The LECTURE SYsTEM-MR. CHoArE.--The
mania for giving lectures is much more wide
spread than the desire to hear them. Some two
years ago the country was filed with itnerant
Mrateurs, who had crammed from encyclope
diss, and discharged great loads Of bombast
upon the devoted heads of our rural friends in
consideration Of twenty-five dollars and ex-
penses. The thing has been occasionally tried
in this city, but it was always comparatively a
failure; and now nothing but some great light
will attract New York to lecture. Mr.. Ben
ton and Mr.. Everett filed the Academy. Lcc-
lures from such men will always attract
a crowd. We notice that another great ora
tor--Hon. Rufus Choate--has taken the sta u
in Boston, and delivered a lecture upon Rogers
the poet, who lately died in London. NJ.
Choate is one Of the greatest orators that the
country has produced, and his style is entirely
his own. We believe he has never been heard
in this city, and think that he would draw as
great crowd as Benton and Everett. As
popular orator, he is superior to either Of them.
We hope that the Mercantile Library Associa
tion will invite Mr.. Choate to give his le;tur,
upon Rogers at the Academy.

THE News BY THE AsIA.--The Asia arrived
yesterday afternoon, bringing three days later
news from Liverpool. The news is neither very
startling nor very important. The treaty OF
peace had not been promulgated ; rumor said
it would be signed on Saturday the 22d, or
Monday the 24th. and that the Conference
would then proceed to take up the Italian cues
ton. In England there were rumors that the
terms were not SO advantageous as the people
had ausured from the successes Of the allied
forces in the field it was said that the French
Minister had supported Count Orlof through
out the debate, in opposition to Lord Clareu.
don !; and that to the persistent reclamations
of the latter the Russian Plenipo,entiary had
responded by observing that what satisfied
France ought to satisfy England, the weaker
member OF the alliance. But this was perhaps
mere gossip. The confidence in the final res
toration of peace was 50 unbounded that the
government had put stop to the Transmission
of men and supplies to the Crimea, and the
funds had risen again.
The imperial baby was WE'LL and so was the
mother, who was going through the usual
course of illness. All France was bursting
with congratulations and rejoicings.
Mr. Buchanan had left London for Paris on
bis way home. The London ZIn@ has another
article about the United States. in which the
British desire for peace with this country, and
friepdiness towards America, are thoroughly
set forth

M tely between Great Britain and Honduras;
the latter claiming the right, and the former
exercising the fact of sovereignty over these
islands. Now, there can be but little doubt
that if Great Britain were to generously re-
store these islands to Honduras that republic
would readily recognise all rights Of property
and Of interest which have grown up ~
der English occupancy, and furthermore,
concede 10 the actual inhabitants such munic
pal right and powers as should practically
constitute them an independent community
In this m lner England would receive TIE
credit of ia rness, and obtain consequent infn-
ence with the State to whom the atOnement
would be made; while the most import mt
issue in the whole Central American contro-
versy would be finally withdrawn. We have
reason to believe thst influences, not 0rigi-
mating with either the government Of the
United States ner with that Of Great Britain,
are at work to effect this result, which is one
Of deep importance, not less in view of the
disposal Of cause Of dispute than in de-
privipg captious premiers and noisy dema-
gogues, on both sides of the Atlantic, Of the
means of disturbing the repose and embitter-
ing the relations of their respective countries
The common sense and plain intelligence of
the public will see at once that there is no
reason for prolonging this dispute, and that its
settlement can be effected, on the basis above
indicated, with no sacrifice of right or Of honor
or either side. Let the people, therefore, look
to the matter for themselves, and sec that the
settlement be made.
