circumstances connected with the presentation of a memorial to the Council of the College of Surgeons by certain members of the profession ( including himself ) , statingthe reasons which led to the adoption of that proceeding . The advisability of maintaining the connexion of dental / with general surgery was strongly-insisted . upon , and it was held that a voluntary separation , froni the- College of Surgeons could not but be disadvantageous to the body of dentists . The great need of a society , formed on the model of other scientific societies , as a point of union amongst the practitioners of dental 6 nrgery .. and as a medium for the communication of experience . and the discussion of professional subjects , was pointed out , and the president concluded by expressing his conviction that these objects would be fully attained by the establishment of the Odontological Society .
Longevity Despite op . a Bad REGnvnarA—The life of the Rev . William Davies , rector of Staunton-upon-Wyed , vicar of All Saints , Hereford , who died in . 1790 , aged one hundred and five , displays one of the most extraordinary instances of departure from all those rules of temperance and exercise which so much influence the lives of the mass of mankind , that £ s probably to be found 5 n the whole records of longevity . Daring the last thirtyfive years of his life , he never used any other exercise than that of just slipping his feet , one before the other , from room to room ; and they never after that time were j aised but to go down or up-stairs—a task , however , to which he . seldom subjected himself . His breakfast was
hearty , consisting of hot rolls , zcell frittered ., Tvith a large gupply of tea or coffee- His dinner was substantial , and frequently consisted of a variety of dishes . At supper he generally ate hot roast meat , and always < lrank wine , though never to excess . Though nearly blind for a number of years , he tvas always cheerful in bis manners , and entertaining in his conversation , and was much beloved b y all who knew him . He had neither gout , stone , paralysis , rheumatism , nor any of those disagreeable infirmities which mostly attend old age , hut died peaceably in the full possession of all his faculties , mental and corporeal , save his eyesight . Like most long livers , he was very short of stature . —The London Quarterly Review for January .
Crystal Palace . —The great poultry show , which has been announced for some time pastnt the Crystal Palace , is to open to-day ( Saturday ) , The show will take place in the wing of the building leading from the railway corridor to the Palace , and in the large towei at the end of that wing . Although slightly inferior in numbers to the Jate Birmingham display , tliis show - will fully equal it in the quality of tie poultry and pigeons exhibited , and will far excel it in the ampler space and tetter light at command . One important class of fancy animals—r rabbits—which were unrepresented at Birmingham , will form a very important part of the show at Sydenham .- —Daily News . Minute MEDUSiE . —There is one group of these creatures in which a different class of phenomena present themselves . The polype developed from the embryo in the egg throws out tranches like the
freshwater species , without secreting a horny investment . But , after a time each polype undergoes a new change . It casts away its terminal ring of tentacles : numerous parallel constrictions of its waist cause its body to resemblo the flounced dress of a modern belle . The constrictions nearest the free extremity , successsively deepen , until that extremity becomes detached ; -as if a transverse slicohad been cut off , carrying with it one of the flounces . This slice , which lecomes a free indey & ident Med-usa , is followed in succession by others ; amtil nothing remains but & stump-end of the original : animal . Nothing daunted by th « so successive slicings , the fragment throws out from its free
extremity a new ring of tentacles , and develops a newarray of lateral branches ; each of which , in time , undergoes the same fission as the original polypo ; so that , by the end of the season , the latter has , directly and indirectly , originated more Medusas than -we could easily number . But let not awe-stricken Malthusians imagine that this is the end of the mischief ! -yfh & t has occurred ia but a preparation for the true work of multiplication . As ive have said , these Medusnaaro to the polype what dioecious flowers are to the plant . Each female produces egga innumerable . The whole is an institution for dispersing what would becomo a surplus population ; and would delight the Emigration Commissioners , did . not its perfect action paralyse them -with despair . —The ( London Quarterly Itevicw for January .
Derby SritiNG Races . —Th < sse events arc fixed for Thursday , February 26 ( weather permitting ) . Tho following stakes will bo contested for ; —Tho Scarsdalo Stakes of 5 sovs . each , with 2 5 rovs . added , for 2-yrolds ; [ the Harrington Plate ( a . handicap ) , with 80 sova . added , for 0-yr-olds and upwards ; a Soiling Plato ( flat race ) of 20 aovs . added to a sweepstake of 5 aovs . each , for 3-yr-olds , and upwards ; the Midland Steeple-chuao of 50 sovs ., added to a handicap of 10 hovh . each ; a Hurdle Bace of CO bovs ., added to a handicap of 5 aovs . each ; a Selling Hurdlo Uace of 25 sovs ., ndded to a Bwcopatake of 5 sovs . each .

Tub 'Wkathkk in Paius . —A very decided change haa taken placo in tho weather , which has all at once becomo much colder . A considerable quantity of enow fell on 'Monday night in tho neighbourhood of
Paris , and yesterday , morning the roofs of the houses were all white . During the day , the state of the atmosphere was . exceedingly wintry , amd the difference between temperature then and that of the day before was very marked . It is worthy of notice that the 'prediction , of the weather made about a fortnight ago by 'the Abbe O'Donnelly expressly mentions January 6 th as the day on-. which , the change to a decidedly colder state of the atmosphere was to commence .
C . J . Make and Co . —The worts lately the property of C . J .

England , we are assured , completely approves of the last proposition made by the Emperor Kapoleon , which is . to -. this effect : — ' The Federal Council is requested to release the , prisoners solely out of regard for the friendly sentiments of the Emperor . The Emperor , in return , engages to endeavour to obtain from the King of Prussia the complete renunciation of Ncufchatel . Should the King : of Prussia refuse to negotiate on this base , the Emperor will oppose any aggression on the part of Prussia against Switzerland , and will defend the independence of Neufchatel '"

Will The Senate Ratify? By Our Last Advi...
WILL THE SENATE RATIFY ? By our last advices from Ameriea we learn , that tlie Senate had been for "three or four days engaged in discussing the treaty between . Great Britain and the XJnited States , to settle the joint action of the two Powers in the difficult questions of Central 'America . This long discussion is somewhat ominous ; it tells us what we are not surprised to observe ,- —that a difficulty had occurred in persuading the senators to ratify the treaty . One cause of difficulty might present itself in the fact that Great Britain had not taken
any steps to renew diplomatic relations on its own / part with the Bepublic ; for , df course , at that date Ijord Na . 3 ? ier ' s appointment-was not known , and we Iiave not yet the trans-Atlantic telegraph . We see , also , many points in the treaty which might make the representatives of the American States pause in finally accepting it . Since we do not intend to maintain these
points , it will quite suffice to indicate them . The treaty recognizes the territorial possessions of the Mosquito Indians , and to the extent to which , they extended before , which the Americans liad all along denied . It ratifies " hondjide grants of land" made by the Mosquito Indians for consideration , " although beyond the limits of the territory reserved for them ; " namely , a hundred yards square within the limits of San Juan , or G-reytown , or one league square—nine square miles
beyond the limits of tlie town . What is tins but sanctioning grants made by the Indiana in "territory over which they have no authority , —grants of land nine times the size of Hyde Park ? Article the ninth " provides that the two Grovernments bind themselves , in case the Republics of Nicaragua and Costa liicay or either of them , should refuse to accept the arrau gem en "ta contained in the
preceding articles , not to propose nor consent to any other arrangements more favourable to the refusing party or parties . " This looks like a very preposterous restraint upon the ' two parties to the treaty . " We can scarcely suppose that Mr . D-A-I / las perceived the whole bearing of it bo clearly as it will be perceived in the Senate . The treaty recognizes the whole encroachment of British Honduras to the
Siboon river , and tho western boundary of the British settlement , if within two years it be ratified by the State of Guatemala . This affirms what tho United States have always denied ; and if the sting is taken out of tho affirmation by tho last condition , that condition only creates an opportunity for Great Britain and the United StatoB ,.. or the adventurous representatives of tho two powers , to plunge into intrigues' within the state -of Guatemala for the purpose of accomplishing
