~ The Lecture of Mr.. Marshall on
Wednesday evening was we'll attended and
listened to with profound attention. The lec-
tcrer did not allude to his former discourses
here. nor make any apologies in an extenua>
tion Of his conduct in those essays.
He began by defining the province and
scope Of History. that it includes moral, civil
intellectual and political History, as we'll a.
its wars. revolutions. &C.. and that it is US
ally divided by historians, into three great di.
visions; the second Of which, or that including
the middle ages. he undertook to deliceate.
The Speaker ran over rapidly and cursorily
many of the great events which occurred about
the close of the l4th aud during the 18th and
18th centuries. and argued that, although each
one is . separate part, and Independent Of each
other yet they all conspired to the same, and
although the principal actors had little or no
conception Of the vast results, that Revol atiens
do not come Of . sudden, but are the Eatural
result Of . long series Of causes.

pire and the sceptrs assumed by Constantine
the Great-the overthrow Of Psganism by
Christianity. and the establishment Of the
Greek Church. the revival of Greek literature,
the cultivation of the Fine Arts and that Ma

uted much to this end.
The discovery Of America BY Christopher
Columbus in l492-g7, although . blxndtr (said
he in Columbus), yet he considered
it the greatest event Of the time. He
alluded also to the invention Of the art Of
printing. the progress in astronomy and navi.
ga'ion, - performing their part in what be
termed inssrrecs;oa Of mind at that time
But the speaker was particularly happy in
his illusions TO the mighty revolution and reior-
nation, headed by Martin Luther, aided BY
Aelanchton, Calvin. Ssrvitus aad others. and
that the great fathers Of the reformation were
al reared in the Roman Catholic Church. He
dwslt particularly and severely on the part
played by John Calvin, the father Of Presby.
seriauism, in the trial and punishment of the
great Servitus, Who was also Protestant, be-
fore the Council Of Nice. and in this connec-
tion his apcstrophe to the Lake Of Gsnevs was
. specimen Of the most beautiful oratory one
can imagine.
The lecturer then passed in rapid review the
character and traits Of the great soversigns Of
Europe. to Wit: Henry 4th do Navarro,
Charles v. Frederick II. Maximilisn and Mary
Of Burgundy. Ferdinand and Isabella, and
