MR C. A. ROBERTSON'S PHYSIO LOGICAL LECTTRES.
I Mil Robertson delivered the third of his excellent lectures on Saturday evening, with diagrams and illustrations, at the Weiiesley-strect East School, in the pre sence of a number of teachers and intellec tual listeners. The subject of the discourse embraced heat-giving food, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, starch, sugar, fat, &c. Mr Btabazon, of Ciiy West School, occupied the chair. The lecturer was received in a gratifying manner, and having touched upon some of the leading points of his pre vious lecture, proceeded to deal with the sabjects of his immediate lecture. We regret that space will not permit the publication of these admirable lectures in cxtenso, containing, as they do, facts and illustrations with which every young person especially should be familiar, as they relate to health and comparative happiness. At the close of the lecture a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the lecturer, ■who brieliy returned thanks.
