Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Conespondence OF The n T. Tribune
NEWARK, N. j. Monday Sept. IL, 1853
Dear Friend Greeley: Lucy STONE has just con-
suded her third Lecture in this city, and with
pected success Her audience has increased from the
hrst At the Temperance meeting on Sunday night
the hall was crowded, and great numbers went away
unable to gain admittance The most intense silence
prevailed and the crowded asles of standing listeners
who remained during the whole lecture in unmOyed
suietude, bore testimony to the deep, soulstrring
truths to which they were so eagerly listening
But last evening the interest still deeper. The
large and cheerful Library Hall was filled to overflow
ing The aisles were crowded, and around the speak
er's stand every spot occupied Additional benches
procured and artificial seats constructed for the
occasion But il is not from the fact that many people go
TO an entertainment performance that we infer the
amount of good that is done but from the effect of the en-
tcranment the minds Of those who go should Judge
of It's merits Muludes and hosts throng the circus the
heaier and the hppodrome but what impressions do they
get there and what feelings carry away Are they better
better for what they have heard and seen
and felt Is the Individual more sacred in their eyes, and
Human Nature more honOred than before From expert
ence cannot say, for was there. but from what
zee and what l hear from those who go, may safely
answer no. But how is it with Womans lectures
Womans Rights How has il been here, where the p3o
PIE have heard for themselves and been allowed to listen
in silencef
OF the effect on my own mind. the deep stirring emo
tons awakened and silent aspiran resolves VIII not
speak, but of others may.
From almost every one with whom conversed after
the Lecture gathered the same confession of higher
and hoer motive in life for the future stirring within them
In the language Of who said to be one OF the great
est mental philosophers in the land will repeat the feel
ings Of all least far AS could learn never
" such deep STRINGS of my nncrmost soul before
"never vowed 80 soemnly before God. to try TO be a
"Man as when she speaking. never saw myself
look so little to what am and at the same time had
such exalted feelings of what should be as she inspired
.wihin me- never saw such beauty in truth aud made
uoh sacred resolves To live to IT, as at this lecture
Aud this was in substance repeated and rerePeaed from
tongue TO tongue by all with whom conversed
After the Hall had become full, so that more could
be accommodated the several hundreds who had 10 turn
back their homes sent word to the speaker that they
could not get in and had thus been deprived Of their
oymen and accompanied by the request that she would
stay with them longer and lecture again that they might
be benefited by her communications.
In haste, yours in behalf Of Human X CHS
