LEICESTER LYCEUM.

Mr.. Editor-Last evening attended in Lei
cester a meeting of an Association for Mutual
Improvement in Useful knowledge. The
meeting was opened by lecture On railways.
After giving concise, but highly animated &
interesting view Of the history of internal COM
rnerce. the lecturer entered upon a particular
| description ofraiiways, giving an account of the
different kinds, with their comparative advan-
tages. By the aid of variety of plates and
drawings, he rendered the subject perfectly
Intelligible 10 the whole audience, 10 most OF
whom it must have been principally or entire
ly new. The various illustrations were given
IN so clear and popular manner, as to render
them not less intere sting TO ladies, many Of
whom were present, than to gentlemen whose
| attention is at this time called particularly TO
this subject. The descriptions and illustra-
tons were extremely we'll timed, as there is at
| this period no subject of internal improvement
more deserving TO be generally and thorough
ly investigated and understood than railways.
When the lecture upon railways was closed,
another was~commenced upon electricity
This part of the evenings exercise was render
ed in high degree interesting, and even a.
musing, by variety of brilliant experiments
intended TO Illustrate principles of the science,
which were clearly and happily described, as
well as successfully proved by experiment.
The audience, which was large, after listening
with interest for two hours TO the exercises oil
the evening, retired evidently gratfed with
the reflection that they had attended party
| of pleasure, as well as of rational instruction
and lasting improvement. A VlSITER.

Byway Of illustrating the subject, various
other cases Of the misapplication OF labor might
he suggested. We will take a single CASE
Suppose that portion of our farmers should
represent TO Congress that the cultivation of
the soil had become irksome to them, and that
they had formed plans for digging deeper into
the earth alter the precious metals. Instead
OF procuring those articles from foreign coun-
tTies, by giving in exchange our agricultural
products, let 1T be proposed that we should re-
ly upon our own internal resources for a sup
ply. No doubt enough for our purpose might
be found here. if sufficient labor were bestow-
ed upon the object. In favor of such prof.
ect, the usual arguments might be urged, as in
other cases. 1t is true that the imaginary OF
conventional value of silver ard gold is much
greater than their real or intrinsic value; but
that circumstance cannot affect the question.
Those metals. are made, by common. consent,
Inc representatives of property, or articles Of
consumption, and are convenient as a circuiat-
ing medium. The products of labor are ex-
changed lor them, because they may be again
exchanged Ter others when wanted. The en-,
terprIse cannot be prosecuted, however, with
profit to those who engage in it,. without legis-
latiVe aid. No matter how the encourage
ment is afforded, provided these adventures
are remunerated for their labor. What good
reason can be assigned why this branch OF do
mestic industry should not be encouraged as
well as others? Let it be granted that the
same labor il applied to the cultivation of the
soil would be ten or hundred fold more pro-
ductive; still, ifsthe enterprise should sue
coed, we should be no longer dependent upon
foreign countries for gold and silver. There is
no difference in principle between the case
supposed, and that of any other business which
will not support itself.
The subject wilEhe resumed in future pa
per. PUBLIUS.
