EDITOR—This Institution, by whomso ever projected, was creditable to their under standings, and would (if continued according to the rules and regulations upon which it was established) be highly conducive towards the cultivation of so distinguished and delightful a science amongst our countrymen, who are in possession of every requisite for either design or execution. The specimen already produced warrants me in saying, " we should ultimately do away with the horde of Foreigners, who, in , a few years here, acquire a princely fortune, re tire to spend it in their own country, arid laugh at our folly. The plan held forth at the corn= mencement of this Institution was flattering to Professors particularly ; and, as merit was prin cipally necessary, great exertions were made to procure patronage. Ten boys and ten girls were to form the foundation ; and those to be selected 1 -out of any number of candidates that chose to offer themselves ; which in all amounted to 54 as competent to enter. Now, Sir, the Academy being thus established, began and pursued its I labours for only one solitary year ! but with most flattering anticipations of the future ; when lo ! and behold, a total change of system com mences. More pupils were to be admitted, and indiscriminately with those who had undergone the fiery ordeal ; who must (instead of continuing on the terms of 10 guineas per annum, as at first proposed,) either submit or withdraw, if the new terms of 401.! per annum could not be com ' plied with. This. was submitted to by most, if not all the old pupils, and, although it might be truly said, " that, all things considered, the ad ditional charge was - not equal to the advantages to be derived," yet, it was a severe stroke on such as had every reason to conclude themselves firm on. the Foundation. Two years have nearly elapsed, and it is now rumoured that another ad vance is to take place after the next vacation.— More pupils to be admitted, and the annual sum to be GO guineas !!!! If this, Mr. Editor, is not a hard case upon the Foundation pupils, and cal culated to drive them away, I know not what will. I have only to add, that as the first scho lars have spent three years, they ought in justice to be continued on the present terms, viz. -101. per annum. There are two vacation months in each year, and several of the pupils have very long journeys to make ; which of course is at. tended with no little expellee. lam induced to send this to your valuable Paper, as I am con vinced (from a daily perusal) of its liberality, and perfectly agreeing with my own sentiments. If, therefore, you do not disapprove of what I have advanced, I hope you will be induced to insert some part ; and, that some one more able than myself will take up the subject, I remain, Sir, with great respect, A FRIEND OF THE INSTITUTION.

An Ordinary every Day, at Four o'Clu,k. ROYAL. ACADEMY. Mr. GREEN, the professor delivered his second lecture yesterday evening. This lecture was upon the skeleton —and he, with great judgment, avoided descending to a minute and technical detail of the parts which can never be learnt at a public lecture, but spoke only of the purposes of the bones in their general classifications. The only portion which was of general interest was that in which he pointed out the astonishing intelligence which appear ed in the construction of the skeleton—in the complete adapta tion of the bones individually, and of their construction when placed together to the uses for which they were intended. 'ln contemplating the wonderful mechanism by which they are adapted to motion, we may observe, that where motion is not required, they are compact—as the bones of the skull ; where motion is partials and concus sion likely, cartilage is interposed—as in the spine. The articulation, or union of bones in joints, also displays sur prising mechanism. There are three different sorts : Ist, the ball and socket, which admit of the most extensive and va ried movements of all mechanical contrivances ; hence these joints are placed where the limbs are joined with the trunk—as the shoulders anti hips ; 2d, the hinge joint, admitting of mo tion in one direction only, preci se ly like a hinge—as at the elbow and knee ; and lastly, the sliding joint —as at the wrist and ankle. The economy of the spine is also admirable; we may observe that it curves outwards to allow room for the heart, lungs, &c., and becomes concave immediately below, for the purpose of supporting their weight. It also has a tendency to concave above (in the neck), to keep the head forwards, and poised in the centre of gravity, which is also admirably ' preserved through the spine, though its form resembles an italic s. The mass of ribs, &c. called thorax, resemble a cone in the skeleton ; they are convex outwards to afford strength, and concave inwards to give room. The lower edge of each of the ribs is also turned outwards, that in respiration ' the flat side may always he presented to the intestines. Between the ilium bones, which form ` what is comm on ly ca ll e d t h e h ips, and to the back, is placed a mass of hones, precisely 'like a wedge, to receive the weight of the spine ; to this mass is at tached the as cocygis, which is the tail in animals, though in man it is very small. In no part of the human skeleton is the distinction between the sexes so plainly discerned as in the pelvis, and the economy of nature here is wonderful ; this part in the skeleton of a man being so truly adapted by its thick ness, firmness in its . junctions, and smallness of its apertures, for stability, strength, and agility, and in the female by its pre cisely contrary properties for the purposes of parturition, which gives that peculiar character which we admire as beauty to the general female form. The Professor exhibited specimens of them both. . GENEUAL LAFAYETTE.--Genpral LAFAYETTE, his return. Th e town of from being the'' nation's g ues t" i n A merica, has of course obtained additional att ent i o Firth- place, has testifi e d i ts pride at attention from hi s rymen since connected hit a citiz en w h om a peat b c ß o er u iiio i l i gu t people have so honoured, by repeating the treat ment which he there received. It is stated in a French Paper of the 22d instant, that the chief inhabitants of that town had given a grand enter tainment to celebrate the General's return, in which the greatest patriotism and the greatest zeal for liberty were cmaabined, with their admira tion of Lafayette's principles and character. • A song of the ptipular poet, de Beranger, entitled Lafiviette in America, was sung, and several-po pular toasts were drank, among which Washing ton and Bolivar were not forgotten.

Eiwron—Connected with the subject of Machinery, and its relative advantages and disadvantages as applied to the manual arts, discussed in a former Paper, I next submit the question, whether it is in the first place, a part of good policy to allow the free and Un restricted exportation of steam-engines and other machines, particularly in the case of such as are desittned for manufactures, which may either di rectly, or indirectly, interfere with our commer cial interests abroad ? The orders at. this time executing in several of our large manufacturing towns for steam-machinery for exportation seems to urge the question with peculiar force, since it may be eventually and seriously detrimental to our commerce, and as probably found so to be when it will be too late to makeinjunctions to the contrary. The profits resulting to a few English mechanists from the sale of these articles cannot be placed in competition with the loss of far greater advantages to the country ? nor can such a partial interest be of any long duration, for when our English manufactured machines are set up in foreign establishments, they will soon be imitated and multiplied, and directed to all the purposes they are applied to here in Eng land; and then farewell to such orders, and to the demands for the articles of manufacture ! - It may be replied, that it would be next to im possible to prevent the means of communicating the knowledge and construction of the newest and best inventions of the kind, since the trans mission of drawings, and descriptions, and models is so easy to effect, and so difficult to suppress; and consequently, any prohibition to the con trary would be to no manner of purpose. But to this, I answer, that our continental neighbours had much better be left to their own exertion and industry, whose artists are not wanting for skill, but our best and most perfect engines are models of the completest kind, when they will soon furnish themselves ; why then should we accelerate their improvement to our own disad vantage, and for - the paltry consideration of the sale of a few machines, faciliate the ruin of our foreign trade in branches of manufacture, where we for the present reap the advailtage ? In the second place, Mr. Editor, I would sub mit the other part of the question, whether, it is expedient to allow of the free and unrestricted exportation of the said engines for our infant Colonies in America, New Holland, Van Die men's Land, South 'Africa, &c., and herein also I will include all kinds of newly invented machines and implements used in agriculture for the facilitating the labours of the husbandman in har rowing, sowing, thrashing., grinding, &c. &c. all which contrivances are designed for the re duction of expenses and honest labour, and which in new colonies can be productive of little less than fraud and idleness, and where their in troduction will eventually produce both these evils, in the demoralization of the labouring classes, and the pernicious gains ola few wealthy proprietors. 'Where there is no want of land, and leisure enough ; a small and limited popula tion had much better be left to their own gradual course of improvement, and they will in sufficient time discover their own facilities. It is to the common interest, both to the parent country and to those new settlers, to have them duly provided for' in the first instance with useful implements of all descriptions for the cultivation of land, building of habitations, &c. but it is not therefore neces sary that they should be supplied with artificial helps and inventions which only tend to ener vate a hardy race, and instead of promoting - dustry and good le,bits, contribute to dissolute life, sharping, knavery, and every species of fraud and vice. We see occasionally machines of the above description made for exportation, and some of such a dangerous construction that they ap., pear rather to be designed for the mutilation of limbs and the endangerment of life itself, than for the purpose they describe. Consi dering the ignorance and incaution of those who work them, and the many accidents that. ensue in the use, it is surprising that the makers - have not the precaution to furnish thesis with 'guards against accident. If We go into a, factory where these machines are made, or stand for. sale, their very appearance is that of so many engines of torture, rack-work, fly-wheels, cranks, revolving knives, prongs, sharp pointed hooks,, &c. It were to be touch wished, that the So ciety of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, whose admirable plans have so well succeeded to the benefit of the nation at large, would more especially extend their patronage to such inven tions only, which, while they are adjudged to answer the intended purpose, do" also guard against accident, mutilation of limbs and the dan ger of life. I beg to be excused for the digres sion, hut it serves to add to my argument that IQ newly formed Colonies, where hospitals are not to be found everywhere, nor surgeons neither, some restraining' laws should prevemt the intro dnetion of any dangerous machinery ; and wood might to he preferred to iron in plough frames,, and a hundred other'articles; iron and iron works ought to be avoided as much as possible from adrnision in the Colonies, it is the maul and hammcr that grinds all to dust! Sir, yours respectfully, X.Y.Z.
