The Lif, and Labours of Sir Charles BeU, K.0.H., P.R.S.S. By AIM= PICHOT, M.D. Bentley. A French physician of much literary as well as professional repute, who enjoyed a slight personal acquaintance with Sir Charles Bell, and who beheld with sympathy and respect the great physiolo's admirable career, has here paid a graceful tribate to the memory of our distinguished oountrymaa. Dr. Pichot has supplied us with a concise re cord of the experience and achievements of one whose virtues as a man, as well as his pldlo oophic genius, were such that the world may not wil lin gly let the remembrance of them die. The discovery of the functions of the nervous system, announced in 1821 by Sir Charles Bell, is rearded as only comparable , scientific value, value, to Harvey's discovery of the circulation el , the blood. The lapse of two centuries, indeed, separated the epochs of these great physiological revelations, for which mankind is indebted to British explorers of nature ; and the frankness with which this competent French critic and biographer congratulates England and Scotland upon the honour of having produced men of such unequalled fame and excellence in the important sciences of animal organisation, is honourable to .hiim-- rit. it is , gicessiblis trei%re of gar Charles Bell's mind +reel character, which is here presented, is a very inte resting one, showing the affectionate and amiable relations of his private life, his generosity, mo dality, and devotedness, and even the excessive sensibility which pained him at the sight of sinned suffering, down to the latest period of his profes sional experience, though by force of resolute self control he was able to continue operating for many days amongst the wounded at Waterloo. These qualities, his refined susceptibility to the pleasures of taste and imagination, and his adoring recog nition of the Divine power and wisdom in all crested things, are exemplified by many remarkable extracts from his correspondence, or notes of his conversation. Not only therefore to those who are beat acquainted with the great results of his researches, but also to the general reader, this memoir will prove acceptable. The Japanese Empire : Its Physical, Political, and Social Condition and History ; with details of the late American and British Erpeditions. By . B. B. Kamm. Partridge and Co. Japan is a topic of the day, and this little volume has been prepared to catch the breeze of popular interest which blows in that direction. It is anec dotal and entertaining enough ; the whimsicalities of custom and social condition ascribed to that re- I mote and curious people, of whom so little has yet really been known, supplied a favourite theme to the humorous imagination of our cleverest satirists in the last century; Dean Swift established a ministry of state fiddlers at Jeddo, and Sznollett selected the Japanese realm for the scene of his " Adventures of an Atom." The compiler of this "condensed, portable, and cheap handbook of the people a n d country of Japan ' has relied pretty much upon the Dutch informants, not only Von Siebold, who is comparatively recent, but old Kiimpfer, with his picturesque circumstantiality of description ; and whilst it would be rash to affirm that this account includes nothing apocryphal, it would be easy to find in its details abundant matter of amusement. Without caring to inquire into the veracity of those ancient stories about the Japanese of a former age, which Mr. Kemish has very simply reproduced, we might however correct his statements in some particulars concerning the English and their transactions with Japan at the present day. He tells a story about Mrs. .Allcock, wife of the well-known Consul- General, landing at Sinagawa on a specified day, when by displaying " her crinoline spread out, and gaily trimmed bonnet," she excited the troublesome attentions of the crowd, which this " first Euro ti lady in Jeddo" is said to hav e pu n i s h e d " bygi ving them a pretty heavy blow over their heads with her parasol" But Mr. Kemish, who has gallantly devoted the earliest and most elaborate of his pages to the attractive subject of the Japanese ladies, their millinery, manners, marriages, ts quite mis taken in this supposed adventure of a country woman of his own, who never existed at all. There is no Mrs. Allcock, and no lady belonging to the family of our respected Consul-General 'has en countered that disagreeable experience. much better, but the water is opaque and unnatu rally; agitated. " The Ambush, a scene on n -Moors, Yorkshire " (17), by Mr. Nieman, is ' and effective, but, like all this artist's works, w' not bear examination. The incidence of the re k fleeted light on the rocks is in nearly every cue in koorrect. Mr. Pyne likewise is a painter who does not reverentially learn his art from nature, but rather brings his art to her and would fain force her into chains. There are many impossible effects and much incompatible gay . colouring in "Wrecks 'and Wreckers off Beaumans" (74). The " Sunset" (174), by Mr. J. P. Pettitt, is deep and rich in colour, and a surprisingly successful, realisation of a very transient effect. The dusky golden rays shot through the sombre foliage, &irking the clouds and barring the green sward, are very truthful and poetical. Mr. A. Gilbert pos sums a speciality for similar effects, as in the long level sun ray, athwart the emote of the hills in " Evening in North Wales" (601). Mr. West has, it appears, again revisited his favourite Norway, and lias been equally successful as heretofore in depicting the wonders of that comparatively unex country. In No. 564, " Near Vs/menden, t i O r ity," we have one of the thousand foaming tor rents which force their headlong way down from the rat central chain of Norwegian mountains. In ... MO Alli. Fri azgatt ak eire.• at the fieet We, Norway. Mr. is very truthful and effective in a limited range. That is to say, his drawing, for instance in No. 284, of the receding banks of a river, its water plants, and redlectiam, is correct, but his palette embraces only two or three tints of light grey and cold dark green, and his colouring generally is hard, erode, and too much like the old school of water colours. Mr. Tennant, in "The Windings of the Csk, from Dasy-park " (190), has lighted upon one tithe most magnificent amphitheatral views an artist could possibly select. A little more warmth would have made this picture scarcely inferior to any in the collection. In " The Darren from the Ffwddog " (302), this artist has given a very daring effect a sunbeam breaking through rein-cloud. Much excellent painting in "The Mole, near Dorking" (47), by Mr. Percy, is in ilson see No. 246) and Mr. Shayer seem to ju i r i e l db s y too great hotness in the shadows. J. W I have sue in the general rejuvenescence of this sesiety. Mr. E. Boddington has a brilliant little gem in oil in the water-colour room. No. 688, Mr. Wainwright, is fresh and pleasant as usual. Mr. Mogford deserves a better place for 201. We I ate glad to welcome Mr. Banks as a promising landscape painter. Lastly, Mr. A. W. Hunt is becoming hopelessly pre-Raphaelite. Mr. G. Cole more than ever sustains his repu tation as an animal painter in Nos. 36, 423, 154, and 203 ; but we mum the admirable Cuyp-like landscapes which generally accompanied former works. However, the tone of some, especially the smeller of these interiors, is so deep, rich, and transparent, and so near that of the beet Dutch marten, that we cannot permit ourselves anything like fault-finding. In all these pictures there are good drawing and foreshortening, knowledge of &Mimi character, and a dexterous handling and whisk of the brush very descriptive of the woolly and hairy coats of sheep and cows. Among the painters of still-life Mr. Duffield, with his "Fruit, &c." (349), is pre-eminent. There is, however, some marvellous microscopic painting in No. 54, by Mr. Ward. In the water-colour room, in addition to the figure subjects mentioned in our first notice, the following drawings deserve attention, via :—" Mount's-bay Norman fishing village" (807), and "St. Michael's Blount" (809), by Mr. G. Wolfe; " St. George's Windsor," by Mr. Bayliss ; " Bude," by 4 51 11 : 11e hittaker ; "The south end to Rouen Cathe dral," by Mr. E. S. Cole ; and the works of Messrs. J. B. Smith, Leitch, and Pearson. FINE ART& EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS. (mom) AXD CONCLUDING (OTICIL) The present exhibition of the Society of British Artists, Suffolk-street, being so much above the average, we could only find space in our former notice for reviewing the figure subjects. The land scapes are so numerous, and in many oases so me ritorious, that they have been reserved for treat ment in a separate article. It is with pleasure we note the continued improvement of Mr. Vicat Cole. This artist has devoted himself to the study of the fami liar beauties of our Surrey hills, and none but • loving student could have succeeded in representing their distinguishing features so ed tnirably as this gentleman has done m his " Harvest Time, painted at Ilolmbury Hill, Surrey" (106). This panoramic view includes the highest eminence of the range of hills diversified by golden corn fields in the foreground—with their tender, velvety, undulating surfaces and purplish compl e me n t ar y shadows — by wooded slopes in alternate diaper of sun and shade, by level pasturage broken by hedge row and water, and by distant reaches of hill and down, till the eye loses their soft ou tli nes i n t h e far-off horizon. It is such lovely scenery as this which has gained for English landscape its distinc tive character, and by the study of which English landscape painters have acquired their unrivalled reputation. Where can such verdure as this be seen, or such an epitome of all that is requi site to form the most pleasing varieties of the pic turesque 1 We could dwell on a thousand beau ties in this picture, but we must content ourselves by expressing unqualified admiration of its rich and most beautiful colouring. Little less inipor taut than this picture is the "Spring Time" (16) by the same artist. The wild flowers, plants, and grasses in the foreground are exquisitely painted, yet with none of the hardness of dull chuckling labour. Mr. flyer, also, has surpassed hie former efforts this year. " Tantallon Castle" (Si), with its ruinous walls and bluff promontory, its rock and wreck-strewn botch, and its accom paniments of stormy sky and angry sea, has a kind of poetical and epical completeness. The execution throughout is excellent. The dash and animation in such a scene as this is, however, rather misplaced in No. 476—" On the Lleder, North Wales." The glitter and sparkle are too uniformly distributed. There is a too evident straining for effect. Though the parts taken separately are truthful, there Li a want of breadth, repose, gene ralisation, and central interest. Mr. H. J. Boddington has a very fresh and sunny little view, " In Betchworth Park, Surrey" (23) ; the felled timber and other accidental accessories make up a pleasing composition. It is surprising that the painter of such a nturpult as this should perpetrate such a large, comparatively uninteresting, monotonous painting as No. 145—" On the Hills, North Wales." The locality not being definitely given awakens the suspicion that the work has been painted in the artist's studio merely from re collection. Mr. A. Clint also, as usual, gives several coast scenes and sunsets, which have very little reference to nature, nor are they redeemed, as in the case of Turner, by imaginative power or chromatic beauty. The stormy scenes on the Devon shire coast (Nos. 261 and 616), by this artist, an VICTORIA GROW GALLERY. This gallery, on the ground floor of the Egyptian Hall, is again opened, with an increased number of pictures, by Mr. Downes, illustrating the sets of ecloar which hare won the Victoria Cross. We are glad to find that the ex. collent idea of funning this pllay hae been appreciated by the public, and that the *pint' and enterprise of the artist have snot with assayed success. Encouraged by the sue. ems of the exhibition of lost year, Mr. Damages has in creased his collection by the addition of a number of per traits, and one large picture and soreral smaller performed during the Indian mutiny are commemorated. There is also a striking representation of • night reconnaissance at Clenitchi. The collection now numbers about 40 pictures, several of them containing figures the size of life, and laying in their excellent composition verisimilitude, and dv iigonros execution, the essentials of historical painting. The smaller works are equally remarkable for boldness of conception, clear arrangement, and definite realisation of the most transient actions. Mr. Deranges' plan has been such that he could hardly fail to give exactly those limited and individual incidents in war which are best suited for pictorial porpoise He has not attempted to paint " battle-pieees," stokes those empty and uninteresting performances which disfigure the walls of Versailles. He has confined himself to those stir ring episodes of well-attested bravery which are our con temporary pride and glory. For the representation of these accurate information m available. The very men who have received the Victoria Cross have sat to the artist and de scribed the scenes in which they were engaged, and details which their modesty has omitted have been supplied by their comrades. In this manner the Riordan war and the Indian mutiny are biographically and compendiously nar rated. Such a brilliant and varied pictorial chronicle is mast remarkable as the production of single-handed effort sad perseverance, and deserves to become public property, as • national memento. . _ On Saturday the gallery was honoured by a visit from his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. HOW TORTUNES ARE SOMETIMES MADE. It often happens that an individual or a firm is supposed to be rich from the fact that they possess the con fidence of their fellow man, by which they trade and in due time amen wealth. As an illustration of this, we may state the following circumstance which came under the writer's observation. A young Englishman landed in America with just sufficient means to meet his Inunediate necessities : his Sat object was to obtain employment, the remuneration fur which enabled him to lay by about 300 dollars. With this capital he started in business for himself, and commenced trading in each commodities as he could turn to a profit readily ; lie progressed slowly, but earned more than he expended on his living. In the town he had chosen for his adventure he was a perfect stranger, but in course of time was recognised as a man always punctual in his business transactions ; his resources were never questioned, simply because he never made an empgement but what he felt cer tain he should be able to keep. By this course he soon gained the first element of prosperity--oonfidence. One day he was attending the usual trade sales, when he met with what his judgment suggested as an eligible opportu nity for investing the whole of his capital, and he would readily have done so, but as the purchase required consider ably more than be possessed, he reluctantly abandoned the opportunity, as it had become his maxim to let no one know the extent of his resources, and wishing to avoid heavy speculations, bearing in mind the proverb, that " trawls large may venture more, But little boats must keep near shore." However, in the coarse of the day, • Yankee, with whom he had before never had any communication, accosted him with, " Wid, Britisher, I calkilate that worn't • bad fixing you were looking at this morning? " Perhaps not," re spaded our friend. " Wal, I gues if you could ris a thou sand dollars or so, you would have done it sliek, eh " " Per. trl might." " Then just give me your bill at a month, you shall have them." Our friend was rather taken shank by this liberal offer, which was essentially made upon his credit, and without security. lie eventually ava iled himself of it, made the venture, by which before the expi rat,pn of a month he more than trebled his capital. Though be frequently met his stranger friend, not • word passed as to the success of the investment, till • few days before the bill became due, it was repaid, when the liberal Yankee merely observed, " Wal, Britisher, whenever you want • thousand dollars, or more, you can have them of me.' This was the only occasion on which our friend ever bor rowed money • he had obtained con fi dence, which had secured him dedif, by which, combined with industry, he amassed • considerable fortune."—From an article on " Whil is Wealth? in LilwalCa Mercantile Circular.

SOCIETY OP ARTS. The annual exhibition of patented inventions under the auspices of the Society of Arts will be thrown open to the public on Monday next, and coexisting as it does of upwards of 400 models, inventions, and drawings, connected with almost every breach of mechanical science, and developing more than one novel principle, it will, no doubt, be of great attraction and utility to the public. The private view took place yesterday evening, and the model room was well filled with inventors and their friends, together with the privileged few who had this early opportunity of inspecting the wonders of the modern lepute afforded them. There wen the noise of many wheels in full rotation, the click of all sort. of eccentric movements, the rush of WSW' through every variety of pump, specimens, raw material, manufactured articles, in short, all things upon which re gains inventors had staked their hopes and fortunes, but many of them unhappily doomed to oblivion so soon as they have for a few weeks gratified the curiosity of the public. There are, nevertheless, • few inventions exhibited WE year, which will, no doubt, justify the approval of the society, and ultimately become of useful and general appli. cation. Amongst these some new trick/ of the young giant, photography, deserve a foremost place. Mews. Joubert and Wyard have found • way of fixing photo latliss, not tegitlvelp4l4 - 1111 begffabbirlw era thew waking the sae a restorer of at least efts of the lost arta of medieval times. One or .two pictures fixed in this way were exhibited, and excited general interest ; bat the prose by which the wonder is effected was not made known to the visitors. The principle applies also to the opaque ceramic material, and several porcelain tiles were shown, into which elaborate designs had been imperishably imprinted solely by the action of the sun. Next in novelty to thia extraor dinary application of photography is the new use that has been found for indiarabber--once only used to obliterate pencil marks—in electron-block printing. The object is to find a rapid and inexpensive means of producing an enlarged or reduced copy of airy engraving, wood block, or litho graphic drawing, and this is done by taking a transfer ire premien on a sheet of indiarubber, previously prepared in the same way as transfer paper, but with • substance equally elastic as the indiarubber itself. This is then put into an ingeniously contrived frame, graduated to tenths of inches, and mathematically stretched to the exact size required. When the object is redaction, • sheet of indiarubber of the size required is prepared and stretched in the frame to the dimensions of the engraving, and when the impression has been taken the indiarubber is gradually restored to its original size by the reverse action of the screw. We must say that we were much struck with the originality and usefulness of this invention, by which all the time and five-sixths of the expense now sunk in obtaining copies of maps and engravings would be avoided. In the present prominent position of the paper question, when rags we disputing with rich brocade the foremost place amongst textile values, Mr. Collyer's method of pre paring straw for the paper mill will no doubt excite • great deal of curiosity. Mr. Collyer takes common wheaten or other draw, and, placing it in successive layers in a frame prepared for the purpose, subjects it at the same moment to an alkaline shower from the top arid • jet of super-heated steam from the bottom. The result of the combined action of these two powerful agents is that the straw is subjected to • boiling heat almost as intense as the fusing heat of the blow-pipe, and the fibre being completely cleansed of ell silica and gluten, is in an inconceivably short space of time prepared for the mill. The in ventor claims for his process inexhaustible supply of material, rapid and complete transmutation of the fibre, and an immense saving in the cost of manufacture. Should he be as successful as he is sanguine in all these points, the intentions of the Emperor of the French with respect to the export duty on rags will become a matter of very secondary importance. Justus Liebig calls the process " a beautiful discovery," and Mr. Cowan and one or two other eminent paper makers, have also, we were informed, expressed their belied in its practical utility. The cotton gin of Mr. Dunlop derives much importance from the fact that it hes already been adopted by the Manchester Cotton Supply Association, immense numbers of the " gins" having bean sent to India, and sold to the natives at 31. each, the prise being paid in clean cotton. It is simple and portable, will clean five pounds of cotton in the hour, and can easily be worked by one man. Another great advantage is, it does not crush the seed, so that the cotton conies out en' tirely free from oil. The destructive arts ere not very largely represented within the peaceful walls of the institution this year, but our attention was called to • new breech loading rifle, patented by Means. M'Kenzie and Wentworth. The principle is a breech chamber which can be tilted up by means of a spring, which is placed in the stock to receive the charge, and can then be loaded with the ordinary service ammunition. It is then driven home after the manner of the " slut " in the Armstrong gun, and is ready for firing. The great advantage claimed is the avoidance of the trouble of muzzle loading, and the inventors tricorn. mend it strenuously to the rifle volunteers. Experience will of course be the only test of whether that air-tightness be secured which is the great desideratum in breech loading guns. In the naval department Mr. Homersham exhibits "a floating gridiron" for ships, to keep them upright when rising in floating docks. Mr. George Glen Brown exhibits • binnacle which develops • new and beautiful applies. tion of the great principle of gravity to a purpose of great practical utility, and Messrs. Wood and Rogers show a model of • boat-lowering apparatus. We have only left our selves space to call attention to Mr. Wood's morning ma chine, sod • novel apparatus for torsion, which may possibly permit of the long rope-walk being dispensed with ; and, in the military department, to Major Rhodes' improvement of the toile d'abri, in which, by substituting the semicircular for the angular form, and closing it at one end, he provides the soldier with a tent hardly any heavier to carry, and much more comfortable end complete, than that which is in general use in the French army. We do not profess to have done more in the foregoing notice than to glance at the more prominent objects in the exhibition, which is full el novelties, and will usefully employ more than one day's sight-seeking. Great credit is due to the Society of Arts for collecting such an exhibition, and to its officers for its skilful arrangement and the lucid catalogue in which it. contents are described. MADAME TISBBAUD'o. —Au addition has been made to this interesting exhibition in a figure of William Rufus, which now occupies • conspicuous place in the department devoted to royalty. In modelling this figure the artist has bad the assistance and advice of a celebrated antiquary, who fills the post of one of the Heralds of England. Glows WASHINOTOIC—At a sale of autograph letten by Mara Puttick and Simpson, of 47, Leicester square, on Thursday lest, • letter of George Washington, the President el the United States, written when a subaltern in the service of the colonial government to the Governor of V•ugmu, sold for 151. 10s.

The following rewards were granted : 13/. to th e crew of the institution s lifeboat stationed at Palling, on the Norfolk coast, for putting off in the night, and rescuing the crew of seven men from the brig Elm, of North Shields, which, during a heavy sea, had missed stays, and was totally wrecked off Palling on the 16th nit. 61. 10s. to the crew of the Winterton lifeboat, on the same coast, be kagua g t o th e society, for going o ff in her and nevi the crew of eight m en from the brig George and James, of Londw , which, during a fearful gale of wind, had stranded off Winterton. IT/. to the crew of the Portmadoc lifeboat, belonging to the institutioo, which had been instrumental, at Sunday morn ing last, in saving fifteen persons, in a most exhausted state, from the barque Oberon, of Liver, which, during a heavy ode of wind, went on the Barn at&ig Cant , Bay. 181. to the crew of the Yarmouth lifebo a t , which longs to this institution, for putting off and resetting, in conjunction with a mismou-tug, the crew of six men from the brig Zephyr, of Mithllesiorough, which was totally wrecked a few weeks ago, during a fearful plc of wind, on the Scroby Sands. It will thus be seen that some of the lifeboats of the institu tion have, even within the pest few weeks, been the means of snatching thirty-nine of our fellow-creatures from a watery grave. The " Wreck Chart of the British Isles' states that 1,416 wrecks took place lad year on the seas and marts of the United Kingdom, and that 1,601 perm* unhappily perished from them. It is therefore evident that muck still remains to be done in maintaining and extending the lifeboat system of the society, which reflects an honour on the philanthropy of the age, and which excites the ad miration of all the maritime nations of the world. In addition to the above, paymenta were also made to the crews of the lifeboats of the institution stationed at Teign. mouth, Padstow, and Ayr (on the west coast of Scotland), for putting off to vessels in distress and for assembling, so so to be ready to go off if their services should have been required. A reward of St was voted to the crews of two open boats for putting off and saving, at great risk of life, the crew of four men from the schooner Hope, of Gloucester, which during a heavy gale of wind and snow storm was wrecked a short time since on the coast of Donegal, Ireland. The silver medal of the institution was also presented to Captain Ridge, R.N., in testimony of his gallant conduct in wading into the surf on • cold wintry day at the risk of his life, and rescuing one man, who had been capsized from his boat in attempting to save the crew of the Austrian brig Tilmy, which had been wrecked in Dundriun Bay. A benevolent lady Mid o ff ered the institution to defray the cost of an additional lifeboat in that dangerous lo cality. She had also promised to pay the cost of the New Quay and the St. Ives (Cornwall) lifeboats, and another to be stationed at Buckie, on the north coast of Scotland. Some additional liberal contributions were said to have been made to the institution Itl i wyd's, by the Junior United Service Club, sod by the Thames Yacht Club. Communications were from the Ambassador at this court and the Minister of Marine of Denmark and Sweden, expressing the appreciation of their government of the philanthropic objects of the British National Lifeboat In stitution, and stating that its useful and practical pamphlet on the management of boats in a heavy surf had been, by order of the King, translated into Swedish. It was said that this little book had been translated into French, Spanish, and Swedish, and that it was not improbable it would be rendered into the languages of all the maritime countries of the world. It was reported that the Admiralty were taking some steps to !provide her Majesty's ships with lifeboats. It is remarkable that hitherto our men of war have been un furnished with lifeboats. The National Lifeboat Institu tion through its little quarterly publication had for years past advocated their adoption as well as the supplying of our intrepid coastguard men with lifeboats. An interesting report was read by Captain Ward, RN., Inspector of Lifeboats to the institution, of his recent tour of inspection of the nineteen lifeboats which the society has on the Irish omit. These visits of a thoroughly practical officer to lifeboat stations are of great service in securing the permanent efficiency of the establishments. It is his cus tom to take the li , eboats out tone himself, howeverstormy the weather may be, and thus practically to explain to their hardy crews their qualities, and how they are to act in cases of emergency. The institution decided on taking, in connexion with it, the Margate lifeboat, and to make the station thoroughly dioient. The boat was presented some time ago to the twee by Miss Burdett Colitis. A small legacy to the insti tution was ►nnounced from the late Mrs. Anna Braithwaite, of Kendall. 15;ptam N. de St. Croix having been elected • member of the committee of management, and payments amounting to having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the proceedings closed. NEW ARMY MEDICAL SCHOOL. (From the Medical Times.) The senate of thin school met for the first time on Saturday last, at the War-offioe, Pali mall, and was formally constituted by the Secretary of State for War, under whose administration the school has a distinct and independent existence. The government of the school is vested he ite senate, which will hold its meetings for the dispatch of business at least once a month, or oftener if . At this meeting there were present : The Right Hon. ey Herbert, Secretary of State for War, and the following men hereof senate, namely :—lames Brown Gibson, Esq., M.D., C. 8., Director-General of the Army Medical Department, and President of the Senate ; J. R. Martin, Heq., Examiniag Physician to the Seen." of State for India in Council; John Robert Tayke, Esq., C. 8., Inspector-General of Hospitals and Princireil Medical Officer at Fort Pitt, Chatham; Charles Morehead, Faq., N.D., Professor of MliMary Medicine and of Clinical Medicine ; Thomas Longmore, Fiq Deputy-Inspector-General of Hos pitals, and Professor of Military Surgery and of Clinical Surgery; Edmund A. Parkes, Faq., M.D., Profaner of Hygiene; William Aitken, Faq.,M.D. , Professor of Pathology. To them gentlemen are entrusted the regulation of the busi ness of the school; but no act of the senate is binding till it has received the approval of the Secretary of State for War. We are glad to see, from the organisation of the school, that its functions do not supersede, nor in any way take the place of, the instruction given at the medical colleges and schools of the country. The instruction to be given at the Army School is of a practical kind, and exclusively directed to the specialties of the military medical service. Tice invalid hospitals! Fort Pitt, the garrison and other military hospi tals at Chatham, afford a very large and important field of study for the young medical officer of the army. It is in tended that this field of medical observation shall be fully taken advantage of ; and the four professors already named have been appointed to direct and superintend the courses and methods of practical investigation which have been deemed the most essential for the requirements of the army medical service. The professional reputation of the gentlemen who have been appointed professors to the school is a sufficient guarantee fur the ability, energy, and skill with which the work of instruction will be directed ; and which at the same time leads us to entertain the hope that the beet result.* may be expected from the institution of this school. Dr. Morehead lure spent a long period of his life in Ind* and has been • most successful Clinical teacher in the Grant Medical College of Bombay.
