MENTAL ScIENcE.-Mr. Stewart had an
sppreciative audience at his lecture at Me-
chanics' Hall on Saturday evening. He DEM
onstrated the laws Of mind In clear manner,
exploding the materialistic theory of mind,
and establishing the point, that by attention TO
the world Of nature and the internal operations
Of mind we may obtain all attainable knowl-
edge. Thatin the rise and progress Of thought
the moral susceptibilities are developed. That
conscience is not a moral sense but an intel
lectual faculty-the judgment which the mind
possesses upon the moral quality of its own
action. These were all well illustrated. The
subject Of the next lecture, on Wednesday
evening, instead Of this evening, win be upon
the moral and emotional susceptibilities of the
mind; that the development Of these viii give
controlling influence to mans noblest attri-
butes. These lectures are Of the most valua-
bic nature and ought TO be literally patronized
by all.

reservations are of the purely womanly sort,
