A Vienna correspondent of the Weser Zeitung shows how
the difficulty connected with the arsenal of Nicolaieff is
to be got over; according to his version, there is to he
Ru.stan Lloyd's company formed, with its seat in Odessa,
and its shipbuilding yard at Nicolaieff; its vessels are to
navigate the Bug and the Dnieper, the Black Sea and the
Mediterranean. Nicolaieff is thus to cease to be a military
arsenal, but its works are not to be destroyed, but rather to
be converted to the peaceful purposes of commercial

navigation.
COLLECTION OF MEDICAL KNOWLE DGE —A meeting of
medical men of all nations represented now at Constantino-
ple, was recently held in the so-called " Casino," The ides
of it originated in the Scutari hospital. Dr. Pineopp, on*
of the civil surgeons attached to the hospital, was the chief
promoter of it. There are four systems of medicine and
surgery face to face in the English, French, Sardinian, and
Turkish hospitals, and as many different systems of ad-
ministration, every one of which has its advantap
over the others in some respects, and its shortcomings lc
others. The study of 'each system and an exchange of
ideas on the most interesting questions connected with the
most frequent cases of field surgery and medicine, as well as
with the general administration of hospitals, was therefore
likely to be of advantage to all parties. At the meeting a
resolution was passed to assemble twice a month regularly,
to discuss questions of a practical interest and the diseases
which are most prevalent in armies, such as typhus, dysen-
tery, congelations. &c. Besides this a committee was
formed, composed of members of each nation, to draw up
the statute of a i‘ Permanent Medical Society of all Ns"
gone."
