The usual weekly clinique, that Is held in this In
sttution throughout the year, took place yesterday,
and the lecture room was well attended by large
number OF medical students, most OF whom have
come on to this city from various parts OF he Union,

Professor Parker Is entitled TO the credit Of has
oeen most excellent thing Tor the College, and also
tle many patients that have been prescribed for and
amended gratuitously by the students. It Is held
every Monday between the hours of ten and twelve,
and 1t is curious sight to witness the stream of
nait, MAIN, blind, &c., patients that pour down
Crosby street They are admitted into the class
room In regular rotation, and each is examined
into by the Professor, who explains it to the assem-
bed class, prescrlbes tor them and puts them under
charge OF some OF the more advanced students
whose duty It IS to visit them at their homes and see
that the course recommended by the Professor is
carried out, or varying II, circumstances may re-
qulre. Under this plan 1t will be perceived that
vast number OF patients are prescribed for in the
course of the year, and what makes it more useful
s, that all this attendance is given gratuitously, the
students resting satisfied with the amount of know
ledge that they receive from having the opportunity
thus afforded them OF studying diseases practically
and as his whole course of treatment is under the
immediate advice OF the Professors, who are all of
them eminent men, the patient runs no risk OF what
they generally fear so much, VIZ. being experiment

brought forward and commented on by Pro-
lessor Parker-they comprised several classes OF
diseases, such as epilepsy, fstula cutaneous COM
plants, &C. &c. Two or three minor operations
removing a small encysted tumor from the lips of a
lad. On all of these the Professor gave a great
deal of information Ia the class.

Robberies of Public Functionaries in Mex
leo.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser ntimaies that the
ireQuen, robbery Of American Ministers is done
by the agents. He says
"We were more amused than surprised here
at the story that Mr.. Elliot, the British charge
d'atiaires, was robbed on his way to Mexico
from Vera Cruz Mexican robbers of the pub
lie functiontries are of old date and always of a
mysterious character. Robbery is part of the
system of police in Mexico, and public men
have learned to understand it. The object of
the robbers is TO get possession, for the Cavern
ment, of the private papers, political objects and
instructions of the func,ionary, and the Govern.
ment invariably makes restitution of the money
and vaIuables taken by the robbers, if they un-
warily, or of necessity, take them.
Gen. Thomp-on was robbed on his way to
Mexico. The Government Immediately offered
him ample amends but his papers were not re-
turned When Mr.. Shannon went out, as Min.
lister, be was warned that he would be robbed
between Vera Cruz aud Mexico, and advised to
t.ke no money with him, but to procure a bill,
can always be DONE at Vera Cruz, on MeXI-
co. He did so, ana was duly robbed. The Go-
vernmen, offered It's coincidence, and rendered
indemnifcation to large amount.
When Mr., Gushing passed through Mexico,
on his return from China, he was stopped by a
troop OF half military, halt savage looking fel.
lows, who demanded his keys, &c. They over
hauled every thing. His trunks with specie
and with public papers were examined and lock-
ed up again. A box with papers was taken,
and he was then told to proceed.
Commodore Porter, when they attempted to
rob him cn his return from Mexico, having had
some difficulties with that Government, ind be-
ing in no humor for the operation, wheeled his
horse upon the captain OF the troop and shot him
dead, whereupon the rest took to fight
Cases have been known wherein men of i'm

THE GREEN MOssY BANK.
BY AMELIA

my thoughts are away where my infancy flew,
Near the green messy bank where the butter
cups grew,
Where the bright silver fountain eternally played
First laughing in sunshine then singing in shade
There eft in my childhood I've wandered in play,
Flinging up the cool drops in shower of spray
Till my small naked feet were all bathed in
bright dew
As played on the bank where the butter-cup
grew.
How softly that green bank sloped down from
the hill
To the spot where the fountain grew suddenly
still,
How cool was the shadow the long branches gave,
wave
And then each pale lilly that slept on the stream
Rose and fell with the wave as if stirred by a
dream,
While my home mid the vine.leaves soft on
my view,
grew.
The beautiful things how watched them unfold,
Till they lifted their delicate vases Of gold,
O. never a spot since those DAYS have ! seen
With leaves of such freshness and flowers OF such
sheen,
How glad was my spirit for then there was
nought,
To bur,hen its wings. save some beautiful thought
Breaking up from its depths with each wild wind
that blew
Der the green messy bank where the butter
cups grew.
The paths have trod would quickly retrace
Could | win back the gladness that looked from
my face,
As cooled my warm lip in the fountain love,
With spirit as pure as the wing of dove,
Could wander again where my forehead was
starr'd
With the beauty that dwelt in my bosom un.
armed
And calm as child, in the starlight and dew
Fall asleep on the bank where the butter-cups
grew.

MENDING A TREE.-It is well known ths,

Brooklyn Advertiser saw at Mr. Frost's, New

eaten all round by the mice some years ago. aud
of course would have died. without some extra
pains to save it. Mr. Frost set dozen of sc,ons
in the tree, one end in the green bark and wood

all took at both ends and grew well, excepting
one, which took only at the bottom, and thus

Hints TO LADIEs.-Stair carpets should al
ways have slip Of paper put under them, at
and over the edge of every stair, which is the
part where they fret wear out in order to lesson
the friction of the carpets against the boards be-.
meath. The strip should be within an inch or
two as long as the carpet is wide, and about four
or five inches in breadth, 50 rs to lie a distance
from each stair. This simple plan, SO easy Of
execution. will, we know, preserve stair car
pet half as long again as it would last without
the strips of paper.
