NEW STRAN-13THEATRE.
A little comedy, called d Woman's Revenge, pro-
duced at the Olympic Theatre during the manage-
ment of Madame Vestris, is now being played at
this theatre, with a view to bring out Mrs. Glover in
a character in which she formerly made a sensation.
The talent which she displayed in the times to which
we refer is as vigorous now as ever, and the revival,
therefore, possesses all the interest that originally at-
tached to it. This well-conducted little house is
thriving, we have reason to believe, under the present
governance of Mr. Farren ; and the perpetual recur-
rence of novelty, combined with an excellent working
company, is more than sufficient to account fur this
unusual state of prosperity.

STORE-STREET ROOMS.
Mr. Love, the polyphonist, gave one of his amusing
entertainn.ents, at the Store-street Rooms, on
Monday evening, and had what he always well de-
serves, a large attendance of visitors. As a ventrilo-
quist this gentleman has never had a superior ; and
tew can rival his zoological imitations. His dramatic
sketch, entitled Love's Labour Lost, is a remarkable
instance of rapidity in changing, not only the charac-
teristics of speech, but of person, and as a piece of
polyphonic ability is literally perfect. The "por-
traits," which form the subjects of the first part, de-
velop a similar amount of quickness and ingenuity in
the arts of bodily and vocal illusion.

SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT. BERWICK,
MONDAY.—A very deplorable accident happened yes-
terday afternoon, near Belfont station, on the Newcastle
and Berwick Railway, by which a gentleman named
Hobson (formerly in the service of the late Duke of
Northumterland and Earl Grey) met with his death.
Mr. Robson had, it appeared, arrived at the station in
his gig, and was attempting to cross the metals, whe❑
the down mail-train from London came up, and although
the engine-driver used every effort to prevent a catas-
trophe, he was unable to check the train, and the un-
fortunate gentleman was knocked down, the whole of
the carriages passing over his body; so frightful was the
mutdatio❑ of his body that identity was difficult. Ile
was highly esteemed in the county. An inquest was
held o❑ his remains, when it being clearly shown that
no blame was attached to any of the railway officers, a
verdict of " Accidental death" was returne I.

THE HUNTERIAN OftATlON.—People of England !
Downfall of the Medical Profession.—Fellow Country-
men,—All hygeists will be glad to learn that the medical
profession is on its last legs. The f 'Rowing gratifying
announcement was made by Mr. Skey, on delivering the
Hunterian Oration, on Thursday, the 14th of February,
1850, and reported in the Medical Times, page 111 :
" With large resources, the profession of medicine is at
the present time a degenerate science. The rank of a
select few may yet remain, but the profession has ceased
to be sustained to the level of its real value by the voice
of the public." Hurrah ! ! It is to be hoped that
young men will no longer waste their time and money
by entering such a worthless profession, which even one
of its own professors is forced thus to speak of.—Yours,
&c., The Members of the British College of Health, New-
road, London, February 19, 1860.
