SATURDAY MORNING. MARCH q, 1858.


The lecture of the Rev. DR.. BOes, before the Mer-
camille Library Association, last night at Odd Eel
lews' Hall, afforded much qualification to audience
respectable in numbers and refined and intelligent in
appearance; large proportion being ladies'.
The lecture hardly so practical as we expected
IT would be, from the title Of the subject selected
that Of Scientific Education" But it was truthful,
and by turns philosophicay forcible and poeticaly
eloquent The idea advanced was, that the present
system Of education could not be considered as prop
erly developing the youthful mind for the full appre-
citation Of nature it presents itself on every side
and at all times. The majesty which creation dlsco
ses to all who trained to thoroughly understand
it, the lecturer argued could not fail to enlarge the
nlnd-to resder it fully alive in its mortal journey,
to the wisdom and goodness of the Creator and pre-
pare it properly for its entrance into immortality
He illustrated the ignorance at present prevailing
on some subjects by some entertaining citations Of
fact and in advancing the harmony of creation in.
troduced original idea, Original to at least) in
regard to the order of disorder" He proved that
in the accidents and Irregularities of life such as
were ordinarily supposed to conflict with the unver-
sal harmony, there was almost a mathematical
average. The annual number of suicides in London
the annual number of dead letters in the Paris
post-oflce-the annual number of marriages in a
given popuIation-had been shown, by careful atis-
tics, to differ but very little in succession Of years
But we cannot speak at length of the lecture 1t
enough to say that instructed and gratifed all the
hearers, as was evidenced by their repeated and
hearty applause.
After the lecture, Mr.. Rice recited his poem or
" The Present Time" 1t was q rambling production
part sober philosophy and part satire, in which the
weakness for Dunninp disclosad itself in severa

DEsTITUTIoN AND SUIcIDE.-A A German named
Charles Myers committed sucide in New York on the
18th by swallowing arsenic. The Tribune says
Sophia Myers, daughter Of the unfortunate man,
testified that the family extremely destitute and
that since the hard times commenced, some months
ago, her father had been out of employment. The
consequence was that his rent for two months past
had not been paid and the unfeeling landlord turned
them out to seek shelter elsewhere. A few months
ago. this family was burned out and by that calamity
lost all their earthly possessions.
We do not remember an occurrence of this kind in
any Southern city Extreme and hopeless destitution
is peculiar it seems, to those regions where human
philanthropy blows its trumpet loudest.
