POLYTECHNIC INSITUTION.

The proprietors of the Polytechnic Institution are making
new exertions for the public amusement. They have effected
an engagement with hlr. James Russell, long and favour-
ably known to the playgoers of the metropolis, to give a
series of Shaksperian readings three days in the week, on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, at half-past iree
o'clock; each lecture to be limited to three quarters of an
hour. The first reading took place yesterday, and consisted
of selections from the Merchant of Venice. Three scenes
were given. The first, where Bassanio applies to Antonio
for his assistance to enable him to try his fortune with
Portia ; then that with Shylock, when applying to
him to grant the loan on Antonio's security ; and,
thirdly, the trial scene. Mr. Russell accom-
plished his task with much ability and judgment.
Ile kept the characters perfectly distinct, and varied
the intonations of his voice to suit the different
speakers. The deep passion of revenge, indulged in
by the merciless Shylock, was well expressed; his
exultation when, as he conceived the unfor!unate merchant

We can strongly
recommend our readers themselves of the oppor-

The late lamented Mr. Youatt, in one of his ora-
tions to the members of the Veterinary College, observes—
"That by the improvements in modern chemistry, the
medical profession are enabled successfully to treat diseases
which were previously supposed IL; not within the reach of
medicine." The truth has been inanirested for many years,
but in no instance of greater importance to TTIIIFI kind than by
the discovery of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills.
M ETROFOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM.—
On Monday evening last, the sixth annnivers.ary of the
Auxiliaries of this excellent Institution was celebrated by a
supper at the King's Arms Tavern, Roils-buildings, Fetter-
lane, when about sixty gentlemen partook of an entertain-
ment, which was served up in a manner which reflected great
credit to the worthy landlord, Mr. Eardley. Mr. Dean presided
as Chairman, and Mr. Porter (the respected host of the John
of Jerusalem, Clerkenwell ) ofliciat ed as Deputy, and were
