we trust, In case of invasion, was our guest in
this country, and has always been its diScrim-
mating friend. What beautiful Sketches, we
hardly dare call them pictures, were those Mr..
Thackeray gave us in this lecture Gowper, the
holy poet reading Fielding novels to Miss Tn
win-R Richardson submitting SIR Charles Grand
iSon to aristocratic eriticism-LOrd Chatham
bursting into tears, because the King spoke civ
lily to him, $50 his own letters, as well as Mr..
Thackeray record, odd Sam. johnson, the he
70 of the last centurys literature, Joining the
young men on an innocent lark or standing be-
hind the scenes of the theatre, and the pretty
actresses curtesying to him, reverentially, as
they passed; or his tears over his friend Lever
#eet's grave; and his prayer, 50 brief and SO no
ble-"May God lbaye mercyIon him! May he
have mercy on me.2and that which Mr..
Thackeray told, with irresistible tenderness and
grace, of Edmund Burke-the philosopher, the
statesman, the orator-meettng the poor Mag
dalen IN the streets Of London, and drawing
tears from her eyes, by words Of counsel and
kindness-and last of all, the old, crazed King,
in the one lucid interval of his long night, play
ing hymn on the harpSichorti and praying for
his wife, his children, his people, and humbly
for himself
Ifany caviller at Mr. Thackcray heard all this,
he must have blushed at the consciousness Of
having thought the lecturers congenial vein was
narSn' Satlfe. vi the CONCLUSION OF the lecture,
the solemn, earnest, prose monody over the grave
of George the Third-of It's touching eloquence
we do not care to speak, lest some sneering out
side disparager may call it extrayagant But it
had its response. Years ago, we can remember,
the curtain falling on the last sceneof Macreadys
Nirginius in a solemn silence, which spoke more
impressiyely than applause. The audience had
not the heart to speak out, Sowith the close of
Mr.. Fhackeray's lecture on George the Third,
without the stage allusion. sThe audience were
silenced by eloquence, We Americans seemed
to be standing solernnly at the open grave of the
poor, old crazed king, our forgiven enemy, and
listening to words more genuine and impressive
than ever fell from State preachers lips. One
criticism on this beautiful passage we have to
make. George the Third was not Lear-the
pretty Princess Amelia was not Cordelia There
is something in Cordelia' legendary woe too sa-
cred for comparison with any Princess, living or
dead in our. pay. There is gigantic passion in
Lear and George the Thirds mcagre insanity
cannot be ikened to. George, Prince of Wales,
and Frederick of York, were a sort of Regain
and Goneril to him, but here the parallel such as
it is, stops.

TUE CAMDEN AND ANNOY RAILROAD cArAsTRo-
PuE.-The trial of Israel Adams, the engineer on
the fatal train of the 9oth of August on the Cam
den aud .tmboy railroad, as already recorded, has
terminated in verdict of Not Cult; to the sus-
prise of many who have market the course of
evidence. The Philadelphia Times states:
at is impossible for any intelligent man to
read the evidence in this case and the clear
and courageous charge of the Judge, without
being satisfied that the jury rendered their vcr-
dict from principle of humanity-not wishing
to make Mr.. Adams, an humble and hard-work.
ing subordinate, the victim and scapegoat of the
company"
quite cirtain,
Adams was acquitted simply because the jury
was not satisfied that he had neglected to blow
the whistle or that he had run his train reckless
lp. The connection Of DIR. Heineken with the
accident seems to have been made merely an IN
cidental matter. While no practical result has
been effected by the trial, STILL the general prn-
ciple oflegal responsibility for acts ofnegigencc
or recklessness, whereby injury is produced, is
shown to be applicable to engineers, and conse-
quently to other agents of railroad companies
who have contol of trains"

USE or ruE oaGAS-.A meeting of the Ian
chasire Pssehstery was held at Manchester on
Thursday, when it was resolved to consider the
prOpriety Of admitting organs into the places of
worship connected With the United Presbyterian
Church. After long discussion the following
motiou was carried by majority OF 10 to o.
'srhe Presbytery are of opinion that the use of
instrumental music for the purpose simply of
leading the praises of the sanctuary, is not con.
Eary TO any principle or law, either of the SUI
pre,neor subordinate standards Of this Church,
and that such use has already been practically
sanctioned by various Presbyteries thereof and;
therefore, while they refrain from giving any
recommendation to the Congregations Of the
bOund5to introduce, organs, they would leave the
Christian wisdom and discretion of individual
congregations"
