dcal correspondent for the following conclusive
futation Of the claim of a British Surgeon, backed
10y the authority of Sir Ashley Cooper, to valuable
invention for extracting poison from the stomach.

lence at the Anatomical Theatre, was performed inl
this country about ten years since, and our cores
pondent has had similar instrument in his posses

Although in phanthropic point of view it is
Ia matter of small importance whether this or that
inventor was born on this that side of the water
so long as mankind at large enjoy the benefit OF the
invention, yet feelings OF national pride must and
will be nourished so long as love OF country finds
place in the human breast. Mine were not little
excited yesterday by the extract from an English
paper, in which an invention is claimed by Mr..
Jukes, which has long been known in this country,
and the important parts Of which originated with

refer TO the experiment OF pumping out the human
stomach, at ST. Thomas Hospital. DR.. Physic,
nearly, If not quite ten years since, hrst suggested
this operation, and DR.. Dorsey was the first who
thus washed out the human stomach, by attaching
caheter to the point Of syringe, in the of a
young man who took audanum for the purpose OF
committing suicide. MIR. Jukes is said to have
known this two years only. have myself, for more
than five years, kept an instrument OF the kind BY
me for the before mentioned purpose. Il cannot
but excite surprise tina, those who are so fond OF
abusing masse for deficiency OF ingenuity,
should endeavor TO rob our country OF the claim 10
those inventions which are eventually proved 70 de-
serve merit. Indeed there is some little reason to
Isuppose the French not altogether incorrect when

THE MAsQuER's SONG.

BY MRS. HEMANs.
The festal eye, DER earth and sky,
In her sunset robe looks bright
And the purple hills Of Sicily,
With their vineyards, laugh in light
From the marble cities OF her plains
Glad voices mingling swell
But with set more loud and lofty strains
They shall hail the yesper bell.
Oh! sweet the tones when the summer breeze
Their cadence waits afar,
70 float DER the blue Scilan seas,
As they CLEAN to the first pale star
The shepherd grccts them on his height,
The hermit in his cell
hut deeper power shall breathe to night,
In the sound Of the yesper bell.
