The lecture Of Lola Montez last even
ring, in aid of Rev, Raph Hoyt's Cbape
Of the Good Shepherd, was nunlerously
attended, in spite of the rainy weathe er
and the reported intordict Of n portion
of the clergy. Hope Chapel vas filled
with a respectable audicnceda third oI
whom may have been ladies. Not o
few of the ministers of thefEpiscopal
Church were present, including Rev
Drs. Higbee and Taylor, while Judge
Edmonds, Hiram Barney, Il. A. Duyc.
kinck, and other eminent representa-
tives of law aud literature, appeared for
the laity. Lola was evidently gratified
with her hearers and she repeated her
lecture on the Church of Romo with
more than usual animation. She was
simply attired in black silk, color ap
propriate to the sacred dosk, her dress
fitting close to her neck, around which
was small lace collar, united below
the throat with u large camoo pin. Her
black hair was cut short or rolled up
behind, and pushed back from her face
a Ia Eageale; style showing to good
advantage the contour Of her forehead
Her hoop was considerably within the
approved dimensions, with quite pro.
tuberance of hustle in the rear. The
lecture WAS o well written though tritc
statement of the modern Protestant
philosophy as to the faults and the caus-
es of the prevalence ofthc Roman Cath.
Ollie Faith, which she said was not all Il
lie, but was founded in somo universal
and precious truths; otherwise il could
not hold for 30 long q Tins such multi
tudes in subjeclion.
At the closo of her discourse, the lee
tnrer paused few moments, and with
n mischievous flash of her big grey
eyes paid her respects to the clergy;
Ladies and gentlemen. The adyor-
tisenents kave informed YOU that the
proceeds ot this lecture are to be given
to the Rev Ralph uoyt, to aid him in
rebuilding his FREQ church for the poor.
The papers have also apprized YOU that
some OF the clergy hive oast reflections
upon the worthy Rector OF his willing

certainly piece OF bigotry, intolerance,
cruelty TO the poor. aud med dllesomc
