Ma. EDrToR As reporter of the current
events of the day. feel should not perform
my duty with fidelity, should neglect to in
form you of the intellectua treat which our ci.
tizens have been enjoying during the week that
is past. refer to course of lectures deliy-
cred by DIR. Harvey, graduate of the Univer-
sity at Philadelphia, upon the subject of Anato-
my and Physiology. DIR. Harvey came among
US an utter stranger, and although he possessed
the bearing of a true gentleman, yet we have
been SO often and SO merclessly humbugged, we
concluded, asa matter Of course, we were fated
to become the verdant victims of another SELL
This, however, am proud to say, has not
been the case. I was not SO fortunate as to
hear the FIRST two lectures, and after hearing
him. | do regret exceedingly that missed any
of them. The lectures, as far as heard them,
embraced the subjects of respiration, the lungs
and their diseases,-in considering which he
enlarged upon the subject Of ventilation, par
ticularIy to sleeping apartnents,--- heart and
iis diseases; diet, digestion, the digestive or
gans and the effects oftobacco upon them and
upon the whole system; with few general
rules which, if strictly adhered TO. must result
in the cure of the most inveterats chewer or
smoker. Under the head of diet he took
short but philosophical view of tile hobby of
the Grahamites. One afternoon was set apart
for the ladies exclusively. This lecture was
well attended and very favorably commented
upon, and by these who attended haye been in.
formed the lecture was instructive Ia the highest
degree, and exhibited most intimate acqnain-
lance with the subject treated. The last night
vas set apart for the gentlemen.
This lecture was treated in masterly man
ner, and, | hesitate not TO say. it was wcrth
more than the admission 10 the whole course.
Ii was one of the most powerful sermons sganst
vice that have ever been permitted to hear
and in this last remark ! but repeat the opinion
Of the many who composed his audience.
The pastors of the several churches were in
attsndancs, and are lavish in their praises.--
The Doctors style is most engaging. II is con-
versational. l.perfeclly easy and free from all Pc
dantry, gracefully interspersed with illustrative
anecdotes and rich vein Of hnmor. which pre-
vents one. in spite Of himself, notwithstanding
the length of time occupied, frem getting
weary or disinterestsd. His language is Of the
chastsst; there being nothing either in his pub
lie or private lectures to offend the most fas-
tidious.
la word, during hiG sojourn among us, DR..
Harvey has shown himself ever inch a gentle
man; snd his lectures have displayed most
thorough acquaintance with this beautiful and
important science, and he certainly deserves
the esteem and patronage of sll mankind.
With all my heart | wish him success, and
that be may ere long favor the citizens Of Do

The WHEAT CROP. Cleveland
Herald ventures the following pre-.
dictiun about the prospective move
ment of Wheat: "From every sec
tion of the country bordering upon
the Lake regions comes the joyful
news of q bountiful harvest. The
crop Of wheat in Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, New York and Canada
West, is unprecedentedly large
We make the following estimates
of the wheat crop, which estimate.
40 far as the Lake Michigan ports
are concerned, is based on the full
reports of previous years. For
Lake Erie ports the estimate is
made from the movement already
commenced, and from the exports
Of previous years. For Canada
West the estimate is based TN the
movement from Toronto from Sep
TENDER LIST, 1859, to close of navi
CATION Toronto having exported
IN that time 10 the United States
something over 100000 bushels Of
wheat. We think the estimates
are all less than what the actual
movement will be. IL they are,
and prices rule high for that por-
ton Of the crop first moved, heavy
losses must fall upon the operators
who purchase at high rates for, as
the movement increases in volume,
the price must continually de-
