The Trustees availing themselves of a courteous offer of the Directors of the Brooklyn Institute who extended to them every facility in their power, hired two commodious rooms in the Institute, which from the present time, will he open to the public all dayo (Sundays excepted) from 3 0 until 4, free of charge, until the 1st of September next. During the ummer the subscription books will remain in the hands of the Librarian, who is authorised to An Address to tlic Public by the Trustees of tlic "W'oodhnU." Athacneum. Fellow Citizens As the Institution we represent, has been established on what we hope will prove a permanent foundation, we have deemed it prudent to invite your attention to a brief history of this new competitor to the favor of the friends of Science and Progress.

Some months ago a few of our fellow citizens, who are distinguished for the favor with which they greet every good undertaking, met together for the purpose of enquiring into the expedience of establishing voluntary association which might at a very small expense procure to all classes the advantages of an extensive Reading Room, where Literary, Professional and Scientific Men, Mechanics, and those whose pursuits leave them less leisure for reading and study, might rind all those Journals and Publications which concern the progress of the Arts of Taste and Utility. It seemed to be a matter of astonishment that in so populous and intelligent a city as this there should be no Public Reading Room of this descrip tion. The Brooklyn Institute has indeed been founded and sustained by the zeal and munificence of a lew public spirited and generous men. but it eontemphited chiefly the advantage of the rising platform, gesticulating with violence and talking of nauseous eggs, industry, prodigality, Zack Taylor, i etc. Her pink of a husband would occasionally put in a word to reassure her, but looked like a regular hen pecked a perfect demonstration of her doctrine of waning liberty.

A gentleman had been sent for to answer her, had come by the steamboats and was there for the purpose. But Abby had one resource that she knew was availing, so she presumed upon the gallantry of her op poser, and talked till after 10 o'clock, when we left her. After a sound sleep and a good breakfast, we again returned to the most beautiful spot in the world, our own city of Brooklyn, from whence we hope soon to set out (in the language of Don Quixote) on our third sally. G. Cholera Treatment.

There is one thing that strikes us as singular in the treatment of cholera cases. It is that physicians are no more skilled in curing the disease now than they were 17 years ago. It is a curious fact, that notwithstanding the experience that has been gained during this long time the investigations that have been made in France, England, America and other countries; the various specifics that have been discovered and the theories that have been broached, the number of deaths has been greater in proportion to the reported cases, at this appearance of the disease than in 1832. This is very much owing to the fact, probably, that our physicians are apt to rely more on theory than on experience. There is no class of men in the world so reluctant to be taught by ex peri' nce as physicians.

AVith them all experience is quuekury; and nothing is orthodox but theory and philosophy: and hence the curative art, if it progresses at all, progresses by means mostly outside of the regular profession. Wo have some right to speak on this subject, for we were bred to medicine, and know, or think we know all about the habits of medical men. In Xew York, in 1832, the number of cases reported was 6079, and the num ber of deaths, 2214. Here, it will be seen that the number of deaths in proportion to the reported cases is a little more than one third. During the visitation of the cholera this year, the number of reported cases down to June 28 (yesterday) is 1026 and the number of deaths 46G: scarcely less than one half; showing that the disease, is not treated as successfully now as it was in 1832.

Then only one third died now one half. The Tribune says that Senator David R. Atchison and Representative Willard P. Hall, have taken the stump against Col. Benton in Missouri.

II. Lockwond. i nrner s.i0 FRIDAY EVENING, JTJNE 29. The news from Europe. Seven days Lateb.

The steamer Hiberuia, capt. Stone, arrived at Halifax yesterday afternoon with 70 passengers for New York and 22 for Halifax. She left for New York at about o'clock, and will be at her wharf at an early hour on Saturday morning. By her wo have dates from all parts of Europe. The intelligence is of great interest.

Rome continued to hold out against the beleaguring armies with the greatest obstinacy but there was scacely a hope that her gallant population could long withstand their powerful assailants. The French army commenced the attack upon the city on the 30th and after a sanguinary engagement in which the Romans lost SCO men. succeeded in carrying several important posts. A. serif8 of attacks has since taken place, in which the victory is variously stated, but in which the invading army has sifffored must.

The latest dispatch from Gen. Oudinot is tu the 6th inst. at which time lie opened his trenches and had regularly beseiged the city. There is no appearance', of yielding on the part of the Romans, but on the contrary everything goes to confirm the belief that they would make a most determined resistance and fight to the last. Good Whs.

a pity that one republic should he found engaged in the mean attempt to subvert another France. The new republic is in a very uneasy state. On Wednesday the 13th another formidable insurrection was attempted 'in Paris, in which Borne 25,000 of the mountain party were engaged, headed by 31. Etietme Arago. It was dispersed lathe troopes, whose numbers amounted to 70.000.

Several attempts were made to erect barricades. In the evening the Assembly declared Paris and xnenrst military division a state ol siege. On Thursday the alarm had considerably subsided and business, which was entirely suspended the day previous, was generally 'resumed. Numerous arrests have taken place, including several members of the Assembly, M. Arago and Ledru Rollin.

The last accounts report a state of tranquillity but there was an uneasy feeling afloat that a renewed attempt would be made to upset the government. All the Socialist or Red Republican journals at Paris except the National have been suppressed since trie disturbance on Wednesday. The citv of Rheims is also reported to be in full insurrection, and to have established a government of Red Republicans. Huxgary and Austria. Kossuth has arrived in Pesth and lias been received as President in the capital of the Hungarian Republic, would seem that hoslilities are still carried on in the south between the Hungarians and the shattered remains of the Austrian army supported by the Russians.

The Russian General has issued a proclamation to the Hungarians, that if they do not lay down their arms and submit to their fate with a good grace, they will be made to feel the consequences of their presumption. Every effort is being made to rouse the people, and the Magyar government have ordered clergymen to march against the Russians. Germany. In Baden the revolutionary struggle is now in full play. The Prince of Prussia has left Berlin to take command of the army of the Rhine and in Baden and "Wirtemberjr and Bavaria the Democrats are preparing for a conflict.

The Canada arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday morning. The Caledonia, as we learn from the officers of the Hiberuia, was seen on Sunday, P. M. and would arrive at Liverpool on Tuesday morning. The steamer United States arrived in Liverpool just as the Hiberuia left.

"When 24 hours out from New York she struck on the South Shoal oft Nantucket, remained for 4 hours, and threw overboard 70 tons of coal. She subsequently damaged one of her boilers so much as to render it useless for the remainder of the voyage. She will undergo repairs at Liverpool. The United States passed the Sarah Sands the day previous to her arrival at Liverpool. Thctcelebrated steamer Great Britain has been purchased by Mr.

Fillings of London, and is to be lined out to run between Liverpool aud New York. Ravages ok tuk Cholera. The Cholera has again appeared in England, and several cases have occurred in Manchester and other parts of the country. At Paris the disease is making most frightful havoc, even more so than in 1S37. Upwards of 1 1,000 deaths have already occurred, and in one day there were about 000 cases and (100 deaths reported.

Marshal Bugeaud and many other persons of eminence have fallen before this scourge, which has also broken out anew in Silicia. Yienna and Presburgh, and is raging most fearfully at Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt. England. The bill for the abrogation of Hie Navigation Laws passed the House of Lords without any material amendment on the 12th and hug received the royal sanction. The bill will go into effect in January.

The Jews' disabilities bill passed the House of Commons by a majority of 86. Its success in the House ot Lords is considered very doubtful. The British Government repudiate all cognizance or sanction of the proceedings of the i'rench in their treatment of the Romans. Smith O'Brien, through his counsel, denies the legality of the commutation of hU sentence of death to transportation, and the Government have to provide for the unlooked for difficulty by special act of parliament. Different and apparently reliable statements are made Irom parts ot Ireland to the effect that the potatoe rot has made its appearance in some in stances, but generally the vines look vigorous.

The weather is represented as continuing very fa vorable, and the crops of England and Ireland are Raid to look unusually promising. Fearful Mortality on Shipboard. fi, deaths by Cholera. The packet ship Guv Manner mg, Capt. Edwards, arrived yesterday morning at the quarantine, from Liverpool, with seven hundred and seventy nine steerage, and six cabin passengers.

Thirty five have died with Cholera during the passage, and seven are now sick of the same disease. Imposition. Some one imposed upon us yesterday a communication purporting to give an ac count of the dedication of Grace Church. It was received without suspicion and inserted as a matter of course. We learn, however, to day, that it is a hoax.

We trust that the author is "satisfied with the Success of his trick. It seems to us that a man who can so impose on the public can stoop to any meanness. h. uuioimmM ui a ueereuu oroer oi mis court, made in the above cause, bearing date the 8th day or February, 1848, I Will sell at the Franklin House No. IS Fnltnn tfui city of Brooklyn, on the 29th day of Juno, 1849, at 12 o'clock, at noon of that day, the following lands and premises All thoso certain pieces or parcels of ground, situate at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, being part or parcel of land heretofore owned in common by and between Comfort Sands and oshua Sands, whereof a partition was lately made lietween the said Joshua Sands nnd one Henry Sands, the grantee of the said Comfort Sands, by commissioners appointed agreeably to an act of the Legislature of the state of iew York, in such case provided, and with the consent or the President, Directors and Company of the Bank of New York, to whom the said Comfort Sands hud mortgaged his said undivided moiety or halfpart or the aforesaid farm and hi nii.li i.ii iiLiun me tnnin.

figures on the window. te6 receive subscriptions and donations, to be collected and paid after the first of September. It will be perceived tnat the Constitution makes the Athenieum a stock institution of shares of five dollars each, certificates of which will be issued when the installments are paid in. To give efficiency to the Institution it is thought necessary to get not less than one thousand shares subscribed, a considerable portion of which is already taken, and to raise the amount to two thousand shares, if possible. This stock draws an interest of seven per cent, which will be easily paid by receipts derived from admission foes to the Library and Reading room and tickets for Concerts, Lectures and Musical and Literary entertainments, with Exhibitions of Art, and other moral and unexceptionable amusements.

On this plan, the most popular, successful and useful institutions of Europe have been founded, and grown into res pectablity. In the old world as well as in the new, it has been demonstrated that no associations of this character have succeeded so well, as where all the property they owned was represented by stock, and belonged to the shareholders. For men exert a keener vigilance over institutions (whatever may be their nature) where their interests are concerned. Affairs are conducted with more economy and greater fidelity and exertions exacted from their agents. If this Athtenoum is eneo.uaged ly our citizens in the beginning, as it should be, we shall witness what has been seen in so many other places from a feeble origin it will grow into strength; every successive purchase and donation will swell the hulk and the value of the property and thereby continually increase the value of the stock so that which originally cost rive thousand dollars, may (as has been the case in other instances) become worth a vastly larger amount while the advantages and attractions of the Institution will be increased in a corresponding ratio.

The election of officers and the entire control of the affairs of the Athenteum are invested in the stockholders themselves, which ensures the safety of their property. With the earnest and confident hope that in the effort we are making to add a new ornament to our city, to bring within the reach of all our fellow citizens better means of literary and scientific progress, we shall receive the encouragement and aid of all the friends of learning and virtue, we make this appeal. The Woodhull Athameum is now established on a permanent basis we wish to multiply its means of usefulness aud widen the sphere of its activity. During the approaching autumn and winter a succession of Orations and Lectures will be given by distinguished public men. In the meantime, subscriptions of stock and donations are solicited.

All donations of books, journals, may be addressed to the Librarian at the rooms, who will acknowledge their receipt: and donations of money may be made through the Treasurer. C. EDWARDS LESTER. John Curtis, Librarian. Summer KaiuMingrs.

No. 2. Mr. Editor. "We arrived at the boat just in time, (and when I say we I mean it, for the wife and baby were nlong,) the steambkat Croton that was to bear us on our second rambling.

We had seen the Hudson and now were to see its rival, the East river so called, or miscalled. I say its rival but rivalship was not long continued for after endeavoring in vain to compete with its celebrated relative, from whom it parts at the Battery boasting of its great shipping, and its being decked by two great cities and hasting on past Blackwell's Island after a brief course of fifteen miles, during which it has spread itself into bays as if already despairing of ever being a respectable river, and gathers itself up for one mighty struggle, fortijii's itself and comes to the xo'ind conclusion to let the Hudson roll without a rival. But the conclusion to which the river came was ours, for we went on in our good boat, end after passing Sand's Light House, and being passed by the Connecticut, a Xew Haven boat, we turned in one of the many inlets or bays that skirt the Sound and stopped at Glen Cove. Wc were favorable impressed with the Pavilion House, as its position was command ing: delightful. A long piazza stretches along the whole front, being long enough for eight or ten setts of cotillions, and wide enough to boot.

(Don't think that the association of a beautiful piazza and a cutilliou party originates with me: it was suggested to show the fashionable in a fashionable way, how many feet in width and in length it was.) Our appetites were very severely tried before we were permitted to try them but all things human have an end, and so did our appetites and impatience. The dining room is spacious and (I must say it) our meal was any thing but satisfactory. However, we were before the throng: and probably they have not yet prepared for the fashionables. The first opportunity was embraced to go out in the sound and try another cove; and Oyster Bay was our next retreat. Here I could linger long to describe its beauties, (take it how you please Mr.

Editor,) but must be brief. The Bay House is the House of the place, a new hotel, late the residence of Cornelius McCoun. Its site is the most com manding in the village and we understand its beauty is equalled only by its convenience and internal arrangements. But it had no charms for me. chose a spot near the old place, where, years ago, was heard the mingled laugh of many a happ heart, (mine included.) I loved to linger around the old house and call to memory the scenes and incidents attached to every little locality to stray through the walks where years ago My thoughtless steps had fondly roamed," and not alone either.

But, oh! how changed! This lovely, quiet retreat, that made me happy through several summers, was deluged not by a crevasse but Dr. Strew who had opened in it a hydropathic establishment and now nothing but streams, wet sheets hanging up to dry, to be wet again shiver ing patients and no patience how changed. After a good supper and as good a segar, we strolled by moonlight to the village Academy and here a bill was announced that was a perfect novelty to me. The notorious Abby Kelly, or Foster, as you please, was lecturing on slavery or liberty, to a confused throng of whites and blacks, i I arrived there after she had commenced, and heard her affecting description of her reception at Huntington, where she said her liberty was taken from her, and she was assailed with cuds and nauscou generation and the scope of its usefulness was of necessty limited, because our citizens generally seemed to manifest so little interest in its success. Its means had not yet allowed the establishment ot a general Reading Room which was felt to 1 needed by our Population it was therefore thought that an Association might be lormed to supply this want and as so many individuals seemed anxious to have it done, a meeting was called, when after free and full discussion the following Constitution was unanimously adopted coxsn nvTiox of the ivoodhiill atilenei'm.
