THE NERVES OF THE EAR.—Mr. Curtis, a few days
since, gave a clinical lecture on this subject at the Royal Dispensary
for the Diseases of the Ear. The lecturer stated that within the last
thirty years more had been effected for the cure of diseases of the
ear than had been done during the last 500 years, and mentioned the
fact that now many cases are admitted ofrelief which were formerly
beyond the reach of medical art. He traced the course of the
acoustic nerves from their origin at the base of the brain to their
termination, showing their ramifications and distribution, and ex-
plained how these nerves were effected and deafness relieved by
rubbing stimulating liniments on the nape of the Reck and spine.
These applications he considers of great use in cases of infant deaf
and dumb (dumbness being the sure concomitant of deafness in in -
fancy), and says they should always be tried where no structural
defect arises.
WASHINGTON, MARCH 31, 1846.—War I—Ann !
Arm I—lt is, it is the Cannon's Opening War—Follow up your
Charge—Cry, down with England. Harry, and St. George—Call the
Roll, " War is inevitable!" General Cass has been making us au-
other war speech. For upwards of two hours be poured forth a
stream of facts, figures, tropes, similes, metaphors, illustrations,
quotations, authorities, incidents, poetry, rhetoric, argument—
such a miscellaneous, homogeneous stream of beautiful images, and
horrid phantoms, and dazzling bubbles, as we have not heard
for many many a long day. It was a beautiful speech —it
was more —it was a powerful speech a patriotic speech a
great speech. He bound the grim visage of war in evergreens, and
put such a display of shining drapery around the old heathen, that
he really looked like a passable sort of imposter. The General pre-
sented him with the strongest credentials ; but it was clear the Sena-
tors around had no desire to cultivate the acquaintance of the
stranger. But old Mars was there, the god of war, and a sensible
aroma of gunpowder pervaded the atmosphere in his presence. Ile

towering aloft in height, and expanding in his proportions, as
the Senator continued to speak ; so that, at the conclusion, the shoul-
ders of the war god were against the sky-light, and his head outside,
overlooking the country around.—New York Herald.
