markable men of the present age, and his ver-
satilily Of talent is as extraordinary, as his
power TO please is wonderful. As an author a
poet, musician and an actor, he stands in the
front rank of the several departments of litera-
ture IN which he has embarked few men are
so fortunate in the possession OF varied talent
as 10 be successful in more than one sphere,.-
and in this age Of progress, when there is al.
most as many authors as readers, he who can

considered fortunate. But Mr.. Lover is an ex.

TrThe Rev. Henry Giles commenced course
of three lectures at the Ocean House, last eve-

Newport, and known as he is all over the coun.

is so full of visitors. When person listens
to him once, he invariably goes again, for the
