Stuyvesant School, and the Crosby street College,
beating up for students with great industry, and
some success. The old College has now secured
probably upwards of one hundred pupils. The Stuy'
vesanr Faculty say that they have ninety matrlcu-
lated students but as we have been informed that
all the members of the senior class in the literary
department of the New York University have the
privilege OF attending the chemistry class at the lnst
tute, on payment of the matriculatlon fee, the
number OF matriculatons can afford no evidence OF
the number of bona fde medical students. This
explains, II is said, the lii of last year. The iinique
of the Stuyvesant Institute is not attended by DR..
Mott, whose great fame attracted crowds last year
1t is, therefore, poorly attended at present The
ci'ntque OF the College in Crosby street is crowded
with professors, patients and students.
| We perceive from the Ldncet-which is rapidly
| increasing IN circulation and popularity that DR.
Nelson, the celebrated Canadian surgeon, is about
TO give splendid course of lectures on Physiology.
The Doctor has been engaged in microscopic re-
: searches tor the last twenty years, and has made
some remarkably interesting and important dis
coveres.
The college of Medicine and Pharmacy" have
opened Surgical department, and gentlemen of
great experience and skill will perform the necessary
operations The College contemplate the esta-
bllshment of medical and surgical ciin,ques on a
! very extensive scale. Medical students will be gra-
tutousy admitted to these c'iniques, and operations
will be performed on such terms as will suit "a
| tlents OF all classes. We know the medical men
connected with this institution to be possessed of
| the most respectable attanments, and under their
auspices great amount of good must be done.
Altogether the science of medicine appears to be
rapidly improving here. And why not New
York should certainly be the great mart of the sci
ence, as well as OF the commerce of the country
