TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES
FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR.
All who are professionally conversant with the condition of our
Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as
an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du-
ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the
nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults of those on
whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen-
dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac-
ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt-
ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral.
ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they
recei:•e while in the hospital. . . . .

It 3,3 also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is fount'

in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private
families, especially in those 01 the middle and lower classes; and
parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom
they could rely, in vistin, the sick of their respective parishes, and
administering to their bodily* wants.
The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these
evils, is to train np a body of nurses who shall be taught to look
upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of
self-contro', and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for
its trying and painful duties.
'i he w.mt here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as

in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of
persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Boman
Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found
useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of
professional nursis has worked beneficiaily in England. The Insti-
tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training
Institution for Nurse," will be based on the doctrine and discipline
of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object,
not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom
front other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea-
vouring to act, boils directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of
persons wls are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To
raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training
which shall quality Minn tor their professional work, and be at the
saute time essentially a religious training; to hold out, to those who
are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professions
position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to
those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give
themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of
labour: these are the means which, as they have been successful
in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng-
land, may, it is hoped, be now instrumental, under God's blessing,
ill raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of
improvement.
It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the
immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of
England and Ireland, as Master.
That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three
Classes :

1. Those under training as probationers.
2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa-
tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging
to continue in connexion with tile Institution for a period of five
years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed
and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return
will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In-
stitution.
At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from
the institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and
thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the
Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be-
lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually
raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi-
cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be
likely to set an example wide) can scarcely fail to have a good effect
upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this
as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them-
selves to the training of this Institution.
3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in-
tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are
willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and
poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like
that which Kill be here provided for them.
The management of the Institution will be confided to a council
of twenty-tour members, (exclusive cf the master, who will be
ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England
and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their
own body.
A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments
within four years, er an annual subscription of five guineas, will con-
stitute a Governor.
A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay-
ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas,
will constitute a Donor.
The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub-
mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President
of the Institution.
It has alio •received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of
York, and the Bishops of Lielifield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol,
Ripon, and Norwich.
The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr.
Latham,' have kindly consented' to act as Trustees to the Insti-
tution.
henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer.

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL.
It may with truth be averred, that ROWLANDS' MAC AS-
SAR OIL has enjoyed an extent of patronage and public favour dur
ing the last half century which is totally unexampled in the annals
of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal-
gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re-
nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish-
ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates
its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nouri,hes the Hair
in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, accelerates
its growth; sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of
healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest
period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and
Mustachois, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations. For Chil-
dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau-
tiffil Head of Hair, and rendering, the use of the fine comb urine-
Mealy.
Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of
her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the whole of the Royal Family
of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civilised world ; and the
high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous
Testimonials constantly received ,of its efficacy, afford the best and
surest proofs of its merits.

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-

and,broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness

tlement. Honour end justice demand that health should form an item

Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter,
M.R.C.8.L., for 1848.
"I have now for thirteen years conducted the Exeter HygeiturDii-
ponsary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood.havebeen
treated gratuitously with :sir. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine
of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my
opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in
hundreds), that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. The cases
which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of.
a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos-
pitals at Exeter, it bejng only after trying all sorts of treatment that
patients hays recourse, as ti last rerort, to the Hy4eian medicines.
The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my
book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300
poor patients during the past year, and I have now about 150 on the
Dispensary books. In conclusion, I beg to return my sincere thanks
to the subscribers to the Dispensary.

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-
road, London.—The principles of thC Ilygelan theory are con-
tained in the following propositions :-1. The vital principle is con-
tained In the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the
blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases
arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in otter words, from acri-
monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de-
generates the Wpod, has three sources —tlio maternine, the conta-
gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin,
and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation
by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradi-
cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply
proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to
be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion
subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of theone must
conduce to the serenity of the other.

Tall INDIAN MAILS.—The apprehensions relative
to the fate of our outward Indian mail have, we believe,
induced the Lords of the Admiralty to take into con-
sideration the best means of securing our Indian
correspondence for the future. We have reason to be-
lieve that their Lordships are about to order one of the
best steamers to proceed direct to Malta to meet the
mails which were to leave Hong-Kong on the 31st Jan.,
Calcutta the Bth, and Bombay the 16th of February, and
to convey them direct to Southampton. Lieutenant,

HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool there was a de-
cline yesterday of about id. per lb. Sales, 2,500 bales,
of which 2,000 were American, at 4id. per lb. Railway
Shares had been affected by the general panic. North
Western fell 10-1. per share, and Midland 61.
We have had an opportunity of inspecting the news-
papers from various parts of the continent, and in none
of them does there appear to be any political intelli-
gence of striking interest, although the condition of the
markets for the Public Securities was extremely agitated,
even where the extent of the French Revolution had
not become known. Belgian Stock had suffered most,
although all was quiet up to the latest accounts from
Antwerp, notwithstanding the agitation in the frontier
towns of France.
The resumption of trade in France is likely to be very
slow, but the postal communication is again in opera-
tion; and it has been officially intimated to our Govern-
ment, that the India mail has been safely forward on
through France.
The abandonment of the income-tax has given much
satisfaction; and it is hoped that if taxes must hereafter
be levied, for a present n, 2; 3is not-admitted, the
upper classes will offer no opposition to contribute from
their fixed " property."
The letters received from New York state that the
shipments of flour had been very small during the pre-
vious ten days. The decline in prices in England was
expected to prevent further exports to any extent at
present.
There has been, as might be expected, a great deal
of fluctuation again in the Funds. Consols have ranged
from 83 to 81i for present transfer, and from 83k to 81i
for account, being now about 81$ Exchequer-bills
have realised 4s .to 12s. prem. Bank Stock has been
190 to 195. The New Three-and-a-Quarter Cents. have
realised 824 to 84.
The settlement in the Foreign Market has come so
soon upon the late tremendous fall in prices, that no
less than five brokers and Jobbers have failed. The fall
since the panic commenced has been 5 to 7 per cent. in
the different securities. Spanish Active Bonds are 14
to 14i, and the Three per Cents. 24 to 27. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have realised 17 to 19, and Brazilian
75. Mexican have been 17 and 15. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 45.
Railway Shares are still very depressed, especially
the French lines, but sellers are not so pressing.
