tute School of Medicine and Pharmacy" and ex-
plained the causes Of its failure We showed the
reasons of the rejection of all the Students educated
at that establishment, who applied for admission in
TO the naval medical service, and disclosed the utter
destltutlon OF this School, with respect the
OF affordlng respectable medical education. We
now proceed to examine the Crosby street School.
This establishment had fallen into rather lethar-
gc state previous to the advent of the Stuyvesant
phenomena. But in this instance the old adage,
opposition is the soul of business" was verified.
Stimulated TO active and vigorous exerton the old
College of Physicians and Surgeons started from its
supineness, and by the energy and liberaty of its
conduct, very soon eclipsed It's young and clustering
rival. A clintqne was opened and conducted with
great ecat and instead of the disgraceful spectacle
of fellowprofessors abusing and Safeguarding each
other, as was the case at the Stuyvesant, the pro-
lessons at the old school manifested the most friend
ly feeling, not only each other but to the whole
body of the profession in the city. spring
of lectures at a merely nominal fee, was also
given, and every facility afforded TO the students in
the requirement of sound education. The conse.
quence was, that the students of the old school who
presented themselves as candidates for admission
into the naval medical service were sustained, and
now fill the respectable stations of assistant sur
geons in the navy Of their country This fact is,
may readily be supposed, very Notifying to the
Stuyvesant Faculty. Mott and Pattison attempt TO
throw the blame on poor Phenomenon Bedford,
who was, il seems in the habit last winter of telling
the students not to be afraid of the green-room"
he would guarantee that they would all get diplo.
All how criminal the conduct of the men
who could thus deceive these unfortunate young
men, and subject them to the sad modification of
being rejected by the naval board What must
have been the feelings of those misguided young
men on finding tia extent and consequences Of the
imposition and deception of which they had been
made the victims What must have been the feel
ings OF their parents, guardians, and friends,
The Crosby Street School, we rejoice to
say, acted far otherwise. few of their
students who had not attended with dill
gence to their studies, refused diplo-
mas and ordered to prosecute their education
with attention for another season. This was real
kindness, and manifested widely different spirit
from that which extracted the last dollar from the
poor student, and sent him unfit and unprepared to
the Naval Board, then to find in the most painful
manner that he had been deceived
The Crosby Street School possesses the chief con-
troll of the Hospitals, Dspensaries and public cha
rites of the city. Hence their students have oppor-
tnities of becoming acquainted with the nature of
disease and its proper treatment. We have shown
that the Stuyvesant gentlemen are sadly defective in
this most important matter-that III fact, they can
not give any clinical instruction. What stronger
proof of this could be found, than that presented
last winter by the attendance of the students of the
school at the iniques of the old college There
day after day, might have been seen scores of the
poor starved students of the Suyvesant, seeking
knowledge in the great practical school of the col
lege. The sentiments expressed by one of the
most intelligent of the Stuyvesent students
last winter, spoke volumes" What good
does it do to Mott exhibit his
knives and gatures and will Bedford's stewed oys-
tiers and cider champagne enable us to cure inter-
mittent fever!''
The Professors at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons men of character and responsibility.
DR.. BEcK's name is most honorably identified with
the medical literature of his country DIR. STEVENS
enjoys high and merted reputation as a surgeon,
and is altogether far superior to DR. Mott. Dr. SWEET
lecturer at this School, is one of Ithe most &C
complished physicians in the country; his lectures
reported in the Lancet, do him great credit Drs
Parker and Gilmen are men of talent, and are much
of the oldest and most respectable in the land. A
great number of our Army and Navy surgeons, and
many of our oldest and most distinguished physicians
were educated within its walls.
But enough has been said to place the merits of
the two schools in proper light. fany of the stu
dents who coming from the country allow them
selves to be imposed upon, they now have no
excuse. If they desire to be rejected at the naval

NEW BRIGHTON GAIETrEs.-The fall fashionable

of the most brilliant of balls, at the Pavilion in

fashionable strangers in town going.
New Brighton is peculiar place. After the crowds

of October, at New Brighton, to close the season.

reunion before winter. There are about one hun

of them in possession of youth, beauty fortune and

In the bright month of September-or the glorious
month Of October, there is ne place in the wide re-

licious drives-the splendid hotel-the capital
dinners-the lovely balls, and the proximity to the
city, all tend to give it facility of materials that
no other place possesses The first fall bal, be-
gins tonight; but we learn that preparations are
making for a series of splendid tabiaur pipans-
elegant pic mic in the woods-and such pieces OF
gaiety which so distinguished New Brighton during
the season Of 1887, when Henry Lynch, Esq was
master of the reves, and opened the road to
