What a comfort it is to get out again--te see once more that rarity of rarities, a fine day ! We English people are accused of talking over much of the weather ; but the weather, this summer, has forced 'people to talk of it. Summer ! did I say? Oh ! season most unworthy of that sweet, sunny name! Season of coldness and cloudiness, of glom -and rain ! A worse November !—for in November the-days • are short ; and, shut up in a warm room, lighted by that household sun, a lamp, :one feels through the long evenings comfortably independent of the out-of-door tempests. But though we may have, and did have, fires all through the dog=days, there is no shutting out daylight ; and sixteen hours of rain, pattering against 'the •windows and drip ping from • the eves—sixteen hours- - • of rain, not merely audible but visible, for 'seven days in the week L—would be enough to ex haust the patience of Job, or of Grizzel ; es pecially if Job nere a farmer, and Grizzel a cduntry. gentlewoman. Never was known such a 'season ! ' Hay swimming, cattle drowning, fruit rotting, corn Sphiliut, ! and that haughty ricer, the Loddon, whe never can take P'uff's advice, and " keep between its banks," 'running about the country, fields,.. roads, -gardens, and !Muses; like madl The weather would be talked of. Indeed, it was not easy to talk of any thing else. A friend of mine hating occasion to write me a letter, thought it worth abusing in rhyme, and bepomnielled it 'through three pages of Bath- Guide verse ;.of which I subjoin a specimen Aquarius surely reigns, over the world, And of late he his water-pot strangely has twirled ; Or he's taken a cullender up by mistake, And unceasingly dips it in some mighty lake;, • Though it is not in.Letlie—for who can forget The annoyance of-getting most thoroughly wet ?

" If I value highly the influence of this great esta blishment, it is because I have been long engaged in teaching, and have experienced all the difficulties of forming a medical school. For obvious reasons London must continue to be the principal school of medicine; but whilst there are many favourable circumstances, there are also many unfavourable to regular study ; and it is now to be demonstrated that it is possible to retain that which is favourable, and to avoid the defects.• This day was published, in 3 vols. post Bvo. 11.

RAINBOW PHENOAIENA. The following appearances are so unusual i n t h e rainbow that they may • not be altogether unworthy of being recorded. About five as the sun was shi n i ng an d very low pro o'clock p. m. on Monday afternoo n , a smart shower of rain primary bow, ex t en din g very ' near; - c d a u m ee e d o a ny br w il h li i a c n h t , y to a complete semicircle. A faint secondary bow was also at the same time visible. At first it was evident, from the colours apparent on the ground, that the bew was scarcely 50 yards distant. As the rain, however, receded, so did the primary bow ; the secondary altogether disappearing. Presently the northern half • of the remaining one disap peared also ; and of the other half about two-thirds was partially covered and uncovered, several times in succession, by light nimbosy clouds, obviously flying between the bow and theobserver. At length the whole bow vanished, ex cept a.fragment of a few degrees high, in contact with the greuttl. Viewing the vivid brilliancy of this fragment, we were surprised to see it suddenly shoot up to near the top of the complete arch, and after remaining unsteadily for a few moments, again die away. This was repeated again and again for at least half a dozen times, presenting a series of flitting prismatic coruscations more Leaut;ful than can racily be conceived. STORNAWAY. • Arrived here last week in a 'very exhausted state, Captain Stenton, and four of the crew, of the ship Emerald, of St. John's, New Bruns wick, from the island of St. Kilda. Capt..Sten ton states, that having had a tedious passage across•the Atlantic, and St. Kilda being the first land that the.ship made, he was induced, from the mildness of the weather, to land, in expecta tion of procuring some fresh provisions and water. He' says that he had no sooner 'landed than it came on to blow, very fresh 'from the west ward ; and when a dense fog, which accompanied the gale, had subsided, - it was found that the ship had been blown off, and upon ascending the most elevated parts of the island, no trace of her could be seen in any direction. Capt. Sten ton remained a week on this remote island, daily looking' out for thele-appearance of his ship, and wherfilig saw that her :return became unlikely, he rescived ; upon the desperate attempt of quitting the island in the boat in which he had landed (which was only about twelve feet keel), and to steer for the Orkney Islands, whither he sup posed his ship had been driven. He accordingly left St. Kilda, from whose inhabitants he expe rienced all the hospitality and kindness their scanty circumstances could afford, and made for the eastward,. without either compass or sail, their provisions consisting only of two buckets of water, and a few cakes of coarse bread. They had rowed only about five leagues, when the sea, hitherto calm, became instantly ruffled, and a breeze sprung up, which in a few minutes termi nated in a most violent gale. Every successive wave seemed ready to ingulf them ; but they contrived to avoid the danger, by keeping the boat's head to the sea, and thereby rode it, with apparent safety. About twelve o'clock at night, however, she shipped a sea, which almost filled her. The buckets which had been used to contain their little stock of water were used to bale out the water, which was not without the greatest exertion effected. The fury of the storm still continuing, about three o'clock in the • morning' she shipped another sea, which nearly over whelmed her. A watery grave now seeming in evitable, struck horror into their appalled bosoms. The darkness of the night, their entire ignorance of the direction from which the wind blew, and the idea of drifting through the Western Ocean, supposing them to survive the storm, without one morsel whereon to subsist, and as little prospect of ,deliverance, preyed so much upon their minds, that they became abandoned to despair, and a considerable time elapsed ere a single effort was made to relieve the boat. It was cold, and rained hard, which added m uch to their sufferings, and rendered their condition truly pitiable and distressing. The boat was, however, again baled dry, and the morning approached their drooping spirits began to revive. The storm gradually di minished, and the rising of the sun enabled them to see that the wind blew between the northern and the westward, which would carry them to some 'part of the Long Island. They ac cordingly rowed in that direction,. and next day landed at Scarp, on the west side of the Lewis. Happy and thankful for having escaped the dan gers they had . thus so awfully and recently en countered, they remained there for the night, and next day proceeded in their boat to Stornaway, a distance of 30 miles, where, they arrived on Thursday last in an enfeebled state. Upon 'Captain Stenton's reaching Stornaway, he was informed of the safe arrival of his ship in the Orkneys, whither he immediately proceeded to join her. She is timber-laden, and bound from St. John's, New Brunswick, to Hull.—Glas gow Chronicle. Silt GEORGE Mir-L . -The Right Honour able Baronet has addressed a letter to 114 in reference to Mr. DAwsoN ; and nothing but the Reports of the Meetings— and which it was impossible to postpone, could prevent our insertion of it in the publication of this evening. It shall positively appear on Wednesday, and we call public atten tion to it.—Dublin Evening Mail. The trade in gin must be th e most flourishing of any , if w e ma y judge from the expensive manner in which the retailers of it, all over the town, are fitting up -thvir poison shops. • . . Mr. BYERS, one of the guardians of the public aga►nst the overloading of stage coaches, is at this time taking a professional tour through the West of England. A craggy rock adjoining . the Land's End, in Cornwall, has obtained the name of Dr. Johnson's Head, from the marked resemblance it bears to the physiognomy of our great moralist. On Saturday morning the house of Mr. Orrr.Fv, proprietor of the Burton ale-rooms, in Henrietta street, Covent-garden, was broken open, and a quantity of plate and wearin g apparel stolen. " In colleges, such as have been instituted in former ages, the professors enjoy the advantages of independence and seclusion, and are removed from the distraction of our busy world. It is otherwise in London. Here professional rtien are differently situated, and more activity is requisite, perhaps of a different kind, less contemplative or theoretical— more practical; and to maintain a distinguished place unceasing exertion is necessary. They are on an acclivity, or rather in a rushing stream, where they will be carried down if they do not endeavour to ascend. In the course of thirty years- I have seen the establishment of many schools attempted but it has always happened that the temptation of following a lucrative practice has far outweighed the desire of reputation to he gained' by teaching ; and, consequently, just when the professor became use ful by the knowledge he was capable of- communi cating, he has withdrawn himself : and so the situa tion of a medical teacher, instead of being the highest, and" entitling him who holds it to be con sulted in cases of difficulty,--=as' being of the seniors of his profession—one who has withstood petty so licitations, and has maturely studied as well as practised,--it is merely .looked upon as a situation introductory to .business—one of expectancy, and to be occupied in rapid succession by young and in experienced men. • Let us hope; that instead of this rapid succession, this University may be able to raise the professors of science to higher considera tion, hiduce men of talents to prepare themselves for teaching, and to continue their public labours to a later period of life. " With respect to our students, the defects of their mode of education are acknOwledged on all hands : they are at once engaged in medical studies, without adequate preparation of the mind--that is to say, without having acquired the habit of attenticfn to a course Of reasoning; nor are they acquainted with those sciences which are really necessary to pre pare them for comprehending the demerits of their own profession. But in this place this is probably the last time they will be unprepared, for example, for such subjects as we must touch on to-day. In future they will come here to apply the principles they have acquired in the other :lass rooms to a new and more useful science. " Another disadvantage -of the mode of conduct ing our medical schools has arisen from the too nu merous engagements of the heads of schools, and a want of the necessary division of labour. In conse quence of this, there is no one to take an interest in the student's welfare--to recommend regularity--to observe his character--to notice his moral or religi ous conduct. In short, there can be no condition more solitary and neglected than that of a young man, who has come to London to pursue his studies, until he form his own society. And thus, without a guide, he makes the first and most difficult step in life—that which may give a colour to all his fu ture objects. How different his condition here ! Instead of the unnoticed privacy of his chamber s where there is nothing to give him the hope of dis tinction through study, or to gild his prospects ; and how prone is genius to be distrustful of itself„and to add gloom to poverty and solitude—here, he is watched with solicitude, not by his Professors only, but by those able as willing to raise him to the dis tinction he shall deserve--men of extensive in fluence, who have given abundant proofs of their desire to display the fair rewards of virtue, to foster genius, and to open the prospects of the unfriended student.—(Cheers.) " Tb:•re is a character that attaches to our medi cal students which well deserves the consideration of all who desire their improvement. Besides the pleasure and the independence of mind which a young man finds resulting from habits of study, there is something peculiar in the character of the medical student. " His occupations lead him off from authority at an immature and'danverous time of life. The pur suit of experinkntal philosophy, and the history of those sciences to which he is now introduced, tend to give him a mean opinion of the efforts of indivi duals, and to beget a suspicion of any thing like authoritative language. His mind suddenly illumi nated, and feeling all the delights which arise from the contemplation of nature and the cultivation of science, if you love him and value his permanent good, touch with extreme delicacy upon his reli gious opinions. The man of classical accomplish ments only has lost his influenc e u p on hi m , an d he n ce arises a jealousy in many pious and learned men of the cultivators of philosophy. They And, they scarcely know how, that the youth have escaped from their control. To our students, books are no longer talismans and spells ; they have no respect for 'antiquity, and names have no authority with them. Taught to surrender their judgment to experiment only, can we be surprised that they re quire to be reasoned with, and to have the example before 'them of men highly informed in those de partments of knowledge, which they are in the habit of considering the test of intellectual eminence ? " In classical learning, that is, in the works of imagination, the ancients must have anticipated all the most natural and obvious allusions, and in sim plicity, force, and beauty, must surpass the moderns. But in:physical science.the course of discovery is progressive and expanding, and the facts discovered daily are more and more interesting and important. The consequence is naturally this—the student of the former are more amenable to authority : they look back on ancient times as being worthy of all admiration, whilst the student of the latter class is conscious that he knows a great deal more than the most ingenimE or 'inquisitive of those who lived a • hundred years before him, and considers • them , haiing lived in the childhood of the world.. " I do not speak of this condition of mind in our students Its an adiantage, but merely as a too natural consequence of their mode of education. As an ad vocate for that body of men with whom I have been so long connected, I ask, if we shall not find clergy men who, animated by a zeal for religion, will fit themselves to becOme guides to this important class, by acquiring another claim upon their attention, be sides the authority in which they are already clothed and who shall maintain their superiority by the ex tent of their scientific acquirements, being such as can be best appreciated by these young men. " If religious duties • have in the early part of life been taught with parental affection—if the volun tary labours of some of our professors - extend these lessons in a manner suited to the growing capacity of our students—if our students have a place of public worship, and jf on such occasions they ate under the eye of those by whom they have been, instructed cluing the week, there is in this respect incalculable improvement in their. condition. indifference " When the with which young men are apt to look on thiisubject shall have,given,lilace to experience and -Mature relleetipii—when they shall have learned the importance of right principles. and just modes of thinking, anti look back with gra titude to the examples they have had. in this place, - -then may the. University be said to be established ; for its establishment must ultimately depend on the character of those educated in it, and their influence on society. At present, whilst this beautiful edi fice is incomplete, and the labourS of the workmen are only suspended, and • clamour • is excited, it re quires some exertion of the mind to rid us of the influence of the present circumstances, and fully to anticipate and appreciate the advantages to be de rived from this College, and not from this College only but from others formed after its example, by the exertions of those who, although they may not have had the genius to conceive the plan, yet may have the virtue to imitate it.—(Great applause.) " There is only one more reflection which I shall venture to express--great advantage and satisfaction result from a combination of learned men, each active in his own sphere, whilst all combine for the greater object, and that one so laudable and inspiring as the improvement of science and literature (for I deem the right teaching of any department of science the surest way of improving it). But, however much men feel the advantage and necessity of such com binations, they seldom combine unless drawn to gether by the tie of some regular establishment. " One happy effect of this is, the uninterrupted progress of science ; for hitherto those who have taught in our schools, have had successors to their • places, without successors to their infor mation or their opinions. Too often, those who succeed, attempt to depreciate the labours of- their predecessors; but where the professors are united this cannot take place. The opinion and the modes of teaching are • appreciated and remembered when the individual is lost, anti the course of improvement rolls on unbroken from one age to another. In Universities a posthumous reputation supplies the interval after the loss' of a great man, till new men of authority arise. In the general body the excel lence, whatever it may be, is perpetuated,: because the society is permanent, and nor fluctuating with the students. • " This mutual aid, this common interest, these high objects, I trust, will unite usin the most friendly intercourse, and will be a lasting source of gratifica tion and advantge." Mt. BELL then proceeded with the first of the course of lectures which he proposes to deliver on the subject of physiology. lie began to explain the structure and functions of the blood-vessels in the human frame, in which he pointed out to his hearers the application of the laws of hydraulics to the cir culation of the blood. The period to 'which this first part of his labours was necessarily limited pre cluded him from entering at any length upon a sub ject %o 'extensive. Recommending to the attention of his pupils the facts which he had stated, he re minded them that there were other rules, peculiar to the science of human life, without an accurate know ledge of which any conclusions from the principles which he had laid down, merely by way of illustra tion, must be unsatisfactory, and might be dangerous. He therefore concluded with an intimation that he should in his next lecture resume the topic which he bad opened. At the conclusion of the lecture, the Warden, Mr. Horner, announced that the whole of the Uni versity was open to the inspection of the persons present. _ _ _ - A considerable part of the building is as yet un finished, but in a state rapidly approaching comple tion. .The Museum of Pharmacy, and the Materia Medica, is already very forward. The dried medi cal plants are arranged with great ingenuity and ex tremely convenient for the access of students. The Anatomical and Surgical Museum is in great for wardness. It contains some very rare and curious specimens prepared with great . skill and beauty, and is furnished with some part of a very large collec tion of drawings, made by Mr. Bell. Among the many judicious arrangements which have been made for the accommodation of pupils, is one which will obviate some of the objections that :have been raised against the institution. The lower part of the building has been fitted up as a refresh ment room, in which the students may be supplied at a very moderate rate with dinners, breakfasts, and other refreshments.

The audience yesterday was of the highest re spectability, and very numerous. A Reverend Divine, about the period of the late Doncaster Races, preaching to a congregation in which he knew there would be several sporting characters, chose for his text the following words :—" So run that ye may obtain ;" and in the course of his sermon stated that the " rules of the course were so clear and intelligible, that those who ran might read."—Morning Paper.' The terms offered to Miss SMITIION for Covent-garden Theatre were 20/. per night for twenty nights, and a benefit. They were declined ; but as they as PETER may justly be considered liberal, it is. probable that in de cliniHg accept them Miss SailTirsort was actuated by . a laudable desire of obtaining a few' more months' practice before she undergoes the ordeal of an English audience. She has left Paris for Bordeaux, and intends to make a six months' tour in the French provinces.

The sun has come to dry the world ; mud is turned into dust ; rivers have retreated to their proper limits ; farmers have left off grumbling ; and we are about to take, a vyalk, as usual, as far as the Shaw, a pretty wood about a mile off. But one of our companions being a stranger to the gentle. readkr, we must do him the honour of an introduction. Dogs, when they are sure of having their own way,•have sometimes ways as odd as- those of the unfurred, unfeathered animals, who walk on'two legs, and talk, and are called rational. Mv beautiful white greyhound, Mayflower, for in . - stance, is as whimsical as the finest lady in the land. Amongst her other fancies, she has taken a violent affection for a most hideous stray dog, who made his a pp earance h ere ab ou t s i x mont h s ago, and contrived to pick up living in the vil lage, one can Hardly =tell how. Now appealing to the charity of old Rachael Strong, the laim dress—a dog-lover by profession; now winning a meal from the light-tooted and open-hearted lasses at the Rose ; now standing on his hind legs, to extort by sheer beggary a scanty morsel from some pair of 4 , drowthy cronies," or solitary drover, discussing his dinner or supper on the alehouse-bench ; now catching a mouthful flung to him in pure contempt by some scornful gen tleman of the shoulder-knot, mounted on his throne the coach-box, wh ose not i ce h e h a d at tracted by dint of ugliness; now sharing the commons of Master Keep the shoemaker's pigs ; now succeeding to the reversion of' the well gnawed bone of Master Brow the shopkeeper's fierce house-dog ; now filching the skim-milk of Dame Wheeler's cat :—spit at by the cat ; wor ried by the mastiff ; chased by the pigs ; scream ed at by the dame ; stormed at by the shoe maker ; flogged by the shopkeeper ; teased by all the children, and scouted by all the animals of the parish ;—but yet living-through his griefs, and bearing them patiently, for sufferance is the badge of all his tribe ;"—and even seeming to find, in an occasional full meal, or a gleam of sunshine, or a whisp of dry straw on which to repose his sorry carcass, some comfort in his dis consolate condition. a ti 1:i activitynti s d y( o itoh f bbueoto g (y r :s e ; y :ras h et:li o londe i ps i ;p n t ma il trsi s ees:; : t In this plight was he found by May, the most high-blooded net a porp n i and from this plight did May rescue him ; idsehweotoarofr aristocratic e s m t t te o u or a r u c rr i n i dt ta : e h t ri l i cy a ii i mis tress, ri i i i ioesm v snt i es t :d e t bha d aynelr h dlte i i T liaenti protection, an the pertinacity of her self-will ; made him sharer at' her bed and her mess ; and, finally, established him as one of the family as firmly as' herself. Dash—for he has even won himself a name amongst us, before he was anonymous—Dash is a sort of a kind of a spaniel; at least there is in his mongr e l composition some sign of that beau tiful race. Besides his ugliness, which is of the worst sort—that is to say, the shabbiest—lie has a limp on one leg that gives a peculiarly one sided awkwardness to his gait ; but, independ ently of his great merit in being Mays pet, he has other merits which serve to account for that phenomenon—being, beyond all comparison the most faithful, attached, and affectionate anim a l that I have ever known ; and that is saying muc h . He seems to think it necessary to atone for his and ugliness by extra goodconduct, does so dance on hi s lame leg, and so wag his scrubby tail, that i t does any one who has a taste for happiness good to look at him —so that he may now be said to stand on his own footing.
