DIP COrE,S rILLRD LECTERE.


The Rev. DR.. Coke delivered, on Thursday even
ing last at the Monument Assembly Rooms, corner
of Centre and st. Paul Streets the third lecture of
the coursc-on English Poetry-for the benefit of
the Church Home and Infrmary. His previous
lecture having been upon the subject of the Old
English Ballads, he occupied the attention of his
auditors this occasion, exclusively, with a criti-
cal reading of the famous ballad Of "Adam Bel,
Clym of the Cloughe, and Wyllyam of Cloudesle," "
prefaced by few Introductory remarks. This, be
said, the finest specimen of English ballad poe
try extant. In the ballad of Chevy Chase there
were perhaps passages to be found of more stirring
interest, but in Adam Bel there were greater va
rety of beautiful thoughts, and more happy and
natural illustrations of character. The Oldest
printed copy of this ballad was dated 1910,
but nothing further is known of its history
or origin The bold and daring robbers the story of
whose adventures it relates, must have lived in the
greenwood of the north of England, in the reign
of Henry I'd. Bishop Percy in his "Reliques"
points out various illusions to this ballad, made by
different authors, among whom he mentions Shak-
speare who seems to refer to Adam Bel, in Much
Ado-About-N sthing, and also in Romeo and Juliet.
The lecturer then read the entire ballad, explaining,
he proceeded its quaint and obsolete expressions.
The subject of the fourth lecture to be delivered at
the same place on Thursday evening next, was an
nounced to be " CHANGER and his times"

CONVENTION OF COLoRED PEOPLE FOR THE STATE OF
0HIO.-A Convention of colored men for the State
of Ohio designed to institute measures and take ac-
ion which shall gain for the coored citizens polti-
cal and social rights equal to those of the white
citizens, assembled in Cincinnati on Wednesday
morning, at the Baker Street Church. Among the
resolutions adopted were the following:
Resolced, That we say to those who would induce
us to emigrate to Africa or elsewhere, that the
amount of labor and selfsacrfce required to estab
lish home in a foreign land, would, if exercised
here, redeem our native land from the grasp of
slavery; therefore are resolved to remain where
are, confident that ''truth is mighty and will
prevail"
Resolred, That combination of labor and capi-
tai will, in every field of enterprise, be our true
policy. Combination stores of every kind, combi-
nation work shops and combination farms will, if
everywhere established greatly increase wealth,
and with it our power.
Resolced, That the State Central Committee be
instructed to prepare two petitions for general cir
culation, one to be signed by whites favorable to
equal rights, and the other by the colored people,
male and female, old and young, emitting none who
able to make their mark.

The Case of the SLAYER Eello-senatorial Com.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 27.-The United Sta tie
Circuit Court met here to-day, Judges Wayne,
Washington and Mctiraw, of South Carolina, pre-
siding. The charges to the Grand Jury were de
livered, both Judges strongly impressing upon the
jury the duty of impartialy dschargng their oaths
of Office, and while avoiding unfounded accusations,
to suffer personal sentiments or private feelings
to deter them from presenting for investigation
cry where reasonable evidence of guilt exists
These charges, it is understood, were designed to
meet the efforts making by certain parties to in
duce the Grand Jury to refuse to bring in a bill
against the mate and crew ef the SLAYER Echo
Some delay occurred through the difficulty of get
ting full jury together. The probability is, that
the action of the Grand Jury will be made known
on Monday.
The subject of the selection of candidate for the
seat in the Senate of the United States, left vacant
by the death of Senator Evans, is now the proUli-
nent question under discussion in political circles
Ex-Governor Adams is the favorite of all those
who desire agitating the question of the reopen
ing of the slave trade, but r. Barnwell Rhett, Ex
Governor Manning, Gen. Mcqueen, will most
likely be the choice of the Legislature.

THE CAss-HERRAN TREATY.-The treaty negotiated
between General Cass and Senior Herran, for the
settlement of the questions growing out OF the Pan
anna outrage, says the Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia North American, will be submitted
to the Senate for ratification in the form in which it
was amended by New Granada. The Minister ad-
dressed an explanatory letter to the Government,
which relieves the notifications of their objectona-
BILE features; and mean time New Granada has agreed
to suspend the collection of the tolls claimed
to be imposed on the mail and other matter passing
over the Isthmus. In fact the officers of squad
ron have been instructed, in the last resort, to
resist these levies by force, should they be at
tempted. So that the New Granada difficulty, which
has first and last so much exercised the public mind,
may be regarded definitely settled and the Presi-
dent will inform the country of that factin his an

LETTER FROM THE PREsID ENT.-The following is
extract from the letter from Mr.. Buchanan
read at the Pittsburg celebration on Thursday
The cheerful prospect which he takes of the future
will commend itself to all.
From the stand point at which we have arrived
the anxious patriot cannot fall whilst reviewing
speculate upon what may be the condition of our
beloved country, when your posterity shall assem-
BILE to celebrate the second centennial anniversary
of the capture of Fort Duquesne Shall our whole
country then compose one united nation more pop
ulous powerful and free than any other which has
ever existed? Or will the confederacv have been
rent asunder and divided into groups of hostile and
jealous States? Or may it not be possible that ere
the next celebration. all the fragments exhausted
by inermenate conflicts with each other, may have
finally reunited and sought refuge under the shell
ter of one great and overshadowing despotism?
These questions will, firmly believe, under the
providence of God, be virtually decided by the
present generation. We have reached crisis
when upon their action depends the preservation of
the Union according to the letter and spirit of the
constitution; and this once gone all is lost.
| regret to say that the present omens are far
from propiticus. In the last age of the Republic,
it was considered almost reasonable to pronounce
the word Disunioa. Times have since sadly
changed, and now disunion is freely prescribed as
the remedy for evanescent evils, real or imaginary
which if left to themselves would speedily vanish
away in the progress Of events.
Our revolutionary fathers have passed away, and
the generation next after them who were inspired
by their personal counsel and example, have nearly
all disappeared
