LIrxsARY lnsTlrurs-Gscenl Lecture. -
Notwithstanding the slippery walking and storm Of
last evening, the audience to hear the lecture Of D.
G. Richman, Esq, On the "Charactar Of Josephine

citizens to brave inclensat vssthsr in attending
these lectures It the strongest kind of evidence
that they are appreciated.
Mr.. Richmsn viewed Josephine - . bright and
shining example of what woman, with nsbleness
Of ssul such - she possessed, nsv accomplish He
traced her history throsgh her svsntfal and roman
tic life-irst = the wife Of Bsuharnsis, in prison,
s,d released on the eve Of her intended death
next as the companion Of Gen. Bonaparte, the first
Consul, and Afterwards ~ Empress Of France
then as The discarded Queen, the divorced wife,
pat away without cause-yet in all these varying
relations exhibiting that true nsblsnsss OF soul
which enabled her to meet them with quiet grace
of manner and IN easy dignity of bearing, far re-
moved from hsurhtiness on the one hand and SER
Witty on tho other.
We have neither space ner.tine to speak at length
Of the various scenes in her life so entsrsainingly
introduced by the lecturer. We will conclude cur
notice with his concluding words:
"Let 40 learn wisdom by the teachings Of the
past Chsrishing and initiating the gentle charities
and noble GOODNESS Of Josephine let az endesvsr to
