and many we hear intend to avail themselves, in adj
didon, of the advantages offered by an association OF
medical teachers who have opened private school
for the purpose Of giving practical education, and
not one merely TO enable the student to obtain a
diploma. A great Improvement in medical educa-
ton is apparent, and will carefully note its pro-
| gress
| The PHILADELPHIA LEDGER.-Wc shall attend to
thus most impudent, mean, and contemplate con
cern, an a day or two. Without any ideas of its
| own, 1t is constantly plundering from the Herald
without any acknowledgement. The whole con-
federacy Of which it is the black boot, shall be
| shewn up in its length and breadth
THEArRlcAL.-Mr. vandenhoff, who made his
| debut in the character of Hamlet at the Park the
other evening, has been very severely handled by
some critic in the Courier and Enquirer of yester-
day. This attack on the very talented and accom-
| pllshed performer in question, has been probably
| concocted by Hambln, and his man Tom Snow
den. No one from this Office witnessed his per-
| Torrance, but we understand from several gentle
men OF judgment and experience in theatricas, that
MIR. Vandenhofl's Hamlet was the best seen in this
city for many years, and decidedly superior to young
Kean's representation of that great and difficult
character. Hamblin would be much more profita-
bly, employed in preparing the Bowery for the eclat
which Celeste will give it next week, and we ad-
wise him to attend to his own business, and not med
die with that Of his neghbors
MUscAL.-Signor De Begins has, we perceive, ia
ken our advice, and intends giving splendid con-
cert on the 9th of next month. The best musical
talent available in this city and neighborhood, will
be concentrated lat this entertainment Mrs. SUIT
ton, who is now in Rochester, singing to crowded
houses, Messrs Seguin, Timm,! land great number
of the vocal and instrumental performers will be
present The Signor will succeed better in this than
in the Italian Opera which he attempted
CELESTE AT THE BowERY Celeste has returned
and is now busy in the Bowery, preparing three
beautiful new pieces that will, revive for while,
the fortunes of that house. Hambin himself begins
to show some remains of the gentleman he
must take care to deal properly with Celeste We
shall sec that he performs all his promises to this
excellent and distinguished artistic.
Or STEAMBOAT AccIpENT.-Yes yesterday afternoon
while the steamer Boston on her passage from
Temperance Pic Mic, given at New Rochelle.
part of her machinery gave way, and she became
wholly unmanageable. She had about three hun
dred passengers on board, and they of course were
terribly frightened. Fortunately, the New Cham
pon came up and took off her passengers. They
were landed In this city last evening.
YELLOW FEvER.-There was no fever in Mobile
on the 18th inst. In New Orleans on the 18th there
was but one death.
