MINISTERIAL WHITEBAIT DINNER

The Ministerial party, numbering forty-eight members
of the Disraeli Administration, left Westminster Bridge
on Wednesday evening, at ten minutes past seven, by a
gaily-decorated Citizen steamer, for the Trafalgar, at
Greenwich, to enjoy the whitebait dinner. The Premier,
on walking acress the Speaker's garden to join his
colleagues at the river side,was recognised by the immense
crowd who took up position on the bridge to witness
the departure, and the cheering which his presence
elicited was hearty and long-continued. While the little
steamer was getting under way the crowd so increased
that the traffic became suspended, and there were renewed
cheers.

Of the Cabinet Ministers the Earl of Malmesbury was
the only absentee, the Lord Privy Seal having some days
before the whitebait festival was fixed issued invitations
to a banquet at his own residence. On disembarking at
the Greenwich Pier Mr. Disraeli received another
ovation ; and while the wearied administrators were
enjoying the good cheer of the Trafalgar, and no
doubt discussing the varied difficulties which beset their
course during a session of more than ordinary labour and
anxiety, considerable crowds remained outside the hotel,
occt sionally re-echoing the genial " hip, hip, hurrahs"
with which the customary toasts and the presentation of
the testimonial to the last nominated member of the
Administration were welcomed. It was close upon
midnight before " the party " returned to town, all well
plec'ged to cordial union with their chief, and anxious for
the termination of that parliamentary toil which will
enable them to join in the long-expected " appeal to the
country."

THE LATE D. STE VENS.--It becomes our duty to
record in this week's Herald the death of a gentleman who
wade for himself a name not only in this locality, where he
wel well known, but in the wide world of science also ; we
allude to William Stevens, 31. D., D.C.L., formerly of the
Island of St. Croix and of this City. Dr. Stevens was a very
,minent physiologist, and recognised as a man of excep-
tional acquirements by the ablest men of his day. In 1834
tee was chosen by the University of Oxford on the inaugura-
ion as Chancellor of the Duke of Wellington as one of the
three members of the medical profession to whom the
rionorary degree of D.C.L. was awarded in convocation, the
other members of the triumvirate being J. H. Hume, M.D.,
and Sir Astley Cooper, M.D. 'rho Magistrates of the ,1
county of Middlesex awarded Dr. Stevens a vote of thanks
and presented him with a piece of plate of the value of a
kindred guineas, as an expression of gratitude for his
valuable services in combating the cholera in the county
prison of Coldbath Fields; and King Christian VIII. of
Denmark in admiration of his genius and in requital of his
valuable services rendered in the Danish West Indies be-
stowed upon him a princely gift. The mode of treatment
tdopted by Dr. Stevens in cases of cholera is now acknow-
ledged to have been founded upon a most enlightened view
of the diagnosis of that terrible disease. His writings upon
liseases of the blood will always be recognised by the pro-
'ession, and ho leaves a monument of his research in the
Nell-known remedy for all affections of the kind sold every-
where as "Lamplough's Pyretic Saline." Dr. Stevens ha 1
cached the iatriarchal age of 82. A genius, a philosopher,
nd a man of strong and original thought, he lived down
mejudices, and had the pleasuro of seeing his theories
!arried into practice by men who were at ono time a little
oo willing to cry him down.—Worcester Herald.

Cholera is reported to have broken out amongst
;he pilgrims to the shrine of Juggernath. A con-
siderable number is said to have perished. Medicines
were being distributed gratis to the crowds demand
ing relief.—,Englishman.
