Tus Lancer.—The number of this eminently pop ular journal issued this morning, containe a grea, amount of valuable and interestiog matter, an exam. ination of which very clearly explaine the unprece- dented success with which the Lancet has met, not only among the mediea! practitioners, but the non- professional public. In the first place, we have an admirable lecture on the Physiology of the Nervous System, by Dr. Marshall Hall, of London, in which a variety of very extraordinary experiments are de tailed. An interesting lecture on Polypi of the Nose, by Dr. Mott, fullews An account of the “ Irish Prophet of the Seventeenth Century,” a precursor of the celebrated Me mer, is a very interesting paper, and preeents a singular example of pupular delusion. The brief and spirited reviews of .new medical works, and current medical literature, which consti- trte a peculiar feature of the Lancet, exhibit a faith- ful record ef the progress of medicine and the colla- teral sciences, and are particularly caleulated to in struct and amuse the general reader. Under the head of the “Medico Chirurgical Reporter,” a great variety of remarkable cases, with their treatment, and appropriate remarks by the editor, are given. From the novelty and interest of the cases detailed, and the clearness with which their treatment is described, this department of the journal is of the greatest value to every reader. The establishment of the Lancet has originated a very impertant revolution in the medical prefession in this city, the influence of which must of course gradually extend throughout the whole country. New life and energy have been infused into ovr schools and lecturers—public attention is more ard mere directed to every subject connected with the science which has for its object the preservation and restoration of health. Even the ladies, God blees them! read the Laneet most attentively. Faith in patent nostrums and quack medicines is gradually diminishing. The old race of orthodox practitioners, who gent their luckless patients to the grave secun- dum artem, are following their victims—a new brood of young, clear-headed Galens, are coming on the stage—and in a short time, what with their skill, and the spread of popular medical literature, the dif ficulty will be not how to maintain health, and attain a green old age, but ectually how to “‘shofile cif this mortal coil,” and get out of the world at all. Albany, [Correspondence of the Merald.) Avzavy, Mareh 24, 1812. Thomsonian Physicians— Regent of the University— Joint Ballot—State Prison Bill—Lax Bill—Gover- nor*s Veto, &¢. 1a the Assemscy to day,after the reception of an unusually large number of petitions and reports from Standing Committees, Mr. Loomts introduced a bill to abolish imprison- ment for non payment of costs, &c , which was or. dered to a tiird reading. Dr. Tartor from the Standing Committee on Medical Schools and Societies, reported to-day on the numerous petitions ia favor of allowing Thom- sonian php: ‘0 collect pay for their services ‘The report was unfavorable to the prayer of the pe- titioners and was agreed to by the Hioute. So these physicians will be obliged to go without re- lief for this yearat any rate, aud is what might have been expected from a committee of which so many regular M. D's. were members. The hour of twelve having arrived, the House, according to a previous order, proceeded to nomi- nate a Regent of the University, in place of Wash- ington Irving, resigned. Davin Bvex of Troy re- ceived 78 votes; Daxiet Lorn, jr.,28 votes; and Joun B. Cuvacn, 1. On motion of Mr D. it was resolved that Mr. David Buel, be, and he is hereby unanimously minated as regent of the University on the part of the Assembly. A message was then received from the Senate, announcing their readiness to meet the Assembly in joint ballot, Accordingly in they came, headed by their sergeant at-arms, Col. Niven; and a most im- posing appearance they made. The Lieutenant Go- vernor took the chair, and upon ¢ mparing nomi nations they were found to agree, and Mr. Buell’s election wascempleted. The Senate then retired. A number of two-third bills were then passed Upon the third reading of the bill relative to the village of n Mr. I 3 remarked that he perce’ in c ification of votere. As this by fought on the Chittenango Village b it would not be yielded now, and unle: stricken out he shou'd vote against. Alter some conversation it was the table. ‘The remainder of the session until the hour of re. cess was consumed in the reading and passing of bills. This has been anvther business day and the calendar is loweri2g rene ArTEeRsoon Session —The State Prison Bill was again under discussion. It will probably be reported to the House this afterneon and will no doubt, unless the friends of the projet I alluded to a few days since, are strong and influential enough to defeat it, becomea law. Be its tate whatit may, too much credit}cannot be awarded to Mr. Wrinas the mechanics’ representative fur the exertions he has made in its behalf In the Senate today the Tax Bill was agi postponed and the One Day Election again came un- der discu This is an pnpartaet, subject cer- tainly,and shou'd not be treated hastily,or acted on without full and mature discussion, but it cannot be denied that too much of the debates that have have been utterly idle and useless questions as to allewing inspre i inner and the like, hi been fertile fields of operation for the small 8, &c, and they have not failed to avail themse!ves of the chance.

Our Relations with England—Mr, Clay’s Speech, In the recent last speech and dying words made by Mr. Clay, in noticing things in general, he made allusion to our relations with England of so impor- tant a character, that we are surprised our corres. pondent did not allude tothem. Although we differ with Mr Clay about matters of taste, as im his quo- tation about the “black ram,” and other things, and sometimes differ with him in matters of principle, as in the distribution and land bills, yet we are always ready and disposed to give him full credit for his manly and correct notions in relation to our forcign afluirs or any new topic of interest. We haveseen nothing in a long time, that has pleased us so well as his receut remarks on this ques+ tion. His views were these :— That there is no dan- ger of arupture with Great Britain, if the dispuid points are managed with proper ability. All the points onthe Boundary Question can be settled by arbitra- tion. There was not an excuse, but much pallia- tion for the burning of the Caroline, and war cannot arise out of that. Great Britain ought to indemnify us forthe Creole, but there was no apprehension of war from that matter. The right of search was all that remained ; this the Uniled States would never yield; and he did not understand that England claimed it. All this iscorrect. These are the true views to take of the matter; aud we respect Mr. Clay for his good sense and manliness in putting the whole ffsir in a nut shell, and cracking the shell in a pro- pct light before the people and the country. In the course of his specch, he also deprecated the premature hostility shown to Lord Achburton. In relation to this person and the recent indictment found again-t him in England, the following we find are the facts:—Lord A-hburton has not been a mein- ber ofany mercantile firm for ten years But a son of his who was here in 1820, went on to Mexico, and speculated ip Jands with a Mr. Kinder; the latter was involved in mining speculations; and became indebted to the old firm of Barings & Co. This firm held a judgment bond against Mr. Kinder fora larze gum, and this seems to be the motive for pro- ceeding criminally in a case that belongs to a civil Tue University Mepicat Semoor —Re Oren- inc OF THe Ciinique —I! is amusing and pleasing to see the professors of the New School coming back to their old plan of a weekly Clinique and their senses at the same time, This is the effect of a free press; and we congratulate them on their return to sound p inciples and sound practice. They com- menced right; but by means of a qjque and the falsehoods of one or two of the Wall street papers they left the properpath. These papers raised the ery of quackery, and sowed the seeds of dissension between Dr. Mott and Dr. Pattison; this led to a difficulty among these eminent men, and the ul- timate giving up of the clinique, and the school has been going back ever since; they have now come back again to the right course, and we hope and believe the school will rise again.— cout.

And as a spe- cial minister, he cannot attend to any private rela- tions of his own, even if he has any to settle. There isno doubt that the party opposed to the administration and to the pezce of the country, for the advancement of party purposes, would desire the mission te be broken up without accomplishing any thing. But we hope that the President will be able to preserve peace without compromising in any the honor of the country ; and for this purpose, we ought to receive this public minister with the same courtesy and good feeling, that we would extend to the representative of a private body or a distin- guished literary character. Why not treat him as hospitably as we have done Lord Morpeth, or Charles Dickens? [From the Boston Times.) Eprtors Inpictep ror Lisets —We learn by a private letter from New York, dated yesterday af- ternoon, three o'clock, that the Grand Jury of New York city yesterday morning found true bills against the editors of the Commercial Advertiser, of the Express, and of the New York American, for al- leged bel in the publication, concerning the or- ganization of the Court for the trial of J. G. Ben- nett, Esq, editor of the Herald. This places the boot on the other leg pretty ef- fectually, and will give Mr. Bennett an opportunity to retaliate rather severely upon those presses who so clamorously called for justice ucen him when he was upon trial for an off: in our estimatieu, of a far lessaggravating ch Mr Bennett wasin dicted and tried vefore the Court of Oyer and Ter miner, for a humorous and harmless libel on the Court of Sessions, and was convicted and sentenced to a fine and costs of over $300—the editors above mentioned are indicted for making serious and spe cific charges of bribery and corruption against the clerk and twoof the jadges of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, for not having inflicted a severe pun- ishment upon Mr. Bennett. It Mr. Bennett’s pun- ishmeat was slight, theirs must be exceedingly heavy. Thus discourseth the ‘ Boston Times,” and very likely with correctness. There is one point, how- ever, in which we differ. We have no wish to “re. taliate severely’? on the Wall street press—we have no wish to invoke the vengeance of the law—we have no desire to ‘mitate the malevolence aad hate which they exhibited in our case, and by none more so than Charles King and Wm. L. Stone. The poisoned chalice has been returned to their own lips, yet if we could we would it might pass away. A great and mighty revolution is going on in society, andinthe newspaper press, that, in a few years, will place both us and the Wall street editors in our p oper positions. Misforiuse and destiny will teach generosity by due process of law, to these arrogant and impudent men. this school, and we shall be the last to abandon it wher it is conducted on right principles. We hope now they will goon, with the same harmony that they do in the Crosby street school, and throw open the doors of their Jecture rooms te the whole pro- fession, without any obstruction to the Editor of the “Lancet.” After this they have only one more thing to do; and that is to send the money down to pay the old biilthey owe us tor advertising. changing the mode of appointing Bank Commi ers and reducing their number was retifned Senate, with his exce rt .

New York axp Acaaxy Rattroap.—A meeting has been held at the Mayor’s office, with Stephen Allen in the chair, in relation to this matter; resolu- tions were pazsed to collect $1,000,000 in 10,000 shares, by the Ist of May. The following persons were also appointed Commissioners to investigate the situation of the said New York and Albany Railroad Company, in respect to its property and eveileble means. and asto its contracts, liabilities, and engagements of every description:—Abraham G. Thompson, Samuel S. Howland, James Boor- man, Robert C. Cornell, Stephen Allen, Lambert Suydam, Waldron B. Post, Peter A. Jay, Joseph Bouchaud, Jacob Harsen, Peter Cooper, and Peter Schermerhorn. We trust, therefore, that the work may be com- menced immediately. Let the grading begin; but first collect the money. City Intelligence, StRance axp Mysrextovs.— While some persons were engaged i1 exeavating the lot in the rear of No. 37 Liberty street, on Thursday afternoon they struck the lower part of an old sink, and found de- POstied * phull-and a mumbcr of human bones be- longing to a skeleton. Upon farther seareh an old fashioned English silver watch, made by ‘* Dodd of London, numbered 1430,” was also found. The premises, it is stated, were occupied for a number of years, previous to 1832, by an apothecary, and it is therefore presumed by some that the boaes may have been the remnants of a dissection case under his hands, and that the watch may have fallen into the sink by accident. We differ from this opinion entirely, as the watch, if dropped accidentally could have been easily recovered, and the Lones would have been more useful if preserved than thrown ia- toasink. We have reasons to think that a murder has been committed at some. distant date, and the body throwa into this eink to avoid detection, A Tew days will lead to the result of this belief. fuprocen Muaper.—The vicinity of Tracy's al- ley, near 111 Sheriff street, was the scene of great excitement yesterday from the rumor that a man named Kehoe had murdered his wife Margaret, by blows given her a few days previous. The coroner was sent for in great hwste, and an investigation was immediately entered into. The body et the deceas- ed women was thoroughly eximined by Dr. Wm. S. Tompkins, the neighbors were called into tesuly to all they knew, and the whele neighborhood was roused in anticipation of the horrid detai's resulting from such investigation. After a long and tedious inquiry by the coroner, the result was that the de ceased woman was of very intemperate habi's, her husband ditto, tbat they quarrelled ofien, and that he beat her on Saturday sight last in such @ man- ner a3 to compel her to cry murder, watch, &c — That the next morning she had a_pain in herside, and that she died the next day, The jury, afier a full and patient hearing of all these facie, together with the evidence of Dr. Tompkins, who found no external bruises evincing serious injury, returned @ verdict of “death frou inflammation of chest,” produced by continued habits of intemperance e:Youso Maw Maisstxa.—Oa the 17eh just.

Aopreheasicns that he has been i.urdered are entertained. Paooness or Temrekaxce.—The Temperance Apostles are making tremendous headway all over the country. One of their recent converts is sandy Welsh, who 1s destined to become one of their Jead- ing Apostles—and whose style of oratory is proba- bly the most original of the present day. The move- ments of the cause will hereafter be mainly under Apostle Delavan, and Apostle Welsh. They are to have a great procession of 30,000 men; «nd they are breaking up the groz shops aad distilleries in all di- rections, and ruining the corporation taxes growing outofthe same. Very well.

Dear I have been so shorta time in France, that I have ttle of interest to write you. 3 will give you my views of things generally, ns they have come under my ob.ervation since I landed at Havre, which you are aware is the first port for merchant vessels. Its quays are of the first order—the accommodations for shipping are most extensive and convenient, 1 was surprised to meet with sach a vast number of ships from every clime at this port. Havre is ra- pidly increasing its business and its population Some good specimens of the ancient Roman archi- tecture are here met with. The environs of the city are beauti‘ul, particu‘arly the coté, the city ex- tending in this direetion more than a mile without the walls—the ground rises high above, and com- mandsa fine view of the city and British Channel The winding way as you aseend the hill, the beau- ful gardens and terraced grounds, tastefully orna- mented with shrubbery, pleasure houses, and splen- did mansions, presents to the eye the most delight- ful scenery, and not ily described. From Ha- vre to Rouen the country is beautiful and in a high st.te of cultivation. There are few native forests, but many planted ones, some of them very exten- d beautiful, The scenery along the banks of the , although totally different from that of our noble Hudsen, 1s scarcely less coarming Rou- enii active business city, containing more than 110,000 souls. Heavy cotton and woollen manufac tures are the principal fabrics. The manufactories are fleuri , and the city fast improving. The hotels are excellent. Here are met with some of the most ancient Ro- man structures, bridges, churches, cathedrals, ho-§ pi als, military and other establishments of great inierest to the traveller. Here the mind reverts back to aucient Roman history, and here the eye delights to dwell on the beanty and grandeur of Ro- man archieciure. story of the times of Jo- an of Arc aud William the Couqueror mind most forcibly. Near Kou mantic spot, yeu are shown the relics of the castle of Robert, on which fiction has founded the works of Robert, the D-vil. From Rouen to Paris the roads are good and t! ountry dejightfal, and eve- ry rood cf ground under fine cnitivation. Sime excellent fraits, and pears in particular—the b-st I ever met with, All Normandy, to my eye, is love- ly The peasantry appear happy and robust. In some of the more extensive Seignories, there is much of the air of wealth in the imple- ments, of husbandry the Fiench are an age be- bind the time, and in their facilities for trans- portation, the lage, slow Norman horse and heavy wagons are substituted for our railroad and canal accommodations. But a Freuch aiiligence is a safe and good conveyance,and the government post coach a rapid one. Of Paris, what shall say? It ie a world in mi- tron of about 1,200, 000, made unknown, und much I hope to remain ignorant of, except from ihe description of ihe gove: ove every thing, know contrel all etually, From the ar- i daily use forfovd, the most common to th hignest lux brought feom withont the walls, taxed, and helps to fill the public treasury frem the waters of the Seine, puri- fied by government for table use, at no smai ex- pense, to the stamped paper you are forced to use with your banker, ail, 8 goveroment’s But with all this there is an order, a system and a secu- rity not to be met with in the United States. The police and fire departments are’ most efficient and admirably arranged. Very little loss of property occurs by fires. Paris is tuil of nations! monuments and public edifices. Itscathedrats, pantheons, madelines, pa. laces, gardens, husptals, and public institutions— obelisks, Roary aud sculpture galleries, would re- quire volumes to describe. If the people have mauch to complain of, they have much to acknow- ledge from ithe hands of th- government.

Notwithstending the general discredit which attaches to Banking generally, there are undoubtedly many in- stitutions in this city which are selling, in consequence of erroneous impressions, for much less than they are really worth, while other selling for more thar they are worth. The value of Bank stock depends in a great measure upon the character of ite officers. If an institution metts with losses from unforeseen cireum- stances the good management of straight-forward active and vigilant officers may soon enable it to recover ; on the other hand, if the officers are dissolute, negligent ,. and ineSicient men, the institution must go dewn. This is known to be the case with some Bank officerr, and the stocks sink rapidly in consequence. The Seventh ‘Ward Bank is oneot the former class. Its stock has late ly fallen to 65—seemiagly for no the Bank changed its location. It sinese paper of the best descrip:ion; snd at a recent in vestigation, after praniag away oll doubtful paper, ond throwing away some depreciated stocks, held as collate- rals, the stock was worth nearly 9) perceet. Rumors of the large indebtedness of certain directors, are entirely without foundation. ‘Wo mentioned yesterday that the Chatauque end the Lyons Banks were not bought by the brokers.

The bill in question proposes that the House or popular braach should have avoice inthe matter. His excellency does not express himself very elvarly, but his objection seems to be thee the people will have more to say in the matter under the new bill, and the executive less. The objection to that port which abolishes one coramissioner is that it would not diminish the public charse because the sala- riesare paid by the Banks. _ Thi not the case; the salaries are paid by the poor bill holders ultimately.— ‘Thatis to aay they are poi ont of the Bank fund, and to the same extent the meacs of me vling the bills are reduced.
