VESUVIUS.-Professor Palmieri, the Resident Director

of the Royal Meteorological Observatory on Mount Vesuvius,says :-" We do not find in the history of Vesuvius so long aperiod of continued eruption as that of these late years.

"-Athenœum., LONGEVITY IN CLIFFORD’S-INN, LONDON.—A circum-stance of some interest in the vicinity of the Inns of Court has, .recently occurred, which appears to speak highly in favour ofthe salubrity of the very heart of the metropolis.

She had been married three times, and had hadtwo children. At her last marria.ge she was 74 years old. Asister of the late Mrs. Dyer, whose age only differed from hersby a few hours, is now living and in good health at Lowestoft.Mrs. Dyer was buried at Kensal.green Cemetery on Sunday

, COLLEGIATE FLECTIONS. -Notices have been sent tothe Fellows of the College of Surgeons that the annual electionof Fellows into the Council will take place at the College onThursday, the 4th of July, at two o’clock. The retiring mem-bers of the Council are eligible for re-election-an event whichwill no doubt take place unless the Fellows are disposed toadopt the recommendation of the late Mr. Guthrie and Mr.South. The latter, when chairman of the dinner which takesplace after the election, expressed the regret of himself andmost of his colleagues that new blood was not occasionally in,fused into their body. The Fellows have gracefully recognisedthe right of some gentlemen to seats in the Council, but whetherthey are to consider themselves elected for life is another mat.ter; and unless, like the Messrs. Stafford, Cutler, and Welbank, - they retire in time, it will be the duty of those who electedthem to propose other and perhaps better men. Considerablesurprise is expressed that the friends of Mr. Fergusson do notbring him forward; as there is no rule for seniority to be ob,served in collegiate elections. The blank forms of the requisitenotice and declaration, nomination, and certificate, may beobtained on application to the secretary of the College, and ..this should be done at once.

EAST INDIA ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.—We under-stand that a petition is to be presented to both Houses ofParliament in a day or two from the Parseeg, -resid-ent in Lon-don, Liverpool, and Manchester, praying that MuncherjeeBeramjee Colah, one of their fellow-countrymen, who has qua-lified himself for admission into her Majesty’s medical service,may be allowed to offer himself for examination, he havingbeen excluded by the Army Medical Department, on theground that the recent amalgamation of the Indian and British =forces would require army surgeons to serve in cold climates,which natives of India would be unfit for. The petitionersstate that "the Parsees accompanied the British forces toAffghaunistan, the climate of which isvery cold, and that manyother of their countrymen are permanently settled in almostevery English cairp in India, and bear the climate as well, ifnot better, than any other of her Majesty’s subjects." The

petitioners bring forward the opinions of several eminentmedical men of the three towns, London, Liverpool, and Man-chester, in confirmation of their physical ability to bear thecold of this and any other climate; and the petitioners relyupon her Majesty’s proclamation, published by the Governor-General of India after the mutinies in 1858, "that all -herMajesty’s subjects, of whatever race or creed, should be freelyand impartially admitted to all offices in the service, the dutiespf which they may be qualified by their education, ability, andintegrity fully to discharge.
