DR. MARY WALKER'S LECTURE.

*parting Intelligence.

The largest of the St. James's Balls was crowded
by an excited and,in the main, deeply interested audience,
yesterday evening, assembled to hear from Dr. diary
Walker, the distinguished American female physician,
some account of her life and adventures, the reasons which
had induced her to despise established custom and Andy
and practise medicine, and mach details as she could
include in a lecture of what she had been, both as an
army surgeon and a prisoner in the great American war.
There can be no doubt but
w that the large
the
and
highly respectable company hich occupied
platform, filled the stalls, and crowded the area,
were determined to give the lecturer not only a fair
hearing, but a favourable reception ; but we regret to add
that the gallery was filled by a mob of unruly boys, alleged,
we hope falsely, to be medical students, who were noisy,
vulgar, and sometimeseven indecent in their interruptions,
and who were only reduced to comparativesilence and order
by the emphatically expressed wish of the more respect-
able portion of the audience to have them turned out, and
the announcement by an official that there was a IllitiaMt
force of police in attendance to carry that wish into effect.
Previous to Dr. Walker coming on the stage an appeal
was made on her behalf by Hr. Nimmo for a fair hearing.
and amid the cheering which was the prompt response
the fair lecturer herself made her appearance, and at once
made a favourable impression on the audience by her bright
intelligent countenance, her slight girlish figure, and her
perfectly modest and ladylike deportment. She wore a
long, dark, close-fitting tunic, upon the breast of which
her decoration, honourably won in the battle-fields of the
great war, was conspicuously placed, and bloomer trowvers,
or, as they are called in the American language, " pents;"
but her whole attire, although differing widely from
the fashionable female costume of the period, had nothing
in it that with the slightest justice could be called either
indelicate or unfeminine. Dr. Walker appears to be
about four or five and twenty, is of slight, graceful figure,
and has a well-formed, well-set head, and pleasing features,
the latter of that refined and delicate cast which is the
prevalent characteristic of American beauty. Her lecture,
which—except by the vulgar and unruly boys above
alluded to—was most attentively listened to, and much
cheered, was mainly a narrative of the lecturer's personal
career. She told the motives that first induced
her to study medicine, and the difficulties she
encountered in carrying her intentions into effect.
In time she overcame prejudice, exclusiveness, every-
thing but the great dress question, which obstructed her
all through, and the phases of which highly amused the
audience. We must not anticipate the pleasure of Dr.
Walker's lady visitors by reporting all she did and suffered
on the score of dress, until she at last finally forswore
crinoline and adopted a costume in which she could walk
and work, but will merely place on record her emphatic
declaration that the present style of female costume is
killing women by thousands. Having passed with credit
through the medical schools she commenced practice,
and was soon overwhelmed with patients, prin-
cipally females, but some also the very men who
had ridiculed her intention to study medicine.
The breaking out of the American war called
her to the field, and there she met with episodical incidents
the recital of which moved many of her audience to tears.
Exposed to the greatest personal risks, she displayed so
much courage, and did such good service both in the field
and in the military hospitals, that the American govern-
ment rewarded her with the cross of valour. In the
course of the war she was taken prisoner by the Con -
federates, and experienced hardships from which her health
still suffers ; she was finally exchanged for a Southern
surgeon, and at the termination of the war she
determined, previous to resuming her ordinary prac-
tice, to visit the schools and hospitals of Europe. The
foregoing is the briefest possible outline of a lecture which
occupied an hour and a half in the delivery, and was lis-
tened to with sustained interest all through- An occa-
sional Americanism. such as " dressical," and "concise,"
used as a verb active, crept out, but the elocution of the
lecturer was otherwise excellent, and the voice clear, mu-
sical, and penetrative. The lecture will bear a little com-
pression, but when that has been skilfully applied we have
no doubt but that it will be listened to with pleasure by
successive audiences for many evenings to come.

LEA3LINGTON AND WARWICKSHIRE
HUNT MEETING.—TUESDAT.
Mr. Merry's second autumnal gathering was inaugurated
to-day in weather which, if it continues, will probably lead
to a postponement of the sport before the week ends. So
far, however, the meeting has been a decided success, and
the attendance to-day, in a biting frost, only affords ano-
ther proof of the interest taken in the national sport. A
I very large number of horses had arrived this morning to
fulfil their engagements during the week, and the trains
from Loudon brought • eerable number of visitors.
The course, which is composed of somewhat undulated land,
suffered materially, it will be remembered, from the
heavy rains during the September meeting, but to-day
it was in some parts as bard as flint, and in i
others quite " sticky," but taking it altogether the
" going was very fair. A card of somewhat formidable
dimensions was issued, and considering the lateness of the
season the fields were very strong, the various events pro-
ductive of considerable speculation, and the contests close
and exciting. The frost continued during the afternoon,
and at the time oar parcel was despatched it had set in
with considerable severity.

THE HEALTH OF LONDON.

It appears from the return issued by authority
of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on
Saturday, November 17, the births registered in London and
twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom
were 4,134 ; the deaths registered 3,080. The annual rate
of mortality was 26 per 1,000 persons living. In London
the births of 1,03.1 boys and 953 girls, in all I,OsS chil-
dren, were registered in the week. In the corresponding
weeks of ten years, 1:4:06-65, the average number, corrected
for increase of population, was 2,026. The deaths regis-
tered in London during the week were 1,423 It was the
forty-sixth week of the year ; and the average number of
deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of
population, 1,510. The deaths in the present return are
less by 01 than the estimated number. Thus the mortality
has been below the average for two weeks in succession.
The eruption of cholera in October, partly due to the sani-
tary defects of Woolwich and Lower Charlton, is subsid-
ing ; and the small houses of Lower Charlton are now
supplied with a system of drains. Thirty-two persons
died of cholera, 22 of diarrhea in the week. The decline of
the disease is decisive ; and with due vigilance in London
it will ere long be extinguished in the epidemic form. The
deaths from cholera in the last live weeks were 144, 112,
73, 67, and 32 among more than three millions of people.
Dr. Frankland has investigated some of the physical pro-
perties of cholera stuff (zholrine) ; he has shown that it
passes through filtering paper, and that water containing
1-500th part of the matter is not entirely purified by trans-
mission through &Mimi charcoal. Whether the proper-
ties of the remaining molecules or organisms undergo any
change in the filtering process, depriving them of their
zythotic character, has not been determined. The inves-
tigation proves the importance of destroying all the dejec-
tion' by disinfectants, and of drawing water from sources
free from contamination.
The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000
in Loudon, 28 in Edinburgh, and 37 in Dublin ; 20 in
Bristol, 20 in Birmingham, 29 in Liverpool, 30 in Man-
chester, 29 in Salford, 25 in Sheffield, 23 in Leeds, 19 in
Hull, 37 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 31 in Glasgow. The
rate in Vienna was 37 per 1000 during the week ending the
3rd inst., when the temperature was 1.7 deg. Fahrenheit
lower than in the same week in London, where the rate
was 24 per 1,000.

It is proposed to set on font a medical mission
among the native women of Delhi, with the double object
of alleviating much physical suffering and of taking a
knowledge of Christianity to them in their secluded
homes. This is a work which can only be carried on by a
woman, as the native women in many cases will rather die
than be seen by a man in times of sickness. The first lady
will proceed to Delhi and act under the guidance of the
Rev. R. R. Winter, missionary of the Society for the Pro.
pagation of the Gospel in that city.
THE CASE OF MR. STATHAM. —A large and in-
fluential meeting of members of the medical and dental
profession was held yesterday at the Literary Institute,
Edward-street. Portman-square, to consider the case of
Mr. Statham, the defendant in the late trial of Absolon e.
Statham. Dr. It chardson was unanimou called to the
chair. The following resolution was passe:—"That this
meeting expresses its warmest sympathy with Mr.
Statham, and its entire approval of his practice in the
treatment of the plaintiff Absolon, and that it looks upon
actions of this nature with the extremest anxiety, as tend-
ing to embarrass every practitioner in the conscientious
performance of his duties." A committee was formed,
with Dr. Richardson as chairman, Mr. Arnold Rogers as
honorary treasurer, and Mr. Charles James Fos as honorary
secretary, for the purpose of further considering the case,
and preparing a statement respecting the critical
and dangerous position at present held by medical
men in relation to vexatious trials such as that to which
Mr. Statham had been subjected. Amongst those
present were--Dr. Gant, Dr. Buzzard, Messrs. Har-
rison, Hepburn, Christopher Heath, Erasmus 'Wil-
son, Ballard, Jordan, Harvey, Sansom (Harvard),
Charles James Fox, Dn. Leared, Cholmeley, Har-
dings, Webb, Messrs. Clover, Hulme, Ibbetson, Walker,
Adams, Ramsey, Lawrence, Bailey, Williams, Kimpton,
Reboul, Gascoigne. The honorary secretary also stated
that he had received personal assurances of sympathy
with the meeting from Sir William Fergusson, Means.
Saunders, Tomes, Thomas Rogers, Forsyth ; and read let-
ters from Dn. Crucknell, Jackson, Hyde Salter, and Messrs.
Buxton Shilletoe, Catlin, Campbell Demo
Holt, Barnard
Holt, Gay, Coleman, Cartwright, Rymer, Sercombe, Mer-
ryweatber, Mummery, Michael.
Despatches descriptive of the effects of the hur-
ricane at the Bahamas and Turks Island have been re-
ceived at the Colonial-office, and are published in last
night's Gazette.
[Advertisement.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
Agonising Pans.—lt is gratifying to hear sufferers recount the
ease they derived when first they applied this Ointment to their
ulcers, sores, or abscesses, with which theyhistl been afflicted for
years. Soon after its application to a badleg or idsaimatory
ulcer it restrains the excitement of blood vessels and =Ma,
which at once brings coolness and comfort, and furthers the gra-
dual deposits of healthy materials to fill up the mews caused
by violence, debility or disease. It expels all noxious matters,
and heals all sores soundly. It gives ease to varicose veins, bad
legs, and swellings of the feet and Jointa, when the agony le
alinostanranitting. and the pain too much for a gLant's strength.

THE LATE FLOOD.—In some parts of Yorkshire
the flood has caused the destruction of hundreds if not
not thousands of hares, rabbits, and partridges, and even
of some pheasants. The floods rendered some of these
animals very tame, and they were easily captured.
WAREHOUSEMEN AND CLERKS' SCHOOLS.—The
annual general court of governors and subscribers to the
Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools for Orphan and Ne-
cessitous Children was held last evening at the Guildhall
Coffee-house ; the chair was occupied by Mr. R. White,
deputy-chairman. During the past year 3,3981. had been
received for general purposes, showing an increase of an-
nual subscriptions as compared with any former year of
181/. The expenditure had been 4,158/. There had been
received on account of the building fund 7,902/., and there
bad been expended upon it 8,30'.W. The new build-
ing would be found to compare favourably with
any public school in the country. The scholars at
present numbered 75 boys and 30 girls, an increase of
seventeen over the number in the school at any previous
time. As many as twenty-seven children bad been ad-
mitted during the last year, while twelve had left at the
expiration of their term. The health of the children and
the discipline and condition of the schools were of the moat
satisfactory character. The usual reports were presented
and accepted, and a discussion arose upon a resolution
proposing to alter three of the rules affecting voting for
the admirion of children to the schools. For the future, •
donation of ten guineas will make the donor a lite governor
with the privilege of two votes ; a donation of five guineas,
a life member with ens vote ; a yearly subscription of one
guinea, • governor with two votes ; and a yearly subscrip-
tion of hall • guinea • member with one vote—in each
case a vote be allowed for each subscription.
