oirE MEDICAL scHooLs. Clinics of ihe Philadelphis HospitaL ArattscHousE,WusT rlllLADmpEtzA,Satur day, February 10, li;6s.—We feel rather inbebted; than otherwise, to "W" for the opportunity he has given us of speaking more at length, than we otherwise should have done, on the subject of the antiquity of the Philadelphia Hospital .as a Medical School, and its priority of rank in this country. "W" evidently means well, but he seems to have commenced and ended his historical knowledge of medical events in the school or library of the Pennsylvania Hospital. We have a longer acquaintance with. Dr. Thoulas Bond than our critic is likely; to, find on die records of that excel-' lent and useful institution. Indeed, Doctor Bond appears to be the very first Physician on record, as an a ppoin tee of the Managers of the ,Atinshouse, and left the Philadelphia Hospital to assume the chairs of medicine 'and surgery of the Pennsylvania Hospital, being the very first Physician appointed by theManagem of that noble charity. The only authentic history of the Phila delphia Hospital and Alms House was pre pared with great care and infinite research, by D. Hayes Agnew, M. D.,under the appointment of the Medical oard of that institution, and delivered before its pupils on the occasion of the opening of the annual course of Clinical lectures, in the autumn of 1862. Dr. Agnew acknowledges his indebt edness to •the. Board of Guardians of the Poor, for the use of the records of the Alms House, to Doctors Given and Benton, resident physicians of. the Hospital, to Mr. Samuel Hazard, Secretary of the PtdladelL phis Historical Society, to Mr. Mickley, the, antiquarian, "whose rare collection of works," he describes, "as unsurpassed," to Prefessors'Jacksou and Hodges, to DoctOrs' Gerrhard/and Stine and to r. Curtis Cavender, the intelligent clerk having the records -of the House in charge, for the immense amount of local historical know ledge he has accumulated on thisinteresting -subject, filling, as it does, a closely printed octavo volume of over fifty pages. The Doctor himself says "The Medical History of the Alms House is so interwoven with the secularities of Philadelphia, that no history of this city, civil, political or professional, would be complete with Out it." We shall now use Dr. Agnew's own words on the error. attri*Juted to us by our friend W. "The Medical History of the Philadelphia Alma House covers a period of one hundred and twenty years" (1862),during which time it has been located in three different posi tions. First, on the square between Spruce and Pine and Third and Fourth streets, at that time called the Green Meadows; next on the square between Spruce and Pine and Eleventh and Twelfth streets, long known as the Society Grounds, and last on the west side of the Schuylkill river, where we are assembled to-day. "This,, gentlemen," Dr. Agnew continues, "is the oldest hospital em this continent. Frond, in his history of Pennsylvania, a workjustly esteemed for its research, says the Philadelphia Almshouse was of a later ,date than the Pennsylvania Hospital, the origin of which was in 1753. This is a mis take. In 1742 it was fulfilling a varied routine of beneficent functions in affording shelter, support and employment for tke poor and indigent, a hospital for the sick, and an asylum for the idiotic, the insane, and the orphan. It was thus dispensing its acts of mercy and blessing when Pennsyl vani wa.s yet a province, and her in habi tants loyal subject of Great Britain, more than twenty years before a school of medicine was founded in this city and indeed before most of the great events which have given the American people a historical importance among the nations of the earth." So much for theantiqulty of the Philadel phia Hospital. But the Doctor continues— " Who were the first physicians appointed to attend the Philadelphia Alms House, and at what period were they assigned to this duty? These are questions, so fa.s as I know, which cannot be ascertained either from record or tradition. In 1768, and pro bably much earlier , Dr. Cadavalader Evans and Dr. Thomas /and were the medical ap pointees, and on the 18th of May, 1769, we have a. formal announcement of their re-elec tion. The institution at that early period contained 246 inmates, and each of the medical attendants received fifty pounds per annum, and were required to supply such medicines as were needed by the sick." This ought to settle the position of Dr. Bond at that time as Resident Physician of the Philadelphia Hospital; but Dr. Agnew is still more explicit on the subject. "Dr. Bond," he adds, speaking of that gentle man, "studied his profession both at home and abroad; was the first surgeon and physi • elan to the Pennsylvania Hospital, in which institution, as early as 1769, he delivered lectures on clinical medicine and surgery." "W" must undoubtedly be wrong in saying that "in the year 1766 Dr. Bond com menced a regular course of clinical lectures to the students of which the managers thought so highly that they had the lectures copied into their minute book." The learned Doctor seems to have possessed a übiquity of existence as far as regards both establishments. The Medical Clinic of Saturday contained nothing whatever of general interest— nothing to which we need call particular attention. -The usual surgical clinic was postponed on account of the illness of Dr. Levis. His place, however, was very ably filled by Dr. J. S. Cohen, who delivered an excellent lecture on Laryngoscopy, by way of filling up the vacuum. The Laryngoscope is a recent invention, intended for the purpose of examining the throat and larynx, with the intention of observing its pathological character. By the means of this curious instrument the condition of the larynx, the vocal chords and the surrounding parts are made visible to the medical examiner, en abling him to afford relief which would have been a matter of impossibility in ordinary practice. Tumors and ulcers may be seen and removed, which were not ap parent to any instrument heretofore in use. A brief description, just now, of the Laryngoscope—hereafter we may. haire much to say on the subject—will, perhaps, attract the reader. We copy a very clear and mechanical explanation of the instru ment from the notes of one of the ablest Resident Physicians, which will give a correct idea of its construction. Its use de pends entirely on the laws of light, and its two principal elements—reflection and illu mination. The "Laryngoscope consists of two mir rors—a small one from half an inch to an inch in diameter, to be placed back in the lances, and a large plain or concave mirror, used for the purpose os reflecting and con aolidating the rays of the sun or artificial light upon the small mirror after it is placed in Rosition. These mirrors may be made of various materials, but the best of all are of glass, backed with amalgam. The circular laryngicaludrror causes the least irritation in the throat, and should be attached to the handle so that the latter forms with it an angle of about 120 0 . The stem of the mirror slides into a hollow wooden handle, and is thred hereby a screw. By this arrangement it may be made shorter or longer, according to circumstances. . :In the use of this instrument solar light is always preferable, but when that cannot be obtained ordinary burning gas or an sigandiamp will answer the purpose. The great difficulty , however seems to be iii e ma pulation of the instruments, from the inability of the patient to keep his tongue protruded long enough to enable the operator to arrive at a perfect knowledge of the condition of the affected parts. We shall ommine the operation of this instrument, hereafter, with much interest, althotigh, just now, we are inclined to place it among those fancied improvements th•it have their hour and go out, like a star at the approach of dawn. CITY BUII,LETIN. A, NEW CHARITABLE ENTERPRISE.—A number of the ladies connected with that excellent' institution, the Church Home for Children, have resolved to establish another Home for boys exclusively, having special reference to the wants of soldiers' orphans, a large number of whom are now waiting to be provided for by our. State. The Leg islature proposes to pay a large proportion of the expense of maintaining these chil dren, and the object of these ladies will be to procure a suitable building and furnish it. They proposelo make it a home for boys alone, as it has proved more difficult to pro vide for them' than girls; to feed, clothe and educate them, and when at a suitable age to bind - them as apprentices, or place them in stores or offices, their masters paying the institution their board, instead otgiving the the money into the boys'; hands to provide a shelter for themselves. Experience ioroves that nothing is more needed than just such an institution in this city; thou sands of boys , are going to ruin, because for want of a comfortable home, they are driven to spend the evenings at lager beer saloons, theatres and other assocaations equally njurious. The ladies are now soliciting contribu tions to procure and furnish this new Home and have already met with a liberal re sponse. The enterprise is in hands, whose names area guarantee of success in estab lishing and efficiency in carrying forward his noble undertaking, and we cordially commend it to all who feel an interest in he destitute little ones of 'Our community: The following-named persons have con sented to serve as Directresses, Counsellors and Managers: • Directresses—Miss McHenry, 1902 Chest nut street; 'Mrs. Wm.

COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY.—F. Dizzard' alias Brown, alias Delaware, &c., was ar raigned before United States Commissioner Smith, yesterday, charged on the oath of William T. Levy, with dealing in counter feit government money. The defendant was arrested by United States Detective Officers Franklin and Wood. Mr. Levy testified that he was employed by the Treasury Department, that he got acquainted with the accused and bought of him a $2O counterfeit United States note, on the 25th of September last, at Ninth and Arch streets. On the 27th of September, two days later, witness bought of the defendant twenty $3 notes on the Bank of Laurance county and nine-nine $1 bills on the Merchants' Bank of Baltimore, (all counterfeit), for which he gave $35 50 in good money. Dizzard was committed to answer. Onrruairm—The funeral of Col. Gabriel De Korponay will take place this afternoon, from his late residence, No. 238 South Juniper street. The deceased was well known in this country, in former years, as a dancing master, and was the first to intro duce the Polka here. He hqd served in the armies of several European nations, and after the breaking out of the recent rebellion in the South, and when the 28th Regiment, P. V., (one of the largest in the service) was organized by CoL John W. Geary, the de ceased was appointed Lieut.-Colonel, his commission dating June 28, 1861. Colonel Geary was promoted to Brigadier-General, April 25, 1862, and was succeeded in com mand of the Regiment by Col. DeKorponay. The latter held that position until the fol lowing September, when he was honorably discharged for disability. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—This morning between two and three o'clock a gentleman and two ladies, who were returning home from a ball, and were passing along Ger mantown road near Oxford street, were at tacked by a young man, who struck the gentleman with a beer glass and knocked him down. A sort of running fight along Oxford street ensued, and at Cadwalader street the assailant was arrested. He gave his name as William Johnson, and after a hearing before Alderman Shoemaker was committed in defaulter $2,000 bail for trial. DEATH OF a PROMINENT MASON.—Win. H. Adams, Esq., a well-known resident of Philadelphia, and Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge A. Y. M. of Pennsylvania, died on Sunday evening, after an illness of two weeks.

The tuneral will take place from the residence of the deceased, North Sixteenth street, and will be attended by the members of the Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter,Commandery and several subordinate organizations. A BRIGHT YOUTH.—A bright specimen of Young America was observed yesterday, at the Baltimore depot purchasing freely from a couple of Indian women. Bead purses, smoking caps and various little articles were bought at extravagant prices. The juvenile was taken in charge by a po licemen and after his arrival at the police station confessed that he had stolen $2O from his parents. The latter refused to prose cute and the youngster was discharged. Dnowzrnn OANAL.—Last evening, a man named John Mall, aged 35 years, fell into the Schuylkill canal, at the locks, near Manayunk, and was drowned.

ROASTED ALMONDS.—The finest Roasted Almonds manufactured, CorrnT MoTTSRs.—The following addi tional sentences were passed by Judge Van dyke, at the close of the Camden County Courts: Frederick Spooler, convicted of selling liquor on Sunday, was sentenced to pay a fine of $3O and costs ; Alonzo Brown and Charles Hetzler, the two men who figured so extensively in passing counter feit money in Caruden,and upon whom large sums ;were found, retracted their former plea of "not guilty," and pleaded guilty, they were sentenced, Brown to four years, and Hetzler to four years and six months in the penitentiary. William Burrough, Aaron Peterson and John Osborn, assault and battery, were severally fined ten dollars and costs. Frederick Munster, assault and battery, was fined the same amount. Jesse Peterson, ditto, one dollar and costs. Josiah Casbat, who had been previously sentenced to five years' imprisonment, had his sen tence remitted to eighteen months. Eliza beth 'Ennis, burglary, sentence reserved. William Coy, for attempting to compound a felony, was ordered to pay $35 and costs. John Osborn and Jesse Peterson, for settling higway robbery, ten dollars and costs each. Tar MARL TRADE.—The extensive marl beds in the vicinity of Glassboro, and which have been fuccessfully worked for the past two years, appear to be inexhaustible. Hundreds of tons of the most excellent quality, are taken out weekly, which are sent to all sections along the lines of the West Jersey, Salem and Cape May Rail roads. The West Jersey Marl Company have found this marl region of Gloucester county rich in that indispensable article for agricultural purposes, and several trains of cars are daily used in transporting it to market. When the geological survey of the several counties of West and South Jei - say is completed, it will be found that the marl composes a material constituent of its mineral resources. In many places, too, a pretty good quality of bog iron ore is found, but the percentage of good iron in it hag not been found sufficient to make it profita ble, when such large quantities of excellent ores are found in the mountains north of Trenton. THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—Now that nature has given the streets and highways of Cam den a healthful washing, removing there from that kind of accumulative filth which street cleaners generally leave untouched, it would be a wise policy in Council to see that the heaps of ashes and other heavy bodies which the rain could not carry away, are re moved from. the streets, alleys and lanes. Warm weather will soon be upon us, and the sanitary condition of the city requires that every ed place should be purged and p. DETENTION or TRAlNS.—Yesterday morn ing the six o'clock train from Amboy to Trenton via Bordentown ran off the track near South River, and the engine and several cars were precipitated down an em bankment. The engineer and firemen saved themselves by jumping from the train, and although the locomotive and two or three of the cars were badly broken up, fortunately no one was seriously injured. It was a long time before the track was cleared, and consequently the other trains were greatly delayed. INSTALLATION.—On Thursday afternoon next the Rev. Mr. Rose, who hus been chosen by the congregation of the First Bap tist Church, as their Pastor will be. ordained, and in the evening the ceremonies of instal lation will take place. A series of very in teresting meetings will immediately take place thereafter, which can scarcely fail to result in much good to the public as well as the Church. Mumax, STnErr.—Early last spring the Camden city Council passed an ordinance authorizing the construction of a culvert in Mickle street, but had so far neglected to build it. The residents on the street are suffering from their neglect, by having the Are those prepared by STEPHEN P. WHITILIC-4, Bia. MEI Market street. New Jem!wyMatters. basement kitchens and cellars flooded. with. water. Why do the Council refuse to build it? The citizens are ready to pay for it the moment the work is finished. NEW Bunnnias.—Contracts `for about fifty new buildings have already been entered into by different - parties in Camden, and the work on, them will be commenced early•in the spring. There will be more im provements made during the present year than in any season for ten years past. AMUSEMENTS. Tun CHESTNUT.—Notwithstanding the inclement weather a good house attended the first representation of "Henry Dunbar; or, the Outcasts," at the Chestnut last night. The play is worthy the high commendation it has already received in New York and other cities, and will, no doubt, have a very prosperous run at the Chestnut. Mr. Mor daunt acted the imposter, Henry Dunbar, and the detected criminal, James Wilmot, as well as it seems possible for any artist to act. His disguise as the Colonel was scarcely complete, but that was a trifling fault after his masterly! personation of the first two characters. Mr. Clarke delighted and astonished the audience by his capital personation of the - Major; the ludicrods, audacious and pathetic parts being equally sustained. He did not slight any opportu nity for most versatile acting,and the house evidently thought so. Mr. J. T. Ward gave a portrait of a detective far above the ave rage of the burlesques *a generally see in sensation plays. Mr. Moreland's Balderly was the best thing he has ever done, and surprised and pleased us with its ability. Mr. Foster's Clement Austin was good; it was tastefully and delicately delineated. We can also give hearty praise to the ladies in the cast. Miss Orton's Margaret Went worth was so fine that the sympathies of the audience were with her from the beginning of the play to the fall of the curtain, and she "brought down the house" frequently by her irresistible expression of various phases of feeling. This will rank with her very best and most impassioned characters, such as Cicely Homespun in "The Heir at Law." Miss Ward and Mrs. Keach also gave very excellent delineations of Mary Lighty and Laura Dunbar. Our eulogy need not stop here, for we could say much in praise of the scenery which adorned the stage. It could not have been more admirable. It will be useless to spoil the pleasure of those who have not read "The Outcasts" by detailing the bold and extraordinary plot of the drama, while those who have read Miss Braddon's Story do not need the exposition. "Henry Dunbar" will be repeated during the week, except at to-morrow's matinee, when "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be given. THE ARCH.—"Othello" was the attraction at the Arch last evening and so great an at traction did it prove that the house was crowded. Mr. Waller played Othello with energy, taste and discrimination, and re ceived hearty recognition of his great merit from the entire audience. Mrs. Waller es sayed the arduous character of lago. She played this part at the Walnut some years since, if our memory is to be relied on, and won high encomiums at that time. Last evening she made the personation even more able and striking. If it be not an Irishism we might say she was a thorough master of the peculiar turns and changes of the demeanor of lago, and in the gay and "honest" scenes coram the populi of the tragedy she was superb. Able support was afforded Mr. and Mrs. Waller by the excel lent company at the Arch, and the entire play gave genuine and hearty satisfac. ion. This evening "The Duchess of Malfi" will be repeated, with "John Copps" for an afterpiece. THE WALNUT.—CIarke again appears in "The Comedy of Errors" and in "Dicky's Wooing." "The Youth Who Never Saw a Woman" will close the entertainment. This bill drew a vast house last evening. AT THE AMERICAN the attractions are varied. Wallett is still presenting his quips and quirks. THE PEAK FAMILY are at Assembly Building, in the large hall. BLITZ is entertaining the little ones and others more mature, with the Sphynx and other marvels. INTERESTING PATRIOTIC READINGS.-OR the WA inst. Mr. S. K. Murdoch will give a series of choice patriotic readings at Assem bly Building. General Geary on the Tariff. General Geary has written the following excellent letter: As I am constantly in receipt of many letters, asking substantially the same ques tion, namely: " Whether I am in favor of a protective tariff, I desire to avail myself of your widely circulated journal for the pur pose of briefly expressing my opinion upon this subject. I am in favor of the encouragement of Home Industry, and of extending such pro tection to American manufactures as will make us entirely independent of any foreign country. Our true policy should be to sup ply our wants, so far as we can, from our own resources, thus giving remunerative employment to our own people, instead of reducing their wages, by compelling them to attempt to compete with the ill-paid labor of Europe. By means of a protective tariff we develop the resources of our country, increase the value of property, open up new sources of wealth, multiply the pursuits of industry, create a good market for all kinds of agricultural pro ducts• in_a word, we set in motion a system which, while it benefits all classes of com munity, does no injury to any. Nature has been lavish of her gifts to us. She has given us mountains of iron, inexhaustible fields of coal, a bounteous supply of the precious metals, while our soil and climate are capable of producing almost every variety found in the vegetable kingdom. American genius and enterprise have given to the world most of those grand inventions in machinery, through whose agencies the world has been revolutionized. It would seem that we possess all of the elements to make us a great and indepen dent nation. To ignore the existence of these great natural advantages, is to be blind to our own interests; to fail to improve them, and to profit by them, is to pursue a suicidal policy. The interest on a portion of our na tional debt must be paid in coin. Is it wise to deplete the country of all the specie it produces annually, and to cut off the foun tain which supplies us with a hundred mil lions of revenue? To attempt this policy is to render ourselves unable to pay the inte rest upon the public debt, and which, in the end, would compel us to resort to repudia tion. The man who. expends three times as much as he earns, will soon be reduced to beggary% Nations cannot escape disaster unless they conduct their affairs upon the basis of'sound practical wisdom. To sum up this great question, in brief, I think tlat protection to every branch of our industry is imperatively demanded and ought to be advocated by every true friend of our country. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JOHNW. GEARY. THROUGH the carelessneSs of an intoxi cated nurse four wards of the. Cumberland Hospital, at Nashville,-Tenn., - were burned on the Ist instant. About one hundred pa tients were in the- wards, many of whom were suffering from limbs lately amputated, but all were removed in safety The nurse, i a discharged soldier, perished n the flames. Men who were suffering severely were heard to exclaim: "Don't take any trouble about us, we can be removed at any time:" while others who were only slightly unwell were clamorous in their enteaties to be carried away.
