficiently acquainted with the
principles of the Catholic Church to know, previous ,
to any arrangement being made with the Protestant
gentlemen at Shad well, that his proraition in regard
to the introduction of the Protestant version of the
New Testament into that school could not be assented
to by his ecclesiastical superiors ?—I was persuaded
that he was sufficiently acquainted with the princi-
ples of the Catholic Church in that regard, and there-
fore in my answer to him, I referred to his own con-
viction by saying, 16 You know that I should act in
direct repugnante to the constant and universal prac-
tice of the Catholic Church," Ste. I may add, that
I conceived the question proposed to me by Mr.
Butler, whether Catholics could conscienOottily se&
their children to the school, was a question which
shouldyather have. been proposed to me by.tbe clergy •
who direct the consciences of the people within their
district, and therefore I did not think-a my duty nor
prudent to give a direct answer to Mr. Butler on gip
question.
Did you consider Mr. Butler's interference in that
business tobe irregular ?—Yes, inasmuch as o-
pr
posed a question to me, whether the parent's could
conscientiously send their children to that school
Did you understand that Mr: BUtler engaged so
diver an oration upon the occasion of opening that
school had heard it reported.
Did Mr. Butler attend the opening of that school?
I have been informed that he did not.
Was that in consequence of what passed between
you and
,himself ? I thinkil was.
Had you expressed to Mr. Butler any wish to be
examined before this Committee ?—Certainly not.;
and I beg the Committee to. understand that, it was
not my wish to appear before the Committee to give
evidence on this occasion : and it having been signi•
fled to me that I wax' called at the suggestion. of Mr.
Butler, I beg to say, that Mr. Butler never consulted
me to know whether it would be agrceahle to me or
not to appear before the Committee: and I *appro.
bend that he wished to force me to give a public
answer to those quertions before the Committee.
which from prudential reasons I had declined ans-
wering in private to him, and 1 am confirmed in this
persuasion from the circumstance that the same gum
lions have been proposed to myself and the other
Catholic clergy who have been examined before the
Committee, which Mr. Butler privately proposed to
Me, and to which 1 declined giving Mr. Butler a
direct answer.—To lecossiistraL

The number of persons that fall victims to disor-
ders, produced by consulting illiterate pretenders,
is incredible—the latent seed of a dreadful disease it
suffered to lurk in the system, and too often shorten
life; these circumstances induced Dr. Comm, and
three Surgeons of thirty years experience, to establish -
a Medical Board at Charlotte-House, Great Char-
lotte-street, opposite the Rev. Rowland Hill's Cha-
pel, Blackfriars Road. The Medical Board claims
the attention of those who have been improperly
reated, and particularly those afflicted witth Suit.
