Mr. OGILVIE last night resumed his Lecture
on Penal Laws at this place, and notwithstanding
the inclemency of the night, was tytended by a
numerous audience. It is impossible to► desc►•ibe
this Lecture in adeqnake terms of commendation.
It WAS a masterly effusion of eloquence, learning,
philosophy, and benevolence. lie painted, in the
most pathetic terms, the dreadful agonies of the
culprit, whose crimes are about to undergo the
investigation of Law, and the consequent infliction
of penal Justice. In tracing all the feelings of the
unhappy offender, in reviewing tie course of his
life, in reflecting upon the contempt and indigna-
tion of mankind, the firm integrity of the Judge,
the conscious duty of the Jury, Find the feelings of
the Spectators, the Lecturer demonstrated a
pet feet knowledge of the human heart. To
relieve the sympathy of the audience after this
tremendous and affecting Picture, he con-
chided with a very animated and appropriate
Eulogium on BURNS, the Scots Bard, and
recited two of his Poems, one pathetic, and
the other martial, with the most impressive ten-
derness and energy.—The audience testified their
approbation in loud and repeated applause.
