Alarming News !—Friday week the Senates
Academicus, of Edinburgh gave a license to ninety.
three more gentleman to practise the art of me-
dicine! Nineteen of then) were Scotsmen,
thirty-seven from England and Wales', twenty-six
from Ireland, ten from the West Indies, and
one from America.

DETESTA nt.E INHUMANITY.—LateIy, two fine
horses were stolen from T. 11. Dux N, Esq. of this town.—
On Saturday
.morning the horses were -brought home in -a
most distressing. condition. One, a white, had been lite-
rally steeped in vitriolic acid, or some liquid of that charac-
ter; and such was the violence of the application that the
animal will lose the greater part of his hair, if no greater
misfortune attends him. The skin appears to be drawn ug
almost to a crisp. The other horse, an elegant sorrel, had his
mane and tail drenched with the same liquid, and the hair will
no doubt all come out.—This is one of the most inhuman
acts we ever heard of, and should be amply punished if
there is any law to meet the case, provided the perpetrators can
be discovered. As yet they have eluded ,the vigilance of just.
tire, but it is to be hoped they will not entirely escape. It-is
a little singular, that 'in at least pine cases,out of ten, Mr.
Dunn, die owner of the above horses, has been retained as coun-
sel for the criminals in the various proseClitiOns 3110 bpve
taken place before our courts ; and yet these wretches have
selected him, as the first individual, within our knowledge,
upon whose property this species of demoniac violence has been
inflicted. The zeal, ardour, and ability alwals displayed by
Mr.. D. in the cause of his clients, entitled him to abetter fate.
