LECTURES ON PHYSIOLOGY AND CORSET WEARING.
DIR. Sleigh this evening delivers lecture on Physo-
logy before one Of the societies attached to the Unver
sity He will intersperse his lectures with some OBJ
servaons on the effect on health of the practice Of
wearing tight cersets
For many years. the salons, promenades and draw
ing rooms, have been crowded with beautiful young
creatures of the exquisite symmetry of figure. II
was also well known that the Bills of Mortality exh-
bited an awful list under the head of Consumption,
but was known that the wearing of tight corsets
had any philosophical connection with the Bills of
Mortality ill very recently. discovery was recently
made TO this effect and light in conjunction with
continuation of the popular lecture Physiology, DIR.
Sleigh gentleman of great science and experience,
intends to give full and particular discourse on the
subject
On Thursday evening, we understand, the Doctor
closed his lectures Indelfy in the Mulberry street
Church. The ssse;nbIage was highly respectable and
after he had finished the persons present formed them
selves into public meeting, and passed several per-
tnent resolutions thanking the Doctor for the talent
and ability with which he had defended the truths of
Christianity against the sophistry OF lnhdehy The
In6des in the discussions, are generally cons
dered beat. Both Mr.. Purser and Mr.. Vale gave out
the former from want of matter, the latter from want
of1enper. We trust that hereafter no more of these
discussions will be got up. Leave the lnidels to them
selves and to their Judas avorite, Orgen Bachelor,
who appears to be the only Christian, as he still has
the impudence to call himself who ever received a
certificate from their chief priest extract OF which is
follows:-
"Mr. Bachelor :-Sir-As far the In6dels are con-
n.a.t IN yQur
honesty, sc. sc. BENZ. OFTEN.
After such an endorsement from the very Prime of
In6del Bachelors Christian Magazine" ought 10 sell
as rapidly as the little lively HERALD. Will it?

Some time ago, the City Hotel being frequently incom-
NODDED by the gas failing, and being charged the same
amount as If they had been well served determined to
set trap and catch the gentlemen who have charge OF
that concern. Accordingly, they burned oil for one
month, and ne gas. At the expiration Of the month,
the gas measurer round examined the gasometer
very attentively, and made out a bill amounting to
about five dollars than for the previous month,
in which they had burned gas constantly. Such
thing was tamey be borne and the keeper OF the
hotel threatened TO make public disclosure. Why
was il not done! Do, Mr.. Willard, let have the
particulars in confidence?
FROM THE SoUrH.-General Scott arrived at St.
Augustine on the 9TH instant escorted by ITO regulars
The whole country to the southwark of ST. Augustine
was in possession OF the Indians, and from the
rous fires SEEM it supposed they were burning the
plantations. The volunteers at ST. Augustine are in
6ne spirits, but they have not enough to eat.
