A mos interesting experiment was tv. ulc a few d.'ysago: that of introducing a cannula into the ventricles of the biain of a child of two years old. that died the day be lor-; of water in the head, the con sc(juenc.- of acute infljinmation of the brain, afui a fortnights illness, and upon whose case theehnd been a great deal of discussion about performing this operation in life, .t the fithets if.ct:est', J alter every ether means' had been pronounced hoprl-ss but to which, with the exception of Mr. Lizars, and two of the younger members of the profession, seme of the most eminent medical men in the place could not be prevailed upon to accede, nor even to give it the sanction of their presence. After the operation, which was pet formed with great dexterity by Mr. Lizzars, and after the examination of the brain, which was found perfectly sound, the father observed in the presence of Dr Barcby, and several other medical men, that he has no doubt the time would come when this operation, in desperate eases of water in the head, would be as common as cutting for the vtoric is now; to which Dr Bat clay not only absented, but added, "and much more simple." The father has therefore resolved immediately to open the Dispensary advertised in this paper, for the express purpose of putting this practice to the test, whether the public may think proper to give any assistance towards such at) attempt or not, and he has come to this determination vvi'hout casting the slightest reflection upon the medical men above alluded to. in whom he places the highest confidence, and he is too well acquainted with medicine himself not to know that their opinions arc founded upthc doctrin of the schools as at present taught: but the evidence before him has produced a conviction that these, like many other doctrines, will be proved to be erroneous. Edinburgh pcfier. THE CREEK TREATY. The accounts fiom Georgia are so mingled with the local politics of the contest between Troup and C'ark, for the Governor's chair, that it is difficult to extract from them the real state of the affair, as relates to the treaty. It appear

however, that there arc 16 chiefs intha Creek nation--that the assent of a majority of them is necessary to bind the nation to the act done that the late treaty was signed by M'Intosh and two other chiefs only, and that M'Intosh, aware of the danger he incurred, fled to the Governor of Georgia, for protection against the people he had betrayed that Governor Troup sent out his aid with a War talk in defence of the tteaty-makcr that the aid returned and reported peace upon which, M'Intosh ventured home and was put to death by the chiefs that the Governor of Georgia has recommended an immediate surveying of the land, although, by M'Intosh's treaty, the Indians were to hold the country until 1826. These nrc the facts, as far as we can gather them horn the Georgia publications. Connected with them, we have heard a rumor, and believe it founded on fact, which goes to shew the deference paid by the Creeks to the correctness and justice of our distinguished citizen, Gen. Jackson. It is said, that the head chief of the Creek nation, at the will of the council, has written a letter to the General, detailing the circumstances of the negotiation of the treaty, to which the nation was no party, and submitting to his opintan what they ought to do "if tou," says the chief, 1 say we must go ws WILL GO BUT IF YOU DO NOT SAY W MUST GO THE SOLDIERS OF YOUR GOVEUNMF.XT CAN KILL US ON OUR LAND, 11 U T 1 II KIR BAYONETS CANNOT MOVE us."
