I-Tlt gives us pleasure to inform our rca'
ders that the lecture on the Law of Human
Progress" which was delivered in this town
las, winler, by CHARLES SrMsrR, Esq., is now
in press and will be published in few days.
We should think that it might have an extern
sive sale here, as it was made so noted by the
famous Sumner Controversy, which is yet
fresh in the minds Of our readers. 1t was
certainly one of the ablcst lectures which was
delivered here during the winter, and we have
a strong desire to read it, and ponder its senti-
men,s more carefully than we possibly could
do while listening 10 its delivery. We differed
from the author in eome Of his doctrines, as
we understood them, as we stated a, the time /;
and this only makes us the more anxious to
examine the lecture more carefully. After
reading, we shall have something more TO say
on the subj ct. II will be for sale at the book
stores in towr, in few days.

hardly necessary to say anything IN favor OF

larly those who visit fashionable watering
places, know what The Ocean House is. 1t
will always be the great centre of attraction
in Newport during the summer, from It's ex-
tent, the perfection OF its internal arrangements
its delightful location, the excellent manner in
which il is kept, and the crowd OF most fash
ionable people who gather there. 1t is also
by far ilhe most commodious and extensive
establishment in Town. The reputation OF
its proprietor, John G. Weaver, Esq, is

CHRISTOPHER f. ROBBINS, Sec'ry.

Hardly day passes that we are not re-
quested by some one to speak of the cond lei
of certain young men and boys, during the
evening, in the streets. They practice all
manner of tricks, which are disgraceinl in the
extreme, and yet there is no power and no
authority to prevent it, A gentleman inform
ed US yesterday that he had quantity of oil
thrown upon his cloak few evenings since,
by souc Of these young rascals. 1t is COM
mon thing for females to be nsulcd evenings,
not perhaps 10 an alarming extent, but yet, in
variety Of ways which ought not to be per-
mi,ted, and it is quite time that a remedy was
found for the evil We know that il is almos,
useless TO appeal to any municipal power foi
redress or removal of the grievance; the
result will be that some Of these rogues will
fall into the hands Of outraged persons direct
ly, and will probably receive such severe and
violent punishment, as will leave an impress
sion on their minds not Of the most pleasan,
character.
