THE REV. HUGH M‘NELLE'S LEC'. rulm,
On Wednesday evening last the Rev. Hugil
delivered a lecture" on the life of Dr. Franklin, the Prr°s,
ceeds -to be applied on behalf of the London
Pension Society. The lecture was announced t°
menco at half-past seven o'clock, but long before se'
the house was crowded by a very respectable ,audie°ce,..
The Mayor, with a number of the Town Coupe rat
tended, and several clergymen were seated on the OW
form. The lecturer was received with loud applau'4
and, after stating the reasons which induced him to oc,-
cupy the position in which he then stood, gave a sil'art;
history of the celebrated individual who was the subject
of his lecture, making a few comments as he proceeded on,
his submission to parental authority. He then-I'6n toern.
spoke 01
his scientific labours, dwelling on the subject of lightning
conductors, and found fault with the authorities of Liver:
pool for not having conductors on the churches of
Michael's and St. Martin's, which were struck by light-
ning during the summer. He quoted largely.
Doctor's own writings with regard to his religious belief,
and animadverted at some length on what he called the
Deism of the Doctor. The Reverend Gentleman cen:f
eluded by calling on America to follow the examPleni)„
England with regard to slavery. Alluding to Dr. Fra ,
lie's visit to London, and pointing to the press at wilt':
the Doctor worked whilst there; which was standing _
from the
1,,
the stage, he said, " This is the link whichconnects tne
name of Franklin with the Printers' Pension See.'etso
a Society well-deserving of your hind, your grateful

support, for let me ask to what class of thfor
'nullity are we so much indebted, instruinentaliv,
our best, our purest enjoyment: —for our highest' ritss
proyements, personal, national, or reli,,,,eious—to what c he
of the community are we more indebted than to.t- s
printers ? It is true the printing press, whilst it glery.
out good wheat, also scatters abroad the tares, but tiler,
it is with the printer as with the rock in the wildlts
ness. It is painful to reflect, that whilst it transM,
the sweet water to many, he himself should c°,11,„0
nun dry and parched—that the compositor by 1`1";..
nightly toil so many are daily gratified, should, ° r„ere
mature decrepitude, arising from the unhealthy t'am.
of his employment, be dismissed, not only by his.tee
ployer, for it would he wrong to expect him to conto„,l
to pay him when he was obliged to employ others, 7e,t
dismissed by the public without any provision what.ei:iset
being made for him. It was to benefit and to synlll3l
with those unobtrusive objects that the Printers re°,si(4)
Society was first established—established first of ',
London, and now, I believe, a branch of it is forme°, 1
and
Liverpool, and if it be managed judiciously, weil I
honestly, I would strongly commend it to your efl,`,:rae
and grateful support." At the conclusion of the lec`ed- A
Philip Schuyler, Esq., the American Consul, prop° a.
vote of thanks to the Rev. H. M'Neile for the able -
dress he hod just delivered, with a request that a
copy
bier
thereof might be given for publication, in a Pin,41)04
form. Mr. J. B. Murray seconded the motion, 5',00
that the profits of the publication of the
here and in America, should be given to the Fritnivir
