advantage of the tremendous gale Of wind that was

lectures delivered in this city, and especially this
is Institution in which may be found the very love-
liest OF the young and fair SEX These lectures are
well and fashonably attended. Every Friday after
visiters assemble in the chapel Of the institute
to hear read the Bennettonan compositions, written
by the " "dcmdest" loveest little young ladies of the
city Of Gotham On Monday evening next they have
concert, in which they (the scholars take part).-
OF these fair ones. among the loyliest. are Miss

ry street Miss H*x"e, and H., of Madison street
Miss H, Of Pike street Miss r., of the Rowery;
and Misses r. and B. of Oliver street sand many
others, too numerous to mention" Now, Mr. B.,
how these little fairies have escaped your notice,
when they have been endeavoring to catch it, by
writing their compositions in the style in which you
conduct the Herald, Zone of them even squints to
show her regard for you) is to me riddle and, If
you do not want to hear the verdict of the coroners
Jury over Of their corpusses' Of " Died, from
0thaving been put in the Herald"' you had better
not let this be any longer Stockholders have the
preference Of sending their children and you had
better take share in anticipation of that event, (ef
having chidren,) because if you like to keep those
balls rolling" il is than likely you may be pla-
ced in the situation the "phreno ogist."-
Joe Hoxie is of the head men Of the Institute and
perhaps he may give you share for " aud acquaint
auce sake. Twill give you a description of some of
the sorees of these angels when they occur, and
