Westminster Hospital, which either is al-ready abandoned, or will be in a short

time ; and patients applying for the me-dical aid of the institution, will hence-forth be received at the new hospital,which will contain. 250 beds, being more

) than twice the number belonging to thother building. It will also, like the olderection, be open to the attendance of

students, and the following is a list of themedical officers, and their days and hours

of attendance :—Physicians.—Sir G.Tuthili, Monday and

Friday at twelve o’clock ; Dr. Bright, Mon-day and Thursday at twelve o’clock ; Dr.Roe, Wednesday and Saturday at twelveo’clock.

Surgeons.—Sir A. Carlisle, Wednesdayand Saturday at twelve o’clock; Mr.

that the pupils are permitted to go roundthe wards daily, from nine till eleveno’clock,-the physicians’ pupils with theapothecary, accompanied by the clinicalassistant, and the surgeons’ pupils accom-panied by the house-surgeons. At this

hospital all surgeons’ pupils may becomedressers in turn, without payment of the

enormous extra fee demanded at otherhospitals, by giving the house-surgeon in-timation of their wishes to that effect.Clinical lectures are promised to be given’on Tuesdays, at one o’clock, by Dr. RoE,and occasionally by the surgeons. Tues-day is the " takmg-in

WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.

Subjects. I Lecturers. I Days and Hours of Lectures. I Fees.

This school is situated in Dean-street,and will open for the first time on the 1stof October with an introductory addressby Mr. GUTHRIE. It has been the subjectof much bitter dissension between Mr.

GUTHRIE, one of the surgeons of the

Westminster hospital, with whom Mr.

Thompson, the assistant-surgeon of the Isame institution, is associated, and theother officers of that hospital. Mr. GUTH-RIE, who is supported in his views by thetreasurer of the hospital, wishes that theschool may be considered as a connexionof the hospital, and demanded for it thename of " Westminster Hospital Me-dical School." The permission to use thistitle was, however, warmly opposed hy theother surgeons and the physicians of thehospital, chiefly on the ground that butone medical officer of the hospital was

a lecturer in the school. The questioncame before the governors, who decided it,by a small majority, with the ballot, againstMr. GUTHRIE. The vote, however, as far asconcerns any effect which it produced onthe school, might nearly as well not havebeen passed, for the school stands much asit was in all respects before the decisiontook place. It is likely, however, to beopposed by a rival in its immediate neigh-

bourhood: We are informed that SirGEORGE TUTHILL and Dr. RoE, with the" sanction" of other medical officers ofthe hospital, are engaged in organizinganother " Westminster Hospital School:’If suitable premises could have been ob-tained in the vicinity of the hospital, theTuthill school would have opened at thesame time as the Dean-street establish-

ment ; but that being impossible, theschool is intended to be opened next

spring, or in the beginning of the follow-ing winter session.

In addition to Sir G. TUTHILL and Dr.RoE the following gentlemen have been,named to us as the intended lecturers:—Mr. LISTON, of Edinburgh, on Surgery ;Dr. BLUNDELL on Midwifery ; Mr. MALYNand Mr. MACKENZIE Lecturers, and Mr-T. R. Jowns Demonstrator, on Anatomy ; ,;Mr. KEMP on Chemistry; and Dr. CLEN-DINNING on Medical Jurisprudence. It

seems more than probable to us, however,.that the scheme will never be consum-mated.With regard to Mr. GUTHRIE’S con-

nexion with the existing school, we havebeen told that " it will cease with the

present session, in compliance with a re-solution now in progress through the
