The old lady, now past eighty years of age; turned out again at National Hall, during the recent Convention of the "Boys in Blue," and worked with the beet and strongest of the "Union Volunteers" during the .three days of the Convention. The Massachusetts men pay their compliments to the Union Volunteer -Re freahment Committee and "Auntie Wade," in the following terms: The Executive Committee of the Massachusetts army and navy delegation to Philadelphia is in structed by a vote of the delegates to return the thanks of the delegation to the patriotic ladies of Philadelphia, especially to'the generous and open hearted ladies of the UDIOD - Volunteer Refresh ment Saloon, including the never-to-be-forgotten "Aunt Wade," for the hospitality extended the Massachusetts delegation upon the recent Phila delphia expedition, which hospitality bas only been equalled by that extended during the war.

S. Williams, of Cambridge, and citizens of Boston, whose gener ous liberality rendered the excursion a complete success.

Aitken Meigs entered upon his duties as Professor of the Institutes of Medi cine and Medical Jurisprudence in Jefferson Med ical College, by delivering an inaugural address upon the "Correlation of the Physical and Vital Forces." In addition to a large and enthusiastic class of students, there were present many dis tinguished physicians, lawyers and divines, to gether with a number of our prominent citizens, attracted by the fame of the lecturer, and the enthusiasm manifested by the medical profession to secure his election in June last. After,paying a glowing tribute to the labors and worth of Professor Di - mason, the late in cumbent of this chair, he gave an elaborate ac count of the recent progress of science in relation to the correlation qt the physical and vital forces, and showed conclusively that all real advance ment in physiology was due to the application to this science of the methods of research em ployed in chemistry and physics. He especially directed attention to the labors in this field of Dr. Metcalfe, of Kentucky, for many years a resident of this city, and of Lardner Vanuxem, one of the early members of the Academy ol" Na tural Sciences, claiming for them priority in the enunciation of the correlation theory over Pro fessors Grove, Carpenter and other English wri ters. Prof. Meigs discoursed to his large and intelli gent audience for fully an hour and a half, and was listened to with profound attention. We have rarely listened to each a combinatiow,of eloquence and scientific research as was exhibited in this lecture, and we congratulate the Tru-tees of the Jefferson Medical College upon their wisdom in electing one whb Is evidently, by his studies and his practical expert:d - be as a ph3sician, so well fitted to fill the responsible position of a teacher of Physiology.

IT is WONDERFUL how cheap goods are sold at Gays China Palace!lo22 Chestnut street. The stock was all selected by Mr. Gay in person from the largest manufactories in Europe. The cause of their being so remarkably cheap is the great reduction of prices on the other side of the water. Business being very dull, ail the manufacturers have large stocks on hand, and are willing to discount largely to effect sales. Below we quote prices of a few staple goods. Fancy are at a still greater discount.
