In the London Times of November 29, we noticed the following announcement: Slit B BnoDiK.—Wo (the Lancet) have re&eon to believe that Sir B Brodle is to ho raised to the -peerage with the title of Baron Betohworth. ■/ '.'At last fwe said to ourself—at last there will be a modieal peer. Statesmen, diploma tists, soldiers, Bailors,' lawyers, bankers—in otb’or words, Craft, Conrago, Chicanery, and Cash—have contributed to swell the British Peerage, but the medical profession has nover sent.one member into the House of Lords. Coronets for all classes—except the doctors. True, Viscount Siimoutii, who. had boon Prime Minister, was son of a petty Berkshire medical man, for which Geouqe Canning— whose own mother was an actress, and'not good at that—ridiculed him in the Jlnh-Jaco bin Renew, so that the nickname.of “The .Doctor” clung to him, ever after, notwith standing his peerage. Bat, up to this very hour, not one medical peor. 'Well, it is novef too' late to moke amends. •'•The founder of the princely race of the Jl'edici once followed the healing art, and was Sd proud of his profession that he took its ti tle tor,a family of liis own, and,, even- yot, three golden ’pills are'the the -Medici, and of that beautiful Lombardy which onee they ruled. Nay, tho first pawn brokers in London, who were also the bankers, came from Lombardy, and congregated ia Lombard street, as it still is named, where they put up the three golden balls of the Medici -to denote their country, "which balls are Btill suspended over the philanthropic domiciles where money is lent on pledges— the hapleßs relatives of ; “ my Undo ” believ ing that the mystic sigidfieation of the throe golden bails is that tbe ohanees are two to one agMnat tho .redemption of such pledges. Sir Benjamin CoiniKsßaopiE, wo.thought, is a capital fellow for the peerage, though, being now In his seventy-sixth year, hd cah scarcely be called a ydnng Lord, .though his will be a new creation. Every medical man who can read English hooks, (and*many, wlio cannot,) Is aware of Bbodie’s high reputation as a ' surgeon, anatomist; pathologist, and physiologist’. His professional writings are numerous and valuable. He is a member of tbs Institute of France, and of other learned societies in Europe and America. He is Sergeant-surgeon to Qnoen Victobia, and was'made a Baronet in 1884. In short, he is at the top of the tree, and also has nmde a largo fortune by bis practice, so that 'be can respectably ■ sustain what is called “ the dig nity of the pedrago.” If there are to home-, dlcal peers in England, we thought, Baoms Is a, good man to commonco with. In oth'er parts of Europe, whore nobility is cheap—ydu can purchase a title, in Italy’ for $l,OO0 — me dical men,, already ennobled bj merit, have fhrther) received the titular distinction of pa tented-ronk. Napoleon’s great surgeon, 'LarbaY, was made a Peer of France, and 'so Was, DuPuifttiN, the ' groatest of modern .Frenok physiologists. ■Reading over tho London, Times in duo order of dato, so,as to have the news consecu tively, we took up tho number for November 80th, after that for the 29th. In dno course, we foil upon the following -. "Wo are requested to state that there is uo truth in the announcement contained in a para. , traph extraoted from the Lancet which appeared [a-the Time,’ of yesterday, to tho effect that it .was intended to confer a peerage on Sir Benjamin Brodle. 1 ’ ' ; What a disappointment! No medical pepr, •after all. • Toll lies, ad an Ambassador; turn (jour poat, as a politician; sabre Sepoys, as a soldier; bombaftl ‘unuTTchdi'tig Dawns,* -hi-®* sailor; make the worse appear the' bet ter'reason, as a lawyer; shave bills as a banker, and some line day, the British prime minister will hand your name to Queen Yio toria, as that ot a man who ought to be placed abovo his neighbors, with a coronet upon bis head and a lordly handle to fils name; but devote nearly sixty yoats ot a life oi labor and study to the successful prac tice of the most humanizing of arts, that of alleviating pain and restoring health, and you are not worthy, one of your class is not worthy, to be honored as Sovereigns hoiior, by nobility, lawyers, money-changers, fight ers, turn-coats, changelings' of party, and such • like. What a strange system! •As if a good doctor, a skilful surgeon, a scientific pathologist, n great phy siologist, like Richard Owes, who is the pride et bis profession, is not a far greater man than « the Moat Noble Union John De Buboh, Marquis of Clanrickarde, Viscount Burke, Baron Dbnkellin and Sokerhill, Knight of St. Patrick, Privy Councillor to Queon Viotobia, and ex-Ambassador to Prus sia,” who is as noted a blackleg as any of ;the same profession on the Mississippi steamboats, who has been accused ot forging his own Son’s acceptances, whose moral character would exclude him from decent society if ho were not a peer, and whose appointment to an office in the Cabinet, in the teeth of public opinion and private remonstrance, was the last. brazen act which helped to break down Lord Palmerston last spring. It really does seem hard that medical men, however worthy, are excluded from the Bri tish Peerage. There is no admission into; the Honse of Lords for them. What does It mat ter t Let them continue to be, what wo have often found them, God Almighty’s own noble men. Brodie will not bo the less honored because ho is not to bo- addressod as Lord Betchwobtii. To use a couplet from a'for gotten poem by Charles Phillips, still living, and once known as “the celebrated Irish orator,” This poor tenant of the sod > Draws hU nobility from God.” Even the humbler hereditary rank of Baro not—which, we assure inquiring correspon dents, is not a degree of nobility—has not 6ften been, conferred on medical men in England. One of the earliest recipients of this rank was the celebrated Sir Henry Halford, on whom it was conferred in 1800. This gentleman was the beau ideal of a Court Physician. Inj him were united great tact and courteous gentle ness ! his appearance and manners wore, gen tlemanly and graceful) and, abovo all,.he possessed consummate skill. He was physi cian, and we might add friend, to four succes sive British Sovereigns; and his practice, which extended over half a oentury, averaged $lOO,OOO per annum for more than half that period. He was an accomplished scholar as well as an elegant gentleman and a skilful physician. Ho wrote Batin poems of high merit, and his professional works have always been held in high estimation. Sir Henry Halford, with all these qualifications, was once within an ace of being raised to the Peer age. The story, as wo have heard it, was as follows Georoe tho Fourth, who had repoatedly been indebted for restoration of health or alle viation of suffering to Henry Halford, and who' delighted in bis society, determined to 'raise him to the Peerage, it is said, and com municated this intention to the intended reci pient of tho title. One point was of import ance—had Sir Henry sufficient landed pro perly for a peer ? Tho rule is that, except in such extreme cases as raising a lawyer to the rank of Lord Chancellor, or giving rank to a successful soldier, sailor, or diplomatist, no Baronetcy is conferred unless there bo £6,000 per annum in porpotuity to support the rank, and double that property when a man is made a Baron. The graduation is £lO,OOO for simple Lord or Baron; £16,000 for a Vis count; £BO,OOO ior an Earl; £50,000 for a Marquis, and £lOO,OOO per annum for a Duke. In reply to tho question about his means, Sir Henry Halford stated that his landed es tates in Leicestershire were worth £15,000 a year, and that he was heir to his rich brothor, Judge V auqitan, who was childless. In those days, Lord Liverpool was Prime Minister, and the King had to obtain his con sent to the new peerage, for the British So No. 6.8112 per doi. 6. 1 26 < 7. 1 60 *• 8. 1 76 « The Doctors, vereign, who reigns but does not govern, can not appoint even a tax-collector without eyen his Premier’s consent,—the Monarch not being responsible, while the Minister is. Lord Li vebpool, himself only the grandson of a mere Boidier of fortune, had a parvenu’s dislike to any increase of the peerage, and received the King’s suggestion "with, scarcely concealed disapprobation. He submitted,thai there was no precedent for creating a medical peer. Tho royal reply was that .it was time to make ene; that tho nobility-would be offended by, one .of their order going about from house to house, fooling pulses and bagging foes—the - King said that; of course, tho pew peer would re linquish, his medical practice. In short, the King had a reply to every objection. Tho Minister, who was as obstinate aßthe Monarch, then changed his tactics, and went on to laugh at the idea. With his solemn pomp, which he called dignity, Geoboe the Fourth,, who im prisoned and fined Leioh Hunt for calling him “a dandy of fifty,” was painfully afraid of ri dicule. It wasonthis that his Minister had him, at last. - A baron’s coronet is distinguished by having four pearls on tho rim or circle which goes Upon the head.- Lord Livebpool said, “ Hal pobp is a handsome fellow, and'the coronot is will become him—but does not your Majesty think that the poarls may be mistaken for puts}” This was a home-threat, and it was followed up with the Inquiry, “ Has the new 'peer’s title heen chosen 7” ' The King said• that .ho believed not, but he supposed that Halpobd would like to bo cajlod from Wistow or Newton Harcourt,the names.of his Leices tershire estates. Because,” added the Pre-- mier, “if the name he not ohosen, I would' suggest, as very characteristic-of your new peer’s profession, that yoiii; Mqjdsty'direct his patent of nobility to describe hljta as the “good Lord T ’ . The-Fact, wds. that had, f .jjarely prastised ee.accoucheur, but the King’ufd not' like to be laugbed.at>',flmd,/tli.e;:ass’oolatiqn.of ideas suggested- by Lord XrvShpoon’s wit— tho only Ibatance in which that soiehin official mafia a so lndicirous that front that hour neither Sir Henbt Haliobb nor anyone, else heard 'a, syllable of the intended peerage. Thus it was that the .only chance on record of. ohanging adoctor into a nobleman was literally laughed away. . ' ,' ! . We have spoken here of the urbanity of Halfobb. In contradistinction we might give, examples of the brusqneneaa of Dr. Rad, clivpe, the' eccentricity of Lettsom, the ab ruptness, of BKDboEs, and the positive ill manners of John Abebnktht. There is al most a cyclopaedia of . medical anecdote, tra dition, and. gossip which a writer who had time and inclination, with- some little ability, might readily work np into readable articles. The Material Resources of the Great Sonthwest. (Oorraapoadence of The Press.] ’ WrANnoTT,(K. T.,1 Deo. 8,1858. The deep interest that yea have always mani fested in tho development and progress of oar whole eoaatry—the sound national position that, daring an active, prominent, and, for yonr age, a long politioal lifo, has always characterised your polioy—and, particularly, the. deep interest that you have taken In every measure calculated to open to American enterprise and industry: the' great interior—promptjme ;to present for the consideration of your readers a few.faots in refe-'. renee to the soil and climate, and also the mineral and agricultural resources, of the groat South west.- ' What I mean by the great Southwest is that extensive region of country south and West of the Missouri river, and extending, if you please, to tho Paoifio coast. ■ In our sobool-boy days we found written aoross the faceof this region on tbe maps, “The Great American Desert,” and at once associated it with the descriptions given by Oaptain Riley, of the said plains of Central Afrfoa; these impres slons romain nnoorreoted In the minds of the great balk of the American people until this time. Geographers have gradually olroumsorihed tbe Desert region with each edition of their maps. i>nrtny>tPVU'eri»»tr»»W~x<dnnftiDa l in tliq -pplufl* of many tbat great bulk ot thatextencive xegteßp sloping eastwardly from tbe Rooky mountains,' is useless for all purposes exoept that of a wide range for the monster natives of the plains—the millions of buffalo that roam unattended and unprovided for, exoept by the band of Nature, oyer tl{e faoe of the country. Aside from tbe faots developed by late explore ore, in reference to the fertility and susceptibility of cultivation of this region, the fact, that in a state of nature this “ desert" oan maintain, both winter and sammer, a population of millions of buffalo, elk, antelope, deer,’ Ac., Is conclusive evidence that itsoapaolty as an agricultural coon try has been greatly underrated, and that when developed it willbeeome tbe great pasture-ground for the Amerioan Union, ana be made to yield a rich harvest by the band of industry. Its distance from market Has been a great ob stacle in the minds of many to Its settlement and cultivation, and, in this point of view, yen will please allow me to consider it for a momont. The time was when a seotlon of oountry re moved but a few miles from tbo sea coast or the channel of a great navigable river was justly eoßsidered too inaccessible for profitable cultiva tion ; but the trinmphs of science, industry, and enterprise for tbe past quarter of a oentury ever time and space, are bringing inte close proximity the ends of the earth, and making tho heart of the vast continent tho immediate neighbor of oar seaboard oities. • - ■ Those arteries of trade, the railroads of oar country, are penetrating all parts of this great in terior, until fresh prairie fattod beef is now being sold in tbe markets of New York, and perhaps in your own city of Philadelphia. Push forward these lines a few miles farther, and you may feast on tbe rich flavored flesh of the oattle of the thou sand hills in tbecentre of tbe “great American Desert ” of our boyhood days, end tbe wool of our sheep may be whirling upon your Philadelphia spindicß two days after it shall have left the book of our flocks on tbe vast plains of the interior, and in a few moro days the dressed cloth will clothe our population. Prom Ibis point south to tbo Gulf of Mexico, a few hundred mites of railroad will oonnectus with the whole southern ooast of tbe Union, Mexico, and South America, and the tropical productions of these regions will be exobanged in our great in land cities for the productions of our soil and mines, and your manufacturing establishments. Penetrate still farther West, until tbe “iron horse ” is checked by tho waves of tho great Pa* oifio, and tbe trade of Asia, will find its way to the heart of tbe American Union, and through it to onr Eastern seaboards, enriching, os it passes/ tho millions that will be profitably engaged in producing from our oxbaustless soil tbe elements of national greatness and individual wealth. To those who are always two - decades behind the age, these anticipations may loom ; up only In the dim diatanoo of the first half of the next cen tury, but to your Young Amerioan vision, and to the eye of the aotivo and progressive spirits who hayo urged forward the oar of progress and tho great enterprises that have marked the age in whloh we live, their realisation within a few abort years becomes a fixed faot. - gome of us who aro yot young oan reoellect when the “Conestoga wagon ” was solely relied on to transport, the trade botwoon your oity and the great west, and many yot live who witnessed tho great stride in tbe march of improvement that exobanged tbe.paok-horse for tho wagon. At that time had anypno pictured the net wotk of railroads that now develop the immense re sources of a portion of tbo groat West, and counted the steamboats that oarry the inland trade of the 1 young giantesses of the wilderness that have been born imA admitted into the Amorioan sisterhood within that time, Ms anticipations would have been looked upon as the offspring of a wild imagi nation, never to be realised. In view, then, of what has been done, and in view of-tho growing necessity of greater efforts, our constantly-increasing ability to accomplish, tho rich nnd extensive field of enterprise open before us, and the magnitude of the final result, may wo not anticipate muoh more than we have written abovo without overtasking tho energios of the Amerioan people, or ovor-estimating the high standard of industry and enterprise to wbioh we havo attained? . As an evidence of the oapaoity of “ the Great American Desert,” yon will permit me to present a few statistical facts: Yon are aware that the regions bordering on tbe Missouri river, including the State of Missouri, Kansas, Western lowa, Nebraska, and Da Cotab, are yetvery sparsely populated—in fact, almost in a state of nature —ana yet tho trade of this region employed, during tho business portion of tho past season, ho less than six y first-class steamboats. It is sofo to say that, at the rate at whioh emigra tion has poured into this region within a short time, in throe or four years the population of tho oountry,dopendent, at this time, on that river, as a means or access to market,' will be inoreased five-fold, and its trade ten-fold; multiply Bixty by ten, and we have plying upon one of tho .rivers that penotrate into tho heart of tho “Great Southwest’’ no loss than six hundred first-olass steamboats, carrying tho trade of a nation. Tho magnitude of the tredo of New Moxieo, oemmohly called the. “Santo Pa Trade,’’ and other localities south apd west of us, is astonishing and iuoredibie to those who know nothing of tho extent and natural" resources of that region, ex copt what they gather from tho imperfeot sohool ge S®e'Business during tho past sea son, has employed no loss than ton thousand wn-f cons drawn by 120,000 mules and oxon and drivon, counting but two men to-a team, by twonty thou sand men— an army equdl to nearly double the strength of tho whole effeotivo force of the stand ing army of the United States, and at a cost th»t would almost bankrupt the national treasury. Lotus look at a few of the principal Hems of expense to which this trodo Is subjeotod; 10,000 largo wagons at $lOO . *51,000,000. 120,000 mules ana oxen at $OO , 7,200,000 20,000 men at $3OO eaoh 6,000,000 Aggregate .14,200,000 TWO CENTS. Independently of contingencies, .wbioh aJL-prac-, tio&l men know will greatly Bwelf the'grand total. An annual investment and expense/equal to the cost of a first-olass railroad several hundred miles in length, is thus .thrown upon the trade of tho plains fn one year. 1 To what conclusion are w’e forced from these faots ? Plainly this; That a country almost in a state of the tradejofiwbioh-dan support tbe expenses of this most expensive means of trans portation will, when doVelOped by the modenrim proyoments in inland transportation, afford an ag-' gregate of commeroe that would'be courted by the first oities of the'worid. 1 ■ iUi • * l,l *•- . .

Peyton, agent of the Government, ‘recently arrested, iin West Tennessee*. Henry ."Wright, Esq.,, a lawyer of Lexington, Henderson oonnty, and Willis'N. Arnold, of the same oonnty, charged with forging pension papers. The two prisoners werobrought to Nashville, and an examination of the oase oqm menoed on Wednesday before Judge Humphreys. In the mean time, Wright, who:had exhibited symptoms of aberration on his way to this city,', became frantically insane, or apparently so, and was committed to jail as onfit for trial. Saturday, measures were taken to subject the prisoner to a medical examination, aad ascertain if his insanity is real or methodioal. Mr. Wright was a lawyor in good standing in Lexington, and was formerly a partner of Hon. Kit. Williams. He came origi nally from Massachusetts to Knoxville, in this State, and was engaged as professor or tutor in the ooliege at that plaoe.< Daring that engagemeni he beoame smitten with the charms of a young lady of that oity, and being repulsed, he beoameinsane, and wandered off. .He was next heard of in Jock son, Tennessee, where he-taught soheol, studied law, entered upon the practice, and married. He has a wife and one ohild—a daughter. “ The indications of insanity were very strong on Wednesday, Mr. Wright tearing his olothea and resisting his guard with apparently super human strength. Wo looked into hiaooll yester day He had diveatod himself of his olothing, which was scattered about the room, and sat up right upon the floor, entirely enveloped in - a blanket. No persuasion could induce him to show h!s face, net even to an old. acquaintance and friend. Colonel Torbitt, who, at the request of’the conrt, has undertaken the legal management of his oase. “ Tho examination of Arnold proceeded yester day, and resnlted in his being bound over in $lO,-- 000 for himself, and two securities in $lO,OOO. In default of security he was committod; We un derstand there will be no difficulty in procuring bail os soon as the relatives of the prisoner; are advised of the result of the examination.” Tho Last Drive at Douglas* (Prom the Cleveland Plain Dealer ] The United States Senate is just now making a very silly exhibition of itself before the world.. A gentleman who has served, twelve-years in that body, with great oredlt to himself and high honor to the whole country, is sought to be degraded, through the machinery of the oauqps aotion of that body, for differing In opinion on a single fcnbjeot,. and that subject one on whioh he ana his consti tuents almost unanimously agree.' If Mr. Dou glas was wrong upon that subject, it would not be right,to tnus proscribe him for an error of opinion.

It was the intention of the Kansas-Nebraska bill to inaugurate ,a now polioy in regard to tho government of the Territories—that in stead of Congress legislating for a distant Terri tory, tho people should be allowed to legislate for ibemaelves. This polioy was acquiesced iu, and the views of the Senator from Illinois fully en dorsed) net only by tbe Democratic .majority in both branches of Congress, but by every Demo* oratlo delegate from, every Congressional district in the United States to the last National Conven tion. It is upon this platform tho Senator from Illinois now stands, and it is by tho popular sovereignty principle of that polioy he is to fall, if fall he must. If Presidential conspiracies and Senatorial caucuses have power to put him down, he will go down with his flog flying.

' [From the London Morning Post.] A ease which promises to be of considerable in terest in literary and elub circles, and which will raise an important and novel point, is to bo tried at one of the common law courts ai Westminster. It arises out of the dispute between Mr. Thacke ray and Mr. Edmund Tates, both members of the Garrick Club, whioh arose under the following circumstances: Under the title of “Literary 'Jalk,” Mr. Tates published an article having for its subject Mr. W. M. Thackeray, and thus de scribes “ his appearance “ Mr. Tbaokeray is forty-six yean old, (hough from the silvery whiteness of his hair he appears somewhat older. Be -is very tall, standing up ward of six feet two inches, and, as he walks ereot, his height makes him conspicuous in every assem bly. t His face is bloodless, and - hot - particularly expressive; but remarkable for tbe fracture of the bridge of the.nose, tho result of an accident iu youth. He wears a amall gray whisker, but othor wiso is dean sbaven. ' No one meeting him would fail to recognise in him a gentleman. His bearing iacoldacd uninviting; his style of conversation either openly cynical or affectedly good-natured and benovolent; his Bonhommte is forced, his wit biting, his pride easily touched; but his appear ance is invariably that of a cool, suave , welLbrod gentleman, who, whatever may be rankling within, suffers no surface display of hia emotion. ‘ Mr.' Tates - then proceeded, to comment on Mr. Thackeray’s genius: “It was with the publica tion of the third or fourth numbers of ‘ Vanity Fair that ho began to dawn upon the reading public as a great genius.” Then, “Hissaoceaß oulminated with ‘ Lectures on English Humorists of the Eighteenth Century,’ which were attended by all tho court and fashion of London. The prices were extravagant; the lecturer’s adulation of birth and position were extravagant ; the success ,wa3 extravagant.” Tbepublioation of tbe article in'quQstion having been brought to the knowledge .of Mr.; Thackeray - , he wrote to Mr. Yates, deserib 'iog the article “ to be not offensive and unfriend ly merely, but slanderdus and untrue.” Mr. Thackeray.concluded with-the following admonition “I beg,‘as I have a right to do, that you will refrain from printing comments upon my private conversation, that you will forego dUoussion', how ever blundering, on my private affairs, and that you will henceforth pleaso to consider any ques tion of my personal truth and sincerity as quite out of the province. of your criticism.” Mr, Yates immediately rejoined by a letter, in which ho rejected Mr. Thaokeray’s u angry un derstanding” of his phrases, adding : “If your letters were not slanderous and un true, I should readily have discussed the aubjeot With you, and avowed my earneßt and frank de sire to set right anything I may have left wrong.” Mr. Thackeray then submitted the correspond ence whioh had passed between Mr. Yates and himself, together with a copy of the article to whioh he had taken exception, to the committee of the Garrick Club. Mr. Yates, having heard that Mr. Thackeray had adopted this course, wrote to ask the committee to suspend their judg ment until he could prepare his own version of thooaie; and subsequently, wrote to the commit tee, questioning their right to entertain the mat ter at all. “The artiole,” ho said, “may bo in exceedingly bad taste, but the committee is not a committee of tastd.” ' The committee, at a special meeting, resolved that it, was. competent to them to entertain .Ur. Th&okeray’s oomplaint, that the complaint itself was well grounded, and that the praotic© of pub lishing snob articles, being reflections by one mem .her-of the club against any other, would be fatal to the comfort of the olub and intolerable in a so ciety of gentlemen. The committee further re solved that Mr. Yates was bound to make “ au ample apology,” or., retire from the club. Mr. Yates deolined either to retire or to apologise, and stated ho would appeal to a general meeting on two questions—first, whother theoase between Mr. Tbaokeray and himself was such a ease as should be submitted to the committee at all ; and, se condly, “whether Mr. Thackeray has any right to Call for .an apology from me when he had so ar rogantly and coarsely addressed me.” The result was that Mr. Yates’s subscription waa returned, and it was intimated to him that ho was expelled from the olub. He has insti tuted an action against the commitee for trespass, in refusing to allow him to' enter the club, and this will raise the important question, as affeoting the rights of members generally, whether the olub had tho right to expel Mr. Yates or not. It is understood that there will be a large array of legal talent on both sides Tho Attorney-General has been retained for the committee of the Garrick club. Mr. Edwin James, Q- C.. Is to lead the caao on behalf of the plaintiff) Mr. Edmund Yates.
