by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.

" Dr. Fickfoi;: 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs es, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last; if he shad letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his ower to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers.'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and it this book
:Amid find its way into the hands of thoso who stiffer fr,,m the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
oe saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money..., —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to p'acs the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

NAVAL MEDICAL SERVICE.

On Friday night a publie meeting of the medical
students of the metropolitan hospitals, which was also
attended by delegates from the principal medical schools
in the United Kingdom, and countenanced by the pre-
sence of the leading practitioners, was held in St. Mar-
tin's Hall, Long-acre, for the purpose of taking measures
to secure the amelioration of the present position of
assistant surgeons in the navy. The large hall was
crowded to excess. Mr. John Brady, M.P., was called
to the chair.
Communications, condemnatory of the Admiralty re-
gulations, were read from Edinburgh, Liverpool, Dub-
lin, Cork, .Canterbury, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Aberdeen,
and other places of medical education.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said,
that when he saw himself surrounded by members of
the profession who were known throughout the world,
he regretted that some of them had not been called en
to preside over the meeting. The difficulty which he
felt in occupying that position in their presence was
diminished when he considered the goodness of the cause
which had brought them together—one. which every
man who loved his profession ought to rally round and
support. Therefore it was that he had accepted the
honour which they had conferred on him, and he was
there heart and hand to join them in every step they
might take to raise the dignity of their profession. The
question they had come to consider was the injustice that
had been long heaped on the assistant surgeons in the
navy ; but that was not all that they had to complain of.
They had also to complain
that, notwithstanding the ad-
vances which their profession had made during the last
20 years, its members had not risen to a more elevated
social position in the country, 'an evil which he at-
tributed to want of unity of action and of thought swung
themselves.

Mr. Husband, of Middlesex Hospital, proposed the
first resolution, to the effect that the meeting, in com-
mon with the nation at large, viewed with deep and un-
feigned regret the ill success which bad attended the
many efforts Made by members of Parliament and the
public press to ameliorate the condition of the naval as-
sistant-surgeons. It anticipated with anxiety aid alarm
haiiedh, and
were entereddero itsot derogatory

the unnecessary loss of life which would ensue should an
w
action occur while the navy was so inefficiently supplied
and
freswith
sio regulationssurgical
n detrimental to the efficiency of the naval
naval aseistant•sur-
geon was one he considered of degradation and anomaly,
service. The present position of the
alike inconsistent with his age, his rank, and his educa-
tion. Arrived at manhood, they had to associate with
boys ' • gentlemen, they were denied associate with their
equals holding the commission of officers, they were
held up to the laughter and contempt of subordinates.
It was supposed that they should continue the prosecu-
tion of their medical studies, but they were denied the
retirement of a cabin—an accommodation which was
afforded to the naval instructor, to the carpenter, and
to the boatswain, all of whom, they were aware, were
their inferiors in rank. When they, a few ;
years since,
asked for the favour of a separate cabin, they were told
that there was no room for the construction done. It,
however, happened that three bad been since that time
constructed, and given to inferior offieers—and all this
in contravention of orders in council and of the votes of
the House of Commons.
Dr. Ilturiken, University Hospital, seconded the re-
solution, and said that the Admiralty were now reaping
the fruits of their injustice to the naval assistant-sur-
geons, as they were not in time of war able to supply
the service with a number of medical officers sufficient
for a peace establishment. There were now 200 vacan-
cies in the list of the naval assistant surgeons, and the
Admiralty proposed to fill them up by the appointment
of those who were legally and absolutely unfit for the
performance of the duties which it was proposed to im-
pose on them. (Cries of slianic,)
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. RamsDALE, Bartholomew's; in a long speech, com-
pared the extent of the education received by the mem-
bers of the niedical profession with the scant modicum
of information reliti rod to be possessed by the marine
officers who on rhiphosrd ranked'above them ; pointed
Out how painful it would be to the feelings of an assis-
tant-surgeon belono'in!,. to a man-of-war, which might
have troops on board, to see the army assistant surgeon,
who might perhaps have been his fellow-student, associ-
ating with the ward-room officers which he had to keep
company with the young midshipmen in the cockpit,
and concluded by moving a resolution expressive of the
opinion of the meeting :—" That the present Admiralty
regulations were such as to exclude efficient members
of the medical profession from the naval service, and
that it pledged itself to adopt the most earnest and ener-
getic measures to obtain redress of the existing grier
few, if
anus, firmly copvinecd that in the meantime

navy."
.Mr. WILSON, of Westminster, augured favourably of
the present movement from the unanimity which pre-
vailed among themselves and the support of the public
press, which they received from every organ belonging
to it. Even Punch bad given them a lift.
Mr. BEAUMONT, of Hull, supported ,the resolution,
as he considered the present movement an act of justice
to themselves and a benefit to the nation.

ich had been produced by the evils of
the present system ; and that tke meeting, therefore,
strongly deprecated the proposal, and earnestly called
upon the students of the United Kingdom to sacrifice,
on public grounds, any private adiantages which it
might seem to offer ;" which, having been seconded by
Mr. Down, of London, was unanimously agreed to.
Several other gentlemen, including Mr. Dod, St.
Thomas's ;•Mr. Thomas, Charing-cross ; Mr. Holmes,
St. George's ; Mr. Ga,scoigne, St. Mary's ; Mr. Duffin,
King's College ; and Mr. Hepworth, of Manchester,
subsequently addressed the meeting, which appointed a
deputation to wait on the Admiralty with an exposition
of their grievances, appealed in an address to the prin-
cipal medical corporations for co-operation, and agreed
to a petition for presentation to Parliament.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings. .

THE MOVEMENT AGAINST THE ARIS-
TOCRACY PUT DOWN BY THE
CHARTISTS.

On Friday night a public meeting was held in the
large room at the. London Tavern, to inaugurate the
National and Constitutional 'Association, for the pur-
pose of putting au end to the present oligarchical
system, by which a few aristocratic families monopolise
the leading offices of State,

Dr. James Taylor occupied the chair, supported by
Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P. and Mr. Murrough, M.P., and
other gentlemen of Liberal politics.
Mr. ERNEST JONES, the well-known chartist leader
surrounded by a knot of his friends, occupied one end of
the platform, while a tall policeman stood conspicuous
at the other, as if intended to act as a practical hint to
intrusive speakers. The room was about two-thirds
full.

Mr. A. B. RICHARDS, secretary, read letters from se-
veral gentlemen, including Mr. Layard, who was too
much occupied by other duties to attend ; Sir De Lacy
Evans, who gave his good wishes 'to the objects of the
meeting, but thought it would not become him to attend
on account of the part he had taken in the operations of
the war ; and Sir J. V. Shelley, who intimated the pro-
bability of his attendance.
The SECRETARY then read an address to the nation,
issued by the council of the newassociation, denunciatory
of aristocratic misrule, which was generally well received,
but provoked a tremendous storm of disapprobation
when it asserted that " there are practical men in every
class, but especially in the middle class ;" and the
chairman and secretary found it nece.sary to qualify the
assertion by saying it included all classes, before the
working men, of whom the meeting principally consisted
desisted from their protest.
The CHAIRMAN then briefly addressed the meeting,
strongly enforcing the necessity of a decisive effort, at
the present crisis, upon the part of the masses to snatch
the reins of government from the hands of an incom-
petent aristooracy, an end for the attainment of which
the formation of a national association was necessary.
Mr. J. BEALE, in a long and able speech, moved the
following as the first resolution " That, the perilous
state of public affairs and the manifest hopelessness of
improvement under the present oligarchial system, which
hai usurped the functions of government, monopolised
pace and privilege, and brought disgta,ce and disaster
upon the country, make it iticunibent on the people to
unite, in order to prevent a continuation.af the existing
calamitous system, as well for the safety of the nation rig
for the honour of the British Crown ; that an association
Ip-,.therefore, now formed ; and be called The National
and Constitutional Association.' "

Mr. NICIIOLAY (of Marylebone). seconded the resolu-
tion, arguing that the state of feeling throughout the
country wag favourable to the formation of the associa-
tion, or even demanded it.

Mr. A. PELLITT then rose, according to the pro-
gramme, to t.upport the mytion ' • but
Mr. DICKEY, a well-known Chartist, came forward
from one end of the platf irm, and was met by a gentle-
man advancing from the other end, intent upon moving
an amendment.

After some little delay, the meeting decided to hear
Mr. Pellatt, who proceeded to invoke union as the best
means of beating the common foe—bribery, corruption,
and hal representation. What was wanted was a change
from the present composition of the House of Commons
to a system by which the people should be represented
by men like the Ironsides of Cromwell. (Cheers, and
cries of "And Wet Tyler.") Mr. Pellatt, after a few
further remarks of a general nature, concluded by ad-
vising his hearers to look well to the elections, as they
would never be well represented until members were
returned free of expense. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DICKEY and the gentleman anxious to move an
amendment again came forward, but the chairman ap-
pesled to the meeting to hear Mr. Murrough in prefer-
ence, as he was anxious to return at oi.ce to the House
of Commons. The great majority of the meeting, how-
ever, denounced this as unfair, and Mr. Murrough was
compelled, reluctantly, to postpone his speech. The
chairman then called upon the gentle:ea-1 anxious to
move the amendment, who announced himself as
G. HARRISON, a democrat of 30 years' standing, and
the great Chartist of Nottingham. (Cheers.) It had
been said by a preceding speaker that the composition of
the House of Commons was oligarchical, while in fact it
was not oligarchical, but middle-class, and the present
movement was only intended to put the Government of
the country into middle-class hands, and give them a
share in the distribution and enjoyment of place and
pension. (Cheers.) The resolution did not affect the
evils which it asserted to exist; since it neither alluded to
the ballot nor the extension of the suffrage, without the
enactment of which as law there could be no hope for
the people. The speaker then moved an amendment in
favour of the adoption of a'petition (to be signed by the
chairman) in favour of the People's Charter. (Cheers.)
A contest of precedence followed between Mr. Dickey
and Mr. E. Jones, ending in favour of the latter, who
seconded the amendment, as a humble representative of
the unrepresented sons of labour. Having no faith in
the new association, he advised the working classes to
form their own associations,- and look after their own
interests. They talked of abolishing aristocratic monopoly
of place, and he tad no doubt they desired it, for he ima-
gined there were a lot of hungry Prime Ministers upon
the platform. (Cheers.) They talked of a crusade against
the Duke of Devonshire, and he was ready to join in
suohia crusade, but not in favour of the Dukes of Devil's
dust and Shoddy. (Cheers.) Then the council, in their
resolutions, denounced secret diplomacy, while their own
means and machinery were of a secret nature, and it
was quite evident that the resolutions were humbug.
(Cheers.) It has been said by a well-known newspaper
that the Chartist cry was dead ; but ho gave an answer
to this by asserting that no political movement could be
started for which the working-classes would exert them-
selves unless it was for the People's Charter. (Loud
cheers.)
A good deal of confusion followed, several individuals
expressing their desire to speak.
The Chairman, after protesting against the interfer-
ence of the plans of the council, put the amendment,
which was carried by an overwhelming majority, and
three hearty cheers were given for the People's Charter.
The Chairman said the formation of the association
had been negatived by the meeting, but the council
would still persevere, and make another appeal to the
public.
The proceedings then terminated abruptly, a vote of
thanks to the chairman being carried, on the motion of
Mr. E. Jones.

THE CONVICT MuNnoE.--Just before the bolt was
withdrawn, the chaplain, taking hold of Munroe's hand,
asked if he had anything more to add to his confession.
The prisoner replied that he bad not : b:tweeu God and
himself all that he had stated was true. He said lie sc.
knowle-Iged the justice of his punishment, and that he
deserved to die. He then grasped the chaplain's hand
convulsively and wished him good bye. It may not be
worth inentionnw, but it is a fact that Caleiaft, who it
will be allowed has had experience in such wafters, ex-
pressed his firm belief that the couchinned man spoke
the truth in his cot:fission. This is certainly the con-
viction of all who have_etww in contact with Munr
since his uondonwit;on. He is looked upon as having
been the victim of some baser villain. WhiLlecteca

THE RUSSIAN MEDAL.-0a the bo,liei of numbers of
the Russian soldiers who recently fell before Euvatoria
were found the silver medal of the decoration of St.
George. On one side is engraven the Russian eagle
with two heads, holding in its talons the terrestrial
globe and the sceptre of the sovereign ; over the eazle
is the imperial crown of Russia, surrounded by the illu-
minated dove, and round these figures is the following
motto in the Russian language—" Fall on your knees
idolaters, for God is with us." On the other side of the
medal is the following motto, also in Ru,sian- ." For
the submission of Hungary and Transylvania," which
sufficiently indicates its origin.
