O. The September number Of Burgess, String
er g. Co.'s Republication of the London Lancet,
came to hand last week We are again struck
with the variety and value of IFS contents. II is 10
fact an excellent medical newspaper, noticing what
is going on in the profession, on the continent as
well as in England. In many ways, the mode of
collecting and arranging facts is so much more
systematic, thorough and well directed among the
French and German scientific bodies than in Eng
land, that English journal giving merely the
home intelligence, would leave its readers far in
the rear Of the actual progress Of knowledge. The
short article giving account of M. Series report
to the Academy of Sciences at Paris on yaccina-
ton and re-vaccnation, illustrates this, as does
paper on the influence Of tobacco on the animal
economy. In the former article, to show that
though vaccination is not always an absolute pre-
yentive Of small pox, it most materially dimnshes
the gravity Of the disease, this striking statement
is made:-
"ln one of the most terrible epidemics Of varola
that has taken place in Europe since the discovery
of yaccination-that Of Marseilles, in Is28-more
than ten thousand persons were attacked OF
these, two thousand only had been vaccinated, and
Of that number forty-hve only died, whereas, one
thousand five hundred Of the eight thousand who
had not been yaccinated we're carried off by the
pestilence."
We again commend the book to the medical
men of Vermont.

TExAs.-The Convention To form State Con-
sttution was still in session at The last adyices II
had adopted the an,i-dueling clause which is bor-
rowed from the newly formed Constitution of Lou
isiana. Lotteries are also prohibited Judges arc
10 be nominated by the Governor, and confirmed
by two-thrds Of the Senate. The term of Office
is to be six years. The number of Senators is fixed
at 81, and Of Representatives at &C. Afler all, we
are somewhat inclined TO believe that il is easier to
form written Constitution in Texas, than TO force
the bowie-knfe gentry Of that wonderful FL Dorado
to strict obedience to the letter of such Con-
stituton. Most of the Southern States have excel
len, statutory provisions against duelling. But the
fear Of being called towards is much stronger than
that of being reputed violators of law-cousequet.
y these saluiary statutes remain dead letters
What is called public opinion at the South is re-
solvable into eO~ardiy dre0d--nothing else.

9th. In the Honan provinces, situated somewhere
in the central part of China, there has been an

Canton, in mat-house erected for a theatrical en-
