Lieut Ord. dat Jshia® Medical College ef the New York U, Mr. Benrerr:— You were liberal enough to insert my comments upon the N. ¥, Medical College, and, but for the many professional engagements which crowd upon me, I should have replied before to the queries contained in your remarks upon the article. I now append your remarks :— Remanxs.—Pray, what does the ‘friend and physi- ciaw’ want? We donot understand exactly the nature of his objections. Can he explain himself ?” Individually, the “friend and physician” wants nothing,—he is neither a teacher nor does he aspire to that honor, but as an educated physician he de- sires that they who assume to be the instructors of your youth, should conform to the demands of the age in all that pertains tothe departments they pro- toteach. Weare the avewed udvocate and nd of the institution in qu versity tion, and gesire that naught should be “set down in malice.” ‘The nature In of our “ objections” can be readily presented. 1837, the Council of the N. ¥. Unive cordance with the wants of the professi ed establishing a Medical Department some fifteen or twenty professorships. Many of the professors were appointed but, from the un- wicldy character of the machine, it could nét be put in motion, Subsequently, one or more of the present able faculty attempted a new organization upon a more contracted basis. ‘i he result you have seen. They advertised to the profession that they had established a great National Institution, and invited not only the support of our city, but of the entire country. ‘The avove facts will enable us to make a comment upon the two plans, so as to dc- velope an answer to your last enquiry The conception of the Council in 1887, was doubt- less based upon a proper estimate of the vast rami- fications of the medical profescion; but from the ing mode of instruction (however correct their views may have been) the plan was Utopian. The period of medical education could not allow of so extended and diffuse a curriculum. Let it net be urged that these views will maintain Hig inst the suygestion which we shall offer; for while this error was irremediable on the one extrem e error upon the opposite, although remediable, might, if persisted in, be equally tatal. In avoiding Scylla, do not strike upon Charybdis. The error of which we complain, is, that in contracting,— the Council ef the University have overlooked the wants, nay the immediate demands of the profes- sion. That we are not peculiar in this view, we point you to every well established and reputable medical school in our country. Where do you find six professorships embracing the whole range of medical study? Where are the important branch- es of Physiology and Pathology allowed to lie con- cealed by the effal of the anatomical chain, or dint and lustrously peering from the rubbish of demol- ished, antiquated theories of medicine? They stand proudly among the departments, and, in their beauty and brilliancy, shine by their own and not reflected light. Attempt to conceal them, and they but display the meagreness of every barrier. They deserve by their own nierits a distinct place; but if they possess not this claim, the profession stil deem them entitled to individuality; and he would be a reckless creature who would not heed this demand, In the existing faculty, there sre men of talents and extensive views, and we would appeal to them individually, whether they do not betieve that their organization is incomplete without the chair of Phy- siology and Pathology? We ask Dr Pattison, if with the multiterm duties of hia chair, embracing Genesal, Special, and Surgical Anatomy, he can present a full and succinct description of all investigations which have resulted in the magnificent strructure of modern Physiology We appeal to Professor Re- vere, to say whether the fundamental and essential substratum of ull the theories of medicine,—the de- scription of individual diseases, their terminations, &c., are not dependent upon a thorough acquaint- ance with Physiology and Pathology? We solicit Doctors Mott and Draper, to declare, whether the organization of the present faculty is in accordance with the present demands of the profession? Whe- ther it would be tolerated in any part of Europe; in England or on the continent? It weuld not; and the history of Medical Education in this country, inde- pendent of Europe, offers a sufficient reply. If not, why announce to the profession a ‘* National Insti- tution” destitute of the elements for instruction? Why compromit, in the eyes of the world, the ad- vantages of this great city for Medical instruction ? Are the resources of New-York again to be repudi- ated, and we to witness the rival city assuming the sway, and declaring hersel! ‘* Mistress 1” No: our resources are great and unrivalled ; for ourselves, we are willing that the existing faculty should ** win and wear” the honor and emolunent ; but if they turn a deaf ear and merely promise for the future, we will join the crusade against them, heart and hand, with any opposition, to retain to New-York the proud em- hence she now possesses Success has already crowned the efforts of the Facul:y, and they should improve it. Let them give to the profession what they have a right to claun at their hands, and they will receive its firm and undivided support. To meet these demands, they should forthwith an- nounce their determination (previous to any move from another quarter) to enlarge their present facul- ty; at least 10 embrace the two depariments to which we have alluded. In doing so, they will ex- tend their influence at home, and inspire confidence abroad. Through you, Mr. Bennett, much may be accomplished, and by lending your important infla- ence, you will not only contribute an additional mo- mentum to the institution which you have already fostered, but merit the gratitude of the profession and of yours, A Frienp ann Prrysiciay.

The Herald in Baltimore—Flour Dealers—Grcat Failure—The way to do Business. Dear Bennetr :— Being a constant reader of your valuable and ably conducted paper, my mind is frequeatly struck, with astonishment and surprise, to see the enor mous and widely extended correspondence that finds its way to public observation, through the mediam of the Herald, from Maine to Geor; and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Embracing this vast’ Republic, there is nothing that transpires, of any importance or interest, to its thousand of read. ers, but what we find the Herald foremast in devo- loping. ‘The Herald here, in our city, is emphatically the lp h Whenever news or information, upon the important and most interesting topics of the day, is desired, it is not uufrequenily that your agents here fall far short of the increased demand for your pa- per. You must feel flattered at the favorable conside- ration in which I have represented the character of your journal ; for | have thousands here to bear witness to the sober traths I have expressed ; at are liable for their aceeptances,their property being large and very valuable ; so our friends in town, for fame and fortune as bright, as I deem yours to Most of our flour dealers here have been thrown be & reimburse a number of houses here, in the flour trade, for their xceeptances, amounting, gregate, to some $80,008. ‘The most that any one firm accepted fur was $30,000—ranging downward to $5000, which is the smalles: liability of any house. These acceptances were made in good faith upon promises, but no guarantee, that flour to the full amount of the respective acceptors, should be although legally bonad, f-el secure that, in theend, the same time assuring you, that were my chances be, [ would notthank Uncle Sam to be my uncle. upon th eam-ends, in consequence of a lurge firm in Virginia, F. & §., flour dealers, failing to in the ag- placed in hand in time to meet the drafts ; but fail- ing to do this, their acceptors had either to ad- vance the money or let the drafts be protested. The result was the latter course. Consequently, some (out of seven or eight who stopped) are amongst the most prominent flour dealers in our city ; but we have many yet left that will stand the test of tighter times than we have at present. At is generally thought, however, that no loss will ensuein the end to the acceptors.

[Correspondence of the Herald.] Lancaster, Ohio, Jan. 1, 1842. The Town of Lancaster—The Lawyers Resident Therein— Character of the Popwlation—Mr. Ew- ing, Sc. $e. J.G. Bexnerr, Esq— Dear Sir 1— I left Columbus on Thursday last (Dec. 30) and reached this town in eatety, but I must confees J am not very greatly fascinated with it at present. I ascribe that, however, tothe annoyance of travel- ling through so much mud, and at so slow a rate as the stage coaches onthis route drag me along. 1 have no donbt the people of Lancasterwill be found, on acquaintance, quite equal to any in Ohio, and the few I haveseen as yet please me much—the la- dies especially are very fascinating. There are several able lawyers residing in this town, among whem are Mr. Ewing, late Secretary ofthe Treasury, who returns to the practice of law, with all the ardor of youth; Mr. Henry Stanley, whose practice is very extensive, and who would long since have been in Congress if the whigs had been strong enough to send him there; aud Mr. Hunter, “Hocking Hunter,” and “the honest ,law- yer,’ asl am told the people familiarly call him. Mr. Medill, the member of Congress who had to much to say about the New Jersey case, isa resi- dent of this place, and pretty well liked by both parties. : : Lancaster contains but a few more than 3,00 in- bahitanis, and yet there are but five or six larger towns in Ohio. Itderives its name from Lancast: r, Pennsylvania, and a large proportion of its pepula- tion is of German descent. The same may also be said of the county of Fairfield, in which itis situa- ted. They are very industrious, and well behaved, and get rich by their frugality. To please them, and to subserve their own interests, all the busi- ness men learn a smattering of High Datch. : There are several very good private residences in, this town, among which may be numbered that of Mr. Ewing. Tis gentleman was supposed to pos- sess considereble wealth, but he has now, | under- stand, returned to his profession with a determina- tion to attend to every case, great and small, which he can procure. Perhaps.a love of the dry details of the law, and its trivial techoioalities,may actuate him—a love acquired by long practice.

The Holy Days— More Failures and *‘ Absqatulation” —TheCurrency. - Business— Weather— Amusements — Politics—Office Seekers Small Fry and ‘Things? Janes Gorvon Besser, Esa. Dean Sin—I am again comfortably seated by my own fire for the purpose of a littie conversation with you, ond through yoo, (or at least the columns of your excellent paper,) your 50,000 readers in all paris of the civilized world. I shall not attempt a very brilliant description of our celebration of the holy days in Buffalo, bat con tent myself by giving afew of the particulars, and assuring you, that with one or two exceptions, every thing was done “decently and in order.” Oar Episcepal churches, under the clerical charge of Drs. Shelton and Hawks, were appropriately decorated on Christmas eve, and the ceremonies were indeed solemn and impressive. Dr. S. is a gentleman of fine feeling, deep research, reapectable talent, ur- bane deportment, and in every respect an honor to his high calling. Dr. H. is a mach younger man, but possessas talents of a high end lofty order, and few men ate more worthy of their stations. Tis sermons are eloquent prodactions, and he has the happy faculty of riveting the attention of his hear ers, and imp:essing upon their minds the oo and sublime beauties of the religion which he professes, In addition to the religious ceremonies which were observed here, on Christmas eve, several social balls and parties came off by way of variety. Ou New Year's day and eve, ail sorts of amusements were presented, and every body by their social and kindly greetings, appeared to enjoy the commencement of a ‘happy new year.” Would it could beso through the season, We are inthe enjoyment of all the ele- ments of zation, and love, peace, unity and har- should prevail in all eec'ions of our favored No discords should be permitted to exist mony, country joe narrow minded selfish principl-s should fin a place in our bosome ; ay 3 but it should be our constant study to do all the good in the world possible, and thus accomplish the great ends for whieh we were created. But we must give a passing notice to the year wT Price Pwo cents, which has just expired. The year ‘41, Cor the old year,) has been fraught with many curious and im- The political and financial world with astonishing and unprecedented changes. During the year we saw General Ifar- rison, in the enjoyment of health, surrounded by millionsjof friends, at the head of the proudest and happiest nation of the earth. But searce a month had passed away ere the spoiler came to hush that and palsy that lofty and nob!@frame. the scene, and_a grateful country will do justuce to his memory. Since the dissolution «f the lamented Harrison, the great party which placed him in power has been disbanded, and the democra- y of the country hasagain obtained the ascendancy. Indeed, an unexpected political revolution has taken place throughout the Union, and the great funda- mental principles of civil and religious liberty will continue to be dispensed for the benefit and future well-being of all classes of society. We have also seen, in the financial circles of the country, all sorts of knavery and rascality practiced, and where or when this magnificent system of fraud and villainy However, the time is coming, I apprehend, when these mighty oankers, who have done nothing for the benefit of ortant events. as met manly voice, Death closed wi'l be arrested, heaven only knows. community, will receive their just reward. Siace my jast communication, several failures have taken place here. One firm, who have been doing an extensive business in the dry goods line for seve- ral years, and who were thought to have been in good standing, to avoid paying their rent which be- came due on the first instavt, and numerous other debts, packed up their entire stock on hand, one night last week, and “‘absquatulated,” leaving their creditors to whistle for their money. But this is not the character of our merchants generally. We have men here whose circumstances are known—men who have ever managed their affairs upon fair and equitable principles, and who are entitled to the con- ficence and patrenege of the community. Our currency at the present time is in a most deplorable condition. (The only money that is considered safe here is the constitutional cur- rency, and bills of the Easton and Canada banks The tailure of our Buffalo Safety Furd Banks hes had a tendency to injure the credit of many of the country banke, and it is thought by many that a general explosion will take place, and that all the State Banks doing business under the Safety Fund principle will be compelled to wind up their affairs. . There is very little ‘business geing on here at, this time, and the prospects of a dreary and duil winter are every where visible around us. However, a few months will soon pass away—the lovely spring- time will again be with us, and all will be life and activity. Should our edious steamboat monopoly be broken up—and it is anticipated by many—the benefits which would result frem it to all classes of emigrants and business men, could hardly be esti- mated. At all events, I learn that as efficient opposition will be started in the spring, which will add much to the life and prosperity of our city, as well as to the interests of Lusiness men and the traveling public. The weather here on the 1st inst. was mild and selubrious. We have very little snow, and from the, irregularity of the mails, 1 presume the roads east of us are in a bad condition. Indications of an old-fashioned enow-storm are now visible, and six weeks of good sleighing in January would be ver acceptable to our farmers in the country, as well = to our fashionables who can afford to enjoy it in e city. .In the matter of amusements we are not very highly favored. In that business there is nothing going on except concerts, balls and parties. In the course of the winter, perhops, eome religious ex- citement may be commenced. In that case you may expect more frequent letters. In reterence to political affairs I have little to say. The President's plan for a‘*Fiscal Agent,” or ‘“Sub- Treasury,” £ have nodoubt, will be approved by a majority of the people ; but in my opinion, after all, he will barely be able to pave his way fora re-elec- tion. Probably he does not desire it. And although LT opposed his election, I am willing to give him cre- dit for the purity and honesty of fis motives since his elevation to the Presidency. . The host of otfice-seekers who infest our city have given up all hopes of * places of trust” under the ad- ministration of John Tyler, and many have found it necessary to take hold of some kind of business for alivelihood. _Mr. Hawks, your agent, is doing much for the circulation of the Herald in this city, but the irregu- larity of the mails for two or three weeks has been @ source of great inconvenience to him as well as frequent disappointments to your numerous readers.

It is really dull—dull enough here. There is tolerably good sleighing, and I assure you it was well improved while the holidays lasted. — The holidays, as usual on such occasions, passed off in our village with some life, gaiety, fun and merriment. The dancing assembly at the American, on Thurs- day evening, was well attended—not large, but to- lerably so—composed of the ¢lite or “bloods” of eur village, as they are called here ; and was the most magnificent and brillant affuir of the kind we have witnessed here in many a d Among the ladies present was Miss S., of Gene- see street, certainly the fairest of the fair, and a most exquisite dancer too—one of the best in the room.

Mr. Muffit leaves here some time the pre~ sent week for Washington. After the adjournment of Congress he returns to this city to preach in the Odeon. Miss Abigail Folsom is here, and has recently disturbed the meetings of Brother Knap. She wae borne from the house a few days since in the arms of two of the brethren, speaking all the while she arrived upon the sidewalk, where she addre ed a crowd of men and boys. _ [huve the pleasure of furnish'ng you the follow= ing account of Elder Knapp and one of hi which was politely furnished me by a young man of talent, and who is the son of an Orthodox clergy- man :— The Lord has been pouring out his spixit abum- dantly in this city for some time past, and more es- ecialiy during the past week, when we have been favored with the ministrations of Flder Knapp.— ‘The preaching of this godly man has been attended with signal -uccess ; Universalists and Infidels are found upon the anxious seats, and thousands are in- quiring the way to salvation. Perhaps a better idea can be formed of t! vine, bya shave sketch of one of his discourses, which we were vouchsafed with an opportunity of listening to. Om Wedueeday evening lust, (29th ult.) he preached at the church in Bstdwin Place, from these words— John ILI, 7. i not that I said unto thee, ye must be born agi He commenced with an ac~ count of the circumstances connected with which the words of the text are spoken—then proceeded to explain the nature of the new birth, and the in- fluences necessary to produce it. He said that Ged. created the world by physical force, but the rege- neration of the sinner was to be eftected by menta} force. Said he, “ suppose a p'anet should stop in its orb, and refuse to roll petty think youthat Ged would read the ten commandments to it? So yo see that God cannot force the sinner to repent, cause physical power would not do it, and man free agent, so that mental power won't doit. The new birth signifies the change of the uflections—the change of the heart. Now suppose’a crab apple tree, wh eh pe * ly fruit, totull We CO game ab oot HE go and cut off eah smooth, and > would be no 5 just assour and « sinner may bray! my the exterior lo Re litte pet change of heart, God won't give uw it ; he is merely a whited sepulchre, but full of dead men’s bones. [A ery of fire was heard, and several of the congregation in different parts of the house began to go out.] Keep calm and colleeted, Liber there is'nt any fire, or it may be atadistance Never go out of a protracted meet- ing till the bricks get hot in the house where you sit.” In illustrating the necessity of repentanee id humility, the reverend gentleman remarked :-— ‘Suppose a mob should collect in this city, and go round smashing in windows, tearing down houses, knocling down and dragging out, plundering from one Square of the city to another,and the city authe- rities should call out the militia and surround them, think you they would pardon the rioters, unless they surrendered and laid down theirarms ? No ! Weil now, the devil has got up a mob against God, and, sinners, he has got all of youto join him ; an if you don’t come like condemned felons, with ropes round your necks, to supplicate for mercy, you will all be damned !”” 'Rev. Dr. Sharp, the oldest Bap- tist divine of this city,and others, we believe, have shown their wisdom by taking no part, and claiming no fellowship with Elder Knapp; and he alluded to- them in this manner, ** Let Paul come down from the bliss and glory 0; heaven, where he would look over the battlements, and see the myriads who dwell ia the pit of pair, and hear their wails whieh ascend up forever and ever—suppose Paul sheuld come down and preach in this pulpit, we should, some of us, eatch hold of the skirts of his coat tail, and say, ‘ stop, stop, brother Paul—you have got too much excitement —you use too strong language—you go too far altogether " because we hav'nt so much of the spiritas he has. So let eve- ry one be cautious how they interfere with those who have more of the epirit than they have, lest they be found steadying the Ark of God !” He com- fessed that his proceedings appeared foolish to the unregenerate, und ¢xcused it on this ground—“Re- ligion is an experimental thing, and the things of the spirit are foolishness unto the carnal mind, be~ cause they are spiritually discerne!. No one can tell what religion is till he has got it, and you must be willing to become fools for Christ’s sake. For Dr Watts said, that an nnregenerate man is no wore judge of experimental religion than a bear or hedge~ hog isof politenrss.”” Speaking of Universalists, he said, “ They think that the pirate on the high seas ie sailing up to heaven, and that the drunkard is reeling and staggering along to glory. All want to goto heaven; but very few eversit down ca mly tothink what kind of a place hraven is. The somehow think they shall stumble into it; bat deat! strikes the blow and they are gone —— where % Now, suppose you were to be admitted into heaven, why, they wonld be barbarians to you, and you would bea barbarian tothem. I'ma thinking you would be rather lonesome there; you could’nt un- derstand the language of Canaan; you could’et sing the new song ; there js no eating, no drink buying, eo se ling, no theatre, no cotillion, no gas ming board. Why, sinner, if you should stay there a year, it would be the longest year you ever saw since God made you !” His discourse continued over an hour and a half, and owr limits forbid any thing but an impereet sketch. He introdueed veral anecdotes, dreams, &c, ta work upon the ferl- ings of the audience ; and at the close of the ser- mon, an enquiry meetiny was fully attended by the anxious sous. Satan’s kingdom is shaker to its foundation ; and we have no doubt bat Elder Jacob Knapp will be the means of doing great good in his day and generation. Amen.
