The MEDICAL SCHOOLS OF New YoRK.-Already
the medical students begin TO pour into this city
from all sections Of the Union. In consequence
of the healthy rivalry of both colleges, great i'm
pulse has been given to medical education here.
The lectures are more philosophical, and the dis
secting rooms and hospitals better attended There
was certainly some need for improvement, and we
greatly gratfed to learn that the symptoms Of
great revival are so numerous and so favorable
New York is indeed rapidly becoming the Paris Of
this continent as respects medical education. The
facilities for pursuing the various branches OF study
great, and unequalled by any other city in the
Union. Next winter we expect to see very Urge
classes at both schools
| FROM Rio JANEIRo.-The Hiram w. Tyler, Cap
tain Tyler, arrived at this port yesterday from Rio
Janero, whence she sailed on the 3Oth August, re-
ports the arrival at that port the day previous Of the
U. S. figate Congress-officers and crew all well
She was to sail soon for the River Plate, and
would probably be absent about four months.
ITALIAN OpKRA.-To-nght the beautiful opera of
Pirata is to be repeated. In a lew days we
understand that the rehearsals Of the opera in
which the new primG donna, Signora Pico is to
appear, will commence. According to all &C
counts she will make great sensation in the mu-
steal circles. Her debut, however, should be post
poned till after the election, which takes place in
two or three weeks 1t is quite impossible to get
any full houses at the opera or the theatres during
the present political exc .tement Ole Bull, indeed,
draws crowd, but he is an anomaly.
THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA.--We perceive that the
"bell ringers,' (humbugs rather) as they are
called, are now engaged as stars at the Park Thea
tire. We suppose the next step in legitimacy will
be to engage the "ourang outang'' as a star in
Othelio Why will not Mr.. Simpson come out like
man and engage the opera troupe, with the ballet,
if Signor Palmo, as it is said, can't get along
with them Brush up the Park Thsatre-clear
away the dirt-dismiss the humbug, and.give us an
opera and ballet in the best style, and you will
its walls tenanted again by beauty and fashion.
OLE BULLS CONCERT AT NIBLos ON SATURDAY
NIeHr.-The theatre was crowded TO sufiocation,
and the enthusiasm was as great; and, if possible,
greater than ever. The recollections of Scot
land" in which the great violn-poet gave varia-
tons Of some Of the most popular Scottish airs,
produced Undesirable emotions Of delight in the
audience.
