devoted by all the
wag not equal to the ,
dent medical officer.
:Jr. LEWIS referred ts.
the rules of the Metropoli-
tan pispensary, Cripplegste, ;and the Aldeiagate-
, street Dispensary, to show that the principle he
contended for was recognised in the practice of those
institutions. He added, that tsroughout England and
Wales there were only two oisdensaries where the
resident medical officers were pea nitted to engage in
private practice.
Mr. Har'SCH said he wad obliged to keep an
assistant—indeed he was boun I to keep one.
Mr. Lawis rejoined that Mr. Hentsch received a
certain salary for dispensing, and if he kept an assist-
ant that was his own affair.
Mr. FRANKS explained that Mr. Ilentsch'r, salary
had been raised from 1001. to 1301. upon his own
application, in consideration of the numerous duties
he had to perform; but the 301. increase was granted
solely for the payment of an assistant.
Mr. Lisnartsos hinted that the motion was attri-
butable to a feeling of jealousy.
Mr. Lawis warmly repelled the insinuation. He
declared that he entertained no jealousy whatever,
and his sole motive for supporting the motion was
that the surgeons should receive assistance in the
discharge of their arduous duties. M
in r. Franks him-
self had agitated the principle committee.
Mr. FRANKS explained that that referred only to
cases of emergency, where the patients from any came
could not be visited by the surgeon of the day.
Mr. HENTSCH again denied that he had ever offered
to undertake the out duty on condition of receiving
the surgeon's salary. He had certainly offered to
discharge it when the institution was placed in a
very extraordinary position by the resignation of all
its medical officers. Mr. Watson, knowing that,
asked him if he would again undertake the duty
provided the surgeons gave up their salaries to him.
His reply was that he should have no objection to
try, but he could not do the work alone, and the
money would enable him to take an assistant; but he
had certainly, never made an offer upon the rumple
condition of receiving the surgeon's salary. He asked
Mr. Watson whether this was not the truth ?
Mr. WATSON said Mr. Hentsch had stated he could
not do the duty alone; but as to an assistant he (Mr.
Watson) heard nothing.
After a few more words from Mr. Franks, the mo-
tion was put and lost by a majority of one, the num-
bers being three for, and four against.
The Committee and other officers for the ensuing
year were then appointed, and the proceedings ter-
minated.

THE IVEATHER AND THE PA RKS.
The thermometer yesterday rose, at one period, as
high as 41 degrees, whilst, during Monday night, it
sunk as low as 24 degrees, considerably below
freezing poillt. The barometer, at six o'clock last
evening, stood at the Royal Humane Society's re-
ceiving-hou,e, in Hyde-park, at 30.32, and the wind
remained in nearly the same quarter as it was the
previous day. The different carriage roads leading
into the metropolis were extremely dangerous, and it
was with difficulty that horses drawing vehicles could
proceed along. This was especially the case at
Holborn and Snow Hills, as well as at the approaches
to the different metropolitan bridges. At Waterloo-
bridge, and the road leading to it from the York
Hotel, the thoroughfares looked like glass, the water
caused by the thaw the previous day having been
frozen in the night, so that it was found imprac-
ticable for any of the omnibuses or other conveyances
going to the South-Western Railway to cross the
water. Gravel was, therefore, plentifully scattered
over the road and bridge, and by that means the
traffic was resumed. The same was obliged to be
done on several other main lines of road in London.
The following is the return of the number of sliders
ard skaters yesterdiiy upon the several ornamental
waters of the royal parks:—
ST. JAMES'S PARK.-The ice about two inches in
thickness, but still very dangerous, the glass here
varying during the after part of the day from 34 to 32
degrees. About 6,000 persons amused themselves by
sliding and skating. Mr. Frederick Symes, of Fish-
street-hill, whilst sliding, fell upon, it is believed, the
point of a skate, by which he was so severely cut
that it is feared he will lose the sight of one, if not
both eyes. Not a single immersion took place.
THE SERPENTINE, HYDE PAR Y.—Upwards Of
3,000 persons amused themselves on the ice, including
several members of the Skating Club. The ice was
returned as being 2k inches thick, but on account of
the many springs in the river is still very dangerous.
THE LONG WATER, KENSINGTON GARDENS.—
The ice here was 2i inches thick, and the number of
skakers and sliders (including a great many members
of the Skating Club), 1,500.
THE ROUND POND, OPPOSITE KENSINGTON
PALACE.—The ice on this point was 2-4- inches in
thickness. Sliders and skaters, 1,000. No accidents.
THE REGENT'S PARIC.—The ice very dangerous,
being not more than two inches thick. About twelve
thousand skaters and sliders, but no accidents. The
men of the Royal Humane Society, under the direc-
tion of Mr. Charlier, the secretary, and Mr. Super-
intendent Williams, rendered essential aid to the
pnblic by pointing out the most dangerous places upon
the ice, which prevented many accidents.
VICTORIA PAR/T.—Since Sunday the ornamental
waters have been frozen over, and a large number of
persons have daily collected for the exercise of
skating. It may not be generally known that the
waters of this park are not so deep, and consequently
not so dangerous, as those at St. James's and Hyde
Parks. We believe, in the centre of the channel, the
depth is not more than five feet. On the large space
round the Chinese Pagoda, two or three thousand
human beings were sporting away yesterday after-
noon. On the bathing water, situate at the extreme
eastern end of the park, a more select company was
assembled. The only accident that took place hap-
pened on Sunday afternoon, when a number of
Dutchmen went on the ice. A crowd of spectators
followed them, and the weak part by the shore gave
way, and nearly a dozen unlucky creatures hail a
ducking. Nothing serious, however, occurred.

" THE WILMINGTON s."—The new story, by the
author of " Emilia Wyndham," just published, under
the title of " The Wiluaingtons," is one of those graphic
expositions of human life for which this gifted writer
has obtained such celebrity. It is a tale of high prin-
ciple, filial devotion being contrasted with that selfish-
ness, in the pursuit of wealth, which is so often found de-
vclGping itself at the expense of every natural sym-
pathy. The characters of a father and a son thus finely
contrasted ale introduced in one of the most touching
narratives that have issued from the press for many
years. A great success is likely to attend this re-
'utilisable production, which will add to the well•earned
fame of the author of " Two Old Men's Tales" and
Eulilia Wyndham."—Evening Paper.
FORENSIC ELOQUENCE IN AmEnica.---The follow-
ing "burst of elcqui nee" was delivered before a court of
justice in Pennsylvania:—" Your Honour sits high on
the adorable seat of justice, like the Asiatic rock of
Gibraltar, while the eternal streams of justice, like the
cadaverous clouds of the valley, flow meandering at
y our toot."
