DIR. BAIRD'S LECTURE.

DIR. Baird delivered on Tuesday and Wednesday
evening last, in the Session House of the Presbyte
rian Church in this City, interesting lectures the
past and present condition of Europe and especially
of Russia, Greece, and Turkey.
His lecture on Tuesday evening was confined
mainly to Russia, and that on Wednesday embraced
Greece and Turkey. These lectures were rcplete
with important information in relation to the habits
condition, and religions of the peoples, and of the
strength of these empires and they were listened
to with marked attention by the audience. The
style of the lecturer is easy, conversational and
though abounding in detail, not at all calculated to
exhaust the patience of the hearer. He appears to
seek to give facts gathered from long residence
and personal observation and leave the auditor to
draw his own conclusions, than to announce for him.
self positive opinions and conclusions. We listened
to both lectures with qualification and profit.
At the close of the lecture on Wednesday evening
on motion of Rev. DR.. Lacy, the thanks of the au-
dience were unanimously rendered to Dr. Baird, with
the request that he would, at some convenient time
lecture more at length on the condition of Europe.
