LITERARY AND Musical. INSTITUTION. —The
opening lecture of the present session in connection
with this institution, was delivered on Tuesday
evening last, by Mr. Joseph Simpson. of Edgeware,
near London (and late librarian of the Islington
Literary and Scientific Society.) The subject
proved a mod instructive one to the large and re-
spectable audience, it being that of " Locomotion.
or travelling in our forefathers' style and our own."
The chair was taken by the Rev. Henry Levis, of
Woolbridge. At the conclusion of the lecture a vote
of thanks was duly accorded to Mr. Simpson by the
rev, chairman, who, at the same time, passed a high
eulogium on the manlier in which the evening's enter-
tainments were conducted. Ile expressed an
opinion that nothing could be better for mutual
improvement than "instruction combined with
amusement." The lecture was interesting and in-
structive, and the music enlivening and amusing,
and he was glad to find that the institution was so
well supported. The Rev. A. Seymer, rector of
Shroton, then proposed a vote of thanks to the
chairman. and desired also to join him in expressing
his satisfaction with the able manner in which Mr.
Simpson had delivered his lecture. Miss Terry
Short presided at the harmonintu, and the band of
the institution performed before and after the
lecture.
