~, Morr.r's LECTURES. Notwithstanding the
weather was unfayorablc on Saturday night, the
old Third Street Church was filled at an early
hour by on audience of ludies and gentlemen, at
tracted by the high reputation OF tins gentleman
ma pubiic lecturer ON Temperance and we are
eratiied to be able to say that their antcipations
wer. fully met For an hour and shalf the spea-
kor had the undivided attention OF his auditory.
who were convinced and pleasel with his logical
and mirth-proyoking address. Although the
theme was one familiar to all by reason OF tie
thousand and one discourses that have been pro
nounccd upon it since the days ct the old Wash
ingtouians, the subject under the magic totiches
of n master hand came out before US with fresh
ness that was really refreshing. And whilst he
rapped the moderate drinker over the knucklos
for his fashionable social custom in manner not
soon to be forgotten, and dealt his wcl!-nhned
blows ut the traffic in arncnt spirits without the
least sprinkling Of forbearance or mercy sun 1t
was all done SO smoothly and handsomely that
even those who were the objects of his vigorous
attacks could not have found it in their hearts to
complain of the ventilation which the speaker
took the liberty of making Of their past history
and record. Even the most ardent lovers of the
"critter" in it's multifarious forms. and the most
determined vendors of the best brands were made
to feel that there much truth rs eetry in the
conclusions of the speaker. when be affirmed that
the custom of drinking alcoholic liquor was dan.
gerous and the traffic Ubiquitous. How long these
Impressions remained upon the minds of
some who werc present it is not for us to say but
if they were as profound as they were cordially
received they will not be easily efaced. Tho
speaker was frequently interrupted by demonstra-
tons of delight and satisfaction, and the audience
seemed to regret very much when he bowed his
acknowledgements for their patience aud attention
and took his seat.
Of the lecture on Sunday afternoon we must do
fer any notice until tomorrow.

INTERESTING FROM CHINA-Progress of the
Var and the RebelLron.-A letter in the Brit
ish Journal, dated Shanghae, May 30, gives
an account Of the PROCESS of the rebellion in
China and OF the Preparations making by the
Allies to carry on the war:
News was received on the oath instant. from
the ely of Soochow, that the rebels were again
preparing for an attack on the city, which
caused great terror and alarm among the native
trading people who gathered their property to-
gether, and left in great number for Shangha
In hopes OF escaping the plllaging, numbering,
&c, which is always the result of these rebel
attecks. Conflicting reports are arriving from
Soochow daily, and and We trust matters are
not In such deplorable state as the Chinese
make them out. One report says that 800, 900
rebels had marched into Soochow setting fire
to the city in every direction, and committing
rohberies and murder with perfect impunity.
Thousands Of Chinese merchants, who had
bought quantities of goods in Shanghae, found
such state Of things on arriving near
Soochow, that they turned back, and are now
availipg themselves Of the hospitalities of for
eigners-paying for the same, of course-to
store their goods for safe keeping in our 60
downs. These bands of rebel miscreants seem
to have no object in view but to plunder; in
fact. they are composed Of the low uneducated
rabble, who can be led about by one or two of
their chiefs, just as they see fit. Our river is
DOW alive with small craft, which have come
down the Soochow Creeks and made rendes-
vous OF the foreign settlement until the excite
ment is over.
Several Cinnamon have been taken in the
city recently, on suspicion Of wearing the yell
low jacket, and beads in their hair. which is
the rebel distinction. All such as are caught
are dealt summarily with at the hands of the
Taon-sai. Last Sunday afternoon, the 9th in
slant, twenty Of these unfortunates were be-
headed inside the wall, and their heads expos
ed in cages at the gate ways leading out of the
avenues towards the foreign quarters. The
Taon-sai has again applied to Messrs. Bruce
4 Bourboulon to have foreign troops stationed
in the city to protect it from the encroach-
ments Of the rebels, who are expected at any
moment. The foreign ministers have assured
the Tacn-sai that they viii protect the city and
foreign settlement, should it become necessa.
ry, and large placards have accordingly been
posted through the city, urging confidence and
quietness among the Chinese
