The "BLOoNER" LECTURE AT ODD FELL
LOWS HALL.-Dr. Sayer had the luck of
most disagreeable time for her lecture last
night; and the only wonder is, considering
the condition of the streets and the state Of
the atmosphere, that so many were in atten-
dance. Her audience numbered some of the
most intelligent and respectable of our citi-
zens, including several clergymen-Rey. Mr..
Dashiels, Rev. Mr. Hill, and others. Her lee
ture was substantially the same as that deliy-
cred at Temperance Hall, though there were
many additional hits at folly and fashion,
which her keen observation has no doubt sup
piled to her since her former lecture As at
temperance Hall, she seemed to carry with
her the sympathy of her audience, and the
applause was frequent and prolonged. The
remark that "man's true worth and charac-
ter lies not in the cut of his coat, nor woman's
In the last few inches of her skirt" was en-
dorsed so heartily by the audience that one
would have thought every man and woman of
them was fairly won over to Bloomerism but
alas fashion" and scustom" are mighty,
and WILL we fear, put off 8" the good time
coming" for long, long years.
1t is pity the Doctor does not speak en-
teDipOre, for great many who 60 to see her
dress, cannot do so as long as she stands in
trenched behind her desk while reading her
lecture. Whenever she did make a movement
to the right or left, there was a general dodg-
ing and turning of hesds, to get peep at those
graceful skirts, and pantalets and one excited
young man IN his eagerness to see all there
was to be seen, quite forgot to turn his BODY,
as he turned his head, and so came near twist
ing his neck of.
The public curiosity to see and hear the
Doctor Is by no means satisfied, and, we think,
she will have to repeat her lecture again.

Our AGAIN.-In our watch returns we had
occasion more than once to mention the unfor-
tunate case of Mr.. W. Finley, who posses
sed of great natural abilities, and a good edu-
cation, had been reduced by intemperance
to accept shelter afforded by the watch house
during the late inclement weather that he
has been sent from thence to the work house,
which quarters not proving cOngenial, he had
somehow " leaked out" He has been sent
down again. and has again shifted his quar-
ters, but this time by different move. We
most sincerely hope that he will drink no
more and resolve to make good use of the
noble talents given him by his maker, and
should he give the promised lecture, we can
testify to his abundant ability to treat his sub
ject abundantIy and most eloquently.
