Histological Lectures.— The Royal College of Physicians of 

 London is abovit to open its halls for evening instruction. A 

 short course of lectures on the Structure of the Tissues of 

 the Human Body, with observations on their growth, nutri- 

 tion, and decay, is announced for delivery by Dr. Lionel Beale, 

 the Professor of Physiology at King's College. These lectures 

 will be delivered on Monday evenings, at half-past eight 

 o'clock, commencing on Monday evening, the 8th of April. It 

 is very gratifying to find the College of Physicians thus endea- 

 vouring to meet the spirit of the age, and it is to be hoped that 

 such encouragement will be given to this course of lectures as 

 to induce some of the other distinguished members of that 

 body to give the result of their experience in the form of short 

 courses of lectures.
