hear and not be denied. They must keep jealous watch
over themselves, framing themselves with discipline,
taking care not to be blind leaders of the blind. The
power of the keys was not new doctrine, nor had it ever
been wholly disused by the Church, although much over-
laid during the last century. Its revival had originated
not in the agency of man, but in penitents, who had re-
ceived gifts of grace, not from man. hut from the Lord,
through his Holy Sacrament. Dr. Pusey then called the
attention of those who were tutors in the colleges to the
opportunities they had, and the duties of their station,
acting in the place of parents and gur:rdians, in the bles-
sings they might thus con'er on their ruidls.

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. _ course of
lectures at this Insti utoti for the present season com-
menced on Friday. The su'oject is elocution, including
remarks and examples thus!' ative of oratory. poetry, and
the drama; and the lecturer is IL 11. Smart, Esq., of
London, author of " Wacker Remodelled." " Shako-
perian Readings," " P.actice of Elocution," &e. In
saying this, we say sufficient to assure our readers that
the course will be in the highest degree interestieg and
instructive. Those who were. present on Friday evening
need no such assurance, nor any additional inducement to
hear the remainder of the curse. The opening lecture
was chiefly occupied with an explanation of the nature
and uses of elocution, with illustraions. serious am,
comic, of the various styles of reading. E osution, the
lecturer observed, when properly understood and taught,
was in reality an important part of education. It was no{
the art of acting, or even of public speaking exclusivelya
it was not the art. of reading with a pomp• us and theatrical'
manner. It was- calculated to make all the•other parts Ail
education produce their proper effect on the mind. He
filen explained the nature of language, showing that artisn-
lation and modulation were necessary to its perfection; and
divided the modes of reading into the mechanical, the sigs-
nificant, and the impassioned, these being all separate an&
distin:t from acting. Mechanical reading was what a chile-
was first taught, and was similar to the style in which is,
person would read a passage, who had the same passage open
before him, a simple ettui•ciation of the words without any
view to effect. —ln significant reading the object of 04
readerrwas to convey the sense of the words, not to es-
press a meaning of his own, but merely to tell what fit*
! author saist. This was reading strictly so called, and rot-
quired modulation of voice to do it properly. The fult
expression of a passage must, however, rise beyond this.
The reader must adopt the sentiments of the author; tia
must make them his own for the time, and deliver theita
with all the warmth aid earnestness they might happenla
require. To act a passage the [testier must take up another
person's manner ; he must suppose himself to be the per-
son into whose mouth the lines are put. In illnstrarttri
of these distinctions the lecturer cited the well-knears.
