This weeks number Of this popular Medical
| Journal will be issued this morning. The Lancet
presents concentrated periodical record of the pro.
gress Of medical science throughout this country and
Europe All improved modes of practice, novel
surgical operations and remarkable cases are given
in this publication. The full reports which it also
gives of valuable lectures places it far above any of
| the medical periodicals of this country. That the
Lancet meets the wants and wishes OF the medical
professions is evident, from the extraordinary crcu.
lation which it has obtained in the short space of
three mentks. From no quarter has complaint
been heard respecting the mode in which the Lancet
is conducted; and the Faculty-unanimt for once
declare that it is the best journal Of the kind ever
established in this country.
But the Lancet has, in our opinion, still Stronger
claims to the unprecedented patronage which it has
already received-t is destined to effect most inn
portan revolution in the medical world-it is draw
ing aside the veil with which quackery, prejudice
and blinded ignorance have heretofore wrapt up the
practice of the healing art-iti is pop,lari=ng med.

MORE SMALL PorAroEs. -Governor Seward has
vetoed the bill recognizing the Court of Sessions,
passed by large msjorities in the Legislature This
Is his fourth veto but it takes dozen such vetoes 10
equal one OF Captain Tylers. This veto saves the
bacon, only for time, of our friends Judge Noah
and Judge Lynch Ofceurse they. will remain on the
bench tor another year-but then they will have to
60. In the mean time, for their uniform kindness TO
us, we hope the Corporation will hand over their

landed associations, including Red Dog Banks Trus,
Companies, NC, that hereafter private indi duals
will superntend their own business, without the in.
reference OF directors, which has always, on ex.
perience, under similar circumstances, been found to
be unsatisfactory and ruinous. What has become OF

N.Y. These associations have not only proved I'm
fortunate TO those who have subscribed thei,
money but destructive to the interests of the Dor

produced species Of triangular warfare between the
