La Guayra to Liverpool, encountered a thunder-storm in lat. 
XVII. Medical Institution and Journal of South Caroli- 
na.—This Iustitution, already established under the most fa- 
yorable auspi-ces, is about to add to its usefulness, by the 
publication of a Medical and Physical Journal, to be con- 
ducted under the direction of the Medical Faculty of the In- 
stitution, and of other eminent professional men. We cannot 
doubt, that their efforts will prove eminently serviceable, es- 
pecially in the southern portion of the United States, which 
will, hereafter, have little occasion to send its youth to the 
mi and northern states, for a medical education. 
XVIII. Physical and Medical Journal of Cincinnati.—lt 
is not among the faults of the American character to neglect 
means of obtaining and diffusing useful knowledge. The 
existence of Cincinnati, now a beautiful and flourishing city, 
of the fourth class in the United States,* in a place, which, 
within the memory of many of its present inhabitants, was a 
wilderness, is scarcely more remarkable, than the creation 
there, and elsewhere in the west, of useful! institutions devo- 
ted to literature, science and the arts. A Journal of Medical 
_and Physical Science, (the first number announced for April,) 
is to be established at Cincinnati. Among its leading ob- 
jects will be the indigenous diseases and remedies of the west, 
and the facts and events relating to science and art, which 
are peculiarly local to the trans-alleghany regions; at the 
same time that it will not neglect the general progress of 
knowledge in other countries and in other parts of this + 
_ Itis a sufficient pledge for the zeal and ability with which 
mis Jour 1 be conducted, that its principal Editor is 
Dr. Daniel Drake of Cincinnati.
