been wholly disu.ed by the Cbureb, although much over-
laid daring the last century. Its revival had originated
not in the agency of man, but in penitents, who bad ro-
e& ved gifts of grace, not from man. but 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 guardians, in the blea-
dogs they might thus confer on their pupils.

The above is a brief outline of the sermon, which occu-
pied nearly an hour and a half in delivery.

It was remarked that in the bidding prayer before the
sermon, Dr. Pusey varied the usual expression, " let us
pray for that 'pur‘e and apostolical' branch of the church
to which we belong," into simply " that branch," omit-
ting the laudatory epitheTs.-

COLLEGIATE. INSTITIITION.—The second course of
lectures at this Institution for the present season com-

remarks and examples illustrative of oratory, poetry, and
the drama ; and the lecturer is B. H. Smart, Esq., of
'-^ author of "Walker Remodelled," " Shaks-
" Practice of Elocution," &c.

the course will be in the highest degree interesting and

nor any additional inducement to
hear the remainder of- the course. The opening lecture
was chiefly occupied with an explanation of the nature
and uses of elocution, with illustrations, serious and
comic, of the vivious st les of reading. E o:ution, the
lecturer observed, when properly understood and taught,
was in reality an important part of education. It was not
the art of acting, or even of public speaking exclusively :
it was not the art of reading with a pomp-us and theatrical
manner. It was calculated to make all the other parts of
education produce their proper effect on the mind. He
fhcn explained the nature of language, showing that articu-
lation and modulation were necessary to its pt rfection ; and
- "

divided the modes of reading into the mechanical, the sig-
nificant; and the impwioned, these being all separate and.
distinct from acting. Mechanical reading was what a chili
was first taught, and was similar to the style in which a
person would read a pagsage, who had the same passage open
before him, a simple enunciation of the words without any
view to effect.' In significant reading the object of the
reader was to convey the sense of the words, not to ex-
press a meaning of his own, but merely to tell what the
author said. This was reading strictly so called, and re-
quired modulation of voice to do it properly. The full
expression of a passage must, however, rise beyond this.
The reader must adopt the sentiments of the author i he
must make them his own for the time, and deliver th6n
with all the warmth and.earnestness they might happen to
require. To act a passage the reader must take 'up another
person's manner ; he must suppose himself to be the per-
Son into whose mouth the lines are put. In illustration
of these distinctions the lecturer -cited the well-known
passage from Hamlet, containing Polonius% advice to his
son. His different modes of reciting it afforded an ad-
miruble•exemplification of his remarks; and, in finally

delivery,
