THE MEDICAL REFORM BILL.

The Medical Bill cf Mr. Cowper, as amended in com-
mittee let Tuesday, has been reprinted with the amend-
ments of Mr. Walpole. Those amendments Mr. Cowper
readily adopted as improvements to the measure. Ac•
cording to the bill as it now stands, there is no alteration
in the constitution of the council proposed by Mr.
Cowper, except that the pre llent is to be appointed by
the Crown, a id the members of the general council are
to be chosen for a term not exceeding five ye .re, and
stall be capable cf re-appointment. The powers cf the
general council are altered, they are not so extensive as
was proposed in the original bill, and their acts will be
subject to the control of the Privy CJuncil instead of the
Home Secretary.

After the passing of the bill, all persona 54/pi-in; 10 be
registered must give proof f.o the that their quail-
ficatione •xter:d h_th to medicine and surgery. Power
is given to tile council to require from the diff•reut exa-
minkg bodies a statement of the courses of study re-
quired of candidate,, and of the Examinations, and it bas
power to send inspectors to be present at the various
eximieationp.

Pow&r is alio given to the council, on representation
t the Privy Course 1, to suspend the right to bo
Wed under the act of any person who obtains a degree
or diplotha horn any body, where it is proved that a
prootr examination has not been conducted t 3 test the
profcesional qualifications cf candidates. The bill also
provides for the enforcing a preliminary examitiation in
general education, of all those commencing the study of
medicine, and for the publication of a complete register,
in alphia etical order, of all the duly qualified pnicti-
Voners.

Tte otter &awes of the bill are similar to those origi-
nally propo-ed by Mr. Cowper. The bill is ordered to
be rec onmittel on Thursday ntx::, with a certainty of
passirig with 'scarcely an alteraion. The opposi ion to
the measure is now, we b reserved until it goes
up to tt, House cf Lords, where its opprinsnts believe
they may snouted in de eating its progress. The ques-
tion of Medical Rtforra was never before in so favour-
able a pisition, and it will be the fault of medical men if
it is not settled this session. Petitions are txpec'ed to
be preeuted to both Houses of Patliatuent in its
favour.
