THE NATIONAL INSTITUTION.

The President of the United States, and the
Post Master General, accompanied by member
of the Society, visited the National Institution,
and its collection, on Saturday last.
The President, we understand, was surprised,
like most new visiers, to find collection so
comprehensive and complete, gathered together
in such perfect order, in time so brief as that in
which il is known this Institution has had ex-
stence. The magnificent hall of the Patent
office, having been, in part, temporarily loaned
to the Society they have deposited in its eastern
half, the various collections of minerals, plants,
birds, shells, animals, paintings, and other Curl
osities with which they have been generously
entrusted. We have heard the most distin-
gushed of American naturaIists declare, that
there are no collections of plants, and geological
specimens, in the United States, more complete
than are those which are deposited with this In
stitution. Through the kindness of the Secreta-
ny Of State, and the Commissioner of Patents in
oaning portion Of this fine hall, and in deposit
ing there also many of the interesting curiosities
belonging to the State Department the enter
prise OF the Institution has been enabled TO pre-
ton, which this metropolis has never before af.
forded Of similar character.
The National Institution has sprung into ex-
istence, with promise Of great success and an
extensive and enduring usefulness Brief as its
existence has been, its progress has been unusu-
ally encouraging. Already it comprehends
among its hundreds Of members, some of the
most learned men of our country, and includes
among its correspondents some Of the most dis
tinguished men Of science abroad Divided into
various departments, having stated meetings pc
riodically, it prosecutes its inquiries with spirit
and success. New discoveries in natural sci
ence, important Improvements in the arts, &c.
are communicated TO it from various quarters OF
the globe. Constant accessions are made TO hs
already extensive museum. Several persons are
kept always employed in opening and preparing
the specimens which are forwarded. The per-
sonal effects of the late James Smihson, and
the almost innumerable collections of plants,
birds, shells, insects, reptiles, Indian manufac-
lures, &C., forwarded TO this country by the
South Sea Exploring Expedition, form part Of
the Society's museum.
Upon the foundation already laid BY the Ma
tional Institution, superstructure may be easily
raised honorable alike to the intelligence and re-
sources of the Union. We are happy that the
President of the United States has thought 1t
worthy of his countenance and patriotism. We
trust the lawmakers, the guardians Of public so
