College, and persons of every denomina-tion, from the cabinet rninister down to aTreasury-clerk, -from the archbishop tothe curate, received invitations. The

apothecary " par excellence," the chemistand the druggist, "subordinates’’ and all,received cordial invitations to becomeactors in the scene. With a view to makethe contrast between the Fellows and thelicensed physicians on this occasion themore striking, it was contrived that thecards of invitation should be issued in thename of the President and Fellows, and thatthe Licentiates should thus be inviterl by theFellows to attend the meetings of their OK’MCollege. The insult had not the effect ofdriving away all the licentiates, though itwas sufficient to prevent the most respect-able amongst them from submitting tothe humiliation. This, however, was notenough by way of contrast, and the in-genious President therefore proposed that,to give additional lustre to the " higher Igrade" in the College, all the Fellows shouldappear attired in their collegiate robes.To this proposal Dr. WARREX contemptu-ously objected, observing, 11 that Sir HENRY,if he chose, might make a mountebank ojhimself, by wearing his robes, and he did not,care if Sir HENRY came to the College with Ia feather in his ——." ’

SiNCE the day on which the Council ofthe College of Surgeons admitted the Clia-riozg Cross Hospital, with its sixty beds, intothe list of " recognised hospital, it hasbeen a gradually increasing object of desirewith the managers of the King’s College, toconnect the College with that hospital, the

medical department of the College havingwhollv failed in its efforts to obtain remu-nerating " classes pf students, and at last, weunderstand, the urgency of the case has ledto the commencement of negotiations withthe medical officers of the hospital, but asyet the parties in the College have not

got beyond an assent to the demand ofMessrs. PETTIGREW and HowsH?p (whocarry their heads exceedingly high on theoccasion), that Mr. MAYO anddr. F. HAW-Kijsrs shall resign their professorships in fa-vourofmr. PETTIGREW and Dr. SnEARMAN.It is most probable, that, on finding them-selves out of employment, Messrs. MAYOand HAWKINS will retire to the ltfiddlesexSeliool, where, however, matters are in al-most as bad a condition as they are in theStrand. Yet, after their lats and not yetfinished correspondence, it is difficult to ima.gine how Messrs. MAYO and HAWKINS canact congenially together again in any school.

CORRESPONDENTS.

INSTEAD of publishing any one of severalletters which we have received relating tothe following subject, we beg to say that ageneral impression seems to be entertainedin the Mcdico-Chirurgical Society, that it is

contrary to good taste, good judgment, andthe spirit of his office, for the president ofthe meeting, whoever, for the time being, mayoccupy the chair, to address the assemblyon the subjects under discussion, so many astwelve times in one evening.We have mislaid the letter on Creosote in

the case of vomiting. Can the writer fur.nish us with a copy of it ?
