manifest itself IN 4 very significant manner. We
alude 10 the increased development Of ihe dlsnc-
I ion between the mere organs oi diqass and lndyi
dual interests and the great independent organs Of
public opinion
About twenty years ago, all the journals q New
York were published in Wal street, and were under
the influence OF Wall street interests. Thus Te-
culiarly narrow exclusive and selfish character was
given 10 the journalism OF this great metropolis
And such for many years was the character Of the
New York press. But the independent cheap press
arose and il became al once the organ Of more
enlightened, philosophical and comprehensive pub
lie opinion AT this moment there three or four
journals published in the region Of Wall street. and
retaining the marks and character Of the old sys-
tem-the Courier and Enquire, the Journal ~
Commerce, the Ercning Post. the Commercial al.

England, and actually contendng against the prncl-

The only true representation OF the New York
press-of American public oplnon-cf the progress
OF the age-of the mighty impulses now moving
society In all directions, is that journalism located
between the corner of Fulton and Nassau streets
and Tammany Hall-the Herald, the Sun, the Tn
bu,le, and the True Sam In tins region, are pub
lisled daily about eighty thousand sheets, and pro-
badly double that number every week. And this
widely dlffused journalism is entirely unrestricted
entirely unlnfuenced by moneyed cliqnes. II is be-

the republic and the spirit of the age. It is, in fact
the great director and exponent OF the energy. inn

The MRplcAL Schools AND MEDICAL SOCIETY.
This subject is becoming very interesting parti-
cularly since the opening of the University and
Its progress during the last few years AT this mo-
ment there about four hundred pupils at the new
school, yielding annual income OF seven or eight
thousand dollars. AT the old school, only about
one hundred pupils have entered, and the income
is OF course, proportlonably small.
In point of medical talent the two schools may
be pretty much on par But in knowledge of the
world, and tact in making an impression upon the
public mind, the school is vastly superior TO its
rival, whose managers, with the best means of max
ing themselves popular, yet want that coureousness
-polcy-knowledge OF the world, which only could
enable them to be successful. During the summer
season, the professors of the new school, like reeu-
larly educated diplomatsts and politicians, travelled
round the country, and made every effort by cir
cuars and prospectuses and personal application,
TO represent their institution in most iourishlng
condition, and by this means have collected pupils
from all parts Of the country. In the winter season,
with great deal of talent in the professors,
they add to that soufes 10 which the students are
invited, and every degree of attention paid them.
Their relatives, too, when they visit the
city, are kindly cared for and patronized,
and thus all the seductive arts of society are
made to combine with medical education, so as to
fill the classes. On the other hand the professors
of the old school belong to the old STYLE called
laughaby enough, the highly respectable class of
society," the first settlers of New York"-the
"rea arstocracy of Manhatan'-and would as
soon think of inviting the :" old gentleman, horns,
cloven-foot tail, and all, as of the students TO
their "hghly respectable parties"
The consequence of all this is, that the old school
has very little popularity, although great deal Of
talent, which, if properly managed on the modern
principles, would be as productive as we see it is in
the new school.
