We have word Of caution for the imbibers
of whiskey. The Cincinnati Gazette, of the
goth ult., states that the chemical inspector of
alcoholic liquors for that city and Hamilton
county, inspected eighteen barrels of whiskey
and ten of neutral spirits, on Saturday, and
found but one of the lot pure, and that one 90
per cent. below proof. The others presented
adulterations of the most pernicious character
to the animal economy, such as sulphurc acid,
fuesel oil in great abundance, etc. 1t has been
suspected for some time past that the distillers
were using poisonous drugs in the manufacture
of whiskey, and the fact is now announced by
the State inspector. .s.. .~. ..

The Edinburgh correspondent of the N. York
Journal of Commerce, speaking of ex president
visit to Great Britain, says:
"As to Mr.. Fillmore, he declined the honor
of a doctor of laws from the university of Ok
ford, which lord Pamerston and the other
great men Of England were DESTROYS to have
on him, and this on the ground that
he had not received a university, or even a col
ege education. Some Of his ilIustrious pre-
1ecessors in the presidential chair were not so
modest, though far less instructed than he"
But the writer forgot that Mr. Fillmore is
lot only talented and accomplished lawyer,
'ut that there is no pretence about him. He
las no need for mere complimentary Oxford
lonors.
