RuvERsE OF FORTUNE. The Dublin
Evening Mail furnishes some psr'iee-
lars Of the history Of Mrs. Bell Martin,
who recently died in New York city,
Immediately on her arrival in e sailing
vessel from Ireland. Mrs. Martin was
the daughter and heir Of Thomas Mar
tin, NJ, F., of Ballinabinch Castle, in tho
County of Galway. She was born to
an inheritance, exceeding in extent IN
entire kingdom of some Of the German
princes, and yielding yearly income,
above all ncumhrances and expensei, /,
Of some $4,000, or $4,000. Such were
her circumstances and prospects five
years ago. In two years time the pota-
TO rot, famine, pcstilcnce, the claims OF
money lenders, and the agency Of Bril-
ish laws, reduced this lady Of fortune
and almost princely rank, to absolute
pcuury. Her whole estate was brought
into the Encountered Estate Court and
advertised for private sale, and she her.

without home. The Mail says Of this
sad history:
"Never was hard fate less deserved

no The eighth lecture before the
Mechanics Association was delivered
on Thursday evening, by the Rev. II.
n. Hudson, Of Boston. His subject was
Shakspeare's Henry w, or, in other
words, delincation Of the character Of
Falstatf II was one ofthe most admi-
rable criticisms that We ever listened to.
Mr.. Hudson's mind is peculiarly consti-
tuted he grasps all the points in q char
ac,er he dissects minutcly all the va.
ried traits of his hero's life, and he clear
| ly proves that Falstaf was a consistent
being--in his Observation-Disclosures
-prudence-seifshness, and all those
other marked traits which make hir3 .
noted character in the play.
The lecture was exquisitely written,
and plainly showed Mr.. Hudson to be
man Of strong, far reaching and polish
ed mind. His periods were beautifully
turned, and his language was rich and
smooth.
Mr. Hudson has published n volume
Of lectures, containing some OF his crit
icisms OH Shakespeare; and We should
suppose that this lecture would induce
many Of those who heard it, to read the
book. We suppose that it can be OBJ
tanned at the bookstores in town.
