The American Philosophical Society has a library of 20,000 volumes, and upon its list of members there have appeared a number of di,tinguished and honored names. . . . . The Apprentices' Library contains 14,226 volumes, which have afforded munsement and instruction to over millions of youthful readers. The library of the Academy of Natural Sciences contains au invaluable collection of 25,000 works, embracing every department of natural science. Perhaps no library of simila • character, or of mg value, exists anywhere in the world: Thu Atho. "mum is the repository of vow volumes, most of them of a “standard" character. The Pennsylvania Hospital library contains 11,000 publications, all furnishing the best of food fur relic diem The Southwark Library Com. IlarlY owns 8,2031 books, intended for general reading, and Is one of the Met powder and Useful libraries in the city.

The Franklin Institute is the happy possessor of six thousand nine hundred and silty-two works.

It may surprise the reader to learn that there are but I, , enty libraries in the United States, exclusive of those attached to colleges, - which coat sin lo fifty which contain 100,000 or more volumes t To return to Philadelphia: In addition to the libraries given above, we have that of the Polytechnic College (number of works not known, but if elle extensive), as also that at the Mkt, which, thon g .h COSA,. 22 .. g lost -2,50 books, is very valuable.

A gain of Ai or 3( in soy particular security- made on one day is lost on the next, and the week closes with prices slightly changed from the quotations at its commence ment. It seems as if operators generally were waiting for nwro tiecidc4 news from Pouring beer(' they were villing to make any further contracts of importance. The money market is equally stagnant with the stock market.

Prof. BOLLES, the discoverer of this new eyelets of practice, has been in this city two years, and his efforts have been attended with unbounded suc cess. p r of, B. it: well established at 1120 WALNTT :Area, and is in attendance most of the time liiintelf; also, has constantly medical and others of his own qualifying to perform every department of business. We understand that a great number of the most reliable people in our sift' have tested this new system of prac tice, alter they had been given up to die by the most skilful medical men, in this and other cities, and have been permanently cured in a few days. Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, of long standing, is frequently cured in a few minutes, and persons who intTO not been able to walk for years are permanently cured in a few days, and sometimes in a few minutes. Consumption, Paralysis, Dys pepsia, Neuralgia, Diseases of Females generally, Saint - Vitus' Dance (Chorea), riles, Bronchitis, slathna, Hem orrhage, and other diseases which bathe the old practice they cure permanently. Surely the Apostolic days have returned to our diseased age once more. We under stand that all diseased constitutions are treated with unerring certainty, and ( specially old chronic cases of long standing, even 5, 10, and 15 years, are cured in. a few applications of Electricity. We hope this practice win soon be brought into public favor and diseased loi manity will soon find a Balm in Gilead, and a Physician of Nature there.
