1. No Compensation allowed if Ordinance repealed. — Provided always, and be it enacted, that no person who shall enter into or carry on the business of a distiller shall be entitled to any compensation for any loss that he may sustain by reason of this ordinance being disallowed by her Majesty, or being at any time repealed by the Legislative Council of the colony, or by any law that may be enacted for the prevention of distillation within the colony. 2.

Another New System of Medicine. — The Siecle states that Dr. Junod, of Paris, has invented a new method, which he terms hemospasic, for the treatment of a number of diseases. This method consists in tbe employment of a pneumatic apparatus of a peculiar construction, in which the- arm or leg is so placed as to attract the blood to the extremities without diminishing the mass of this liquid. This apparatus, which has been for some time in use, both amongst the public and in the hospitals of Paris, has obtained the approbation of the moßt eminent physicians in Paris. It gained for its author the Montyon prize, together with tbe congratulations and the thanks of the Council- General of the hospitals of Paris. Dublin Evening Packet, March 2.
