mencing on Thursday evening, of next week,
Jan. 5th,) continue the 7th, and concluding on
the 9Th These Lectures will consider primarily
the nature and kinds of Alimen, best adapted to
the Human Systemic the preservation of Health,
and the prolongation of Life, including mental
with bodily yigcr. But, though primarily Physi-
cal, it will be found that they contemplate Intel
lectual results-tbe developement and strength Of
the moral and spiritual being. No other man is
so well qualified by profound research as well as
natural ability to discuss this subject as is Sylves

over his teachings could be brought to listen to

Lectures will be listened to by large audiences.

not hearing last evening the Lecture which they

CHARLES O'CoSNoR, Esq. 1t is due 10 the Di-
rectors to state the fact that the fault is in no
spect theirs. They had secured Mr. O'C.'s accept
ance of their invitation to lecture before they
nounced him in their programme, and they declined
TO excuse him from the performance of the duty
for which they at least stood pledged to the pur-
chasers Of their tickets when applied to for that
purpose, not feeling authorized to do otherwise.

be released not on indis position, but on the pres
sure of other duties.
