T. ". 7Romus' Lecture, The announce
ment that the above gentleman would deliver
a lecture, on "Byron," in the Rev, Mr. Ham
ners Church, on Thursday evening, induced
the attendance of very large and intelligent
audience. Previous to the delivery of the lee
ture, the Philharmonic Society performed one
of their most popular pieces, in manner that
gave ample evidence of the amount OF musical
talent combined in the association. Mr.. Tho
mas IS a bold, manly speaker, possessing fine,
well toned voice, with that intuitve tact which
iyariably "suits the action to the word" The
audience were evidently disappointed in refer
enCe to the manner in winch the subject was
treated. They expected IN accurate analysis
OF Byron's powers, illustrated by flowers Gull
ed from the beautiful gardens Of his own i'm
agination; and were, consequently, no little
surprised, when the lecturer attempted an en-
- Il, H.
and the moral tone end influence Of many f
bis objectionable compositions In the effort
to accomplish this object, the lecturer evaccd
a thorough familiarity with modern English IL
feature, and cbastness and force of imagery
rarely cxcollcd; but the cadcavor to change
the current Of public sentiment IN relation To
his fayori'o, was most unequivocallv failure.
The lecture could not be considered q REGULAR,
connected composition, but, rather, if We may
lie allowed the expression, All Immense mass of
thoughts piled indsc Intimately upon each
other. Admitting that Mr.. Thomas failed TO
convince his auditory of the truth Of the posi-
ton he assumed it was nevertheless apparent,
that his general style received the warm appgo-
baton Of all present. After the conclusion of
the Lecture, DR.. Wallace of Missouri was in
tloduced to the aulience, who after a few
amusing PREDATORY remarks, recited an original
poem entitled "Niagara,n which, if the APP
clause which attended its close, can be consi-
'.2d a criterion, was production Of consid-
t."ole merit. Upon the whole, the proceed
.l.3 Of the evening, embodied something
2a pied to the taste and capacity Of each indi-
rtaal member Of the audience
RUn eft Track, The Western train of
cars due in this city at O'Clock on Thursday
crcling, did not arrive until 10 o'clock at

injury was done TO either cars or passengers
