REV MIR. BoLLEs' LEcTURE.-The Micro
scope and Animal Life was the subject of Rev.
Mr. Bollcs lecture last evening, and although
the weather was exceedingly cold there was
quite large audience present to witness the
beautiful pictures and listen to the lecturers
clear and instructive explanations, which, by
the way, were interspersed with humorous di-
gressions and frequent sparkles of wit. First
exhibiting the remains of the lowest orders OF
animal life found in the stones of the Egyptian
desert he proceeded to consideration OF the
Infusorin, sponges, &C.; next to the branches
recognized as sea .fowers polyps and jelly
fishes, which are varying forms of the same
life. Mollusks and the structure of shells form
ed the next division of the lecture. Some ele-
giant preparations of shells made by Mr.. g. B.
Fuller of this city, and Edwin Bicknell of Sa-
lem, were introduced to illustrate the latter
topic A few of the lower or degraded forms
of insect life were shown, the parasites thai
attach to dried fruits, and annoy mankind by
their too close familiarity, and attach them
selves to the domestic animals; and at the same
time the methods by which insects live and the
first stages of this species OF life were explain
ed. After this some Of the microscopic views
OF paftS IN the Structure VI tne hiSncI aniiiais
were presented-human and reptile blood fish
scales, feathers, boots, and the structure and
Office of bones.
The next lecture, which it is promised will
be the most brilliant of the course, will be on
The Polariscope and the Speetroscope as ap-
piled to the Microscope.
The Notwithstanding the
cold weather of last evening City Hall was
well filled by highly satisfactory audience, on
the occasion of the bringing out of the opera OF

characterized the performance. Without wish
ing to be invidous, we can hardly fail to notice
the correct singing of Misses Chandler ant
Ayers, Mrs Pillsbury and Messrs Thomas
Dayey and Stanwood while the chorus wal
