MIR. TYLER's LECTURE on "the Greatness
and Littleness of England" is not well de-
scribed by the title. What Mr.. Tyler says OF
the greatness of England is neither new
which would hardly be expected-nor espec-
tally well said. 1t is in fact only preface 10
what he has to say of the faults of English So
ciety. The faults which he selected last night
for il ustration, are three-the unequal distrl-
button of wealth, the unequal diffusion Of edu-
cation. and the pernicious and inveterate habit
Of estimating men by their position instead of
their manhood. The lecture abounds in strik-
ing illustrations of these peculiarities of En- =
fish society, drawn from the authors personal
observation during residence of several wears
in England, admirably chosen and forcibly and
wildly presented. The fact that half the land
IN England is owned by $50 men, while the
ratio OF paupers to the entire population is as
l to 16, illustrates the unequal division of prop
erty. Over against the intellectual training of
Cambridge and Oxford Mr.. Tyler sets the fact
that IN single year nearly half the brides and
nearly third of the bridegrooms in England
and Wales signed the marriage register with
cross The chatter about upper classes and
lower classes, and upper middle classes and
lower middle classes, Mr.. Tyler declares, is the
first thing one hears on landing and the last on
leaving the island. Nevertheless he takes care
to distinguish the two Englands, the Tory Eng
land which is responsible for all these abuses
and the Liberal England, the true England,
which labors to reform them. State street
church was well filled last evening, and the
audience gave repeated indications of their ap-
probation Of the really valuable lecture which
concludes the Christian Association course for
| this season. lEfE ElE H+

VOLUNTARY Abortion, OR FAsHIoNABLE
Prostitution. By Ed. PHI. LeProhon, NJ
y, Portland: Press of B. Thurston g. Co.
For sale in this city by Bailey & Noyes
Such is the title of neat little pamphlet of
"A pages, for copy of which we are indebted
10 the anthor-the French Consul at this port.
Ihis modest treatise, which abounds in facts
and arguments, is leveled against social evil
that has engaged the attention of medical men
and statesmen, and which, it is said, accounts
for the fact of the marked disparity in the
number of births among our native population
as compared with that among the foreign pop
ulation; fact which indicates that the native
blood may soon be nearly all displaced by that
of the foreign. Voluntary abortion is said
to be fearfuly prevalent among married peo-
ple and its prevalence the pamphlet before us
attributes, in large degree, to the character OF
advertisements now common in the papers OF
the day. DR.. LIE Prohon insists upon the dan
ger to the life of our women from this evil prac-
tice, and attributes to it many forms of disease
now common to the female SEX
While we think the pamphlet should be care
fully read and its facts and suggestions well
considered, such is the nature of the subject
that we do not feel disposed to be more specific
in our notice of it in these columns.

n. l.. Woodbury., Israel Washburn, Jr, and
ais. in relation to loans to Railroad companies,
praying that warrants be issued for legal
meeting of the voters of this city on the 3Oth

the city will loan its credit to the Portland and
Rochester Railroad company in the sum of
100000, and to the Portland 81 Ogdensburg
Railroad company in the sum of 100000. The
Portland and Rochester company not to re-
ceive but $250000 of the amount until satisfac-
tory assurances are furnished to the Mayor

ed with roads in New Hampshire extending

space Of one year TO the Portland and Oedens-
burg company, and then, not until satisfactory

men that a responsible subscription to its cap
ital stock, to such amount as may be satisfac-
tory to them, has been made; and evidence
also shall be furnished that railroad has
been commenced and will be completed, from
the terminus of said road at the western boun-
dairy of this State, through the State OF New
Hampshire to some railroad in tho State Of

mortgage on both roads for its security.
The recent action of the Board in relation to
the meeting to vote upon granting aid to the

that warrants be issued for legal meeting of
