Rev. r. STARR KING.-We have seldom
had the pleasure of listening to a more inter
esting Lecture than the one delivered by the
Rev. 7. Starr King, at the Brick Church, on
Wednesday evening last, on the subject of
" Washington and our Country" The master
y eloquence of the speaker, riveted the atten-
ton of the audience, so firmly, that an almost
breathless silence pervaded the whole assem-
blage-broken only by an occasional outburst
of applause and even after the orator closed,
and had taken his seat, they remained for some
moments seemingly spellbouDd in their seats,
as if to catch the last reverberation from his
voice. His allusion to incidents in the career
of the great Washington, which happened
4 seventy years ago." were vivid illustrations
Of scenes and events now transpiring even
around the repository Of his sacred remains
The declaration that no other flag but ours,
should ever float over, and no other nation
possess the sacred tomb of the Father of his
Country, though it should take a half million
glistening bayonets to protect it, will, we
doubt not, find response within the heart of
every one, unless he be a black hearted, trea-
son-hardened Secessionist. We understand
that it is the intention of Mr.. King to lecture
in this place again, on his return from the
North, which will be in about two weeks. A
more general notice will undoubtedly be given.
of his next lecture, so that all may have the
privilege of attending.
