THE SOCIETY OF ARTS.
Arrangements have been made for carrying into effect Prince Albert's suggestion of lectures at the Society of Arts, on the probable bearing of the Great Exhibition on art, science, and industry, in their several branches. The first course is announced to commence on Wednesday next, with a discourse by Dr. Whewell on the general question ; and this will be succeeded by eleven other lectures, extending to the 3d of March. On the list of lecturers, appear the names of Sir H. De la Beebe, Profes- sor Owen, Dr. Playfair, Professors Lindley and Solly-, with others equally eminent in their several departments. They insure a more than com- monly well-attended session to the Society : and we will venture to af- firm that the patronage of his tutelary saint, the venerable Alban, will bless Mr. Bell, M.P., with a not less full audience than his colleagues, when, on the 17th December, he shall appear to lecture on "Chemical and Pharmaceutical Processes and Products."
