B\ Samuel Cartw right, M D. of Natchez, This is a very curious and interesting paper, and^is one of the most judicious and efficient attempts todf monstrate the evils of quackery that we have met with. We have long despaired of any means Ixung devised for opening the eyes of the public to the pestilence in question, but if any one can effect that object, certainly it is that which Dr. C. has adopted. His investigations have every mark of having been made with cure and conscisntiouoly. and his results Oj'pcni IIICIUlOMIVa It appears from Dr. Cartwright's researches, that during ten years from the 31st December, 1823. to the 1st January, 1834, the whole number of deaths,was 973, the jxopulation being at an average of 3.000 ; being an annual mortality of 1 in 30.6 percent. "Natchez, during these ten years mentioned, protected and encouraged science, and science protected and guarded her citizens. The citizens of Natcnez,during these ten years, were protected by strict laws against murderous quacks and empiricism of all kinds." * * * "Before the termination of 1833. the laws of Mississippi, which protected the science of Medicine and guarded the people against ignorant presumcrs and pretended reformers, were virtually annulled. By the first of January, 1834, a bust of empirics had made their way into our city, aucNcoinmenced in g?>od earnest, what they called a re for (nation in medicine. * * * * + Dr. C. next applies statistical medicine to that portion of time which has elapsed since the introduction of the pretented reformed medicine into Natch-- *? * % t'2. "The total number of deaths," he oh-j serves, "which occurred in ten years, i from 1823 to 1834, is 978. If, therefore a population of 3000, in ten years, lose 978, how many deaths would occur in a population of 6000 in four years and nine months? The total number should he 929. But the actual number of deaths recorded in the sexton's hooks, the last ! four years ar.d nine months, since the; pretended reformation in medicine com. menced, is 1315. The reformation, therefore, has reformed, in four years and nine j months, no less than 386 individuals out j of existence. But to put the matter in a plainer light?the average annual mortality of Natchez, since empirics have divided the practice w ith the regular phy-1 sicians, is no less than one death per i annum in every 21.7 cfthe inhabitants; hut to estimate the mortality on the actual population of 1837, when Natchez contained, 6000, it would be 1 in 22.2 ; but in the te?i years preceding this mixture of empiricism with the regular practice, only one in every 30.6.died per annum. During these ten years, the number who died under the care of physicians was about 1 in 47 per annum, and the numlier r?f nnrrnnrted deaths durinff the same %" ? - I - - - n period was 1 in 89 per annum. But during the last four years and nine months, including the late epidemic, and including all the cases from the Natchez hospital, the physicians lost 1 in 41 per annum, whe eas the unreported deaths of the same period were 1 in 45.7 per annum ; ' nearly double the unreported cases ot the former period, and exceeding the whole mortality occurring in the practice of the physicians curing ten years. But it may be supposed, that the increased mortality of the last four years and nine months, may he owing in part to the greater number of persons who have settled in Natchez, and who have had to undergo that peculiar change called acclimation. It may also be supposed, that the compar ativelv small mortality ot the ten preceding years might he owing to a greater proportioned number of citizens leaving town during the sickly months in the first period of ten years, than in the second period of four years and nine months. Plausible as these suppositions may be to account for the great difference of mortality during the two periods, a voice from the cemotry proclaims that such is not the true reason. It is well known that the fever of acclimation, or stranger's fever, as it is sometimes called, never occurs in the winter or spring. It is likewise known, that no persons fly from town in order to avoid sickness in January, February aod March. Rut what does the voice from the burial ground say ? It says, that the total number of dead bodies conveyed there during a period of ten years, from 1823 to 1834, in the months of January, February and March, was only 159; and that the number carried thither, the last five years in the same months, January, February and March, is no less than 239. Half the time and twice the population ought to give the same results, as twice the time and half the population. If, therefore, the introduction of empiricism, and patent medicines into Natchez had added nothing to the mortality of the place, the aggregate number of deaths which occurred during the first quarter of each of the last six years, should not have exceeded the aggregate number of deaths which occurred during the first quarter of each of the ten preceding years. But they do exceed them, as far a3 239 exceed 159. The difference between these two numbers gives the precise increase *f mortality, I | during the months of January, February i 1 and March, since half a dozen or more <' | deluded empirics made this city their i : place of residence and commenced, what 1 ! they called, a reformation in medicine. ' j The average annual mortality, taking 1 these months as the standard, during ten ! years, was only 1 in 47. But no sooner ! did illiterate mountebanks*make a lodg t imentin Natchez, than the mortality of j 1 January, February and March, increased [ : to 1 in 31.4 per annum. In the 4 month of April, during the ten years * between 1823 and 1834, the physicians I lost 39 patients, and during the same < time 11 deaths were unreported. The i whole mortality for ten Aprils in succes- i sion was only 50. But since quackery has been !< t loose upon the people of Natchez, S3 persons have died during the last five Aprils?being 35 more than the proportional number of deaths that occur- < red before the empirics proffered their i services to the good people of this cltv. I ' In other words, making April the ? standard, the average mortality would * k.i Anltr 1 in nor nnniim ft f the total ! * VII IJ A All UV ^/vi v. population, including.strangers, during a ; period of ten years. But sif.ee Natchez . has been overrun by empirics, the mortal- ; ity of the last five Aprils has increased to : l 1 in 29.i per annum. The mortality t which occurred in the practice of the f physicians in each month of April for ten [ years, between 1823 and 1834, has been at the rate of 1 in 64.2. The mortality \ which has occurred in the practice of physicians of the last five Aprils has been at * the rate <?f 1 in 65.7?nearly equal as t far as the physicians are concerned in f both periods. Yet in the first period of r ten years only 1 in 50 died, but as soon I as quackery was introduced, 1 in 29.4 h difd. It is worthy of particular remark, j that the number of deaths reported by the j physicians are concerned in both periods, not only in the month of April, but every r other month of the year, is relatively verv t nearly the same. Thus, 39 deaths were reported by physicians in the ten Aprils t of the first period, and 38 in the five Aprils of the second period. But while the un- (3 reported deaths of the first period were only 11, t. e unreported deaths of the second period amount to 47. . Again, during the first ten of the I ist fifteen _ . ... r Mays, Natchez lost in all 73 individuals; c 40 reported hy physicians and 33 unre- n ported cases. But curing the last five a Mays, she has lost 99 individuals, 33 c reported hy physicians and 66 unreported p cases, or cases reported by persons who t are not regular phys cians. During the r last period the unreported deaths, or those which have been reported hy persons not * belonging to the medical profession, douhie the nnmher of deaths reported bv ^ physicians ; whereas before the introduc- ^ tion of quackery, a large majority of all the deaths were reported by the physi- ^ cians. To sum up the matter, therefore, j in January, February, March, April and | t May, of the ten years preceding 1834, ^ *293 persons died in Natchez; while in n the same months for the last five years, a 421 have died. In half the time and c twice the population, the number should 'J have been the same. No less, therefore, a than 128 individuals have unnecessarily * perished or have been wantonly sacrificed, c since the first of January, 18S4, during 1 the five most healthy months in the year. 1 Taking these five healthy months, as ? being the months best calculated to test* the success of the empirical practice, as ' the months when empiricism is most popular, (diseases being the mildest, and the , principle of life the strongest,) 128 indi- n viduals have died, over and above the t number which did die in twice the time s and half the population, before the ernpi- r rical practice was introduced. If these e healthy months were made the standard of c comparison, Natchez would lose 331 in. " 1 _ L dmduals in nve years over ana nmive the number she lost in ten years and half the population, under the regular ex- * ercise of the medic >1 profession, unmixed c with qvackery. c ***** c When the empirics came to Natchez j the annual average mortality including r strangers, still-born children, and the y deaths occurring among the negroes brought here for sale, was only 1 in 30.6 . ?and had been at this rate for the ten ^ preceding years, while the mortality , among the citizens proper did not exceed t j 1 in 61 ; Imt the very month in which the t empirics commenced, in good earnest, to < reform a science they had never studied, the mortality suddenly increased to one death in every 21 inhabitants per annum, notw ithstanding that Natchez had, in the mean time, ceased to be a market for the < sale of negroes, which formerly added 1 very considerably to the hills of mortal i- 1 I ty, not only from the deaths which occur- ' i red among them, but likewise from the ? 1-_ ?i i ; contagious diseases, as measies unu ^ i whooping cough, which they almost an! nualJy introduced into the city. DOING A HUGE BUSINESS. f A voung Englishman, who went out , the other day to see the annual exhibition at the Louvre, suddenly exclaimed in the midst of the crowd, " I am robbed !" and ^ then rushed towards a beautiful young woman who stood within a coupleof yards ( of him. seized her by the arm, exclaim- t ing, "Behold the robber/" "You are 1 wrong, Monsieur," replied the young lady; " here is a watch which some one has just dropped at my foot. It does not belong to me, and I picked it up for no other purpose hut to inquire its owner and ( restore it." The lady was most fashion- ? ably attired, and this circumstance at first jk wtmmmtKrnBmmmmmKSinKsmmnmmnmmmmmm diarmed suspicion. The gentleman eximined the watch and declared it was not lis. But he persisted, nevertheless, in naintaining that the young person whom le held fast by the exquisite sleeve had obbed him. She was eventually arrest, id, and within the folds of the sleeve ,vere found, not only the Englishman's Hissing watch, but three others and as iiany well stocked purses besides. In jer desire, when first accused, to extricate lerself from her embarrassing position, die had sought to restore the watch which die had abstracted, but presented another >y mistake. The brilliant thief turned nit to be a Jewess, of remarkable beauty, vho had often before been acquainted vith justice through similar peccadilloes. Paris paper. '* I didn't want a caVt load." A storv is related of Captain S , vho for many years run a steamboat ipon Lake Champlain, and whose gallanry to the ladies is so proverbial, that luring one of his trips he was most asiduouslv attentive to a lady passenger, bowing and describing to her every hiug of int rest on their route. When lie dinner hour came, he waited upon the adics to the table, honouring the interestng stranger with a seat at its head. Aft-r carving, in the most approved style, he dish of animal food which stood he'ore him, he assisted her to a plate, lountcously loaded with the nicest cuts. "Lame!" cried the lady, w I didn't vant a cart load!" In astonishment the worthy captain vatched with anxiety the operations of he fair lady. He soon perceived, how:ver, that the curt load, with the necessay garnishments, had disappeared, and the date returned for a second supply. This upply followed the first, when no longer ible to contain himself, with the dainty ady's exclamation in relation to a cart oad, he said : ' Madam, if you will back your cart up gain, it will give me the greatest pleasure o help you to another load." "Mol thank you," she replied, "but I'll ake a little pudding !" He gave it up and walked out upon the leek. NOBLE SENTIMENTS. We recommend the following eloquent emarks, delivered in the British House if Beers, by that truly great man, Lord Uansfield, at a period of great excitement ind embarrassment, to the consideration if many conspicuous actors on our own lolitical arena. To some of our readers hey are doubtless familiar?toothers they nay he new.?Raleigh Register, "If the noble Lord means by populariy the applause bestowed by after ages on ;ood and virtuous actions, I have long leen struggling in that race; to what pur >ose, all-trying time can alone determine; nit if he means that mushroom popular!y which is raised without merit, and lost kithout crime, he is much mistaken. I !efy the noble Lordto point out a single acion in my life\vhere the popularity of the imes ever had the smallest influence on iv determinations. I thank God 1 have more permanent and steady rule for my onduct?the dictates of my own breast. Those who have foregone that pleasing dviser, and given up their minds to the lavery of every popular impulse, I sinerely pity; I pity them still more, if vaniy leads them to mistake the shouts of a nob for the trumpet of fame. Experinee might inform them that many who lave been saluted with the huzzas of a :rowd one day have received their exeirations the next; and many who, by the opularity of their times, have been held ip as spotless patriots, have, nevertheless, ippoared on the historian's page, when ruth has triumphed over delusion, the asassins of liberty.

DANGER OF DECEPTION*. Samuel McMilian, of Lancaster, Pa., a young man about fifteen years old, was frowned on the 21st ult., while bathing, ft is said that be was in the habit of pre. tending to be on the point of drowning, while swimming, and afterwards laughing it those who came to his assistance.? Several persons were on the bank, and witnessed his death struggles, but sup. )oscd they were feigned, and used no ef. ort to rescue him. The trite saying that a liar will not be believed though he ipeak the truth," seems to have been fully verified in this instance.
