only the friend, but ultimately the martyr. (Great
cheering.) I may now, therefore, acknowledge that
the task which the Government of the United States
bad to perform was a totally different task from,
and a much more difficult task than, we had to per-
form when, more than thirty years ago, we abolished
slavery in the West India Islands ; not having that
slavery mixed up with our own domestic institutions,
not involved and twisted into all our relations,
whether political or social, but merely looking upon
it as a question of the liberation of mankind—as a
religious question imposed upon us by our adherence
to Christianity. I am now persuaded that Mr.
Lincoln did all it was possible to do, and we are
bound to give our tribute of admiration to the ex-
cellent part Mr. Lincoln and thelGovernment took,
which has ended in the entire liberation of the
slaves. (Cheers). The noble earl went on to say
that old animosities have departed from us, and that
we can take part with Americans in the celebration
of the 4th of July, as much rejoicing in the free
I institutions of America. (Cheers, and cries of

" Bravo !")
Mr. MILL confined himself to making one or two
moral reflections upon the teaching of the American
conflict, by the result of which not only the slaves
but the mind of the nation has become free.
(Cheers.)
The address was then put to the meeting, carried
with acclamation, and presented to
Mr. GARRISON, who rose to reply, and was most
enthusiastically received. He spoke at great length,
recounting his struggles, difficulties, and dangers in
the advocacy of abolition in America. The ex-
pressions of goodwill uttered that day would be
heartily reciprocated by his countrymen. He dis-
claimed the praise that had been showered upon
him. He had visited England in 1833 to unde-
ceive Mr. Wilberforce and others as to the tendency
of the American Colonisation Society. On one
occasion Mr. Buxton invited a party to meet him as
" the black advocate of emancipation"—(laughter)
—and that was the only compliment he could re-
member as paid to him during his advocacy. In
1864 he found his old prison at Baltimore had been
pulled down ; and Mr. Lincoln, to whom he told
this, said the difference between 1830 and 186-1 was
that in the former year he could not get out, and in
the latter hecould not get in. Referring to his own
purposes in the struggle, he said, where the standard
was justice and the faith firm, because linked to
the eternal Throne, the question of success was only
a question of time. (Cheers.) He defended the
policy of the Northern States during the war, and
said that Earl Russell had reached a sublime alti-
tude by his manly confession of error. In conclu-
sion, he warmly advocated friendship between Eng-
land and the United States, and was loudly cheered.
Mr. G. Thompson, Mr. Stansfeld, and others
spoke briefly, and the proceedings closed with a
vote of thanks to the chairman.

Death of Professor Trousseau.

---

The great Trousseau is no more. This illustrious
physician, who had been suffering for some time
from a cancerous disease of the stomach, died on

Sunday, the 23d, at the comparatively early age of
sixty-six. To the last he preserved all his lucidity
of mind, and whilst all around him were overwhelmed
with grief he was full of peace and resignation. It

is said that he studied upon himself the progress of
his disease, following with the most scrupulous
clinical accuracy all the phases of the malady, and
predicting with his usual composure the time
when the morbid action would have completed its
final work ; daily and almost hourly noting the vari-
ous symptoms which are to follow their due succes•
sion until checked by the merciless hand of death.
M. Trousseau was buried with great simplicity ;
according to his expressed wish, no discourses were
delivered at his funeral, which took place at the

Madeleine. The place was so crowded that numbers

could not penetrate, and were compelled to remain
without. Amid the inimens 3 concourse of people

who accompanied hint to his last abode iu the Pere
LachaLe were to b 3 observed the whole body of the
Faculty, and a large deputation from the Academy
of Medicine, in official attire; all the scientific nota-
bilities of Paris, and a considerable number of medi-
cal men and students. The grief which was de-

pi3ted on the countenances of all who were pre-
sent showed how deeply the death of M. Trousseau
is felt, not only by his professional brethren, but by

the public at large.

Contemporary medicine has lost in M. Trous-
seau one of its most eminent representatives,
and the French profession in particular one ofit:
brightest ornaments. Endowed with the highest
abilities and the most varici aptitudes, M. Tfous.

seau had risen to the loftiest distinction in the dif-
ferent pursuits and avocations to which he applied
himself during the course of his brilliant career. His
fame was equally great as a professor; as a writer,
as an orator, and as a physician. His teaching at
the Faculty, during the time he occupied the chair
of Therapeutics, was one of unexampled success.
No man ever possessed a richer fund of knowledge
in this particular department than the deceased. Of
an active and ingenious mind he had upturned the
whole field of therapeutical research, and had left no
corner unexplored. Intent with the desire of devis-

jug more efficacious means of cure, lie submitted to
the test of his own experience not only the vaunted
remedies of the ancients, but all modern therapeuti-
cal discoveries, foreign as well as French, and en-
riched this particular branch of science with the
fruits of his observation and genius. He was there-
fore admirably fitted to fill this chair at the Faculty.
And if it be remembered what additional interest
the charm of his oratory must have lent to his lec-
tures we can easily understand the enthusiasm with
which theze lectures are still spoken of. As much
may be said uf his clinical teaching at the `►lotelllieu.
We have just alluled to his abilities as an orator :
none who have had occasion to hear either his lec-
tures at the Hotel Dieu or at the Faculty, and his
harangues at the Academy of Medicine, will ever
forget the power of language, the peculiar charm of
diction, the richness and happiness of expression,
and the artistic arrangement of words and ideas
with which he invariably seduced and captivated his

audience.
M. Trousseau has sent forth to the world a host
of well-informed and talented physicians, trained
by his teachings in the lecture-room and the hospi-
tal, as also by his example. The deceased was
never deterred by an extensive and almcst Euro-
pean practice from devoting a portion of his time
to instruction and the advancemJnt of science.
Ilis earlier friends, Bretonnean and Resamier,
guided and sustained his first steps ; and never did
Trousseau forget how much he was indebted to
them. When he had reached the pinnacle of fame
he was then most conspicuous for the helping hand
he held out to all who needed assistance and en-
couragement.
Thus disappear one after another men who have
shed lustre on the Faculty of Paris; Chomel,
Itostan, Jobcrt de Lamballe have passed away ;
and, from that splendid phalanx of eminent profes-
sors who have spread the fame of the Paris school
far and wide, only two still active and energetic
men are left standing, like handsome pillars in a
Greek ruin—V elpeau on the surgical, and Bouil-
laud on the medical side. Andral and Cruveilnier
work no more, but are resting upon their well-
earned laurels; whilst h•eyer somewhat holds his
ground in spite of age, displaying at timesconsider-
able energy where works of benevolence are con-
corned.—The Lancet.
