D. THE TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION—FALLACY OF THE ALLOPATHIC, HOMEOPATHIC AND HYDROPATHIC SYSTEMS. A good audience assembled last evening im the Stuyve- sant Institute, to bear Dr. Robert Hunter deliver a free jecture on the modern treatment of consumption. The fol is a resumé of the doctor’s remarks. Medicine iv avold as the world. In earliest periods medicine and religion proceeded together as faithful companioas—the functions of the vhysiien were administered by the priests and patriarchs. The balm of healing came from their hands, as the balm for the troubled it came from their hands. Chief among the ills to which our bodiesare ed, fog ulmozary consumption. For conturies this disease the great scourge of our race; and yet, to the present, how little has been done by the profession to diminish its fatal ravages! Notwithstanding almost every case bas died, and still cotinues to die, under the hands of physicians, the same method of medication is pursued, and the same theory of the constitutional origin of the disease maintained in our day which were contend. ed for centuries ago. You have so long been accustomed to regard the symptoms of consumption as the hand of death, and have so constantly witnessed the failure of every method of practice that has been prescribed by the hysicians, that you have become deeply rooted in the faith that the disease is incurable. There are some coun- tries and climates where consumption is comparatively a rare disease, but in this climate and country, and indeed in all temperate latitudes, few can say its fatal shadow has not fallen upon their ‘own threshholds, Is consump- tion curable’ Tho duty of ey | this question de- volves vpon me, and in the present lecture | propose to expose the errors of the common systems of treatment— allopathic, b athiv and hydropathic—and upon their ruins ercet 2 system of medication which will be more yout respect and confidence, Most persons jopathy to be a definite plan of 1 employed by all; but the truth sects inside of the profession » 200 years ago Dr. Morton, a dis- i ed this erroneous ult of inflammation Suppo: treatment, adopted & onsnmption * being ructure, bleed the proper remedy.” ¥ to blood from the arm and to apply leeches over is theory was sttortly exploded, bat not so . whith has continued almost to'the preseat ption is essoutially a disease of debility. fUfe are ulwaya Weak before it is set ui une still more feeble as itadvances.

God grant that this glory may be yours. ve said. ‘The speech was received with the most rapturous ap- ause, in the midst of which the President retired. Senor juarez, the Chief Justice, and others, likewise took the ‘oath of office the same day; and the old government, with ‘a new lease of life till May bext, according to the terms of the dictatorship, would seem ‘to be well started again, though it is not yet apparent where the money is to come from. ‘The particular ewent alluded to in the President's ad- dress as u subject of congratulation, and which seems for ‘the moment to have quelled the revolutiovary spirit, is the defeat and utter route of the reyolutionists at Puebla, where, at our Jast previous advices, they promised to give the government serious trouble. ‘The Extraordinary of the 2éth ult. says:— DEFEAT OF THE PUEBLA REBELS. ‘The reactionists have again met with a most compicte @iscom(ture, that should tell home with power upon the minds of the breeders of disorder in the land. The cloud that hung over the position of the government at Puebla when our last iseue went to press, has been driven away Vike mist before a hurricane. General Echesgaray. after driving the reactionists from Puebla, lost no time in fol- Jowing them x», and from the particulars before us swept down upon them with Assyrian impetuosity, and bas droken up their entire force, routed them with great loss, and taken about one hundred prisoners. ‘The reports of Use engagement give the loss of the re- actionists at eighty-tive killed and one hundred prisoners, with the capture of all their principal munitions and arms. ‘The defeat bas been complete and overwhelming; aud thus we see it, that no matter how much the government isthreatened, its arms, by some grand cause, drive everything before them, and the clouds ef to-day pass away to-morrow. ‘Tho oficial report of the engagement puts down the pumber of prisoners at 225, the wounded at 40, in addition to the §5 killed. Three fleld pieces and 130 muskets were captured. The revolutioniets retired in great coufusion. Their number is estimated at about 3,000 men, some 700 on horseback, “a mounted rabble.” The government troops numbered about 2,000 men. among them 100 well organized cavalry, whose charge threw the revolutionists at once into great confusion. The engagement took place near the ancient town of Cholula.

Another class of physicians, equally learned aud orthodox, prescibing on the erroneous idea that coa- sumption is mainly caused by disorder of the sio- mach, place all their hopes on emetics. But to what emetic, or in what quantities or how frequently to be used they all difler, Dr. Reed advises the patient to ‘take an emetic every morning and evening for months.” Dr. Simmons orders them only “twice a week.’ This absurd and cruel practice is con- stantly prescribed in this city by medical men in good standing, ‘The idea.” gaid one of my patients to me the other day, “of curing consumption by turning the sto- mach inside out, and straining the blood wil i: rushes to the head and face, is something | cannot understand.” It is not too much to characterize this practice as calculated to exhaust the strength in efforts which have no possible curative influence over the disease, while they invariably destroy the tone of the stomach. Mercury is another and one of the oldert remedies relied upon for the cure of consumption. It was strongly recommended at a period when it was akind of specitic for all diseases. It had happily almost fallen into disuse, wnen unfortunately Dr Wilson Philip's book “‘on the influenze of small doses of mercury” appeared, and at once revived the practice. It is now used ,by some medical men, not because they have any faith in it, but because they must do some- thing. It used to be given “blue pills,” as ‘calo- mel’ and the “corrosive chloride of mercury;” now itis generally disguised by being combined with some sedative as opium or hemlock. The intimate relationship existing between scrofwla and consumption should bave long since taught the profession the folly and danger of employing thiz agent. Ifthere is oue medicine more in. jurious than another in scrofulous coustitutions, tuat medi- cine is mercury. Persons perfectly healthy are rendered scrofulous and consumptive by exposure to its influeuce. Next we have the sedative and diuretic practice, in which digitalis has held the chief place of confidence, but it is now absndoned. Next followed the humbug of “pure cod liver oil,” and that too ia exploded. There was more Of thig nauscous substance used in one year in this city live years ago, than there is now in a year m the whole United States listers and all irritants upon the skin were reviewed by the Doctor and condemned. Achange of climate he maintained had no beneficial effect upon consumption—it never cured a sing it generally does injury, and is only prescribed by physicians to get the patients oif their hands to die. On this point the Doctor dwelt with great force and ut great length. The writings of many ei tho most distinguished me J nen who have ever lived were quoted to show that travelling or a change of climate is generally injurious tothe consumptive patient. Dr. Hunter next showed, by quotations from the great- | est doctors of Europe, that they considered cousumption incurable. Among those named were Dr. Stokes, of Meath Rreritah Pabioes. His. Bi8inh haven CR gad ML Louis, tha Writers is palliative treatment. No medical man now prescribes with any hope of curing his patient; it is mere- ly to give momentary relief. Thus neither in experience or theory does allopathy claim to cure consuaption. Will homeopathy do it? “I'think not, Their writers are eminently )on-committal on the subject. But in practice J believe they make no claim to be able to cure this dis. ease by homeopathic prescriptions. Many of the more candid frankly caufess it is beyond their control. Drs.

The trial of Messrs. Mayo and Simpson, together with Mr. Laroche and a certain Hibbert, on a charge of intro- ducing false paper money, took place on the 19th instant. My expectations (see my last letter) have been fully realized, as all of them have been acquitted and libe- rated, excepting Hibbert, who was sent back to prison, to await the pleasure of his Majesty, Captain Mayo and Mr. Simpson haye been in prison seventy-six days, and now, the imbecile government has been forced to acknowledge that there wag not even a shadow of suspicion resting on them or Mr. Laroche. The first two, being Americans, have made their protest be- fore the American Consul; and there the matters resis until Uncle Sam makes his mind up as tw what he shall do, Since the time of Christophe, when they commenced their outrages upon American citizens by contlscalng & vessel, cargo and all, a continued course of aggression has been kept u) en diferent governments of Hayti and their stupi Is. ‘The patience of our government ought to be tired out by this time, and a signal satisfaction enforced. 1s perfectly useless to send out another Mr. Green, with a long list of claims against Hayti, and simply ask if’ they are ready to settle, ese negroes will not come to their seases, if they have any, until the cannon balls are ilying about their ears. The case of Capt. Mayo presents several fea- tures Which make it particularly outrageous. The T'ro- cureur (government attorney) at the Cape took it on his own responsi ility to arrest the Captain, throw hia in a dungeon, where he was kept ou bread and water, and without éven seeing daylight, for four days, not allowing him any communication whatever; at the same time the vessel was searched in the most minute manner, and the crew kept prisoners on board. Every local govern nent has an undoubted right to investigate Charges of so serions a nature as this; but whena foreigu vessel is to be search- ed it is necessary to ask the permissiov of the Consul of the suspected parties’ government. Ten, after arresting Capt. Mayo, they ought, according to their own (Haytien) laws, tohave taken him immediately before a Justice of the Peace, who is to decide whether there was suvicient ground for imprisonment. Nothing of this kind was done; he was thrown into pri- n, and kept there until orders came frem Port au Prioce to take him ther While in pri Captain Mayo received only the cus- tomary Haytien prison allowance of ualf a dollar (three cents) @ Week. Just think of ii—three cents for a grows man Wo live upon a whole week ! It may be the object of the government of Mr. Sou- Jouque to Kill his prisoners by this miserable allowance, which gives only half a plaintain per day; but then he may have to learn, at his own expense, that foreigners must be treated in a different way. Had it not been for the personal triendsof Captain Mayo he would have been starved to death in a few days. on foot, which, being nearly 210 miles, would have been certain death, and only gave up this when Mr, Laroche agreed to pay the expenses of a little schooner of about fifteen tons, which they styled a Haytien man-of-war. Nobody Was astonished at the acquittal of the parties, excepting those who, from bad feelings against him to be condemned, although innocent. The sentence, of course, does not ray how much he to pay, bat it is clearly understood that it cost him $80,000. From this it may be seen how much it costs an innocent man in Hayti to prove his innocence, The next question is, what will the United States do? Will the men of-war, who are to come out here shortly, bring Instructions with them to enforce an indemnity to be paid, and exact a satisfaction for the insult offered to our flag? Unless thia be the ease Mr. Buchanan may as well keep his men-of-war at home, for their presence here without accomplisbing anything will only make the ne- groes worse. ‘The manner in which a compliance with the dictates of common sense and justice might be enforced would be by firing the government storehouses and palaces, and by blowing up the few half tumbled down little forts around the city, al) of which could be done in two hours. Mr. Soulouque still hesitate, then s bieckade would, by withholding provisions, compel the people to live on plain- tains and sweet potatoes, which migut do for a day or two, but would soon make him give in. ‘The pride of Little Africa needs a decided humbling, and the sooner they get it the better. ‘Our trade has not progressed as favorably as was ex- pected, owing not to the scarcity, but the entire absence of money. The donbloon—the standard of our money market—has now fallen to $190. ‘The amount of coffee brought in this week t# hewdly 3,000 bags, while it ought to be three times that amonnt.

COMMON FLEAS—SPECIAL TERM. Before Hon. Judge Daly. Dro. 17.—The People vs. Albert Muller.—This case came up on demurrer of Mr. D. B. Taylor, defendant's counsel. There are four hundred other defendants, charged with selling liquor on Sundays. The complaint sets forth that one Albert Muller, the defendant, &c., did, on the 2d day of Al t, 1898%—that day being Sunday—publicly offer for sale intox liquors, contrary to the of the act of the Legislature of this State of New York, en- titled “An act toestablish a Metropolitan Police District, and to provide for the government thereof,” passed April 15, 1867; that by means thereof the defendant is indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of $50, for the benefit of the police contingent fund. The defendant's counsel demurs ‘on the following grounds:—First, that the complaint «oes not state facts suflicient to constitute a cause of action; second, that it does not state any fact the violation of which would be a breach of law; third, that it does not ad that any violation of law was com- mitted by the defendant; fourth, that there is no law in existence as alleged in the complaint; fifth, that the provision of the act under which the action is brought was repealed by the passage of the act entitled ‘An act to sup- ress intemperance and to regulate the sale of intoxicating uors.”? Decision reserved. Police Intelligence. SINGULAR RECOVERY OF A VALUABLE DIAMOND RING. About two weeks ago Mrs. Bernard Van Rensselaer, of Albany, was robbed of a portemonnaie, containing fifty dollars in bills and a diamond ring, valued at $300, while she was making some purchases in the dry goods store of Ubsdell, Pierson & Lake, Some expert pickpocket re- lieved her of the pocketbook while she was examining a mndire antique, and it was not until she put her hand in her pocket to pay for the silk that sho discovered the loss. An effort was made to effect the recovery of the property, by means of oxtensive advertising, but the attempt proved frnitless. A few evenings ago policemen Roach and Albertson, of the Sixteenth ward, started out on a tour of inspection. They visited a well known resort in Ninth avenue, near the corner of Twenty-fifth street, kept by a genius rejoicing in the cognomen of Cockney Dan, There they found Dan, his wife Mary, Henry Fields and a woman called Manchester Moll, all closeted to- gether, and talking about @ proposed trip to New Or- leans. From the conversation that occurred the icemen learned that two of the party had just returned ‘om down town, Where they had been purchasing tickets it City; that they had been taken in and done for by 2 couple of emigrant runners, who gave them second clase tickets instead of first class ones for which they had paid. While the conversation was going on Albertson ac- cidentally espied a very handsome diamond ring upon the finger of Manchester Moll, and called the attention of Roach to the fact. The idea then struck the policemen that it was the identical ring lost by Mrs. Van Rensselaer. It bore an exact resembiance to the one advertised by that lady, and they finally became convinced that they had fallen in with good game. Soonafterwards the women were observed to leave the saloon and walk down Twenty- fifth street, apparently in somewhat of a hurry. The po- | licemen stole cautiously after them, and succeeded in overtaking them before they had progressed many yards. Roach walked up to Manchester Moll and signified a desire to see the ring she had | on ber finger. Moll acceded to the request, when | Roach told her that it belonged to a lady in Albany. Moll denied that such was the fact, saying that her husband made it a present to her in the old country, and that it was ber property and no one else’s.” The policeman begged leave to differ and insinuated that it would be ne- cessary for Moll to go to the station house and defend her right to the property. Moll became indignant and finally | quite abusive, but the policeman was not to be trifled with, and accordingty the young lady and her companion were marched to the lock up. The ring was then placed in the care of Sergeant Carpenter, of the above-mentioned district, and from his hands it passed into those of Justice | Davison, at the Second District Police Court, where it is now awaiting the arrival of its lawfulowner.

There were a few pictures among the lot which were above medioerity, but the great mass were rather ordina- Ty affairs, and some were little better than mere daubs. The worst sold for a dollar each, hardly the value of the frames, but many of the best brought over forty dollars each. Of the latter were “The Faries’’ and a landscape, both by Noelie. The sale, altogether, was rather dull, owig, perhaps, partly to the depreased condition of the times, and partly to the quality of the paintings, Fine iy Cierry Sreeet—Six Honees Berxep to Deatit | AND Axotnex PartiaLty Borwrp.—Shortly betore 5 o'clock | on Thursday morning a fire broke out in a row of stables | situated in rear of 872 Cherry street.

A. W. BRADFORD, Surrog: United States Circuit Court, IMPORTANT SUIT AGAINST THE EX-COLLECTOR. Before Hon, Judge Ingersoll. Dre. 17.—Charles F. Loosey vs. Heman J. Reifield.— This was an action of trover (the trial of which has ovcu- pied the court for the past three days), for the recovery of $30,000, brought by the plaintiff, as receiver and as Austrian Consul for the port of New York, against the de- fendant as Collector of the Customs for that port, arising out of four importations of merchandise at New York, in December, 1853, and January, 1854, per ships Rastede, Donan, Elbe, and Deutschland, from Hamburg, shipped by P. A. Milberg, and consigned to Bech & Kunhardt, at New York. The goods had been obtained by Jacod Ry- back, for whose account they were imported, but on a claim that Ryback was ap absconding debtor from Aus- tria, the original Austria owners—to fhe number of thirty —caused proceedings to be commenced, on the 30th day of December, 1853, in the New York Supreme Court against Jacob Ryback, and obtained an order of court ap- pointing the plaintiff receiver, and an injunction to pre- ‘vent Ryback from taking possession of the goods, which still remained in the Custom House. Notice of such re- ceivership and injunction was given to the defendant, and he was’ requested to hold the goods for the benefit of the receiver. This the defendant would not under- take to do, but in copsequence of a suggestion a copy of that notice was left with the keeper of the warehouse where the goods were stored. ortly afterwards the goods by the Rastede and Donaa were withdrawn from the Custom House by Jacob Ryback and one Dechy, by the production of the bills of lading, making an entry and paying the duties; and about nine months after that the goods by the Fibe and Deutschland were deliveret to Wim. H, Troti and one Steftani, who produced a certitied copy of the munifests, and alleged that the bills of lading were lest. The plaintiff followed some of the goodz, and re- covered a part of the proceeds of sales in the hands of an auction house in this city, and another in Philadelphia. ‘The Judge, in charging the jury, said that this is what is called an action of trover, Drought against Mr. Redfield, late Collector of the port of New York, for the recovery of a quantity of goods set up in the declaration, and which were imported in four vessels in December, 1853, and January, 1854. Before the plaintiff can recover, he must establish three facts, and these are—first, tbat he was owner of the goods in question; second, that he was not only owner, but that at that time he had a right to the possession of them, for if he was not entitled to the possession he cannct recover, although he may have been the owner; third, that the defendant was guilty of wrongfully converting the goods for his own use, The jury are not to take into consideration what has been said respecting this case being nominally against Mr. Redfield, and that he would be indemnified by the govern- ment. Ifthe goods have been wronfully converted by Mr. Redfield, the government, will not indemnify him. For the purposes of this case th jury might consider it an established fact that when these goods were taken out of the public store this plaintiff was the legal owner of them, and they would consider bim not only the legal owner, but that he had the right to the possession; so that the only juestion is, whether the defendant wrongfully converted them = his -~ _ If be has ng then the verdict must be in favor of the defendant. i to.8a) that Mr. Redfield was not bound ty <6 epenRsis to. : lie Deputy Collector issued a permit which he ought not to have issued, and if the store keeper delivered the goods on that permit, Mr. Redfield is not liable. ‘The jury mightassume that the Deputy Collector and the store. keeper acted improperly, yet ‘though they may be per Say mee does not necessarily follow that Mr. Red- personally responsible, unless he directed thi 4 ty Collector to wet as they have meted, ane erdict for the defeadant.
