ELECTION OF MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR
ST. I'neense.—Yesterday, at a meeting of the vestry of
St. Pancras, a ballot took place from the three names
previously selected for the elation of a medical offieer of
health and examiner of gas, in the place of the late J2r.
Hillier, when the number of votes received for eadh of
the candidates was declared to be—Mr. J. T. Dickson, 2;
Mr. W. J. Smith, 42; and Dr. Stevenson, 46. De.
Stevenson, who was accordingly declared duly elected,
is Lecturer on Experimental Philosophy, &a, at Guy's
Hospital, and Examiner in Forensic Medicine in the
Univeraity of Loudon.
THE NEw LORD ODAMIELLOIL correspon-
dent of the Leeds Mulvey states that Lard Hatherley her
for many yearn laboured as a Sunday-school teacher, iu
which cal acity he was tho colleague for twenty years
of a man whom Leeds was proud to return as its repre-
reututive to parliament—the late Robert Hall. Here •• is a
man, with the make and materials of a Chancellor, who
has been giving hie personal services to working men.
by inst., ucliug their children and grandchildren Sunday
after Sunday for the past thirty years, until his hair is
whitened with age and hard drudging labour. In his
attendance at the school his punctuality. is so unerring
that upon Pleating it he serves as an um:ruble time-
piece, both teacher and scholar knowing well that
if they are able to reach the door with or before
him they are perfectly safe. Should • medal ever be
awarded for puuctuality in voluntary service the Lord
Chancellor could fairly claim it, for he has never been
known to be behind time. Just two words more to say
that Westminster finds in the Lord Chancellor a most
liberal supporter of its schools and hospitals, and, among
its churches, more than one owe their existence to his
counsel and to his munificence. If at any time there
should be
.projected an a Early Ruing Association,' the
founders might almost reckon upon Lord Hatherley as
president, for our venerable abbey (which is close to his
residence) witnesses his daily entrance at an hour when a
third of the metropolis is in a position of recumbency."
NATIONALITY IN VOICEB.—At the ordinary
meeting of the Anthropological Society of London, held
on the 15th December, Dr. James that, Provident, in
the chair, Sir Duncan Gibb, Bart.,_Viee-President, read •
paper " On the Character of the Voice in the Nations of
Ana and Africa, contrasted with that in the Nations of
Europe," of which the following is an abstract :—The 'ab-
ject was quite new, and difficulttohandlefromthe compara-
tively few facts bearing upon it ; the author" however,
trusted to these and to his general experience in its eluci-
dation. The voice of the Chinese and Japanese was of
low power, feeble compass, and whining in its tone, pos-
sessing at times a sort of metallic twang. Among the
natives of Tartary, Thant, and Mongolia, the voice was
stronger, louder, more powerful, yet still partakin of the
stall twang ; the female voice was not inferior. in
power to that of the male sex ; the metallic and deafening
tones of the voice in those peoples were well-mastea
and distinctive peculiarity. In India and Birmah, the
voice was generally soft and very feminine, not so power-
ful as shrill ; the natives of the hills had • more robust
voice than those in the plains, the formerpoettififf
somewhat metallic twang, and the latter, aplaintive and
whining tone. In Africa, the ••, was taken as the type,
whore larynx was of intmmeffis proportinesbetween the
Chinese and Tartan, but differed from all other races of
mankind in certain peculiarities, which the author de-
scribed. The negro wanted vocal power in whatever part
of the world he was placed, but possessed the elements of
a bellowing or roaring voice—a deafening noisy sound,
without harmony or distinctness. In speaking, the voice
was smooth and harmonious, or rough and husky. Con-
sidered generally, the various nations of Europe possessed
strong, powerful, sonorous, and clear voices ; variations
as to character and tone might and did exist, but, as a
rule, they all agreed in porter, full compass, range, clear-
ness, and loudness of sound. The German had the most
powerful voice in Europe, for reasons which the author
gave; but in strength of voice he must yield to the Tar-
tar, who, without exception, has the most powerful voice
in the world. The condition of the larynx, with length
of the vocal chortle, and other circumstances bearing on
the subject in the various nations of the three groat conti-
nents, were considered,, and the reasons given for the
general conclusions arrived at. The following gentlemen
took part in the discussion :—Mr. L. Owen Pike, Dr.
Carter Blake, Dr. Reim, Mr. Maokenne, Dr. Charnock,
Mr. Allan, Rev. Dunbar Heath. Dr. Campbell, Dr. King.
