' Q'In it late No. of the Gazette we alluded
togthe subject ofa Lyeeuin; we had not time or
9l’“C8 then to speak oftlie great benefits which
would naturally flow from the establislinient
of such an Institution among us. Our Bridge-
port friends are really in advance of us in this
particular, as will appear from a portion
of a Report from a committee of a sim-
ilar Institution in that place. which we
print in another column. “'0 would impress
this subject strongly on the minds of our fel
low citizens, in order that by immediate action
tlioseadvantages, open to all. and so eage-I'ly
seized by some. may not be lost to us by con-
tinued and unpardonable neglect. \Ve have
witnessed the success of like organizations in
other places; New Haven, Norwich and
Bridgeport. all give us their united voices in its
favor. In Massachusetts every town has a
substitute fora Lyceum in a small Library,
purchased by the cooperation of the State.
It is in this way she scatters knowledge
throughout; her limits; it is by the some means
that New England. as a whole. has made its
power felt wliere.ver her sons have gone.

In whatever light we view this subject.
there is no aspect which does not clearly re-
fleet. its importance. \Ve suppose the whole
expense would be so trifling, as not. to deserve
"tiny serious consideration here. For each
,m6lllll8l' the amount; would be very small——per-
ha-ps not over $1 per year.

Connected with our idea of a Lyceum are
‘four things : a Library, Reading Room, a
"series of Lectures. and a general regular Dis-
cussion--tlie last two at proper seasons of the
year. The Libiary would be gladly welcomed
by all; very few persons are able to supply
themselves with such reading as they desire,
and are either compelled to omit reading alto-
gether or to draw their supplies from their
more opulent and generous neighbors. A
common Library. where one is served equally
with another. and as frequently as may be
desired, would obviate any difficulty arising
The Reading Rconi,

general ruin that would be the last thing our
citizens would be willing to dispense with.
Here we would speak fora certain class of
population. a class very desirous, as we are_told,
of having some place of every day rendezvous.

Our young ineniire eager to have a place
provided where they can throw off from time
to time such knowledge as they find to them-
selves perfectly useless, and which might be of
solid benefit to their human kindred. All we
ask is—let our young orators have a chance,

-and if the whole world is not enlightened, whose

fault would it be?
tertaining part of this grand scheme would be
the series of lectures almost. invariably connect-
ed with an

A very inteiestiiig and en-

institutian like tliatof which we

know of no way in which an evening can be
more profitably spent, than by listeniiig to such
men as Prof. Mitchell, Prof. Silliiiian and oth-
ers of all lirofessions.

Hei e is a chance for theficquisition of-a great
good. To every class this project commends
itself-—to the old and young. to the rich and
poor, to persons in every departiiieiit of life. \Ve
are full of hope and free of faith in the ulti-
mate establishmeiit of such an institution, and
the sooner it is done, the sooner can we enter
men the numerous enjoyiiients, the lasting
benefits certain to be provided.

En’ Mr. Hobbs, the famous New York lock
maker,has picked the celebrated ‘CllUl)l) Lock,’
an English invention, at the \Vorld’s Fair, set-

offered $510,000 for the privilege of picking the
lock that secures the grert; regal diamond of

not deemed expedient" to let him try.

I?‘ The receipts at the Crystal Palace, on
the 22d. were upwards of $22,000. The price
of tickets were to be reduced from 55 to ls
—wlien it was conjectured that, the visitors
would number 50.000 to 60,000 daily. The
total receipts thus far are $180,000, which
gives a nett surplus over all expenses of £30,-

not given to exaggersfion, that he has made
$500,000 by the Jenny Lind Concerls,and says
that Jenny has realized not less than $350,000
in this pcoutztry. The net proceeds of the

Jobbing of every description in his line done
at short notice. Roofing is also an important
branch of his business, and he has never failed
in one instance to give entire satisfaction to
those who have employed him; as his roofs

the expansion and contraction of the metal by
heat and cold will not injure the roof. He has
also patent zinc paints. particularly adapted to
metal roofs-—as it forms a slow galvanic action

rust when exposed to the weather. Come and
