This indeed would be a most glorious state of things, and one that I would advocate by all means, as of course it would be a strong precedent for opening all the other public establishments to the multitude. Instead of having a few highly paid officials, who are now responsible for what t_*y do, we should all have a chance of sharing in the emol uments of their offices, but without responsibility, as there can be none of that whore there are many masters. Truly this would be a most republican state of things, and one well suited to the intelli gence of the present day. There would then be nothing but quarrelling and confusion, in which even the humblest might hope to distinguish him self, instead of the present orderly state of things— when the avenues to office or promotion by some unaccountable mismanagement seem to be closed against the most deserving individuals. In the instance before adverted to, however, that of the Hospital, I see another advantage in adopting the equality principle, and which is so great, that I am sure the public will use every endeavour to have tho hospital opened to practitioners of every grade. It is this. Accordiug to the present system, numbers of the native population, when sick, are induced to enter it, and almost invariably get cured of the complaints they labour under, thereby tending to keep up their race, and consequently increasing the period during which they are to be a charge and annoyance to the colony, an,d prevent the spread of Eurovetwi operations in the fine districts now ' ■ \

occupied by them. But alter the system—admit quacks of every description—and the public may rest assured that few bad cases will theu be cured, and that many troublesome fellows will soon be translated to another and better world; whilst at the same time they could not complain at having half a dozen different persons to attend them, most of whom might not understand a word of their lan guage, iustead of one of whose success with them a few persons appear to be jealous.
