Mr.. MULLALY's LEcTURE.-By the re-
port of the committee below, it will be
seen that the New Memphis Theater has
been procured for the lecture Of Mr.,
Mullaly on Monday evening next, and
we doubt not the spacious auditorium of
the establishment will be filed to over
flowing. The distinguished lecturer, his
theme and the worthy object to which the
proceeds of the occasion are to be APP
piled should insure no less. We give
the report of the committee:
The undersigned Committee Of Ar
rangements beg leave to report that they
have procured the New Memphis Theatre
for Monday evening, when Mr.. John
Mullaly has kindly consented to deliver
lecture on "The Political Situation and
Questions of the Hour" Ticket for the
lecture, one dollar; to be obtained at the
Avalanche and appeal Offices, and also
at the office of Blgley, Mellersh d Co.,
the prominent book stores, and Of Mr..
Chris. Steinkuhl at the theatre.
Respectfully,
GEORGE MELLERsH,
