 Among ,he interesting subjects presen- ted to Congress by the President, in his opening message, is that of the trade of the United States with the British Colo llies. In conformity to the principles of our institutions, the people for whose benefits they were established and administered, are, at the proper time, informed of all that has passed between the two governments on that question; question in which sey- erai portions of our country naturally feel particular interest. The correspondence will be eagerly perused. and we hazard but little in asserting that every American and impartial reader will be convinced that the Executive conduct of this branch of our affairs has beon characterized by modera- ton, prudence, and justice. The letter of MT. Clay, dated l1th November, which appeared in our Journal of the 18th inst. though in the form of an instruction to MT. Gallatin, is, in fact, an answer to the let ter of the 11th September, from Mir. Can ming to MT. Gallatin, and may be regarded as an official exposition of the principles by which our government has been guided and of the grounds on which it expects the pubic appreciation.
 ltappears from the whc., correspond ence. that a negotiation was opened by MT Rush and Messrs. Huskisson and Stratford Canning. on this and other matters in 1924: and that the parties were very near agree ing on the terms by which the trade should Ie regulated. One point only prevented the conclusion of such an agreement: and this was. that the United States insisted their produce should be received in the British Colonial ports on the same terms as similar produce might be received in those ports, coming from any other country.

Sometimes it occasions asthma, or dropsy in

except when the disease is of peculiar severity,
are requisite. When the inflammation extends
to the substance of the lungs, it may be known
BY hard, harsh, grating sort of cough, the
noise OF which seems limited to a circumscrib-
ed space in the chest,-the eXpectoration is
scanty, and for some time, a tenacious yellow
ish mucus-the pulse is generally tagging,
the respiration heavier or more opposed than
natural, and though there is cough, pain is Of

reduce the pulse tots natural standard, and

seemed to check the progress of disease in the

POISONING BY LAUDANUyM.

A poor child, about years Of age,
was brought TO the Mddlesex Hospital,
London, On Tuesday evening. under the
following circumstances. The child
had been ailing for some days, and be-
ing very restless, the mother purchased
some laud,num, of which she gave the
child four teaspoons full. This quanti-
ty, as might naturally be supposed, pro-
duced the most alarming symptoms, and
a medica man was called TO the child.
who prescribed one grain and half of
tartar euetic, which produced no ef-
feet. The symptoms continuing, the
child was brought to the Hospital.
AT this time there was complete i'm
mobility and insensibility, with cold ex-
tremiles, cadaverous countenance, and
the lips and face of livid hue. The
respiration was scarcely perceptible, and
the pulse was exceedingly feeble.
Eight grains of sulphate of zinc dissoIv-
ed in water were Immediately given,
which failed TO produce any effect. 1t
was conceived that the cougestiye state
might be relieved by putting the child in
a warm bath this measure was adopt
ed. Small doses of ipecacuanha wine
with antimonial wine were administer
ed, which produced three copious evac-
nations after which the child appear
ed 10 be somewhat relieved from its
previous state of profound lethargy, and
eVinced symptoms of returning sensibili-
ty. The warm bath had most decid-
eddy beneficial effect, by inducing flow
of blood TO the surface, and thus reliev-
ing the vital orsans.* The child was
kept reused for some time, the power of
sensibility and motion were very feeble,
but after few hours it was allowed to
sleep. On the following morning, DR..
Southey and DR.. Hawkins saw the little
patient, the prognosis of these two SGges
was that the child would not recover,
but it was sufficiently we'll TO leave the
Hospital on the following day. Ibid.
DR.. Currie recommends the effusion of
warm water at 106 or 1903 degrees.

From a Rerie1c of yNikon's Treatise, IN
the last No. of the Edinburgh Reuie,v.
The days Immediately following the
publication of the relic of Milton appear
10 be peculiarly sci apart, and coDsecrat-
ed 10 his memory. Aud we shall
scarcely be censured, If, on this his fes-
tival, we be found lingering near his
shrine, how worthless soever may be
the offering which we bring TO it.
While this book lies on our table, we
seem to be contemporaries Of the great
poet. We are transported hundred
and fifty years back. We can almost
fancy that we are visiting him in his
small lodging; that we see him sitting
at the old organ, beneath the faded
green hanginge that we can catch the
quick twinkle OF his eyes, rolling in
vain to find the day; that we are read
Ing in the lines Of bis noble countenance
the proud and muurnful history of his
glory and his affection We imagine to
ourselves the breathless silence in
which we should listen to his slightest
word; the passionate veneration with
which we should kneel 10 kiss his hand
and weep upon il; the earnestness with
which we should endeavour TO console
him, il indeed such spirit could need
consolation, for the neglect of an age I'M
worthy of his talents and his virtues !;
the eagerness with which we should
contest with his daughters, or with his
Quaker friend Elwood, the privilege of
reading Homer 10 him, or of taking
down the immortal accents which flow
ed from his lips.
There are few characters which
have stood the closest scrutiny and the
severest tests which have heen tried
in the furnace and have proved pure !;
which have been weighed in the balance

ON DEATH.

Some have styled this certaio, but al
most times unwelcome visitor, the King
of TeIFors, when he might, with less
improperly, have been termed the ter
.or of Kings. The Poet has lent his
fic,ions, the Painter his colours, The Or
ator his troPes to portray Death as the
grand destroyer, the enemy, The prince
of phantoms and of shades. But, can
he be called the destroyer, who, for a
perishable state, gives us that which is
eternal ? Can he be styled the enemy,
who is the best friend only of the best,
who never deserts them at their utmost
need, and whose friendship proves the
most valuable to those who live the
longest? Can be be termed the prince
of phantoTs and Of shades, who destroys
that which is transient and temporary,
10 establish that which alone is real and
fixed And what are the mourniul es-
cutcheons, the sable trophies, and the
melancholy insignia, with which we sur
round E,im-the sepulchral gloom, the
Wondering carcase, and The Shiny
worm? These, indeed, are the idle
fears and empty teTrors, not of the dead
bnt of the living. The dark domain OF
death we dread indeed 10 enter, blu,
we onght rather TO dread the rugged
ness Of some of the roads that lead TO it.
fBnt it they are rugged they are short
and il is only those that are smooth that
are wearsome and long. But perhaps
he summons US too soon from the feast
of life. Be it so if the exchange be
not for the better, it is not his fault, but
our own; or he summons US TOO late
the call is rather reprieve than SEN
tence; for who would wish TO set at the
board when he can no longer partake
Of the banquet, or to live on 10 pain,
when he has long been dead TO pleas
ure ? Tyrants can sentence their vic
Tins TO death, but how much more
dreadful would be their power could
they sentence them to life? Life is the
gaoler of the soul in this filthy prison,
and its only deliverer is Death. What
we call life is journey to death, and
what we call death is passport TO life.
True wisdom thanks death for what he
takes, and still more for what he brings.
Let US, therefore, like sentinels, be
ready. because we are uncertain, and
cain, because we are prepared. There
is nothing formidable about death, but
the consequences of it and these we
ourselves can regulate and control. The
shortest life is long enough if it lead TO
better, and the longest is too short If
it do not

have spent an estate and whole years in
arduous study.-A quack, not long since,
