LYCEUM LECTURES.

AT the solicitation Of a large number of
the members of The Lyceum, Mr.. NEWTON
has been prevailed ON to continue his course
on Phrenology and Mesmerism. His second
Lecture will accordingly be. delivered on
Saturday evening, next, after the Regular
Lecture is finished.
In order that proper time may be afforded
for the delivery of tro Lectures, on the same
evening, !; is very necessary that the Ly-
ceum should open early, and the citizens are
therefore urged to meet promptly at a quar-
Ter before seven, that the first Lecture may
begin at seven o'clock precisely. 1t is hop
ed that all who intend being present at the
Lectures will remember this notice, as the
interruption caused by persons coming in af
Ter the Lectures have begun, has heretofore
proved a serious inconvenience.
In justice to Mr.. Newton, il should be
stated that his first Lecture gave very greai
satisfaction 10 all who were present, and tha
"a strong feeling of disappointment was man
ifesled hy many-of the members, when
through some misunderstanding on the par
OF the mana gers, was announced that III,
course would not be continued.

SHIP BUILDING on THE OHIo.--The Gin
cinnati Atlas of Monday says:
sThe city was thrown into a state of ex-
element on Saturday morning; by the ap-
pearance of a square rugged ~vesselat anchor
in the stream, near the foot of Ludlow street;
and crowds of persons have been focking to
the levee ever since, to get a sight Of the
strange looking craft, which proved to be the
MUsKINGUM from Marietta, and bound for
her future home on the Atlantic.
"The M. is about $50 tons burthen-bar-
que rugged and in every respect a staunch,
well built vessel. She has all her yards "a
cross and standing rigging set. Her sails
will not be bent until she is ready to depart
from New Orleans. She is owned by the
Messrs. Nye and others of Marietta; at
which place she was bailt, under the direc-
ton of a first rate ship builder from Portland,
Maine. She is intended for the Portland
trade, but it will be seen by our advertising
columns that the owners are willing 10 char
Ter her for any Of The Atlantic Ports, either
in the u. S. or Europe.
ssFVe hope that some of our enterprising
merchants viii give her a cargo for Liverpool,
for the sake of opening a trade directly with
Cincinnati; and England

The editor of The N. Orleans Tropic, is not
at all complimentary TO the members of the
State Convention, TO amend the Constitution
now in Session in that city. Abiding TO
the speech-making, of which it seems there
is entirely too much, he says:
ga good deal of superfluous gas was lei
off yesterday as usual"
The same might be said of Congress any
day in the week. The member from the

than his share ofthe gas. Pity it is not ofthe

LATEST NEWS.-We are indebted TO
our friend McNALL for a Cincinnati paper
Of Monday.
From this paper the (the Daily Atlas we
learn that the Post Office Bill as amended
has passed the House of Representatives,
and if the Senate c goes into operation
on the first of July next. 1t fixes the rates
of postage on single letters at 5 cents for all
distances not exceeding 300 miles, and for
all distances over 300 miles 10 cents. All
letters, not exceeding haitian ounce in weight
are considered as single letters; and every
additional weight of half an ounce, or less,
is to be charged with additional single post
age. The bill having been amended, must,
of course, be sent TO the Senate for concur
renee.
The following account of the final pas
sage of the bill through the House, we take
from the Baltimore Patriot: a3s
