Doctors' Fees.*
The medidal profession, with great deserts,
has been greatly neglected by book-makers.
How many biographies of statesmen, lawyers,
warriors, artiste, authors, engineers, and cler
gymen have been published—how few of dOc
tors! Yet medical men are indispensable to
the human race. They help us into the world;
they carry us through the perilous ailments of
infancy; they aid us in youth and manhood;
they repair the ravages of 44 fast" life or years ;
they set us on our legs again after severe acci
dents; and, when life's fitful fever assails us
at the close, they alleviate the sufferings
which they cannot remove. The clergyman,
who sees to our souls, is much neglected.
The lawyer, Who secures our property to us,
is often regarded as a necessary evil, at best.
But the doctor is looked upon as part of our
*family. When he visits us as a friend, the
*fest ehair is wheeled over to him ; and
When he is called in, Aluring our ailments, his
dicta are regarded as words of fate. We look,
indeed, upon - the doctOr a confidential
friend. Whatever, he sees or bears is held as
sound as if it had been confided to him under
the seal of confession. Chatty he may be,
for to he a good conversationist is a capital
qualification for one's medical attendant,
but !his patients. may be sure that if he
has any • secrets of theirs he will never
let them slip out, even in: what may seem
to' be the most careless tittle-tattle. There

Among our .notices of new publications
yesterday we drew attention to ca A. Book
about Doctors," by J. Gordy Jeaffreson,
This is a handsome reprint of a recent Eng
lisn work, 'OlO has,olroa4 got into a second
edition aOrofia :the water. The • antiOni der
sign was ci to_ collect, in a. readable and at.
tractive form, the best of those medical ant;
that have been preserved by tradition or
literature." We must.. say that he has
realized his purpose. The book will
amuse the reedieal profession, while its
avoidance of technicalities will render it
acceptable in the drawing-room as well
as in the library. Much of the mate
..
nals are new—a considerable portion,
hitherto" . floating abOut in conversation, has
not previously been put in print. The result
is—a readable book, which you can take up at
any odd time when you have ten minutes dis
engaged ; it is not quite so easy, though, to
lay it down again.
Out of twenty-seven chapters in this book,
there is only one which we would desire to
exclude. This is cg Number Eleven—an Hos.
pital Story," of which we could makenothing,
so obSourely =is it told. • On the Other hand,
the personal anecdote's' of. the Doctors are
good—so are the -chapters- upon Quacks and
St. john;Long; npon .Literature and Art, as
connected with the profession; upon the
quarrels of pliyalcians ; and upon the Country
Medical Ilan.
From Mr. Jeaffreson's revelations on the
Subject of Fees, we shall now draw—giving it
as our opinion that; next to school-teachers,
medical - men are the 'worst remunerated class
in :the world. A , few obtain large incomes,

Office, the doctor has to give advice gratis, to
the poor, whereas the lawyer is not expected to
conduct your suit, nor the parson to marry you
without a suitable honorarium. Estimate the
comparative labor and risk of the three great
prefeasions, and judge how heavily the medi
cal is pressed. The clergyman may go to his
Virtuous bed, # so it please him, at ulna in
the evening. The lawyer may frequently
have occasion to remain over his cases, even I
until "the ma' hours," The doctor, what
ever hour he throws his wearied limbs and
aching head upon his couch, does so with a
known and ever-existent liability to he called
neat any hour, and have to go out, no matter
what the weather, to attend some patient—
often finding, when his journey has ended,
that there really was no reasonable pretext for
calling him out of bed at such an untimely
hour. We say nothing of the doctor's per
petual exposure to inieetion—which, indeed,
has been fatal to many in that profession,
That cc the laborer Is worthy of his hire,"
is a principle on which, from-the earliest re
cord, medical men have been treated---though
the hire is usually very inadequate. Now and
then, it is true, with good fortune to aid them,
doctors have acquired wealth, and even
founded families. Fuller, who flourished in
the middle of the 17th century, records that
before the time of Henry VIII., there was a
doctor oLphysic, cc father to Reginald, first
and last Lord Bray." In the reign of Henry
VIII., Dr. Butts, his physician, was knighted.
Dr. Thomas Wendy, and Dr. Hatcher (Queen
Elizabeth's physician) amassed fortunes. All
three respectively founded families in Nor
folk, Cambridge, and Lincoln, and each
served the honorable .office of Eigh Sheriff.
To this period belongs John Ayliffe, who
served as Sheriff of London, in which city he
was a merchant, alse practising as M. D., who
was knighted by Edward VI.
In the sixteenth century, in England, even
nobles made medicine and surgery part of,
their education. Many practised as amateurs,
and, when they did not kill, the regular prac,
titioners were called in to cure. The Earls
of Derby and Herfuth were famous for their
skill in chirargerie and bone-setting. King
James IV., • of Scotland, , (grandfather of un
fortunate Mary- Stuart,) affected considerable
knowledge. of :surgery; and Ills nobles—a 3
might be expected—made - a point of consult
ing him for their realer imaginary complaints.
When a man is seriously ill, he thinks that
no payment can be too much for the physi.
elan who restores him to health. Mr. Jeafire
son truly says; "The man who, when he is
in his agonies, gives his medical attendant
dou.ble. fees three times a day (and vows,
please God to recover, tomake his fortime by
trumpeting his praises to the world) on be
coming convaleacent, grows irritable, suspi
cious, and' distant, and by the time he can
resume his customary occupations, leas on
his dear benefactor and saviour as a designing
rascal, bent on •plundering him of his worldly
possessions."
He adds a story about Dr. Bouvart. It runs
thus; ce On entering, one morning, the cham
ber of a French marquis, whom he had at
tended through a very dangerous illness, he
was accosted by his noble patient in the fol
lowing terms f r Good day to you, Mr. Bon
vart; I feel quite in spirits, and think my
fever has left me.' cl. am sure it has,' re
plied Bouvart dryly. c The very first expres

explain yourself.' Nothing is easier. In

was in danger, 1 was your dearest friend ; as
you began to get better, I was your good Boa.

The great rule, which doctors rarely act
upon, is aeripe dum dolet--take your fee while
your patient-is in pain.

doctor's fee in England was ten shillings—
equal to thrice that sum at this day.
In the seventeenth century Sir Theodore
Magerne, a Genevese physician, practised in
England during the reigns of the three Stuart
Kings: We are told that a when a Mend,
utter consulting him, foolishly put two broad
gold pieces (six-and -thirty shillings each) on
the table, he quietly pocketed them. The
patient, who, as a friend, had expected to have
his fee refused, and therefore (deeming it well
to indulge in the magnificence of generosity
when it would cost him nothing) had absurdly
exhibited so large a sum, did not at all relish
the Sight of its being netted. His counte
nance, if not his tongue, made his mortifica
tion manifest. Sir," said Sir Theodore,
a I made my will this morning; and if it should
appear 'that I refused a fee, I might be deemed

Dr. Willis, whose treatment restored George
111. from his attack of madness in 1789, was
allowed £1,500 per annum, for twenty years,
and £650 for life to his son. Dr. Ring, who
saved the life of Charles 11., by bleeding him
during an apoplectic fit, received a regular
pardon for spilling the royal blood without
being one of the King's physicians, and was
ordered £l,OOO by the Privy Council—which
was not paid to him. Sir Astley Cooper, the
great surgeon, who lived in our own days, ac
tually realized £21,000 in one year. For a
long time, his income averaged £15,000 a
year. Mr. Jeaffreson tells us what were Sir
d.stley's earnings during his first nine years ,
practice ;
a In the first year he netted five guineas ;
in the second, twenty-iix pounds; in the third,
sixty-four pounds ; in the fourth, ninety-six
pounds; in the fifth, a hundred pounds; in
the sixth, two hundred pounds ; in the se
venth, four hundred pounds; in the eighth,
six hundred and ten pounds ; and in the ninth,
the year in which he secured his hospital ap
pointment, eleven hundred pounds." He
adds that, The largest fee Sir Astley Cooper
ever received was paid him by a West Indian
millionaire named Hyatt. This gentleman
having occasion to undergo a painful and peri
lous operation, was attended by Drs. Lettsom
and Nelson as physicians, and Sir Astley as
chirurgeon. The wealthy patient, his treat
ment having resulted most successfully, was
so delighted that he feed his physicians with
000 guineas each. 4e Bat you, sir," cried the
grateful old man, sitting up in his bed, and
speaking to his surgeon, "shall have some
thing better. There, sir—take that." The
that was the convalescent's nightcap, whit
he flung at the-dexterous operator. cc Sir,"
replied Sir Astley, picking up the cap, "I'll
pocket the affront." It was well he did so,
for on reaching home he found in the cap a
draft for 1,000 guineas.
But this was nothing to Catherine of Russia's
reward to Dr. Dimsdale, an English physician
who inoculated her and her son in 1788. His
fee was .£12,000, with 's. pension tor lite of ,E5OO
a year, and the rank of Baron of the empire.
He was grandson of the Robert Dimasle who
accompanied William Penn to America in
1684, and one of his descendants still enjoys
the title.
There is a good story of Dr. Hunter, (Jobe
Hunter's brother,) who swindled himself out
of a fee. On one occasion, when he was ill in
bed, a lady called and implored to be admitted
to his chamber for the benefit of his advice.
After considerable resistance on the part of
the servants, she obtained her request ; and
the Dick physician, sitting up in bed, attended
to her case, and prescribed for it. ci What is
your fee, sir ?" the lady asked, when the work
was done. The Doctor, with the prudent deli
cacy of his order, informed his patient that it
was a rule with "him never to fix his fee ;
on repeated entreaty that he would depart from
his custom, refused to do so. On this the
lady rose from her seat, and, courteously
thanking the Doctor, left him—not a little an

A curious announcement is just made by
the agent of the New 'fork and Charleston
line of steamers—via That their tariff of
freights is increased filly per cent. until fur
ther notice, cc in consequence of the increased
expenses incurred in running the ships? ,
Now, as wages, stores, coal, &c., are no high
er than they were six months ago, the phrase
ology of the advertisement provokes criti
cism. A falling off in business rather than
increased expenses is probably the true rea-
son.
The Tribune to-day becomes of age, and
takes occasion to state the remarkable fact
that. its circulation this morning, daily, semi
weekly, and weekly, reaches the enormous
number of 287,750 copies. Its current ex-
Tenses are about $lO,OOO per week, of which
over $l,OOO is for editors reporters,; and cor
respondents. All the editions of the Tribune
are now printed. from stereotype plates, the
process of making which is described in that ,
journal this morning.
The custom-house tables, showing the bust •
mess of this port for three-quarters of the Go
vernment fiscal year, which ends June 30, are
published this morning. For the quarter just
closed the increase of exports is about 150
per cent. over the same time in 1859, and for
the nine months of the fiscal year the increase ,
is nearly as large. The increase is made up
almost exclusively of breadstuff's, of which the
exports during the nine months are, in the
aggregate, equal to over forty millions of
bushels, and the demand as great at this mo
ment-a 6 at any time heretofore.
The scene at the custom house yesterday
and to-day beggars description. Notwith
standing notice is given that the new collector
will not receive applicants for place except
between the hours of S and 5 in the afternoon,
his private officels besieged by crowds, who
hope that by some lucky accidents they may
gain admission to the presence, and obtain
that great desideratum, a private interview.
Thus far all these aspirants have been diaap
pointed. During the usual hours for busineser
Mr. Barney gives his time to the legitimate
duties of the collectorship, and merchants and
others who have had occasion to transact mat
ters there speak approvingly of his manner of
doing things.
The new tariff law occasions considerable
inconvenience, but nothing like what might be
inferred trona the exaggerated reports of
scenes as published in the morning papers.
Thus far all, or nearly all, goods imported come
under the provisions of the old tariff, and of
course no delay or embarrassment occurs in
reference to them. When importations from
far-off places begin to come in, there will un
avoidably be some bother; but Mr. Barney
has very sensibly determined to retain in office
all or such portion of the present force as may'
be necessary to transact promptly the routine
duties of the office.
To Mr. Barney's honor be it remembered,
that his first appointment has been given to a
member of the editorial corps. The lucky
gentleman is Mr. E. C. Stedman, of the World,
author of that racy poetical squib, cf The Dia

The Conspiracy to Assassinate Presi
dent Lincoln.
[From the Albany Evening Jounml.l
Some, of Mr. Lincoln's friends having heard
that a conspiracy *stated to assassinate him on his
way to Washington, set on foot an investigation of
the matter. For this purpose they employed a de
tective of great experience, who was engaged at
Baltimore in the business some three weeks prior
to Mr. Lincoln's expected' arrival there, employ
ing both: mace and women to assist him. Shortly
after coming to Baltimore, the detective . disco-
Vered a Camel - nation of men banded together- un
der a -solemn oath to assassinate; the. President
elect. The - leader of- the conspirators was an -Ita
lian refugee, a barber, well known. in Baltimore,
who assented the name of Orsini, as indicative of
the part he was to perform.: The assistants em
ployed by the detective, who, like hithself, mere
strangers in Baltimore city, by assuming to be Se.
et:amoebas from :Louisiana- and other needing
States, gained. the Confidence of some of tee con
spirators, and were entrusted with their plans.
was arranged, in case Mr Lincoln should pass
safely over the railroad to Baltimore, that the con
spirators should mingle with the crowd which
might surround hie carriage, and by pretending to
be his friends, be enabled to approach his person,
when, upon a signal from their:leader, some or
them would shoot at Mr. Lincoln with their pia
tole, and others wouldthrow into his carriage hand
grenades filled with detonating poirder, similar to
those used in the attempted: assassination of the
Emperor LOBlB Napoleon. It was intended that,
in the confusion which should result from this at
tack, the assailants should • escape to' a - vessel
which was waiting in the harbor to receive -them,
and be carried to Mobile, in the seceding State of
Alabama.
Upon Mr. Lincoln's arrival in Philadelphia on
Thursday, the 21st day of February, the detective
visited Philadelphia and submitted to oertaln
friends of the Preaident'eleet the information .he
had collected as to the conspirators and their plane.
'An intereiew was immediately arranged between
Mr. Lincoln and the' detective. The interview
took place in Mr. :Linooln's room; in the „Conti
nental Hotel, where be was staying during his
visit in Philadelphia.
Mr: Lincoln, having heard the officer's state
ment, informed him that he had promised to raise
the American flag on Independent's Hall on the
next morning—the morning of the anniversary of
Washington s birthday—and - that he.had aticepted
the invitation of the Pennsylvania Legislature to
be publicly received by that body in the afternoon
of the Dame day " Roth of these engagements,"
said be, with emphasis, will keep, if it costs
me my life. If, however, after I have concluded
these engagements; you can take - me in safety to
Washington, I will plate myself at your disposal,
and authorize you to make such arrangements as
you may deem proper for that purpose.
On the next day, in the morning, Mr. Lincoln
performed tbeneremony of raising • the American
flag on Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, tic
eordiug- to his promise, and arrived at Harrisburg
on the afternoon of the same day, where be was
formally welcomed by the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture. After the reception, he retired to his hotel,
the Jones Home, and withdrew with a few confi
dential friends to a private apartment. Here he
remained until nearly six o'clock in the evening,
when, in company with Colonel Lune, he quietly
entered a carriage without observation and was
driven to tee Pennsylvania Railroa4...where a
special train for Philadelphia was waiting fel! Uzi.
Simultaneously, with his departure from-Harri s- burg, this telegraph wires were out, Co-that hie de:
partner, - if it should•become knewn, might - not be
oommunioated at a distance.' •
The speoial train arrived in Philadelphia at 'a
quarter before_ eleven o'clock at night. Here be
was met by the deteetive, who had a carriage 18
readineminto which the party entered, anti were
driven to the depot of the Philadelphia, Wilming
ton, and Baltimere Railroad. •
They ditif not _reach the depot until a' quarter
past eleven ; but, fortunately for them, the regu
lar train, the hour of which, for starling, was
eleven, had been delayed. The party then took
berths ii the sleeping-ear, and, without change of
oars, passed —d treetly through to Washington, where
they arrived lit the usual hour; half pest six, on
the morning of Saturday, the 231: Mr. Lincoln
wore no disguise whatever, but
, journeyed.in an
ordinary travelling-dress. '
ei+ _hinva. ..that—nrifir_to Mr.
Senator Seward, in Washington, bad been ap
prised, from independent sources, that imminent
danger threatened Mr. Lincoln in case he should
publicly pass through Baltimore, and, accordingly,
a special messenger, Mr- Frederick W. Seward; a
son of Senator Seward, was despatched to Phila
delphia, to urge Mr. 'Lincoln to come direct to
Washington, in a quiet manner: The messenger
arrived in .Philidelphis late on Thursday night,
and had an interview with the Presidentaleet,
immediately subsequent to his interview with the
detective. Ile was informed that. Mr. Lincoln
would arrive by the early train on Saturday morn.
ing, and, in accordance with this information, Mr.
Washburn,' member of Congress from Illinois,
awaited the President elect, at the depot in Wash
ington, whence he was taken in a carriage to hls
quarters, in Willard's Hotel, where Senator Se
ward :stood ready to receive him.
The detective travelled with Mr. Lincoln under
the name of E. J. Allen, which name was regis
tered with the President elect's on the bcok at
Willard's Hotel. Being a well-known individual,
he was speedily recognised, and suspicion natu
rally arose that be bad been instrumental in ex
posing the plot which caused Mr. Linoolnas hur
ried journey. It was deemed prudent that he
should leave Washington two days after his arri
val, although be had intended to remain and wit
ness the ceremonies of Inauguration.
The friends of Mr. Lincoln do not question the
loyalty and hospitality of the people of Maryland,
but they Were aware that a few disaffected Oiti•
wens who sympathized warmly with the Secession
ists, were determined to frustrate, at all hazards,
the Inauguration of the President elect, even at
the cost of his life - • •
The characters and pursuits of the conspirators
were various. Some of them were impelled by a
fanatical zeal which they termed patriotism, and
they justified their acts by the example of Brutus,
in ridding his country of a tyrant. One of them
was accustomed to recite passages put into the
month of- the character of. Brutes in Shakspearell
play of &dine Caesar Others were stimulated by
the offer of ptouniary reward. These, it was
observed, staid away from their usual plaoes of
work for several weeks prior to the intended as
sault. Although their• circumstances bad previ
ously rendered them dependent on their daily la
bor for support, they were during this time abun
dantly supplied with money, which they, squander
ed in bar-rooms and disreputable places.
After' the discovery of the !slot, a strict watch
was kept by the= agents of detection over the
Movements of the conspirators, and efficient mea
surer were adopted to guard against any attack
which they might meditate upon the President
elect until he was installed in office.
Mr. Lincoln's family left Harrisburg for Balti
more, on their way to Washington, in the special
train intended for him. And au, bOforectarting, a
menage announcing Mr, Lincoln's departure and
arrival at Washington had been telegraphed to
Baltimore over the wires, which had been repaired
that morning, the passage through Baltimore was
safely effected.
The remark of Mr4Lincoln, during the ceremony
of raising the Bag on Independence Hall, on Fri
day morning, that he would assert his principles
on hia inauguration, although he were to be assas
sinated on the spot, had evident referenoo to the
communication made to him by the detective on
•the night preceding.: • •
The names of the conspirators will not at pre
sent be divulged. But they are in possession of
responsible parties t inoluding the President.
• The number originally ascertained to be banded
.together for the assassination of Mr. Idncoln was
twenty, butthe number of those who were fully
apprised of the details of the plot became daily '
smaller as the time for executing it drew near.
Some of the , women employed by the detective
went to serve as waiters, seamstresses, he., is the
families of the conspirators and • a record was
regularly kept of what was said and done to further
their enterprise. A record was also kept by the
defective of their deliberations in secret conclave,
but, for mattioient reasons, it is withheld for the
present from publication. The detective and his
agents regularly contributed money to pay the ex
, penny of the conspiracy.

Suspicions Case of Poisoning.
A auspicious circumstance, which may turn out
to be foul play—murder founded upon jealousy, or
suicide from the same cause—bas just come to light
in Lowell. About a week agu, a Mrs. Wilkins
died in Lowell, quite !suddenly. Two or three
days ago, Dr. Jewett, a coroner in Lowell, was in
duced to exhume the body, and consented to do so,
as the oireumatances of the woman's death:were
eonsidered suspicious by some, just to demonstrate,
in his official position, that everything was right
and proper and as it should be. Dr. Jewett took
the stomach from the body and brought it to Bos

The Expedition to the South.
[From the New York Times I
The Baltic and Illinois did not go to sea, as an
nounced, on Monday night. Both of them lay at
anchor until Tuesday morning, the Illinois at
Quarantine, and the Baltic at the Southwest Spit.
Both eteamere crossed the bar, nearly together,
ataint Seven n'eleek, on Tuesday morning, and at
half past seven they discharged their pilots and
continued on 'their voyage southward. Being very
deep,:the Baltic, although a fast sailer, oaishardly
be .expected to make more than ordinary speed.
The Illinois was loaded'to a draft of twenty'and a
half feet aft, but, with her improved feathering
paddles, although they were submerged ten feet,
she is reported to have gone off with unusual cele
rity, her wheels making fourteen and a half turns
'per minute, with only sixteen pounds of steam.
Allowing sixty hours for tbem.to reach Charleston
—providing. Charleston is their destination—these
steamers will not arrive off - the bar until Seven
o'olook this (Thursday) evening. Making the ne
cessary allowance for night time, during whiok
little could be done towards the arrangements for
entering the harbor, it will be no'a to-morrow
(Friday) before any movement can be made:
The steainer Uncle Ben, which was compelled
to return, after proceeding as far as Barnegat on
account of a damaged pump, - started again on-Tues
day evening, being only some twelve hours behind
the other steamers. •
The Atlantic, which went to sea in company with
the Powliata% on ifiuuday night, if bound to
Charleston, probably arrived thither yesterday
morning, and must have been magnified by the ex
cited optics of the. Carolinians into the ,‘ six steam
ers" reported as being off the bar.

The Hama Lane probably convoyed the Baitic

himself for duty there. Singularly enough, he ar

of the Balgie, and left next day. How, and where
he went immediately. here are mYiterious.
