PHILADELPHIA March &c 1860.
Mr.. EDIroR:-On Tuesday evening last
Mr.. Octavius V. Cato lectured before the
Banneker Institute, in the basement of st.
Thomas Church, on Egypt This was
Mr.. Catto's first appearance on the lecture
stand, and l am happy to say that the eff
fort was brilliant The works of art erect
ed by mighty people, their skill in arch
itecture, their manners, customs, and SUI
perstltions, were all pictured to the life
So precise was this epitome OF Egyptian
history that one might almost have tancied
that the lecturer was describing his native
home. This is the result of study, and it
is to be regretted that our young men, as
general thing, do not make better use of
their time. Mr.. Cato is a son of the Rev
VIM. IL. Cato, and is an active member of
the Banneker Institute He is model
for our young men, both in morals and in
mind.
The Banneker Institute advertised a
course of ten lectures. That of tuesday
was the ninth, and only one remains to be
delivered-that of Mr.. Jacob &. White,
Jr. After the first Of April there is no
guarantee of having large audiences at
these lectures, especially if the weather is
warm Thus far, we have had very little
reason to complain of small audiences when
the weather was fine and the walking good

after lingering pulmonary affection of NOR
than twelve months, Anna Josephus, younges
daughter of B and E. Clark, aged 10 year
and months.
Again have we been called to mourn
The loss of one so near
Death from our arms hath rudely torn
Our youngest jewel dear.
We gathered round her dying bed
With hearts to pray and weep;
And 0, what bitter tears we shed,
When Anna went to sleep.
An angel near and nearer came
Where, dying, Josy lie,
Then gently famed her fragile frame,
And pointed to the sky.

of order. The Presbyterian minister should
not only be man of God, but he ought to
be intelligent. He was glad to know that
the Planestreet Church had procured the
services of an intelligent minister, and one
who had the interest Of his people at heart
Mr.. Wilson concluded by making some
telling remarks in reference to the religious
education Of our children.
The pastor then arose, and after con-
graduating the members of his church on
the success with which they had been
blessed, stated that the ladies, through the
proceeds of fair held during the holidays,
had succeeded in accomplishing the paint
ing and re-furnishing of the house, but not
outstanding they had been quite econom-
ical with the funds, they were still in debt
about fifty dollars. He then introduced
Rev. II. Ii. Garnet, the talented and gifted
pastor of Shiloh Presbyterian Church in
your city, who commenced, in his usual
happy style, by saying that if he was to
make speech of one half-hours length,
he should name as his theme Progress
and Unity" He would say, however,
that we live in an age of progress; every
thing seemed to be growing. Whoever is
disposed to stand still will be crushed by
the heavy wheels Of progress. He then
said that the house of God should be neat
and cOmmodious, but should not be SO fine
but that the poorest man would feel at home
in it. They should be united for "in union
there is strength" Mr.. Gloucester, in his
remarks, having made an allusion to him,
Garnet with reference to the civilization
Of Africa, he replied by saying that he be-
leved Ethiopia would soon stretch out
her hands to God"-that princes would
come out Of Egypt. He gloried in the
name of Africa. She was once the seat of
learning, but she had been wronged and
basely injured; and now, inasmuch as her
inhabitants were thirsting for the gospel,
he would not put a straw in their way to
prevent them from obtaining that glorious
BOOM but would labor with all the ener-
gies of his soul to send the gospel to the
sons of that benighted land; but while he
labored for the civilization of Africa, he
would not discountenance any project for
the elevation of his people i'll this country.
lie was vii ing to labor with tongue and
pen for the benefit of his race Men too
often misrepresented him, and he did not
like to be misrepresented. The wonderful
spell Of Mr.. Garnets eloguence held the
audience in a spell of silence, and had he
been speaking in a public hall it would
have been broken by irrepressible bursts
of applause.
The exercises were interspersed with
music by the choir, under the direction of
Mr. Abram Cook, the popular chorster of
the church The benediction was pro-
