WE are requested to call the attention of such of our readers as were formerly pupils of the lamented Mr. Bennett to the resolutions contained in our last number, by which a subscription has been commenced at the London University, for the purpose of awarding to his memory some tribute of affection from his pupils and friends. The committee which has been formed, and of which Mr. Samuel Hocking is kindly acting as Honorary Secretary, at the University, hope that the opportunity of contributing o this mark of respect will not be foregone by any of them. We have great pleasure in , stating that upwards of sixty pounds have already been subscribed. TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We have received almost iniitimerable communications relative to the London College of Medicine. Want of space compels ns to omit this week the insertion of several, and answers to snch as may require them ; but all those containing the names of candidates have been duly attended to.
