''ginger-bread man"-for the remaining Professors
with the exception of Professor Draper, are mere
men of straw-"leather and pruneila." DR.. Sands,
we regard the best Of the lot. His infallble rem
edy for the destruction of the troublesome vermn
which constituted one of the plaques of Egypt, pos
sesses, II is said, great efficacy, and his plan of
transporting leeches in their native clay" is ex-
ceedingly judicious. If anything can retrieve the
fortunes of the School, il will be the pharmaceuti
cal efforts of DR.. Sands We have already express
ed our high appreciation of the zeal discovered by
Drs. Mott and Sands in advancing the progress of
Pharmacy. If they cannot educate Students so as
to enable them to pass the Naval Board, these vener
able men will, at all events make amends by teach
ing them how to manufacture mercurial ointment,
and administer a clyster
But the great-the glaring-the not-to-be-conceal-
ed defect in the system of the Stuyvesan School, is
the total want OF clinical or bedside instruction.
This is the point of all. But although allusion
TO 1t is somewhat agonzlng 10 DR.. Mott, Sands az
Co., we must gently touch upon it, for we would de-
sire TO save the Students who are coming from the
country, and who may possibly be induced TO be-
heve even the statements of the Stuyvesant eircu-
lars All the Hospitals, Dispensarles, &c. In the
city in the hands of the Crosby street School,
Let II be known, then, that the Stuyvesant School
has no means whatever of giving practical know
ledge of diseases and their appropriate treatment.
True, last winter clinique was got up, but from
the iealousies and quarrels of Drs Mott and Patti
son, it was discontinued No wonder that without
opportunities of learning the nature of disease, and
witnessing its treatment, all the Students of the
Stuyvesant School, who applied for admission were
rejected at the Naval Board
We might enumerate the quarrels of this Faculty
with each other,a amongst the Of the failure
of this School, But the public care little about hear
ing that DR.. Pattison called DR.. Mott can old ego
stical fool" or that DIR. Mott described DR. Patti
son as San impudent old babbler, with door plate
like sign-board, and hand that always put one in
mind of the ague." The public doesn't, we suppose,
care about knowing DR.. Motifs threat to republish
certain pamphlet illustrative of sudry exciting pas
sages in the life of DR.. Pattison. We have shown,
at all events, that the Professors and all un-
fit for the duties of their chairsthat they cannot
afford practical instruction to their sudents-that
their institution is the aughing-so of the profess
sion-and that it is no wonder that all their pupils
who applied for admission into the naval medical
corps were ANONYMOUSLY rejected.
Oar review the Crosby street School will form
the subject of another article. In the meantime let
students profit by warning, and preserve their
pockets from plumber, and their characters from dis
grace.
The INSULT TO THE Press AT THE LATE DINNER
From among great many others of similar cha
racter in the various papers of the Union select
the following, which appears in the Baltimore
Clipper 30
THE AsHBuRroN DINNER IN New YoRx-THE PREu.-
Most OF the New York papers express themselves in in
the Managers of the Ashburon Dinner In consequence
of this insult the reporters left the in body after the
speeches Of Lord Ashburton and Mr. Evans II seems that
the managers did not consider the reporters associates
for the company and therefore provided separate table
ior them as for SO many interiors This was the offence
ROOM 1t is very certain that many of the reporters for
The not only gentlemen Of distinguished talents
but in their characters and social relations the
superiors of those who would thus attempt to degrade
hem to mental condition. We surprised that such
occurrence as the above should have taken place in
his country Most public men large portion OF
heir fame to the public press and hence strange that
any effort should be made to bring into contempt 1t is
otherwise in astocratic England, where reporters
always furnished with the best seats and other
wise treated with great respect
This Is but one instance out of hundred that we
could select, of the light in which the conduct of
the Ashburton Committee has been received
throughout the country, by the press generally,
with one or two exceptions. Those exceptions are
such papers as Charles Kings, Thurow Weeds, and
BOBBY Brooks's
The insult is very,propery awakening deep feel
ing in the community at large as to the lines of dis
tinction that these merchant princess may choose
to draw future occasions between themselves
and gentlemen, other than the reporters. We can
gather something of the sentiments of these men
from the brutal language of their leader that mise
rable upstart, ignorant BLACKBOARD, Charles King
who has neither the manners, education, nor cou-
rage to constitute him gentleman. 1t is but four
years since, that at of these $40 dinners, given
to Mr. Webster at the Astor House, one OF our re-
porters, for whose ticket we had paid $40, was
turned out of the room by this very Charles King
and his clique (whose superior he was in talent
and manners, simply because he was re-
porting the speeches, and doing that for which we
had right to send him there.
The fact is that this clique, of which the King
family is at the head determined if possible to
get up castles and establish certain distinctions in So
ciety in this republican country similar to what pre-
walls among the Hindoos. And knowing that they
can never succeed whilst free and independent
press exists here, their main effort is to trampe on
that press, and to declare that all those connected
Herewith are unit TO associate with the merchant
princes" The issue may as well be made at once
And the day is not far distant, when these insoent
and ignorant men will be taught to feel that the
members of the press arei far their superors in
talent education, character and all the attributes
of gentlemen, as can possibly be conceived. Those
with the press of this city are their supe-
riors In every respect; and think the reporters
owe it TO themselves to call meeting, and publish
all the facts in the to the world over their own
signatures. They woudbe sustained In their indie
pendent course from one end of the Union to the
other.
