POLYTECHNIC INSITUTION.
The proprietors of the Polytechnic Institution are making
new exertions for the public amusement. They have effected
an engagement with Mr. 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 three
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.
He kept the characters perfectly distinct, and varied
the intonations of his voice to suit the different
speakers. The deep passion of revenge, indulged
hisi
by the merciless Shylock,
exultation when, as he conceiv.edwaeht e wuenlflorteuxnFitree!Bniejchant
was in his power, and his praises
.of the wise young judge,
were admirably given. The beautiful address of Portia, too,
when calling on the Jew to show mercy, was well delivered.
The readings were listened to with much attention by the
audience, and there were repeated bursts of applause, which
was unanimously given
at the conclusion. We can strongly
recommend our readers to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity thus afforded by the enterprising managers.

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 as not within the reach of
medicine." The truth has been manifested for many years,
but in no instance of greater importance to mankind than by
the discovery of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills.
METROPOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM.--
On Monday evening last, the sixth annniversary of the
Auxiliaries of this excellent Institution was celebrated by a
supper at the King's Arms Tavern, Rolls-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 the J h
of a
of Jerusalem, Clerkenwell ) officiated as Deputy, and were sup-
ported, among others, by the following influential
members
of the Society: Messrs. Bowles, Buckland, M‘Ceraibgehrst
Chubb, Gilbert, Hopkins, Bell, and Wild. After the cloth'
had been drawn, the Chairman proposed the health of " Her
Majesty, the Duchess of Kent, and the rest of the Royal
Family," which was received with demonstrations of respect ;
after which, Mr. Buckland sang an appropriate song. The
Chairman then, in a few remarks, gave "Success to the
Metropolitan Benefit Societies'Asylum," which was greeted
with much applause. This toast was acknowledged by Mr.
Bowles, in an interesting exposition of the rise and progress
of the Institution, which
was listened to with great attention,
and warmly applauded. At its close, the healths of Lord
Robert Grosvenor and Viscount Ebrington (who is to Pre-
side as Chairman of the Parent Society at the dinner in
May) were severally given, and acknowledged, on the part
of their Lordships, in a very neat speech, by Mr. Buckland.
The Chairman, in proposing the health of the Committee,
spoke of the great exertions they had made in furthering the
interests of the Society. Mr. Chubb, on behalf of himself
and colleagues, returned thanks. The healths of Mr. Gilbert,
Mr. Cole, the Secretary, Mr. Eardley, the Chairman, and
Deputy were afterwards given, and respectively acknowledged,
and the party broke up at a ate hour, evidently much grati-
fied by the evening's proceedings.
