Peas! Itseuiliou—The first of . series of Readiep
In connection with the Literary and Scientific Instita-
Ron :ha gime at the Assembly Rooms on Thursday
evening, and the result must have been highly seas'
factory to the committee. The realm was crowded in
every part, and mium were compelled to go away dis-
appointed. The chair was taken by Liautenant-Ovneral
Buckley, MP., who expressed his satisfiction at seeing
so many present. Penny readings were a new feature in
connection with the iociety, but it was thought by
the committee that many young men hying in the city,
who could not afford to pay Is. to heats lecture, would
gladly avail themselves of mob a cheep mode of inetruc-
on and amusement, and be was glad to see that such
was the case. (Cheers.) The readies' oonimenoed with
sehictions from Tennyson's Enoch Arden, by the Rev.
Eio ilwayne, who mplained that the short time
allowed to eildh reader necessarily compelled him either
to take one single portion of the poem, to the exclusion
of the remainder, or else to mid each portion, no
would give the aedienee • general octll.. Of %e whole.
The rev. gentleman then read,in a very pleasing manner,
tbe early love of Arden, his marriage, first years of
happiness; then his accident and en mat leaving
home, the events which occurred daring his abeeeect, his
wife's second marriage, end subsequent misery. This
WAS followed by Bpofforth's glee—" Come bounteous
Map" by Meats. Brine, Large, Colbourn., Ingram,
and Voimiy. Mt. B. R. Atkins followed, with Hood's 1
admirable satins on the Love of Ovid, in which
Miss Skim:ma's golden leg is introduced, Mr. 1
Atkinp very justly pointing oat, in a few intrednetery
remarks, that Hood must not be considered as merely
• satirist, but its a, writer who tangbt great moral
lemma. "Return Meet Dots," by fiLlford limith, was
zaiszsetly given by the glee singly.. This shia um-
* the trial some in the Merchant of WetliCAL
recited by Mr. Edmund Rogers, whims personation of
the various characters wee loudly aWanded, the only
drawback being that many in the back pert of the room
could not hear but little of what that gentleman said.
r. Brine then sang, "The Old Hew, and the Old
Tree," which called forth • rapturous moors. This
young gentleman, who Is, we believe, one of the
Cathedral choir, pmemere a very sweet alto votes, and
Is evidently endowed" with first-rate inimical talents.
"The Milkmaid's' Btowys".ll rem Ingoldeby's Legends,
provoked much Laughter, being wall read * Mr. W.
Buckeli Bishv'e gee, "Sleep; Oen* Lady," followed
by the National Anthem, concluded the entertainment.

singers brought the proceedings to a close.
