The lectures for the winter before the different
associations here have already commenced. That

ivered last night by Mr.. Henry Giles, one of the
most eloquent speakers and best writers in the
country. He was honored with full house.
OF the new publications, think of nothing just
now that stands sufficiently out from the others
require notice. The Times newspaper, edited by
Mr. Raymond, boasts loudly Of its success, having
obtained in seven weeks circulation Of 5000 /;
but it should be remembered that it is turn. coat
paper, sold until it reaches sufficient foundation
in advertising, at one cent. With good paper and
printing, and careful news editing-with three
times as much reading matter a. any other penny
paper-it runs against the Sun, that has 10000 /;
and when it gets half the Suns circulation, it will
be put up to the price of the Herald and Tribune,
of neither Of which papers it will ever be a very
powerful rival, because Mr.. Raymond can by no
means invest any paper under his control with a
degree of character to say nothing of quality such
as Mr.. Greeley or Mr.. Bennett give to their papers

Death among the Bo,rbons.-We have already
briefly mentioned the death of the Duchess of. An
gouleme, the last surviving child of Marie Antoi-
nette, which occurred on the 18th of October, at
Frohsdorf, an Insignificant Austrian village The
Boston Courier says:
She was the only daughter Of Louis W., was
born Dec. 29th, ITS, and had, therefore, nearly
completed her I'D year. She married her cousin,
the of Charles X, and has survived all her
family of the elder branch of the Bourbons, except
the two children Of the Duke of Berthe Count
Of Chambord, (itular Henry W and his sister
the Duchess Of Parma. On the return of Bona
parte from Elba, the Duchess of Angouleme was
the only member Of her family the sole man among
them, as Napoleon used to say,) who made any
courageous effort to Withstand the torrent which
was once more sweeping them into exile. She
subsequently addressed the troops at Bordeaux,
and passionately invoked ST. Louis, Henry Nv, and
other glories OF old France, but in vain.
The greater part Of the 81 years which have
passed since the abdication Of her uncle Charles
K, in July 1880, she resided. we believe, a,
Frohsdorf. where she dwelt in the strctest retire
ment. We told that " early on the morning Of
each anniversary Of her parents execution, this
daughter OF sorrow secluded herself in chamber
hung round with the insignia Of DEATH and with the
black silk vest in which Louis died. and other relics
OF the martyred king and queen before her, re-
NAMED IN solitary prayer and meditation till the
| midnight chimes announced that another anniver-
sary OF a fatal day had passed into eternity"
