LECTURE AT NESTON.—A most able and instructive
lecture was given to a crowded and delighted audience in
the new school-rooms Neston, on Monday evening last, by
Horatio Lloyd, Esq., of Neston. The subject was Nineveh.
The lecturer opened with the early history of this great
city, with notices from the Sacred and Heathen historians
as to its sites extent, and walls. He then dwelt upon the
several efforts made by Rich, Better, Layard, and Rawliu-
son, to excavate the ruins and the signal success which
crowned their exertions in the discovery of the palaces and
temples of Nimrod, Sannacherib, Essarhaddon, &c., &c.
Among the illustrations, which were drawn with his own
hand, were the entrance gate to the palace of Nimrod, a
beautiful drawing of the God Nesroch, the Mount of Kony-
unjik. Reliefs exhibiting the domestis life and warfare of
the Assyrians. A. specimen of the Cunerform writing,
denoting " the mighty King Sennacherib sitting in judg-
ment on city of Lachish." An obelisk with the figures
and names of tributary kings, among whom was Sehu; of
the house of Omri, &c. The lecture concluded with the
scriptural, description of the once renowned and unequalled
city, and the literal accomplishment of the prophetic decla-
rations, proving how the loftiness of man must be bowed
down, and God alone exalted in the earth, that while sin
is a disgrace to any nation, righteousness will alone exult it.
The lecture \VHS listened to throughout with the deepest
attention, and the thanks of the meeting were expressed
through the chairman, the vicar, to Mr. Lloyd, for the in- ,
struction and information which he had most agreeably and
interestingly conveyed.
