      BEMEJISCEXCES OF EMMETT'S ESSXJRRECTIOS . ( Abridged from the Irithman . ) On the 21 st of May , 1803 , 1 quitted my father ' s house , in street , London , and proceeded to jreland , where I intended to spend a few months at the Louse of an uncle , who resided at , conntv of Wicklow . I was educated in the -princip les of the Established Church ; but as my aiotlier , anative of Ireland , was a Eoman Catholic , I was by no means a bigoted Protestant ; and iaTin" from childhood listened to the traditionary tales of the greatness of my Irish ancestors , I lonoed to visit in person those scenes where my

      fancy had often revelled . Having spent a few days in Dublin , I repaired to Bray ; and as the weather ¦ tras unusually favour able , I determined to perform the remainder of my journey on foot , particularly as I could by that means visit the Dargle , through which my road lay . I had not proceeded far when I overtook a gentleman , who walked forward at an easy pace , apparently wrapt in meditation . His fisnre was rather tall , but well-proportioned , and le appeared to be not much above my own age ; his features were prominent , and bore the impression of melancholy ; bnt withal so gentle and so pensive that I instantly set him down in mind for a child . of

      iramamfv . Travellers are privileged persons . "We soon Decame acquainted ; and as the stranger appeared inlimate with my uncle ' s family , I hnd no hesitation in accompany in j him to an inn at Enniskerry , ¦ where he promised we shonld meet one of my cousins . He was not mistaken , for the first person we aw on entering the house was Malachy , the jonngest of my uncle ' s two sons ; and although -some years had elapsed since I had seen _ him in "London , yet I knew him at first sight , for his was a ice which , once V . enrld , could never bo iorgotten .

      I now , for the first time , learned that the name -of my companion was Emmet . He appeared to be on afooting of great intimacy with my cousin ; and loth seemed from their conversation , ardent admirers of liberty . I could readily perceive that they were dissatisfied with the easting state of thinss , and anticipated a change of measures . "The chain , " said Emmet , in a mild but firm tone , " which binds us is stretched to its utmost limit , and wants out another effort , either of the oppressor or the oppressed , to burst asunder , and

      give liberty to Ireland . " " Whether that be the case or not , " replied Ualacby , "it is to be hoped that our grievances arecotdestined to continue . " "They cannot possibly , " said Emmet , " endure , under any circumstances , much longer ; for nature revolts against tyranny and injustice ; and the means taken to perpetuate these have always ended in their complete discomfiture . In this sense we must look for an explanation of the apparent parados , that national misfortunes are ultimately productive of national benefits . "

      Daring this dialogue Emmet ' s fine manly countenance glowed with an enthusiastic ardonr , and he delivered himself with as much animated fervency 33 if he were addressing a numerous , but distracted assembly , which he wished to persuade . His words flowed with a graceful fluency , and he combined his arguments with all the ease of a man accustomed to abstract discussions . The entrance of a stranger suspended our conversation , and , after a few minutes" private conference between Emmet and my cousin , the former took his leave , and ilalachy and L set out for my uncle ' s residence . On our way I could not help admiring the delightful scenery on each side ; but my p leasure was considerabl y damped by my companion ' s melanchol y reflexions . He admitted that the country was beautiful and the soil productive , but asked me— " What were all these when the country was in . chains !"

      We -srere soon , however , -within sight of my ancle ' s house , which we quickly entered . Our conversation was interrupted by the announcement of a stranger , who proved to hate been a schoolfellow of Malachy ' s . He had been obliged to expatriate himself from Ireland during the preceding fire years , in consequence of bis connexion "Willi the business of ' 03 and had onl y then returned w his friends , wbo lived in the neighbourhood of Castle . I snail introduce him here nnder the cognomination which he bore among bis friendsthe Exile . He consented to stop to dinner ; and I iras not a little pleased by the arrival of another guest—my recent acquaintance , Emmet . When ihe cloth was removed , the conversation turned on * ae politics of the day , and the state of Ireland . Emmet , always the enthusiastic , insisted that there were no hopes of redress unless by an appeal to arms —tie last resource of the oppressed .

      . Thecounty oftRcklow possesses so many beant ^ s , so many cataracts , glens , hills , and dales , that # was impossible for one like me , , who had lived 0 Ill y on poetry and romance , to feel anything like " ?"« ' during mv sojourn at Castle . Indepenuent of external objects , however there were others f ? a social nature , perhaps of a more attractive *™ I : and , while I enjoyed the pleasure of daily ™ uuies through the most bewitching scenery ^ I spent my eveninss where there was the " feast of reason and tbe fiW ofsoul .

      mind diseased . In such cases young la&ie ^ are admirable p hysicians , at least in detesting the mal » a yl andTflatter ^ myself . that Eli&i-fiaplji . kaew ther . caase-jofiny si ghing , absence of miutf ,. and languishing looks ; . that express everything , iniougfr they 8 eem to mean nothing . She saiig for me some of the sweet wild melodies of her country ; played Italian music for me on the piano ; and gave me ber arm when we walked in ; ber father's garden ! You may be sure my visits were long and frequenS ; : and , indeed , had there been no such attraction $

      , should have availed myself of the Exile's conversation . He had seen and learned much ; was full of Anecdote ; and deeply read in the history of mankind . One Sunday evening he was amusing us with son . e particulars of his adventures in the county of Wexford in the year Ninety-eight . At the battle of New Boss he was wounded , " and must have been trampled to death , were it not for the humanity of a peasant , named Ilowlan , who carried him to a place of safety , and subsequently attended him till his recovery .

      On his mentioning the aame of Ilowlan , the old man seemed agreeably surprised ; asked his son if it were not the person called the Hero of Oulard ; and , being answered in the affirmative , told us that tbe brave fellow was residing in tbe nei g hbourhood ; upon which the Exile insisted on immediately seeing him , and requested me to accompany him . After walking about a mile , we came to a neat thatched cabin , situated in a very sequestered valley . A river ran before it , and a few aged trees shaded the simple roof . The door was open , and , on our entrance , a peasant rose to receive us . lie smiled as ho handed me a chair , and looked inquisitively at my companion . " Don ' t you recollect Mr . J ? " inquired the Exile . This interrogation was followed by a momentary pause , during which Ilowlan seemed lost in reflection ; after which he burst into an exclamation of surprise and pleasure .

      " Oh , blud-an-ounze , " he repeated several times , "is this yourself—your own four bones , whole and sound after all ? Well , well , I knew I should see you again ; though I was certain you were dead . " " So , 80 , Howlan , " said the Exile , " you haven t yet learned to be loyal ?" " Loyal ! " repeated the Hero of Oulard ; " no , in troth , for it is not in my grain ; and , faith , I believe if I was paid for it , these stripes on my back would not let me . " " I recollect , " returned the Exile , " a part of your story ; but the apprehensions I was under when I first heard it prevented me fre ' m attending to the whole . "Was not your father murdered ?"

      " Murdered ! " repeated Howlas ; " ay , murdered over and over . again . And wasn ' t I murdered myself ? But , " he continued , ' I'll just tell it all here to you both . " Then , drawing bis stool close to where we sat , he proceeded : " My father ( Lord be marciful to his sowl in glory !) kept a snug little farm on the right-hand side of the road that goes from Gorey to Ferns ; and , though I say it , there was not a more tasty man in the county of Wexford . I myself was the youngest of three sons and two daughters ; and the devil a more genteeler family attended mass of a Sunday than Paddy Howlan ' s . My two brothers were able , strapping fellows , and , faith , there were worse boys in the parish than myself .

      " The winter before the rebellion tbe Teos * were out every night ; and dreadful work they made of it —burning , whipping , and shooting . I shall never forget the loth of November ; no , sever while there is a drop of Irish blood in my sowl ; for when I think of it my brain boik , and my very fiesh creeps as if there was a blister all over me . Well , as I was saying on the loth of November , I was coming home from Enniscorthy market ; and , being after taking a glass of the creature with one friend or another , I was pretty merrv , and to make the road lisht I was singing to myself' The Tictim of

      Tyranny ;* f and the ould mare aself was so pleased though the night was as dark as p itch . " Just as I came to the top of the boughareen % that led down to our house , a fellow seized my beast by the baiter , and while you'd be looking round you , a score bayonets was ready to pop into poor Denis . ' Hallo ! ' said I , ' what ' s this ? ' ' You Popish rebel , ' cried out the officer ( for it was a party of the Xorth Cork ) , what song is that you were singing V '" Ocb , nothing at all , ' said I , ' only new words to an ould tune . '

      "Ah ! then , by /' said he , " you shall soon sing another tune , unless you tell us of all the people you know to be United Irishmen . " " " Faith , and that ' s what I can soon do , " says I , " for I know nobody . " The word wasn't well out of my mouth when he ran his sword into my arm , saying , " That ' s a tickler to help your memory . " " Thank your honour , " says I ; " but as you are not Yeos , I hope you will act deeent , and let a poor boy pass . My name is Ilowlan , and I never did any

      man an injury . " "Howlan . '" cried the officer , " vou are the very man we want . Have you not two brothers ? " "Ay , and a father , too , " I answered , quite calmly , though I was in a terrible pickle , with the blood streaming down my arm . " I was then bid to drive down to my father ' s house , avd iliey all kept quite elose to me . The familv were all in bed ; and I , foolish enough , called up my poor father , then seventy years of age , and my two brothers . They came out into the lawn in their shirts , for they were so frightened they forgot to put on their clothes ; and , if they hadn't , they

      could not , for want of time . " My father said he had no arms ; and when he protested , which was the truth , that he was no united man , tbe sergeant knocked him down with a pistol , and some of the soldiers began kicking him while he lay ou the ground . My brothers , of course ( for what Christian would turn informer ?) refused to confess anything ; and , accordingly , the eldest was taken and tied to a car , and a drummer boy proceeded to flaw him at a desperate rate , while one of the party , to give him light , set fire to tbe bam , As the flamea mounted up to the skies , I could see my poor brother ' s back , hackled into a raw griskin , while the poor fellow refused to gratify his murderers with a sing le groan . My mother

      rushed out , and , falling on her knees , beseeched the villains to forbear ; but one of the soldiers gave her a kick in tbe stomach , and stretched her on the pavement . " . Here I interrupted Howlan ' s narrative by declaring my disbelief , thinking it impossible for any officer top ' ermitsuch brutal conduct ; but the Esile assured me that torture ^ was then regularly resorted to for the purpose of extorting confessions ; and , to remove all scepticism , and to show the extent to which party hatred was then carried , related a disgusting anecdote of a young lady , tbe daughter of a magistrate , who , in the excess of her loyalty , actually stirred her wine with the fragment of a

      finger which had that day been separated by a blow of her father's sword from the hand of a rebel !§ Denis smiled at my incredulity , and proceeded . " Knowing how soldiei-3 then treated young gills I made signs to my sisters , who had come to the door , to shut it , and remain inside . They did so before the soldiers could prevent them ; and one of them , having seen what I had done , told the Others , and in a minute there were a dozen stabs in my body . My eldest brother was then released , and the ' other tied up in his place ; when my father , who had recovered , rushed forward and seized the drummer ' s arm . Poor man ! the savages had no pity en his tearsand he received several stabs . "

      , Here Denis was overpowered by his feelings ; and after hastily wiping away one or two natural drops from his cheek , continued : —

      * A contemptuous name for leomen . t A rebellious song in wliicn occurs the following stanza ; ' I had a tyrant landlord base , Who saw nij heart to Erin yearned ; Ev'n with the ground my Cot did rase , And fired my substance dearly earned . Unmoved , remorseless , now he sees My cottage falling , as i t hums ; My wife for mercy on her knees , From her with ruthless frown he turns . Alas ! fliis picture exhibits but too faithfully the scents that were then acted throughout the country , t A small road . S Englishmen would scarcely credit it that torture was at this time the common method resorted to hj the magistracy for the purpose of discovering arms , Ac . Yet such was the fact , attested by all the Protestants who have written histories or accounts of the Kehellion .

      On the morning of the 23 rd of May , says Mr . Gordon , a I ' roteitant clergyman , a labouring man , named Denis M'Dnniel , came to my house with looks of the utmost consternation and dismay , and confessed to me that he had taken the United Irishman ' s oath , and had paid for a pike with which he had not yet been furnished , nineteen pence halfpenny , to one Kilty , a smith , who had administered die oath to 1 dm and many other * . While I sent my eldest * on , who was a lieutenant of yeomanry , to arrest Kilty , 1 exhorted M'Daniel to surrender himself to a magistrate , and make his confession ; but this he positively refused , saying , that he should , in that case , be lashed to mnlec him produce a pike , which he had not , and to confess what he knew not . I then advised him , as the onljr alternative , to remain quietly atheme , promising that , if he should be arrested on the information of others , I would represent his case to the magistrates . He took my atlvice * 7 but the fear of arrest and lashing hail so taken possession of his thoughts , that he could neither eat nor sleep ; and on the morning of the 25 th he lell on his face , and expired in a little grove near my house .

      S Iu Hay ' s 'History of the Insurrection of the county of Wesford , ' it is stated that Hunter Gowan . a hrutal magistrate , paraded the streets of ( Jorey , at the head of his corps of yeomanry , with a human finger stuck on the point of his sword . 'After the labour and fatigue of the day , continues the historian , ' Mr . Gowan and his men retired to a public house to refresh themselves , and , like true blades of game , their punch was stirred about with the finger that hnd graced their ovation , in imitation of keen fox hunters , who whisk a bowl of puuch with the brush of a fox before their boozing commences . The captain and magistrate afterwards went to the house of Mr . Jones , where his daughters were , and , while taking a snack that was set before him , he bragged of having blooded his corps that day , and that they were as staunch blood-hounds as any in the world . The daughters begged of their father to show them the croppy-finger ; which he deliberately took from his pocket , and handed to them . Misses dandled it about with senseless exultation ; at which a ' young lady in the room was so shocked , thatshe turned about to a window , holding her hand to her fece , 10 avoid the homd sight Jlr . Uowan ^ perceiving this , took the finger from his daughters , and archly dropped it into the disgusted lady s bosom ,. She instantly fainted j and thus the scene ended ! 1 {'

I can ' t tel anything about that time , but my ould mother told ime tka * my face was as black as a pot , and my jtongue out a landle long . The first thing I recollect iafter being hanged was , to see the poor ould house inflame * ,, the soldiers having set fire to it to get my sisters- out ; but they , were : disappointed , as the-girls had matte their escape while fluey , were hanging EW , "To make along ' atoryshorfc ^ coritinucd Dennis , " my father ,. myself ,. aad two brothers- were- thrown

      into the- cart , and nwehed off to Ferns . Next day my father died ) in the gaardhouse , and after a week ' s confiement my brotliers and I were- turned oirfc with pitch eapa upon oui ? heads . f We had now no house nor home , for my father ' s life being tlie ( oimi of our lease the landlord had . seized on our IStfclW all ,, so- we went t&sarvice , as did my sisters , my mother having died a month after my father . My brothers were long before they recovered ; andi for myself , I'll leel the effects of that Woody . night to theday of inydeath . ' Denis having concluded , the Exile assured him that he had not forgotten his obligations to him , and should consider it his duty to make him eom > fortable for the remainder of his life . I expressed my gratitude also , and put a couple of guineas into the hands of a little boy who had run in before his mother .

      The effect produced on me by the horrible narrative I had heard completely disqualified roe for returning to Elmgrove ; and having begged the Exile to ppologise for my absence , I set off for Castle — , Denis proposing to show me the way , as he had business on that road . A particular instance of cruelty operates more powerfully on the human mind than the most laboured description of an extensive massacre . The tale of this untutored peasant , told in his own expressive language , produced a painful interest in my feelings , while it excited my indignation to that degree of frenzy which made me instantly determine upon the Quixotic resolution of finding out the officer under whose command the famil y of Howlan had been tortured , and call him to an account , or , at least , expose him to the world . Filled with this extravagant notion , I inquired of Denis , as we walked along , where the JJorth Cork were now stationed .

      " Lord bless your honour , " replied Denis , "there s not a man of them on the land o' the living , for I was at the killing of them all myself—and quick work we made of it—on Oulard Hill . " " Oh , I remember , " said I , " Mr . J— - spoke of \ our generalship there . How was that ?" " Why , " replied Denis , ' when I went to sarvice , my master lived in the very parish with Father Murphy , who , God bless him , coming one day through Ferns , saw the Yeos shooting poor Catholics like dogs , trying how many of them a musketball would go through at once ; so in the evening he called his congregation together in the chapel . It was as dark as bags , and not a candle , lighting to show us the wav to say our prayers . We were all

      as silent as death , and you could hear a pin drop on the floor while tbe priest was speaking . He tould us 'twas better die fighting for oar religion and country than be butchered like sheep . He said what was Gospel , and faith we took his advice , and marched in fine order after him , and ha in the middle of us , to Oulard Hill , where we encamped for the night . The Yeos fled like murder at the sijht of us , for they are the greatest cowards in the world , and sent the sogers to frighten us ; but faith their day was passed , and once we burnt the candle we'd burn tbe inch . When the red coats appeared , our faces were all manner of colours , and many proposed to run away . "Ro , ne , " says I , "the Driest and God is with ui , and what have we to

      foar ? Here i 8 a ditch and gravel hole , and lie in them till the sogers come quite close , and when I cry out , Erin go bragh , let every man start up , and use his pike . My advice was taken . The sogers came up , sure enough , with a fellow like a turkejcock strutting before ' em on his horse ; and , when they came quite near the ditch , he went behind them , and we could hear the words , " Ready , present , fire ! " Pop , pop , pop , went their muskets ; but faith I shouted out like a lion , Erin go lragh , and it would do your heart good to see -what sport we had . They weren't a breakfast for us ; and I had the pleasure , thank God , of sticking my pike into the rascally lieutenant who -murdered myself and my father . You can read all this in any book you open , for it is everywhere printed . "

      I could not hut commend Denis ' s generalship , and involuntary wished that I had been at Oulard with him . " Oh , as for that , " he replied , " there ' s as good fish in tbe sea as ever wa 3 caught ; and , bytbe-bye , vou may kill a hmhion ( Hessian ) for yourself . " '

      t ' It is said that the North Cork regiment were also the inventors—hut they certainly were the introducers , of pitch-cap torture into the county of Wexford . Any person having their hair cut short ( ana , therefore , called a Croppy , by which appellation the soldiery designated an United Irishman , ) on being pointed out by some loyal neighbour , was immediately seized and brought into a guard-house , where caps , either of coarse linen , or strong brown paper , besmeared with pitch , were always kept ready for service . The unfortunate victim had one of these , well heated , compressed on his head ; and , when judged of a proper degree of coolness , so that it could not easily be pulled off , the sufferer was turned out amidst the horrid acclamations of the merciless torturers ; and to the view of the vast numbers of people , who generally crowded about the guardhouse door , attracted by the afflicted cries of the tormented .

      DRURY-LASE . The Passing Cloud , which was produced on Monday nig ht last at Drury-lane , by no means deserves its title . It hns too much merit to be so ephemeral , and yet it is long—its chief fault . But it contains very many scenes of very powerful interest , right well acted by -the Vandenhoffs , Mr . and Miss , by Cooper , and especially by Anderson . — A Ilanse Town merchant had otice been settled at Leghorn , where his brother , also in business , was enticed into fraudulent acts , for which he was condemned to the galleys . The merchant left Leghorn in consequence , and is represented as first magistrate in one of the towns belonging to Hamburgh . He has brought with him and reared as his own , the daughter of his unfortunate brother . Whilst he is about to affiance this girl to a worthy lover ,

      the chief of a band of ruffians from Leghorn gets introduced as his guest , and showing proofs of the condemnation of one of the merchants , terrifies the young girl into accepting him as a husband in lieu of her betrothed . At the same time , however , the girl ' s father having escaped from the galleys , also appears on tbe scene , attracted by the desire to behold his daughter . This character is acted by Mr . Anderson , and the position leads , as we observed , to very striking scenes . Of course the villain is exposed " just at the very point of complete success ; and this very serious melodrama , of which the light parts are the least successful , terminates . The splendid spectacle of the Devil s Ring followed , and evidently delighted the audience , and the graceful dancing of Madame Louise elicited a hearty encore .

      The Wreck of the Royal Adelaide . —The extent of this dreadful catastrophe is at length revealed . No less than 206 souls were on board the ill-fated ship when she struck , of whom , as far as can be ascertained at present , not a solitary being has escaped . The official list of the passengers who erabarked at Cork has been received in town by Mr . Ilariley . the manager of the City of Dublin Steam Navigation Company , from their agent at Cork . From this it appears that 144 adults and 23 children left Cork in the ship bound for London . The crew , with the captain , consisted of 24 men and one boy ; and 14 passengers lnving embarked at Plymouth , it follows , aa before stated , that 206 human beings have met an untimely end by the disaster . —The robbery

      of the general letter bags , belonging to the Leadenbull-street walk , on Monday morning , deprived Mr . Hartley , the manager of the City of Dublin Steam Navigation Company , of all advices concerning the loss of the ill-fated steamer , the whole of the company ' s letters having been carried oft by the thieves . Fri'in Other sources we learn that no further bodies have been washed ashore , though many have been picked up by wreckers , who have flocked round the vicinity of the Tongue Sands since tbe night of the wreck , and having striped them of what property they had on , recommitted them to the deep . Naked bodies of men and women have been passed in the channel by the vessels that have arrived in the river

      during the last three or four days . Two or three vessels have t . een seized by the officers , having property concealed on board , evidently plundered from the wreck of the Royal Adelaide . At present the company have been unable to ascertain the number of families left destitute by this dreadful event—they are supposed to be exceedingly numerous . A subscription has been opened at several banking estab * bishments in the City , h > alleviate , in a lnoasure , the sufferings of the helpless and destitute creatures , and no doubt it will be immediately responded to . Mr . Hartley , the manager of the company , will also gladly receive contributions , at the offices in Leadenball-street .

      Attempted Assassination and Suicide . —On Monday great sensation was caused in the Cit 6 Wauxhall , by an attempted assassination and suicido . A young officer of the army had long entertained a violent passion for a young woman living in the Cit 6 , and had intimate relations with her . To meet her expenses it appears that he committed some faults , which compromised him so seriously as to cause him to form the resolution of committing suicide . He wanted the girl to die with him , but she refused . Accordingly he gave her a stupifying drink , and when she was senseless placed her on the bed . He then carefully closed the doors and windows to prevent the entrance of air , lighted a pan of charcoal , and laid himself down by the g irl ' s side . About three quarters of an hour afterwards tho neighbours heard subdued groans issue from

      the room . This excited their alarm , especially as the officer had been noticed to close the windowshutters at the usual hour for opening them , and as also no one had been seen to leave tho apartment . The commissary of police having been sent for ho caused the door to be forced open , and found the man and woman lying on the bed apparently dead . Medical assistance was immediately applied to both , and in a few minutes the officer gave signs of life , and a Jittle later was pronounced out of danger . At first the remedies applied , to the givl Mild no effdet , but more energetic measures having been resorted to she also recovered . She then declared that she had no intention of commuting suicide , and that an intoxicating-drink- must have been jjivon to her . The officer , on the contrary , insisted that , on returning from a party of p leasure , she had consented to die with him . The officer was taken

      into custody on a charge of attempted assassination . —Galignani ' s Messenger .

      Wreck of the Ocean Queen . —Advices from the Cape of Good Hope , received on Saturday last , furnish intelligence of the destruction by fire of the British ship Ocean Queen , Captain Tawell , commander , bound to Suez . The unfortunate ship , a fine vessel nearly 800 tons , in August last was chartered by the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Navigation Company , to supply their depot at Suez with coal , and on the 1 st of September left the port of Gravesend for the company ' s station . The coals spontaneously ignited , ' and on tbe 21 st of December , when the ship was in latitude 28 S ., longitude

      52 30 E ., the flames burst throug h the hatchways and deck , compelling the crew to make a precipitate retreat to their boat ? , and abandon the vessel . A "ale of wind sprang up the following night , the boats parted company , and from the circumstance of two of them not having been heard of since it is feared they were capsized during the storm . Ihe boat in which Captain Tawelland his party left the wreck was picked up the following day , by the French ship Gabriel . The survivors were sately landed at Table Bay on the 17 th of January last . The loss of the O cean Queen is estimated at about

A ? i « ! the bed-ridde » to resume life ' s active ? h . - [ £ i f cmatnrely infirm and faded to renew the ryonth and strength . Custom , and fashion , and pro . judiBe , inajr , fora season , still lead the throng to reject with disdain the proffered boon ,-nlfty 3 till decoy the many to embrace the deadliest means as wisely appointed means of health and or hte ; bo 6 the grant mass of ihu people eannofc long be inveigled by a grossly mercenary skerwe , however subtle nnd refined ; nor by sophistries , however learned and ingenious ; neither wilj they Jong be reconciled to the utter ruin of all that makes life ' s sweet by prescript tire error , however sanctioned by authority , or by fotal ignorance , however venerable from antiquity . The car of tha medicaUnggernaut may still , for a season , ride over and mangle to the death its fanatic victims ; but' a little more sleep , a little more slumber , a little more folding of tha arms to sleep , ' and the people will arouse themselves from

      their fatal delusion , and will . throvr off , with vindictive loathing and horror , their superstitious reference of their ruthless medical idols , and then the eyes of their minds will be opened , nn < l they will elearly perceive that the leg itimate office of the art of healing is to cure- and not to aggravate , disease ; that the real function of remedial means is to re . ' tor » health to the afflicted , and not simply to minister to tbei necessities of a barbaric profession ; that the worth of medicines is to be estimated by no other rule than the amount of human suffering which they relieve , and the perfect and permanent cures which they happily effect . The alcbymists of a former day were far more skilled and learned , and , impelled by a kindred avarice , delusion-, and folly , were inBnitetv more ardent and devout in the prosecution of their wild and maniac researches , than even the most profound and enthusiastic physician * and surgeons of our time—than the surgeon * who essay with more than alchymical stolidity , to discover the lfcws

      of health and life by elaborately mnngHni ? tho corrupt and loathsome carcases of the dead—than the physicians who seek to restore _ health by the poisonous means which impair and paralise every function of the body , and who seek to prolong life by poisoning and utterly destroying all the trguns through which lire moves and has its earthly being , The speculations and researches of the alehymist were , however , guiltless of murder ; whole hecatombs of human victims are daily sacrificed to the upas and sanguinary , to the craving and exacting and still insatiate and cruel god of the merciless and mercenary doctorB . Our forefathers had not more implicit faith in the tric ' iccries and juggleries of the tciences oi astrology , palmistry , and wiznrdism , than too many of their posterity—the wiser fools of our timeharo in the medical sciences of alleviating sufferings by torture , and of curing disease by deaiii . The medical art of the prosent day is , indeed , at once the most stupendous monument of scientific effrontery and blackguardism , and

      of servile , mental prostration and abandonment , The publie mind in our time is too much engrossed in amassing wealth , is too much abstracted . and lost in the lofty and exclusive researches of the applied sciences , and of the useful and ornamental urti ; the public mind is so entirely carried away and abandoned to the concerns of accumulating wealth , and of promoting the advancement and elevation of intelligence a » d c vilissition , as not to allow the dedic » tion of a moment ' s time to the infinitely more important and vital concerns of pcrsmul comfort and of bodily health . It is to this total abstraction of the mind from these concerns of the highest earthly import , that a false and exploded seienco owes its lingering , pestiferous existence , in these our days of general intellectual illumination ; il is owing to this entire mental abstraction that the medical grubs and worms are still suffered to ply their trade of feeding upon the very vitiils of the community ; and it is owing to this same intellectual engrossment , that

      whilst they are tolerated by the wise , and ridiculed by the witty , these loathsome vermin still drag out their anomalous and unnatural existence . But the death blow has been given to tho tradu in death , in the spirit of his oivn motto ' uno iotu . ' James iiorison , the Ilyjeist , has dealt that single , fatal stroke , under which the medical monster now languishes , and must ultimately perish . And even whilst upon earth , he foresaw in prophetic vision , that he had entailed upon mankind the emancipation of their health , and the full assurance of their personal comfort and enjoyment ; tind when laying the fimudutiun of the future physical blessedness of coming geoerations , his spirit was cheered , and his avdour was inflamed , by the reflection that on the fleshy tablets of the grateful hearts of all succeeding posterity , he bad raised io himself an endearing record of his own name and fame— ' monumentum osreperenniui !'
