OPINION 3 AT HOME AND ABROAD.

" MECHANICS' INSTITUTE, S?. JOHN, NEW BRIINSIVICE.-10
few days the lecture season of this institution w;11 close, and while
we look back with pleasure on the lectures delivered, none will

longer hold a place In our memory than that of Mr. Malone Raymond,
on Monday evening las'. The subject was Jerusalem : tnd with
the utmost ftlicity, and in language the most chaste and captivating,
and with a manner and grace the most fascinating, the eloque it
lecturer escorted, as it were, his delighted au Hence through the
domes, rorticoes, cathedrals, temp:es, and valleys of the Holy City,
and led them in breathless silence up the m ,unta'ns round about

Jerusalem," and by the pocis of Siloam and Bethesda, and along the
banks enclosing the billows of the Daad Sea. Beautifully Im-
pressive, the lecture was an excellent description of that land
consecrated in the minds of Turks, Jews, I fidels, and Christians :
particularly dear, however, to the latter, as the scene of the holy and
miraculous ministration : [the deatli,i burial, resurrection, and
ultimate ascension of the Redeemer of mankind. While it was

li:storically descriptive, it faded not as a production remarkably
illustrative of the reco,d of Scriptural thin, and in confirmation of

the Oracles of Divine I❑spi,ation. The Valley of Jehosophat was

miuntely demribsd—being, in the minds of many, the spot destined
to le the great seat of the final judgment of the quick an the dead."
St, John's Paper.

From the Montreal Pilot, Nov. 12, 18i3:—" :t is a long time since
we attended a lecture whiel pa,3sed off wi.h such brilliancy as that
of Mr. Malone Raymond. He i s the complete impersonation of the

genius, wit, humour, and fun-loving character of his countrymen.
Alike irrisistible in his lively and in his pathetic descrii.tions, he
entrances and carries with Lim his audience, whose admiration and

de'ight are evinced in turn by roars of laughter, by rhouts of
approbation, or by the still more unequ'vocal language of silent

emotion. The room, on both occas'ona that be api eared before a
Montreal public, has been crowed. We are glad to find that he
has determined to give one more lecture this evening, and we
at ongly recommend our readers not t 3 omit to avail themselves of so

rare an opportunity of spending an agreable hour as this lee urn

affords."

" MISS KATE Sartow.—This accomplished young lady, who will
shortly give a series of Lectures and Readings in our city, belongs to
that most respectable and benevolent class of the community
called• Friends ; her mother w s the friend and associate of that

kind-hearted and charitable lady, Elizabeth Fry, with whom she
visi ed many of the prisons and ether abodes of the wretched, both
on the Continent of Europe and throughout the British dominions,
many of the unfortunet, inmates of which have cause to bless her
memory. Miss Kate Saxon was educated at the celebrated Qu,ker
seminary at Croydon, about twellts miles from London, where,
among other accomplishments, she, at an early age, displayed
elocnticnary powers of a high crder, and after her retire
ment, from the col'egiate institution alluded to, had

nunaerousl advan' ag ons offers made to her to lecture
and read th,ouglout the various librtry roc'eties of England;
these offers were duly accepted, and the fair candlc'ate for public
approbation soon became extremely popular. Subsequently Miss
Kate Saxon gave her lectures in the United States and Canada, and
has continued. to do so with unequalled success, np to the present
period ; on one occasion only she appeared with the cerebrated
Germanic Musical Society in this city, when she read the great
leading passages of Shakspeare's ' Midsummer Night's Dream,' to
a crowded and admiring audience. 'I his young lady cannot fail to
prove an otject of interest here. Her figure is light and elegant;
her face handsome and expressive, her voice most musical, and
altogether her manners and delivery fascinating to the highest
degree. From the likeness of the young lady which we have seen,
and which now adorns the windows of many of the stores in Chen_
nut and other streets in this city, we advise the young gfiatlerata
, to take Care of their hearts."— Philadelphia Peper,,
