COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.

Monday night a rather numerous meeting of gentle-
men, chiefly medical students and others connected with the me-
dical profession, was held in Leicester-plate, once the Sans Sauer
of Marks Dibdin. The Meeting was called together for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration certain alleged abuses in the go-
vernment and management of " the Royal College of Surgeons,"
and also for the purpose of ascertaining the opinion of the profession
at large on the neceuity of forming a new College.
Mr. WHAM, M.R.C.S. took the Chair.
Dr. Sian and several other Gentlemen addressed the Meeting.
Dr. Sias in the course of his speech observed, that he did not
mean to say that the funds of the College were dishonestly spent,
but they would give no account of their funds, which circumstance
of itself was sufficient to generate suspicion. He (Dr. Sloe) had
that day conversed with a friend who held in his hand receipts
for twenty-one years subscriptions paid to the College—and
who. during all that time, bad never been able to procure the
least infotmation relative to the application of a single shilling
of the ample funds at the disposal of the Council ; that
friend, however, had pledged himself to go with the re-
ceips in his hand to the House of Commons, aril, in the Lame
of the .profession, demand an explanation. That the funds
were ample would appear from the Mowing statement :—There
were about 8,000 living Members of the College, the subscrip-
tions of whom amounted to 177,4081.; for the Museum of
the College 15,0001. had been allowed ; was also
granted by Parliament for the College, making a total of
217,4081.; all this was independent of Council fees, resignation
ditto, Army and Navy Assistant-Surgton's ditto, annual sub-
scriptions of Members, &c. he might safely assert that the minimum
of the annual interest on the funds amounted to 10,000i.—(Ilear.)
If a body, public or private, did what was right with the funds
at its disposal, it need not be afraid of comineto the light ;
again, it was asserted that the Court of Examiners received
only half-a-guinea for each attendance; they did receive half-a-
guinea certainly, but it was for each diploma granted, so that each
Examiner put in his pocket 15 or 16 guineas fur about two hours'
attendance of an evening. Corruption (continued 11Ir. See) courts
concealment. By the 18th by-law, the College held out a promise
of protection to all its members. This was perfectly ridiculous ;it
was a mere pretence to induce the ignorant to become members.
Some little courtesy, at one period, certainly was shown the mem-
bers, but it was merely administered—as many of Use gentlemen
present had given bread-pills to nervous patients—with a view to
divert. Mr. Ske concluded by reading extracts from a great
variety of letters from medical men resident in all ,pans of Eng-
land, promising hearty co-operation in forming a new College,
upon a sound and independent basis, and characterising the " ma-
nagement" of the present Royal College as without Charter,
" arbitrary, illiberal. and disgraceful," &c. Mr. Sloe then read
the outline of a plan, and moved its adoption.
Ur. Ern heartily concurred in all that had been said regarding
the necessity that existed for the formation of a new and indepen-
dent College.
A Committee was next appointed, and the plan ordered to be
printed, and circulated amongst the profession throughout Eng-
land ; and that the Committee report to another Meeting, to be
convened as soon as possible, for the purpose of adopting final mea-
sures for the establishment of a new College. to be denominated
" The British College of Surgeons in London."

The term " watch-house," it appears, is of too de-
grading a nature to pass the lips of a new policeman, who,
instead of it, speaks of " the station," the " guardhouse,"
and " the depot."
COUNTY FIRE OFFICE RETURNS.—We are re-
quested to state, that all Persons who in 1828 and in preceding
years bad been seven years insured, may receive their usual Re-
turns of 20 per Cent. at the Office in Regent-street, or from the
respective Agents through whom they insured.
Accounts from the Orkney Islands state, that Captain
Ross, in the Victory steam-ship, had touched at Icelandburgh, on
his way northward, all well. The season was mild, and the water
more open than usual.
Lord CLONDROCK landed at Waterferd last week from
his elegant yacht the Scorpion, of 100 toes register, and is gone on
a visit to his brother-in-law, Joni( Coxaseve, of Mount Con-
greve, Esq.
One of the buildings in the interior of Lambeth Palace
recently fell down, the beams and timbers being quite rotten.
Saturday last, apples sold in Kendal market as low as
twopence the pannier, of 16 quarts.
AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—Saturday a duel took place in
the neighourhood of Dundrum, between Captain T-- and a
Mr. H---. We understand the Captain received the message,
requiring him to retract a letter :he bad written, but he declined.
Previous to the parties taking their ground, the Capt. was requested
to make some apology for the offensive letter, which was pe-
remptorily declined by his friend, Mr. S--, who intimated,
that had his friend been disposed to retract any thing hr had
written, he would have dose so before he came to the ground, but
certainly not there. The parties accordingly fired, without any
material mischief, when Mr. friend requested an apology,
which was again declined; whereupon it was proposed to reduce
the distance from twelve to ten paces. A second shot took place
without effect, when both principals requested their seconds to
load again, which they declined, declaring they would not
longer remain on the ground. It was then agreed that the
seconds should remove their principals from the ground, which
was done accordingly, and here the matter terminated.—Dublin P.
