49, The second Of the Independent Course

aI- The second of the Independent Course
of Lectures, was by Rev. DIR. THOMPSON, OF
New York, last evening. His subject was.
Revolution Against Free Government not
Right, but Crime" The position taken
was an Innovation upon the cherished opinions
Of most present, but was well sustained by
sound argument and able reasoning. Whetl-
er or not his audience were forced by his log
ic to embrace his sentiments, we are not pre-
pared to judge. DIR. T. is calm, clear ,reas-
oner, and his lecture was an honest, earnest,
logical appeal to the conscience and the judg-
ment, rather than to the passions of his audi
ence. His illusions to Gems. Sickles and
Howard, and reference to the President, cali
ed forth general and repeated outbursts OF APP
plause. The singing by Mr.. Shaw's quartette
club was charming, and the closing piece kept
the audience in almost breathless silence until
its close, when it called forth a perfect storm
OF applause.
