The invention is patronized by many mem bers of the Skating Club. Besides public rooms and promenades, there will bo rooms for private societies and individual practices, whore this elegant art will bo taught.

New York Lyceum was an original and powerful incitement to universal etTort in the great cause of inlgllcctunl culture and elevation. He was laboring under a severe cold cud hoarseness,, which compelled him t t ariiculat? slowly, tahoriitlsly; but the profound aUeulion which was given by the. vast concourse rendered his voice audible throughout tne spacious Tabernacle. As we trust this Lecture is to be more than once repealed, and Us salutary, inspiring truths yet hresthed into many years, we shall oiily endeavor id give an idea of ita spirit and purpose. As the physical life of Man, Gaid Mr. D. has been shortened from the age of Methti- saluh, his intellectual life has been extend .vdftYhiJjiJie istwicB bdve tegw ymxil3B&r&MBarBi longer than die whole Antedeluvian period Whole ages of Mental activity and experi ence are crowded into 'years. The mere child is now familiar wilh facts which forty centuries labored to arrive at in vain he knows, for inslaliec, that the earth revolves on its own axis and around the sun facts which --the rmighty-intellects -nf Thaler, of Aiiaxagoras of C opcrnicus, struggled long to develope which Kepler lived and died to establish, and the -maintenance of which consigned Gallileo to the dungeons of the Inquisition. The great error of our time is a superstitious and paralysing bolief in the omnipotence f Genius. It has almost be come a part of our system of education to inculcate a. belief in a set of deities who wield a capricious "and despotic empire over Man, independent of the Government of the Creator. This remnant of ancient mythol ogy is instilled into tlve child in ita ctadle, anil sweetened to the taste pf infancy, and it clings to him to the grave. . . "... :' " He hpaw more of the gooW Nature than of htm who thundered from Sinai; ' I hnu shall have no other Gods before me," Na ture is benign Nature is . wonderful; Na ture Is beautiful hers is tlie morning" splendor snd the evening twilight; hen are the flow ers of summct, end the bounty which re wards the toils of the husbandman. Such is the lesson continually inculcated in our ago Nature U every thing, and abuts out from view the presence arid the influence of Him 'who doe th his pleasure in the trmics of Heaven and among the inhabitants of the Earth.' The common idea of Nature is not more irreverent than that of the goblins Genius. ",m " ,7","ru i Lltual itnprorement at ospp, pursue it with week minds are not the loftiest grades off r , , , ... .

The absurd de"olio., to Chifyicsl suidiea iti our time tends to confuse and confound our pen epUona of the rat bntlrnotrt forgotten troth (hat there is no toyal rond tii inmllee tual eminence. Mr. B. illustrated this truth at 'much lengtli, wilh great clearness and beauty, insittiiig that Man's iiitclli-cuinl cul ture and achievements depcnilu on liimelf.

Wherever the yonii? h-arner turns, he finds this fatal idea of Genius this mhilie goiten imp of classic lore intruding itself every where except in the jlihle to dis courage all attempt at iolBllectiial cfevation. Hut sliow mn the evidence that those who have towered above th? common measure of their kind were impelled by inborn gifts, and owed nothing to patient, persevering ef- lort! W here shall we find such a genius? In Homer? What know we of his first halting efforts nt rhyme? , Is it not evident that his lieaiL was whitened with age before he had acquired his wondrous mastery of the liyrc?IaDejui)stheiies?-...Jk in his lonely cavern at his patient midnight studies, a mirror beford him to correct his grimaces, a drawn sword suspended just a hove his slioul lers to rcoreaa hia abruaa! How long did he thus toil and strive, how often were his shoulders pierced nnd sear- red, oeiore he became the first orator of an tiquity! Away.llien, with the pernicioua delusion of native Genius! Success is the reward of well directed, persevering effort, and comes lo all who nobly aUwirle 10 u- chicve ii!

THE MASON AND HIS SON. The following fact occurred at Clagenfort, in ('nrintlii.it when the French army oc cupied that town. The thunder had much injured the point of the very high steeple on the principal Church; nnd a mason and his son were employed lo repair it. A crowd of inhabitants assembled at the place to witness the dangerous operation. The fath er, a man of fifty venrs of age, still ligorotis ami active, almost reached the summit; tha spectators tremblingly counted their steps,. when they saw me son suddenly loose noid of the ladder and fall to the ground. A cry of terror aroe. All crowded towards the unfortunate man who lay shattered upon the pavement without a sign of life.
