OF The mail failed yesterday beyond Charleston.

ARMoRY LEcTUREs.-Mr. Christian Roselius
delivers, this evening, the third of the series of
lectures for the "beneft of an asylum for the re-
lief of destitute females" The subject selected is
the "American Revolution-its influences and eff
fects;' which, from the great reputation of the
lecturer, we predict will be ably handled. Mr..
Roselius is one of those popular citizens raised to
his eminent position by his industry and great
talents. He aims at few ends without success, and
seldom fails TO please where he has determined TO
do SO. On this occasion then, we can, without en-
dangering our reputation, prophecy an instructive
and interesting DISCOURSE In truth, it will also be
remembered that the proceeds are to be devoted to
a charitable object.

palities since 1886. have expended immense sums
in the creation and support of the Fire Department.
The members of that Department, though not Dur.
thened with worldly wealth, have each contributed
his share to this great public institution. u
true that, by means of State law, the foreign and
domestic insurance companies have contributed
something to the same purpose, and many instances
occur in which they have made valuable dona-
tions But we rest this question upon principle
we place the whole question and its solution upon
an honest scrptura maxim: The laborer IS wor-
thy of his hire Ifyou, gentlemen, are willing to
submit to violation of this common rule OF hon
esty, blame yourselves.
But you may ask, where is the remedy!
Permit me briefly to point it out -,
1t is with the police powers of the city and OF the
various Municipalities composing the city, to guar
antee to each inhabitant the peaceable possession
of his property. You pay tax for a police to pro-
tect you from robbery by day, burglary and mcen-
diaries by night. That police, however, can go
farther: it can protect you from the consequences
of incendiarsm: it can protect you from loss by
fire. If it is thought that the charters of the Mu-
inequalities are not sufficiently explicit apply to the
Legislature and the requisite amendments will be
granted.
What will he the consequences Of these amend
ments. Neither the time or occasion will permit
me TO answer this interrogaOry it should be an
swered That an enlightened legislation must an
swer it, apprehend will be- the response, to those
who take the least concern in public affairs.
Let me conclude. Many years since met an
Englishman, occupying at present high position
in the councils of his nation. He expressed his
surprise at the organization of Fire Departments in
this country-it was incomprehensibie to him, how
men who learn their bread by the sweat of their
brows'' should voluntarily and at their own expense
perform the arduous duties of a Fireman. My only
reply was, "they are freemen-they never think
of consequences when they can do good to their
fellow man, Happy association-happy REUNION
of those good eslings which urge you good deeds
