minated in Dublinz;th • " general meeting," excursions
to the county of 'Mellow and to the Boyne, the latter
conducted by Slr William WHie ; and a conversable,
given by Lord Talbot de Malabide on Saturday evening,

meeting addresses were delivered by Drs. Waters Mark-
ham, Sihson, Stewart, and Falkiner, in which the Provost
and senior fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, were com-
plimented for the attention they had bestowed upon the
association and its members. A. special vote of thanks to
Dr. Stokes was moved by Dr. Acland. Among the papers li
read on the last day of sitting were—on Cerebro-Spimil
Fever, by Dr. Marsh ; on Glasgow Fever Dens, by Dr.
Gardner ; on the Sanitary Improvement of Towns and
Villages, by Dr. Johnston. Three papers on cholera pro-
duced en interesting discussion. There were—on the
Topography of Cholera, by Dr. Mapother, of Dublin ; on
Experience of Cholera during the late epidemic, with
macs, by Dr. Little; and on the Nature, Symptoms, and
Treatment of Cholera, bT Dr. McGreevy. Dr. Mapotber
argued that the distribution of cholera in cities denends
upon the course of streams and pools, some of which are
allowed to dry up, whilst others are diverted into sewers.
"The cholera poison was of the nature of a parasite
plant." Dr. Takao, of Bristol, staled evidence of the
power of
disinfectants in extinguishing the poison. In the
physiological section papers were read on " The Cardio-
graph" and on "The Movements of the Heart," by Dr.
Silison. Dr. Paton read also an essay on the same class of
subjects. Mr. Tiebbounie contributed a paper on
" Potable Waters," in which it is stated that " the poison
found in some waters, produced by the inroad of sewage,
was, bulk for bulk or weight for weight, more deleterious
than such poisons as prussic acid, strychnine, or the virus
of the cobra"

ROYAL SCHOOL FOR DAUGHTERS OF OFFICERS OP
THE AMT.—The committee of the above school with
regret are crompelled to appeal to the public for assistance
under the peculiar cireunetancee in which they are placed.
When they cemented to undertake the formation of the
school they had every reason to expect that a considerable
sum of money, which had been collected for a somewhat
similar object, would have been transferred to them, and
calculating upon that money, they enlarged the accommo-
dation for the children at the school, which they other-
Trim would not have felt justified in doing. Unexpected
opposition on the part of the trustees of that fund has
caused the money to be withheld from them, and it is
very doubtful whether they will now ever receive any of it.
The committee, therefore, have no alternative but appeal-
ing to the public to aid them in discharging this debt, due
for increased accommodation and additional building at
the school. The object for which the school was esta-
blished, the benefits it has already conferred, and the
strong claims of those for whose advantage it is intended,
will, the committee feel confident, ensure them • ready
response from the TESTIMONIAL
to this appeal.
INTERESTING TESTIMONIAL TO AN ARCTIC TRA-
TELLER.—A luncheon party met in Hull on Monday to
present Mr. C. E Smith. late surgeon of the steam whaler
Diana, with a purse of gold, as some acknowledgment of
his courage and intrepidity when the vessel was frmen up
in the Arctic regions. The gift was accompanied by the
following testimonial :—" Presented, with • purse of one
hundred and eight guineas, at the George Hotel, by the
representatives of the underwriters as Lloyd's, the I
bankers, merchants, shipowners, professional gentl;men,
and tradesmen of KingstomnponMull, to Mr. rl.es Ed-
ward Smith, late surgeon of the screw steam whaler
Diana, which vessel was during the long, dreary winter of
1866-67, beset in the ice in the Arctic regions, when
through months of privation, distress, and sickness, his
courage, unwearied kindness, and professional skill gained
him the love and esteem of the ill-fated crew, as well as
the admiration of the undermentioned subscribers, and
the inhabitants of Hull generally." Mr. Smith, in ac.
koowledging the presentation, paid • high tribute to Cap-
tain °Torii, who died on the disastrous voyage, and to the
few Hull seamen whose noble firmness saved the ship.
One of the subsequent speakers dwelt upon the advisa-
bility of having • local reservoir converted into • swimming
bath. Had it not been for the fact that Dr. Smith could
swim he, and twelve of the men, who were oa • picaof
los, would him boos dronrao4.
