A building has been lately erected in the High Street, of Newport, Isle of Wight, to be used for the purposes of the Isle of Wight Institution. It contains a room for newspapers and periodical publications, a library, a room containing the museum belonging to the Philosophical Society, and a billiard room. The estimated expence was £3000, and it does great credit to the accuracy of the architect, Mr. MORTIMER, of this town, that it has not exceeded that sum. The amount was raised in tranferable shares of £25 each, the proprietor of one share has free admission for himself and the liberty of introducing a friend. Those who possess more than one, receive 35s. per annum for each additional share, which is the sum fixed on as the annual subscription of persons who are not proill-prietors. The sum paid on the admission of each member, is 11. 11s. 6d. ; low as the charges appear they have yet been found sufficient to enable the committee to furnish the rooms in a handsome manner, and to purchase a considerable number of books, which will soon become a respectable library.

RICHARDSON'S HOUSE, AT PARSON'S GREEN.

While in the zenith of his popularity, and towards the close of his life, Mr. SAMUEL RICHARDSON resided in the house above-represented, at Parson's Green. It stood at the south west corner, facing the road to London, and a few years since was pulled down. The admirers of Grandison and Clarissa, will view with interest this relic of an author whose admirers are always enthusiasts. Hence he dated many of his published Letters, and here he entertained the most intellectual society of his time. Nothing can be more pleasant and cheerful than the site of the house-a pleasant green-handsome country houses, and a very cheerful road, were always present from its windowswhile the gardens behind were open and spacious.
