Mr.. MEAGuZRs LECTURE The committee OF tho

commcedsJe wisdom in the selection of the orator oil
their opening night. After Jenny LIND aud Rachel,
we have seen 10 ore perhaps, capable OF drawing 50
large houso ss Mr. T f. Meagher. Lust evening tho
Academy was crowded .oits utmost limits, ample and
auent as are its proportions and from every crevice
there broke, curing the ecture-the more rena'ksols
in its excellence for being out Of Mr. MeaghTs loved
national ana romantic sphere Of psudts which
even these gres! artists might truly have euv'et.
Too much credit cannst be given to Mr.. Charles IL.
Deevan the secretary Of the Institution, to whose un-
wesryirg eye,t1ns are mainly due the success which
has titbeto crowned this most useful association, aud
which, We hope and believe, is bu. the blossom OF
still richer and riper career
