in the progress of affairs in Shelby College,
will be gratified to learn that all the various
plans for its suspicious debut are rapidly ap-
preaching maturity. Its mateid and personnel
cert and harmony, in which prosperous ses-
sion is expected to commence next month.
First as to the building; we are happy to
announce it as complete; bricklayers have given
way to carpenters, they have been followed
by plasterers, painters, etc, and few of the
finer details, as glass cases for the museum,
tables, benches, etc, are now progressing
quietly and efficiently under our ablest Nash
Vile mechanics.
Invoices have also been received from Bos-
same fZs. of Paris, and their New York CORES
pondents, announcing the arrival of number
of large cases of the delicate prepare tiOns
which have been constructed for the college
in the dteliers of that celebrated firm under
the express directions of the eminent anat-
omist, Dr. Tarclieu, Professor of Anatomy in
the Ecots de Medicine; these have been so speci-
fed in the orders, as to constitute complete
illustrative SERIES anatomical. obStetrical, and
pathological. Other invoices announce the
shipment of IA collection of models and draw
ings from Philadelphia, including very com
pleIe assortment of botanical and obstetrical
plates on a large scale.
In addition to this, Prot. CURREY is on
visit in -Phladel phia for the purpose of select
ing complete apparatus and collection of
reagents for his chemical course, all of which,
including the professor himself, may be ex-
pected to arrive early this month.
tfo1. MAY Is UldklHp 10 his
already splendid surgical cabinet, which will
accompany him about the same time. 1t may
be added that several cases which will require
surgical treatment are already undergoing
preliminary treatment here, and will proba-
bly, be operated upon by him before the class
during the fall.
Prot. HAsKISs will also arrive before Octo-
Der, and will bring with him, as is anticipat-
ed, long string of students, whom the at
traction of his name will draw from the
district in which he is so well known as an
able practitioner.
Prot. WRIGHT has already been in town
about month. and is acting as resident physi-
clan of the hospital; he is provided with the
large collection of colored drawings by his
own hand, the accumulation of three years
labor while lecturing in the Memphis Medical
College.
Prot. CALENDER has been long engaged in
accommodating a complete array of drugs,
chemicals, and preparations for demonstration
in his lectures on materia medica.
This gentleman, with Professors FORD and
MADDIN, being now in a measure relieved from
their arduous duties of directing, planning,
and experimenting the building, etc, are
busily engaged in preparing their courses for
the ensuing session.
The City Hospital, within the halls OF the
College, is every day filling with cases of d.
sease OF every variety and every type, the adj
mirable arrangements of its wards being such
as to render this institution available in the
highest degree for clinical instruction.
The most Respondent of its friends. there

enemies, may equally look upon their doubts
and cavils as set ut rest by the establishment
of shelby College as the youngest sister in the
family of educational Institutions for the sci
ence of medicine, thoroughly furnished at all
points, aud conducted by Faculty prepared
means 10 the project OF elevating her TO the
that their arduous preliminary efforts have
already been widely appreciated, has been
most satisfactorily intimated by the constant
arrival of letters of inquiry and personal APP
plicaiions from Students intending 70 matric-
