The University of Edinburgh and the Extra-Mural REPORT OF THE MONTREAL GENERAL HOSPITAL Lecturers.-At a recent meeting of the town council of FOR NOVEMBER AND December, 1846. the city of Edinburgh, a report from the college commitDR. CAMPBELL AND DR. CRAWFORD, Attending Physicians. tee was unanimously agreed to, by which a considerable Remained, change has been effected in the rules guiding the senatus of the university in the reception of tickets qualifying for graduation in medicine. Students are now permitted to take one-third of the required classes out of the university, from extra-mural lecturers, but no such lecturers are recognised whose fees for their classes are below the university standard. The principle which has guided this act is perfectly equitable; and a number of the most eminent of the extra-mural lecturers have acceded to it, among whose names we find the following: Drs. Douglas Maclagan, Skae, Wilson, Bennet, and Campbell. In thus extending to the extra-mural lecturers university privileges, the town council have exhibited a praiseworthy care of the interests of their own Abscessus, professors.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Letters have been received during the month from Dr. Johnstone, Sherbrooke: Capt. Lefroy, of H. M. Observatory, Toronto. The remarks of the latter gentleman have received attention; but he will receive a letter from us in the course of a few days, along with copies of the report. We cannot say more at present. A letter has also been received from Dr. Holden, Belleville. The communication of Dr. McDiarmid, Prescott, has been received. As also that of Prof. Croft, which has arrived as the Journal is going to press.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Mr. Wood, who is about to start on a collecting tour for the Herald, Gazette, and other Journals, will carry with him, also, receipts from this office for the subscriptions due to this Journal by subscribers. Our subscribers will oblige us by meeting the call which will thus shortly be made on them. In our last num ber we observed that this service would be performed by Mr. Gem. mill. The arrangements with the latter could not be perfected at the time he left this city, which will account to cur friends for the change, of which we think it proper thus to advise them.
