THE BOYLE Lacruaaa —Yesterday afternoon the
fret of the lactates foaoded by the Host Robert Boyle for
proving the truth of the Christian religion against sotorions
infidels waa delivered in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall. For
many years these lectures were delivered in the city
churches, where scarcely half a dozen people could be ob-
tained to listen to them. Lest year some improvement osa
made, and the Rev. E. Gerbett, the lecturer, delivered them
In frailty Church, St. MaiTlebooe. Another step in ad.
mace has been taken by the Duke of Deveoahire (a trustee)
and the Bishop of London, and for this year the lectures
will be gine in the Chapel Royal. Yesterday aftersooo
the chapel wee crowded in every part. There were present
the Chanosilor of the Eachaquer, Mr. Cardwell. Secretory
of State for the Colonies, FAA Powys, the Speaker of
the Home of Commies, the Bishop of Winchester, Sir J.
Worn% Lord Clarence Paget, M. P., Mr. A. Smith, M.P.,
Mr. Grant Dud, M.P., with several other members of the
Boom of Commave and many clergymen. The lecturer
appointed this year is the Rev. Charles Marimba 8.D.,
chaplain to the House of Comatose, and rector of Lanford,
Heim He selected for his test the 17th chapter of the
Acta of the Apostles, verse 32, "And when they beard of
the resurrection of the dead some mocked ; and others said,
'We will hear thee again of this matter.'" He pointed out
the interesting nature of the imiairy bow Christianity
operated upon the philosophy of ancient Mmes, sod bow it
cum afterwards to be the moral law of civilised men.
The object of his lectures, he said, would be to endeavour
to trace the prover of this great transformation, the
most signal of all religious revolutions. Hs added that
the object of the founder of Boyle's lectures was the asser-
tion of the truths of Christianity mount unbelievers, sod
although it had been usual to glee them a cootrorenisl
taro end to urge special remove in defame of Christianity,
be thought be should sot be departing from his iostructima
if he took a somewhat different coarse, and pointed out
some of the changes of religions opinion anumg the ancients,
for he believed that at the present day they would be more
likely to recommend the truths of Christianity by recording
the progress of conviction in the rabid of man than by
answering old objections or by combating new ogee, which
were really Dottie' more than old objections with sew faces.
He thee proceedd with much clearness to sketch the re-
ligions state of Roman society before the birth of Christ,
sad stated that his following lectures, to be delivered on
the nest seven comecutive Sunday afternoons, would deal
with the cooveraiou of the Roman empire.
The Londonderry Journal states that one of
Lord Leitrim's bailiffs has been shot, and that Peter Griffin
has been arrested for fring the shot, which took effect in
the bailiff's thigh. It is net known whether the wooed is
dangerous. Another account states that it was the we of
the bailiff, a lad about 15, that was struck by a shot fired
into the home, which shattered the boas, rendering ampu-
tattoo mcemary. The outrage occurred about tea miles
from the 'Wags of Milford, county of DonegaL
