.MR u0GE,S ADDRESS.

The Rev. DR.. HoSe delivered on Thursday evening,
at the Athepsum the annual address before the Vrgi
mia Historical society-his subject, Virginia during
the Commonwealth" The rapid summary ofthe Pro-
testor's administration of affairs iu the highest
degree interesting and striking. His success by land
and ssa-his iron will when convinced of the necessi-
ty Of definite action-his comprehensive policy to-
ward all the nations of Europe, aud the remotest
solouss were all painted in brilliant and effective
oolors The speaker then passed to the condition of
Virginia, during the eleven years of Cromwells rule;
and claimed that very great and radical advance in
political truth, and good government had then taken
place. The old aristocratic basis Of suffrage WAS
struck down-regious liberation was declared
many laws touching abuses in all ranks were pass
vu--auu, tue uengn eHects oI tnls repuoiican
spirit Virginia advanced in prosperity and happiness
more rapidly than she had ever done before. The
speaker presented striking facts going to show
the truth of his views and concluded his address
with most interesting picture of the old Virginia
planter and his household about the middle Of the
18th century. The details given excited much Curl
osity and interest in the large and brilliant audi.
ence; and We had new proof OF the fact that these
historical pictures Of social life in the past Of the
State are beginning to possess an attraction which
they have never before had. 1t is impossible, howev
or, in brief notice. to give an adequate idea of this
highly entertaining, eloquent and splendid address,
We should not forget to refer to the very just and
besuful tribute Of the speaker, 10 the virtues and
labors Of the late Secretary Mr.. VIM. Maxwell. 1t
was touching tribute, and produced much effect
upon the listeners. We are glad to knew from tho
brief annual report, read by Mr.. Conway Robinson,
thar the society was never in q more prosperous
condition.
