lecture this evening before the Ncw-Yorl Lyceum
ut the Tabernacle, upon the History of the late
Revolution in his native land For the better Illus
tration OF his remarks he will appear in the Gre
clan military costume. Under ordinary circum-
stances we should be disposed strongly to object
to this conversion of tie Lecture Room into the
atre museum; but Mr.. CAsrANls is so highly
| spoken of by eminent men who know him, that we
cannot think he will violate good taste, or condcs-
cend To amuSe by a farce or show, when the &C.
casion requires instruction and grave discourse.

Deputy Sheriff, and il not until it was too late
