TIE LECTURE THIS EvESNa.-We have
already called attention to the lecture
which is to be given at the Academy of
Music this evening, by Mrs. Thompson
the Union spy, and refugee from EastS m
Tennessee. Her history since the breaI. .ing
out of the war is of the deepest interest.
Her husband, loyal Tennesseean, Escaped
into Kentucky at the commencement of
the war, and engaged in the UEited States
service, being employed 90 gather refugee
recruits in East Tenasssee and conduct
them across the mountZins into Kentucky.
Mrs. Thompson, who had remained at
home, aided her husband materially in
this work, and ss its result over nine hun
dred men were added to the Union army.
In the discharge of his duties he was twice
captured by the rebels, and sentenced to
be hung, but escaped. Falling
third time into their hands, he was
murdered in April last by q party of bush
whsckeys S. Since that time, IS well as pre-
viOuslY, Mrs, Thompson has been of the
grestest service to the Union forces, acting
sS . Union spy, and carrying over FIVE
hu'ndred dispatches through the rebelIines
to our generals. She was living near
Greenville, Tennessee, at the time that
John Morgan visited that place, and learn
ing of his presence at the house of q Mrs.
Williams, she sent TO our officers dis
patch informing them of the fact, and lead
ing to his death. She has been several
times arrested, and after this event would
have been hung had she not been recap
tured by cur forces. She has since come
North, and is now at the United States
General Hospital at Camp Cleveland where
she has been detailed as nurse by the
Inspector General. She brings letters from
a number of leading Union men, citizens of
Tennessee, including Andy johnson him
self, which afford incontestsbleproofo of the
truth of her story. In her lecture this
evening she will detail her various sdven-
lures and sufFerings, and those of other 10y
al East Tennesseeans. We hope no onewin
/ fail TO listen to her most interesting recital,
and aid in relieving the necessities of a
brave and patriotic woman, who has proven
her devotion to the Union by such daring
and suffering.

EEGLrsH OPERA TRoUPE.-With the excep-
ton of few brief visits from the, ,Richings'
Opera Company, our CleYeland audiences
have during the past few years enjoyed but
few opportunities of listening to English
opera. We are glad TO announce that we
are soon to be favored with a season of
English opera, rendered BY good perform
ers. The Campbell and Castle English OPP
era Company WILSON appear at the Acad-
smy of Music in this city. They are now
playing in Buffalo, meeting with immense
success, and winning the warmest com
mendations from the best musical critics in
that city. We trust that they will meet
with 3 cordial reception here.

THE "LooKE4 Sw1EsLE'' IN ApR1Ak.-The
Detroit Tribzl,vs contains the following ae-
count of a swindle recently perpetrated in
Adrian, A similar one, probably engi-
neered by the same parties, successfully
humbugged a number of our citizens last
fsn as they will doubtless remember
Considerable excitment and stir was
started in the streets on Wednesday about
three O'Clock in the afternoon, by an indi-
vidual who, seated in carriage, offered
to give to any one $40 for So, S. for 81, 81
for 81, etc. After collecting a crowd and
disposing Of number of bills in this man
ner, he threw handful of small bills
among the crowd, stating that he had
more money tnan he knew what to do with.
He displayed some jewelry and commenced
selling thrlt, and as soon as he had sold
an artic) o he at once returned the money
togethe, with the article to the purchaser.
vi COZ Irse he was soon surrounded by q large
croV I'd eager to buy. In short time he went
eVlsy, telling the crowd thathe was going in
'front.' of the Post Office, and warned them
not to be too greedy, but give others
chance to buy. Arrived in front of the
Post Office he commenced selling again
articles in value from 81 to So, and in every
case returned the money. He then offered
some Iockets at S., and soon had distributed
about twenty or thirty, and received as
many VS., when he told the crowd that he
wouldn't sell any more that, and bade his
driver drive on. The blank astonishment
depicted on the eountenanceB of some
twenty or thirty individuals who we're each
minus a V, and plus locket werth prob
ably 25 cents, can be moro easily i'm
agined than described. But it was all fair
play and 70 one could complain. The fell
low had taken out license to sell before
he commenced. Taken altogether, it was
the boldest and coolest sWindle ever heard
of in these parts. Two or three of our
prominent citizens were among the SOLD
Probably the fellow will make his appear
ance in other of our cities if he has not al
ready done so.

MORNING LEADER oTFIoE, !

MONDAY Jan. zSds 1855.
As noted in our last, the depression IN busins 8
circles has reduced the discount demand at the
Banks to mere nominal position, and there Is
very little doing. The currency supply, in the
meantime, IS growing, ard when the occasion pre-
leats ITSELF the Banks will be in all the better con-
ditIon to meet it in consequence of the present
quiet that enables then to accumulate their re-
sources. Such period is looked for before great
while.
Exchange Is In good supply and also rules quiet
the rates remaining ct 76974 of buying and par
selling.
Gold opened, this morning, at a trihing advance
upon Saturday evenings closing rates, but the i'm
provsment was not sufficient to effect favorably
the general markets, which for most commodities
continue to decline. At one o'clock to-day the
price was 2O1. This evening the market closed at
1887.
Government and Railway Stocks gave way again
to-day, Fiye-twentiss rscediDg one per cent. from
FridAy's rates, and Railwsy shares showing an
average decline Of 293c.
The Second National Bank has received sub
ssriptions to the seysn-thirty Loan, for the past
three days, to the amount Of ssO,ooC.
The chief excitement in this city at present is
in connection with the developments Of oil BY the
Liverpool Gil Company, Of which we made mention
yestsrdsy. Tbs stock Of the company appreciated
rapidly, selling at IS per share. and some parties
were asking considerably higher figure than this
large amount changed hands during the day.
This evening meeting of the Directors aud Stock
holders was convened to consider the proposition of
closing the books together with other mstt:rs per
taining to the interests of the company. What
conclusion Wa5 reached We were unable to learn.

The LIVERPOOL ConPAEY.-The announce

The par value of the stock is one dollar.
