VICE IN ENGLAND. A series of lectures is given in London on the subject of "The Prodigality of Vice in England." At a recent meeting at Concert Hall the Rev. H. S. Brown made the following remarks: "It was calculated that £20,000,000, annually was drawn from the weak, foolish, and vicious to support those dens of infamy, brothels where the body and soul of human beings were disposed of as if they were so many cattle. Of the large sum for the whole country, £10,000,000 is allotted to London, and £500,000 to Liverpool. Talk of the expense of emancipating the slaves, and of the dreadful war expenditure, with these facts before us? Why the thing is monstrous to think of, and reflects strangely upon us as a nation, that, while our charitable and religious societies are languishing for support, we should thus be recklessly throwing away annually such incredible sums of money in vicious indulgence. We find that, out of the amount spent in London, £2,000,000 goes to the wretched women, while the remaining £8,000,000 is swallowed up by the brothel keepers. Here is an astounding fact. The poor creatures who barter their bodies. and souls for lucre, are cheated out of their earnings, and held in a state of thraldom such as we, in free and happy England, and actually living among them, can form no conception of. Five years is the maximum of their vicious career, and if we take 2000 as the number known to the police in Liverpool, we find that in five years a generation of immortal beings are sacrificed to the lustful passions, or one victim immolated daily." COLLEGIATE EDUCATION. "The true policy is, since the mountain will not come to Mahomet, for Mahomet to go to the mountain. In plain words, since the mass of the people cannot go to college, if they would, and would not go to college, if they could, education, in all its fulness, and with all the common advantages, and enduring blessings that cluster around it, should be brought to the people. We have faith in this plan-an abundance of it. We believe in schools "common schools," if the reader pleases-institutions of learning in every district, supported at the public expense, and invitingly open to all. And, instead of establishing colleges, for the benefit of now and then one, with old fogy Professors, whose faces are nailed to the Past, and whose minds are tied up to some old creed which the world has long since repudiated, we would have whatever is useful in learning brought home to all the boys and girls in creation. Talk about Chemistry, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology, and all sorts of such things-there is not one of these branches that cannot be thoroughly taught in every school-house in Ohio, as well as in any college in America. Why not have it done?—(Plain Dealer.) NEW AND PERMANENT SERIES. Volume First of a new, permanent, and uniform Stereotyped Series of BUCHANAN'S JOURNAL OF MAN, will be issued on the first of January, 1856, in Nos. of SIXTY-FOUR PAGES MONTHLY, Stereotyped in a uniform manner, so as to furnish subscribers a regular series of volumes for their libraries, constituting a permanent record of the most interesting knowledge in the world, and sufficiently voluminous to concentrate in one work, the most important, useful and interesting matter that would be attractive to the student of Anthropology and lover of progress. In this large work it is hoped may be found everything that would be desired by the Students of PHRENOLOGY, PHYSIOGNOMY, PSYCHOMETRY, SPIRITUALISM, SELF-CULTURE, GENERAL EDUCATION, Presenting in all things, that which is most novel, most profound, and true, instead of repeating those matters with which the intelligent are already familiar. AGENTS WANTED.-Steady remunerative employment will be given to good CANVASSING AGENTS. Young men, interested in Phrenological Science, who are adapted to the business of such an agency, may secure a profitable engagement by addressing the editor. At the close of a course of lectures on the Science of Anthropology just delivered in this city, by Dr. Jos. R. Buchanan, the class called a meeting and appointed Wm. B. Elliott, of Philadelphia, Chairman, and Olive S. Wait, of Illinois, Secretary. Mr. Elliott spoke of the object of the meeting, and hoped that resolutions expressive of high regard and appreciation for the able manner in which Dr. Buchanan had presented the truths of Anthropology, would be adopted by the class. The following resolutions were then read and unanimously adopted:— Resolved-That in the Science of Anthropology as taught by Dr. Buchanan, we recognize the clearest and most comprehensive exposition of the laws which govern Man, that has ever been presented to the world. Resolved-That in the fundamental principles of this Science, when properly understood, we believe will be found a key to unlock the mysteries and solve the great problems involved in the true Education and Elevation of Man. Resolved-That in human impressibility, including the Science of Psychometry as discovered and systematized by Dr. Buchanan, taken in connection with the general functions and laws of the Brain, we recognize facts and principles of the utmost importance to the Parent, the Teacher, and the Reformer. Resolved-Also, That in the mere perception of the novelty, beauty, and symmetry of the laws discovered by Dr. Buchanan, we recognize immense practical utility; such perception being pre-eminently calculated to elevate the mind in adoring gratitude toward the Creator of the Universe.
