EXODUS OF MEDICAL STUDENTs.-The Dean of the
Faculty Of Medicine of the University of Maryland
received a despatch Yesterday from one hundred
students of the Medical Schools in Philadelphia
inquiring if they would be received in the schools
here without any additional expense for lecture
tickets. The reply being favorable, they sent
despatch saying they would arrive at four o'clock
this morning. They will be accompanied by two
hundred other students who propose to 90 on to
the school at Richmond, Virginia. The students of
the Maryland University held meeting Yesterday
afternoon, and appointed committee to receive
their fellow students, and also expressed deter
mination to retain those who were en- route to
Richmond if cordial and enthusiastic rCception
could have that effect.
This desertion of students of the Universities of
the North, is new feature in the system of non
intercourse on the part of the South, and it will
nave the effect to prove to these young gentlemen
that they can have as many and as great advan-
tages IN acquiring professions south of Mason 4
Dixons line as elsewhere. There is no better school
IN this country, if anywhere, than the medical de-
partment of the Maryland University.
DIED FROM HER INJURGEs.-It will be recollected
that mention made of the arrest of one Thomas
hewitt, on the llth instant, for throwing scalding
water on his wife, in consequence of which she was
much injured. She has been confined to her bed
since then, and has continued to decline in health
until last night, when she died, having suffered in
tensey for several days previous to her death. The
knowledge of her death coming to officer Hssy, of
the Western district, he arrested Nevtt, and took
him before Justice Logan, who deemed the evidence
OF malicious intent the part of the accused sui-
clent to justify his commttal for the action of the
Grand Jury. Nevitt, who is much addicted to the
use of intoxicating drinks, has two children and
lived with them and his wife in a row of tumble
down houses in the southern part of tn CITY, Coro-
ner Battee was notified Of the decease of Mrs Ne
witt, but when he had ascertaned the circumstan-
ces OF the case, he refused to hold an inquest.
