lowing is an 'Abstract:—
" The number of students in the faculty of medicine
during the present session is 172, of whom 50 have been
enrolled for the first time, which is an increase of 17 •
new students as compared with last year.
" The report referred to the lamented decease of Mr.
Durance George, the late lecturer on dental surgery.
" Also that the college had received, as a portion of
the Liam-lax:I tt stimonial, a bust in marble by Thomas
Campbell, presented by the committee, who have also
directed a gold medal to be struck and given as an annual
prize in sot fiery to the students of the hospital attached
so the college.
" The eutjeet of ophthalmic surgery appeared to the
authorities of the college to possess so much importance,
as to require it to be treated in a course of Isctures de-
voted expressly to the subjecr. A chair of ophthalmic
medicine and surgery had accordingly been 'recently
established bo the council in this institution, whose ',ride
it has always been to t ke a lead in the improvement of
medic:l education in Eogland, and where special pro-
fessorships of comparative anatomy, pathological
ameorny, and clinical surgery had their origin.
" The report 11 furred to the success of the students ot
the college in the wide field of competition offered to

oven the medics! candidates, nine have been taken by

on proceeding thither, found the body
of a respectable man
in the passage of No. 15 quite warm. They took him on a
stretcher to the station-house, where it was found that life
was extinct. The body is that of a man about forty, stout,
dark hair and whiskers, clad in a superior manner in drab
over coat, silk waistcoat with brown spot, dark brown trou-
sers, and black necktie. From peculiar appearances on the
body, and the evident proofs that the person had been plun-
dered, it is strongly suspected the untor.unate man was in-
veigled by some low women into one of the dens abounding
in the vicinity, and, having been hocussed and plundered,
was then dragged in a state of insensibility, and left to die
where the police found him, in a narrow unfrequented court.
