Considering the talents, acquirements and experience of DR. MURRAY, I cannot imagine a more suitable appointment than his would be to the office of Colonial Surgeon in Hong Kong.

DR. JOHN IVOR MURRAY has been well known to me since 1842, when he first became my pupil. During several years after that period I received much valuable aid from him in the capacity of my class-assistant, and I knew him to have obtained the best professional education at the University of Edinburgh. I was in constant correspondence with DR. MURRAY during his residence in China, and I was fully cognizant of the able and spirited manner in which under great difficulties he established himself in practice at Shanghai. His successful exertions in founding an hospital for the sick in that city are deserving of the highest commendation and of more substantial rewards.
Upon these grounds, I am of opinion that from his ability and intelligence, his scientific attainments and professional experience, and his intimate knowledge of China, its climate and diseases, there are few men, if any, better qualified than DR. MURRAY to occupy the situation of Colonial Surgeon at Hong Kong.

MY DEAR SIR,
I have much pleasure in stating my conviction, founded on what I knew of you when a Student and Graduate here, on your ten years' experience of Medical practice at Shanghae on an extensive scale, and on the opportunities I have had of judging of your acquirements during a friendship of two years since you came here from the Crimea, that you are eminently qualified to discharge the duties of Colonial Surgeon at Hong Kong; and that I found this conviction not less on your professional merits than on your character and conduct as a Gentleman.
DR. IVOR MURRAY,
I am,
Yours very truly,
R. CHRISTISON.

I cordially urge the claims of DR. J. IVOR MURRAY to the office of Colonial Surgeon, Hong Kong, rendered vacant by the death of Dr. Harland. He can produce Testimonials to his medical skill and experience, of the highest kind, from those best entitled to judge of such qualifications. It is on other grounds that I recommend him. During a residence of ten years in China,
