circumstances connected with the presentation of a memorial to the Council of the College of Surgeons by certain members of the professiou ( including himself ) Btating the 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 from 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 surgery and aa 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 .
Paris , and yesterday morning the roafe of the houses were all white . During the day , the state of the atmosphere was exceedingly wintry , and 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 A . bbe 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 .

Longevity Despite of a Bad Regimen . —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 tie . 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 is probably to le found in the whole records of longevity . During the last thirtyfive years of his life , he never used any other exercise than that of just slipping his feet , one before tie other , from room to room ; and they nevei after that time were raised but to go down or up-stairs- —a task , however , to which he seldom subjected himself . His breakfast was
learty , consisting of Jiot rolls , well buttered , with a large supply 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 drank wine , though never to excess . Though nearly blind for a number of years , he was always cheerful in his manners , and entertaining in his conversation , and was much beloved by all who knew him . He had neither gout , stone , paralysis , rheumatism , nor any of those disagreeable infirmities which mostly attend old age , but 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 .
Cbtstal Palace . —The great poultry show , which has been announced for some time past at 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 tower at the end of that wing . , Although slightly inferior in numbers to the late Birmingham display , this show will fully equal it in the quality of the poultry and pigeons exhibited , and will far excel it in the ampler space and better light at command . Gne important class of fancy animals—rabbits—which were unrepresented at Birxningbam , -will form a very important part of the show at Sydenham . —Daily News . Minute Medusa .- —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 branches like the
freshwater species , without secreting a horny investment . 33 ut , after a time , each polype undergoes a new change . It casts away its terminal ring of tentacles : numerous parallel constrictions of its waist cause ita body to resemble the flounced dress of a modern belle . The constrictions nearest the free extremity , successflively deepen , until that extremity becomes detached ; as if a transverse slice had been cutoff , carrying with it one of the flounces . This slice , which becomes a Jree independent Medusa , is followed in succession by
others ; until nothing remains but a stump-end of the original animal . Nothing daunted by these successive elicings , the fragment throws out from ita free extremity a new ring of tentacles , and develops a new array of lateral branches ; each of which , in time , undergoes the same fission as the original polype ; so that , by the end of the season , the latter has , directly and indirectly , originated more Medusae than we could easily number . But let not awe-stricken Malthusians imagine that this is the end of the mischief ! What has occurred is but a
preparation for the true work of multiplication . As we have said , these Medusroare to the polype what dioecious flowers are to the plant . Each female produces eggs innumerable The whole is an institution for dispersing what would become a surplus population ; and would delight the Emigration Commissioners , did not its perfect action paralyse them with despair . —The London Quarterly Iteview for January . Dkrby Spbino Races . —Theao events aro fixed for Thursday , February 2 G ( weather permitting ) . The follo stakes will bo

It is understood that England supports those propositions . " The folloxring , " says a letter from Berne of the 3 rd , in the Indipttvlance of Brussels , " is the moat trustworthy version of the negotiations for the pacific solution of the question- England , we are assured , completely approves of the last proposition made
by the Emperor Napoleon , 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 Neufchatel . 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 HA . TIFT ? T 3 y our last advices from America , we leara tliat the Senate liad been , for three or four days engaged in discussing the treaty "between Great Britain and the United 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 ot > - serve , —that a difficulty Lad 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 Republic ; for , of course , at that date Iiord Napier's appointment -vraa not known , and we have not yet the trans-Atlantic telegraph . We see , also , niany 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 MoBquito Indians , and to the extent to which they extended before ,, which tlae Americans had all along denied . It ratifies " bond fide 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 Grreytown , or one league square—nine square miles
beyond the limits of the town . What is this but sanctioning grants made by the Indiang in territory over which they have no authority , —grants of land nine times the size of Hyde Park ? Article tlie ninth lt provides that the two Governments bind themselves , in case the Bepublics of Nicaragua and Costa Iiica , or either of them , should refuse to accept the arrangements contained in the
preceding articles , not to propose nor consent to any other arrangements more favourable to the refusing party or jmrties . " This looks like a very preposterous restraint upon the two parties to the treaty . "We can scarcely suppose ) that Mr . Dallas perceived the whole bearing of it so clearly as it -will be perceived in the Senate . The treaty recognizes the 'whole encroachment of British Honduras to the
Siboon river , and the western boundnry of the British settlement , if within two years it be ratified by the State of Guatemala . This affirms what the United States have always denied ; and if the sting is taken out of tho affirmation by the last condition , that condition only creates an opportunity for Great Britain and the United States , or tho adventurous representatives of the two powers , tc plunge into intrigues -within tlie state oJ Guatemala for tho purpose of accomplishing
