Terms per Session §SO All communications pertaining to this department must be addressed to E. W. M. KING, Esq. Memphis, Tenn., March, 1850. The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our country. The medi cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them arc able lecturers and the best of teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city has more. _ A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the place of studying medicines; those who intend practicing among the diMises of the West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs well for its future suceess ; and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.

Vain her boasting—Gracious Queen, Thy imperial smiles to win, Though her gorgeous skie3 are bright, Faints the spirit, ceath their light; Withering in her sultry g ; de, Flowers, their dying breath exhale; Basking, in her noonday beam, Sinks, and dries the crystal stream; Nature, languishes, and prays, For my softer, gentler ravs, Oh! how sweet! my golden gleam, After summer’s scorching beam; Oh ! how mild ! my harvest moon To the burning stars of June, , Then the rich, abounding-hoard Os fruit, that crowns my pleutious board, What can spring or summer tear, With it3 luxury to compare! All oh! Queen —thy own shall be Chosen, fairest, best by thee. WINTER. Though last, not least I dare to claim All that my sisters ask of fame; Let spring, exulting boast of flowers, Os genial gales and sunny bowers; Let summer glory in her beams, Her starry skies —her silver streams; Let Autumn, praise her milder rays; Her harvest moon, her golden days; All are not worth the joys that glow; Warming my sunless, waste of snow, The social bliss my hours impart, The fireside pleasures of the heart; Oh! Queen of May—thy regal day, As brief, as bright will pass away, But if on me snail rest thy choico Thou shalt possess far holier joys, Than spring or summer can bestow, Or Autumn’s votaries ever know. QUEEN OF MAY. Fair rival sisters, sweet the strain Your lips have breathed, and not in vain Are all your varying charms displayed, My praise to win,—my choice to aid. Dear spring! I love thy blooming flowers, Long may they beautify my bowers And shed their fragrance on my breast, Thou art the fairest— thou art best. Bright summer, beauteous are the beams That light thy skies, and gild thy streams, Thy dazzling claims, my lips avow, Thou art the best—the fairest, thou. Sweet Autumn ! lovely is thy dower, My spirit owns thy gentle power, And while thy charms, my lips attest, They own thee, fairest—dearest best. And thou fair winter, Oh ‘ how dear The home-born joys thou’st promised here; My heart with lond affection turns, To where thy fireside altar burns, When in its waimth, my soul find’s rest, I’ll call thee fairest—own thee best Hope, personified by MISS JANE SHOTWELL. I come with my anchor, twined with flowers, To rejoice with you in the blooming hours, My name is Hope, and where’er I stray, The blossoms spring up and adorn my way. Where the flowers are sweetest, I linger there And bid them a brighter beauty wear, I wander beneath an arch of blue, And give its to sapphire a deeper hue. I walk on the banks of the rolling stream, And give to its waters a silver gleam; The green leaves bow, where my footsteps rove, And the young birds chirp in the leafy grove. I heard a strain, of joy and of mirth, I saw the Bowers, plucked from the bosom of earth, I saw the May-banner by fair hands borne, And I knew, twas the coronation morn. Then I gathered my blossoms of fairest kind And around my anchor in garlands twined, And hastened hither, that I might pay, An offering sweet to the Queen of May. Oh! May-day Queen, let Hope lie thy friend, To life’s darkest hours, I brightness can lend, I color the future, with rainbow like dyes, Though born of the earth, I’m a child of the skies The Nymphs, Echo and Iris. —Ist Nymph —A. Neiad. MISS ANNA SANKEY. Oh! I rejoice,for winter’s reign No more is felt on hill and plain, The liberated stream once more Rolls in sweet music from the shore, The trees, their green, green robes assume, The flowers in glowing beauty bloom, And I, who long in icy chains, Have mourned in winters cold domains, Free as the bird upon the wing, I come my song of joy to sing, And as w ith bounding steps I past, Dew from my silver urn I cast, And every floweret, raised its head, Reviving from my airy tread. 2nd Nymph—A Dryad. MISS EMMA KIVLIN. Nymph of the fountain! I rejoice To hear once more thy silver voice, Sweet as the murmur of thy waves, Cool, gushing, from the coral caves. Soon as my leaves their music heard, With sudden thrill their veins were stirred, The green blood danced—each drooping bough With kindling life began to glow, Released from bonds, my grateful heart Longed its young raptures to impart, To some fair nymph, who feels like me The exulting joys of liberty. Ist Nymfii. Hark ! what choral voices swell ? Sweet the theme on which they dwell. CHORUS. Oh! happy day ! Oh’joyous day Hail to imperial, blooming May. Echo—Blooming May 2d Ntjieh. Whose accents lingering clear and sweet, The choral harmonies repeat ? Echo—Harmonies Repeat. 3d Nymph — miss victoria hoxey. ’Tis echo of the airy tongue Who dwells the deepest shades among, Seldom her graceful form is seen On flowery plain, or valley green, But near the rock and ruin gray Her stilly footsteps, love to stray, Come forth, sweet sylvan mocking bird, Nor cheat us with one airy word. Echo —One Airy Word. 3d nymph. In vain you seek our search to elude, Voice of the woodland solitude, Thy white robes with the zephyr play, Come, hail with us the Queen of May. CHORUS. Voice of the greenwood, come and pay, Thy offering to the Queen of May Echo—The Queen of May. Echo—(corning forth from her retreat) MISS MARIA KIVLIN. Oh! gentle nymphs! I fain would hide, In my rocky cave, by the mountain side, But the voices of youth on the breeze were borne And I knew ’twas the coronation morn, And I left my lonely home to repeat | The lingering sounds of their accents sweet, j Oh !• never yet on my airy tongue Have strains of sweeter melody hung; j They breathe of hope, of joy, of love, i They fill with music this Slay-day grove, j I will bear the sounds to the hills away, j And tell the rocks of this fair May-day. CHORUS. Yes! tell the rocks, and woods the lay That we breath for our Quuen, the Queen of May. Echo —The Queen of May. I But hark ! from above what music floats? i ’Tis Iris, I know her heaven-born notes, j She comes with the seven fold beams of heaven. Iris—miss Georgia warren. | I’ve left the rainbow of the skies J To cull the flowers of May, | And in this wreath the rainbow dyes, j Their seven-fold beams display. j The same fair hues are blending here i But these are born of earth, | While those that span the heavenly sphere Partake my glorious birth. Let the sweet, garland gently fall, And o’er her head incline, Who reign’s the maiden Queen of all That bow around her shrine. And tell her, when its blossoms fade To raise her eyes on high, And see unchanged, by earth’s dim shade The rainbow of the sky. Dialogue between. Miss Lizzie Ward and Miss Hannah Moses. Ist MISS LIZZIE WARD I come with a garland, I come with a song To bear my part in this youthful throng, To lift my young voice, like the birds of heaven. And praise my Creator for blessings he’s given. 2d MISS HANNAH MOSES. I come with sweet blossoms, to strew in the bower, Where reigns o’er her maidens, the Queen of the hour. Oh ! glad is my heart, and the incense oflove, Ascends up to heaven, in this beautiful grove. Ist All nature, with love, and with gratitude beams, The birds, and the blossoms, the vales and the streams, Then surely our voices, in chorus should rise And bear up our praise to the blue-bending skies. ’ *♦ 2d The flowers that I scatter, will fade and decay, We too, like the blossoms, will wither away, But may-flowers once more in their beauty will bloom, And the blossoms of life, spring again from the tomb. (The Garland of flowers, in which the rest of the young ladies, were included, having been recit ed and published on a former occasion, is omit ted now.) The planting of the May-Pole, Ist TOLE BEARER. Now e’re we part, companions dear We’ll plant our flowery banner here, While rallying round it, bright and fair, May’s votive maidens, may repair. 2d POLE BEARER. Then let this spot an altar be, The cffjrings flowers, the votaries, ice, Let Nature grant her smile benign To this her fairest, sweetest shrine The pupils then, descending from the bower, marched around the May-pole to the music of the band, scattering flowers as they passed, then forming a circle round the throne, Miss Sophro nia Woodruff came forward in the centre, and delivered the following Farewell Address. The gladsome hours are gliding past, Even now their parting shades are cast, Like all that’s fair, we pass away Leaving the fading flowers of May, Oh! maidens dear, we will not mourn, These joyous moments will return But when a few more blooming years Have passed away mid joys and fears, And sadder scenes, and darker hours, Succeed to pleasure’s fleeting flowers,— Oh! maidens dear, we then shall mourn O’er joys that never will return. But there’s a land of promise fair, To w hich our pilgrim steps repair, A shining band have gone before, And strewed with flowers the pathway o’er, Then maidens dear, we will not mourn O’ex joys that never may return. Farewell, thou beauteous bower of May, Ye votive wreaths and garlands gay, We go ’mid other scenes to dwell, Friends of the young! farewell, farewell. London. Its Wealth—Misery—Pauperism and Crime. The city of London, within the walls, occu pies a space of only 270 acres, and is but the hundred-affd-fortieth part of the extent covered by the whole metropolis. Neverthe less, it is the parent of a mass of united and far-spread tenement, streaehing from Ham mersmith to Blackwall, from Holloway to Camberwell. A century ago, according to Maitland, the metropolis had drawn into its vortex one city, and borough, and forty-three villages. Despite its vast extent, still its in crease continues to be so rapid that every year further house-room has to be provided for 20,000 persons; so that London increases annually by the addition of a town of consid erable size. At all times there are 4,000 ex tra houses in the course of erection. By the last return the metropolis covered an extent of nearly 45,000 acres, and continued up ward of 260,000 houses, occupied by 1,820,- 000 souls, constituting not only the densest, b it the busiest hive, the most wondrous work shop, and richest Link in the world. The mere name of London awakens a thousand trains of varied reflections. Perhaps the first thought it excites in the mind paint it as the focus of modern civilization, of the hottest, the most restless activity of the social elements. Some turning to the West, see it is a city of palaces, adorned with parks, ennobled with triumphal arches, grand statutes, and stately monuments; others, looking at the East, see only narrow lanes and musty counting-houses with tall chimneys vomiting black clouds, and huge masses of warehouses withdoors and cranes ranged one above another. Yet all think of it as a vast bricken multi tude, a strange incongruous chaos of wealth and want—of ambition and despair—of the brightest charity and darkest crime, where there are more houses and more starvation, than on any other spot on the earth —and all grouped round the one giant Gentry, the huge black dome, with its ball of gold looming through the smoke (apt emblem of the source of riches!) and making out the capitol, no matter from what quarter the traveller may come. ’ Those who have only seen London in the day time, with its Hood of life pouring through its arteries to its restless heart, know it not in its grandest aspect. It is not in the noise and roar of the cataract of commerce pouring through its streets, nor in its forest ships, nor in its vast docks and warehouses, that its true solemnity is to he seen. To behold it in its greatest sublimity, it must be contemplated by night, afar off’, from an eminence. The noblest prospect in the .world, it has been well said, is London viewed front the suberbs on a clear Winter’s evening. The stars are shining in the heavens, but there is another firmament spread out below, with its millions of bright light glittering at our feet. Line af ter sparkles, like the’ trails left by meteors, cutting and crossing one another till they are lost in the haze of the distance. Over the whole there hangs a lurid cloud, bright as if the monster city were in flames, and looking afar off’ like.the sea by night, made phosphor escent by the million creatures dwelling with in it. At night it is that the strange anomalies of London are best seen. Then, as the hum of life ceases and shops darken, and the gau dy gin palaces thrust out their ragged and squalid crowds to pace the streets, London puts on its most solemn look of all. On the benches of the parks, innitches of the bridges, and in the letters of the markets, are huddled together the homeless and the destitute. The only living things that haunt the streets are the poor wretches who stand shivering in their finery, waiting to catch the drunkard as he goos shouting homeward. Here on a door step crouches some shoeless child, whose day’s begging has not brought it enough to purchase it even the twopenny bed that its young companions in beggary have gone to. There where the stones are taken up and pil ed high in the centre of the streets in a flag of flume—there, round the red glowing cork fire are grouped a ragged crowd, smoking or dozing through the night beside it. Then as the streets grow blue with the coming light, and the church spires and the chimney-tops stand out against the sky with a sharpness of out line that is seen only in London before its million fires cover the town with their pall of smoke—then come sauntering forth the unwashed poor, some with greasy wallets on their back, to hunt over each dirt heap, and eke out life by seeking refuse bones or stray rags and pieces of old iron. Others on their way to their work, are gathered at the corner of the street round the breakfast stall, and blowing saucers of streaming coffee drawn from tall tin cans, with the fire shining crim son through the holes beneath; whilst already the little slattern girl, with her basket slung before her, screams water cresses through the sleeping streets. Yet who, to see the squarlor and wretch edness of London by night, would believe 29 only of the London bankers have cleared through their clearing-house as much as nine hundred and fifty four millions pounds ster ling in one year, the average being more than three millions of money daily—or that the loans of merely one house in the city through out the year exceed thirty millions? Who could have visited the Rockery of St. Glie’s as it existed but a few months back, and have seen the unutterable abominations of this re treat of wretchedness, this nest of disease, at once the nursery and sanctuary of vice— where in one house alone, Mr. Smirke tells us, were huddled together eleven men, thirteen women, and thirty children—where as many as sixty of the foulest of the London lazzaroni often sleep in the same abode; who could wit ness this want and wretchedness, and yet be lieve that this country is “the bank of the whole world,” as the late Mr. Rothschild call ed it in 1832; or that “all transactions in In dia, in China, in Russia, and indeed in every other empire, are guided and settled in this country. It is impossible to believe that any among us should want a roof to shelter his head by night or a crust to quell his hunger by day, | when we find that the amount of the property i insured against fire is valued at more than i five hundred millions sterling, even though, | according to the returns made of the fires in the metropolis during 1836 and 1837,forty per cent of the houses, amounting to two fifths of the whole were entirely uninsured? “A very short excursion into the worst part St. Giles’s says Mr. Smirke, “will be enough to convince any one through the medium of ev ery sense, that it was built before the whole some regulations respecting buildings and cleansing were in force. Indeed, there is scarcely a single sewer in any part of it; so that here, where there is the greatest accumu lation of filth, there is the least provision made for its removal.” And yet, in the Hol born and Finisbury division alone —close neighbors—the length of main covered sew ers is 83 miles, the length of smaller sewers to carry off the surface water from the roads and streets 10 miles—the length of drains lead ing from houses 204 miles—an extent almost equal to the distance of London from Edin burgh. The amount of money spent and the vastness of apparatus employed simply in lighting London and the suberbs with gas, would seem to dispel all thoughts of poverty. According to the accounts of Mr. Headley, the capital employed in pipes, tanks, gas hol ders, and apparatus of the London gas works amounts to £2,800,000 and the cost of light ning averages close upon half a millfon of money per year; no less than 1,400,000,000 feet of gas being annually consummed, and upwards of nine millions being used on the longest night, giving a light equal to half a million pounds of tallow candles. ‘•The consumption of butchers’ meat” says an excellent authority, “is nowhere so great in proportion to the population as in London. The population which obtains a supply of an imal food from the metropolitan markets a mounts to two millions. Now calculating i the number of cattle and sheep sold in smith- ; field in 1849, with the number ot pigs and, calves from the returns of a previous year, and , averaging the dead weight of each according i to the judgement of an intelligent carcus I butcher m YVarwick-lane, the gross weight’ of animal food which is furnished by the Smithfield market M ill amount to two hun dred and seventy millions eight hundred and eighty thousand poundsof meat annually con- i sumed in the metropolis alone. At the low ‘ price of 6d. per pound the above quanti- ! ty, amounts to £6,847,000, and dividing this quantity umong a population ot two millions, the consumption of each individual will aver age 130 pounds of meat in tho course of the year, so that it seems almost impossible to be lieve that any living soul within or without the city walls should ever want a dinner. The amount of crime in London is almost as amazing as its wealth. About 36,000’ criminals pass through the metropolitan goals, bridewells and penitentiaries every year. In one year the number of persons taken into custody by the metropolitan police for various infractions of the law amounts to 05,000 and is—equal to the whole population of some of our largest towns. The criminal districts of tho metropolis are peculiar. Larcinies in dwelling-houses were most numerous in white Chappel in one year, and in St George’s-in the-Borough in another. Larcenies on tho person, on the other hand, were most com mon in Convent-Garden at one time, and at another in Shadwell Highway robberies, and shop breaking occur most frequently in the eastern and southern districts, as White chapef, Southwark, Lambeth, Mile-end, and Poplar. The parish of St. James usually fur nishes the largest proportionate number of cases under the head of arunkardness, disor derly prostitutes, and vagrancy. Clerken well is distinguished for the greatest number of cases of horse-stealing, of assaults with at tempt to rescue and wilful damage. Common assaults are said to be most frequent in Cov ent garden and in St. George’s-in-the-East; coining and uttering counterfeit coin in Clerk - enwell and Covent-garden; embezzlement in Whitechaple and Clerkenwell; and pawning illegally in Mile-end and Lambeth. Murder has been found to be most prevalent in Clerk - cnwell and Whitechapel, manslaughter iti Is lington and Clerkenwell, and arson in Mary lebone and Westminster. One thing is at least clear, that, judging from the limited num ber of facts supplied to usT, Clerkenwell would seem to hold a bad preeminence for the number and nature of the offences com mitted within its limits. The Constabulary Commissioners who had access to the best sources of information, made a return of the number of thieves and suspicious characters within the boundaries of tho metropolitan police, and the following is the result of their investigation:—They divided the wholo into three classes, and they found, Ist that there.were 10,444 persons who had not visi ble means of subsistance, and who are believ ed to live bv the violation of the law, as by habitual depredations, by fraud, by prostitu tion, &c.; 2dly—of persons following some os tensible and illegal occupation; but who are known to have committed some offence, and are believed to augment their gains by ha bitual or occasional violations of the law, there were 4,853; and 3d!y—there were 2,- 104, persons not recognised to have commit ted any off ences, but now as associates of the above clas#s, and otherwise deemed to be suspicious characters. Besides this return, the Constabulatory Commissioners also ob tained another, giving the number of houses open for the accommodation of delinquency and vice in the metropolitan district namely, houses for the reception of stolen goods, 227; houses for the resort of thieves, 276; number of brothels where prostitutes are kept, 933; number of houses of ill-fame where prostitutes resort, 848; number of houses where prosti tutes lodge, 1,554; number of gambling-hous es, 32; and number of medicants’ lodging houses, 221. NO. 23. Who is General Lopez? This question has frequently been asked, ’ since the sailing of the Cuban The subjoined sketch of his career, we find 1 in the Philadelphia Bulletin, condensed from a long account in a New Orleans paper: Narciso Lopez was born of wealty pa rents, in 1798 or 9, in Venezuela, and is now a little over fifty years of age. He was the only son that grew to manhood, though he had numerous sisters. He was trained to the saddle, as is the cilstome in South America. His father being obliged by civil disturbances ro remove to Caraccas, where he entered up on a commercial life, his son Norciso super intended a branch of the House at Valencia, in the interior. Here, during the troubles of Boliver’s time in 1824, young Lopez took i a prominent part on the popular side, and narrowly escaped from massacre. At length, when reduced almost to desperation, he en listed in the army, as his only chance for life. At the end of the war between Spain and the insurgents, Lopez found himself a Colonel, at the age of 23. lie had also received the cross of San Fernando, as a further reward for var ious gallant deeds during the war. On the evacuation of the country by the Spanish ar- I my, Col. Lopez returned to Cuba. | Since that time, (1823,) Lopez lias been a ’ Cuban having married and established himself jin the island. He was known to be possess led of liberal principles which prevented him from obtaining office in the island, and thus remained in retirement. During the first of the Carolist troubles in Spain, Lopez happened to be in Mardrid with his wife, Urg ing a private claim on the gonvernment. He distinguished himself on the government side: was made first aid-de-camp to the Command er in Cheif, Gen. Valdez, and received sever al military decorations. He become the warm personal friend of Valdez, who was to wards the most pupular Captain General of Cuba. He was for a time, Commander in Chief of the National Guard of Spain, and, subsequently Commander in Chief of several princes. During all this period of favor with the royalist party, it is said that he remain ed faithful to his democratic principles; and though caressed by the Queen Mother, Chris tina, he despised and distrusted her. On the insurrection which ended in the ex pulsion of Christina from the regency, Lopez was made Governor of Madrid, a post which he held until Espartero became regent, when he positively refused to hold it spite of the so licitations of Espartero. As Senator of the Kingdom, from the Liberal city of Seville, he studied the politics and institutions of Spain, and then first learned the condition of the Spanish colonies, and especially the oppres sion under which Cuba, the country of his adoption, labored. The expulsion of the Cu ban deputies from the Cortes further disgust ed him, and, resigning his office, he de parted for Havana, not without some trouble in obtaining permission. At this time, (1839,) General Valdez was Captain General of Cuba. During the vari ous political troubles of Spain, Lopez held different posts of honor and emoluments in the Island, but, at length he resigned all except his rank as Ganeral, and the then undertook the working of an abandoned copper mine, as a pretext for returning to the Central De partment. Here he began to mingle with people and concert a plan for the liberation of Cuba. The enterprize of last year, which miscarried so completely, was the result of his first efforts. The second effort, better matured and more extensive, is now on foot.
