THE CHEVALIERD'EON NOT

DEAD?

" Your Excellency must have yourself observed that
the recal of Lord Cowley has been formally pointed out,
if not called for, by the principal organ of public opi-
nion."—Lefter from London to M. Guizot, Paris.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—l have read that the Chevalier D'Eon died in
London many years since ; I begin to fancy the report
must be false. Do you think it probable that the old
woman is still living, but under an assumed name ?
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.
The Medical Times states that the following modifica-
tions are to be introduced into the Charter recently
granted to the College of Surgeons :--
I st. All members, now and for the future, of ten or
fifteen years standing, whether practising pharmacy or
not, are to be fellows, tilso facto, and to have the plenary
power of electing the governing body of the College.
2,11 y. Gentlemen practising midwifery will be eligible
to be on the Council, which in future is always to be
composed of a certain number of gentlemen practising in
that department of the profession.
3dly. The Court of Examiners will be partially com-
posed of surgeon-acconcheurs ; and examinations in
midwifery will form for the future an integral part of the
surgical candidate's examinations.
4thly. Some new arrangement will be proposed, by
which will be removed the barrier which now prevents
surgeons practising pharmacy from ever Bitting on the
Council.
sthly. The Fellows will take seniority in the order of
their standing, as members of the College ; and may pro-
-1 p ,se, without reference to any list of precedence, any
eligible member as candidate, to fill any vacancies in the
Council.
These modifications, which are to be embodied in a
supplementary charter, have been recently under the
consideration of the College Council. It is said that Sir
James Graham acquiesces in the necessity of some modi-
cations of the charter.
