Mr. Sherman statod the amount reached several millions. A discus? sion ensued, during which Mr. Mcculloch was charged with illegally disposing of several hun? dred thousands. The bill was postponed. Tho adjournment resolution of the House, from the 20th inst, to the 3th pros., came up, but Mr. Sumner objecting, it lies over.

RICH MOND, Decemtier IL-The Conservative Con? vention adjourned this afternoon till night, and at night, the committee not being ready to report, they adjourned till to-morrow. Three thousand persons were in the theatre to-night. Among thc delegates to the Convention ari seventy-threo members of the last legislature. Senator Wilson and Senator Pomeroy arrived to? day, and were present to-night at a caucus of tho Republican members of the Reconstruction Con? vention at the Capitol. Senator Wilson, it is stated, advised moderation and foibearance in legislation, and in the matter of disfranchisement, not to go beyond the Reconstruction acts. The temper of the Conservative Convention seems to be fairly reflected in the speech of the President: entire willingness to accept the result of the war as final; but earnest opposition to the State being under tho control of the colored race. A locomotive, belonging to a passenger train hence for Petersburg, exploded at the Half-way House this afternoon, killing Richard Norris, en? gineer, and a fireman. Affaire In Virginia. RICHMOND, VA., December ll-The Conserva? tive Convention assembled at tho Theatre this morning. Eight hundred delegates appeared, re? presenting all parts of ino State. Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, of Augusta county, was elected President. lu his address be said that this was not a Conven? tion of a party, but of Virginians. At the close ol the war we were assured that, upon the repeal o the Ordinance of Secession, the repudiation of thi Confederate debts, and the emancipation of tin slaves, we would be restored to our rights in th? Onion. Instead of these promises being fiiirilted the policy bad been inaugurated to placo tin Southern Statee under control of the inferior race We meet to appeal to the North not to permit tb infliction of this disgrace upon us-our rights ma; be wrested from us, but we will never agree to th rule of an alien and inferior race. We prefer thi rule of the bayonet. Among tho vice-Presidents were R. M. T. Hun .ter, Thomas L'ocock, ex-Governor Letcher, ant others. The Radicals in "Wilmington, IS*. C. WLLMINOTON, December IL-There is a move ment on foot among the Republicans here, to havi the present city officers removed, and military ap pointments made. It is said that the petition hai been sent forward, bat this movement is of i secret ch tracter. Afluir? in Alabama. MONTGOMERY, December ll.-Governor Patter? son perfected financial arrangements in New York for paying the interest ou tho foreign debt of Alo bania due January 1,18G8, and has also secured an extension ol' time for the paymetit of tho tem? porary loan heretofore negotiated in New York, until the same can probably bo paid from collec? tion of taxes, which avoids tho necessity for the sale of State bonds under the present depressed condition of Southern securities. Messrs. Henry C. Sotnplo, of Montgomery, Jo? seph H. Speed, ol Perry, ami eleven other Conser? vativo Republican members of the Reconstruction Convention, have published a protest against tho constitution, which ably vindicates their position. They assume that the actiou of thc Convention is in opposition to tho sentiment of the Northern peoples, as expressed in the recent elections, and that tho constitution adopted violates tho condi? tions of the formation of the Republican party in Alabama, by transcending the requirements of the Reconstruction acts and adding features of pro? scription and disfranchisement uot authorized by tho measures. They believe the Northern people will not permit the power of their government to bo directed to the abasement and degradation of the white population of tho South, or that they will sentouco thc white race of the-South to be the ser? vants of their former slaves, oven aa a punishment for rebellion. They argue that the civil liberty of the Northern people will be endangered by the con? tinued exercise of a pro-consular rule maintained by force over an impoverished and ruined people. The South admits the thoroughness of their con? quest, but trusts to thc magnanimity of the con? queror, and appeals now to the tribunal of a last resort-the "people. The political power of the blacks is coveted, under tho proposed system of suffrage, by political adventurers, who have no in? terest in common with tho Southern people, as a weapon of offence, to be wielded for the accom? plishment of their selfish schemes of personal aggrandizement. This race will readily surreudor itself to tho arts and intrigues of designing per? sons, who flatter their vanity and encourago them in a jealous bate of tho white inhabitants of the State. The colored delegates in the Convention moved as subserviently at the beck of their Radi? cal managers as ever slaves did at tho command of their masters. Tho amendment to the Bill of Rights, introduced by Keffer, that common car? riers should make no distinction between citizens of tho State, designed to secure to the colored people seats at table and berths with whites on steamboats, at hotels, and on cars, aroused con? siderable opposition, and. threatening to produce serious discord in thc Convention, was withdrawn by its authors and advocates; but thc colored delegates, the present members, we are informed, obliged tho Radical majority lo premise them that the legislature should and would carry it into effect. The address alludes to the fact that the Convention refused to pr?vido separate schools for the whites and blacks, and simply provided in tho constitution for tho establishment of one or moro schools in each school district, by which, if only one school should be established in a district, children of both races must attend thc same school. One ol tho standing committees unanimously re? ported an article of tho constitution prohibiting intermarriage of white and blacks, which was de? feated in deference to the sensibilities of the color? ed members, many members of tho committee that made tho report receding from their position and voting to lay the report on the table. The signers of the address further declare that, entertaining the views they do, they owe it as a duty to tho people to warn them against lending themselves to the ratification of the constitution. They know not what fate may be iu store for the poople, but it can scarcely be worse than that which they will bring on themselves by aiding in carrying the constitution into effect. Affairs In North Carolina. RALEIGH (N. C.). December ll.-Tho United Stn tes Circuit Court continues in session and much business is being done. ' The suiTahrought against the stockholders of bank?, by the holders of notes are not yet determined. Judgments to the amount of hall a million are said to have been obtained against defendants during the session of the Court. Judge Barnes opened special Supremo Court to? day. It is understood that General Canby has been appealed to to appoint a new municipal board for this city, nominated by a negTO Radical meet? ing. Three nogroes are nomiuated for commis? sioners. The ticket is scouted by liincteen-twen tieths of the propcrty-hohlers of tho city. The citizens prefer a continuance of tho present board. m Republican Defeat in Pennsylvania.

The New York Herald thinks that the popular reaction at the North puts the Radical party under the necessity of hurrying np their work of South? ern reconstruction on tho basia of negro suffrage and white disfranchisements, in order that the ten outside States may be restored in season to turn the seale of the coming Presidential election. The Herald say*: Wo expect to seo this purpose carried out, and when carried out wo expect a Northern reaction hardly less decisive than that which foreshadowed tho speedy annihilation of the Democratic white oligarchy of thc South in the first election of Abraham Lincoln to the White lions/?. There is something so repulsive to tho Amorcan mind, so antagonistic to the genius, tho spirit and the manifest destiny of our political and social system, ic tins thing of a Southern negro balance 1 ot power, especially as it is established on white disfranchisements, that it cannot last. It is a compound of Asiatic despotism andAfrieau barba? rism so monstrous that its first submission to the general verdict ut the country will result iu a j mo? ment decreeing the authority and the instruments for its overthrow. The World thus indicates tho Democratic doc? trine : The fuudamental doctrine ol the Democratic party in relation to the suffrago is, that its r?gu? lation belongs solely to the States, and that it is an impudent outrage upon their rights for other States to assume to intermeddle. The World alludes to the fact that tho negroes in New York vote on a property qualification or two hundred and fifty dollars, and says : If tho people of any other State choose to adopt this policy of negro auftrage with a property quali? fication, it would be HS absurd lor us to object as it is tor the people of tue North to insist on univer? sal negro suffrage in the South while rejecting it themselves. The same paper refers to an arrangement it sug? gested just after thc election, to be effected by a conference of Southern Republicans and Northern Democrats, which was in substance that the South might concede qualified negro suffrage, in ex? change for ?inmediato restorat on to all its rights. The World says it is now satisfied that the temper of the Republican party is such as to render such an arrangement impossible. Says the World : As the Republicans scorn the suggestion there is no reason why anybody else should consider it. They refuse to capitulate on conditions. Nothing remains but lo storm their works and exercise all tho lights of conquerors. It admonishes the Republicans "that thoir ne? gro suffrage reconstruction will not be permitted to stand." It is very evident that negro suffrage is now the leading national issue, and that thc Conservatives of the North will all bo arrayed against it, especi? ally as embodied in the Reconstruction act. It is admitted that Congress may insist upon carrying out its present policy so as to get the support of the Southern negroes in the approaching Presiden? tial election, but the Conservativo programme is to repeal i* as soon as a Conservative Congress shall be chosen. It will be "annihilated." says tho Herald. "It will not be permitted to stand," says the World. Thing* in Washington. THE PURCHASE OF ALASKA-(lOV. WORTH AND FER? NANDO WOOD -HOW TO OUST A COPPERHEAD MEMBER-NOMINATIONS. Tho Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch telegraphs on Monday night: In the House to-day was discussed the very im? portant question how' far a treaty with a foreign power is operative when it has received tho ap? proval of a foreign government and our Executive and Senato and awaits the action of tho Houso of Representatives in the matter of appropriation of funds to pay purchase money. Donate was pro? voked by a proposition to rcler to thc committee the President's mcssago so far as it re? lates to tho treaty for tho purchase of Wal russia. Without * an appropriation to pay the amount agreed upon, thu treaty cannot be exe? cuted; and it appears to be the almost unani? mous opinion of the members of tho House that, inasmuch as all bills for raising revenue shall originnte in the House, it is within the province of that branch to considor and decide upon tho merits of a treaty in order to decide if appropria? tion shall be made; which virtually gives tho Houso supervisory control over both the Execu? tive and Senate in the ratification of troaties. Not? withstanding tho tenacity evinced in maintaining this ground, it would appear, from private con? versations with members of tho House, that a large majority of its members are in favor of ap? propriating the funds necessary to consummate our treaty with Russia. Governor Worth, of North Carolina, arrived here to-day, and had an interview with the President. Fernando Wood, having got through tho strifo for the mayoralty of New York, has arrived, and was in his seat in the House to-day. Further testimony is to be taken before the Committee on Elections can decide who is entitled to the soat representing thc Ninth District of Kentucky, but it is expected a report will bc made ina few flays upon thc statusof Mr. Young (Demo? crat), charged with disloyalty by Mr. McKeo (contestant). Thc throe points claimed to have been made against him in proofs before tho sub-committee aro that Young furnish? ed a gun to a man to join tho Confcdcrato army; that he provided rebels with provisions; and that he caused Confederate soldiers to cap? turo a Union soldier then socreted in Young's house -tho proof on this being that Young said to rebel soldiers, "There is a Yankee soldier in that house, now go for him;" and the Federal soldier was accordingly captured. Should Young be re? jected, then will como up the question whether McKeo is legally elected or not. Un this point other testimony will hereafter bo taken. Hie President sent to tho Senate to-day botween two and three hundred nominations of regular anny officers; most of them to bc lieutenants; many of them to fill vacancies. - - m - mt SI.

TION. lOorn-s-ponch-nci' of thc New York Evening Post.] SANTO DOMINUO Cm', November 9.-Wc are just beginning to recover from tho shock of the late hurricane and to look about us. 'ihe city shows more ravages thaij ritter tho famous siege of twelve months during Baez's former administration. In the last days of thc recent Spanish occupation it received some pretty hard knocks from the liber? ating army outside its walls, but all this was child's play compared with the wholesale devastation of tho" late hurricane. It was not so much a hurricane proper as a furi? ous drenching storm of rain. It began at about 8 o'clock A. M., and blew in fits and roaring gusts till past midnight. The groat damago to tho ship? ping und larger buildings in the citv was done at the beginning of tho blow. Rut all during that terrible day the wind and rain seemed to combine to continuo steadily the work of destruction. Tho first crash of tho gale unroofed whole streets of thatch-covered houses, and shook and lonseued tiles on fiat-roofed Moorish palaces, built by tho younger followers of Columbus more than three hundred and fifty years ago. Old trocs that bad withstood tho gales of centuries fell as if the axo was at their root. The rain carno down in such masses that it seemed as if a mountain torrent waB running through tho air, bearing OD its surface leaves and branches of trees, fragments of timber, hats, handkerchiefs, and a miscellaneous lot of dry goods (drv no longer), and eveu fruit. Cocoauuts wcro whirled through the city hko cannon balls, and added to tho fright of sonic who thought tho horrors of another siege was to begin. The poorer classes who were drowned out of their houses, snatched hastily what little poor val? uables they happened to possess, and waded through the flowing streets to tho churches. Their messed doors stood open as usual, and never did moro stricken wanderers pass their portals. Thc grand old cathedral on the government square, begun, as an inscription over its main en france informs us, in 1514, and completed in 1540, was crammed with a weeping, terror-stricken multi? tude. There was not a living thing to bc seen in the streets except when, at Tong intervals, some desperate adventurer, at the risk of his life, would pick or crawl his way along under the lea of the walls left standing, from ono to the other of the old churches, in search of some missing relative or friend. What added to thc dreadful gloom was the pon? derous thump of the breakers all along the lino o? tho sea-wall of the city, which at times sccmod to shake tho vory foundations of thc churches, and caused a cry of "earthquake" in tho crowd. Thauk Heaven this appalling crown of disaster, which has been withheld for thooo many conturios from this venerable and historic city-once the metropolis ol the western world-was spared lo us. In thc midst of the universal desolation which prevails there is a sentiment ot gratitude in thc breasts ol these poor, destitute Dominicans., that matters arc no worse. Their churches were comparatively un? injured, and this these simple-minded devotees regprd as a special token of remembrance ol Heaven. In this connection let mc cite the somewhat re? markable fact that when the City of Santiago dc los Cabclleros on the North side of the island wat destroyed by an earthquake in 1843. the great church of tl?e city was tho only building left stand? ing, and the sorrowful but not disheartened dc sceudautsof the gallunt bidalgoes who followed n tho wake of Columbus, aud founded fha: faired} in what was then a ?avago though beautiful laud accepted tho fact as a sign that tho Almighty would not drivo them from their beloved sito, ant set resolutely to work to rebuild it in moro than its original beauty aud strength. And afterwards, in 18G4, when Spain, mado brutal by a revolt whicl she despised, but could not suppress, in a fit 0 impotent rago bumed tho whole city to its founda? tions: again, as by a miraculous interposition o Heaven, the old churl- stood unharmed amid tin flumes; and, again, with grateful and trustful heart) its homeless children, with no]aid but their owl strong arms and resoluto purpose and unshakei faith, have erected a new and prosperous city. ] rode through its streets last May, and was aston ?shed at the evidence of thrift, comfort, and evei luxury which its thronged und busy streets pre sented. Before this late visitation Santo Domingo Cit; was famous chiefly for its magnificent ruins, am one revisiting tho city to-day would not, at a firs glance, be impressed with any Midden ubangi wrought in the fortunes ol its inhabitants. All tin prominent, editic. s remain standing. But tin desolation is hi tho cabins ol' Mn- poor. Thousand are houseless. Tho roofs ol their dwellings bcinj blown off in the first heavy gust, the ram after wards deluged and spoiled everything m thc shapi of furniture, wearing apparel, bedding, etc., 8' that large numbers have saved nothing but th clothes they stood in. Some Of these poor peopl owned a "burrow" or donkey their only treasure with winch they did a kind of slow -express busi ness about town; others kept a few hens or a fe\ goats, or a cow. A great part Ol Ihese domesti animals were killed during the gale.' The roads to tho interior ure in sad condition being choked with fallen trees. It ia reported tba many natives, with their animals, were drownei in attempting to cross the suddenly swollen river to their h'-nic-s. The Niqua river rose to an unes ampled height, and swept off a large quantity o copper ore belonging to tho Santo Domingo Cop ocr Company of New York. The camels employe by this company in transporting ore to the sea coast. I understand, were not injured, as they la .'lat, with their long necks extended on the grouni before thuin, according to their custom iii th desert. Great expectations arc entertained bur from tho operations of this copper company, air it is gratifying to know that their operations wi] uot bo materially impeded by tho late disaster. Don Pedro Valverde, envoy to Havti, bad a re markablc and narrow escape. Ho was a passenge ou the brig Alta Gracia, which arrived off the har i bor ol' San'..) Domingo on thc night before tho galo. In hi'-zeal to report the result of his niis sion to President Cabrai, General Valverde landed at once with his secretary and two seamen. Thc next dav, before other communication could be had with the shore tue Alta Gracia was driven on thc rocks and all on board perished. General Val? verde!! zeal bad saved his life. Tho colored Americans form quite a respectable item in tho working-class here. Last Sunday they assembled as usual in their Bethel chapel, and re? turned thanks to God thnt none of their lives were taken. There will be great suffering among the lowor classes for some timo to come, lor, unliko tho other West India islands, we have no mother country to look to for relief. The government has appropri? ated $20,000 for the suffereis, but this is but a drop, and government and peoplo are now poor alike. _ An Arab's Idea of Women. The interest concerning the regions ol' the Upper Nile created by tho Abyssinian expedition has in? duced the publication of a now book in London, by Sir Samuel Baker, whose title is, "The Nile Tribu? taries and tho Sword Hunters of the Hamran Ar abs. It is said by the English reviewers to bo as interesting as thc author's previous work. At thc village of Wat el Nogur Sir Samuel had some curious talk with one of tho Arab Sheiks on the subject of marriage. We quote : Thc sheik laid down thc law with great force, "that a woman was of no use when she ceasod to be young, unless she .vas a good strong person who could grind coru and carry water from the river ;" in this assertion he was seconded, and sup? ported unanimously, by tho crowd of Arabs present. Now it was always a common practico among tho Arab women, when they called upon my wife, to request her to show her hands; they'would then feel the soft palms, and exclaim in astonish? ment, "Ahl she has never ground corn 1" that being tho duty of a wife, unless she is rich enough to possess slaves. Sheik AchmoL requested me to give him some account of our domestic arrange? ments in England. I did this aa briefly as possi? ble; explaining how ladies receive our devoted at? tentions, extolling their beauty and virtue, and, in fact, giving him an idea that England was Para? dise, and that the ladies were angels. I described the variety of colors; that instead of all being dark, some were exceedingly fair; that others had red hair; that wo had mr>ny bright black eyes, and some irresistible dark blue; and at the close of mv descriptions, I believe tho sheik and his party fett disposed to emigrate immediately to the chilly shores of Great Britain; theyasked, "Howfar off is your country ?" "Well," said the sheik, with a sigh, "that must bo a very ?harming country; how could you possibly come away from all your beautiful wives? Triio, you have brought ono with vou; she is, of course, tho youngest and most lovelv; perhips those yon have left at homo arc the old ones I" 1 was obliged to explain that wo are contented with ope wife, and that, oven wero people disposed to marry two, or more, they would be punished with imprisonment. This an? nouncement was received with a general expres? sion of indignation; the sheik and his party, who a few minutes ago wore disposed to emigrate and settle upon our shores, would now, at tho most have ventured upon a return ticket. After some murmurs of disapprobation, there was a decided expression of disbelief in my last statement. "Why," anid the sheik, "thc fact is simply impossi? ble I " How can a man bo contented with one wife ? It is ridiculous, absurd ! Wbat is ho to do when she becomes old? When sile is young, if rory lovely, perhaps he might bo satisfied with her; but even the young must some day grow old, and the beauty must fade. The maa docs not fade like tho woman; therefore aa ho Terrains tho same for many years, but sho changes in a few years, na? ture has arranged that thc nan shall have young wives to replace the old; doos not the prophet allow it': Had not our forefathers many wives? and sha!! W3 havo but one? Look nt Yourself. Your wife is young (and hero thc sheik in? dulged in compliments), but lu ten years she will not ne the same as now; will yo j not then lot her have a nice house all to herself, when she grows old, while von take a fresh voting wifo?" I was obliged to explain to *h?> sheik that, first, e>ur ladies never looked old; secondly, they im? proved with age; and thirdly, that wo were sup? posed to love our wives with greater ardor as they advanced in years. This was received willi an ominioua shako of thc hoad, coupled with the ex? clamation, "Masballahl" repeated by the whole party. This was the moment for a few remarks on polygamy; I continued, "You men are selfish; you expoct from the women that which you will not give in return, 'constancy and lovo ;' "if your wife demanded a multiplicity of husbands, would it not bc impossible to love h?r? how can she love jon if you insist upon other wives ?" "Ah!" ho replied, "our women aro different to jonis, thev would not Io.T wy^yjJ^^S? ^n Muntry\ "andTer" heart is stronger than a man's; she is afraid of nothing, because von uro with her; but our women prefer to be far away from their husbands, and are only happy when they have nothing whatever to do. You don't" understand our women; they are igno? rant creatures, and when theil youth is past are good for nothing bnt work. Yoii have explained your customs; your women arc adored by the men, and you are satisfied with ono wife, either young or old; now I will explain our customs. 1 have four wives; as ono has become old, 1 have replaced her with a young one; hore they ull are" (he now marked four strokes upon tho sand with his stick). "This one carries water; that grinds tho corn; this makes the broad; the lust docs not do much, as she is the youngest, and my favorite; and if they neglect their work, they get a taste ol' this!" (shaking a long and tolerably thick stick). "Now, that's tho differencu bctweeii our establishments; yours is well adapted for your country, and ours is the best plan for our own." AMERICAN POULTRY EXHIBITION.- The first Fall exhibition of this recently organized society is now open in New York. Good judges say it is by far tho largest show of poultry ever held in this country. There are ono thousand chickens, and two hundred aud fifty different varieties of Fancy stock on exhibition. There is a fair representation of choico geese, ducks, turkeys, pigeons, rabbits, and last, but not least, attractive Angora cats. A letter from that city soys: This show is turned to a good account for exhi? bition, as it is made a salesroom as well as an ex? hibition. A large part of the stock has changed bauds within tho past few days. Every "coop Las its price," and some of the fancy stock is exceed? ingly high. Just imagine how ploasaut it must bo to eat tho cge,s from a pair of Houdans that cost $1000. Several pairs are marked for sale- prico, $280, $300 and $400 a pair. Judging from the prices attached to some of the coops on exhibition, it would be much loss expensive to stock a farm with a thoroughbred herd cf neat cattlo than tho same number of fancy brod chickens, ducks or geese. There is a patent hatching machino on exhibition, prico $200, warranted to bring forth threo dozen chickens every threo weeks. This machino at? tracts considerable attention from visitors, and all admire tho cunning and vi;,'or of a youug brood, only a few days old.

TERRIBLE RAVAGES OK CHOLERA AT SEA-SEVEN? TY-FIVE DEATHS.-The ship Lord Brougham ar? rived at the New York quarantine last Friday, with a cargo of disease and death. She reports having lost, during the voyage, seventy-five out of three hundred and eighty-two steerage passengers, from cholera. The number who arc now down with tho disease is twenty. Many of those who have bceu ill look like skeletons. The sick have boen trans? ferred to the hospital ship, and thowell passengers sent ashore, preparatory to a thorough fumigation of tho ship. It ts stated that thc disease broke out two davs after tho vessel left Hamburg, and raged for a fortnight with great malignity. At ono time there were one hundred cases under treat mo.if, and the s.enes on hoard wero fearful, a panic prevailing among thc steerage passengers, rendering it diffic ult foi tho commander to pre? serve order. In some cases whole families were swept off by tho pestilence. There h ive been no new eases within thc past eight days. The .ship sailed without a physician, so that when tho dis? ease broke out no efficient efforts c ould be made to check Its progress. The captain reports that daring the early part of the vnyagn the woathei was wann, and it w:is only when it became coldei that the mortality decreased. Alargo number ol the victims were children. Many of those jrhe were attacked li\vd only two or threo hours aftei the first symptoms appeared. CUERA %V ADVERTIS IC It, T\EVOTED TO LITERATURE.

THE PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY OE MEDICINE AND SURGERY waa organized in 1848. Chartered by the Legislature, February 20. 1853. Nara e changed by a legislative enactment to the Eclectic Medical Col? lege, of Philadelphia, in 18C0. In 18(33 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical college, eslabbshcd in 1312, and thc Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously been merged into the Pennsylvania Medical College, in 1864 it purchased the Penn Medical University. The Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned and obtained a special Act of the Lcpis.ature, consolidating ? these institutions and changing their names to that of the k Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery, j March 16,13G5. AU these various Acts are publihed in | the statutes of Pennsylvania. Tho cost of the I uilding C and museum was over one hundred thouHand dollars, lt will be observed that the University, as DOW organized, is the legal representative or the four Medical Colleges that it has absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, con? fined to no dogma, nor attached lo any medical cliques, but embraces in its teaching everything of value to the' profession. Sessions.-lt has two ruD sessions each year, commenc? ing on the 1st of October, and continuing until the 1st of January, as its first session, and from the 1st ot January to the 1st ol April, as its s jcond ; the two constituting one lull course of lectures. It has al.-j a summer session, commencing the 1st April sad continuing until August, for the preparatory branches, such as Latin, Orees, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Anatomy Physiology, etc. Tickets.- Tickets to the full course of lectures $120, or $80 for each session. For thc summer or preparatory course $26. Uraudating lee $30. To aid young men ot moderate means, tho University has issued five hundred scholarships, which aro ?old to first-course students lor $75. and to second-course studeuts and clergymen for $50, each constituting the holder a life member, with the perpotual privileges of the lectures, and aU the teachings of tho school. The only additional tees are a > early dis? secting and matriculating ticket, each of which is $5. The Advantages of Scholarships.-The student holding a scholarship can enter the College at any time during the year, attend as long as he chooses, and re-enter the inst! tu:inn as frequently as deired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence, aU private tuition fee. arc saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can piosecute other business a cart of the tim e. Tho candidato for graduation can present himself at any time, and receive his degree as soon as qualified. In casca stu iout should hold scholarship and not be able lo attend lectures, it can ti? transferred to another, thus preventing any lo as. Parents, guardians or friends of students wishing to purchase scholarship tor them a year or more before their attendance at thc University, can secure them by advancing one-half the price and paying tho balance when tho student enters. Physicians and benevolent men can bestow great benefit upon poor young men by presenting them a scholarship, snd thus enabling thom to ODtain an honorable profession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physicians and surgeons. The Univers! y has associated with it a large hospital clinic, wheto every form of medical and surgical disease ia operated on and treated in the pres? ence of tho class.
