They are more or less idiotic; some /of them arequite helpless, and unable to articjx-N J late distinct sounds, their vocal utterances being \ v limited!to a sort of.cry, or hideous, imbecile laugh J !?the laugh of the Cretin.

Nearly all the Cretins are afflict ed with a peculiar malady of the iteck, which seeriis to be hereditary, developing itself sooner or later in life, according to surrounding circum sla.tjjyij suph .as residing in, marshy, unhealthy.lo caltties, using-impure; water, breathing impure air, living'in'fiffliyhabitations upon bad diet, and in habits pf.laziness inciilen; to a life qf ignorance, disease, and indulgence in strong drinks. Within a brief period several hospitals,have beeif estab lished for these wretched human' beings, wlure they arc kindly cared for at the public expense.? No one afflicted with Ute.disease is ever elected to a puttie office; and should it come upon him while holdingany. place of trust, the Cretin would be considered incapacitated ; and if very badly at tacked he, would, be'transferred to a situation in thfeRf)OSptfatj where his case could be properly cared for. "How inuch we iiri this country differ from, Eu: rope in the management of public affairs, ia appa rent from the fact that.instead ol providing a hos pital for our Cretins, we chose them for places"of honor, profit and power ever us. Some of them, it is true, do not manifest the ravages of the dis erDETunUl aflrr election; and then it dot snot show iLself. so mueb ja a:swelUd neck as in a peculiar and more dangerous affliction vulgarly known as a swelled 'head; but the diseace 'affect's' the whble system,jtjjalmost/remarkable manner.?'

The charm of speculation appears for the moment to be broken, and the man ufactuiers at Manchester, Preston, &c., are en couraged at the prospect of cheap bread. The Northern Times, Liverpool, has this paragraph on the breudstuffs supply i "The weather being favorable to the spring cropland our stores being filled to overflowing wiuMo'a'r and grain, the rumors of war are called into requisition tosustain the extortionate prices of graWalid floor in thiD Liverpool market. All Eu rope is to be convulsed,by the Russian aggression on Turk'eyl.'but'while England has more grain and flour in store than Kussia can produce, why should we apprehend scarcity from war with the Css ir?? The London trad^ evidently places no faith in the cry of 'war' 'scarcity.' France is silent; and what have the trade to expect but a reaction, which will sweep nil the speculators into the very vortex from which the holders of ^plS havj never returned.? To the trade we again say, 'be cautious.' Notwithstanding this, some of the best informed ciroul^s^Up'ort, with a dull'market, that "'scarce ly anV'^rressute to sell has been observable.", lit is; doubtless, howevei, lull lime to "stand from under;" The appearance df'tbe spring crop will soonhave ita effect.

Not a hundred years since there was a certain physician who.had become souiew hat .celebrated; his reputation beingdue partly to science, but more to shrewedness. One day a lady (-resented herself at his office, to consult him respecting her eyes. He examined them and found that they .were weak, that her sight u as thick, and .that something affected oneof the pupils. The lady expressed herself in polished language; her appearance was charming, her toilet very taste-' ful, and in fact her tout ensemble lhat of a well born, well educated aud wealthy demoiselle ?Thecase is grave, very grave,* said the doctor. 'Ah! monDieul' '1 believe I can cure you' but the tieatuie.it will be long.' ?What is the matter!' ?You are threatenedyith an ainarousis.' The scientific tefm made the lady -tremble. She did nt> .comprehend its meaning, but, nevertheless, was frciglitened. 'What ought ito do!' she psked. 'You must place yourself entirely underm> care. Madame doubtless lives in Paris!' 'Alas! no 1 came here expressly tocoluult you.' *1 regret-it-should be so Madame. The com plaint you have threatens the loss of your sight. It requires most energetic treatment. It is neces sary 1 should see you often, very often, almost every day.' ?I shailthen be compelled to take apartments in Paris.' ?1'would advise you to do so. The utmost care and mijst' constant attention are required to effect a cure; without, 1 can answer for nothing,' The lady followed the physician's advice and took up her abode in a magnificent hotel near the Chaussee d'Antin. Thus the oculist'had 1. rseeu alight?she was both fashionable and rich. A longtime ensued, during which the doctor ,was unremitting in his care arid attention, and never lelt his pauent without a thousand precau tions upon the observance of which .he said depen ded her cure. Meanwhile weeks succeeded to days, and months to weeks, and yet the wished forcurewasas far off as ever. One day it was, 'very soon now,'the next a'little longer,' and so 011. At last he brodglit'the'-lndy a jfair of specta cles; and instructed her how to wear them. Now whe'tlier it was that the faif patient did not fancy her appearance with these satrie spectacles on, I know not, but certain it is, that one morning certain suspiciens arose in her mind, and to,satisfy herself she resolved 10 experiment upon the doc tor's sincerity. She accordingly put on aln ugly black bonnet, a shabby dress and a pair of wooden shoes; threw 'an 'old fashioned shawl over her shoulders, placed a basket under h.er arm, took an umberella 111 her hand, anS in the ihjst' of the mprniri^'Sillie'd' forth on a visit to the doctor. .
