'° n Friday Evening week, Capt. John 
Ueves Symines, of this city, delivered, be- 
f>re a very numerous & most respectable 
audience of botn the sexes, a Lecture up 
on his novel Theory of the Earth. ' It 
vas certainly, to say the least of it, a most 
ingenious production ; and which it is be- 
ieved, was well received—if we mar 
'dge from the respectful silence that 
pervaded the room. Many of his friend >, 
f understand, have been trying to per’ 
suade the captain to continue bis idea on 
to* subject in a short course of lectures—", 
and ^r which, it. is b dieted, he lias matte* 
ye: regaining,unddiyerea,fort -eput^os . 
I am. ^leuajfjrong the many, that wish the 
lecture to; M resumed. The subject it- 
seif, is tob closely connected with science 
not to merit public favour.
