like their Charter ? "Why should not Chartism be respectable ? Is there any thing inherent in Chartism which prevents its being so ? Truth and justice are always respectable , and when they appear not to be so , the fault is in the expounders . We must reform our method * , or we shall never get beyond our present position . We must have less cant and more method , smaller mouths and larger hearts , we must combine the minimum of denunciation with the maximum ot earnestness . Then will Chartism rise once more , strong in its sense of right , and the now dormant power of the people , become " A lever , to uplift the earth And roll it in another course . ' H . R . N .

HOMOEOPATHY . Edinburgh , October 30 , 1851 . Sir , —Sympathizing as I do with the spirit of an article upon homoeopathy , which appeared in your paper of last Saturday , and admiring the ability witli which the views are stated , still I must beg of you to allow me to express my dissent from the conclusions there arrived at . As I apprehend , your opinion simply stated is this : The Professors of Medicine have as good a right to their belief as the students . If it be their faith that not to bleed or b lister in infl ammation is just t o let a man die , then they would not be fulfilling their
duty to the public if , on a student professing his intention so to act , they gave him a degree as properly qualified to practise his profession . This , T think , is the sum total of your argument , and it looks plausible . In reply , I would observe that the degree of Doctor of Medicine is not a mere professional picklockthat it is not granted by the medical professors , but by the university—that a university is an established institution , always the same in one aspect , always changing in another , alter et idem—that it enjoys prescriptive rights and hereditary honours quite independent of the accidental occupants of its chairs at any particular time—that hitherto those high honours , which it has conferred upon its alumini , have been awarded solely on the ground of attainment in science , never on account of special
beliefsand that it L only in this way that it is conceivable the ancient reputation of a university could be maintained . A professor ' s duty is to teach all he knows and to ascertain t hat his pupils have diligently made use of his teaching , and after they satisfy him on this point , he may exhort them as to the course of life to pursue and follow them with paternal solicitude into the trials of the most arduous and most dangerous of all professions ; but he never can , if he be a thoughtful and conscientious man , attempt for one moment to entail upon them his own opinions to be preserved throughout their whole career unchanged . This would be to exchange the growth and life of the prime and blissful art of medicine into a petrified creed without even an apostolical succession to recommend it .
Davy ' s greatest discovery it is said was Faraday . And why ? because he most faithfully preserved Davy's lessons ? or because ho left , his master furthest behind ? Is it not totally absurd to iu-istthat a few old men , who must ho ignorant of the most recent development of thought in all directions , shall have the power of binding up , like so many mummies , nil who go to be instructed by them , and labelling them like a railway package , with tickets , for their whole life journey ?
No , sir ; tell these ancient and honourable gentlemen that , if they really instruct their Kt . udontu according to the- host , ot their ability , they may he satisfied with having done their duty ; and the HtudcMits , in leaving the academic hulls , must , be left to the exercise of their own free endeavours after truth . That even if at . first they fall into error , freely falling , they may freely rise , perhaps , higher than from whenee they fell ; but once submit to the servility of accepting tho opinions of any set of men without inquiry , and the inevitable consequence to the iiiind i » to sink into degradation , from which there in no resurrection . I remain , your obedient , J . K . R .

November 19 , 1851 . Sir , —Not being eitherhomceopathist or allopathist , as the former party call it , but being merely an observer of both , who has fortunately never required a day ' s treatment by the one or by the other , I thought myself likely to be an unprejudiced arguer , and fit , as far as I pretended to know anything of the subject . I would willingly have extended my observations and answered any objections ; but I had long ago determined to avoid all discussion where my own merits or demerits were brought forward , instead of the subject on hand . This rule will be found the best , except on very important occasions . The allusions made to snobbery and other characteristics supposed to belong to me , have insured my silence , and the reply made to me on the loth of November must remain unanswered , as I cannot prove that I am not a snob , and it is of no consequence to your readers whether I am or not . Under other circumstances I could easily have shown that I used words not without good reason , and that I was by no means the inventor of any word , Greek , English , or Anglicised , in my letter . Your obedient servant , Hephajstos .

CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-lane , Friday , November 28 . —The value of all grain was well supported on Monday last , with the exception of secondary qualities of Malting Barley , which were Is . cheaper . Beans and Peas were Is . higher . The supplies since Monday have been small , particularly of Oats , on whicb an advance of 3 d . to 6 d . per quarter was obtained on Wednesday . At the principal country markets held during the week , Wheat has been firm , Barley flat , and Oats , Beans , and Peas tending upwards . Ihe prices of Oats , Barley , and Beans have all advanced in the French ports , which stops business for the present . Red Wheat is Is . dearer at Nantes , 1 a consequence of a demand from the Interior Very tew purchases have been made for English account . Unly four cargoes hRve arrived off the coast for sale afloat , ana there arc very few sales making of floating cargoes irom the Mediterranean and Black Seas . Polish Odessa Wheat has been sold at 33 s . Gd . to 34 s ., for Antwerp ; Eiryntiun Beans are held for 21 s ., C . I ' , and I . ^ 0 alteration in Indian Corn .

11 , RtiMHell-place , November 10 , lH . ) l . Sru , —The extent of Hephaistos' knowledge of homeopathy clearly expluiuH the extent of liit * liberality towards it . 1 . I [ oin < £ i > i » tthy < 1 <>< ! * Iiot ( HB lu ! ' » H" < "rt . H ) deny any eMablirthed law of phytucH whatever . It duett not nflir n that the same kind of matter inoreuncH in power aiw it decreases in bulk ; but , simply , that the purer the medicine in ( free from admixture with extraneous matter ) , the more potent as u medicine .
IlomrcopathiatH do not assert that iriiniitoinj »» gives power . They know that th « tf mother tincture" is stronger than the diluted . But they say that a medicine as Huch may bo too strong , and that it i » " often better to administer buch a iIoho uh will restore the equilibrium of health only , than on W » ch excites uniieeeHHiiry reliction . Allopaths even udmit thin , in principle . What the smallest doso in , is a quotation of tixperlunce , hi » vinjr nothing to do with the principle , ot" liomoBouathy—tho law—that tho medicines uro
specific in proportion to the analogy between the symptoms resulting from their use in health , and the symptoms of the disease . 2 . If we do take medicines in our food and drink — as pure and as perfectly divided and prepared in nature as by the homoeopathic chemist —( which is merely assumed ) " what then ? They lose their reactive effect in the accustomed doses , and , in health , bear no relationship to the susceptibility of special disease ; hence fail to fulfil the conditions of homoeopathic medicine . Moreover , the extra quantity would still account for a medicinal action . 3 . What are the dangerous medicines and doses used by the Homoeopathists ? We call for proof .
4 . " Diet" and imagination" do not explain away the cures of Homoeopathy . Cattle and children furnish as striking an illustration of its power as can be found among dieted adults . Finally , it is not based upon a theory , but upon practiceexperience . The facts remain , though , we have no universally received theory to explain them . We have a clear la \ T of prescription , however , and that is the main thing . The perfect theory will come in due time . Yours , &c . F . It . L .
