DIR. Pages Lecture.--We had the pleasure,
and pleasure it of listening to this gentle
mans lecture, before the Capitol Hill Institute,
upon the subject of Acoustics, or the science of
sound The meeting was crowded to an incon-
yenient degree, but those who were compelled
to stand up manifestedno impatience. The leo
turer added, to perfect acquaintance with his
subject, the happiest facility Of impartipg in-
struction in that easy, Franklinian style, which
discards all unnecessary technicailies, and seeks
only to array truth in the simplest garb. We
wish the literary association continued success,
and more convenient hall for their meetings.
