THE GCOI) TASTE OF THE LEAGUERS DIS-
PLAYED AT THE RECENT ENTERTAIN.
MENTS TO SIR HENRY POTTINGER.

When Sir Henry Pottinger, the distinguished envoy to
China, was entertained with a public banquet in the City
of London, statesmen and merchants of every shade of
political opinion by one consent laid down, whilst uniting
to do him honour, not only the bitterness and jealousies
of party, but even the reference t,) party dogmas. It was
a universal benefit which had been consummated by Sir
Henry, and universally, and with unanimity, it was ac-
knowledged. The treaty with China bad not been dicta-
ted without any reference to party politics, and it Was
rightly judged that its authar could be compl mented
without the necessity of any a lusion to politic,.
The league, however, in this part of the world, thought
otherwise ; and accordingly one of its members thought
the dinner, given to this distinguished man by the
merchants of Liverpool, arid 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 scccaeded in perfecting an insult upon
good taste and the feelings of the influential naj mity
of the assembly in which 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 discourFe 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 off his small
volley of absu. d nothings, leaving the public, who
read the foolish ravings of so insigqificant a per-
sonage, to wonder whether a leaguer and a chairman
of the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester can even
sleep without babbling in his dreams the catchwords and
trumpery philosophy of free trade.

POISONING BY PRussitc ACID —We are cognisant of
an instance, where a dispensary physician prescribed
pruss:o acid for a patient, a certain number of drops to be
taken during the day. The apothecary, to save himself
trout, e. we presume, gave the patient, an Irishman a bot-
tle, cou'r,ining a quantty of medicinal prussic acid, un-
mixed with any thing else. The man, calculating that tf
five drops would do him good, twenty or thirty would be
much more effectual, took the larger dose, and nearly
paid with his life for his rashness. In both these exam-
pies, had the medicine been dispensed fur the patients in
the doses proper 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 geue-
'at practitioner over the pure, whether physician or sur-
geon, as he can exhibit Vie medicine he milers in properly
divided doses, can watch and control its effects, and in-
crease or diminish the dose as he deems it advisable,
w hie it is notoriously the practice with the pores, unless
when attending in conjunct ion t ith a vial. at practitioner,
to order medicines to be taken by d;ops, and of which a
quantity is generally dirce,e.l rt fficient to last for several
days or weeks.—MedicA rims.
