opening, G, for the emission of the heat, and another, H, for the escape of the smoke, surrounding at the same time this chamber with a second, also of iron, a receptacle, A, is formed, in which the air may be rarefied, and conducted by a passage, BI, into a canal or flue, B, which has its orifice at the superior part of the chimney, and by a circular passage, 0B, into a second flue, C, which has its orifices at the lower part of the chimney. It is by means of the openings at the two extremities of the chimney that it is possible either to use the apparatus for the purpose of heating or for that of ventilation. The two orifices of the tube, C, are furnished each with a valve, D and F, which are so managed and connected, that when one is opened, the other is closed, and vice versd. If the valve, D, which communicates with the chamber, be closed, and the valve, F, which communicates with the flue, be open, the atmospheric air will enter the orifice, B, and becoming rarefied, will pass at once into the chimney. If, on the contrary, the valve, D, be open, and E closed, the atmospheric air will enter by the orifice, C, and becoming rarefied in the iron chamber, will pass off by the superior part of the chimney. Thus, by means of the two valves, D and E, either an ascending current of hot air, or a descending one of cold air, can be obtained at pleasure in the same tube, B. A careful examination of these stoves leads us to the opinion that they will effect the object contemplated by their inventor. Already, we are informed, have orders been received for their erection in various large rooms, and, amongst others, in the council-room of the College of Surgeons, in which the stove was tested some time since, at one of the College some. an

Clinical Medicine: at the Montreal General Hospital, by Dr. David; and Clinical surgery, at the same, by Dr. Arnoldi. At noon. Comparative Anatomy and Zoology: by Dr. Gibb. The dissecting rooms lighted with gas, and kept open from 6 A.M., till 11 P.M., daily, during which time competent demonstrators will attend. Five lectures will be delivered weekly throughout the session, on each branch, (excepting forensic medicine, clinical medicine, clinical surgery, ophthalmic and aural surgery, botany, and comparative anatomy and zooloty, each of which will be a three months’ course,) from 1st November to end of April, in conformity with the rules of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Lower Canada. The recent discoveries in physiology and pathology will be practically taught by means of achromatic microscopes. Ample opportunities for midwifery practice will be afforded to the senior students. Students attending the lectures on ophthalmic and aural surgery have the privilege of witnessing the practice at the Montreal Eye and Ear Institution. The fees for the lectures will be the same as at the University of McGill College. N.B.-" The certificates of this school are recognised by all the principal colleges in Great Britain and the United

By regulating the proportion of the opening or section, G, of the fireplace to that of the passage, I, of the chimney, Mr. Noirsain is able, by means of his apparatus, to raise the temperature of the flue to a sufficient degree to entirely prevent the condensation of the smoke passing through it.
