THr LEcrrRE.-There was not as large an
audience present at the Atheneum last even
ing as we had hoped. Albeit we do not an
tend TO intimate thereby that the attendance
was extraordinarily slim. The subject OF

has become somewhat hackneyed, but he
treated it in a lively and graphic manner, that
repeatedly brought down the house.
Two more lectures, we believe, close the
course for the present season.
