| MELoDEoN-A large audience was gathered
last night at the Melodeon to listen TO Mr. Geo Van
denhofrs discourse and readings. The lecturer
commenced by saying that we must go back into
the past to find great poets. Their age had passed
aud the age of sophisters and poetasters had sue
ceeded. When we look back to the days of Byron,
Spenser, Cowper, Shakespeare, Milton and others,
we can excaim, "there were giants in those days,
and it is sad reflection that they have been sue
ceeded by race of pigmies. 1t is well for US to
go back and exercise in the grand poetic play
ground, that We may escape the mental 1ickets,
and curvature of the literary spine.
Before commencing to read the lecturer begged
to state that for three evenings he had spoken in
Pittsburgh, and the small coal mine which he
could feel in his throat must be his excuse for any
rregularity of voice.
The reading commenced with an extract from
Scott's Lady of the Lake, describing the battle be-
tween Fitz James and Roderick Dhu, aud, with
the thrilling words of the ilustrous author, and
the perfect manner in which it was recited, the
audience could easily fancy the scene passing be-
fore their eyes.
"Peter Pindars" " humorous Prayer for Rain
kept the audience in roar, while the Story
of Lefevre brought the listeners into close
fellowship with MY Uncle Toby" and the
gifted author, Lawrence Sterne. TennysOn's Re-
ply to Coquette, the closing chapter of the Court
ship of Miles Standish, and Sandalphon by the
same author, were all recited or read with wonder
full power. Hoods record of the miseries OF living
in Paris without learning the lingo" completed
the selections, which throughout were happily
selected and admirably presented.
The speakers manners are easy and pleasant,
which, with a fine figure, appropriate gestures,
and splendid voice, would attract attention any
where. He is, deservedly, fayorite speaker

Plicated. Their names are Juan B. Tragista,
n. A. Brown, and Migurl Orgino or Racquet,

steamer which leaves Savannah took $50 and con-
veyed them past Savannah to the River Planta-
tions, and there they were scattered through the
country.

TIE ATLANTIC CABLE.

new YORK, Dec. I3.
A letter from Valentia, Nov 21st, states that the
large shore end of the Atlantic Cable was laid on
the previous Friday. Five miles were laid, and
it is beeve ed that if the miles still at Green
wich had been added to it the result would have
been satisfactory. After passing the spot where
the shore end terminated, some Of the in their
anxiety to continue the under running of the small
cable, discovered kink where the conducting
wire was exposed to the water. The defective
part was cut out and the under running discon>
tinued though it is probable that other defects of
the kind would have been discovered. The cable
was not tested after the shore end had been at
tached. nor was there anybody at Valentia eapa-
BILE of doing it.
