The Treasurer R. B. Mmtun, Esq. reported
that his receipts thus far amounted to s4loO,32,
and the appropriations made by the Society
amounted $4,000.
The Importance of the foregoing results can
only be justly appreciated in connection with
the peculiar circumstances under which they
have been produced. 1t will be seen that the
returns are incomplete, and embrace the opera
tions of only the small part of month; that the
mechanism of a new organization was to be set
in motion by persons unacqualnted with its
structure, and the numerous difficulties which are
ever inseparable from new enterprise, to be en-
countered. With these disadvantages, high
praise is certainly due to the District Committees
and Visitors, through whose devotedness and
efficiency SO much for the relief of the destitute
and suffering has already been accomplished,
whilst the results afford the most encouraging
presages of the future usefulness and success of
the Association.
IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN THE FINE ARTS.-A
meeting was held last evening at the residence

within few weeks; and the plan proposed is to
take individual subscriptions for the Gallery at
one dollar each, for which sum each subscriber
receives certificate Of life membership. This
Collection being secured it will not be difficult to
make additions; and in the course of few years
we may hope to see Gallery of Paintings in the
City of New York which will be as creditable to
the iberaty as to the taste of the citizens of this
wealthy Metropolis.

PROF. GoURAUD's New CLAsSES.-Probably the
history Of teaching in this country does not present
parallel 10 the success of Gouraud in the number
of pupils gathered in his classes. The class which
has now nearly finished its course numbers fourteen
hundred, and the new day and evening classes al
ready exceed fre hundred, so that the great union
Lecture at the Tabernacle on Saturday fortnight,
will exhibit the unprecedented occasion of class
of tro thousand persons, containing some Of our
first men, eminent in the learned professions as
we'll as merchants and scientific savans, and many
ladies', who seem to have taken an unusual interest
in this system.
The mere fact that Gouraud has given full salts
faction 10 the first class, land that he has is best
evidenced by the circumstance that the new classes
have, with few exceptions, been urged TO join by
members of the old one) is better argument in ti-
vor of his system than any other which can be ad-
duced. The present class will probably exceed six
hundred, us the list Of subscribers remains open
during to-day, and this will be the last opportunity
OF acquiring the system under the Professors tut
ton. After the close of this course he goes at
to Philadelphia and Boston.
