ST. TnoMAs’s HOSPITAL.—The whole ofthe medical and surgical lecturers of St.Thomas’s Hospital have resigned their chairs.The school no longer exists; and it is sup-posed that the governors will remodel it, byappointing fresh men to the hospital, whowill be competent to lecture, and therebyrevive the once far-famed school again. The

physicians and surgeons must resign their

appointments, as well as their chairs,

LECTOR.—May 5, 1842.Many correspondents wish us to objectto to

the transmission to them in England, by Dr.Martyn Payne, of Boston, U.S., of his medi-cal pamphlets, through the medium of anexpensive post, without paying the cost oftheir transmission.

Erratum.—The title of the letter of Dr,

Dick, at p. 195 of last week’s LANCET, for" Opinions of some Phrenologiats on Phre-nology," read " Opinions of some Physiolo- jgists on Phrenology." ‘’
