Port Nicholson MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. THE COMMITTEE of the above Institution have much pleasure in laying before their fellow colonists the following list of subscriptions already received or promised towards the expense of erecting a Hall, which is intended to seiwe—at least for the present—as a Library, Reading and Lecture Room, and Museum. While the utility of similar Institutions is so universally admitted in England, that it would now he considered superfluous to urge their claim to the support of every right-thinking person, there are yet reasons arising out of the peculiar circumstances of this community, which render such an Institution doubly necessary here, and make the proposed building almost indispensable. Apart from the objects directly contemplated, the hall of the Institute will afford facilities not at present existing, for meetings for public purposes, nnd also might possibly be used through the day as a commercial room or Exchange, and should either of these ideas he carried out, the room itself would become a source of revenue, and thus be almost, if not absolutely, self-supporting. It should also be borne in mind that this alone of the older settlements in New Zealand, is destitute of such a building as the one now proposed. Auckland has its Mechanics' Institute, and Nelson its Literary Institution, but Wellington—in which an Exchange was one of the first buildings erected —has been for several years deprived of any such place, notwithstanding its evident public utility. To this may also be added, that materials for a museum, one that might be peculiarly rich in illustrations of the geology and natural history of this country, aie from time to time available, but have been hitherto lost to the public, simply for want of a place of deposit. Such materials will become more scarce with every passing year, and thus another reason is furnished for doing at onec, that which has be«n already delayed so much too long. The Committee take this opportunity to announce that they received per Ennerdale, from London, nearly 250 volumes of new and standard works for their Library. They also call attention to an advertisement in this day's paper respecting a proposed change in the designation of the Institute, trusting that the members will recognise in this, their anxious wish to make the Institution more extensively useful. With a rate of contribution so moderate as to be within the means of all, they hope that those to whom money may be of less object will be induced to enrol themselves as members under the altered title. Estimated cost of the building £300
