      TsHUwnmoB . —The Wstorj of medicine is by no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more is knoirii of diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this mo-j ment , than in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases ' are quite as nu ' merpua , and in the aggregate as fatal . Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the ^ next age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn of cures , ' and they ,, in their turn , have been conditioned as failures , lledicincs themselves are the subjects unsettled ; in fact , that it lias no established principles , that it ii little more than conjectural ? 'At this moment , ' says Mr . Pinny , "' the opinions on the subject ot treatment are almost as numerous as the practitioners themselves .

      FRANCE . The Assembly adjourned last Saturday until Thursday , the . 20 th inst , in order that the representatives might have time to examine the new departmental and municipal law . The members of the Mountain bare signed a memorial , praying , or rather demanding , that a full amnesty should be granted { or ail political offences © Nuafuted since February , 1848 . But this proposition ha 3 not been signed either by Lamartine or General Cavaignac . Fresh troops are it is said to be sent to Rome , to counteract the Austrian troops , which are being sent into Italy .

      The President has taken another step towards attaching the army to himself , by displacing General Jnllien from the command of a brigade of the army of Paris , and substituting General Herbilen—as devoted an adherent to the President as Jullien to the Assembly . Kmilie Girardin ha 3 published two addrfsiea in the 'Presse '—one to the' Governments of Europe , ' the other to the People of England , on 'the abolition of misery by the elevation of wages . ' Both addresses are long and eloquent , bnt the latter has some ludicrous misconceptions—such as , that the treadmill is a machine indispensable to the English workhouse . To Mr . Cuhden , M . Girardin confides 'the care and honour of translating this appeal . '

      Oa Tuesday twenty commissioners were elected by the National Assembly to report on the bill reguhtiog the appointment of communal officers . O these commhsiouers twelve are opposed to the ap . pointment of mayors by the government .

      GERMANY . The Austrian M ' . n . siarial paper state 3 that Austria and Prussia intend to monopolise the military system , and to occupy the most important positions in Germany . An army of the two Powers will occupy the country from Rastadt to Dusseldorf , with its headquarters at Mayence and Frankfort . The Ministerial paper adds , that this military protectorate will make the question of the Central Executive a matter of secondary importance .

      The French Minister and Lord Palmerston have protested , it is believed , most strongly to the Austrian , Prussian , and Russian Cabinets , against the division 3 : Germany , as proposed in the Dresden Conferences ; and ditectlr intimating that as the confederation was the work , of a European congress , it could not be subject to any reorganisation or alteration without the co-operation and consent of the powers wbo were parlies to its formation , by the Vitnna treaty of 1815 . It is said that Prince Schwarzenberg , in reply , contents himself with stating that the Austrian government will examine the objections of Fraace and Eng ' and .

      RUSSIA . It is alleged on the authority of travellfrs who have lately passed through Poland , tbat an enormous Russian army has been concentrated in an imposing and menacing position in the kingdom of Poland , and that ramours of an important expedition are freely circulated among the various corps of that arn : y .

      EGYPT . News direct from Alexandria , of the 6-h inst ., mention intimations having been made irom the Porte of the following reforms , to be carried into execution with reference to Egypt : —1 st . Reduction of the land tax to a third of its present amount-, 2 nd . Reduction of ifce standing army of Egypt to 20 , 001 ) men ; 3 rd .

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . The Kaffirs are in a very unsettled and rebellious state ; and , in consequence , His Exceliencv Sir H . Smith bas published a proclamation , informing tht people that he would insiituie a searching investigation into the causes of the . present excitement , with a view to tbe punishment of the guilty authors thereof . On the following day anothtr proclamation was issued , calling upon t ! ie bottler inhabitants to enrol themselves for their own protection when the Iroops should advance , « for , ' savs hia

      excellency , the present crisis of affairs demands very summary procedure on my part when a full and jusi cause is elucidated and substantiated . ' In consequence of the above proclamation the inhabitants have commenced to enrol theirselces , aud to select their own officers . This unsatisfactory state of things kept the colonists in a continual state of fear and alarm , and -lie greatest apprehensions were entertained that as soon as Sir II . Smith should leave the frontier upon ' his return home , the wish , at least , to strike the blow would not be wanting on the part of aianv of the Kaffir tribes .

Meanwhile the internal order and financial prospers of tbe province were all that could be drsired ; and this satisfactory slate of affairs was ascribed to the lofty administrative talents of General Rosas .

A " difficulty " had been on hand several days , and some rough skirmishes had taken place . The particulars , brieflv as far as we have heard are these : —The " difficulty , " on the one part , was between Monroe Carter , David Anjjelly , William Jolly , Walker and perhaps others ; and , on the other part , between Jevrv Jogepb and Sevkr Prejcr , brothers , and tneir friends . In the rencounter which took place

      , on Wednesday , the parties met in Market-street , in the heart of the town . The weapons used were two six revolvers , a rifle , a musket , a bowie knife , an axe , grindstone , clubs , &c . Carter was not present . His party fortod in Townsend and Co ' s store , and used the revolvers . Tlie battle was brief but terrible . Joseph Freyer had an eye shot out-Jerry wasi shot in the arm-Josep h Loveladj in his band . Of the other pnrty , . Walker was shot an the shoulder with musket balls , and his arm

      badly broken—his damage very serious ; William Jolly cut on the head and neck with a bowie knife . A man not engaged in the fight , by the name of Hush , was shot in tha mouth . Colonel Thomas M'Gallie standing in a store opposite , had a ball lodged in tbe breast of his coat . What damage was done with rock- > and clubs we are i : ot informed .

      ^——^^ w— _ —^^——WMm ^ M ^ i THE SAILORS' STRIKE . Sunderland , Saturday . —One of the largest indoor meetings held during the agitation took place m this town last evening . It was convened by " ; the Mayor , in compliance with a requisition presented to him by tbe sailors . Tbe building , the largest in the town , was crammed , and the avenues leading to it were also filled with sailors . The Mayor very briefly introduced the proceedings of the meeting . Tbe following motion was submitted for " tbe consideration ol the seamen : — 'That the Board of Trade having emphatically declared that they cannot repeal the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act , which affects our body , nor can any body , except Parliament do so ; looking , therefore , to the time which must necessarily elapse before a bill for

      a repeal of toe said act can be introduced to and passed through both Houses of Parliament , tbis meeting is of opinion that the strike should be suspended tor tbe present , and that in the meantime work ought to be resumed , and every effort made , by memorial and otherwise , to obtain a repeal of the objectionable clauses of the act . That in coming to this conclusion tbe meeting is of opinion that there has been no cause to regret the strike , Jm t , on the contrary , it is a matter of . great satisfaction thai one part of our object has been achieved , '•)/ ,. at : irapor ; ant advance of wages . ' This proposi ^ n was supported by Mr . Charlton ( mate ) , Mr . Groombridge ( master ) , Mr . Young ( mate ) , Mr . Steward , aud other seamen . The motion was opposed by two delegates , of the names of Chalk and Ormond , aud amid much noUe and conivwon the motion was

      put from tbe chair and lost , and an amendment , that the strike continue , carried . The Mayor , after the amendment was carried , strongly , remonstrated with the seamen on the folly , of their conduct , pointing out to them the misery and suffering that many of their wives and families were enduring , and Ihe little sympathy and support they could expect afier the result of that night ' s proceedings ; and most emphatically told the ¦ ' meeting that he and the authorities were determined the trade of the port should not be stopped , that seamen desirous of going to sea would be protected , and any one daring to intimidate th-ra would be severely punished . Mr . Jitues Williams , a town councillor , in a very able speech , showed many of the advantages of the Mercantile Marine Act , and urged upon tbe men to reconsider the subject , and go to sea at once .

      The South Shields Shipowners' Society , represent , ing the whole of the itwuviHics dubs ol the town , has jusi issued the following notice : — ' At a meeting of the Shipowners' Society , held at their office this 15 th day of February , 1851 , for the purpose of taking into consideration the present great detention of shipping in this port occasioned by the strike of seamen , and to suggest ' measures to protect such seamen as are disposed to ' engaje themselves to ships , Thomas Forsvtli , Esq ., in the chair , a copy of the resolution passed at a meeting of seamen yWter * day having been laid before the meeting , it was resolved unanimously-- 'Tbat although this society

      agree with the seamen in opposing some of the clauses of the Mercantile Marine Act , and when the consolidated hill comes before the House of Commons will probably petition ' against ' the objectionable clauses , yet this society cannot allow their shi pping property to remain unemployed ; and , therefore , if tne . Beamen persist in refusing to go to sea , the shipowners must , however reluctantly , procure men from other places ; and apply to the authorities is protect them from either insult or injury . ' That this resolution be signed b y the chairman , printed , and published in the town' and neighbourhood . — Thomas Fobsyth , Chairman . '

      The strike is now producing great inconvenience and want of employment at the pits , and amongst the steam-bo-u men keelmen , and other labourers who make a liviDg on the river . A deputation of seamen representing Sunderland , Shields , and the neighbouring ports , have left for London to-day , to wait upon and represent their grievances to ihe Board of Trade . ¦ It is expected that if they receive a favourable answer from the government , the strike will cease . Two unfortunate forei gners were 'tarred and feathered' at North Shields this morning . It

      appears they bad coma across from Sunderland to a foreign vessel in the Tjne , and had been overhauled by a company of' watchers ' who are kept 011 the look-out by the men oa strike . The foreigners being unable to give a good aceount of themselves , were followed without the precincts of the borough . One of them was caught near some c » al staiths at Hayhole , beBmeared with coal tar , and afterwards dusted with chaff from anold bed-tick . The other man , after a chase , was caught in the village of Howdon , and met a similar fate , amid the yells and derision of a mob of women .

      The inhabitants of North Shields were thrown into great excitement and alarm by the' conduct of the sailors on strike ' on Sunday . It ' seems a vury areat number of boats bad been upon the T \ ne all day on the look out for vessles going to sea , and to watch that no seamen got to sea with them ; Seven boats' crews having gone on board the ^ Eolian , laying at one of the tiers opposite North Shield ? , and having caught' a half marrow' on board , they forced him into one of the boats ' , and brought him on shore . When they landed him they handed him over to a mob of women , who were ready waiting for him , and having got him into one of the galleries near ihe river , these women besmeared him over

      with coal-tar , and turned him into the streets . He was then run out of the town , and was found during the latter part of the day lying behind a hedge near Burdon-Main Pit in a very exhausted condition . Ht > was ^ taken to the police-station , and . protected . Durins the afternoon another niol > of seamen went on board the Spring , a London trader , and having found a seaman of the name . of Thomas Medcalf on board , they gave him the alternative of either coming on shore , or being flung into the river . H « preferred the former , and on being landed on o « e of the quays was received liy an immense mob of nearly 1 , 000 men and women , and treated in the most savage and cruel manner . He was kicked and

      beaten about the head until he was senseless , and the people were threatening to take him to the , fields and tear him to pieces , when he was rescued from them by the police . Two of the rioters were fined £ b each on Monday forenoon , and it is expected that the ringleaders will be captured . A 1 watcher' met with a melancholy death on Sunday morning . A boat ' s crew of them went off to a vessel towing down , and on attempting to hook the vessel got athwart the ship ' s boat , " and . were upset Before assistance could be rendered , one of them , a seaman of the name of Mark ' Armstrong , was drowned . His bod y was picked up on Sunday afternoon . Attempts were made to tar and feather

      some men at South Shields on Sunday night , hut the polic ; having received information were able to rescue the . ' seamen from the rioters . A strong body Of polies has come down from Newcastle xo North Shields , and a number of special constables sworn in at South Shields . . There are a « reat number of shi ps ready for sea , but from the conduct of the uwn it " u impossible to procure crews for them . Some of the London traders have been lying laden for the aBt fortnight in the Tyne , hut the owners have been unable , to procure crews for them . If the ' strike continues much longer it will entail very serious consequences to the shipping ' and ' mercantile interests of the district . Seven vessels got to sea from the Wear on Tuesday .

      THE BARRA HIGHLANDERS . ( From the imicraess Courier . ) The natives of the remote and poverty-stricken group of islands , collectively known as Barra , driven by a necessity which no shift could longer evade Beorn at last to have resolved on leaving those unfriendly shores , to seek on the mainhnd that labour and subsistence which wero no longer to be found in their islands . On the evening of Saturday Ia 3 t , a good deal of surprise and excitement was occasioned here by the sudden appearance on our streets of a large body of most squalid-looking men and women , with , their children-numbering sixtyone souls—who had just landed from the western steamerand who took up their position on the

      , pavement opposite our Town House , "to see , as they said , " what the authorities were to do with them ! " They brought with them their large family chests , around which they grouped themselves , and an encampment of Bedouins could not present a more picturesque—though , alas ! melancholyspectacle than did these poor islcsmen . The men seemed to be hardy , weather-beaten fellows , able to work , but at the same time obviously labouring under the effects of recent privations and scanty food ; and the women and children presented a most deplorable spectacle . They were almost all little dark-eyed and black-haired Celts—genuine descendants of tho old Ctan Maoniel , the aboriginal stock of the Burra population , to which has been added »

      slight admixture of the name of Campbell , Macmillan , Gillies , and Macdougall . A great cr > w < l soon collected round the strangers , and the sitting magistrate , on being waited upon by the superintendent of police , sent for Mr . Anderson , the , inspector of the poor , and it was arranged that until Monday morning they should be admitted into the Poors ' -house . In the meantime , however , the story spread over the town , and much sympathy was excited . . Women and children came from all quarters with bread to the poor families , and small sums were handed to them by the passers , to supply the most pressing wants . As soon as 801116 of the rooms of the Poors ' -house could ue prepared for

      the unexpected visitors , forty-fire of them were so received , being all members of seven families , but other three families wore accommodated with lodgings on the Morkinch . On Tuesday morning the whole party moved eastwards , the men in quest of work , and tho women and children to follow their fortunes ; and as the former were all bred to a seafaring life , wo understand that they indulge tho reasonable expectation of getting located among the industrious fishing people of the Buchan coast , who are many of them the same faith—for it would appear that tho Reformation had never penetrated to Barra !

      Tho story of these poor people , so far as we have been able to gather it , is'this , but for the correctness of these statements , we , of course , do not vouch : —Prior to Colonel Gordon ' s purchase of their island , or rather cluster of islands , they all enjoyed , for very low vents , considerable portions of such of the lands as could bo cultivated ; and they represent tho climate as quite adapted for the growth of bere , barley , or oats . Within the last ten years their former possessions have been taken from thorn aud thrown into ' large farms , and the poor crofters have been crowded together on patches of meadow or mossy ground , scarcely at all reclaimable , and for small pieces of which they had to paygreatly increased rates of rent . Their

      fishing , also , has of late fallen off , and this , with the failure of the kelp trade and potato crop , has thrown the people into such complete poverty , that for some time they have been quite unable to command funds for the repair of their boats , lines , or hooks , of whiclv they may loso great numbers in a single storm . For the Jast year or two thejf have been mere squatter ? , having no right to a house or lot of ground , arid although offered latterly employment at road-inaking , ' they seem to have become too numerous even for that , and , the allowance made them in meal * they assert was insufficient to support life . It " was one pound of Indian meal a day to each married man , half a pound for his wife , imd half a' pound for each child below eleven ' vears

      ofage ^ -single young men abovo that age not being employed ; These pittances , the people state , only afforded a sort of thick gruel once a day to each family , upon which ; they assert , they could not subsist long . Accordingly , they were at kit driven to such shifts , that they had to implore the sailing master of the lighthouse packet at Barra to take them to tho mainland , which he humanely did upon Saturday , the 1 st inst ., but it was feared that many have been left behind in a state of great want . The packet could not take half the number that crowded into it , and it was followed by a small skiff or open boat containing a family of eight individuals , the weaker portion of whom seem to have suffered much from the cold and from tlie sea occasionally breaking over their boat .

Near the extreme station of the Russian fur company they learned from the natives that a party of white men had been encamped 300 or 400 miles inland , that the Russians bad made an attempt to supply them with provisions and necessaries , but that the natives , who are at enmity with the Rus-» ians , had frustrated all attempts . No communication could be opened with the spot where they were said to be , as a hostile tribe intervened . From the Esquimauxs they had this vague story very satisfactoril y confirmed , with the addition that the whites and natives having quarrelled , the former had been murdered .

      Accounts from Geneva , dated the 12 th , state that Mazzini had returned to that place after a sho't absence . He continues to reside in the nei g hbour , hood of the city , and comes in every day in the most public manner to receive the visits of his friends . He is still activel y engaged in the organisation of his loan , and in the recruiting service for the invasion of Iialy . ' His success , however , in the latter respect has not been equal to his hopes ; his troops do not , it is said , yet amount to more than 500 or 600 men , Poles , Germans , Italians , French , &c . The system of franking letters by means of 3 taraps is being introduced into the Post-office of Poland and Russia .

      1 he wife of the ex-MiniaterMavromiscbel ' s is acc « sed of complicity in the assassination of the Minister of Justice Korfiotakis , and orders have been given to bring her to trial . The Prince de Canino has resolved henceforth to reside at Paris , and has purchased a large hotel in the Rue de Lille , near the Palais Bourbon . A correspondent at Rome writes to the 'Messaggere Modanese , " under date of the 4 th . that the

      iists of the new tar-payers are rapidly progressing in the Roman provinces , and ; that the new law , which imposes a tax upon trade » and professions , is shortly to come into vigour . The tax will yield 11 , 000 scudi ( 66 , 000 f . ) in Ihe province of Viterbo , and 7 , 000 scudi ( 12 , 000 f . ) in that of Yelletri . It is generally understood at Rome that the Papal government will be under the necessity of increasing all the taxes and of raising the price of salt to the old standard .

      The customs Congress in Vienna still continues its sittings . Its decisions ate almost constantl y in favour of high protective duties . When Mr . Heald and his wife , Lola Montez , took up their residence some months ago in the Cite Beajan in Paris , they commissioned M . Jacquand to paint their portraits on the same canvas , and it was determined that Mr . Heald should be represented at full length , in his uniform as . an officer of the guards , offering to his bride , seated on a s . » fa , a present of jewellery . Just as the painting w terminated , M . Jacquand learning that Mr .

      Heald had left for England , brought ai \ action against him before the civil tribunal for the price of the picture . Mr . Heald objected to the price ( lO . OOOf . ) as excessive , " and the tribunal directed M , Inures to examine the painting , and to say what it really was worth . AI . Ingres reported that lO . OOOfr . was a fair price . On Saturday tbe matter camebefore the tribunal for a final decision . M . Jacquand still demanded lO OOOfr ., but the tribunal , af er hearing M Blanchet , fixsd the price at 8 , 000 f ., and condemned Mr . Heald to pay that sum . The costs were ordered ? o Us divided between the parties .

      A few days since , as a priest was passing through the Place Rouville , at Lyons , he was insulted by a nnrab ? r of boys , the oldest of whom was not more than ei ghteen . On the commissary of police being informed of this outrage , he arrested one of tbe party , acd on searching the house where he lived , a pistol quite new was found . This fact led fns commissary to demand the names of those who were with him at the time , and fifteen other similar pistols were found . Several poignards of the most effective kind were also seized . These arrests have , it is said , led to the discovery of a secret society under the appellation of ' Societe des Velites , ' of which these youths were members .

      The deficit in Prussia in the annual accounts of revenue and expenditure for the past year amounts to more than thirty-two millions of thalers in consequence of the mobilisation of November . This sum includes the eighteen millions which were voted for military pirposes in February last , of which f our or five millions remained in hand when the mobilisation was decreed . These have been squandered away , together with the other fourteen millions , which are on the wrong side of the account . The thirty millions are exclusivel y of the two millions five hundred thousand thalers which will be produced by tbe sale of the enormous quantity of horses purchased . It may be s&ftly asserted that the

      mobilisation of the army has entailed upon the country a direct expenditure of fully eighteen million thalers . A manuscript , written by Papin , so well known forbissuccessful experiments connected with the molive power of steam , has just been discovered , says the ' Si * cle , " near Marburgh , a small town of Elec toral Hesse . This work bears the uame of ' Traite des Operations sans Douteur , ' and in it are examined the different means that mi ght he employed to deaden , or rather altogether nullify , sensibility when surgical operations are being performed on the human body . Papin composed this work in 1681 , when filling tbe situation of professor in the university of Marburgh ; and in it he has

      anticipated the effects produced in modern times b y cblorofcTm and sulphuric etber . He communicated bis ideas to bis colleagues ia the university , but from them received anything but encouragement . In consequence he took such a disgust to medical pursuits that he gave up his profession as a physician , and directed his attention to natural philosophy ] in which he subsequently became so celebrated . In quitting Germany , to return to France he gave the manuscript to a friend of his , Dr . Brarnar . It at last came into the hands of a teacher named Lahn , who died near Marburgh last month . It has now been purchased by the Grand Duke of Hesse for his private library .

      the Emperor of Russia has published an ukase compelling J-wish youths to enter ihe array which enacts that , for every Jewish recruit who fails , three more , not under twenty years of age , shall be enlisted ; and also , that for ever 2 . 000 roubles remaining due . b y a Jewish community in the yearly payment of its imposts , a Jew . of full age , shall becom-« e ! l < d to enter ibe army . Some ten or eleven tobacco planners , have been arrested in the neighbourhood of Pesth on the charge of exciting to a riot .
