he had not, at the favourable seasons that occurred, bo. a
impelled to t and change his et.nrse. It may be
easy for a man, in easy circumstances, to consider " tbt
calamities the people suffer as not too dear a price for
the salt:air AND EIETATIOK to Ititiells"—what he
calls—" fhr cauul t has thereby attaiuu•d." It is a corn-
itit.n prejudice with thane who ..re acquiring affluence
to reckon things to be going on extremely well ; and
it is becoming in those to express their content and
gratitude who have abundant reasons to be satis-
fied and thankful. But is hue the favoured few may
well r •joke at their good fortune, shall it he accounted
sliseection in the multitude to repine at the rrirations
under which they ussessly suffer, and by which others
are without equity or due proportion made to prosper :
It is well for a club of placeusen and contractors to
toast " the principles of 31r. PITT," and pray that they
" asar always animate the councils of tireat Britain."
To the peul•le 4.1 treat It.iteits that toast will he the
pledge sit a cup of cup but of wolinwood
sad gall.

bleu:cat. RE roftm.—An anonymous but very inte-
resting pamphlet has lately been 1 üblisbr d, in the form
of Letters addressed to the fresident tit the Astociated
Alw•lmearies, and Surgeon Apothecaries, of England
and %I ales. It is principally intt tided to give a coin-
wail% e view of particular systems of mettical educa-
tion; to consider the separation of medicine front sur•
Eery ; to estimate tbe claims of the general practitioner,
atni to propose a more res; ectuble mode of remunerat-
ing his attendance. We most cordially agree with the
sentituriits of the very intelligent author of these Le.-
ters. We hate lung thought it must ardently to be de-
sired, that the general practitioner should not he re-
duced to the degrading necessity of deriving remunera-
tion, fur the exert ise pf bis professional skill, from the
sale of drugs. " The services of the plijsician and
general practitioner are essentially the same, and
whatever difference it may be thought advisable to
make in the amoral of recompense, the mode of remu
neration should, most untiu:stionably, be founded on a
common principle." We strongly recommend these
Letters to the attention of the medical profession and
to the politic in general ; to both they will be found
highly iuteresting, and should the objects of the au-
thor eta obtain, the latter will derive an equal
degree of benefit from his exertions with the former.
