Coxrecrios.—In the Herald of Saturday, we pub- lished a report of the trial of the Delaware Bank vs. Andrews, which we have since been assured gave an account of the matier, which might prove unfa- vorable to the character of the principal witness, Mr. Joha B. Fiy.

Medical Intelligence--The Lancet, The great revolution which is to deliver us from quackery, and terminate the reign of medical hum- bug, advances with great rapidity and triumph. The cliniques at the college of Physicians and Sur- geons continue to attract immense crowds of stu- dents and practitioners, and the halls of this vene- rable institution present an appearance very differ- ent from that hitherto observed during the spring and summer season, when our medical colleges are nerally quite deserted. Dr. Swerr’s clinique for diseases of the heart and lungs was well attended on Saturday last; the eases were evidently selected with great judgment, and presented a rich treat to the Doctor’s pupils, who are making astonishing progress in the practical use of the stethescope. From the admirable system adopted by Dr. Swett, by which he combines the theory and practice of the important department of medical science, which he is so eminently qualified to illustrate and teach, his students can now easily put to the blush many of the old stagers who have been going on in the old beaten path, utterly igno- rant of all the discoveries and improvements of me- dern science. Dr. Burxerey’s cxcellent clinique for diseases of theekin, continues to excite great interest. It is really surprising to see the variety of cases which he presents to the notice of his class, and this shows the extent cf the resources for clinical instractions which the college possesses.! Dr. Panken’s clinique yesterday was as usual, re- markably well attended. From the arrangements made, all the novel and interesting cases presented at the various Dispensaries throughout the city, are sentto this school. The result, as may readily be imagined, is, that a crowd of patients is regularly in attendance, and no day passes without some inter- esting operations being performed. Dr. Parrison’ clinique at the Stuyvesant Institute was opened on Saturday, but the attendance, wae, we are very sorry to say, thia. There were, how- ever, six or geven spectators more than at the cli- nique of the week before. An old woman with sore eyes, and two scrofujousi nants, were the principal cases, which elicited from the learned Professer a number of very judicious practical remarks. It is greatly to be regretted that Dr. Pattison’s light 1s so much hid under a bushel. As a surgical operator, he has few equals,and in sound scientific attainments and reasoning powers he almost rivals Dr. Mott, who has so magnanimously retired from the field of active exertion in favor of his colleague, and thus given us another proof of his amiable and self-sacri- ficing generosity. Dr. Bedford continues, we must add, to shed lustre on this school, and is a very able coadjutor to Dr. Pattison. With two such men, no school of medicine should despair of the most brilliant' success. Arcades ambo! The name of Gunning 8. Bedford is ulready identi- fied with all that is original, honorable, and truly great in medical science. Hi; feilow-professors pro- perly esteem him as their dulce decus, and will pro- bably soon elect him tothe office of President of their Faculty, in the room of Dr. Mott. No medical col- lege in this, or perhaps any other country, can boast of such a combination of genuine talent, good sense and modesty athe Stuyvesant School. The Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons, is to be sure suc- ceeding better; and is, we may suppose we may venture to say, doing a little more at present for the advancement of science and sound education; but with Drs. Patuson and Bedford, the Stuyvesant School must yet prove a very formidable rival. All parties are, however, im the meantime fairly repre- sented in the Lancet, the establishment of which has originated this great medical revolution. Le: any oue inspect the contents cf the last number of this eminently popular journal, and his conviction must be that such an agent for the dissemination of sound practical scientific information, must soon effect a most import-nat refcrmation in medicine in this country. oan ra Parx Tueatre—Tne Orera.—Last evening the Opera troupe, co’ ‘ing of Mra Seguin, Mr. Seguin, and Manvers, as the principal singere, and several others asthe “leather and prunella,” opened their spring engagement at the Park, to a pretty fair house, both in numbers, taste and respectability. It would be unjust to jump to conclusions on a first night, but this company certainly made a fa- vorable impression cn the audience. The vocal and musical powers of the Seguins and Manvers are well known, and they al! seem to be in fine condi- tion, in good spirits, and ia an excellent state of training, as good as Boston. We never heard them go through their parts with more success or accu- racy. The other parts, choruss and ell, are also tolerably good—the orchestra most deficient. The opera is the one got up by Signor Fry of Philadel- phia, and in some parts changed from the original, und mutilated in such a way, that makes the angels weep a tear, and the devils laugh a“ eldrich laugh.” No matter for that—the troupe performed their se- veral parts with considerable success. The charac- teristic of this troupe is neatness of execution—not power or splendor. According to allthe appearances in the heavens, this engagement will be a succeseful oue for the troupe end the manager. We are glad of thia, partly on account of the manager, (than whom a more honorab!e and worthy man does not exist on the sunny side of the chare’s yard,) that there i rong symptom ef a little prosperity—a sunbeam in the midst of cloudsto the ancieat prestige of the Park. The fashionable portion of society, who have not taken the benetit of the act, have now an opportu- nity to hear a very capital opera, very well got up, combining much skill and neatness, wich care and attention in the details. The artists, male and fe- male, as they were created, are certainly in better Voice than we ever heard them on any former occa- sion. Let them, therefore, have as faira chance as the improving times, and increasirg bank discounts, will permit. * God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.” Tue Lares Vernier ~The Philadelphia Times says, that the verdict ia the case of Holmes was re- ceived with a barst of indignation there. Was it? Weil then, as an offset, a great many people here read it with delight. Why were the two women thrown overboard! Why was one denied hercloak to cover her nakedness, when she had nothing on but her chemise ? Why was such pains taken to preserve a particular family? Why was not the infamous negro throwa everboard, after his brutality to half naked fernales ? Why were the whole seven- teen of the crew saved, while forty-seven ovt of sixty-four passengers were drowned? And above all, why were not lots cast? Let any one read this and then give an opiaioa oa the verdict, “When they put over Mary, Ellen,the other sister, was crying ; they cate f Ellen, and when they had taken her up,‘ Ob he,* don put me over A; all L request is to give me my mantle ;’ some of t ors lifted up something and threw in after her, but it was not her mantle.’ Taik of mercy in such a case.

It is also a very valuable work ina literary point of view, for the selections made by Bryant for the Harpers was a very poor affair. ‘The biographical notices are written with too much favoritism, and the puffs for several professions troduced into them are in bad taste. The selections are in the main good; but why are John Quincy Adams, Edward Everett, Woodworth, Fay, Nack, Mrs. Osgood, Mrs. Seba Sinith, Wallace and Mrs. Child, lumped together ia the appendix, whilst a lot of nobodies have several pages assigned them. Again, Longfellow has four pages and Willis ten. Halleck has ouly four small piecee, aud C. F. Hoff man has fourteen pages. Lucretia and Margaret Davidson are lumped together at the end in a couple of pages. The compiler says that Lucretia died in Nov. 1828, and ae of Lucretia and Maria David- son. These and other errors should be corrected The work must, however, fiad a place in every li- brary.

Heinrick ; one is the New York Rondo, the others are the ‘Images of Musical Thought,” containing the ‘‘ March of the Muses, the“ Waltz of the Muses,” and the “ Return from School.” We advise every lady to buy them and play them. ' Music iw Parapetrnta.—The Philharmonic Concert, which took place here on Thuraday night, was splendidly attended. Signor De Begnis and Mr. Knoop, were the two stars of the evening-— Their appearance was hailed with tumultuous ap~ plause. De Begnis was never in better voice; he gave two of his favorite aira, one with piano forte accompaniment, the other with full orchestra; both were given in his usual masterly manner, and com- manded an unanimous encore. Knoop wasalso en- cored, but he did not re-appear. A young lady amateur, Miss Barry, sang several pieces: she pos- sesses a good voice, and hasall the materials of a good singer if perfected in the hands of a good mas- tere Mr. Halma gavea violin solo in his usual mas- terly manner, but the composition itself was not very effective. The orchestra was numerous, com- posed of pre essors and amateurs, leader Mr. Meig- nan, and conductor, Mr. Cross. The Concert gave entire satiafaction; indeed it could not be otherwise when the Directors had secured the assistance of artists of such calibre as Knoop, Halma, and De Begnis.

We presumy she will come north this eummer. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam are playing at the American Theatre, New Orleans. He has written a uew piece called the * Belle of the Hotel,” for her. The Nashville Theatre will be opened this sum- mer by a part of the St. Charles company. The Cincianati, Louisville and Pittsburgh theatres are managed by Dinnelord, who is making money fast. He keeps his company on the rua the whole time. Mrs. Hunt is with him, so is Jamieson. Burton had a benefit last night in Philadelphia ; he has also applied for a benetit in another way— the Bankrupt Act. At Mobile, Barton, Mra. Richardson, and W: Chapman, are playing. At Portsmouth, Virginia, the theatre has been turned into a church. A. Adamsand Booth have been playing with great succezs at the Front street, Baltimore, ia Othello and lago.

City Intelngence, WBA Fuartive rrom Justice Cavant.—A few weeks since a yeung German, named Joseph Stiennam, entered the premises of Messrs. Cauffman & Wolf, of Philadel- phie, and, by false representations, obtained goods on credit to the value of $1890, The next day he ordered the goods to be sold at auctiun afd pocke’ing the funds escaped to this city. Notice was given and oflicers Sweet and Teppen immediately made search for the rogue. Yesterday afternoon the gentleman was seen cautiously steering his course on byard of the thip Ville de Lyon, that was to sail for Havre this morning, and adwooner was he fairly in sight thau Sweet tapped ,him onthe shoulder with “Well, my friend, we want to see you minute.” He was escoried to the Police office andian belt around his body was found 200 sovereigns, 23 eagles, 90 halfeagles, 19 twenty franc pieces anda small amount in silver, making altogether $1715 32. A requisition having been ordered in Pennsylvania, he will be for- warded to that Sate. The officers have thus done a good day's work both for themselves and the ends of justice. Nor Cavevus Straicut —The democratic caucus on Saturday night did not decide to app sint Garret Gilbert, police jastice in place of Robert Taylor, Eeq, whose term expires on the 21 of May. There are a numberof epplicants, all of whom feel certain of suecess. Tue Last Forceay.—Oilicer Cockefair with hisusual perseverance and industry, succeeded yesterday in find- ing, at the lodgings of Richard S. Howell, the forger, who was arrested on Saturday, the identical letter writ- tenby the fim of Thomas Hunt & Co. in reply to the communication received by them und +r the signature of Wm. H. Newton. It had been torn into fragments ; the name of the firm cut off in order to aid him in imitating it, 80 asto effect the forgery ofthe check. This is an im. portant link in the chain of evilence against the prison er, and officer Cockefair is entitled to much credit for thus closing up this business. Tue Ratt Roav Acctognt.—The young man whore legs wore cut off by the wheels of the railroad cars on the Harlem road was named John Elward Schultz. He died during Sundey night, from the loss of blood, pre- vious to which his right leg was amputated. This serves as an additional caution to the dangerous practice of jumping from a railroad car while under way, and also never to get off or on except at the footstep of the last oar in the train.

GEORGE SAUNDERS, OF 163 BROAD- nt us @ most acceptable present in the shepe it Metallic Tablet and Razor Strop. 3 istine without the fear of High Con- able Hays or our own dmezing wrath before bis eyes, the audacious audacity to carry off our Teblet time since, and finding it worth its weigdt in gold, has been guilty of the turpitude of keeping it. Where d he expect to goto? Hed it been one of the numerous imitations cf the Tublet of our worthy old friend, it would doubtless have been returned, with the remark that it had ruined his rezors, and wes en out and out humbug. Mr. Saunders anouaily carriesoff the medal, premiu: nd diplomas of the Institute with his Tablet— indeed ae equ at basever been manofactured. Among the scientific ke he os toits unequalled excellence, are Dr. Mott, 1 Tallmedge, Professor Griscom, and ot! One of our contempora- OG, Mr. ries, of “ The Tribune,” we belie peaks of it in the following terms :— Saunders Patent Metallic Tablet and Razor Strop —It the old molto * Experientia dpcet” can, be satisfactorily tia proved in any matter, it inly can in the use of an ia- strument like this. We have had one in use for more than a year, and therefore speak with full knowledge, when we assert thatthis is by all odds the best razor strop weever used—and we havejhad fifty; what an edge it gives! How smooth aud how fine! The razor, efter being drawn across the surface a few times, glides over thefece like water, and r:nders it as delicately soft as that of a missin herteens. ‘This strep may be also recommended for its durability. It remains in excellent order, if properly taken care of for yeurs, and it can have all its virtues renewed when they aregone. To the properties of a strop, it adds those of & hone, and one need not risk the spoiling of a good rezor by Committing it to the hands of a berber. Com- mend uk, we ray—commend us to Saunders’ Strop and no other; ifthere be another, in or out of this republic, equal to it, it has mot fallen within the reach of our not limited observation. Good News for Tenants, THE NEW EXEMPLION LAW —The act of our State Legislature extending the exemption of house- bold furniture and working tools from seizure for reat and sale by execution, as finally passed, adds $150 to the amount of the existing exemption.

But we have reason to be thankful for a still greater blessing which all who ha: oceasion canenjoy. Dr. Flemming's Medicated Candies e without exception the very best medicines we know of.

There is something very anomalous in the romors in regard to this loan, which require them fo be received with the utm >t caution There is a good deal of interest excited in regard to the position of a certaia broker who friled recentiy with a large amount of private deposites ja his posession. The representations of a termer pir'ner had indacea many wealthy persons to contiaue their accounts with thehous», an} as the events dil not wariat those state- ments, great complaints are now made. We called upon the com, lier recently to take soma act'on in regard to the s of the broken red dog hanks, the bills of which are much depreciated, in order to protect the public from loss. As we then statad, there are parties conoected with # of the banks who have exerted an influence to caus: the closing of the concerns to be postponed, in order that the bills may be depreciate, and then bongbt up. Since we made that statement the bills have riven 20 por ct. by the parchase of the parties, It is an undoubted fret, that rather have the assets, sectificed, ‘sme of the proprietors of the brokea banks would rece (he bills at par; but o@
