This fact warns us of the necesalty existing for some means of protection against unskilled and half educated physicians. The truth is that the law upon this subject is too lax and indefinite. Men are per- mitted to practise medicine upon the virtue of a diploma or certificate, which, in many cases: is no guarantee at all of either skill or know- ledge of the medical art, and the public are thus constantly exposed to malpractice at the hands ef ignorant men, who follow the‘profes sion merely as a means of making money, without the ambition or the qualiftcations which pertain to the educated practitioner. Nor is this evil confined to physicians, so- called; it extends also to druggists, many of whom, in this city and elsewhere, are wholly unfit to compound medicines or make up pre- scriptions, and the consequence is that we currents, we find that they are really defined 1, 1a9 | by separate and diverse material interests. se ae mia enn Peugeot The widely extended farming population aaa trust or honor. “Oh, nonsense,” was AMUSBMENTS THIS EVENING, of the North and Northwest, in the the reply; “You don’t suppose they'll wll d absence of any great political issue r r= 7 ja ng 10, Fourteenth street—Irauuax Ore: | which involves their immediate welfare, bears ae seer ae tang: ever NIBLO’# GARDEN, Wroadway —Eavesrauan Puaronu. | Dave been seduced by fanatics and political de- ' armab~Gize Beans, ARernses a06 Erecting, magogues into @ course of extreme action, ‘Tien te See rests tag "PP Oe qhowseY THEATRE, Bowecy.—Vincimivs—Art Tuar | Which is transitory in its nature, but not the nations of beth -p ore male Wy eset rani h ipercmmmele less dangerous while it exists.

The resolution was passed by a large majority. A bill was introduced providing for the deepening of rivers emptying into the Gull of Mexico, and authorizing certain States to levy tonnage duties. It was referred to the Committee on Commerce. The bill to settle certain California land claims was laid aside, and the debate on Mr. Davis’ resolutions relative to the protection of slave property iu the Territories was resumed. Messrs. Clingman, Benjamin, Pagh, Da vis, Douglas, Johnson of Tennessee, Green and Wade participated in the discussion. The debate of which we give a pretty full report in another column, was quite lively, and is important so far as it developes the sentiments of the Senatorical de mocratic leaders upon the point in domestic poli- tics that was one of the principal eanses of the split in the Democrstic National Convention at Charleston last week. In the House the debate on the Tariff bill was continued in Committee of the Whole till the adjournment. The Union Constitutional National Convention will organize at Baltimore today. Our telegraphic despatches inform us that the Convention will be largely attended, delegates from twenty six States being already on the ground Something like a Gozen names are mentioned in connection with the Presidency, but the general impression seems to be that Gen.

It is probable that he will receive a fitting invitation from the Presi- dent of the United States to be his guest at the national capital, where the present and future rulers of the two divided branches of the family can commune together upon the jestinies of each, and the youth of the one may teap some advantage from the age and experience of the otber. But by ali means the Prince should be received with all courtesy and honor in this commercial metropolis of the Western World, where he can obtain a bet- ter knowledge of the country than in any other part of the republic; and perhaps he may fiad much to admire, and something to profit by, in our institutions, notwithstanding the strictures of Karl Grey.
