An effort is now being made in the Mercantile
Library Association, to establish classforectures,
ESSAYS and debates from among the members o
that institution, upon the same system Of ofsanlza
ton as the Literary Societies attached 10 our Uni
yersities. To effect this petition lies upon the
desk of the Librarian, addressed TO the President
and directors. for the call OF meeting of the mern-
bers, to organize, as soon as maybe, class to car
ry ont this object. Yet, such is the Indifference
existing among those who should be the most ac-
i've supporters OF that institution, that 1t appears
somewhat doubtful whether, out Of 900 paying
members, suficientnumbeI can be induced 10 CO.
operate in the formation el such class. The nstl-
tuton sevldently on the wane, a toct deeply 10 be
regretted, and al! for the want of energy among
sle members. Will you contribute 10 the interest
OF that Association by giving this matter your lnfu-
ence by a favorable notice in your columns!
