THE GRAND CONCERT Monday night next at
the Hibernian Hall, has been the chief TOPIC of
town talk for several days past And at this we
are not surprised. The, programme, published in
another column Of to-day's NEWS, tells it own
story and needs no commend alton from u.s. We
have also had au inkling Of the personnel of the
corps Of artists and urtistes who have kindly con

The mixture Of sacred and secular music will
add very much to the interest of the performance.

LITERARY LEcTUREs.-Although we have no
theatre Or place Of public amusement, vet We are.
happy to announce that there is in store rich lit
erary treat IN the shape Of lecture to be delivered
at st. Stephens Church, on Monday evening, BY
the Rev. DR.. LORD. The reputation of the reyer
end lecturer as pulpit orator is only equalIed by
MS literary attainments, and the subject chosen,
"Bunyan's Pilgrim compared with his Detractors. y
Will be one Of great interest
The lecture will be divided into several bao5s
and the character of BUNgAN discussed, and his
work compared with those Of different authors.
The subject is one that will be very interesting as
there are few who have not perused the sePilorims
Progress" with avidity in their younger DAYS. St.
Stephens Church has been chosen on account Of
ats central position, and the low price of admission
demanded-only fifty cents will induce large
attendance.
these literary entertainments are rare and should
De given more frequently as they ars very instruc
tive, and result in far good than the frivolous
amusements Of the day. A Lyceum established in
this city would in short time become extremely
popular, and many whose evenings are now spent
in idle dissipation, by attending, would ACQUIRE
valuable information. They have long been recog-
nized in the North valuable adjuncts to the
common school, and the most popular orators are
engaged to lecture on POLITICAL literary and scien-
tiic subjects.
