The business of the afternoon session was commenced by the reading of a communication of Dr. Griseom, of the New York Hos- pital, inviting the members of the coavention to visit that mstitution this morning, at 10 o'clock. The Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements then being called upon to report, stated that seventy additional delegates to the convention had arrived this day, whose credentials had been examined and found to be correet. The following gentiemen were then, upon motion of the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, eleejed members of the convention by ixvitation :—Dr. Robert R. Hadley, of Beyroov, Syria ; Dr. James @. Cooper, of Wash- ington Territory, U. 5., and Dr. H. Williams, from South- ern Iilivois. Dr. Cuartes A. Lee then offered the following resolu- tions — Keeolved, That it be adopted as the sense of this conven- tion, that those colleges waich give two courses of lectures an- ntally, thereby makingtwo ‘colleges out_ef one, are unworthy | of the commendation of this convention.

Aresolution was then carried, tendesing the thanks of this convention to Doctor Winslow, uf Boston, for the dis tinguished services he has rendered to the medic: fes:ton.

He hoped that no fuch action would be taken as that proposed by the resolution. Dector W. Hooker said, in regard to this resolution, he believed that the University of Michigan had a high vocation in promoting the learnivg of medical science in this coustry; but he thougot they would succeed better withomt the assistance of the Association. It would be to their credit and advantage to keep them- selves from competion with the medical taculty through- out the land. If they are capable to perform this high vocation of themselves, then they need no advertixement from the Asscciation. The resolution was withdrawn. * The Prrsment said he had been informed that there was & man present, upon whom the difficult surgical operation of :emoving the lower jaw had been performed by Dr. Carnochan, It was decided, however, that he should not be presented at that time, as the attention of the kmeeting was devoted to other’ matters. Doctor MaURAN presented the following report, in re lation to the necessity of each emigrant ship being pro- vided with a surgeon:— The undersigned, chairman of a committee appointed a the Ami in Medical Association, to memorialize Congress upon the importance of enacting, as an act of duty and humanity, a lay making it obligatory upon all ted by Dr. Hooxer, wing resolution vessels conveying emigrants to have a regular surgeon on board, respectfully reports: That a memorial signed by all the members of the committee, the President and Se. taries of the Association, was, through the medium of the Hon. A. P, Butler, Senator frem South Carolina, presented in May, 1652, and’ was referred to the Committee on Com- merce. It is with much regret that the undersigned has to report that the Committee on Commeree, having, it is presumed, other subjects of a much graver import in a pecuniary point of view, but surely not in a humane and philanthropic one, made no report. It was not contem- lated that any action would have been taken on the sub- ject, at the late period of the session of 1852; but sanguine hopes were entertained that some report would have been made in the session of 1863. The undersigned, in com- peetful considera. tion for their legislators and public functionaries, but must honestly confess that the legislation giowing out of outward pressure, for ulterior purposes of individual or political aggrandizement. renders it difficult to have such prompt anc efficient action as should be reasonably ex- perted npon questions involving saerifice, alvancement or objects 0!

The undersigned, however, is fully impressed that no intentional disrespect was mean! by the Committee of Commerce in allo ata; the memorial to remain in their archives wonoticed: and now that the presidential election, and other collateral ubjects incidental or having a bearing thereto, are sot tied, it ip but reasonable to suppose that the Senate and House of Representatives would consider any measure segards eclees or medica) arsociation ; and likew se, if possiole in im, adopt the same.

The best way, in his opinion, was to withdraw the diploma after it had been given, and in the event of its being used for the ad- vancement of qi ‘y. In conclusion, he moved the following resolution as an amendment: Resolved, That a committee he appointed to memorial the several State governments, in relarence to the subject of diplomas to medical men, and ‘to petition them, in the nam of the Association, for the past i of a law granting to char- fored medical colleges the privilege of Erecting in the judg- the diplomas of any of their graduat ment of the medical faculty of the college or school grantin, fave forteited e right sigh diplemes or certificates, they may othe ame.

UNION COURSE, L. 1-—TROTTING: The trotting match advertised to come off on Tuesday, May 3, between Flora Temple and Dutchman—mile heats, best three in five, in harness, for $1,000—did not take place on account of a death in the family of the ovner of Dutchman, in consequence of which he paid forfeit to the owner of the mare. There was a very large attend_ ance at the course, a number coming from Philadelphia, Boston, Providence, &c., &e., who were sadly disap: pointed when made aware of the forfeit. ‘The proprie- tors of the track, however, got up something to amuse tkem and make amends for the failure of the match, Two other trots took place, The first was for a purse and stake of $250, mile heats, best taree in five, in harness, with four entries ; and the other a purse of $50, mile heats, bess three {a five, in harness, in which Beppo and Trouble were the contestants. Lady Vernon and Lady Relief started for the stake and purse, and made a very pleasing race, although rather one-sided; the other two—Jobber end Dan Marble—did not come to the score. In the contest with Beppo and Trouble two heats only were trotted, Trouble knocking under after the second heat, and giving the purse to Beppo, there being no chance for him to win. It is unnecessary to detail the heats from polat to peint, as they were all pretty much alike.
