BARTHOLOMENWS HOSPITAL.

A schism has lately manifested itself among the students
of anatomy at this hospital, occasioned by the appoint-
ment of Mr. Wormald to the situation of sole Demonstra-
tor of Anatomy, that gentleman having heretofore held
that office jointly with Mr. Skey. A portion of the pupils
seem to consider that the latter gentleman has been rather
Is rshly treated, and attribute his dismission to personal
animosity on the part of Mr. Stanley, the Lecturer on
Anatomical Science. Without offering any opinion of our
own on this point, we may mention that personal motives
of this nature have been diredly imputed to Mr. Stanley
by Mr. Skey, in a letter published in the Lancet; and it
is there stated that the origin of this ill-feeling was the
expression of an opinion by the latter gentleman that Mr.
Lawrence was the person most eminently qualified to fol-
low in the path of Mr. Abernethy, and succeed him in
his public appointments, one of them being the situation
which Mr. Stanley now fills. Yesterday was the day ap-
pointed by Mr. Stanley for the delivery of his introductory
lecture, and a general expectation prevailed that the op-
portunity would be seized on to acquaint that gentleman
with the feelings of the pupils on the subject. Accord-
ingly, upon Mr. Stanley's entering the class-room, he was
assailed by a volley of hisses, which was, however, im-
' mediately followed by still more powerful rounds of ap-
plause. When the contending factions had somewhat
expended their force, the lecture commenced, and was
listened to with attention from beginning to end. At its
conclusion, the same scene of confusion which attended
the first appearance of Mr. Stanley was renewed. The
lecturer, who was about to retire, immediately returned,
resumed his place, and said that if any of the pupils were
dissatisfied with the arrangements which he had made, in
concurrence with the rules established by the Governors,
and with the entire concurrence of the whole of the me.
dical officers of the institution, he would be most happy
to afford them every assistance iu obtaining such instruc-
tion as would be more satisfactory to them. He further
observed, that he was responsible for giving the students
the means of gaining the fullestknowledge of the science
of anatomy ; but to those who were not disposed to rest
upon his pledge, he expressed his readiness to return the
fees paid by them. These observations were addressed ex.
elusively to the pupils who bad entered his class; those
who had not done so, he contended, bad nothing to com-
plain of, since they need not be bound by his arrangements.
If they were not pleased with them, other schools and
other modes of instruction were open, to which they might
resort. This statement was received with mingled applause
and disapprobation, in the midst of which Mt. Stanley
bowed and withdrew, and thus the matt,r rests for the
present.
