PROF.. GoURAUD; LECTURE AT N1BLo's.-The
weather was unfavorable for walking, but the Prof.
had highly intelligent and satisfied audience at
tend the repetition Of his Lecture ut Nibos Saloon.
The experiments were similar 10 those at the Tab
ernacle, and were executed with the same rapdity
ard accuracy, and indeed were, if any thing, more
satisfactory than on Thursday evening. One young
lady repeated, without the aid of the black board
the ratio OF the diameter to the circumference, car
ried out TO l54 places of dccimas without an error
ltis unnecessary to give detail of the experiments
as, from the reports which were published OF the
previous Lecture, they arc familiar to our readers
They were most wonderful in their results and
evlnced the astonishing power of that system which
will enable any person, even child of six years,
10 place in the treasury OF their memory the enor-
nous amount OF facts contained in the hundred pa
ges OF the performance, and some OF them OF the
nlost difficult characer-such as the ratio of the
diameter to the circumference.


The only new feature OF the system was the proof
OF the adaptation of the system TO the learning Of
prose and poetry, by Mr.. Gouraud himself He re-
peated at random as called on by the audience. anv


line from six pages of French verse, ard was loudly
applauded for his perfect accuracy.


The Professor answered the question put in one
of the morning papers III relation to his reading his
lecture, while he possessed the power of committing
tito memory, by stating that the lecture consisted
merely OF portion of the sheets Of the preface To
his dictionary which be had just finished, and he'd
not had time TO mnemonize.


The acquisition of such system as this of Prot
Gouraud must be of immense value to ALL and We
should suppose none would be unwilling to pay the
small fee necessary ior its acquisition. The system
should be introduced into public schools, aAd
be adopted as portion Of the regular education oi
both sexes.


The inhabitants OF BroosIyn viii have AZ oppor-
lGnity Of witnessing the surprising results OF this
system on Friday evening next, at the hall of the
Brooklyn Lyceum.
