FELICE ORSINI'S LECTURES.

148,Ignor Orsini delivered the second of his course of
Tie
in the Concert Hall, last night, at eight o'clock.
y7ea attendance was not more numerous than on the
7i°llB occasion. The subject of the lecture of last
1144 Was Hgnor Orsini's escape from the Castle of
m". On entering, Signor Orsini was loudly
tp!anded. He proceeded to detail the facts con-

erwent in December, 1854, having been arrested when
on a political mission, in consequence of his

Llv• After 'having gone through what could scarcely
ehiled even the form of a trial, he was imprisoned
h till Castle of Mantua, in order that he should
subjected to farther examination. Having under-
,Lue several such examinations, it became certain
tt hisi condemnation and sentence to death must follow,
ti„' Signor Orsini therefore resolved upon making a
v4Perate effort at escape. After seven months of
nment, during part of which he suffered from fever,
,h.sticce:ded in effecting his purpose. The manner in
14 eh he accomplished his end formed the main subject of
me.leeture, which was one of deep interest, detailed in
0t,1131 aid unadorned language. The prisoner had
kt tiled through the aid oi a Berlin lady possession of
small watch saws, and with these, working during the
I,:rrala of the visits of his sentries, he succeeded, in
4"Y-four days, in cutting through seven of an inner row
I, ars which guarded his prison window, beneath which,
tta depth of thirty yards, lay the castle moat. The
lst'Agams by which he concealed his labours and
ti'"ed - hie gaoler formed a remarkable portion
„ e lecture. When his work at the bars had been con.
he succeeded in making a rope of sheets and ()lies
of his bedding, sufficiently long by which to
k"e, himself into the ditch. When the last visit of the
for the night had ended, he lowered himself into
ht ditch, falling, however, to the ground when within six
)1:19, of the bottom. He was severely hurt, and was
l'ute to climb up the wall of the ditch,
4,11 t eighteen feet high. When morning came,
431'; and a few eol bean to pass from the town, he
ppe'LY called outp to them, g h saying e had been drunk the
the'ious night, and had fallen into the ditch, and asking
hill to him out. Some refused,. but others were
linnet, and he was dragged cut. He hid for some hours
the reeds on the margin of the lake near the
Vie, and ,by the aid of some of those who
I,llPed him from the ditch, and who guessed at
,
t, real condition, he was enabled to correspond with
6416' of his friends, and finally to get safely out of the
it"tran territories. Having narrated at full lergth the
ing and thrilling details which we have thus so
e, glanced at, Signor Orsini concluded by an eloquent
:Alation, that his had consecrated his life to the
kiCiee a Italy, and a hoPe that the lapse of a few
qllths would see him again upon the battlefield, fighting
iast the enemies of his country. The loud applause
14.8 audience f3llowed the conclusion of the lec,ure.
tr't% Finch moved a vote of thanks and the expression

kttrlded by Mr. Williams in an eloquent speech, and
Tl'd by enthusiastic acclamation.
