The LYcEuM.-At the request of the
members ofthis institution, Mr.. Jones re-
delivered his lecture on Influence, before it,
on Thursday evening last We were glad to
sec large audience, and especially pleas
cd to see such number of ladies', none
OF whom were out on the evening of the
previous delivery Of the lecture, (it be-
ing an unpleasant evening" and on whose
account, we presume its re-delivery was
requested. We were much pleased with
the lecture when we first heard it, aud
better pleased the second time, and the
breathless attention ofthe audience show
ed that they fully estimated its worth.
After the Lecture the President pro
tcmporc, (crsca.porc, he called himself
but that was only mistake, which he
afterwards corrected read the question
for debate and called upon those appon-
ted to debate it, whereupon the vorth3
members rose up as if with one accord
not to debate, Oh! no, that would have
been doing their duty-doing what the
audi fence, expected; but some of them tc
say that they were appointed withou
their knowledge; some, that they were no
on the right side; some, that the question
was not debatable, others contradicting al
these had said; and so after half an hou
oiglorious confusion, the question was no
debated. We hope it will not turn on
thus, again, and we feel authorized to say
for one of them, that in his case it shall
| not.

FlRE.-On hearing some one shouting
fire on Monday night last, we looked out,
and were much alarmed to see through a
window, fierce blaze raging. in a room,
in the second story of the Washington
Hotcl. In a'few moments the part of the
town in It's neighborhood; was in an up
roar; persons running in every direction,
some for buckets, and some for the en-
gne; the fire was soon cxtinguished, it
being nothing more than the blazing of a
window curtain, which some children
had set on fire with candle. Had it not
been timely discovered, it would have
quickly been communicated to the bull
ding, as fragments Of the curtain still bla-
zing, had fallen on bed that stood ada
