He ably and eloquently sustained the following po sition : ‘ If the Legislature allowed every man who applied here for the privilege of practicing medicine it would lower the standard necessarily held out to the world as an essential requisite for any one to practice medicine.’ Again, 4 The passage of such laws would cause a loss of human life, that the Legislature would and ought to be responsible for.’ Hill of Troup (also having M.

From the New York Post Wonderful Exhibition—A Living i’s Heart Open to Inspection. Some three years ago our physicians witnessed the process of digestion through an orifice left by a gun shot wound in the abdomen of Alexis St Martin. But a great er curiosity was yesterday exhibited to the students of the University Medical. College, at the hour of Professor Mott’s clinique. It was a case of deficiency of the stern urn (breast bone,) which enables the sev eral movements of the heart to be seen. It has excited intense interest for several years past throughout the cities of Europe and Britain. The subject of the defect is a very intelligent gentleman, Mr. Groux, a native of Hamburg, 28 years of age,— somewhat under the average height, and rather pale, though he appears to be in health. 11c was introduced by Dr. Mott, who thought that the substance which oc cupied the place of the sternum, might be cartilage. Mr. Groux then showed the peculiar formation of his chest, and gave an excellent lecture on the heart’s action, demonstrating his remarks with colored plates, an artificial heart, and his own body. The collar-bones are not connect ed, (neither are the ribs to their opposites,) but there is a grove where the sternum should lie; the skin Ls natural. In its na tural state this grove is about an inch and a half wide, but it can be distended to three inches. On looking at the grove, a pulsable swelling is discemable, opposite the third and fourth ribs; if respiration lie suspended, it rapidly rises to an enor- soon subsides. This is the heart. Between the clavicles there is another pulsatile swelling easily felt, which is the aorta, the great artery from the heart. The dilation and contraction of the lungs is also seen. In coughing the right lung suddenly pro trudes from the clicst through the grove, and ascends a considerable distance above the right clavicle in the neck. Mri Groux remembers being taken by his family doctor, to a' medical society in Hamburg, when about two years old, but he did not know for what; nor did the full importance of Las case appear to biin till he was over twenty years of age. In 1849, while on a visit to London, he was attacked with colcra, and then it was that his defect was made known to the profes sion. He was shown to several distinguish ed medical men as a great curiosity, and was advised to travel through Europe for the benefit of the profession. Not long after, while attending to his business, which was very confining, he was attack ed with haemoptisis (spitting of blood.)— He then concluded to abandon hLs occupa tion and follow the suggestion often made to him, viz: To travel and show himself to the medical men of the countries of Eu rope, Britain, and .now of America. He has an album of two volumes, which are nearly filled with the autographs of the chief members of all the importantmedi- cal societies and universities of Efirope, from St Petersburg to Madrid, and from A'iena to Galway, testifying to their great interest in the case. The signatures of professors and celebrities who have exam ined him, number over two thousand. At the close of the lecture yesterday, Dr. Mott proposed a collection in Mr. Groux’s behalf though his regular fee had been paid by the faculty. Scarcely had he sad the word wheitthe silver began to fly into the arena from the seats of the vast amphitheatre. Nearly all the three hundred students were present, and the shower of quarters greatly jeoparded the, lecturer (Dr. Mott) and his attendants, fo- getiter with Dr. Alexander B. Mott, who seemed to be a target in the innocent *-• movement AYe were favored this morning with, a call from. Mr. Groux, the congenital fisure of whose sternum created such interest at the Medical College to-day. His case foa most remarkable one, and is a rare oppor tunity for studying the ex cixti, the actions of the heart, great vessels and lungs. It solves several doubtful questions in regard.to the action of the heartland gives quite as vivid an idea of ths-great strength and rigorous moments of the ‘little life machine,” as if the- ribs were- out away and it exposed; more vivid indeed, for in the latter case there would be no action, such as is now plainly visible under alfj To the Girll conditions of the system, beneath only a Here Ls a paragraph of plain talk to the thin veil of flesh. { girls, by an anonymous author, which ia Somebody’s desire that there might be! worth a library of Young Ladies’ Book*, a window in the breast of all men, or 1 or Young Ladies’ Friends, or whatever Charles Lamb’s equivalent, a pane in the ; may be the title of the wishy-washy com- stomach seem nearly realized in Mr. i pounds that are seW for the benefit of that Groux’s case.

Of what avail is it to prove, to the satisfaction of every politician, that wc supply the South with all that they wear, from a top-knot to a shoe latchet; with all that they use, from a steam engine to a friction match, when this very pro cess feeds our manufactures ? The South is as necessary to the North as the North is to the South. Massachusetts anmmfiy makes six millions of dollars’ worth of shoes. The South is her best customer. AYhen the shoe business declines, gaunt hunger stalks through the streets of her flourishing villages. “ New England is extensively engaged in the manufacture of cotton. AYe buy the raw material of the South, and pay in goods. When our spindles cease to whirl, the operatives are threatened with starva tion. It is the spirit of a hyena that bites the hand that feeds it. It is high time to cultivate fraternal feeling between the different sections of our countiy. Neither commerce, manufactures, nor agriculture can flourish while the two hostile portions of our country endeavor to cripple and in jure each other. Suppose we succeed in convincing the South of th -ir dependence on us for all they eat, wear, and use, and thus stimulate them to establLsh manufac tories for themselves, or divert their trade into other channels, are we gainers by the process? 44 Suppose we prove to them that they are indebted to us for all their literature and all their teachers, and thus rouse their hostility to our books and teachers, are we benefitted in anywise ?

As we pass the rocky heights of Hin- nom wc are reminded of the miserable end of the traitor. Mat (27:5) states tliat Judas, after having brought his money and tlicown it down into the temple, went and hanged himself. Luke states (acts 1:18) that he “purchased a field with the- reward ol iniquity, and, falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all hi* bowels gushed out.” We have no certain knowledge as to the mode in which we arc to combine the two statements, so as to connect the act of suicide with what happened to the body. Jbterj*eters have suggested that Judas may have hung him self on a tree near a precipice- over the val ley of Hinnom, and that the limb or rope breaking, he fell to the bottom, and was' killed by the falL For myself I felt as I stood in this valley, and looked up to the rocky terraces which hang over- it,, that the proposed explanation was a perfectly natural one. I was more than ever satis fied with it I measured the precipitieus-, almost perpendicular walls, in different places, and found the height to be, vari ously, forty, thirty-six, thirty-three, Uni ty and twenty-five feet Olive-trees still grow quite near the edge of these rocks, and no doubt, in former times they were still mere numerous in the same place.— A rocky pavement exists, atao; at the bot tom of the precipices; and Hence, on that account, too, a person who should fell from above would be liable to be Brushed and mangled, as well as killed The trait or may have struck in his fell, xpon some pointed rock, which enteral the-body and caused 44 his bowels to gush out”—From Illustrations of Scripture, by Horatio B.

AYe saw several letters yesterday from the iiitcribr, say-* the- Savannah Republi can on Friday, stating that many planters were offering to lend their surplus money —of which there seems to be an abun dance for 6*4 and 98 days, at tlie rate of five to six per centum per annum, and others are anxious to lend it at 7 per cen tum and let the borrower keep if a year. This shows a flourishing state of affair* within our borders, hut we hope it may not he the means of inducing those who have means to overbuy themselves in pro perty at extravagant rates, and bring *- bout another season of working out of debt. Experience seems to have taught our planters something in this respect, and their course now in seeking to invest in something that can soon be turned into money again without’ being subject to the fluctuation- of property, purchased at high rates, indicates a determination to take advantage of that cx|ierience.
