INSTITUTE. are gra'ifed TO perceive that the
Managers Of the Geological Institute have surrender
ed the whole of its receipts Monday next, for the
benefit of Mr.. Van Amburgh the celebrated and de-
served keeper of the lions. He has provided unusual
and truly interesting exhibitions for the occasion
and will doubtless be patronzed by many thousands
of citizens and their families. At twelve four,
eight, and nine O'clock he takes child and a young
lamb with him into the den of the lions, and hrusts
his naked arm bathed in newly drawn blood, into
these terrific creatures mouths. No other man has
ever attempted this extraordinary exploit although

illumination, which fills all the animals with terror,
will be extremely sublime. Mr. Van Ambnrgh is

to the study of these animals and he is very gen
tlemanly and deserving young man. We are sure
the public will remember his benefit on Monday We
