LY.CTLIRES ON TIM. EAU.—On Teeiday Mr. Curtis.c.om-
meneed his -autumnal course of lectures on the anatomy, .
physiology, and pathology of the ear, at the Royal Diepenee.ei
sary for Diseases of the Ear, Dean=strect,,Soho--square. lie
began by remarking the rapid progress that had been made
in aural surgery since the year 1811, when the Royal Dispen-
sary was established by his •exertions, in conjunction with
those of the first men in the medical profession. He pointed
out the benefits both to the public and to the profession.
arising from the more complete division' of medical labour
that has of late taken place, daily praetice _and observation
exerted upon similarsubjeets invariably leading to excellence
and perfection.- The .ear, long one of the most neglected
organs in the animal ^eel) norny has now begun to attraOt *
large share of .the attentiOn.of -rnedietaternen; and Mr. Curti*" -

judicious use of local and constitutional remedies, he has also '-
been enahLei to cure otorrhma, a complaint which is always
unpleasant; and when accompanied with caries of the bones,
often proves fatal. The lecturer concluded by observing that
amid the contentions of eager and- rival practitioners; it was
an unfeigned source of satisfaction to hini to-know that dnr-
ring the last four and twenty,years he had; whether tlieure-
tically right or wrong, been the humble 'means of restoring
to many thousands of his-fellow creatures the enjoyment of
the inestimable sense of hearing, and that of the many thou-
sands whom he had attended at the Dispensary, not one.had
ever been injured by the plan of treatment pursued. He
mentioned also-that he had that morning seen no less than
116 patients,afflieted with deafness, and other diseases of
the ear.—Standued. -
PICaTESTANT CONFAMMATION SOCInTY.--An address to
the Protestants of Greatßritain has lately been- published.

cowardly attacks which have been; and are stillinakingupon
our best institutions, and refute the bate and calUninious as..
persions that are daily cast against our Church-and-her ex-
cellent Clergy!! The address goes to state that for-sech a
purpose and such an end was the society established, and
asks—" Why sit tamely by, and see O'Connell andehis mi-
nions .wield the sceptre of despotism.. and trample in the dust -
those-Altars and those Institutions reared, the fostering
hands, and scaled with the blood of our femfilthers?' •If you .1

Protestant feeling still beating in your' hreaStrwhr-init rally
under the sacred banner of King William of glorious memory,
and let your motto be No Suanscosit?' " `lira address s
proceeds to state that the society was established- for the:pur- .1
pose of implanting and-nourishing in the minds of English-
men a love and veneration for the constitution of their s
try. Obedience to the laws is one of its hint and *knifemen-
tal principles, and its members of whatever station. are ever as
obedient to the laws of their country. The medifero of the
