EPThe Lecture of SYLVESTER GRAHAM AT the
| Opera House last evening, on Dancing, was attcn-
ded by small but very select audience, whose IN
eres in the subject well rs in the Speaker was
| strong enough to induce them to brave the dark
ness and the storm Our limits will not allow us 10
give a report or an abstract OF the Lecture
Mr. Graham conended, and presented many inge-
NOUS arguments 10 show, that dancing was not only
an innocent and healthful recreation but practice
in accordance with the laws of nature and perfectly
consistent with the most elevated standard of NOR
ais and religion. The objections usually urged
against it. he maintained, were founded in ignorance
of mans nature, or in distorted views of the religious
sentiment. AS Moralist and q Christian no less
than as q Psychologist, he recommended dancing in
the strongest terms, and would be glad to it in
1roduced in every family and social circle. Carried
to excess, pursuedat improper times or places, 1t
was no doubt injurious; but under proper regula-
tons its tendency to promote health and cheer
fness and refine and develop the social affections.

A CAUTION TO THE LADlEs.-A fashionable young
ady in Maine whose panalettcs supplied what was
wanting in the length OF her irock skirt, was lined
by magistrate SIS and costs, under the act prohlbl-
ting females from uea1anS mems attire. AM lraV
It's well for certain boarding and day schools in
this city, that their pupils do not come under the
cognzance of this Puritan magistrate. BY the way,
what would be the harm if the ladies, before going
the whole" for new fashion, should take trouble TO
ascertain how it strikes the eye of the udclOus pOr
ton of the other sex? We venture to say that the
custom alluded to does fail to offend the taste of
nine tenhs of the gentlemen, both young and old.

Dr.. LAMBERT's LEcruREs.-When this gentle
man commenced his lectures last week. he had TO
contend against the prejudices of much deceived
and acknowledged public, and the consequence
was a poor attendance for the first lectures
He has. however so far succeeded in awakening
public attention to the importance OF his subject
and has treated it so skiliully, to convince all not
only of his own ability, but OF the real value of the
information impaired His fourth lecture was de,
livered to crowded house, and was received with
grea, appreciation and it is only at the close OF the
course that the value of these lectures has been dis
covered. He has been requested TO redelver the
course and we hope he will consent 10 DO so Tor hls
own sake and as a matter of justice 10 those who
desire now to obtain all the information OF the whole
series The fifth and concluding lecture OF the pre-
sent course treating Of consumption, will be delv
cred in the Society Library Rooms this evening"
