venue of the Duchy of Cornwall.—Morning Post.

APOIHECARIES'-HALL.—Names of gentlemen who
passed their examination in the science and practice of me-
dicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, the
12th f February, 1852 :—William Maxwell Bunny), Wath-
upon-Dearne ; John Kent Spender, Bath; James Strange
Biggs, Devizes, Wilts.
THE LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL.—The annual
meeting of the governors of this institution was held yester-
day at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Earl of Devon pre-
sided. It appeared from the report that 677 patients had
been admitted into the hospital in 1851, of whom 740 had
been cured, 83 had. died, and 103 remained under treatment.
The audited accounts set forth that the income for the same
year was 1,6091. and the expenditure 2,2691. This deficit
had been partly made up by the circumstance of three small
legacies, amounting together to 5091. As it may not happen
again that legacies may come Mao opportunely, the benevo-
lent will see the necessity of being liberal in support of this
excellent charity. The appointment of a chaplain having
been referred to a committee, and some other business gone
through, the meeting broke up.

REPRESENTATION OP THE CITY OF
had been requested to offer himself as a NORWICH.—
A report has been in circulation in this city, that T. 0.
Springfield, Es€l,
candidate for the representation. Upon inquiry, we learn
that some of the members of the King's Arias Clab made a
suggestion upon the subject, but that nothing has arisen from
it. If we might venture an opinion, we should say that Mr.
Springfield is too shrewd a man to be induced to undertake
such a proposaL Mr. Springfield's experience has shown
him the evils attendant on a citizen and resident who is the
representative of his native town, and such a city as Norwich,
to say nothing of the sacrifices which in other respeets he is
called upon to make. We suspect the whole rt atter is no•
thing more than mere club gossip.—Norwich Mercury.

CONCISE REPLY OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON -
" The gallant Duke" lately met a young clergyman, who
being aware of his Grace's former residence in the East, and
of his familiarity with the ignorance and obstinacy of the
Hindoos in support of their false religion, gravely proposed
the following question :- " Does not your Grace think it
almost useless and extravagant to preach the Gospel to the
Hindoos?" The Duke immediately rejoined—" Look, Sir, to
your marching orders preach the Gospel to every creature."
(Mark xvi. 15.)
INVITATION OF ENGLISH ENGINEERS TO BELGIUM.
—A private letter from Liege announces that one of the
partners of a very large iron-foundry and engineering estab-
lishment in the environs of that city has come over to Eng-
land for the purpose of entering into arrangements with a
certain number of English machinists, at very excellent
wages, to go over to Belgium, as in consequence of the work-
ing engineers' strike in England, the different manufactories
for steam-engines, locomotives, rails, &c., have received so
many extensive orders from Austria, Russia, and other parts
of the continent, that they are obliged to take en a consider-
able number of hands to complete them within tie time spe-
cified. The unfortunate strike of the working
England, it appears,
-Ls been taken advantage of by the
large establish
establishments at
Liege, Verviers, Muns, and others
in Belgium and in France,h as they engineers in
have increased the num-
ber of workmen to finish orders that evidently would have
been given to the London, Birmingham, Manchester, and
other extensive firms.

The millers of Stourbridge have been "at play',
for a fortnight, in consequence of the masters' demand of a
reduction of 10 per cent. in wages.
APPLICATION OF THE THERMOMETER. —Dr. Spur-
gin, who is always inventing or contriving something new,
has formed a neat little instrument for ascertaining the
amount of increase of temperature of the various internal or-
gans of the body under inflammation, as compared with those
that are not, and the like in fever, where different organs
are hotter than others As far as e has tried it, the results
are curious and valuable. It is merely a thermometer fixed
in a hollow cone, so that the bulb can rest on the part of the
body nearest to the inflamed organ, and the heat collected
all around it; and the Dr. has even detected one part of the
brain hotter than another under fever, and applied leeches
accordingly with
good effect in reduction of the fever in
general.— The Builder.
DEATH OF SIR WM. N. NAPIER, BART.--ThiS
Hon. Baronet died at his seat, Blillikin, Haddingtonshire,
on Thursday,lBl7, and
in his 64th year. He succeeded to the title in
married in 1815, Elizabeth Christian, fifth daugh-
ter of John Stirling, Esq., by whom he has left issue Robert
John, now Sir
Robert Napier, and other children.
A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.—A horrible accident has
happened at Mayence. A party of Austrian sappers, on
leaving their work in the passages under the fortifications,
locked in one of their comrades by mistake. On his non-ap-
pearance it was supposed he had deserted, and no search was
made in the excavation& The place was not opened until
six days afterwards, and the man was found still alive,
though he had bitten the flesh off his arms in hunger and
madness. He died a few hoars afterwards.
