LECTURES ON PHYsIoLoGY-On Saturday evening
DIR. Sleigh delivered an Introductory lecture on Ply
sioogy before the Euclean Society of the New York
University. TWAS attended by of the fashion
able and respectable audiences that we ever saw ga
ihered together such occasion The hall of the
Society, which measures large the original room
ofTammany Hall, was crammed with beauty, intelli J.
gence and fashion, at an early hour.
We can hardly speak in adequate terms of the elo-
quence, beauty science, and deep interest displayed
throughout the course of his lecture by Dr. Sleigh
Divested of the mysterious and techncal terms of
medical science, he clothed his subject with all the
graces of language, the beauties of imagination the
richness of fancy, and the dslicacies of wit and hu-
After several general observations of great force
and beauty the eloquent lecturer launched forth upon
the circulation of the blood beginning at its source aud
spring-the heart He announced TO the ladies' with
much aairete-" Ladies, you will be very much sur

but il is, and will prove it you" Smiles of as
radiated the female audience, probably arising
from the consciousness that in another sense, instead
of TWO, some can sport dozen hearts. The Doc tor
proceeded with gravity, and proved his assertion most
concusively.

resumed the exercise Of mis- profession in which he is
distinguished he will abandon entirely these
public religious discussions which, instead of doing any
good, appear TO produce nothing but ill WILL SANDER

and Penitentary in consequence of breaking open the
seals of other mems letters, and stealing other mems

We learn that Doctor Sleigh will continue his highly
interesting lectures Physiology. He is one of the
best and most accomplished lecturers ever heard
fully equal to Doctor Pattison, of Jefferson College,
Philadelphia.

ALBANY, January %, 1886.
The business of both Houses of the Legislature yes-
terday was very dull. The vivacity of most of the
members seems to have evaporated.
Yesterday afternoon the Special Message arrived by
the express of the Evening Journal. There being no
BENZ. II. Day in this city hook IT, the express went
direct to the place of its destination The good people
of Albany are quite delighted with it. The "party'
are applauding it the Skies and have ordered grand
supper on the strength of it. When Gov. Marcy read
the Message it is said he animated that he took
fifteen pnches of snuff in the space of FIVE minutes and
cracked both glasses of his green spccracles 1t was
thought he would go into fits.
The debate on the bill for the relief of the city of
New York" was resumed in the Assembly, this MORN
ing Mr. Romeyn, the member from Ulster, (wh o said
the other day that the late fire Messxg) received
in style from Messrs Sbley and Marvin who sified
his arguments to such degree to make him look
quite ridiculous. Mr.. Romeyn has opposed all the
bills IN whatever shape, for the relief of your city,
lie is fond OF hearing himself TALK but the way he re-
ceTed 1t this morning was quite charming. Various
amendments were offered to the BILL but after stormy
debate the bill was passed the first time.
Petitions for the incorporation of banks keep pouring
IN with their usual profusion. There is no knowing
when these applications will end.

Of New York respecting the alteration Of the law in re-
tation to the weighing of merchandise.
The weather is beautifully clear and moderate with
al. An Assembly was held the other day at Stanwix
Hail. Ii was numerousy attended Jewels and dia-
monds were displayed with elegant profusion. Many
OF the members of the Legislature observed to be
very thoughtful next morning. They had undoubtedly

were about to sell il in of the receiving shops in
