It is pleasing, says a correspondent, to observe the progress of the ST. Tammany Society, of New York; not long since, they opened a Museum for the reception of Natural Curiosities, &c. which has thriven in an astonishing manner, and become extremely entertaining;—They have since issued proposals for the establishment of a Literary Magazine, which, from their assiduity and perseverance we may expect will be highly valuable: add to these, they have established a Library containing, at this early period of it, no less than 300 volumes, consisting of the works of the most eminent ancient and modern writers, to which additions of the best publications are constantly making. This Society is a body corporate, consisting of upwards of 300 members, and rapidly increasing. Admission at present as a member, is 5s. which after the first of October next, will be raised to 15 dollars.—Their harmonious proceedings, excellent regulations, and praiseworthy motives, appear to merit the well-wishes of all who are acquainted with their operations, and bid fair to be of infinite advantage, in a particular manner, to the citizens of that metropolis.
