RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS . , ' : ' . ( From the'Daily News . ) r . rl : Paris , Tuesday . —It appears that the denie-* >« ratic 'candidates have carried the hardly-contested ;} elec ' tioir ; M . Carnot had 124 , 000 votes ; M . Vidal , * 119 , 000 ; M . De Flotte , 17 , 000 . The minister , ^ Geaeral De Labitte , who was first of the conserva-Mjes , had bat 110 , 000 votes . The socialists will ' . probjibly consider themselves certain masters of any .- future assembly . Whilst tbe conservatives , ia their : anortificition , will exclaim against Universal Suffrage \ 33 2 uarchic , and the republic itself as the wild domi-: nation of the lower orders . 1 The votes of the soldiers of the army who are natives of Paris are as follows : —Carnot , 6 , 699 ; Vidal , 6 , 615 ; De Flotte , 6 , 553 ; Foy , 5 , 378 ; Lahitte , 5 , 363 ; Bonjean , 4 , 911 .
; ,.= The most serious circumstance is certainly tne votes of the soldiery , who , however steady to put , down a street emeute , nevertheless display unmi 3-" ; ' takeably that their sympathies are with the people . "' " And the popular ideas , whatever these are , must ne-. ' cessarily be those of the camp . Should some of the . provincial elections turn out of an equally demo-. liCratic colour with the Parisian ones , it is quite evikident that the President must change his policy , and : must not only turn his back on the reactionists , but ~ f must go further than the hybrid party of Dufaure Vand . Cavaignac . The French people must be adr dressed , the French people must be conciliated . It
- » trill not do for Louis Napaleon to closet himself i . with nonentities like his present ministers , and ¦ under pretei » ce of bring z ^ atou 3 for order , delegate the chief administrative authority to a Minister of ' Polic ? . In Paris M . Carlier is everything . He is the Fouche of the day , in everyone ' s mouth and in everyone ' s way . Instead of doing his office of peacekeeper quietly , stealthily , and cautiously , he is the most meddlingj obstreperous , and officious of functionaries . He has heaped mountains of odium upon Louis Napoleon , and has done more than all the socialist prints put together to place the names of ministers on the poll below the names of Vidal and DeFlotte .
To-day the Place de la Bastille was again filled with people . I have informed you of the continuation of-the pilgrimages to the G'jlumn of July . Such had btea the number of crownsand emblems brought to ; ether that they formed a vast . mass , artistically arraoged , of red and yellow flowers , around which the idle and curious assembled to admire and wonder . However , as the pilgrims had not confined themselves to the mere funeral crown , but had intermingled red Sags and other republican and democratic ornaments , the police seized the opportunity to interfere . About 100 soldiers , belonging to several regiments of infantry , proceeded thither , abont four o ' clock , to deposit crowns and emblems . These men remained silent , whilst the crowd around occasionally cried out Vive l ' armee ! Vive la Montague !'

ITALY . ' Prohibited Schooi .-books in Napi . es . —Th ? correspondent of the Daily News / at Naples , sta tes that the restrictions to edacation and books are becoming daily more severe in the Neapolitan dominions . -In some schools , Goldsmith ' s History of England' has been prohibited ; and there is amongst many an expectation that the study of history mil be forbidden as forming a part of the course of instruction . Th > use of the 'Adventures of Telemachus' hasten prohibited ; and the Counc . of Public Instruction are engaged in drawing up a list of books to be permitted in the schools Meanwhile t o make stffl more sure of the masters , they are first submitted to an examination of the police , and then are thoroug hly examined , in the Gale , chismo Grande . Many refusing or omitting to pass throug h this ordeal have been removed .
GERMANY . BADEN . —The Diet of the Grand Duchy o Baden was opened on the 6 th inst . by the Grand Duke , who addressed the Assembly in a speech in which he complained of the ravages of the last revolution , and informed them of the treaty he had entered into with Prussia and several other German States . A deplorable event has happened at Eckermorde , on board the German ship of war of the same name , formerly the Danish frigate Gefion . On the 3 >; d inst ., in consequence of a refusal to obey an order , an officer ordered the arrest of a sailor of the crew :
some of . the men resisted the arrest , and assaulted the under officer who attempted to carry it into effect ; he called for help , and the officer in command of the deck coming up , ordered the men to let the officer go and return to their duty , threatening to shoot instantly any man who disobeyed . One of the crew replied by striking him , and the officer , drawing a pistol , shot the sailor through the body ; he fell , and died a few minutes afterwards . :
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . VIENNA , March 5 th . —On the 4 th a mass was celebrated in honour of the anniversary of the constitution granted by the Emperor Francu Joseph . It was a cold and empty formality ,, in which the people took neither part nor interest . A more appropriate celebration of the day was . the suppression of another Vienna journal , the ' Scourge . ' From all tbe provinces we have news of the continued crusade against the press . In Servia Meyerhoffer ' s * Napredak' has been strangled before its birth ; at Prague the stores of several Leipzig booksellers have been opened , and all copies of the latest works of Eugene Sue , seized , as also a pamphlet entitled ' The Jesuits since 1620 . '
Of the 80 , 000 honved 3 who . have been regimented , the officers are distributed among the Polish , Austrian , &c , " regiments ; the men are placed under Austrian officers , and the government carries its caution so far a 3 to provide them in gene * ral with Austrian confessors . Of course the business of the confessional has to be carried on through the medium of interpreters . AH these precautions , however , are unavailing . These soldiers will speak
nothing but Magyar among themselves , and . their officers do not understand it . When muskets were distributed , the men on receiving them embraced them , uttering words which probably were anything but benedictions of Austria . They are annoyed and chicaned in every possible manner , but pique themselves on the most punctual subordination . The inhabitants of Upper Austria are struck with tbe orderly conduct of men who had been represented to them as mere brigands .
Among the Magyars numberless incidents of daily occurrence reveal , in a way not to be mistaken , the secret determination of the people to cling to their national manners , as to life . The other day , at Presburgb , there died a young girl ; the students go in a body to the general of the district and ask permission to don their national costume , and to follow the funeral procession with an orange amid sprigs of rosemary stuck on the points of their sabres . The general , -whose name is Gartsner , finds no objection to the observance , of this immemorial usage ; but the municipal authorities , more easily alarmed , flatly refuse their concurrence . The idea of naked sabres was quite appalling to these sober
burgomasters . The young people put on their attilas , not yet proscribed by any law , hire a band , and march in silence without sabres to the place of interment . But on their return tbe band struck up , the national airs of Sakocsz and Hunzadz pealed through the street . Eligens folUwed , windows were opened , and handkerchiefs waved from balconies , the town seemed in fu'l revolution . Eljen , that rebellious cry , shouted on the Haynau-Platz I ( The squ&M which has- received the honour of this . general's name was formerly , by a singular
coincidence , called the 'Place of Pity , ' ' Barmherzigep Platz . ' ) Eljen in the Jellacbicb street , and on the Radetzky promenade . What abominable profanation . This was just what some sf the well-disposed , the gut gesinnten , as they are called by the government , went and told the commandant of the place . But did they cry Eljen Kossuth ? ' No . Then the country may yet be saved . But he clapped into prison the head of the band , although the poor fellow had only obeyed but too well the orders he received to play as many Hungarian airs as pessible .
TURKEY . From Constantinople letters have been received up to the 20 th ult . During the week preceding that date M . Titoff had been admitted to three conferences with Reshid Pacha and AH Pacha . These related to the Danubian princi p alities . Titoff glided on to the abuse of protection , although this question had been eliminated from the note of his government . Hence the refugee question , which everybody thought quite dead and buried , has been resuscitated . The fact is , that Russia is not yet satisfied , and it maybe safely assumed that until she is satisfied no question can be considered as settled . . The new demand which she has in the background is apparently the expulsion of certain persons in the service of the Forte who have exercised a beneficial influence in
countermining RGSsian designs upon the Christian population . While Turkey is thus bullied because two or three men of firmness and intelligence attempt to hold her outposts against Russia , there is throughout the Turkish , empire a Russian propaganda , whose only task ia the destruction of Islam . If Turkey were to demand the expulsion of these , or rather to expel them , since they are in her own dominions , she would only be doing in her own interest a very small part of what the Czar now insists upon her doing in the teeth of her own interest . The ground upon which M . Titoff has laid his representations is the treaty of Kutschuk Kainardji , according to an article of which Russia has . the right of demanding the expulsion of Russian subjects who machinate against her .
By the latest accounts from Shumla , Kossuth has assured the commissioner of the Porte , Acbmet Effendi , that he should only comply with the measures of the Porte for sending the refugees to detention in the interior when force was applied ; to which Achmet Effendi replied that , however loath to apply coercion , he must strictly carry out the instructions of his government . A traveller from Broussasays that lodgings are already in course of preparation in that Asiatic city for many of the
exiles ; but it seems they are only expected to remain a few months . , The fact is that the Porte after a good deal of haggling with Count Sturmer has promised detention for a year . But the Count would take not a moment less than five years and so we are obliged to wait for Vienna . A letter ' from Odessa informs us that six prisoners , who were consigned to the . dungeons of St . Petersburg for taking part in the great recent conspiracy , have died siiddenly . This has created much sensation .
The last packet from Varna brought the noble wife of JCossuth . THE GREEK QUESTION . i We We advices from Athens to the 28 th of February inclusive . i From the files of Athens papers before us we leara that this question has assumed a new complexion , from an unaccountable delay in the transmission of despatches to Mr . Wyse . Onthe l ^ th of February the mail steamer brought ( a « we have alread y announced ) the intelligence to Athens , that the meditation of France had been accepted . The immediate raising of the blockade was expected , but , to the astonishment of M . Thouvenel , the French Envoy , and of tbe Greek nation , tbe blockade was more strictly enforced . t i

POISONS AS MEDICINE
Memorial of the Names of the 19 , 950 petitioners , to the . House of Commons , against the Deadly Poisons , used as Medicine by the Doctors . ' London : British College of Health , Hamilton-place , New-road . " IIow many thousands . of lives are there , ' , my father would say , ' that come ' every year , to be cast away ( in all civilised countries at least , ) and considered . ns nothing but common air , in competition of an hypothesis V 'In my plain sense of things , ' my uncle Toby would nnswer , ' every such instance is MUBDBH DOWNRIGHT , let who willcmmit it . ' ' There lies your mistake , ' my father would reply , 'for , in the Court of Science there is no such thing as Murder , 'tis only Death , brother , ?'—Tristram' Shandy . The lnsdieal hiH 6 lhesis , uuele Toby , in ' his plain sense of thing 3 , ' here anathematises , is that horrid and pestiferous hypothesis , that ' Medicine is poison , and poison is medicine . ' This mercenary ,-heartless , ruthful hypothesis , by which ' human life is cast away as nothing but common air , 'is as savage in spirit as It was barbarous in origin :
and it is , at this very day carried into deadliest practice , by the doctors , by advertising quacks , and by druggists , with Jill-the ardour and vehemence that can be excited by insatiable cupidity , and by a . niqst'Tavenous appetite for gum and guinea ' s . But the hellish hypothesis , that' Medi . cine and Poison are identical' must be maintained and supported against all ' . competition '—it must be . carried into , a ' wide-spread , fatal , practice , although . , it may sweep and desolate the earth as with the besom of destruction ! ' And why ? Because -upon its maintenancc , and support , and practical , application , depend the very existence of a highly respectable and pro . foundry ¦ scientific fraternity—an odious and abominable fraternity , whose consciences - arc . educated arid : formed upon the infernal maxims of . 'The Court of Science '—a court which is ruled solely by a favoured and fiitul hypothesis that brooks no ' competition , ' and no demur—a court in which' there is no such thing as murder— ' ( is o . nlt DEATH , brother !!! ' ' ;
John Hunter said of poisons , that 'they take their place in the body , as if their place were allotted for them . ' Yes , 'horrid' mercury takes its . allotted place in the glands , and in the bones—in the glands it excites scrophulous tumours , and the teeth it-quickly reduces to . caries . 1 ' rusic aeid takes its allotted place in . the heart , mid there radical ]} - cures all palpitation by effectually stopping all pulsation . Alcohol takes its allotted place in the brain , ' and-by its action upon that organ inducesmania , and all' the ills that flesh is heir to . ' Strychuine , and brucine take their allotted places in the muscles , in which tissues they frequently produce speedy and fatal spasms . The late Mistress Maria Manning toad something more than a faint and Klimmeriii " insight into this' Huriteriaii principle—yea , with high professional skill she carried it into full practical effect . She knew that ,, by a particular mode of administration , a hullet would find its allotted place in the brains of her fond admirer , 'Mr Patrick O'Connor ; but , in the eyes of the profession , the skilful doetress degraded the science , bvun .
professionally . blending , with her . practice ,, the functions of a grave-digger . By the way , it would act as a very wholesome check upon the . poisoning hypothesis , if the Lecislaturo could compel tlie doctor—despite hU professional scruples and repugnance—to excavate the graves of his vie tims .
