Lectures OF the Rev. DIR. Dewey.

Lectures OF the Rev. DIR. Dewey.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: Several favorable COM
munications have appeared in the journals of
this city relating to the series of Lectures re-
Gently delivered in one of our Eastern cities by
this learned and gifted divine. From the fol-
lowing reference to them, taken from q reli-
gious paper differing in sentiment I am in
duced to reiterate the request made, that the
Doctor be invited to repeat them in this city
during the present winter. The instructive
character of the Lectures leaves no doubt of
their being favorably received by our commu-
nifty. S.
"THE PROBLEM OF HUMAN DEsrINy."-The
course of lectures on this subject, at the Lowell
Institute, by the Rev. DR.. Dewey, has just been
concluded. The interest manifested at the
commencement continued without abatement to
the close.
The breathless attention Of the great audi
ence which has listened to the beautiful pas
sages and the refined eloquence Of the speaker,
is creditable to the cultivation and taste of the
citizens of Boston. The theologian, the moral
philosopher, the student of the history and ne
ture of man, have here found some ingenious
solutions of intricate and abstruse questions,
and many suggestions which may assist to
"vindicate the ways Of God to man"
ANOTHER FIRE--Another fire occurred about
seven o'clock last night, which destroyed three
small frame houses and stable, owned by Mr..
Dismell, who keeps stall in the Centre Market
for the sale of fancy articles. The destroyed
property was located on the Island, on F, be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets. One Of the
houses was occupied by Mr.. D., to which was
attached tavern and store, and the other was
tenanted by Mr.. John Ennis, as q dwelling.
The household articles generally were destroyed;
as were also horse and carriage, the property
Of Mr. Dismel, with a quantity of provender,
which was in the stable. There was also ada
cent the frame of another house under erection,
the property of Mr.. D., which was likewise
burned.-Repubhc

REPORTED DISCOVERY OF GOLD AT THE SAND
wIcH IsLANDs.-A correspondent of the New
ark Daily Advertiser, writing from London, un-
der date Of September 10, says:
yesterday we received letter from Hawaii,
or Owyhee, enclosing a sample of gold which
was found there; in fact, gold mine has been
found on that island. DR.. Gregg, who wrote
is full of gold; it is found in the same way as
it is in California. The natives are delighted,
and if the excitement does not abate they will
go crazy. The foreigners prefer hearing more
before they move in the matter. We will have
full particulars next week"
We suspect that, il there were any substan-
tial foundation for the above report, we should
before now have received more satisfactory in
formation respecting it, 1t may be that the
expedition lately fitted out mt San Francisco
for the Sandwich Islands has some connexion
with the matter. 1t is stated by the San Fran
cisco Pcayune that this expedition goes out
with the cognizance and cooperation Of the
agents and the representatives Of the Hawaiian
government in California; that Mr.. Spence,
the Hawaiian Consul, is the agent Of the COM
pany, and transacts all its business; "that the
course to be adopted by the emigrants is one
that ensures complete success; and that it is
intended to be carried out in a manner that will
be crcditable and peculiarly advantageous to
both the United States and the Islands. Full
confidence is expressed by the parties engaged
in the movement, that few months only will
elapse before the Sandwich Islands make part
and parcel Of the great republic"

EXTRAORDINARY EMIGRATION OF THE Cir
sEYs FROM HUSGARY.-A people Of mysterious
origin, inaccessible to all religion, after re-
pose Of four hundred years, has once more
graspcd the pilgrims staff to fly beyond the
reach of modern legislation and seek out for
itself q new country. Alarmed at the reorgan-
ization Of the kingdom of Hungary by the usur-
pations Of the Austrian government in that
country, where they have SO long enjoyed the
immunities of an uninterrupted freedom, they
have been for some time wandering in swarms,
and in all directions throughout the Austrian
monarchy, seeking an outlet into another more
friendly land. Accustomed for centuries in
Hungary to live apart from the rest of its pop
ulation as unmolested dwelers in holes and
caves, earning the scanty necessaries of life
without much exertion, they have found them
selves watched Averse to, and incensed at this
state ofsuryelance, it has wrought them into an
unheard-of excitement, and to the desperate re-
solve to leave forever their wonted hearths, to
seek out once more the ancient country from
which, so many centuries ago, they were driven
by some unknown power. To see this people
in their present impulsve act of emigration is
snid to be truly wonderful. Like the wild deni-
zens of the forest, enclosed on oil sides, they
seek an issue out Of the frontier pale of Europe;
numbers have penetrated on their pilgrimage as
far as the Tyrol and Switzerland Bohemia
and Austria Proper swarm with their hordes,
and numbers have penetrated southwards across
the Turkish frontiers They speak Of nothing
but of their new country-where are no IRON
tiers, no passports, and no gendarmes. They
say they came from Egypt, and must now re-
turn thither.-- Pilaitz's Hungary.
