Those WHO have had an opportunity Of
attending .he course of Lectures, now about
10 close, in this Borough, and delivered by
Mr. Joha finch, on the science OF Geology,
&c. have been instructed and Interested
much beyond thcjr previous anticipations'--
In SO concise and SO lucid manner, has be
gone on to unfold to his class, the secrets and
the beauties Of the science; and TO display
to them, feature BY feature, the Internal
structure Of the o,b on which we live, that
he has, in few short weeks, impressed up
on their minds such a general knowledge oi
the subject, as would require months to OBJ
tain, by the common course of study. his
illustrations OF the Classification of fossils;
and his exhibition OF the various specimena,
which he tool, pains to famiiarizc to the
eyes CT his pupils, has likewise given to them
practical idea of Miner alogy, that they
could by no other means acquired Il IS to
be regretted, however, that comparative
few only of our inhabitants, have had the
advantage of these lectures, owing to the fact
that sufficient early publicity was not given
of their commencement, by the proposer.-
Many, thus, were ignorant OF the circum-
stance, who would have otherwise ayaied
themselves Of so favorable an opportunity
to become acquainted, with the too little
known geological arcana of our Globe.


We could wish, on this account, that Mr..
Finch would repeat his course of Lectures
in this Borough. Another Glass; it is pre-
sumed, would be readily formed; and the
youth of both sexes in our town. (the vicini-
tv of which is fertile in Mineral productiens)
would, by storing their minds with knowl-
edge of this interesting science, be capable
Of receiving increased pleasure from their
rides and their rambles through the country
