THE GCOD TASTE OF THE LEAGLERS DIS-
PLAYED AT THE RECENT ENTERTAIN-
SIENTS TO SIR HENRY POTTINGER.

When Sir Henry Pottineer, the distinguished envoy to
China, was entertained with a pablic barquet in the City
of London, statesmen and merchants of every shade
political opinion by one consent laid down, whilst uniting
to do him honour, not only the bitterness and jealousies
of pasty, but even the reference to party dogmas. It was
a universal benefit which had been consummated by Sir
Henry, and universally, and with unanimity, it was ao-
knowledged. The treaty pith China had not been dicta-
ted without any reference to party politics, and it was
rightly judged that its author could be compl naented
without the necessity of any a lusion to politics.
The league, however, in this parr of tbe'world, thought
otherwise; and accordingly one of its members thought
the dinner, given to this distinguished man by the
merchants of Liverpool, and the presence there of
a cabinet minister, a proper opportunity for delivering
himself of a free trade speech, with a world of elaborate
statistics, and a torturing of cocker worthy of Joseph
Hume himself. Another tree trace advocate was
present, and succeeded in perfecting an insult upon
good taste and the feelings of the influential o ajori‘y
of the assembly in wEich he was a guest. Mr. James
Bazley, junior, leaguer, chairman of the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce, and empty-headed as chair-
men of that illustrious body have proved themselves
of late years, managed, without breaking down, to mar
the unanimous feeling which actuated the remaining
portion of the assembly, and to discourse learnedly of ex-
ports and imports, cotton crops and calico.
We anticipated that the same conduct would character-
ize the deportment of the members of the league at the
dinner to Sir Henry Pottinger in Manchester : and we
were not disappointed. The same empty being was blown
and exploded there. Mr. Bazley again fired of his small
volley of absu-cl nothings, leaving the public, who
read the foolish ravings of so insignificant a per-
sonage, to wonder whether a leaguer and a chairman
of the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester can even
sleep without bobbling in his dreams the catchwords and
trumpery philosophy of free trade.

POISONING BY Pnlissic ACID —We are cognisant-Alf
an instance, where a dispensary physician prescribed
prussic acid for a patient, a certain number of drops to be
taker: during the day. The apothecary, to save himself
trout e, we presume, gave the patient, an Irishman a bot-
tle, ren aining a quantity of medicinal prussic acid, uri-
mixrd with any thing else. The man, calculating that
five drops could du him good, twenty or thirty would be
much more effectual, took the larger dose, and near)"
paid with his life for his rashness. In both these exam-
ples, had the medicine been dispensed for the petit nts in
the doses propt r to be taken, the consequences which we
have described, would have been avoided, and in this con-
sists one of the many advantages possessed by the gene-
ral practitioner over the pure, whether physician or sur-
geon, as he can exhibit tie medicine he orders in properly
divided doses, can watch and control its effects. and in-
crease or diminish the dose as he deems it aivisable,
"'hilts it is notoriously the practice with the pures, unless
when attending in conjuncri• n vial a geuural practitioner,
to order medicines to be taken by drops, and of which a
quantity is generally directed raucient to last for several
days or weeks.--Medical Tiescs.
