YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

REV. DR. VAUGHAN'S LECTURE

The seventh lecture, in connection with the Young Men'
Christian Association, was delivered in the Hope Hall,
Hope-street, last night, by the Rev. Robert Vaughan, D.D.,
Manchester. The subject of the lecture was, " The Credit.-
lities of Scepticism."

The chair was taken, at a quarter before eight o'clock,
by the Rev. J. B. Lowe, M.A., and the proceedings were
opened with a prayer.
The Chairman then, in a few words, introduced the
lecture of the night, expressing his full sense of the utility
of such an institution as the Young Mon's Christian Asso-
ciation, and the support and strength which it enabled
young men to afford to each other. He expressed especial
approval of it on the ground of its catholic spirit, not being
confined to any one particular sect, but being opened to
young men of all persuasions. After a few observations
upon the scepticism which prevailed hi every community,
and which was to be dealt with that, evening, the chairman
concluded by introducing the Bev. Dr. Vaughan.
The Rev. Dr. Vaughan then proceeded to deliver his
lecture. He declared in the opening, that one of his prin-
cipal objects was to show that modern scepticism lay. open
censure, upon the ground that, to a large extent, it was
the scepticism of men; who, were they only as much dis-
posed to bow to evidence in relation to Christianity, as they
were disposed and prepared to believe; and bow in relation
to other things, they would be no longer sceptics, but firm
believers. He did not deny that there were honest
doubters, who were entitled to the sincerest and the
deepest sympathy, but these were not the men who were
likely to " wear their doubts upon their sleeve, for daws to
peck at"—they were men who would be more disposed to
shat them up in the sadness of their own hearts; than to
babble them to every passer-by. He 'did not, however,
come there to refute scepticism, but only to show how facile,
in lending themselves to the most irrational belief,
were those who declared that they believed
nothing. In many, he, -showed, their scepticism was
only another development and form of their vanity. He
pointed out the incongruities of the higher class of
sceptic„ the philosophic sceptic, and contended that, when
pushed to an extreme, this disbelief was found to be nothing
but a perverse form of thought, which no one would dare
to act up to in the ordinary relations of life. It was felt
by many intellects, in the beginning, to be a gratifying
thing to reject the belief of the crowd, and live in a
scepticism apart from them. Gradually, the mind, which
did not, know how to respect the faith of others, was
allowed to strip itself of all true faith. When a superior
intellect became vicious, it was, nevertheless, no uncommon
a thing to see it become the dupe of falsehoods, of the
flimsiest description imaginable. The lecturer, as an
instance of this, alluded to the well-known tale gravely
narrated by Lord Herbert, of Cherbury, one of the very
earliest of English deistical writers, of the sign which he
received from Heaven, authorising him to publish his
book, " De Veritate," in which he denied the existence of
all external Revelation. The force of vanity and credulity,
the lecturer observed, might go far; but help each other as;
they might, they could scarcely surpass this singular in-
stance. So important was the life and the work of a courtly
trifler, that an external revelation might be made from
heaven to him, but the whole great heart and life of
humanity everywhere, was not important enough to merit
any such revelation ! Having generally sketched out tha
principal incongruities in the scepticism of the age of Lord,
Herbert, of Cherbury, the lecturer pasied on to the scepti-
cism of the present day: As a striking instance of the
credulity of scepticism, he referred to the well-known his-
tory of Andrew,Jackson Davis the Poughkeepsie seer, pub-
lished some time since by Mr. John Chapman, Strand, Lon.
don, and introduced with a preface by Mr. Chapman him-
self, from which the lecturer read several extracts.
Many other instances of a similar character, connected
with clairvoyance, spiritual manifestation, and other
prevalent exemplifications of credulity in our own day,
the lecturer adduced, as evidencing the fact that the
severest scepticism, and the most extravagant credulity have
frequently gone hand in hand. In a style of great 'vigour,
with much occasional humour, the lecturer attacked the
credulities of scepticism, and defended the faith of Chris-
tianity.

The lecturer was listened to with the greatest attention,
and frequently applauded by a crowed auditory.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A WOMAN
AND HER CHILD.
4.-

The two men, Ford and Jackson, charged on. Suspicion of
having wilfully murdered Mary Ann Peacock, a widow, and
her infant child Eliza, by drowning them in the river Thames,
were brought up for examination before the magistrates at
Kingston on Saturday. The prisoner Jackson appeared a re-
spectable looking man, about 6 feet 6 or 8 inches in height, but
Ford was considerably taller, and had a remarkable expression
of countenance. The evidence taken was chiefly a recapitula-
tion of that adduced at the coroner's inquest, and which has
been already reported. The only additional witness called was
Joseph Hammerton, the man who taught the deceased woman
to write, and who

b Ford t
leave Mrs. Peacock's house on the night of ordered
the allegey d mur-
der. Hammerton said that he resided at the waterside, and was
a bargeman. On Monday, the 7th inst., ho was in the house
belonging to Mrs. Peacock, when Ford came in and said that
if witness did not go out he would fetch some one to make him
go. To save him the trouble, ho went out, and proceeded to
the Rose and Crown. Ho saw no more of them till Tuesday
morning, about six o'clock, when he saw Ford come ashore in
a boat at Kingston. lie heard the boat come along, and
looked out of his window. Whilst Ford was proceeding, as he
imagined, to call the prisoner Jackson, witness went on board
the barge called the Charlotte, and therein he saw the female
and her child, lying in the port bunk. She was then alive,
and ho saw her and the child move. He could swear that the
two persons were then alive, and he saw their faces. lie did
not speak to Mrs. Peacock, and he went on purpose to See
whether deceased was there, as he had heard that she was
going on board. He did not go to see whether she was there
because he was jealous. He used to go to deceased's house to
teach the woman to write. He did not lose sight of the barge
until Ford came on board again and started it. He had no
ground for knowing that Jackson was at home, and he was not
quite certain that Ford went to his house, although he went
in that direction. He did not see Jackson on board again:
The magistrates having consulted together, adjourned the ease
until Saturday next. The inquiry appeared to excite great
interest, and nearly 2,000 persons uero congregated round the
grand jury room to witness the removal of the prisoners.
