them formidable and dangerous when they can
neither be bIibed nor mOlliied. 1t Is indeed

TORONTO, Friday, August 7, 1850.
Mr. Cameron Of Cornwall, attorney here
brought bill come time since in the Assembly to
abolish the rule under which Medical Students ct
private school ere admitted to practice az
physicians, if found qualified by the examiners
legally appointed, and to make the law more
stringent against homeopathic and other doctors
"not orthodox" Last night it passed the Commit
tee Of the Whole and an amendment made TO ex'
cept Doctor Rolph's Medical School, which has been
In operation twenty years, and in which some Of
our most eminent physicians have been taught from
its operation, failed by majority Of four, Messrs.
Lafontaine and Baldwin cheering on the intol.

on examination, he proved that he really had

mutual interests against the great interests OF so

The bill to amend the currency has passed both

Post Office Department will be continued for anoth-
