TuE LEcrURE.-Prof.P cndleton, of Beth
any College, Va, read a lecture, in Kilgore
Hall, last evening, for the benefit of the
Disciples Church in this city. The Hall
was pretty we'll filled; and the intelligent
looking audience appeared to be pleased
with the matter and manner of the dis
course. Other lectures, for the same OBJ
ject, will be delivered this winter. from
time to time.
AcCrDENT.-Patriclz Devlin, n drayman
Of this city, made n mis-step yesterday. in
the distillcry of Messrs. r. Il II. Mears,
which resulted in his falling through a
hatchway, and receiving severe bruises.
Three of his ribs and an arm were broken.
He is laid up for some time.
SUIoIDE.-An elderly, unmarried man,
named John +. Mills, native of Philadel-
phia, and for a few years resident of this
city, put an cad to his mortal career last
evening. about half-past six o'clock. by
cutting his throat with Il knife.
PRICES OF HOGs.-Prices of hogs in this
market remain firm as we had them rcpor-
ted a week ago--yiz: S5@5,l2, as per
quality. In some of the ncighboring mar
kets the figures are not quite so high.

disturbances among those mischieYously
inclined. But the occasions of such diff
cultics arise not from any serious OF wide
spread INSTRUMENTATION to mw-for this is
not conceivable under n government so
free as ours, and among people so gem
orally intelligent. Suchtdisturbances have
their origin in the funaticism of a few,
who neither know limit or curb to their
unreasonable and disorgauized conceptions
of liberty. These disturbances must, how
ever, always be local and temporary inthcir
character. As n nation, we had little
cause to fear them. 1t was lesson which
we had not fully learned yet to be more
tolerant of each others opinions, and we
should never know the full measure of
true rational liberty until we did.
The preservation to us intact of the in
stitution of the Christian Sabbath was
another great cause for our rejoicing as
people. Snbbaths were hardly known
on the continent of Europe Our coun-
try, on the other hand, is the land of
the Sabbath and of Bibles. The Sabbath
and its sanetuaries, its ministers, &c, the
Sabbath, with its solemn utterances of the
word of the MOsT HIGH-its enunciations
of holy law, and its offers of his mercv:-
All this and these it was that tended to so
etfectually give US confidence in the sta
bility of the communities of our country.
Law was nothing of itsclfwithout the indi-
vidual sense of accountability, which was
so generally prevalent through the offices
and instrumcutaliticS incident to an obser-
vance of the Christian Sabbath And vet
the Sabbath has beeu imperilled during
the last year. Attempts have been made
by organizations-not of our citizens it is
true, but upon our soil, to do away with
the observance of the Sabbath, and to
substitute for it the lax notions of Europe.
These attempts, one and all, so far had sig
nally failed. The getters up of them had
shown not only Il woful ignorance of the
spirit of our institutions, but of our peo-
pie.
The speaker then passed to the congid-
Grafton of the recent great REVEALS of re-
ligion as affording great cause of rejoicing
to the people of God. The most Won
age were some~ of these great divine
manifestations among large bodies of peo-
pie. Men had forgotten their shops, c0un-
ting houses, and haunts of pleasure, in or
der to assemble where prayer and praise
to God were wont TO be heard. Many
thousands had thus, involuntarily, turned
from their errors to the knowledge and
service of God
In conclusion of his enumeration of the
many causes we had for thankfulucss as Il
