CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CATHOLIC lNsTGTUTE.-Last night the Rev. Chas.
F. King, of Loyola College, lectured in this lnsti-
tute to large and respectable audience. In ac-
cepting the invitation to address them, he did so
with the express understanding that he was not to
give them lecture, because a lecture required
preparation; and he had not had time prepare one
although he perfectly willing to do so. He
based his remarks the "Princple of Association "
Associations in general essential to the social
happiness of man, but there man of the name
of Hobbies, an English philosopher, who asserted
that man was naturally unsocial, untitled for soci-
ETY., and was notintended by his Maker for society,
and the reason was, because man was an individual
who possessed in himself all the elements of war,
and naturally inclined to iniure others. Anoth
or man by the name of Rousseau, man STEPPED in
infdelty, ventured 70 give utterance the heart
less assertion that not intended
for society; and he deduced the conclusion
from entirely different premises from those
used by Hobbies, because he said that man was
naturally simple and good, and that by mixing in
society he became corrupt. Mr.. King went on to
show that man was naturally social. This was
proved by mans necessities, because in his infancy
he has to be assisted by othersin his youth he had
to be instructed-in his manhood he had to attend
to the relations of family, and in his old age he had
to be treated like child In Shakespeare's pic
ture of the ''Seven Ages man is truthfully
described by master hand His facu ties indicate
that he is social, for through external signs
the internal emotions of the mind. The printing
press useful to the dissemination of thought and
religion, was made the vehicle of crime; but still
the printing press not to be broken up on that
| ground. Association was a great engine for good
for evil, and although association was frequently
used for good purposes, so it was for bad There
was an old French proverb, which says The
| company OF two is the company of God,
the company of three is the company of
| kings and the company of four is the company of
the devil" The Psalmist tells us that "with the
innocent man you will be innocent, and with the
perverse man you will be perverse." But comb-
nations were outside the earth, for told that
the angels attempted to dethrone God and be their
| an iati
| and cubbed themselves together. 1t was secret
society--a sort of Known Nothing concern-and so
rapidly did the spirit of rebellion spread, that
third of the heavenly host got the Infection but Just
as quick they were cast into hell. After instancng
some cases TO prove that man was being destined
for association, the Reverend gentleman concluded
his address, which listened to with marked at
| tention.
MEETING OF THE OLD DEFENDERs-A special
meeting of this body took place in the old City
Hall last night, Captain Andrew E. Warner in the

Col. Brewer, (the Secretary,) called attention to
the number of persons who stood aloof from the
Society of Defenders ordinary occasions, but
when anything of Importance took place-such as
the preaching of their annual sermon or going to a
levee-they would fall into their ranks, and par
ticipate in their honors, and still refuse to pay the
